Luo Lie walked over, leaned on the window and said, "Looking for me?"

Ye Qinghong nodded: "Have you eaten?"

Luo Lie shook his head and thought for a while, "Let's go to dinner together." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ye Qinghong agreed without thinking about it.

Luo Lie asked Dong Zhijun to go first, he and the blind man got into Ye Qinghong's car, Ye Qinghong heard that he was going to someone's house as a guest, so he insisted on buying a gift and bringing it over, Luo Lie didn't be polite to her, anyway, Ye Qinghong had money.

The blind man, who had always been idle, suddenly turned into a stuffy gourd because of Ye Qinghong's appearance, and he was obviously a little uncomfortable. There is a way to point tofu with brine, one thing drops one thing, the blind man is like this to Ye Qinghong, from the beginning of wishful thinking to laziness and discouragement, and then to the fear of keeping a distance in his heart, the blind man did not take too long to complete the entire psychological process.

The current blind man thinks that a woman like Ye Qinghong is only suitable for viewing from a distance, and she can't get too close, she belongs to a thorny rose, and it is easy to be pierced if she is too close, so she is not as close as Zhou Xiaodie, thinking of Zhou Xiaodie, the blind man's heart suddenly became empty and lost, and he couldn't understand why Zhou Xiaodie would leave him silently, at least he had to leave a letter, no matter how bad it was, he had to leave a sentence before leaving.

When they came to Min'an Primary School, they saw that Lao Hongtou had already been looking forward to it in front of the gate, Ye Qinghong parked the car, and the blind man took the lead in pushing the car door and walked down, calling Grandpa Hong very affectionately, and enthusiastically and thoughtfully introduced himself to Lao Hongtou.

When Lao Hongtou heard that he was Luo Lie's best friend, he smiled happily, patted An Zhai's broad shoulder and said, "Xiao Anzi, sit inside." ”

An Zhai always felt that although this title was kind, it was still a little awkward, and after thinking about it for a while, this title was a bit like coming out of the palace.

Ye Qinghong also followed Luo Lie to Lao Hongtou, Luo Lie introduced Ye Qinghong to Lao Hongtou, Lao Hongtou looked at the beautiful Ye Qinghong, and then looked at Luo Lie with a smile, his eyes were full of meaningful meaning, obviously thinking that the relationship between Ye Qinghong and Luo Lie was very unusual.

Ye Qinghong knew from the old man's expression that he must have misunderstood the relationship between herself and Luo Lie, she gave the gift she brought, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Hong, a small gift is not a tribute." ”

Lao Hongtou saw that Ye Qinghong actually brought a gift, and immediately put on a straight face and said: "What are you doing, they are all your own people, how can you be so polite?"

Luo Lie smiled and said: "Grandpa Hong, Miss Ye is coming to the door for the first time, this is also her intention, you can't help but give face." ”

Lao Hongtou had no choice but to accept it when he heard him, and said with a smile: "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, for the sake of your face, I will accept it, and come back in the future, but I can't be so outward." "The old man has the posture of treating Ye Qinghong as a family.

Yingzi also came out to greet at this time, took the gift from her grandfather, and was naturally attracted by Ye Qinghong's beauty. Luo Lie knew that she must have misunderstood, but there was no need to explain.

When Yingzi took the guests around to visit, Luo Lie came to the kitchen and saw Dong Zhijun working alone inside.

Dong Zhijun saw Luo Lie coming over and said to him: "Brother, you came just in time, hurry up and help me boil the water in the steamer." ”

Luo Lie walked over to help connect the steamer with water, stew it on the stove and boil it, Dong Zhijun cooked the fish here, and waited until the water boiled and put it in the steamer.

Luo Lie habitually took out a cigarette and handed it to Dong Zhijun, Dong Zhijun looked out of the door with some humility, convinced that Yingzi was not there, so he took it over, took out a chopping wood from the hearth and lit it, Luo Lie also came over and lit the cigarette, and said with a smile: "Are you so afraid of Sister Yingzi?"

Dong Zhijun smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Only if you are afraid can you love, and only if you love can you be afraid, you will understand when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future." After taking a puff of cigarette, he said mysteriously: "That Miss Ye seems to have a very unusual relationship with you." ”

Luo Lie laughed.

"What are you laughing at? I can tell. ”

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, you have lost your eyes this time, and I am an ordinary friend with her." ”

Dong Zhijun said: "I'm also a patrol in the German Concession, you can't fool me." ”

Luo Lie hurriedly changed the topic and said, "How are you and Sister Yingzi?"

Dong Zhijun sighed and said: "Fortunately, I finally didn't mention the divorce to me, but I still didn't want to go back with me, I've been too busy recently, and there are few opportunities to meet." ”

Luo Lie said: "Don't snub Sister Yingzi because of work." ”

Speaking of work, Dong Zhijun also felt a headache, recently there have been continuous things in the German Concession, and their patrol officers are also tired, so they flicked their cigarette ash and said: "Do you have any news of Bai Yunfei?"

Luo Lie shook his head, of course he wouldn't leak this matter easily: "I don't have any friendship with him, and if that kind of thing happens, I naturally have to stay away from him." ”

Dong Zhijun didn't have any doubts, nodded and said: "Bai Yunfei is a wanted criminal from all sides, it's best not to have anything to do with him." ”

Luo Lie said: "Is it very tightly pressed on the top?"

Dong Zhijun said: "Fortunately, we originally thought that the killing of the consul was a big deal, and we had to take responsibility for this incident, but now the people in the German Concession are panicking, and the German army is losing and retreating on the European battlefield, and it is said that it is likely to surrender in the near future. ”

Dong Zhijun was also an ambitious and hot-blooded young man, but he has been sharpened much in the real society, and the enthusiasm and edges and corners of the past have been gradually smoothed out, and the whole person has become much more realistic and philistine. If the German concession is gone, life will go on, which is the most realistic problem facing him and his colleagues.

Luo Lie said with a smile: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, even if there is no German concession, the police are still needed, otherwise who will maintain public security?"

Dong Zhijun nodded: "The fish is steamed, let's drink." ”

Luo Lie thought that Ye Qinghong's identity and temperament would be incompatible with other people here, but he didn't expect that she and Yingzi actually chatted quite closely, Yingzi took her to visit the campus, and the two went to Yingzi's room to chat for a long time, Luo Lie always felt that the topic between the two was related to him, and even Ye Qinghong's eyes were joking when he looked at him, Luo Lie even thought that Yingzi had shared his beagle nickname with Ye Qinghong without reservation.

The blind man is quite popular with the elderly, and this thing's mouth is as sweet as smeared with honey, which makes the old Hongtou happy.

Lao Hongtou was bold and hospitable, and opened another jar of treasured wine.

Luo Lie remembered that when he came last time, the old man once said that this jar of wine should be kept for later drinking, and he also said at that time that if Dong Zhijun and his family added children first, this jar of wine would be given to them, and if he married his daughter-in-law first, this jar of wine would be given to himself.

Yingzi was worried that her grandfather would drink too much, so she wouldn't let him drink any more after he had drunk six cups.

Lao Hongtou was also obedient, put down the last glass of wine and said: "This jar of wine originally wanted to keep it to bet with you, but I look back and think about it, I am already a person with loess up to my neck, I don't know how many days to live, or take advantage of you are all by my side, drink this jar of wine, some things, even if I want to, I may not have that blessing to see." ”

Yingzi knew what he wanted to say: "Grandpa, everyone is happy, don't say anything that spoils the fun." ”

Lao Hongtou said: "I haven't been nagging for a few days, these two days, I often think, what do people want in this life? When I was young, I was an extremely strong person, I couldn't rub sand in my eyes, I couldn't hold the uneven, and I was brave enough to do things, and then I gave birth to three sons, and I taught them when I was a child, the most important thing to be a man is to stand up to the heavens and the earth, to be worthy of heaven and earth, to be worthy of the ancestors, and to be worthy of their own conscience. ”

Yingzi bit her lip and stopped: "Grandpa, you are drunk, don't say it." ”

Lao Hongtou smiled: "I'm not drunk, I'm very sober, it's rare for so many of you children to accompany me today, a bad old man, let me say a few words, you don't bother you, right?"

The blind man said, "Grandpa Hong, you say, I want to listen to it." The mouth of this thing is sweet, and the rest of the people also nodded.

Lao Hongtou said: "I have lived for almost a lifetime, I have lived a miserable life, my eldest son died in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, I single-handedly sent him to enlist in the army, I learned of his death, I did not shed a tear, there is death in life, death is deserved, what is the hatred of the husband?" Later, my youngest son participated in the Boxer Rebellion, burned the church, killed foreigners, he did not die in the hands of foreigners, but died under the knife of the Qing court, and finally said that he was a chaotic party, when he died, I did not shed tears, the Eight-Nation Coalition army robbed our land, bullied our people, my son stood up, not afraid of **, for the sake of this tone, not ashamed. He took the glass in front of him and drank it cleanly.

Yingzi didn't speak, and silently added another glass of wine to the old man.

Lao Hongtou said: "Since then, I have set up a rule, the family does not talk about state affairs, Yingzi's father is my second son, honest and honest, keep to himself, her mother is humble and obedient, they have Yingzi soon after marriage, the two of them are teaching here, I thought at that time, I don't want to be rich and noble, nor do I want to glorify the ancestors, the family is just safe and sound, but I never thought of ah, I didn't expect that my son and daughter-in-law became a revolutionary party overnight, and they wanted to change the life of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Lao Hongtou suddenly stopped talking, and the room fell into silence, and after a long while, the old man continued: "If it hadn't been for a kind person to inform me in advance, Yingzi and I would have been arrested by the Qing court and beheaded. I saw my son and daughter-in-law beheaded by the executioner, and I still didn't cry, not a single tear fell, my three sons were gone, I wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry anyway. ”
