That night, Tie Ming had made up for Qin Xin's homework, and it was still early.

The two sat in the study and talked about the newly blooming magnolia flowers in the park, the shops that moved away in the back alleys of the old streets, from Nanjing Road to South Shaanxi Road to Xizang Road to Middle Henan Road to Suzhou Road to the Huangpu River at the end of the road, and counted the changes in the city over the past year.

Tie Ming listened to her chatter with great interest, basket after basket of endless stories, thinking about how she had so much experience at a young age, and how attentively she should have been observing. Qin Xin suddenly sighed and said:

"Man, three years old wants to be thirteen, thirteen wants to be thirty, thirty years old wants to be three years old."

Tie Ming couldn't help but laugh when he heard her sad tone, what does this little girl think! is sad and sad, as if he has lived for most of his life and seen through it.

In fact, after telling what he had seen and heard, he thought of the sudden changes in the morning and dusk, and sighed that there was no fixed number. Flowers bloom and fall, and the world changes. The past cannot be touched, the future cannot be seen, only the present can really surround us.

However, when people are at a certain point, they can't see their own situation, and they think about the past and the future, but they can't think of the present, which is sad!

"Qinxin, what's wrong with you these days? Became a philosopher? ”

"Really? That's what I learned from you, too. ”

Qin Xin stirred the sugar cube in the teacup and answered him without raising his head. Tie Ming was puzzled, leaned forward slightly, and asked her:

"Oh? When did I teach you this? ”

Qin Xin pursed her lips and smiled, put down the teacup, clasped her hands on her chin, met his gaze, carefully examined his eyes, and said quietly:

"It is said that words are better than deeds. Brother Tie Ming, your eyes are like a book, which makes people unable to see through it. ”

The two looked at each other with their knees against their knees. Tie Ming sat up straight, blinked twice, and asked her rhetorically:

"How?"

Qin Xin still observed his eyes, and still said faintly:

"Melancholy, profound...... It's like a philosophy book. ”

"Hehehe-"

Tie Ming smiled again, it turned out that his usual appearance fell into her eyes, melancholy and profound...... Hehehe, it seems that I usually think too much about things, and I can't hide my eyes.

Qin Xinxin is as careful as a hair, it seems that you have to hide your heart in the future!

"Come, Brother Tie Ming, you hug me."

Qin Xin pouted and begged for a hug, opening his arms like a child. Tie Ming was a little strange, and didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to hug. Qin Xin leaned over and gave Tie Ming an affectionate hug.

As her hair gently swept over Tie Ming's ears, the feeling of lightness and dreaminess was intoxicating. Qin Xin let go of his hand, looked at Tie Ming gently, smiled sweetly, and opened his mouth lightly:

"Brother Tie Ming, you have to smile when you're busy, you have to smile when you're tired, you have to smile when you're annoyed, and you have to hug your heart to cure your unhappiness."

Tie Ming lowered his head and sipped her words, smashed the taste, looked up at her, and grinned, this little girl has really become a philosopher. The two gossiped again, and the two cups of milk were at the bottom of the mouthful. Look at the wall clock, it's also ten o'clock, it's time to disperse.

The time spent together is always short, and I hope that the good dreams will last a little longer. Tie Ming picked up Qinxin's coat, hung it on his arm, opened the door for her, draped the yellow tartan coat over her shoulders for her, accompanied her downstairs, and sent her all the way to the villa.

After entering the living room, the two were still unable to say goodbye. Xiao Ju had already prepared the face wash and stood in the living room waiting for the young lady to come back. Tie Ming told her to go to sleep quickly, and she had to get up early to go to school tomorrow.

Qin Xin had no choice but to go upstairs with Xiaoju, walked three steps and turned around, and came to the bedroom door, still lying on the railing to look at him. Tie Ming waved his hand and said, "Good night." Qin Xin replied to him, looked at it twice, and then entered the house.

Tie Ming saw that her figure flashed through the door and disappeared, and he was about to go back. At this time, a maid came over and stopped him, saying that the master had invited Mr. Song to the office to have something to discuss.

Well? Could it be that there is something wrong with the company? It's so late, so urgent.

With a stomach full of doubts, Tie Ming went up to the third floor with the maid. This floor is quiet, and the feet fall silently on the thick printed carpet on a red background.

Long hallway with rooms on either side. The maid led the way, and Tie Ming followed behind her, wondering what was so urgent. When he arrived at the door of Dalin's home office, the maid knocked on it, and after getting a response, she gently opened the door for Tie Ming.

"Mr. Lin, looking for me?"

"Tie Ming, have you done your homework tutoring?"

Dalin beckoned Tie Ming to come in and sit down, and asked the maid to make a pot of new tea. After taking his seat, Da Lin did not speak, only looked at Tie Ming, and did not smoke his old pipe as usual.

Tie Ming was a little strange, Dalin called him here, wasn't it for some urgent matter, why didn't he speak, was it difficult to speak?

"Mr. Lin, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, right?"

Dalin cocked Erlang's legs, held his knees with both hands, and with a wave of his hand, stopped him and said:

"Eh, Tie Ming, don't call me 'Mr. Lin' at home, the company is to be avoided, and now there are no outsiders, call me uncle."

"Yes, uncle."

Why did this Dalin let himself call him "uncle"? What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd, and after sitting here for a while, I don't see him talking about the topic, what are you doing with half hiding?

The maid made new tea, and Dalin invited Tie Ming to take a sip to wake up. Wake up? Wake up to what? Where are you not sober enough? Tie Ming swallowed his teacup and lowered his eyes in thought.

Da Lin took a sip of tea and finally spoke:

"Tie Ming, call me uncle, I am half of your father. You know my heart, and you can talk about it. ”

Dalin slowed down his speech when he said this, and Tie Ming "sighed", what kind of behavior did he have in his eyes that made him as uncomfortable as a gravel? Dalin looked at Tie Ming, fixed his eyes and said:

"The company's new rice price, I haven't asked your opinion, it's not your business, since it's a family, let's talk about it! You talk about your opinions. ”

It turned out that Dalin came to ask himself about the price of rice, and it seems that Qin Xin told him tonight. Dalin was very dissatisfied like this, and even more suspicious that he wanted to put pressure on him through his heart. Indeed, that's what I mean.

Dalin is afraid that he promised his daughter that the price of rice would drop.

Tie Ming smiled quietly, the businessman in front of him was what the woman called "black conscience". You can make money from the casino ballroom and the horse racecourse, but you can also make the money of the poor? Aren't you "blackened conscience"!

"Uncle ......"

"Huh?"

Dalin stared at him intently, and the anger on his face could not be concealed. Tie Ming smiled calmly and said:

"The company has already set the price of rice, and Tie Ming has no objection. We, as sellers, are a kind of price, and how much the buyer can accept cannot be ignored. ”

"You're saying the company isn't thinking it through?"

"Tieming thinks if ......"

Da Lin interrupted Tie Ming without waiting for him to finish, picked up his pipe, waved his hand and puffed out a puff of smoke rings, looking impatient.

Tie Ming knew that he would be like this, some money must be earned, and it is impossible for him to spit out the money he swallows. Hmph, Jin Chengshan, Yin Chengshan, I don't think I can eat enough, and in the end there will be an empty zero, can't you think of it?

Dalin thought that he had done nothing wrong, and the price of rice had risen, and that was because the money was worthless, and the number of coins had become larger, and how much rice could be bought, or how many meters could be bought. It's a fool who doesn't raise the price, the people have more tickets in their hands, if you don't let him spend it on rice, he will spend it elsewhere, can he still earn the money?

The atmosphere in the office was extremely tense, and the two people on the sofa looked at each other, staring at each other, dialing their abacus.

Whoever says a word at this time is like releasing an arrow, and the one who catches the arrow will surely raise a thick shield to block it. No one can persuade anyone, and no one can convince anyone.

"Bang-" The office door was pushed open.

Qin Xin put on her pajamas and strode in, her little round face pouted because she was angry, but it was a little cute. Tie Ming quickly stood up, asked her why she came, she would catch a cold in her pajamas, and helped her straighten her nightcap. Dalin also asked his daughter strangely what she was doing when she didn't sleep.

"Dad, don't blame Brother Tie Ming, it's what I have to say."

"Qinxin, you go to sleep!"

"Dad—"

"Hear me, there's nothing for you here."

Dalin clenched his pipe, and his thumb hurt a little because of the force he exerted. Qin Xin was still reluctant to go, and moved his mouth and wanted to speak. Da Lin looked at her daughter, and then at Tie Ming, and they actually came to scold me, an old man, in a fit of anger. The good daughter I raised, the good son-in-law I chose!

The night was late and cold, and her clothes were thin, and she didn't know how long she had been listening outside the door, and how long the wind had been blowing. Tie Ming was afraid that she would catch a cold after staying for a long time, so he persuaded her to go back, holding her arm, only to find that it was cold, and hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her.

"I'm not leaving, Brother Tie Ming, don't stop me - Dad, the people are really pitiful, you can't afford to buy rice, what are you going to eat? There are so many poor people who are freezing and starving to death on the road, why can't we help them? Father! ”

Dalin didn't speak, smoking his pipe vigorously. Tie Ming was a little incredible, but he didn't expect Qin Xin to be more serious about the price of rice with his father. Loving the people and caring for the people, her heart is full of a sense of justice, this woman is really angry. Tie Ming had a little admiration. This time, I want to see what Dalin says, does he still insist on such a high price of rice? Doesn't he want to maintain a good image in front of his daughter?

The three of them were silent for a while, Qin Xin waited for her father's answer, Tie Ming waited to send Qin Xin back to sleep, Da Lin smoked a few puffs of cigarette before he spoke:

"Qinxin, you persuaded your father to lower the price of rice, so do you know the stakes here? Tie Ming, do you want to explain to Qin Xin. ”

Dalin deliberately kicked this football to Tie Ming, asking him to reflect and see if there was a problem here. As for Tie Ming, he only thought about the problem that the common people couldn't eat, so he wanted to use Qin Xin to force Dalin to reduce the price, so he said:

"Uncle, Tie Ming also thinks that the price should be reduced."

"Huh!"
