He Zirui entered politics and retired from the political bureau committee member representing the deputy national leadership level, and was one of the most senior members of the old term.

In the eighties and nineties, the compound was considered the most luxurious villa area, and the houses still retain their old appearance, with detached houses and private gardens, although the style is not comparable to those modern villas with all kinds of tricks, however, their quality or significance is far from comparable to the outside residences.

He San's family lives in a two-story civil and engineering mixed structure house, a small courtyard house, and because of this, the place is wide enough, and it is no problem for a family of three or four generations to live.

The He family has two family nannies and a driver assigned by the state, plus several generations of the He family themselves, and the whole small yard is very popular.

The ancestor of He has lived in his son's house in turn over the years, not because the brothers and concubines of the He family play ball, but because everyone is competing to support the elderly, even if He Zigong and He Zihua have passed away, their daughters-in-law have doubled their filial piety to the old man and fulfilled their filial piety on behalf of their husbands.

There are sons and daughters-in-law who are vying to support themselves, He ancestor is happy in his old age, because the palms and backs of her hands are meat, she is reluctant to let the children down, so she lives in the eldest son's house this year, the second son's house next year, the third son's house the year after, and then the fifth son's house the year after tomorrow, and so on in several children's homes in turn.

This year, it is the turn of He San's family, and He Zirui, his wife, children and grandchildren take care of the elderly.

It took less than two minutes for He Zirui and the others to return to the compound, and basically the residents of the entire compound knew that Old Man He San had taken Old Ancestor He home from the hospital.

The compound is inhabited by retired leading cadres at the national and ministerial levels, as well as the families of the current Standing Committee, who are naturally well-informed, and as soon as they inquire, they heard that the time limit for the ancestors of the He family is approaching, and the reason why they go home is because the family hopes that the old man will die at home.

In this way, whether it is out of favor or affection, of course, each family has to go to the house of the third old man to visit, if you don't go to visit now, when you wait for the old ancestor He to return to the west, then don't say that others think it's hypocrisy, even if you are embarrassed.

As a result, the families living in the compound visited He's house one after another.

The first to visit He's house is the nearest neighbor, male or female, He Zirui and his old wife led the children to receive friends and neighbors politely, He San's old wife Chai Xi, Jiangnan people's family, gentle and dignified, even if it is too old, at first glance it looks like a person who is just fifty or sixty years old.

Take the ancestors home, He Qili, He Qiwei, He Qijie brothers will go back first, they have their own jobs, He Qili and He Qiwei are relatively free, but because the National Day holiday is about to be released in a few days, there are many things that need them to make decisions, and they must be dealt with, and He Qijie and his wife are university lecturers and have to teach in the afternoon.

He Mingsheng and He Mingjun also went to work first, He Mingjing, He Mingtao and He Panpan also had their own jobs, and their work pressure was not great, so they stayed at home with Luo Xiulan to take care of their ancestors, Yan Xing didn't leave, and he still needed to observe and observe the situation.

The two nannies were preparing lunch, the old and young of the He family were treating guests, and just sent an elderly couple who came to visit the hospital out of the yard, everyone was about to turn around and enter the house, and saw an old lady coming.

The old and young people of the He family can recognize the person, and the old lady is Mrs. Wang, that is, the grandmother of Xiaolongbao Xiaoqingmei Wang Yuxuan.

Wang Yuxuan's grandfather Wang Guohong is also a member of a certain state ministry, slightly lower than He San, He San is a deputy national level, and Wang Lao is a high-ranking official.

Mrs. Wang is also an old lady over seventy years old, very well maintained, looks like she has just reached the age of sixties, only a few handfuls of silver hair, hair combed into a bun, she does not accept the old, wears a fashionable gauze sleeve dress, and thinks she is a middle-aged woman from a distance.

Mrs. Wang carried a box of high-grade bird's nest porridge, and when she walked far away from He San's house, she saw someone coming out of He San's house, she wanted to inquire about the situation, and she had a good heart to figure out, thinking about what to say, but the direction where the person lived was opposite to her house, and she took the fork in the road to go in the other direction, so she gave up and hurried to He's house.

"Here we go again." He Panpan muttered in a low voice, and then smiled at Mimi: "Grandma, you and grandpa and second grandpa go back and sit, and we juniors can receive you outside." ”

"It's fine." He Zirui thinks it's right.

"Xiao Pan, don't reveal any emotions." The old lady was not worried about her granddaughter, and told her that the children in their family were all top good children, most of them were calm and capable, Pan Pan was a straight person, and she couldn't hide her words and emotions very much, she was worried that her granddaughter would show obvious malice, which was easy to do bad things.

Yesterday afternoon, the He family had a private meeting with their family, and everyone knew the situation of their ancestors, knew what was going on, and knew what to do.

She and her daughter-in-law and children received a call from the hospital, personally sorted out what their ancestors had eaten that day, found the unfinished bag of ginger slices, and divided them into two packages, one package for the children and grandchildren to use as clues to check the source, and the other part and the ginseng sent by the Wang family were all sealed and locked in the safe.

The ancestor was almost fatal because of foreign objects, for the He family, that kind of thing must not be tolerated, take the ancestor home, there are family members at home 24 hours a day, safety is guaranteed, the children and grandchildren of the He family will carry out the investigation and investigation work next, before the results come out, it is not appropriate to startle the snake.

Mrs. He San was afraid that her granddaughter would be too straight, and she couldn't control her emotions so that Mrs. Wang would notice it, which would not be conducive to her family's actions.

"Grandma, your precious granddaughter is not a three-year-old child, you know what to do, you treasures of the town house can go home and sit, so let's behave too." He Panpan stuck out her tongue mischievously at Grandma.

"Zirui, let's take a break and give the children a chance to behave." He Zirong felt that He Xiaowu was reasonable, and walked in with a smile.

He San and his wife did not hesitate, and slowly turned around and went back to the living room, and Luo Xiulan also went back, peeling fruits and making tea for the elders.

Mrs. Wang walked outside the Hesan Courtyard, before she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, through the lush camellia tree, she saw several handsome men and women in front of the building, she took two steps back, and looked carefully through the tree, and couldn't help squinting slightly, Yan Xing is also back?

Seeing the handsome and noble, elegant and elegant descendant of the Yan family, Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while, I don't know if I want to go to the He family now, Yan Xing and Yu Xuan are childhood sweethearts, she is also quite in favor of the two children being paired up, who knows that Yu Xuan finally chose Yan Xing's half-brother, and Yu Xuan and Yan Xing also had an unpleasant quarrel, which made her sometimes quite embarrassed.

Just when she hesitated, He Mingjing greeted her happily: "Grandma Wang, you have come to see our grandmother again, please come in, the sun is big outside, and it is easy to get dizzy after a long time." ”

He Mingtao blinked quietly, Xiao Twelve became more and more calm, he looked at the fifth sister and Brother Long Bao, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Grandma Wang is good!" ”

"Hey." The children of the He family had seen themselves, and Mrs. Wang had no way to retreat, so she walked around the flowers and trees and walked to the courtyard of He San.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the hospital, He Mingjing trotted in, hugged Mrs. Wang affectionately, and took the gift she brought with her: "Grandma Wang, you always care about our grandmother, we juniors have been moved inexplicably, how can you still spend money, you always accompany our grandmother and our third grandmother to talk to come when you want, between neighbors, between old friends, it seems unfamiliar to bring gifts again and again." ”

"I haven't seen you for a while, your girl is getting more and more eloquent, I used to come empty-handed, I'm almost embarrassed to say this."

"Grandma Wang, the last time I came to the third grandfather's house was more than a month ago, there is a way that Shibei should be impressed for three days, after such a long time, it is normal for you to always look at me."

"Grandma Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days, your old face is full of red light, your complexion is ruddy, and you are becoming more and more energetic." He Panpan also greeted the courtyard and helped the old lady Wang with Xiao Twelve.

Being supported by a pair of sisters of the He family, feeling the attention of the He family, Mrs. Wang was very useful, and she said "where, where".

He Mingtao and Yan Xing flashed to the side and followed Mrs. Wang into the house.

The children of the Yan family didn't say anything, and even their facial expressions didn't change, as if they didn't have any prejudices against themselves, and Mrs. Wang was slightly relieved and entered the three families.

Mrs. He San, Chai Xi, and Mrs. Wang are of the same generation, the two sit down hand in hand like sisters to talk, and the juniors serve tea, fruits, dried fruits, and melon seeds.

He San and He Er are men, only as escorts, mainly by Chaixi to entertain Mrs. Wang, a few words, Mrs. Wang asked He the ancestor's condition in detail, and proposed to go to see the old man's house.

"Thank you Mrs. Wang for her concern for her mother, my mother is in extreme weakness, the doctor instructed that it is better to isolate and recuperate as much as possible, we follow the doctor's advice, rent a sterile mobile operating room ward and place it in my mother's bedroom, even our family members can not visit at will, your kindness and concern for our hearts, dare not ask Mrs. Wang to visit her mother, please forgive me for the rudeness." He Zirui was deeply sorry to decline the guest's request.

The little doctor repeatedly instructed not to let people approach the patient easily, lest anyone bring unclean things into the room, and before, they also politely refused the kindness of several other guests to visit the patient, and the old lady Wang was still suspicious, and it was even more impossible for them to let people go to see the old ancestor.

"Oh, that's right, but I'm taking the plunge and causing you trouble." Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed, she didn't know it, and she boldly proposed to see the patient, which made the family embarrassed.

"You're welcome......"

Unable to visit the patient, Mrs. Wang sat down briefly and said goodbye, the He family politely sent her out of the house, and saw her go out of the courtyard before turning around and entering the house, without outsiders, everyone in the He family no longer had to keep smiling.

"Xiaolongbao, what do you think?" He Zirui's eyes were sharp, and his face was full of anger.

He Erhe Zirong is an expert in the agricultural and animal husbandry industry, and he is a good hand in agriculture and animal husbandry, but he does not understand the trivial matters such as detours and bends, and the sophistication of people, regardless of the major matters in the family, on various major decision-making issues, he listens to his younger brother and sons and nephews, and only listens to opinions and suggestions, and does not be the master of the family.

"I can't see it at the moment, if their family is a participant or mastermind, it is estimated that they have also hidden it from the old lady, I am afraid of the kindness of the woman."

"Hmm." He Zirui nodded: "In the future, our family will strictly guard against it, but all the Wang family or those who are close to the Wang family will be listed as the object of prevention, and no one can get close to the ancestors, and things that are not sent by their own people cannot be imported, and they are all packed and sealed." ”

He Mingtao nodded frequently, no matter what others sent, but anyone who can't absolutely trust someone can send it, even if it is wasted, he can't eat it, let alone appear in front of his ancestors.

It was close to noon, and those who had not yet gone to He's house also rested their minds and decided to visit again in the afternoon.

Mrs. Wang left the He family and went home directly, with only the nanny and her second son's daughter at home.

The Wang family lives in a two-story building, much narrower than the house of the He San family, she came home, the old man in the family has not come back, because the old man often runs to drink tea with friends and is not at home all day, she is used to it.

Wang Guohong has two sons, the eldest son is the mayor of Beijing, the younger son serves in the Ministry of Railways, Wang Lao used to live in the family compound of the Ministry of Railways, and then gradually upgraded to live in the compound corresponding to his position, and the younger son is still in the Ministry of Railways, so he still lives in the family compound.

"Grandma, you're back." When Wang Yuxuan saw her grandmother coming back, she ran up and greeted her happily, and hugged her grandmother's arm at the door: "Grandma, what's the good thing about you calling me back in a hurry?" ”

"The ancestor of the He family has been discharged from the hospital, and going for a walk at this time is conducive to taking this opportunity to repair the relationship between you and Yan Xing, I called you over just to take you to visit the patient." When Mrs. Wang saw her granddaughter, she touched the child's hair dotingly.

She has only one grandson and a granddaughter, the grandson does not look like her, the granddaughter is the most similar to her, and the old man also prefers the little granddaughter.

"Oh, Old Ancestor He has been discharged from the hospital, and he is cured?" Wang Yuxuan's eyes widened in surprise, after He Lao Zu was admitted to the hospital, he said that the situation was very serious, and he turned the crisis into safety so quickly, and the old man deserved to be a blessed old birthday star, and he could save the day every time.

"It's not that the illness is cured, it's that it's about to die, give up healing, come back and wait for death." Mrs. Wang was supported by her granddaughter and enjoyed her granddaughter's considerate service of rubbing her shoulders and back.

"When I first went, I saw Yan Xing also there, seeing the people of the He family laughing, this time it is estimated that the old ancestor of He is not good, they just want the old man to go with peace of mind and pretend to be relaxed, the old man probably does not have a few days to live, this is your chance, go for a walk, care and care, Yan Xing is obedient to his grandmother's words, you care just right, he is thinking of his grandmother's face, and it is impossible to care about it anymore, and he will naturally be able to release his suspicions when he comes and goes. Our Wang family is far less prosperous than the He family and the Liu family, your uncle and his strength alone is limited, as long as you get Yan Xing, Yan Xing protects you, and waits for the He family and the Liu family to be the two trees as backers, you can sit back and relax at any time. ”

"Okay, Grandma, I get it." Wang Yuxuan obediently listened to her grandmother's teaching, and her grandmother was right, when Yan Xing had no suspicion with her, the Liu family and the He family were kind and close to her, and when she had a conflict with Yan Xing, the attitude of the Liu family and the He family towards her took a 180-degree turn.

"Grandma, Zhao Zongze is still waiting outside for me to go to dinner together, I'll leave first if there's nothing else, I'll go buy gifts after eating and come back to visit the doctor in the afternoon or tomorrow to show my sincerity."

"I'm still thinking about him for a little while, it's really a big girl." Mrs. Wang glanced at her with disgust, and laughed again: "I know that you two are like glue and love you very much, so you don't need to explain it to me." ”

"Grandma laughed at me again, and I won't go."

"Oh, okay, then let him wait outside, you eat at home."

"No, grandma is teasing me again, grandma, I'm out."

"Go, go, hurry."

Mrs. Wang drove her granddaughter away funny, compared to Yan Xing, Zhao Zongze is not a little worse in terms of appearance and ability, Yan Xing dumped Zhao Zongze ten streets, but Yuxuan liked Zhao Zongze, fortunately, Zhao Zongze was good to Yuxuan, that was enough.

Wang Yuxuan lifted his bag, held a sun umbrella, and walked to the gate of the compound, the courtyard was very strictly guarded, and ordinary people couldn't get in, even if Zhao Zongze and Wang Yuxuan reached the point of talking about marriage, he was not qualified to enter arbitrarily, and if he wanted to go in, he had to ask the old lady of the Wang family or Wang Lao to greet the doorman, register first, once or twice, and the old couple couldn't pull their faces, so in addition to the big days, Wang Yuxuan was embarrassed to take Zhao Zongze into the compound.

Zhao Zongze's car was parked outside the compound, he waited in the car, he was so upset that he hadn't come out yet, and he almost wanted to call Wang Yuxuan to ask if he wasn't going to eat.

When he finally saw Wang Yuxuan's figure coming out of the compound, he put away the impatience on his face, got out of the car, trotted to greet him, picked up someone outside the gate of the compound, quickly grabbed the umbrella to help her cover the sun, walked to the side of the car and pulled the car door, waited for her to get into the car, helped her fasten her seat belt, and then went around the front of the car and went back to the cab.

"Xiaoxuan, are your grandparents in good health, it's okay to call you?" The car started, and he asked the reason with concern.

"It's nothing important, grandma said that the ancestor of the He family is dying, probably just a few days, and asked me to go back to visit the sick and improve the tense relationship between me and Xiaolongbao."

"Ah, that's the case, you went to visit a few days ago, the old lady of the He family is in good health, it's only been a few days and it's not very good, it's really unpredictable, I'll buy some gifts in the afternoon, you take it to visit." Zhao Zongze's eyes flashed with excitement, and his mouth gently expressed surprise.

"Well, I think so too, the ginger candy I brought last time, the old man ate it and said it was delicious, where did you buy it, let's buy some more, maybe the old man will like it."

"The last time that kind of ginger candy, it was a homemade souvenir given to me by a director of the hospital, I couldn't buy it in the mall, I got such a small packet, last time you said that the ancestors of the He family loved to eat ginger candy, I took it to you to visit the sick, but unfortunately it is gone, and if you take it to the old man to eat, maybe the old man will have an appetite after eating, and the disease will soon get better."

"There are no souvenirs, so let's go to the mall and buy some."

"Well, listen to you. Let's go to XX for dinner first, I ordered the meal, and I can eat in the past......"
