The old man was drunk as usual and was carried into the room by the guards to rest. This time, the guards were not as unscrupulous as last year. After eating and drinking, they hurriedly arranged for two people to stand guard. At this time last year, Chen Xiao
After standing guard all night, all the guards regretted it.
On the first day of the new year, the old man got up early. For no other reason than on the first day of the new year, all the men in the family had to get up early, and the women had to go to bed very late before getting up. There were no women in the Chen family, only the men.
The old man sat in the living room reading a book early, and the heating made people feel particularly comfortable. It was only half past seven when Chen Xiao got up, and the sky was just getting dark outside.
"Happy New Year, grandpa!" Chen Xiao finished washing and walked to the living room with a smile on his face. This guy put on a straight military uniform for the first time. This military uniform has been hidden in his room for many years. Now,
When he put it on, it fit him perfectly. This military uniform belonged to his father. His father was determined to embark on the road of seeking revenge, so he kept this military uniform.
"Well!" The old man showed a touch of relief on his face, and then said, "Come have some breakfast with me."
"Yes!" Chen Xiao looked very handsome and majestic in his military uniform, with only the rank of major on his shoulders. As a member of a military family, Chen Xiao had already obtained the rank of major when he turned eighteen.
At that time, he was still a leader in the army and was recommended to study at the Mossad Military Academy. Several years passed in the blink of an eye.
The old man also put on a brand-new general uniform, with three golden five-pointed stars on his shoulders, which looked very eye-catching. After all, we are a military family, and we must wear military uniforms during the New Year. In previous years, the old man forced Chen Xiao to wear it, but then Chen Xiao ran away from home.
, the old man stopped doing such forced things. What he didn't expect was that Chen Xiao actually wore it himself this year, which moved the old man slightly.
Breakfast is vegetables and tofu. The old man smiled and said: "Xiao'er, do you know why you eat vegetables and tofu as the first meal of the New Year?"
"Because this is a warning to us to be pure and innocent in our lives!" Chen Xiao grinned.
"Well, very good. It seems that you haven't forgotten what I told you before!" The old man nodded with satisfaction and said: "Actually, it's not just that. Eating vegetables and tofu also teaches us to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and to cultivate hard work.
The spirit of simplicity cannot be wasted just because life is better. This is wrong!"
"Grandpa is right!" Chen Xiao nodded.
"Okay, after eating, let's go walk around the red wall!" The old man ate two bowls of white rice, put down his bowl and chopsticks and told Chen Xiao: "As I said before, talk less and see more when you go there, and don't act like a fool.
green!"
"Yes!" Chen Xiao nodded hurriedly.
On the first day of the new year, the sun was shining brightly outside. The early morning sunshine always gives people a feeling of vitality. Chen Xiao was full of hope and beauty, and walked out with small steps. As soon as he walked out, Zeng Fan was wearing a black woolen suit.
The coat has been waiting outside for a long time. The boy was pacing in place. It was two degrees below zero outside and the wind was strong. Chen Xiao asked curiously: "Why don't you come in?"
"Fuck, Chen Xiao, you're out!" Zeng Fan looked at Chen Xiao and said with great joy, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Look at you, you are swearing on the first day of the new year!" Chen Xiao frowned.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you Happy New Year!" Zeng Fan smiled awkwardly and said hurriedly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't believe me, just ask them!"
"Come on, what are you waiting for me to do?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.
"Of course I plan to go to Zhongnanhai with you!" Zeng Fan laughed.
Chen Xiao was stunned. He immediately understood Zeng Fan's intention. However, he did not say it out loud, but asked: "Then why don't you come in? It's so cold outside."
"Aren't I afraid of your old man?" Zeng Fan said awkwardly: "I have been afraid of your old man since I was a child, and I still can't change this habit. When I see him, I tremble all over and my legs become weak. Your old man is really
It’s amazing.”
Poof...
The guard on the side couldn't help laughing. He suppressed his laughter, but finally couldn't hold it back. Chen Xiao also couldn't help laughing. Is the old man really so powerful? Why didn't he feel it? Chen Xiao said with a smile: "
Let’s go!”
"Okay!" Zeng Fan hurriedly followed Chen Xiao. As he walked, the boy complained: "I don't understand, why do we have to go there every year? There are some central government bosses inside. See you.
They were so scared that their legs were weak. But I have to go in and be scared once a year."
"You don't have to go, there are so many people and no one will remember you!" Chen Xiao said with a smile.
"That won't work!" Zeng Fan hurriedly shook his head and said: "My old man said that when you go, you must attract the attention of the chief and let the chief appreciate you, so that you will have the opportunity to step into the path of benevolence in the future. Alas, I just remembered a sentence now
, It’s really not easy for people who play politics.”
"It's not easy to play anything!" Chen Xiao replied: "Even playing with women can lead to kidney failure, and playing business can easily lead to bankruptcy... Being a human being is not easy, and living in this world is a kind of hardship."
"That's true!" Zeng Fan nodded and said, "Hey, Chen Xiao, how do I find that you are very different every time you come back?"
The two of them walked into Zhongnanhai unknowingly, and before they could wait, a lot of people had already gathered inside. On the first day of the new year, all ministerial-level bosses were hanging around inside, gathering in groups.
Talking about their children, some are not living up to expectations, and some are living up to expectations. There are not a few people who have gone abroad. Moreover, many people’s children have immigrated overseas. The current national situation is: a group of American parents are sketching the development of China.
Blueprint; a group of people who do not have to pay pensions are investigating to allow contributors to postpone the enjoyment of public accumulation; a group of people who enjoy full medical insurance are carrying out medical reform.
When you are young, you compete with your parents, and when you grow up, you compete with your children. People spend almost their entire lives comparing themselves to others. In fact, this is all caused by vanity.
At this time, President Xi and several big bosses arrived belatedly. Everyone congratulated each other, expressed concern and blessing to each other, and today's trip to Zhongnanhai kicked off. Chen Xiao, wearing a straight military uniform, stood in the crowd
It looked particularly eye-catching, so it quickly attracted ****'s attention.
"Haha, are you finally willing to put on this military uniform?" **** laughed.
"Protect your home and country!" Chen Xiao hurriedly threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray aside.
"Good boy, I finally figured it out!" **** patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, follow me and sit inside!"
Chen Xiao was not polite, but he took Zeng Fan by the way. Zeng Fan was ecstatic, it seemed that he had followed Chen Xiao correctly today, he followed behind Chen Xiao and ****.
Just like last year, Chen Xiao was still sitting next to ****, which attracted everyone's attention. However, what surprised everyone was that there was actually Zeng Fan sitting next to Chen Xiao. Everyone suddenly exclaimed
, the old man of the Zeng family is really treacherous, he actually knows how to use Chen Xiao's connections to put that boy in his family in power? Is this really a big deal?
At this time, Wang Ziqiang was sitting opposite Chen Xiao. After all, Wang Ziqiang was the direct grandson of a certain big boss in the central government. After all, his status was actually similar to that of Chen Xiao. But in terms of real power, the army in the hands of Mr. Chen
It was indeed bluffing. The two sat face to face, their eyes facing each other. Wang Ziqiang's eyes were wide open, as if he was competing with Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao smiled lightly, his eyes were clear and transparent, and he looked indifferent to the world.
Every word and deed between the two people was clearly seen by dozens of people at the scene. The leaders were not stupid, so they naturally understood the contradiction between the two people. After looking at the two people, **** couldn't help but feel sorry for the Wang family.
The boy shook his head. That boy was sharp and sharp. He didn't look like a good person. Chen Xiao was hiding deep. In front of so many people, this guy still acted very calm and had an expression of being indifferent to the world.
, which is really satisfying.
The most important thing is that this boy knows how to get along with others. Last year, this boy almost offended all the young masters in the capital, but this year, this boy actually got along with that boy from the Zeng family. At least it shows that Chen Xiao also knows something.
**** knows how to behave in the world, but he doesn't show it on his face.
The boy Zeng Fan was sitting in front, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. He knew that this position was not easy to sit in, but in order to complete the task assigned to him by the old man, and his father was still sitting by the door, he was looking very excited.
Looking at himself, he seems to have seen his son's path to benevolence. Any young man who can be remembered by **** will always be able to successfully embark on the path of benevolence in the end. Even if he does not enter the path of benevolence, he can still succeed in the path of benevolence
Development in other aspects went smoothly.
We sat there for more than an hour, everyone was chatting and laughing, and there was no one coming and going.
Chen Xiao escaped by peeing, and before leaving, he winked at Zeng Fan, and Zeng Fan hurriedly followed Chen Xiao. When Zeng Fan ran away, he was panicked, turned his head and glanced at ****, and then
He ran away quickly, causing everyone to burst into laughter. **** also laughed, and no one would care about the two children. Zeng Fan's father was so angry that his face turned blue, and he looked at himself
That unsatisfactory son wanted to kick him to death. Why didn't he shoot him against the wall in the first place?
"It's so dangerous!" Zeng Fan followed Chen Xiao all the way out of Zhongnanhai, and the two stood on the streets of Chang'an. Zeng Fan clapped his chest and said, "Scared me to death, Chen Xiao, you will hurt me badly this time."
Now, I will definitely be beaten up by my old man when I go back!"
"No!" Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Your old man may even praise you when you go back!"
"Go, stop talking nonsense!" Zeng Fan glared at Chen Xiao and said, "I saw my father's expression when I left. He wanted to kill me. He will definitely have to complain to my old man when he goes back. Maybe it will end in the end.
