After coming out of the Taitai house, Xue Fan rushed to Zhang's house non-stop, probably because he went back too early, Mr. Zhang has not returned home, and several uncles are not at home, this is also a normal phenomenon, several of his uncles are people who have military affairs, and they will not go back if there is nothing major, and they are all married, and almost everyone is a powerful figure in the army, of course, they have a residence in the army

Say hello to grandma first, this is what Xue Fan must do every time he comes over, with the passage of time, grandma's body is gradually not as good as before, although the return of the youngest daughter to the family a few years ago made her happy for a long time, but after all, she is too old, and her body has suffered a lot of damage because of excessive sadness before, and now it is getting worse

The old man was very happy when he saw Xue Fan coming, and his face showed an extremely happy smile, and his spirit improved a lot

Holding Xue Fan's hand, he was even more reluctant to let go, and said, "Xiao Fan, I heard that you have encountered some problems in Xichuan, have you solved them now?" Does it affect you much? Do you want your grandfather to help? ”

The words contained a strong sense of concern, seeing the deep wrinkles on the old man's face, Xue Fan's eyes were a little sour, an old man who stayed at home could know his affairs in Xichuan shows that the old man has been paying attention to his growth, thinking of this, he forced a smile and said: "Grandma, it's nothing, it's all a trivial matter, I've already dealt with it, and it has no impact on me." ”

"Really? Don't hold on, but your personality is too similar to your father, the same stubbornness, and you want to take care of everything by yourself. Ten years ago, he told me the same thing, if he hadn't been so stubborn ten years ago, he might not be in this position now, and he wouldn't have to worry so much. The old man seemed to have thought of something, and said slowly

What the? Ten years ago? Xue Fan was shocked, how could it be? It has only been more than five years since my father brought my mother and myself to the capital to recognize my relatives, and my father met my grandmother ten years ago?

"Grandma, are you mistaken, I was only a year old ten years ago, and my father seemed to be just a department-level cadre at that time. Besides, didn't you find us at that time? How did you meet him? "Although I have doubts in my heart. But Xue Fan still asked calmly, maybe the old man was too old to remember clearly

"Hehe, don't look at my grandmother's age, but this memory is very good. Maybe even better than yours. Ten years ago, your father was not a department-level cadre. He was the youngest department-level cadre in Jiangnan Province at that time, and I can't be mistaken about this, because I met your father that year. In Jiangnan Province, my eyes are also the one that cannot be seen. The old man said with a smile on his face

Xue Fan's eyes widened in an instant, there was really such a thing! Why did my father never talk to my mother about it? What really happened that year? After so many years, Xue Fan was reborn again, and the memories of his two lives were a little confused, and he didn't remember the events of ten years ago too clearly

And since my grandmother met my father ten years ago, why did they know what kind of grandfather they still don't know? This made him have too many doubts in his heart

Just as he was about to continue asking, the old man changed the topic and asked, "You should ask your father about these in the future, you should have come this time for his business, right?" ”

Xue Fan had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Well, my father has reached a critical moment this time, but unfortunately his foundation is still a little weaker, I am indeed here for his business this time, whether it is successful or not, I think I should fight, otherwise how can I know that the road is not good." ”

"Yes, how do you know if you can't get it if you don't fight, it would be nice if your father could think like this a few years ago, but it's not too late, I guess he didn't plan to fight before, I guess you said something to him, right?"

Xue Fan was a little surprised again, how could it seem that several old people knew about this situation, the old man of Tantai was like this, and even his grandmother seemed to know, when did they know his father's personality so well?

Although his vision was already very poor, and he couldn't even see in the other eye, the old man seemed to be surprised when he guessed Xue Fan, patted Xue Fan's hand and continued: "Don't look at you, you are quite perceptive and well-informed, but you still don't know a lot of high-level things, although your father is only a deputy provincial cadre now, he has already entered the sight of the high-level, don't forget a very important thing, his age!" ”

Xue Fan was stunned for a moment, looked back and calculated, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, indeed, his father is only in his early forties now, but he is already the third-in-command of Jiangnan Province, if such a young Zhuang faction can't enter the eyes of the high-level, it is indeed a little too much

However, Xue Fan left a trace of doubt in his heart, is the situation really because of his father's age?

It seems that his suspicions at the beginning are indeed reasonable, he is not so simple as Xue Fan's own father, how can a deputy provincial cadre in Jiangnan Province be so familiar with the current giant Mr. Hong, the number one leader in Mingzhu City, this is unreasonable

Next, the old man didn't continue to say anything more on this issue, and pulled Xue Fan to chat about some family things, maybe because he stayed at home alone, grandma seemed to have a lot to say, but after all, she was old, and she didn't last long before she went in to rest under the reminder of the health care doctor

A conversation with the old man made Xue Fan have too many questions in his heart, it can be said that there are a lot of question marks, if it weren't for his father, he would almost think about using the power of the special department to investigate, but just think about it, it would be illegal to use the power of the tiger to investigate a deputy provincial official, and this person is still his father, which feels too weird

In the evening, Old Man Zhang finally came back, but his face didn't seem to be very good, and a smile appeared on his face after seeing Xue Fan

After having dinner with the two old men together, Xue Fan followed Mr. Zhang into the study, which is also a common practice, as long as the two of them have something more important, they will generally talk about it in the study

"I heard that as soon as you arrived in the capital, you ran to Lao Yutai to take his army?" As soon as Mr. Zhang sat down, he said very directly, with a little smile on his face, I guess this will be happy

"No, I had a good chat with Grandpa Tangtai, but I had some disagreements with Uncle Tangtai, and in the end they still adopted my opinion, how could I take their army, where does this start?" Xue Fan said solemnly, looking a little innocent

Old Man Zhang looked at the little guy in front of him very seriously, and finally Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, very happy, and said with a smile: "What grievances do you have kid can't do?" Maybe they scared them into something, and they joked about their promotions, don't do that in the future, don't you know that Lao Dao has high hopes for you now? ”

"I'm really not kidding, I really think so, if I can get my dad on the throne this time, it's worth paying some price." Xue Fan said seriously, and at the same time expressed his position, and also told the old man

At this time, Old Man Zhang also restrained the smile on his face, and asked seriously, "Do you really think this is worth it?" ”

"Of course, what's not worth it, he's my father, it's not bad for me at all if he gets promoted, and I'm still young, and I have an opportunity, I don't believe that if I lose a chance, I won't have it again next time, even if I agree, you shouldn't agree, right?" Xue Fan said as a matter of course, with a more cunning look on his face

"Okay, you kid, you're not old, and you still have a lot of thoughts, you're tying up a group of our old guys, hehe, but don't say this again, you don't know what Lu Dao was excited about when Lao Tantai called me in the afternoon, he hasn't been long since he recovered, don't let him be so excited anymore, none of us old guys can bear it." Although Mr. Zhang's tone was very flat, the reminder in his words was very meaningful

"Well, I'll pay attention to it later, I won't be so aggressive." Xue Fan nodded

"Your father's affairs are very complicated, I can't say it clearly in a few words, in short, I will speak when necessary, let's talk about yourself, this time Xichuan Province is very big, Panhua City has become a hard-hit area, and the top also attaches great importance to it, recently several main leaders of Xichuan Province have been called to the capital, although it doesn't seem to be a big deal above, but the impact is not very good, you kid put a fire and don't ask, don't you really want to get anything from it?"

Xue Fan was very sensitive to detect something strange from this sentence, he had been angry with his grandfather before, and the attitude of the old man was more supportive of himself as a person who only set fire to the fire and cleaned up the scene by himself, but now it seems to be something different

Could it be that there has been a change in attitude?

"Grandpa, you mean you can ...... now" Xue Fan's eyes suddenly lit up

This time it involves the big move within Xichuan It can be said that Xue Fan played the role of a pioneer in it, and the credit is still very great, and he does have his credit when distributing benefits, but Xichuan's environment is more complicated, and there are too many people who have offended at this time, and there are many cadres above the department level alone.

In order to keep it secret, Xue Fan has always been hiding behind the scenes, and his level is too low to withstand the toss, if this is all at once, a fool will know that this guy has done a lot of things behind his back, otherwise who will remember you as a small section-level cadre?

"The key depends on what you do, your future father-in-law will praise you in front of me......" Old Man Zhang said meaningfully (to be continued......
