Chapter 1763: Family Banquet
The lazy Mei Ting raised her head from Tang Qiuli's arms, looked at her husband with her eyes like spring water, stretched her graceful waist, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”
Tang Qiuli said in a somewhat sad tone: "Sister Ting, I have suffered you for the past two years, and I am alone with Jia Lin in Dingbian, this time I will go to the Northeast, you will follow me." ”
Mei Ting's eyes lit up, then dimmed, and murmured: "Qiuli, I want to be by your side all the time, but Jia Lin is still too young and needs me to take care of her, and she can't let her daughter follow us around, with Xiaoxue by your side, after a while, isn't there still Xinlan, with the two of them, I don't worry!" ”
The child is a problem that cannot be bypassed, and if it persists, it will make Mei Ting embarrassed, Tang Qiuli sighed deeply in his heart, only to turn the guilt and love in his heart into more fiery actions, this night of resistance to death, both of them will accumulate nearly two years of thoughts, put into each other's caresses, until the sky is light, then hug each other, and fall asleep.
When Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting woke up, it was already three poles in the morning, and no one disturbed the reunion of the two of them, Mei Ting hurriedly got out of bed, and while busy grooming, she complained sweetly: "It's all you, this time you can make Xiaoxue laugh, and I don't know if Jialin's little girl made trouble last night!" ”
Tang Qiuli stretched out comfortably, while looking at Mei Ting's plump body, dangling in front of him, he said lazily: "Our daughter is a very interesting little person, knowing that her father and mother have something important to do, she will definitely not come to ruin the fun!" By the way, Sister Ting, the little girl didn't care about me calling Dad! ”
Mei Ting laughed and said, "You are to blame, you will recognize you if you leave the child in Dingbian for two years!" ”
The two laughed. Holding hands and walking out of the bedroom, when I arrived in the living room, I saw Mei Xue holding Jia Lin, looking at the two of them with a smile, Mei Ting's face turned red, fortunately at this time, Jia Lin stretched out her little arm and shouted in a milky voice: "Mom hug!" ”
Tang Qiuli looked at the time, it was almost noon, and he waved his hand. said very imposingly: "Two wives, take the little girl, let's kill my father-in-law's house, and eat there for today's lunch!" ”
Mei Xue took over the conversation. said: "You still need to say that Dad has called three times." If you don't go. People came to the door, I was very strange, listening to my father's tone, seeing that your aunt's mood was more than our two biological daughters, and I don't know how you fooled the old man! ”
Tang Qiuli pretended to be chic and flicked his hair. said with emotion: "Xue, you don't understand, this is where the charm lies, and I can't help it!" ”
Mei Ting and Mei Xue. Scraping their noses together, Xiao Jialin's black eyes, looking at the movements of the three adults, amused the joy of "giggling", Tang Qiuli stretched out his hand and said as if flattering: "Good daughter, Dad hurt your mother last night, come, let Dad hug you!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp pain in his waist, it turned out that Mei Ting was gritting her teeth and pinching him, and Jia Lin didn't give him face, her little head shrank, and she hid in Mei Ting's arms, Tang Qiuli sighed secretly: "My father, I still lack charm, failure, absolute failure!" ”
At this time, the special guard had already prepared the car, and the family got into the car and headed towards the father-in-law's house under the protection of several police cars of the secret service.
At this time, the Mei Mansion, all the qiē, have been prepared, a table of authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes, placed in the restaurant, Mei's mother sat quietly on the chair, but it was the old man Mei, anxiously pacing back and forth, looking at the watch from time to time, and instructed the servant: "Go and make a phone call again, ask the Tang Mansion, has my uncle come out?" ”
The old lady hurriedly stopped and said: "After a while, you made three calls, Qiuli just came back, can you talk to Ting'er for a while, you are urging over and over again, I am upset when I look at it, sit down and wait, at this time, maybe it is on the way!" ”
As the old couple was talking, the sound of a car came from the door, and Old Man Mei jumped up and shouted, "It's here!" As she spoke, she hurried out the door, and the old lady couldn't sit still, so she hurriedly followed out.
Tang Qiuli saw his father-in-law who came with a walk, he hadn't seen him for nearly two years, and the gray hair on the old man's head had a little more, but fortunately, his body was still healthy, and before anyone arrived, the hearty laughter came first, "Hahaha!" Well, it is worthy of my Mei family's uncle, since the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there is that person who has established such a great cause and raised the prestige of our country! ”
Tang Qiuli bowed deeply respectfully, "Good father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Qiu Li is away all the year round, and he can't serve by the side of the second elder, so it's quite embarrassing to think about it! ”
Old Man Mei waved his hand, as if to refute and said: "Hey, a good man is ambitious in all directions, when he makes contributions, how can he stick to worldly etiquette, come, come into the house, today at noon, let's have a few drinks!" ”
Mei Xue beside her, but she had already thrown into her mother's arms, even crying and laughing, she didn't know what to say, Mei Mu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and seemed to say to herself: "It's just Meiling, if he comes back, our family will be reunited!" ”
Everyone laughed and walked into the restaurant, this is another family banquet of different styles, last night, Tang Qiuli talked with his father, all about crops, farming and other topics, and today, with his father-in-law, it is about national affairs, the world pattern, and the war in the Southwest Pacific.
Old man Mei drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said with emotion: "Although I am in Dingbian, Dingbian is also located in the northwest corner, but the news is not closed, okay, Qiuli, lead my Chinese iron-blooded man, kill out of the country, bloody battle Indochina Peninsula, chase away the Japanese Koukou, a war to determine the Indian continent, throughout the ages, the territory is more than this, in the past hundred years, the country is weak and the people are poor, the current situation is turbulent, and China is poor and weak, you can sweep away China's century-old decadence, which can be called unprecedented!" ”
Tang Qiuli smiled gently and replied: "My father-in-law has an overreputation, Qiuli led the army to build this small achievement, I don't deserve such praise from my father-in-law!" ”
Old Man Mei stroked his white beard under his chin, drank the wine in the cup again, waved his hand and said: "Qiu Li, my father never praises someone lightly, you deserve it, since the Xinhai Revolution, I have followed the former Prime Minister Mr. Zhongshan, with a passion for serving the country, and I have the heart to change the status quo of my China being bullied by foreign powers for a hundred years, and I have struggled for more than 20 years, but I have found that I am getting farther and farther away from my ideal!" ”
"The Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown, but China became a situation of warlord melee, disheartened, retreated to Moling's hometown and retreated, no longer asked about the world, but also ended up with a clean ear, out of sight and out of mind, for the rest of his life, to be a cold-eyed bystander, and even the invasion of the Japanese invaders, every time I sigh, the roots of China, I am afraid of being cut off by the hands of the Japanese invaders, I can't wait to put on the military uniform again, gather the old department, and then go to the battlefield, helplessly, to hang the old age, no longer the courage of the year,"
"As a soldier, seeing the invasion of the Japanese invaders, but unable to kill the enemy, that kind of torture, can make people give up their lives, God has mercy, Ting'er met you, several battles down, all the Japanese invaders outside the country, I see hope, it turns out, my vision will not be wrong, every time you express Xiàn, it is a surprise for my father, from you, I see my hope many years ago!"
"Since you have chosen this path, you must unswervingly go on, Qiuli, as long as your purpose is for the rise of the Chinese nation, with this country and nation in your heart, no matter what means, it is necessary to achieve the goal.
When the old man talked about the excitement, he drank a few glasses in a row, talked about the past and the present, and all the topics revolved around the emperors of the past and present, the historical facts of great achievements and territorial expansion, and the glory of the Chinese nation again and again.
Tang Qiuli just listened quietly, he knew that the old man in his current situation was undoubtedly a wise man, able to perceive the world, and had a compassionate heart.
Sure enough, after the family banquet was over, the old man pulled Tang Qiuli into the study, and after the maid made tea, the old man waved him out, and ordered: "Without my permission, no one is allowed to step into the study for half a step!" ”
Just after giving the order, Mei Xue opened the door of the study, poked her head in, and said with a smile: "Dad, I want to talk to you for a while!" ”
Unexpectedly, Old Man Mei had a blank face and said: "Qiu Li and I have something important to discuss, you go and talk to your mother first, if you have anything to say, we will talk about it in the evening, remember, don't disturb the two of us!" ”
Mei Xue stuck out her tongue and hurriedly exited the study, and before leaving, she didn't forget to glare at Tang Qiuli as if threatening.
Tang Qiuli could only smile bitterly, Mei Xue had not seen her father for nearly two years, how much to say, the old man was good, he left his daughter aside, but he pulled himself, hid in the study, and started a long conversation.
The old man took a sip of tea, looked at Tang Qiuli with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Qiuli, judging from the fact that you put most of your troops and all your energy overseas, your focus is definitely not at home, tell me, do you want to establish your own power abroad?" ”
Tang Qiuli's heart was shocked, this was an ideal buried in the deepest part of his heart, and he had never talked about it with anyone, including several core members of the division headquarters, because it was still far from the ideal goal, although he had been working hard to do it, and his father-in-law could come to such a conclusion with just two points, and for a moment, Tang Qiuli had the feeling that his father-in-law had seen through the secret in his heart.
However, Tang Qiuli was not ready to conceal it, in the face of such an old man who had insight into the world, any concealment could not escape his eyes, and what his father-in-law said at the dinner table, in retrospect, should contain an element of encouragement, otherwise, those emperors who have been famous through the ages will not appear frequently in his father-in-law's mouth.
Tang Qiuli's gaze looked at his father-in-law calmly, his voice was not loud, but he replied undoubtedly: "Yes, father-in-law, I am realizing my ideals!" ”
