Duan Zetao followed Old Man Xiao into the study with anxiety, Old Man Xiao sat on the rosewood sofa, and did not ask Duan Zetao to sit, squinting at him, as if he wanted to see through his secrets, and Duan Zetao became more and more uncomfortable.

Old man Xiao seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't think too far ahead, it's not that I deliberately sent someone to spy on you, it's a coincidence, there are often important people in the first city, we have a point there, and the person in charge of it is my old subordinate, I specially instructed him about your affairs, and this matter involves a * son, they reported to me, I think that although you are young, you are usually quite stable, if you don't have a deep grudge, you shouldn't fight this kind of childish anger, That's why I asked ......".

Duan Zetao felt the strong love of the elders of Old Man Xiao, and his heart was warm, and the unhappiness in his heart before disappeared, so he no longer concealed it, and nodded resolutely and said: "Grandpa, you guessed well, I do have a grudge with Jiang Zilong, but I will never involve the Xiao family in the ......", Duan Zetao clenched his fists, showing his determination to fight Jiang Zilong to the end regardless of the consequences.

Old Man Xiao frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "I also know something about what Jiang Zilong did, there is indeed something wrong, originally between you juniors, our elders should not be involved, but if you break the bones and tendons, how can this bloodline and family relationship be broken by saying that it can be broken." ”。

"The one of the Jiang family is hopeful to take over as the next No. 1 leader, but the opinions above are not very unanimous, and there are still certain variables in this. At this juncture, the Jiang family will not want to make extraneous branches, the national leaders are in charge of every opportunity, and there are also people who are usually negligent in disciplining the juniors, but I believe that they can still grasp the major issues of right and wrong. ”

"So you just teach that Jiang Zilong a lesson, you don't have to make you die, of course, if that Jiang Zilong uses his relationship to deal with you, our old Xiao family is not a soft persimmon, let people pinch it casually! If I really want to move you, I will definitely make him pay a heavy price! ......", speaking of this, the old man suddenly burst out with a momentum of thousands of troops, as if he had returned to the war years when he led the troops to charge against the rain of bullets.

Duan Zetao was so excited that he burst into tears, knowing that his actions might bring ruin to the Xiao family, Old Man Xiao still stood on his side without hesitation, there was not only flesh and blood affection, but also the defense of justice, he doubted for the first time whether it was wise for him to fight Jiang Zilong to the death for the grudge of his previous life, after all, he still had so many relatives to protect in this world, and he would be involved in this struggle that may never be recovered. But no matter what, putting aside the grudges in his previous life, Jiang Zilong should pay a price for what he did, at least to make him lose the ability to continue to be evil.

Old Man Xiao saw that Duan Zetao was touched and that the purpose of his conversation had been achieved, so he stood up, patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and said: "Okay, let's talk about this later, take a step at a time, I have already found someone to deliver the message to the Li family, you can come with me to visit the door in the afternoon, and the marriage between you and the granddaughter of the Li family should also be finalized!" ……”。

Although Mr. Li and Mr. Xiao were both founding fathers, during the War of Liberation, one of the two was in Huaye and the other was in Zhongye, although they were not opposed, but there was a certain competitive relationship, and Mr. Li and Mr. Xiao had a hot temper when they were young, so the relationship between the two has always been more delicate and there are not many contacts, but now with the relationship between Duan Zetao and Li Mei, it is equivalent to giving the Xiao family and the Li family an opportunity to improve their relationship and enhance their relationship.

And such a meeting can only be carried out quietly, otherwise the meeting of the two founding fathers is enough to cause too many associations and speculations from the government and the opposition, Old Man Li has already learned that Old Man Xiao is going to bring Duan Zetao to pay a visit, and he has been waiting in the courtyard early, and when he saw Old Man Xiao come in, he stood up from his chair, his lips trembled, and his expression was a little excited.

Old Man Xiao was also in a mood when he saw Old Man Li, and strode forward, two pairs of big hands clasped tightly together, and Duan Zetao on the side hurriedly took out his camera to record this historic moment.

"Old Xiao, your body is quite tough, you deserve to be the 'Xiao Tiger' who shocked North China back then!"

"Alas, no, you're old, Lao Li, your appearance hasn't changed at all, the last time we met was at a joint meeting of the Military Commission, it's been almost ten years!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, talked about the past and sighed, the two came to the living room hand in hand and sat down, the entourage knew that the two chiefs had something important to discuss, poured tea and closed the door and retreated.

Old Man Li looked at Duan Zetao and sighed: "I really can't imagine that Xiao Tao is actually your old Xiao's own grandson!" In fact, I should have guessed that Xiao Tao is indeed quite similar to Lao Xiao in some places, you are blessed, the Xiao family has produced a thousand-mile horse, and it is expected to prosper in the future! ”。

Old man Li's mood is very complicated now, if Duan Zetao is just the son of an ordinary family, he is ready to let Duan Zetao be the grandson-in-law of the door, so as to provoke the pillar of the Li family, but now the plan has to be changed, since Duan Zetao is Xiao Ming's own grandson, it is impossible to come to the Li family to be the grandson-in-law again, and it is not appropriate to let Duan Zetao be the successor of the Li family, and the Li family will become a vassal of the Xiao family.

Old Man Xiao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Lao Li, young people nowadays can't boast about it, as soon as they boast their tails, they will rise to the sky, and now our family Xiao Tao has fallen in love with your Li family's golden phoenix, and our two families are married, isn't Xiao Tao equal to half of your Li family's grandson?" Xiao Ming naturally understood Old Man Li's thoughts, and simply explained the intention, meaning that Duan Zetao would not only care about the Xiao family and ignore the Li family, the two families were completely identical in terms of interests, and they could form an alliance.

Old man Li is still very appreciative and optimistic about Duan Zetao, and now although Duan Zetao can't be his grandson-in-law, he can retreat to the next best thing, and form an alliance with the Xiao family through the marriage of Li Mei and Duan Zetao, so as to achieve a win-win situation, he is also acceptable.

The talks between the two were very harmonious, and the atmosphere was also very friendly, and finally finalized the marriage of Li Mei and Duan Zetao, and agreed that when Duan Zetao graduated from the Central Party School and went out to become mayor, Duan Zetao and Li Mei would officially get married.

Talking about business, the two old men were very interested, and talked about the past events of those war years, and now the question came, the two talked about who contributed more to Huaye and Nakano in the Huaihai Campaign, and finally slapped the table, staring at each other, and no one let anyone.

Duan Zetao saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Two grandfathers, if you want me to say that Huaye and Zhongye have made great contributions, and the Liberation War is not so easy to win without one of them, let's talk about this topic next time, you used to do it with real guns on the battlefield, and now it is an era of peace, why don't you come and play chess, the chessboard is high!" ”。

Only then did Old Man Xiao remember that he was not here to quarrel today, but to marry, so he hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said, "It's good to play chess!" Good at chess! I haven't played chess for a long time, and I just learned Lao Li's tricks! So Duan Zetao hurriedly looked for chess, laid out the chessboard, set up the chess pieces, and then stood quietly to the side and watched.

But the problem soon came again, Old Man Xiao and Old Man Li are both stinky chess baskets, the chess style is not good, the old love of regretting chess, after a while, they fought again, blowing their beards and glaring, and they had to pull Duan Zetao as a judge, Duan Zetao had no choice but to step forward to support the move, but he was not happy to help this and that, and in the end it simply became Duan Zetao playing chess with himself, that tired, Duan Zetao hated to slap himself twice, what a bad idea is this, isn't this looking for trouble for himself? racked their brains and finally let the two play a draw, and they were finally happy, but Duan Zetao was tired and sweaty.

After going back, Duan Zetao hurriedly called Li Mei and told her about the marriage, Li Mei was overjoyed, she and Duan Zetao had been in love for many years, and now it can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, but I was a little worried that Jiang Xiaoxue would not be able to explain, Li Mei said this, Duan Zetao remembered that his mother Zhang Guihua had not passed the pass.

called Jiang Xiaoxue again with anxiety, especially when Old Man Xiao was going to get a few of them abroad, and then help Duan Zetao get a new identity abroad, marry them abroad, and also make arrangements to give them a name.

Jiang Xiaoxue behaved very generously on the phone, but comforted Duan Zetao and said, "Isn't it just a piece of paper?" As long as we truly love each other, what does it matter if we have that piece of paper or not, grandpa's arrangement is very good, Sister Mei is the most suitable to be your public partner, how much she has suffered for you! Leave it to me on your mother's side, and I'll explain ...... to her."

Duan Zetao was moved to tears, and said guiltily: "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry for you, I can't pay you off in this life, if there is an afterlife, I still want you to be my woman......."

"Alas, when did you become so numb, I won't tell you, I have a lot of things to do here......", Jiang Xiaoxue hung up the phone, and two lines of tears slipped down her fair face, who doesn't want to walk into the marriage hall with her lover openly, and who wants to share her lover with others, but Duan Zetao has already died for her once, how can she bear to embarrass him again?!

(PS: Dear, I'm sorry for you, I'm going to be a shameful change again, I just received a call again, my brother is going to have surgery, I want to rush back to Changsha tomorrow, it's really a disaster, this month is simply my disaster day, I can only try to ensure that I keep changing, to code words in the ward, if there is really something at home, who will talk about the family, I hope you understand.) ）
