Huang Wenlie's suggestion was rejected by Shangfeng, not only dismissed, I see that Huang Wenlie's face should have been reprimanded by the chief, of course, in my opinion, this is the most reasonable result, if I were his commander, I would also scold him for his whimsical daydreaming.

When it was time to pay the army again, I took my money and went to my father's house, which became my homework every month. Fate is a wonderful thing, and I once swore to heaven that I would never have anything to do with my father again, but now I will run to his house and give my filial piety with great respect. Therefore, there are many things that should not be concluded prematurely, there is nothing in this world that cannot be compromised, and nothing cannot be changed.

Far away from the gate, I heard my father's cheerful laughter in the courtyard, and I remember that my father laughed so heartily for a long time. Under the straight pine tree in the yard, the child my father had adopted was running in circles around the pine tree. It seems that it is always easier for a child to forget, no matter how painful and painful it is.

I walked into the courtyard, stood in the middle of the patio, and said, "Daddy, I'm back." ”

Since I broke with him unilaterally, I haven't called him dad for many years, and even after he came to Linmeng, I didn't say the name given to him by blood, but today I can naturally call out, and there is no discomfort in the slightest.

But because I hadn't said it for so long, I was still startled by my father's words, so I stood there somewhat crampedly waiting for my father's reaction. My father paused for a few seconds with his back to me, and then slowly turned around, but his face was not recognizable, and he nodded as usual and said, "Well, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." Come over and see who's back? ”

The latter sentence of his words was addressed to the child, who timidly came over and leaned on my father's side: "Grandpa, who is this uncle?"

My father smiled and said, "Xin'er, you can't call him uncle, you have to call him father!" ”

I was even more surprised than the child: "I'm not married yet, isn't it ridiculous that you should get me a son first?" ”

My father had a straight face: "The woman took the initiative to propose marriage, and she was the right person, you can find a thousand reasons to shirk it!" I'll find you a righteous son and continue the incense of my home, what's so ridiculous! ”

He urged the boy and said, "Xin'er, don't kneel down and say hello to your father." You call me grandpa, and he is naturally your father. ”

The child was educated by my father for more than a month, but he knew the rules very well, knelt in front of me and kowtowed, and said in a milky voice: "Dad, my heart is sorry for you." ”

My father smiled and said, "See, this child should be the child of our family, and I didn't bother to teach it, so naturally he knows how to count etiquette than ordinary children." ”

I followed my father into the drawing-room, and when the servant had brought the refreshments and retreated, I took out my money and put it on the coffee table, and said, "This is for you this month." ”

My father glanced at it and said, "During this period of time, you don't come back often, but Tan Gong and Miss Tan often come to visit me, if you have time, you should go to visit the Tan family, so as not to lose our courtesy." ”

When I came out of my father's house, I asked my "son" who was following me, "What's your name?" ”

The child said, "My name is Ann Xixin." ”

I smiled in my heart, washing my heart, my father and his old man wanted to change his heart, but he pressed this meaning on a child's name, I really don't know what he wants to wash his heart and what it has to do with a child.

Behind him, my father stood outside the living room with his pair on his back and said, "When you go to Tan's house, you can take Xin'er with you by the way, so as to increase the relationship between your father and son, so as not to feel rusty after a long time." ”

I didn't want to go to Tan's house to do anything to pay a return gift, so I had to go to make such an arrangement.

The Tan family is not far from my father's house, this is the area where the rich people gather in Linmeng, the Tan family's house is built in imitation of the house pattern of the big families in Beiping, the only difference is that the last row of the back house, is quite Linmeng local style, the kind of two-story row with an outer staircase.

In front of the door are two lifelike stone lions, a male and a female are separated left and right, the vermilion lacquer gate with copper nails arranged in order, there are more than a dozen rows of guns and firearms on the gatehouse, and several fierce guards are patrolling back and forth on it.

In such a formation, not to mention ordinary thieves, even bandits in groups, they must also weigh their own means. I was about to climb the steps to buckle the knocker, the door was opened from the inside, and Miss Tan Qinrou Tan led the horse and was about to go out.

Seeing me appear at the door of her house, Tan Qinrou was stunned for a moment: "Why are you ......?"

I said, "I'm here to visit Mr. Tan, I don't know if it's convenient." ”

Tan Qinrou shook her head and said, "It's inconvenient to ......"

Seeing that I was stunned, she quickly explained: "I mean, my father went out early in the morning...... But you can wait for him for a while, and by this time, he should be back. ”

Tan Qinrou let go of her body and made a gesture of inviting in, so I had to take An Xixin and walk into the door. Tan Qinrou then led the horse and turned back, and a steward guarding the door was a little puzzled: "Miss, you just said that you were going out to ride a horse, how can you ...... Isn't this going? ”

Tan Qinrou said loudly: "Didn't you see a guest at home?" What are you still doing? Take my horse back! ”

A few subordinates stood on the brick-paved road and bowed and saluted, and a huge black dog tied under the flower tree barked non-stop, after all, he was young, and his face turned pale with fright by the barking of the big dog, and his little hand grabbed my trouser tube tightly.

Tan Qinrou saw that the child was scared, and immediately ordered: "It's not good to lock up the black tiger first and frighten the little master of the An family...... Xin'er, don't be afraid, the black tiger doesn't recognize you, it's good if you come a few more times in the future and it will recognize you. ”

An Xixin and Tan Qinrou are obviously more familiar than me, he stretched out his hand to pull Tan Qinrou's hand, he pulled my trouser tube with one hand, and Tan Qinrou's hand with the other, we walked on the stone road of the Tan family like this, it was like a harmonious and loving family of three.

The living room of the Tan family is very spacious, and there is a side hall on the other side of the living room, and we were led to the main living room by Tan Qinrou. Entering the living room, the eyes are full of antique and precious mahogany tables and chairs, and the hollow Bogu shelf is long, on which are placed all kinds of antique jade. There are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the most eye-catching of which is a "Tang Eighteen Bachelors" by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, although I can't see the authenticity, but with Tan Zhenshan's fame, it should not be enough to hang a fake in his living room.

Tan Qinrou saw me staring at this painting, so she smiled and said, "This is what my father bought in exchange for a house in Kunming, and I don't know if it's worth so much money." ”

I said: "In the troubled times, the price of these antiques, calligraphy and paintings is very low, but it is the most suitable opportunity to buy a treasure, and when this battle is over, these things will appreciate ten times and a hundred times." ”

Tan Qinrou said: "My father said the same thing...... It's just that when will this battle be fought? ”
