Guan Xiong

Mr. Guan's beard and hair are all white. His majesty and arrogance that made the enemy fearful and domineering have been washed away by the peaceful years. Now he looks even more kind-hearted, with a standard old appearance. He is tough, and his years of military career have made his daily life extremely regular.

Li Xiaoning understands that this is a great courtesy given to him by Guan Lao. Although tomorrow is the day of his birthday, at that time, in his capacity, he may not have the opportunity to talk to the old man. Although the Guan family only has Guan Jianguo's bloodline, But at that time, there will be many relatives and friends who will come from afar from the old man's hometown, and the central leaders and the main leaders of various ministries and commissions will inevitably come to celebrate his birthday. He, a small mayor, must not even have a place to stand .

Wu Yue'e and Li Xiaoning went forward to greet Guan Pengju with a bow first, Guan Pengju grabbed Li Xiaoning's hand excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, Wei Jie's children have grown up so much, they are promising, but it's a pity that Wei Jie is no longer here , otherwise we would be so happy to have a happy gathering today..." As he spoke, the old general who had never shed a tear in his life under the hail of guns and bullets shed tears of excitement.

Wu Yue'e shed tears as she thought of her deceased husband, and Li Xiaoning also looked a little sad.

Seeing that his father was so excited, Guan Jianguo hurriedly comforted him: "Dad, today is a day of reunion, so don't say such sad words, it will make the juniors feel uncomfortable..."

Guan Pengju smiled and said, "Jianguo is right, today is a day of great joy, no one is allowed to cry anymore, Jianguo, please introduce them..."

After Guan Jianguo agreed, he took Li Xiaoning's hand and introduced them one by one, "Xiaoning, this is your Aunt Guan..."

"Hi, Auntie..." Li Xiaoning obediently bowed to the woman standing behind Guan Jianguo.

This is Guan Jianguo's second wife, Lin Rushi, who is well maintained. She is in her 40s, and she looks like she is in her early thirties. She smiled and nodded to Li Xiaoning, and then stretched her arms. It stands to reason that this is the first time she and Wu Yue'e have met, and it is far from such an intimate level. However, at such a time, on such an occasion, before the distinguished guests of the Guan family, such His actions seemed enthusiastic and reasonable. Sure enough, Mr. Guan nodded in satisfaction when he saw his daughter-in-law's actions.

When Guan Yalin was introduced next, Li Xiaoning was stunned. The girl in front of her was wearing black thin woolen trousers, a beige cashmere sweater, and slightly permed brown-yellow hair, which made her cheeks more pink and delicate. Maybe it was her mood. The reason for the excitement, Li Xiaoning even saw that the slightly plump twin peaks not only supported the outer cashmere sweater into a beautiful curve, but also this curve was constantly changing shape with the beating of the heart.

Li Xiaoning knew why Guan Yalin was excited, because he was also very excited. He had seen this girl before, and Guan Yalin was the girl he met when he and Tang Wei bought the two Wanli five-color general jars.

"Hello," Guan Yalin took the lead and shook Li Xiaoning's hand politely, her tone was as flat as if the two had never met.

"Uh, hello," he pretended not to know each other, and Li Xiaoning couldn't be too eager.

As for Guan Jianguo's son Guan Peiyu, he is still a child, but that kind of dandyism has already begun to emerge. Li Xiaoning greeted him, but he not only ignored him, but instead snorted and turned his head away, probably because he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. up.

Because he was a child, Li Xiaoning naturally couldn't have the same knowledge as him, and Guan Jianguo just said, "This child doesn't understand manners at all," and gave up.

Wu Yue'e and Li Xiaoning were let into the living room. Although tomorrow was the birthday, the entire room was full of festive atmosphere.

Next came the family banquet, but Mr. Guan was very excited. Regardless of the health doctor's objection, he made an exception and drank a small glass of white wine. He made a face at Li Xiaoning and said, "Xiaoning, you have to visit grandpa often in the future. Come here." It’s too late, grandpa only drinks alcohol, they always control me, I’m not free at all!”

Li Xiaoning was also amused by Guan Pengju's appearance as an old child, and felt warm in his heart. He suddenly felt that the distance had shortened a lot, and he quickly agreed: "Grandpa, I will definitely visit you often, but you still have to listen to the doctor's advice, Grandpa." , drink less, the doctor is the best, your body is healthy, and those of us who are juniors will feel at ease, ".

"Xiaoning, don't talk nonsense..." Wu Yue'e pulled Li Xiaoning and said, she was afraid that Li Xiaoning could not speak a word well and annoy this powerful founding father.

However, Mr. Guan waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wu, you are wrong. Xiao Ning is Wei Jie's son, and that is my own grandson. If there is anything you can't say, pour more wine."

"Dad, you'd better stop drinking..." Guan Jianguo was a little embarrassed. He knew the old man's body. If something bad happened, how would tomorrow's birthday party end.

"That's right, Grandpa, I don't have too much wine, besides, there will be opportunities in the future," Li Xiaoning also persuaded.

Guan Pengju listened to Li Xiaoning's words very much, and immediately said with a chuckle: "Okay, okay, just a glass, let's not take it as an example." Seeing that Guan Pengju was so intimate with Li Xiaoning, Lin Rushi frowned inadvertently.

During the meeting, Guan Pengju asked about Li Xiaoning's situation, and Li Xiaoning answered truthfully one by one. I heard that Li Xiaoning was the mayor of the town within a year after graduation at a young age. "A tiger father has no sons. Wei Jie's child is promising, unlike Jianguo and the two children who are spoiled. Peiyu, look at you. You are already in elementary school, and you still look like a bear all day long." , look at your elder brother Xiaoning, he is so stable, he will become a great weapon in the future, but you, you don't do your job all day long, "

It's not that Guan Pengju doesn't love Guan Peiyu. He loves Guan Peiyu deeply and takes responsibility. Thinking of him, Guan Pengju has created such a foundation, his son's official career has basically come to an end, and his grandson is seeing that he can't do anything. How can he not be in a hurry? The worst thing to see is those people who look like brothers and sisters. On the contrary, they admire the down-to-earth young people like Li Xiaoning very much, and they get angry when they see Guan Peiyu's dandy appearance.

"What's wrong with me like this?" Guan Peiyu immediately fought back with tears when she heard her grandfather scolding her.

"Peiyu, don't cry. Grandpa said you were doing it for your own good. Mom also said something about you. You have grown up and should be sensible. Your elder brother Xiaoning finally came here. You should learn more from him. Learn..." Seeing her son crying aggrievedly, Lin Rushi felt very heartbroken, but with Guan Pengju present, she didn't dare to just coax her son, and she still had a somewhat educational tone.

"Whoever wants to learn from him, what is there to learn from him, the whole country bumpkin," Guan Peiyu was raised spoiled and spoiled, who has never suffered this kind of grievance, now the more she looks at Li Xiaoning, the more she dislikes her, and she immediately turns her anger on Li Xiaoning.

"What did you say, say one more thing." After hearing this, Guan Pengju, who was still smiling, slapped his palm on the table in anger, and the bowl of vegetable soup in the middle of the shot splashed out, "Hillbilly, You tell me what a country bumpkin is. Your grandfather and I also came from the countryside back then. The poor ones couldn’t even wear a new dress. Are you saying that I am also a country bumpkin?

Yes, the clothes we rural people don’t wear are as good as yours, and what we use is not as good as yours. We haven’t even seen many things since we were young, but Xiaoning doesn’t rely on anything but himself. Now he is the mayor of the town. , and you, you don't have money from your parents, you are embarrassed, you mean we are country bumpkins, right? Well, from now on, don't ask me, a country bumpkin for money, and make money yourself, what do you want? You can spend whatever you want, you can call anyone a country bumpkin if you want to, starve to death if you don’t have money, don’t even think about me giving you another penny, I really don’t understand how I, Guan Pengju, have a grandson like you.”

The more Guan Pengju talked, the more angry he became. His neck and face were all red when he said it, which caused coughing, and his face became even redder. In fact, Guan Peiyu is only a child who has just entered the fourth grade of elementary school. It is simply unrealistic for him to make money by himself, and so is Guan Pengju. In a fit of anger, say what comes to mind.

"Grandpa, I think Peiyu was just talking for a while. He didn't mean it. Calm down. Now we young people usually use bumpkins to swear. It doesn't have any special meaning," although Li Xiaoning had heard Guan Peiyu's words Afterwards, I was very angry, and I really wanted to slap Guan Peiyu, but when I saw Guan Peiyu was scolded by Guan Pengju and cried, I couldn't help but feel compassion, children, it's normal to be ignorant , I am a big man really competing with a child.

"Xiaoning, don't plead for him. I don't know who this little bastard is. Guan Peiyu, you must apologize to Xiaoning today," Guan Pengju stopped Li Xiaoning from speaking, and stared at Guan Peiyu.

"Why, why should I apologize to him, Mom," Guan Peiyu felt even more aggrieved when she heard that she wanted to apologize to Li Xiaoning, and grabbed Lin Rushi's arm, begging for help.

"Peiyu, you are really wrong this time. You shouldn't have said that to Xiaoning. Apologize to Xiaoning," Lin Rushi said with a sigh. She knew about Mr. Guan's temper. He dared not speak for Guan Peiyu, otherwise he would even be scolded.

"That's right, Pei Yu, it's your fault, hurry up and apologize to your elder brother Xiaoning," Guan Jianguo also said from the side.

Guan Peiyu looked at Lin Rushi and Guan Jianguo in astonishment, feeling terribly wronged in his heart, he didn't understand what was going on today, grandpa, father, and mother unanimously scolded him for an outsider, his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at Li Xiaoning .

"Uncle Guan, Auntie, there's no need, it's fine, I believe brother Peiyu is just talking for fun," Li Xiaoning tried to persuade.

"You don't need to be hypocritical like a country bumpkin..." Guan Peiyu's young master became angry, and obscenities continued to come out of his mouth.

With a sound of "slap," Guan Pengju slapped Guan Peiyu's face resoundingly. The force of the slap was so strong that five bright red finger prints immediately appeared on Guan Peiyu's face, and half of his face was swollen.

"Ah..., grandpa hit me..." Guan Peiyu grabbed Lin Rushi's clothes and began to cry.

After all, Lin Rushi cherished her child, seeing her son's face swollen so high, she couldn't care less, and said anxiously: "Dad, you are really too, Pei Yu is still a child, but she just talked about Xiaoning In a word, why did you hit him so hard, who is your grandson?"

Guan Pengju said with an angry face: "Shut up, you have no place to talk here, I haven't talked about you yet, don't think that I don't know about the things you did outside under the banner of our Guan family, I'm too lazy to care Forget it, I’m still alive now, and people don’t want to trouble you because of my face. If one day I leave, you will be in great trouble. There is an old saying that a loving mother often loses. Indulgence, from today onwards, I will rectify the style of the family, anyone who wants to discredit our Guan family, I will drive him out of the gate of our Guan family, "

After hearing Guan Pengju's words, Lin Rushi immediately shut her mouth and remained silent. She did indeed use power to seek personal gain outside under the guise of the Guan family. She also knew very well that those big bosses outside were actually not Giving face to oneself is to Guan Pengju and Guan Jianguo's face. If he is really kicked out of the Guan family, then the consequences can be imagined.

After Guan Pengju reprimanded Lin Rushi, he once again sternly said to Guan Peiyu who was still crying, "Apologize to Xiaoning immediately."

"I don't, I just don't," Guan Peiyu said stubbornly while crying.

Seeing that Guan Pengju was about to raise his hand to hit Guan Peiyu again, Guan Yalin said, "Grandpa, Xiaoyu is still a child and not sensible, so you can't keep hitting him."

"Stop talking," Guan Peng said angrily, "I haven't talked about you yet, just take a look at you, you are already the same age as Xiaoning, you know how to laugh and laugh all day long, hanging out with your lonely friends , not doing a proper job, like you, how can Xiaoning like you, "

Guan Pengju's words were based on the parents of the two families back then, but Guan Yalin didn't know about it. She was trying to persuade the fight, but she didn't expect to get involved, and said angrily, "I still don't like him. , Besides, I’m always joking and laughing all day long, and I don’t have lonely friends anymore.” After speaking, he shook his hand, stopped eating, turned around and ran into his room, and closed the door with a slam.

Lin Rushi also took the opportunity to take her son into her room and closed the door.

"Jianguo, let's see what kind of sons and daughters you teach," Guan Pengju snorted coldly at Guan Jianguo, "If you don't teach them, you won't know what they will be like, hmph."

Guan Jianguo stood up immediately, and listened to his father's reprimand politely, without daring to answer a word.

Li Xiaoning also panicked, and came to celebrate his birthday by himself, but as soon as he entered the house, he made the family at odds, can it not be embarrassing?

"Xiaoning, you come into the study with me, I have something to tell you, Jianguo, you come in too," Guan Pengju said to Li Xiaoning after training Guan Jianguo,
