Chapter 160 Five

In the next time, Shen Lang and his grandfather will live in peace, everyone, you don't touch me, I will not provoke you, and the two sides will not test each other, Shen Lang will still take advantage of Saturday noon when he has time When I meet my grandpa, I will have a meal together. If I don’t meet him, it’s fine, but after dinner, I must go back home at night, not like my brother and sister. Yes, sometimes he will stay there overnight, it seems that Shen Lang used to have this habit too.

During the May Day holiday, Shen Lang went to the second uncle's place with Zhu Nan for the purpose of relaxation, and stayed for seven days. During the period, he exchanged some financial issues with Hart, accompanied by his cousin After a good trip, of course, I also spent a few days eating and drinking at my second uncle's house.

Although the second uncle is very busy and the time he can spare is very limited, he came back specially the night before Shen Lang left. After dinner, Ma Yunfang, Ma Tianmin and Shen Lang were in a small room. Sitting and chatting in his study, chatting is just a wedge, in order to draw out the following topics.

"Xiaolang, the old man must have disclosed this information to you. Although I heard that the two of you quarreled again, I don't think my father didn't ask for your opinion, or he had already indirectly contacted you from other rooms. I've verified it, I don't know anything else about you, but you are definitely an expert in this economic aspect, and even the old man dare not underestimate him."

Shen Lang shook his head, "Second Uncle, I'd really feel a little silly if you praised me like this again. Besides, I would be ashamed to care about grandpa, because I was punished a lot for this matter, but it's still grandpa My lord has a large number, although I didn’t say it on the surface, but at least I didn’t kick me out when I came to the door now.”

Ma Yunfang also laughed angrily at his nephew's words. Of course he could hear the irony in Shen Lang's words, but he really didn't feel good about this matter. He was the only one in the family other than his parents and Uncle Zhang. People who know the whole story don't want to comment on the right and wrong of this matter now. There are reasons why the son doesn't talk about the father's faults, and there are feelings and emotions that are difficult to describe.

Seeing that his second uncle did not continue, Shen Lang also knew that this topic should not be continued, he turned to look at his cousin and said, "Cousin Tianmin, you don't have any opinions on this matter, or more To put it bluntly, what kind of position do you need in the future? Can you give me a reference in the future?"

After Shen Lang finished speaking, Ma Yunfang also looked at his son. There are no outsiders in this room. This is the best moment to understand his thoughts. Maybe this conversation is useless, but no one can guarantee that it will It will not be a turning point in his life.It is one thing that Shen Lang is not liked by the old man, but he is also very clear that sometimes the old man will think twice about Shen Lang's words, because he is worthy of the old man in some aspects.

Ma Tianmin was also in a trance, but he quickly adjusted himself. Although he didn't quite understand his cousin's position in the family, he was very clear that if it wasn't his cousin's money back then, he would have lost it now. I’m afraid I don’t even know there. It’s not something anyone can do to gather such a large amount of wealth under the eyes of grandpa. To put it bluntly, they don’t even want you to carry your shoes.

"Dad, Xiaolang, if I had to choose, I don't want to be at a high level from the beginning. No matter what aspect it is, I didn't understand this truth at the beginning, and I only got this aspect after what happened last time." I am very touched. Without a solid foundation, the result in the future will be the same as the last time. This lesson is already tragic enough. I would rather work hard for a few more years, and would rather spend my time in training than Hope to waste time in remorse."

No matter what Shen Lang thinks, anyway, Ma Yunfang feels very happy. In the past, he would only talk in exaggeration. The Tianmin who talked on paper has disappeared, and what is left is his son who has been tempered and recognized the facts. Everything else should be happy and happy, and there is nothing more happy than seeing your son make progress. This is completely viewed from the perspective of a father.

Shen Lang glanced at his second uncle, "You can go to Hart tomorrow! But he is rather old-fashioned, and he won't be special because you are the second uncle's son or my cousin. It will be even more profitable, and the people under him are basically the same, but if you work hard, you can learn a lot from him, which may benefit you for a lifetime, at least I learned from him Lots and lots of stuff."

Seeing that his son's matter had been resolved, Ma Yunfang turned around and asked about the matter just now, "Xiaolang, what kind of arrangement does the old man have for the matter over there?" My son moved his arm a little bit, "Tianmin, go and brew the tea that your aunt brought last time."

After seeing his cousin go out, a slight smile appeared on Shen Lang's face, "Second Uncle, it's not that you can't see Grandpa's layout, it's just that you don't want to talk about it, so I'll pick it up here The topic is over. Grandpa just turned 63 this year, but speaking of it is a bit against the national birth plan. Although this age seems to be quite young, compared to the national leaders, this age is not particularly old."

"Yes! My father and mother got married relatively early, and your aunt and I were the same, but it was like this at that time, it was inevitable. Now it seems that the situation has changed in your generation. It seems that we are getting married at the age of 20. It's late, but for you now, 20 years old is too early to get married. The change of the times can be seen clearly from this point.

Regarding the second uncle's teasing, Shen Lang did not reveal any meaning, but continued to say: "Grandpa is not very old, and the future is still bright for a while. Now it depends on how grandpa wants to go. Uncle, do you take this step forward or grandpa take this step forward? Considering all aspects, I think it is better for grandpa to take one step forward. If it is second uncle, you take this step forward, this situation is not very good Wonderful."

"Yes!" Ma Yun put his hands on the position on his chest, "If my father was always on the position or took a step up, I would be an executive deputy governor at most, basically there would be no Changes. If my father comes down now, then I will directly go to the ministries and commissions, experience two years of experience to cultivate the overall situation, and then I will be the chief official of the frontier, and then I will see how I go in the future!"

"I think so. If there are no mistakes, it will basically look like this. But when I talk about this, I have a little admiration for the public. The calculation is too powerful. Second uncle, you are waiting for ten One year's work is only in his early 50s, and the officials in the frontier will only be in their early 60s in ten years. At that time, both my cousin and my brother are just 40 years old. I hope I won't respond to that. An old saying!"

After listening to Shen Lang's emotion, Ma Yunfang also felt such a coldness from the bottom of his heart. If Shen Lang is in his position now, then he sees things so clearly and clearly, and he can accept it. Some, but now he is just a 20-year-old kid. To put it bluntly, the 'milk' smell and fluff on his body haven't disappeared yet?How could he see so clearly and clearly!It's so scary.

Now that it has reached this level, Ma Yunfang also feels that there is no need to play sloppy eyes with his nephew. If he is still like this, maybe his nephew will be dissatisfied. The effect is not good, so Ma Yunfang said very directly: "Since this is the case, then this matter cannot be borne by our family and your family. The elder brother can reach out, but I don't know if my father will Don't have any other ideas?"

Shen Lang pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "I think there is a possibility, this matter will not let you reach out to Second Uncle, there are violations, and there will be too much for your progress in the future Uncle's situation is going to be worse, and if you don't let people in the family 'intervene' in, I'm afraid some people will be worried." Shen Lang didn't name anyone who would be worried about this matter. "In addition, I checked it when I went back. In addition to the geographical location and other aspects of the place where my uncle is very superior, my grandfather also fought there for a long time. It has a relatively good mass base and power base. Relatively Said it will be much more stable.”

"Yes! I think so too. But who will be in charge of this is a problem. Tianyu and Tianlei are actually not much older than you. Although they learned something earlier, they are not uncles like me. It’s because they don’t have that foundation yet, they’re too far behind. Father probably won’t place them in any position, Tianmin has already been a lesson!”

Shen Lang snorted when he heard this, "I don't care? I made it very clear to my grandfather at the beginning that this matter has nothing to do with me at all. What benefits do I seek for myself? In the end, I don’t want to wade into this muddy water. If I’m forced to go into the water, I’ll make it impossible for anyone to catch fish. Not so absolute."

Looking at his nephew's attitude, Ma Yunfang knew that if he continued talking to him, he might become even more impatient.But looking at this moment in front of me is also a bit funny. I am also a dignified deputy governor. How many people stand uneasy in front of me, but my nephew has no such scruples at all. It seems that my black face In his eyes, it's just a mask, this kid!Hi!Ma Yunfang sighed regretfully.

"By the way, Second Uncle, I'm going back tomorrow. Do you want to bring something to the house? It seems that the things that Cousin Tianmin brought back last time were good, let's try some more!"

Faced with this nephew who bluntly beat him up, Ma Yunfang really felt very speechless, but he felt at ease when he thought about it. This guy was always fighting against his father in his father's room. What else is there to do? What did he not dare to do?Besides, this matter is not about corruption, taking bribes, breaking the law, or dereliction of duty.

"Okay, you've already said it. It's not easy for me to refuse to be an uncle. Your aunt has already prepared it when you came, but you have to prepare some other things for your grandma and grandpa, so it has been delayed for a while. I'll take it with you when you leave tomorrow."

Shen Lang was sent back to the hotel by his cousin, Tian Min looked at his cousin who was an old god and said jokingly: "Xiao Lang, when will you learn to smile! I feel cold all over, what will you do if you find a girlfriend in the future!"

Shen Lang let out a sigh, what he was thinking about now was not finding a girlfriend or anything, what he said just now in the second uncle's room touched him a lot.It's not that the second uncle doesn't understand these things, on the contrary, the second uncle understands many things very well. It turned out that he underestimated his uncle.

But at that time, I was at the time when my blood was surging, and I was not afraid of anything, so how could I notice these.Now maybe I am getting older, and my life experience is gradually increasing. Maybe I will see farther in the future, but I can only look like this at the first stage, and this thing cannot be formed in a short time.

However, I have found out some opinions from my second uncle. At first, I thought that my grandfather would go to the elderly directly after finishing this term, but now the situation has changed a lot. It has become wider, and it seems that within the next ten years, Grandpa will gradually move towards the core position.

But this is exactly what Shen Lang is puzzled about. Grandpa definitely didn't come up with this idea out of a momentary impulse, but since grandpa saw this road, why did he pull the second uncle up?He would not be unaware that this violated the taboo of officialdom, and this kind of situation is basically not seen in Chinese officialdom.What is the reason for this? Why did the grandfather insist on asking the second uncle to promote the bidding, and why did the second uncle fight for this routine?He would not have considered this aspect in the past!

What is hidden in it, my head is a bit messed up now.The second uncle seems to be the same as himself. He is also confused. He doesn't understand what grandpa is thinking at all.

However, his cousin's words interrupted his thoughts all of a sudden, Shen Lang looked at his cousin for a long time before he took his thoughts out of what happened just now. "Now I don't think much about this matter. I come from a martial arts background, and there are a lot of taboos about some aspects. It will be fine when I reach a certain age."

It may be that he was a bit distracted when he saw Shen Lang's appearance, and Ma Tianmin didn't say too much, but when he sent Shen Lang to the hotel and was about to leave, Shen Lang still called his cousin, "It's a bit late today, tomorrow Come here early in the morning, and I will help you introduce it. But I still have to say something again, Hart is very rigid, and if he wants to be under his command, he must be able to withstand grievances."

Ma Tianmin smiled slightly, "Xiaolang, I have known and understood a lot of things since what happened last time, don't worry, if I make things difficult for you in the future, I will leave automatically."

After returning home, Ma Tianmin found that his father was still in the study, he was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking about. Looking at the tea that was still there on the table, Ma Tianmin went out to make another cup for his father. Hot tea, this is my father's habit, whether it's Sanjiu or Sanfu, my father likes to hold a cup of hot tea.However, I only started to gradually understand my father's habit since last year. Sometimes Ma Tianmin was a little suspicious, what did my previous self do?

"Are you back?" Looking at the son who handed over the teacup, Ma Yunfang also showed a loving smile. In the past, he doted on him, but sometimes he felt very upset when he saw him, but since that incident After the incident, the child seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person overnight, even thinking about it now feels a little unbelievable.

"Well, I'll send Xiaolang back to the hotel and come back. I'll see Mr. Hart tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Ma Tianmin looked at his father and said, "When I sent Xiaolang back just now, I found that he seemed a little out of his mind. I made a joke, he didn't respond for a long time, is there something wrong?"

Ma Yunfang looked up at his son, pinched his forehead with his hand, and then said slowly: "Actually, you look at Xiaolang's appearance is very glamorous, but in fact, deep down, you don't know why you are depressed? It's just that you see That's all. But there is one thing I'm worried about, Xiaolang is a little too smart, I don't really want him to be so exhausted, it would be bad if he really hurt his body."

"Probably not! Xiaolang is from a martial arts background. I heard that he is still a closed disciple of Grandpa Zhao. Just now he explained to me specifically that he has no special preference for tobacco and alcohol, and he is also very self-satisfied. If it were me, I can hardly imagine why he would live such a life like an ascetic?"

"Hey, you don't understand!"
