The last time Duan Zetao and Li Mei got married, Li Zehai and Zhu Feiyang both came to give heavy gifts, and even the vice premier sent Wang Xianguo to make a special trip to congratulate him, so that the Xiao family was impressed by Duan Zetao, and later Duan Zetao took out another 100 million yuan, so that Xiao Zhiwu, Chen Xianzhi and other third generations of the Xiao family started a real estate company together, with the hot real estate market in Beijing, the third generation of the Xiao family has made a lot of money, and naturally misses Duan Zetao's good.

And Xiao Min and other second-generation generations of the Xiao family see that the juniors now have careers and are no longer idle and idle, and their impression of Duan Zetao has naturally improved greatly, and as Duan Zetao climbs in his career, they have slowly acquiesced to the identity of Duan Zetao, the future successor of the Xiao family.

When Xiao Min saw Duan Zetao coming, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted warmly: "Xiao Tao is here, ......." Duan Zetao called his sister-in-law and asked, "Is grandpa okay?" Is he at home?! ……”。

At the mention of Old Man Xiao, Xiao Min's face turned gloomy again, and he said in a low voice: "The old man's health has not been very good since the New Year, he always coughs, and he fainted once a month earlier, and he went to 301 Hospital for examination, saying that it is 'Parkinson's disease', but the old man is unwilling to be hospitalized, and he is clamoring to be discharged after half a month, and we can only take him back to recuperate......

Duan Zetao's head buzzed suddenly, thanks to his early career as a horseman, Old Man Xiao's body has always been very tough, so much so that he almost forgot that Old Man Xiao is already over ninety years old, and he often forgets to visit Old Man Xiao when he is busy with work on weekdays, and now when he hears that his grandfather is sick, he feels guilty and sad in his heart, and hurriedly says: "Grandpa is sick, why don't you notify me?!" Does it matter?! ……”。

Xiao Min sighed and said: "It's not that you don't know the old man's temper, he said that you are busy with work and can't affect you, so he won't let us inform you, but fortunately, the condition is quite stable, the doctor said that as long as he is well conditioned, don't let him get emotional, although it is difficult to recover, but it can still be done to prolong the life of the old man......."

Hearing that his grandfather's condition was not too serious, Duan Zetao's mood was a little better, and he took three steps and two steps to come to Old Man Xiao's bedroom, just as Old Man Xiao's full-time health doctor Xie Simiao came out of Old Man Xiao's bedroom lightly, Duan Zetao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xie Simiao's hand tightly and whispered: "Doctor Xie, how is my grandfather's illness?!" Does it matter?! ……”。

Xie Simiao said in a low voice: "The chief has just finished taking medicine and rested, judging from the current situation, his condition is quite stable, the main thing is to recuperate quietly, and not let him get ......emotional."

At this time, I heard Old Man Xiao's deep voice from the bedroom, "Is Xiao Tao back, let him come in!" ......", obviously Old Man Xiao had already heard Duan Zetao's voice.

Xie Simiao shrugged his shoulders and whispered to Duan Zetao: "The chief is still so deaf and clear-sighted, you can go in, but pay attention not to take too long, the chief's spirit is not as good as before......."

Duan Zetao pushed open the door with guilt, and saw Old Man Xiao leaning on the head of the bed and looking at himself with a smile, his face that was red in the past was a little dark, and his cheeks were sunken...... Are your bones better?! ……”。

Old Man Xiao patted the back of Duan Zetao's hand kindly and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, what are you doing, get up and talk quickly, grandpa can live to this age, it's enough, compared to those comrades who died in the war, I am already living secretly, what ...... I am not satisfied with."

Duan Zetao hurriedly said: "Grandpa, don't say that, you will definitely live a long life, no, it is longer than Nanshan!" ……”。

Old Man Xiao laughed, "Xiao Tao, don't make me happy, birth, old age, sickness and death, that is the law of nature, no one can resist it, if you really want to live so long, it's not an old monster!" It's also time to go to see Marx, back then the devil left dozens of bullet holes on my body, and it didn't kill me, this 'Parkinson's disease' is worse than the devil's bullet, I can't resist it, my old comrades-in-arms are waiting for me below, I won't be alone if I go......

Duan Zetao was about to speak anxiously, but was stopped by Old Man Xiao with a gesture, he stretched out two fingers and gestured towards Duan Zetao, "Xiao Tao, do you bring a cigarette, they don't let me smoke these days, they don't let me drink, it's worse than death......."

Duan Zetao shook his head again and again and said: "I didn't bring a cigarette, grandpa, you have to take care of your body, the doctor is the greatest, you have to listen to the doctor's ......."

Old Man Xiao said: "My own body bones, don't I know myself?!" Those doctors like to make a big fuss, and even you don't listen to me! ……”。

Seeing that Duan Zetao was unmoved, Old Man Xiao smiled like an old naughty boy and said, "One, just one!" Grandpa is dying, and your wish is not ......."

Duan Zetao's heart softened, so he had to take out a special offering for China from his pocket, lit it and handed it to Old Man Xiao, "Then say it, just one!" You can't cheat! Don't look back and hide and smoke ......".

Old Man Xiao took the cigarette, took a puff beautifully, spit out a smoke ring and sighed: "It's still the dry tobacco leaves in the past, but when there was a war in the past, how could there be this cigarette smoked, they were all dry tobacco leaves...... You don't know that Dr. Xie is a dog, no matter where I hide my cigarettes, he can always find them, but he can suffocate me......."

Duan Zetao listened to Old Man Xiao's babbling words, tears came out again, he wanted to always be by his grandfather's side, and listen to his grandfather tell him the story of the war, suddenly Old Man Xiao put away his smile and said solemnly: "Xiao Tao, you are now the mayor of the provincial capital, and you can be regarded as half a foot into the threshold of the provincial and ministerial level, and grandpa can walk with peace of mind......."

Speaking of this, Old Man Xiao choked on the cigarette and coughed violently, Duan Zetao quickly snatched the cigarette in his hand and threw it on the ground and stepped on it, and his other hand quickly stroked up and down Old Man Xiao's back to help him calm down, and his voice choked up: "Grandpa, don't say it anymore, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, don't think ......about anything else."

Old Man Xiao passed his breath, shook his head stubbornly and said: "No, I want to say, I won't have a chance to say it after I don't say it, I offended a lot of people when I was in power, as long as I don't die for a day, I can protect the Xiao family, and those people don't dare to have any ideas, but as soon as I leave, it is estimated that some people will not be able to sit still, your uncles and aunts are not successful, only you are the most promising in the third generation, and the burden of the Xiao family will be on your shoulders in the future, you promise me, no matter what, you can't let the Xiao family have no good results!" ……”。
