While we were talking, a servant woman came in and said, "Miss, the old lady has heard that the lady is entertaining distinguished guests, and she has come to have a look." ”

Tan Qinrou shouted: "My mother is not in good health, don't you know!" Why don't you stop her! ”

The servant replied, "The old lady's temper is exactly the same as that of the young lady, what can we ......stop?"

While talking, two little girls walked in with an old woman in their arms, the old woman is actually only less than sixty years old, but it may be a long-term illness and torture, and her appearance looks much older than her actual age, especially the legs and feet are obviously very inconvenient, even if there are two people supporting her, she can only move step by step.

Tan Qinrou greeted her: "Mother, what are you doing here, across the three-story courtyard, how did you know about this matter so quickly, what kind of mouthy nonsense!" ”

The old woman was helped to the Taishi chair, took a breath, and said, "Don't blame them, they have never seen you receive any guests, and when they see such a strange thing today, they naturally want to tell me, and I am also curious to come and see what kind of person can make my Qinrou behave in such an abnormal way!" ”

Tan Qinrou's face was a little crimson, and she stomped her feet: "Mother, you come to make fun of me too!" ”

The old woman smiled and said to me, "This sir, presumably this is today's distinguished guest, right?" I am the mistress of this courtyard, alas, in fact, I am only a cripple, and if it were not for the arrival of distinguished guests today, I would not have been to the front yard for more than a year. ”

I hurriedly gave a deep salute: "It turned out to be Mrs. Tan, who is in Ansihu, and greets Mrs. Tan." ”

An Xixin said in the same way: "Xin'er asks grandma for peace." ”

Old Madam Tan's face was full of joy: "Whose child is this?" Such a young child is so clear and exquisite, and when he grows up, he will pay it back."

I laughed and said, "Back to Mrs. Tan, this child is my son, named An Xixin. ”

Old Madam Tan was stunned when she heard this, and turned her face to look at Tan Qinrou, Tan Qinrou knew her mother's thoughts, and explained in a somewhat abrupt voice like a mosquito ant: "Mother, don't misunderstand, Xin'er is just the righteous son of Camp Commander An......"

Old Madam Tan suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, so that's the case, this is the best, so I can rest assured." ”

Then Mrs. Tan nodded again and repeated my name: "An Sihu...... I know you, you are the son of the master of Bei'an who our lord mentioned a while ago, right? ”

This kind of inquiry made me very embarrassed, Tan Qinrou's face turned even redder, and she pouted: "Oh, mother!" Why are you mentioning this, Camp Commander An is here to visit my father today! What are you talking about? ”

Old Madam Tan waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't mention it, just don't mention it." ”

Someone outside said: "Old lady, miss, the master is back!" ”

Tan Qinrou hurriedly greeted Tan Zhenshan in the concierge, she whispered in Tan Zhenshan's ear, Tan Zhenshan smiled noncommittally, and followed Tan Qinrou into the living room.

He looked at Mrs. Tan first: "Your health is not good, just say that you can stay in the back house, I am afraid that such fatigue is not conducive to recovery." ”

Old Madam Tan smiled: "It's okay, no matter how bad my body is, how bad can it be?" Besides, how can I, as a mother, not care about Qinrou's affairs. ”

I bowed and saluted: "Mr. Tan, thank you very much for taking care of your father for many days, Sihu specially came over today to express my feelings to Mr. Tan!" ”

Tan Zhenshan shook his head: "If you say anything to thank you, that's an outsider, your father and I are friends who know each other late, and this kind of ordinary visit between friends is nothing!" ”

Tan Zhenshan looked at Tan Qinrou again and said, "Besides, I also heard Qinrou say that if the student parade that day, if it wasn't for the battalion commander sacrificing his life to save him, I'm afraid that even ten Qinrou wouldn't be able to escape the devil's bomb!" If we want to say thank you, we should thank Camp Commander An. ”

Mrs. Tan sat for so long, she already felt a little exhausted, and she talked to me for a while before going back to the back house in a sedan chair. When Tan Zhenshan was talking to me, he turned down two visiting guests, which shows how much attention he attaches to my visit.

I was very uneasy about the importance of the Tan family, because it made me think about other things, and I didn't know how to deal with it, so I got up and prepared to leave. Tan Zhenshan stopped me: "Camp Commander An is busy with military affairs, and I Tan can't invite a distinguished guest, but fortunately, today is a rare opportunity to let us talk about our hearts." I've asked someone to call the chef of Deyue Lou over, let's have an ordinary home-cooked meal at my house today! ”

A home-cooked meal and calling the chef of Deyue House over? I was really flattered, and I shirked again and again, and in the end, Miss Tan was impatient: "Why are you a big man so unhappy!" As the saying goes, what comes is safe! Eat a meal at our house, and as for scaring you like this? ”

Tan Zhenshan also persuaded: "Camp Chief An really doesn't have to be polite, could it be that the life of the little girl Qinrou is not worth a mere meal?" ”

The father and daughter are both soft and hard, and I can't excuse myself too much, so I have to stay and eat this "commonplace" meal of the Tan family!

I sat in the living room drinking high-quality Pu'er tea, eating exquisite dim sum, Tan Qinrou teasing An Xixin beside me, Tan Zhenshan talked with me about Beiping and Linmeng, and occasionally talked about the country and the world.

Through the window, I saw more than a dozen people with kitchen utensils coming in through the door, and then quickly got busy in the kitchen of the Tan family, and began to prepare the "homely meal" of this meal.

At this point, even An Xixin can see that the Tan family is preparing to entertain me. I am not afraid of others to entertain me, how can anyone be afraid of others' hospitality? I'm just afraid that this kind of hospitality is for, is it really only for me to save Tan Qinrou once?

In my uneasy speculation, the wine and food were put on the table one after another, and we were three adults and one child, but a full eighteen dishes were served, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas, birds and animals, as long as they were the precious dishes of Linmeng, they were basically put on the table. They even took great pains to prepare a belly burst for me, a native of Beiping, although the taste actually deviated from the authentic flavor of Beiping, which was really touching.

Tan Zhenshan picked up his wine glass and said, "Camp Chief An, although Tan has prepared these thin wines today, it is really difficult for our Tan family to express their gratitude to Camp Chief An!" Tan drank this cup first, Camp Chief, please feel free. ”

Tan Zhenshan raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, if he did it, if I was casual but I couldn't say anything, I could only drink it all in one go. The wine is a fine bamboo-leaf green, spicy but sweet, and even I, a person who doesn't drink often, can taste the beauty of this wine.

Tan Qinrou also stood up, holding a cup of tea, and said, "Camp Chief, I won't say much about polite words, I don't know how to drink, I can only replace wine with tea!" ”

I drank the second glass of wine with Tan Qinrou's cup of tea, and I, who was not good at drinking, was already a little dizzy and slightly drunk after drinking two glasses of spirits.
