troublemaker

Chapter 170

The bamboo path leads to a secluded place, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep.Tea and wine are hidden on the bank of the Jinjiang River in the depths of Jushuang Garden. It can be regarded as a piece of pure land in the busy city. It is quiet and peaceful, and it is not easy to be disturbed. Most of the people who can come to tea and wine are regular customers, and they are usually in their 30s. Above, very few young people come.The three guys in the teahouse are different from other teahouses. They are all old people who are close to sixty years old. They have been close friends with Mr. Hu for many years. When they are old and have nothing to do, they come here to pass the time.

Sitting opposite the old man, a middle-aged man in his forties who wears glasses and is somewhat refined rarely sees the old man so groggy. The old man has been doing things quite calmly for decades. , When and what to do, the old man knows better than many people, so only the old man is living leisurely now.As for him, the 46-year-old at the departmental level is not much news to today's increasingly younger cadres. According to this routine, if you are lucky, you may enter the ministerial-level sequence. If you are not lucky, you may work at the departmental level until retirement. There are always various possibilities in life, but it depends on people.

The middle-aged man has black hair in a suit and leather shoes, but the old man in his seventies has gray hair, eyebrows and wrinkled face, but he looks good. Although his hair is gray, it is very thick, and he is not like most old people. But it can make middle-aged people tremble, saying that the old man has the aura of not being angry and arrogant, and he is a little deceiving himself. Middle-aged people restrained themselves in front of him, not everyone could do it.Perhaps, the middle-aged people are psychologically in awe of the old man, after all, the old man once held a high position.

The words "descendants of the Lin family" had a great impact on the old man. He was able to hold his ground and land safely at the last moment, all thanks to the old lady of the Lin family. The favor he owed has not yet been repaid. Now that the descendants of the Lin family are visiting, how can the old man calm down and shout to his former secretary Lao Qin sitting next to him, "Old Qin, please go quickly!"

Lao Qin is now almost 60 years old. He retired two years ago. After retiring, he did not go to the CPPCC to provide for the elderly. The old man was the driver back then, and old Liu was a more speculative friend of the old man.The one who went upstairs was Lao Zhang, the old man's driver.

After all, Lao Qin was the confidant of the old man back then, and he probably already guessed who it was, so he hurried downstairs to invite him.After Lao Qin took Lao Zhang downstairs, the middle-aged man didn't ask the old man who was visiting, and if he could walk to the hall-level sequence, if he didn't even know how to look in his eyes, he would retreat sooner or later. There must be a score, the old man will definitely say it if he wants to say it, not to mention that he will see it in a while.

"It should be my old friend. When I first retired, he helped me in this store. A young and mature young man, he can be regarded as full of background." The old man explained with a smile, and he has returned to normal. It was just a little unexpected that this child came to visit suddenly.

The middle-aged man nodded and filled the old man's teacup with tea. There is a rule about tea and wine. You can choose the tea and wine by yourself. Whether the tea is good or not depends on whether the wine suits your taste. It is not expensive. The things you buy are good. After you choose them, the old men will send them to you. The most important thing is that drinking is okay, but you have to make tea yourself. It’s a bit like a self-service style. These people will probably drink a few sips, so those who can come to tea and wine are experts. After all, the tea, water, and wine of tea and wine are all carefully selected. The old man's daughter sent someone to take charge this matter.

"Then I should have seen it," the middle-aged man said with a smile after filling up his tea.

The old man smiled and shook his head, "You haven't seen it, Yu Jia has seen it before."

Yujia is the daughter of the old man. The old man has only one daughter. He is currently the chairman of a comprehensive company in Chengdu. He has many interactions with middle-aged men. On the other hand, middle-aged men have complicated feelings for the old man's daughter. .The middle-aged man is a little curious about who it is, has he really never seen it?

Just when the middle-aged man was thinking about who this descendant of the Lin family Hu Yujia had met, he was honest and cute, although he was young and mature, he brought the immature Er Fatty and the cautious Zhao Chuxi, and went upstairs under the guidance of Lao Qin.The old man slapped his knees. The middle-aged man knew that he should leave. He had already seen Er Pang and Zhao Chuxi. He was quite surprised by Er Pang's sturdy body. young people.

"Mr. Hu, then I'll go first," the middle-aged man slowly got up and said.

The old man smiled calmly and said, "School official, you can do what you should do. At this time, many people are watching"

Studying as an official, learning and being excellent will lead to an official?

After hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man named Xueshi finally felt at ease, gently pushed his glasses, nodded and left with a smile.When leaving, he intentionally looked at Zhao Chuxi and Erpang, but Erpang completely ignored him, while Zhao Chuxi smiled and nodded to him in greeting. The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, smiled, and left straight away. Lao Qin consciously sent him downstairs .

If you look carefully at the second floor of Tea and Wine, you will find that it is a bit more complicated than the first floor. There is no so-called individual box, only the second floor is divided into five areas by exquisitely carved wooden fence walls, four There is only one set of tea tables and tea seats in the area, with ancient paintings on the walls, incense burners on the tea tables, blue and white porcelain at the door, antique lanterns above the head, and bookshelves in the corners, most of which are Chinese studies.The area in the middle with its back against the Jinjiang River is covered by bead curtains, with bamboo mats spread inside, and a guzheng placed on the red sandalwood table in the middle.In the center of the second floor is a bronze nine tripod, which is regarded as the feng shui eye of the tea house. The old man sat in the tea room on the far side, following the middle-aged man out.

After the old man saw Er Pang, he felt a little emotional, Er Pang stepped forward to support the old man and said, "Grandpa Hu is good!"

The old man stroked Er Fatty's arm. He hadn't seen him for several years. This little guy is now so tall and strong, and he has changed a lot. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's grown so big."

Er Fatty's face was calm, neither happy nor sad, not emotional, still calm and calm.

"Why did you come to Chengdu suddenly, and didn't you say hello to grandpa in advance?" Er Pang helped the old man into the tea room, and the old man complained, while Zhao Chuxi followed behind, continuing to look at the entire second floor, and the old man in black coat and cloth shoes .

Er Fatty replied, "I came here in a hurry, but just after finishing my work, I came to see Grandpa Hu."

"To do business or to play?" The old man completely treats Erpang as a grandson. His wife died of illness when he was just over sixty years old. Not patriarchal, but I still like boys more in my heart.When Er Fatty was in the teahouse, the old man doted on him very much.

"I'll stay in Chengdu from now on," Er Fatty paused for a moment and replied.

The old man looked at Erpang suspiciously and asked, "Then your grandma?"

Er Fatty's expression changed slightly, but he still replied, "Grandma, grandma passed away last month"

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made the old man lose his mind in an instant. The news was so sudden that he seemed unprepared in his heart. He never expected such bad news.It took a long time for the old man to feel relieved. Looking back, the old lady is already in her eighties. When she gets old, she may return home at any time. Birth, old age, sickness and death are all human.

"Oh, I think back then, your grandma made good tea, and I will never drink the tea made by your grandma again." The old man said sadly. At his age, there are not many old friends and old friends who can live now.

Erpang said in a deep voice, "Without grandma, grandpa can drink Sanwu's tea."

The old man nodded. After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Sanwu may be more sad than him. The old lady and the child have been dependent on each other for many years. It was the old lady who raised him single-handedly. The relationship between him and the old lady is beyond comprehension by outsiders.Even though the old man was sad, he didn't want to show it in front of the child.

Turning his head, the old man looked at Zhao Chuxi and asked, "Who is he?"

Er Pang had already thought of how to introduce Zhao Chuxi, and said with a firm expression, "Grandma said, let me follow Chuxi from now on."

"Grandpa Hu, my name is Zhao Chuxi," Zhao Chuxi replied with a smile.

The old man said to himself, "Prosperity? This name is good, and it has a taste of returning to nature."

What the old lady said in Sanwu was obviously telling him about Zhao Chuxi's identity.There are not many young people who can be recognized by the old lady.For example, Liu Xueshi, who had just stepped out, the old lady's evaluation in one sentence was that he would never leave Sichuan.What advantages does this young man have that can make the old lady entrust the child Sanwu, rather than entrusting the child of the Lin family?

The old man didn't think too much about it, he had to look at some things slowly, and waved his hands, "Then what are your plans?"

"I don't have any plans yet, I want to continue drinking and drinking tea at Grandpa Hu's place," Er Fatty took the initiative to say, he was asking Zhao Chuxi for a way out.

The old man was all smiles, but he didn't speak. He looked at Er Fatty for a few times and understood what he meant. He nodded and said, "If you want to come back, come back, just to accompany Grandpa."

Erpang heaved a sigh of relief. The old man seemed to have promised him and Zhao Chuxi to stay here. As long as he stayed here, Zhao Chuxi would have a higher starting point than others. This was the real reason why Erpang came here.
