Chapter 51
Xiao Ximing pushed Zhao Tang to stand still in front of General Lin, and he still respected this old man who was in a high position and full of majesty. I saw that he rarely eased his facial expression before he said lightly: "Grandpa Lin, I wish you a happy birthday!"
In fact, Admiral Lin is not a few years older than Xiao Xie, and Xiao Ximing should call him Uncle Lin, but the seniority of the two families was more chaotic when he was young, so he called him casually.
Admiral Lin also put down his usual majesty, smiled like a kind ordinary old man, and said happily: "Okay, good! I haven't seen Ximing for a few months, it seems that he has grown a little taller again, and he looks taller than your second uncle, but it's a pity that your second uncle went to the field to command the exercise, otherwise you can still compare. ”
Xiao Ximing's second uncle, Xiao Kai, is an authentic second-generation soldier who grew up in the military region, and has dedicated most of his life to the army, and is a serious and upright soldier who has engraved loyalty to the army into his bones.
Xiao Ximing: "...... Your wishes are beautiful. ”
But it can only be wishes, and wishes are usually imaginary! He didn't think that his rigid second uncle would be able to do such a thing.
Admiral Lin laughed: "Hahaha! You kid dare to tease your second uncle, be careful I'll tell him another day. ”
Xiao Ximing sat down opposite General Lin and snorted absently when he heard the words.
And Zhao Tang, who once again became a human flesh background board, had the opportunity to send a birthday greeting to General Lin with a smile: "Grandpa Lin, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"
Admiral Lin also responded with a smile, although he was not as close as to Xiao Ximing, he was also very kind: "Hmm! I heard that your kid is causing trouble again? ”
Why did everyone say that they had done wrong, Zhao Tang was still very unconvinced in his heart, but he didn't dare to make more excuses in front of General Lin, so he could only bow his head and respond sullenly: "Hmm......."
Admiral Lin reproached with half concern: "Look at you, you finally don't have to take care of the hospital in the past two years, why don't you know how to take care of your body so much, and toss yourself into it again."
Lin Min, who also sat down next to Xiao Ximing, interjected: "That's it, let Brother Xiao also accompany you to suffer."
Although it wasn't for Brother Xiao that he wouldn't have been able to come to the imperial capital at this time, but when he thought that Brother Xiao would have to accompany him up and down in the hospital from tomorrow, Lin Min was still full of unhappiness, and it was not pleasing to see him anywhere.
Zhao Tang was a little ashamed of what each of them said, and his sharp tongue didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he had to ask Xiao Ximing for help.
It's a pity that Xiao Ximing is busy arguing with General Lin's son and doesn't have time to pay attention to him.
Admiral Lin's only son, Lin Bo, is also a figure, when he was employed, he did not listen to General Lin's press to enter the army, but chose to go to the sea to do business, and made his own career from scratch, and now he is also a successful person in the shopping mall of the imperial capital.
A lot of his business experience is taken from Xiao Ximing, so he is also very enthusiastic about Xiao Ximing, and the two of them started a family routine there after the cold noise, although most of them were Lin Bo asking Xiao Ximing about the recent situation of the Xiao family, Xiao Ximing replied briefly, but the atmosphere was also very harmonious.
Admiral Lin left the room full of guests, and several people sat there and chatted for a while, Xiao Ximing's non-talkative temperament was also very face-saving and answered, until Lin Bo felt that it would be too rude to ignore other guests like this, so he asked Lin Min to take Xiao Ximing and them to play with the young people in the imperial capital.
Admiral Lin also smiled and said, "You young people haven't been together for a long time, go ahead, have fun."
Although he didn't want to see Xiao Ximing, the young masters and young ladies in the imperial capital, he didn't brush off General Lin's kindness, and after politely retreating, he pushed Zhao Tang to follow Lin Min and went to that small circle.
Of course Xiao Ximing knows the young master party in the imperial capital, although he has been in C City for most of his childhood since he was a child, he also wants to come to the imperial capital during the New Year's holidays, after all, Grandpa Xiao has lived in the imperial capital for a long time even after retirement, and because of Zhao Tang's injury in the past few years, he has been treated in the imperial capital for a few years, and he has been staying here for a few years.
Xiao Ximing was quite good at the young master's party, and as soon as he joined that small circle, a few people took the initiative to talk, and he didn't respond lukewarmly.
Zhao Tang's situation is more embarrassing, he has no family background and no background, others know that he can step into this circle because of Xiao Ximing's relationship, although he is polite to him, but in fact, no one really looks at him, and no one chats with him, fortunately, he is a heartless character, and he doesn't care about being faintly rejected, and he is rarely willing to be quietly willing to go back to the background board.
Xiao Ximing chatted casually with this group of young masters for a while and was about to get up and leave, and the young masters also knew that he had just gotten off the plane and went straight here, and even the Xiao family hadn't gone back yet, so they didn't embarrass him, and let him go with a polite word.
Xiao Ximing quickly said goodbye to General Lin, although Lin Min was very reluctant to let him leave so soon, but he had no choice but to reluctantly send them to the car.
It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when Xiao Ximing and the two returned to the Xiao family in the imperial capital, contrary to the excitement of the Lin family, only Grandpa Xiao and the housekeeper in the Xiao family seemed a little deserted.
Grandpa Xiao, an old man who is over eighty years old and has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, is still in good spirits after the time to fall asleep, especially after seeing Xiao Ximing and the two come in, although Grandpa Xiao is very strict with his sons, he loves his grandchildren very much.
As soon as he saw the two of them, he said lovingly: "Why did Lin Hong leave you so late, you are tired!" Hurry up and wash up and rest. ”
Lin Hong is also Admiral Lin, and generally only people of Grandpa Xiao's generation dare to call him by his name unscrupulously.
Facing his grandfather, who has hurt himself to the bone since he was a child, Xiao Ximing certainly wouldn't leave it like this, and wait for his half-night old man to run to wash up first.
Sitting next to his grandfather in two steps, Xiao Ximing said with a rare warm face: "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep first."
Zhao Tang also echoed: "That's right, Grandpa Xiao, you don't have to worry about us, we are not guests."
Seeing that the children cared so much about themselves, Grandpa Xiao's heart was sweeter than eating honey, and he smiled and said: "It's not like I haven't seen you for too long, I'll go to sleep immediately, you wash up and rest early, I've already contacted the hospital, and I can go for an examination tomorrow."
Having said that, the others had no intention of getting up and going to sleep.
Xiao Ximing was helpless, so he had to chat with him for a while before finally sending him back to his room to rest.
