Lu Jing knows the old man's habits, if he is drinking tea, it means that he is not in a bad mood, and he can even be said to be a little happier than usual, otherwise he is willing to taste his precious tea.

If the old man is writing calligraphy, that's the end of it. Writing calligraphy is to teach people, and in the process of his writing, you have to look respectfully and endure his aura. In the end, he will naturally be taught a lesson in ancient Chinese.

But the worst thing was not that, but he stood there with his hands behind his back expressionlessly. Don't think that he is standing up to save face, that means he has made up his mind about something. His next order is likely to be to drag you down and shoot you.

"Dad----!" Lu Jing shouted with some excitement in his heart. His father has always been his idol.

The old man glanced at him lightly and said, "Sit!" The tone was calm and steady, not like a spring breeze, but also without that chilling murderous aura.

"Dad, you've lost weight, so you usually have to pay more attention to your body." Looking at his father's white hair on his temples and his thinner cheeks, Lu Jing was a little gloomy, in his memory, that is, four years later, the old man died of illness. At that time, the eldest brother was at a low point in his political career, and the sister-in-law only gave birth to a daughter, and he, his most beloved youngest son, had been studying in other places. Thinking about it, these things hit him hard.

"Well, what's going on with you? Your homeroom teacher's phone calls have all come home. The old man put down the teacup and said.

Listening to the old man's words, Lu Jing's heart loosened the strings that had been tight since the afternoon, in his heart, his father was a big tree that would not fall, sheltering from the wind and rain, and could do anything.

Lu Jing stepped forward to add tea to the old man, casually picked up the blue and white porcelain cup and poured himself a cup, Gu Zuoyan said with a smile: "Dad, your set is outdated, you haven't heard of it, now it's 'confess leniently, sit in prison, resist strictly, and go home for the New Year'!" ”

The old man smiled disdainfully, picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and looked at what it meant, that is, what do you know. A posture that disdains to talk to you.

Lu Jing poured himself a cup of Da Hong Robe, leaned on the edge of the table, sniffed it, took a sip, shook his head and said, "Good tea!" ”

"I don't know how to pretend to understand!" The old man made a comment, he only had this little son at the age of forty-eight, and he was a loving father most of the time in front of him, and he was not too reluctant to pull down his face to discipline him.

Lu Jing didn't speak, and drank tea slowly.

The old man said: "Show me the love letter and see how the level is, I am not embarrassed to give you Lao Tzu." ”

Lu Jing smiled: "How can it be done, what is written for girls to see, what is it for you." ”

The old man nodded, put the teacup down, and motioned for Lu Jing to refill the water for him. Lu Jing sweated a little in his heart, this is how big it is, and a cup of tea is gone. Isn't drinking tea to be drunk slowly? It seems that the old man is also a good person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

As if knowing what he was thinking, the old man said slowly: "Why, I think I don't understand the wonder of tea." ”

"No," Lu Jing smiled and added water to the old man.

The old man nodded at him, "Your mother said that you have something to find your eldest brother, what is the matter, and you still want me to help?" Your eldest brother went to the town of Stonebridge in the afternoon, and something happened there. ”

Sure enough, it started to kick in.

Lu Jing restrained his smile and said, "Dad, this is someone who wants to move the eldest brother." Seeing that the old man was noncommittal, he continued to drink tea. Lu Jing continued: "A cadre under the eldest brother is corrupt, and the evidence has been mastered by others. Those people plan to let the matter in Shiqiao Town continue to ferment, and then at a critical time, the cadre of Tongguò Shuanggui will be dragged into the eldest brother. At that time, the eldest brother didn't have the energy to take care of the affairs of Shiqiao Town. When things get bigger in Shiqiao Town, his subsistence allowance policy will inevitably be ruled a failure by some people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. By that time, the political future of the eldest brother will be over. ”

At the level of the eldest brother, the failure of the policy reform led by him basically means that there will be no big improvement in the future political life.

"How do you know?" The old man said lightly.

Lu Jing was speechless, scratching his head vigorously with his hands. But this was the last thing he could explain. If the old man directly asked about the details of the conspiracy, Lu Jing would be able to answer it completely, and he had been thinking about one detail after another in his heart for seventeen years. The memory is not insignificant. But how does he, a high school student, know these things, but it is an unanswerable question.

He couldn't explain it.

Half-loud, Lu Jing said: "I guess." ”

The old man had a smile on his face and said, "! As he spoke, he tapped his hand on the table again. Lu Jing looked at the calm old man, and helplessly picked up the blue and white porcelain teapot to continue to refill his tea.

Seeing the sad face of the youngest son, the old man picked up the teacup and drank tea, and said slowly, "You have to communicate with your eldest brother about this matter." ”

Lu Jing put the teapot on the table, sat down in the chair in frustration, and sat there crookedly, without saying a word. The old man apparently thought he was a child and did not want to talk to him about things.

After a while, Lu Jing sat up straight, looking at the indifferent old man, Lu Jing didn't know whether he believed his words or not, and emphasized: "Dad, everything that is related to the future of the eldest brother's politics is not a trivial matter, it is a big thing." ”

The old man glanced at Lu Jing in surprise, he didn't expect his youngest son, who had always been a straw bag, to suddenly say such a sentence.

He stared at Lu Jing for a while, put down the teacup, slowly stood up, and said with a smile: "Well, there is growth." ”

Lu Jingzheng was inexplicably looked at by the old man, and his hairs stood up all over his body, but when he saw the old man laughing in a good mood, he didn't know what the old man was thinking.

"It's time to eat, Lao Lu, Xiaojing," Ms. Luo shouted in the living room. Both people in the study heard it.

"Eat first!" The old man gestured and walked to the door of the study.

Looking at the figure of the old man walking slowly, Lu Jing's nose was a little sour, according to the memory of his previous life, the old man would die in four years.

The old man is 66 years old, he was secretly injured during the war years, and he has not recovered. Among the cadres of the same level as him, he is in the worst health.

"Dad, I'll help you!" Lu Jing stepped forward to help the old man.

The old man has been soft on the outside and on the inside all his life, and he doesn't like those stupid children, but he still nods at the closeness of his youngest son.

"Drink with me in a moment. It's been a long time since I've drunk Longyou's old rice wine, and I miss that taste! The old man said to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing's eyes were a little red, he just showed that he had to be a little more sensible, the old man was so happy, he was so sloppy in his previous life, but he didn't know how sad his father was at that time.

"Dad, it's okay if you're happy, you don't have to drink." Lu Jing persuaded. He knew the old man's habits, and to drink was a sign of his great pleasure. The word of the crepe is called, "When the floating is white", in the final analysis, the old man is still a literati in essence. He wants to read his love letters, and he wants to see how his writing is.

Love letters are the best reflection of a person's literary level in a certain chengdù. Don't you see, among the poets of the May Fourth period, which one of them did not write love poems?

The special protector Xiao Tan helped the old man who walked down the stairs. Lu Jing went to pull out the chair. There are already 4 home-cooked dishes on the dining table in the living room, and the aroma is overflowing, which makes Lu Jing's index finger move. He hadn't eaten his mother's food in years.

"Eat!" Ms. Luo came out of the kitchen with a big bowl of soup, and her sister-in-law Hu Ying followed her, "Mom, be careful!" Don't burn. ”

Lu Jing pulled out the Nanmu chair, and the old man sat down and patted the back of his hand with satisfaction. Ms. Luo sat down and said with a smile: "Xiaojing, have you passed the customs?" To please your old man like this, I have never seen you so attentive. ”

Lu Jing scratched his head, not knowing how to answer. He looked at his sister-in-law and nodded at her with a smile, "Sister-in-law! ”

For this beautiful sister-in-law, Lu Jing doesn't know what kind of feelings he has. Greedy for money, showy, and mean, this is almost all Lu Jing's impression of her.

And under her arrogance, some of the things that her niece Lu Qi did were very outrageous. If the old man knows under the spring, he is estimated to be so angry that he can climb out of Babao Mountain.

The sister-in-law pulled out a chair and sat down, nodded with a smile, "Your eldest brother has something to do temporarily." I'm afraid I'm still on the road at this time. ”

"Yes." Lu Jing pondered about getting in touch with his eldest brother, but he was afraid that he would have to wait until tomorrow. The distance from Jingcheng City to Shiqiao Town is not close, and it takes nine hours to get there by car.

When the old man saw that everyone was sitting down, he ordered, "Xiao Tan, go and take out my twenty-year-old bottle of rice wine, be happy today, drink a little." ”

"Wait!" Ms. Luo stretched out her hand to stop Xiao Tan and asked, "Isn't it in the way, Xiao Tan?" Xiao Tan on the side said: "There is no problem within two taels." ”

"Let's have a little drink, then!" Ms. Luo compromised, she could see that Lao Lu was a little happy when he saw his youngest son coming home, and he didn't let him drink, which was a little disappointing his happiness. But he said a little uneasily: "Lao Lu, it's just two or two, don't drink a lot!" ”

"You have to believe in science!" The old man smiled, as if he had won a battle. He doesn't usually have a chance to drink at home.

Ms. Luo said, "Then why don't you go to the hospital for treatment." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows, "I can't believe the foreign devil's set, I still have to believe in Chinese medicine!" The quintessence of the country, the quintessence of the country! For thousands of years, there have always been exceptions. ”

Ms. Luo put down her chopsticks and said angrily: "Strong words!" ”

When the old man saw that his wife was angry, he immediately softened, ate a peanut, and said vaguely: "I will go for an examination in two days, and I will definitely go." Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

Ms. Luo's face got better again.

The old man's marriage is very characteristic of that era, an old husband and a young wife. In front of his affectionate wife, he belongs to the object of discipline, but he is willing to do it.

Lu Jing was anxiously worried about the progress of his eldest brother's affairs, while watching his deceased parents talking and laughing in front of him, and the happiness of losing and regaining made him want to sing happily. The two feelings in his heart are intertwined, which makes him happy for a while and uncomfortable for a while.

The meal was very warm, and the old man made an exception to drink some wine and went to bed early. Ms. Luo and Xiao Tan were busy taking care of him.

The sister-in-law's home is in Zhangsan Hutong in Xiyue District, and Lu Jing sent the sister-in-law out and returned to Villa 5. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed, covered with a white towel quilt, looking at the bright moonlight at the window, and wondering how to make his eldest brother believe his words when he was on the phone tomorrow. Instead of treating him as a child, as the old man did.

He still doesn't know whether the old man believed his words or not, but based on Lu Jing's own speculation, it is more likely that he will not believe it, because in addition to the fact that he joined the army at the age of sixteen, his performance in the previous eighteen years was like an ignorant child.

Impulsive, aggressive, poor academic performance, and non-compliance with school discipline. His title of "Lu Ershao" in the fourth middle school was not obtained out of thin air.

Love to play game consoles, read martial arts novels, sleep lazy, and so on.

In short, big mistakes are not made, and small mistakes are constantly made, which is a headache. It's no wonder that the old man treats him like a little kid.
