After returning to Xie Dong's residence, Wang Xingting and Jia Hongluo sat down and left.

Zhuang Zekun stood in the study, looking at where Xie Dong often sits, and said, "I always feel that the teacher is still there." ”

Guan Qingtong and the other five stood behind Zhuang Zekun, all silent.

After a while, Zhuang Zekun sighed, he turned to look at Guan Nuo, "The teacher has been talking about you, I originally planned to celebrate the New Year this year, and I brought you to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year with the teacher, who ......knows" He shook his head, his face became more serious, and he said: "Xiaonuo, this time your Aunt Wu and Uncle Zhu will stay in Yanjing, and the matter of cooperation with the institute will be handed over to you in the future, and there will be something that cannot be solved...... Just ask your mom more. ”

"I, I'll try." Guan Nuo said.

Zhuang Zekun pondered for a moment, and then said, "Director Wang introduced two people over and wanted to enter the special department. ”

Zhuang Zekun repeated what Wang Xingting said in the car, and then said: "Director Wang is kind to us, he opened his mouth, I can't refuse." ”

"Are those two people studying in Tangjiang?" Guan Qingtong asked.

"One is in Tangjiang, the other is in Jinkang." Su Wangshu glanced at Zhuang Zekun, "Jia Hong sent the information over just now." ”

Zhuang Zekun nodded, and he said to Guan Nuo: "These two people are for you." ”

Guan Nuo asked, "Are they from the research institute?" ”

"Sort of, I know you're a little dissatisfied with the institute now," Zhuang Zekun paused slightly, and walked a few steps left and right, "In the future, the institute will also be dominated by young people, Jia Hong is less than forty, and Ji Xiaozhen's apprentice doesn't seem to be much older than you," he stopped, "You don't have to be afraid of them, you think what they do is inappropriate, just propose or refuse, don't be afraid if something happens, young people will always make mistakes, we and the institute didn't look down on each other at the beginning, Later, we cooperated more and became familiar with each other, so it was good. ”

Guan Nuo said, "I see. ”

"How's Don doing?" Zhuang Zekun asked.

"What?" Guan Nuo was a little dazed.

"Did you meet her when you were cultivating in my apartment?"

Guan Nuo replied: "I met her once, and then she didn't come, maybe she thought I disturbed her." ”

"That's right."

"But she instructed me a lot, saying that I want to fight more battles, so that I can fight with Zhaocai."

Zhuang Zekun nodded, "Then you should ask her for more advice, she cultivates a lot, and her talent is extremely high even if it is in the mountains." ”

"I will." Guan Nuo said.

"Good, good ......"

The doorbell rings.

Su Wangshu walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and when he saw the person, he was slightly stunned, and then said while letting go of his body: "Secretary General Ying, you ......"

"I'm here to see off Mr. Xie." Ying Jianye said and walked into the living room.

Zhuang Zekun walked out of the study with the rest of the people.

Should Jianye kowtow and incense. After standing up, he looked at Xie Dong in the photo and said: "After I heard the news, I rushed back, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late." ”

Zhuang Zekun said: "You have a heart. ”

Wu Yulan brought tea.

Ying Jianye sat down and said: "I only talked to Mr. Xie last month, he was very happy at that time, and said that in a few years, he could start to try out some norms and regulations, and he told me a lot of ideas, but I didn't expect ......."

Zhuang Zekun's voice was a little choked, "The teacher has been discussing this with me, and he has even written a first version. ”

"He's already written?"

"yes, I'll show you."

Zhuang Zekun walked into the study with Ying Jianye.

After Zhuang Zekun detoured to the desk, he opened the drawer and took out a notebook from it, and after turning a few pages, a piece of paper fell from the notebook, and he bent down to pick it up.

Two lines of words were written on the scrap of paper. The first line is a name, Meng Yuanbai. The second line is a place name, Luo County. It was Xie Dong's handwriting.

Zhuang Zekun stuffed the pieces of paper into his pocket, walked to Ying Jianye with a notebook, and said, "I ordered these few articles." ”

Ying Jianye took the open notebook and looked down carefully.

After a long time, he closed the notebook and handed it back to Zhuang Zekun. He said, "Zekun, it's up to you in the future." ”

Zhuang Zekun took the notebook back and said, "I know." ”

Ying Jianye chatted with Zhuang Zekun and others for more than 20 minutes before leaving.

Guan Qingtong saw that Zhuang Zekun's face was a little wrong, and she asked, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”

Zhuang Zekun said: "That night, I mentioned Meng Yuanbai's matter with the teacher, and the teacher said that he might be a native of Yuanbai Dao and had participated in the catastrophe thirty years ago. ”

Zhuang Zekun handed the piece of paper to Guan Qingtong, "The teacher may have found out something later, but he hasn't had time to tell me yet." ”

Guan Qingtong looked at the handwriting on the piece of paper, and she said, "I'll check it." ”

Zhuang Zekun whispered, "Okay." ”

……

Bug House.

After Zhaocai was taken away by Tang Butian, Jiang You felt a little lonely. So he got up one day early, tricked Jiu Jiu into the bird cage, and took him to the park.

He met Zhao Lijun, who was also walking birds, and he greeted him and said, "Old Zhao, come to walk the birds again?" ”

Zhao Lijun saw the coal in the cage and asked, "This coal is not the one last time, right?" Seems to be a little smaller? ”

Jiang You said: "This is just raised by me, very spiritual, right?" ”

Chirp jumped twice in the cage.

"Spirit."

"Eh, your canary seems to be redder than last time, what kind of bird food are you feeding?"

Zhao Lijun was very modest, he said: "It is just ordinary mixed grains, millet, millet ......."

After touting each other's birds, Zhao Lijun asked, "Why haven't you come to exercise recently?" And what about your fitness trainer? ”

Jiang You pointed to his knee, "The meniscus is damaged, I have been raising it at home for a few days, and I feel better today, so I will go out for a walk." ”

Zhao Lijun suddenly realized: "No wonder you don't go to play chess, your knees are this, you have to take care of them, otherwise when you get old, some of them will be uncomfortable." ”

"I thought so too, I'll check it back in a few days and see how it goes. Has Xu Lao been soaking in the teahouse every day recently? ”

"Bubble! Then tell us about his daughter and son-in-law. ”

"Married?"

"I think it's going to be soon."

"Then I'll go to him later."

After chatting for a while, after parting, Jiang You walked towards the lake with the birdcage. After walking around the lake for half a circle, I felt a little tired, so I sat down on a bench by the lake.

Lay down the cage and fold your hands behind your head.

The sun gradually rose, the lake was sparkling, and after feeling a little hot, Jiang You was about to stand up, but he saw a monk wearing a ginger monk's robe walking towards him not far away.

Master Hongzhen walked up to Jiang You, folded his hands and saluted, "Master Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
