Compared with Tang Lin's side, where the special forces are on alert at all times to protect and protect the enemy, the atmosphere in the Huang family's bungalow is surprisingly good. There is no outsider unless the door is closed. At this moment, the old man, Peng Guoxing, and Liang Xiaoying are sitting around.
In front of the table, we were eating hot pot and chatting in a calm manner, not caring about what was happening outside or in Jiujing City.
They first talked about the weather. Peng Guoxing started the conversation in a completely joking tone, "Old Chief, people say that dragons bring wind and tigers bring rain. Before I came here, I checked the meteorological data of Zhongzhou in the past 20 years. The data showed that
nearly 20 years
The amount of rainfall is the total of the previous 40 years. When you came, you really brought the rain, haha." Peng Guoxing has always been a humble man, and this kind of loud laughter is extremely rare, which shows that he is really happy. Even the Peng family is ugly.
to hear.
"Teacher Liang, you know the most about metaphysics. Do you think what I said makes sense?" Peng Guoxing was not willing to be happy alone, so he directly dragged Liang Xiaoying in, who was relatively quiet. The old man just smiled honestly, speaking in front of others.
It was uncomfortable for him to speak freely and not to use bad words, but he still paid a little attention in front of these two juniors, and there was no need to try not to use bad words!
Liang Xiaoying looked up at the violent storm outside the window and listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof. It took her a long time to speak, "The power of dragons and tigers, violent storms, naturally complement each other. The same is true of the Western butterfly theory. This matter
It doesn’t have to be explained by metaphysics, because if something has to be deliberately leaned in a certain direction, it will lose its authenticity.”
"In the 1970s, when explaining the air system theory, an American meteorologist named Lorenz said that the occasional vibration of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest might cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.
"
"The butterfly effect means that very small changes in initial conditions will have a huge difference in its future state after continuous amplification. Some small things can be confusing, but if some small things are systematically amplified, they will be very harmful to an organization or a country.
What's important can't be confused."
Peng Guoxing definitely understood the butterfly effect, but the old man didn't fully understand it because he didn't care about these things at all, so Liang Xiaoying emphasized it again.
The old man ate and listened, and the food was very delicious and rich. He was too old to cook the hot pot, but everyone was not allowed to eat it, but he cooked the vegetables he grew by himself, and cooked the tofu made by Zhao Bing himself. The soybeans used to make the tofu were the old man's last year.
Harvested by hand. So it is of great significance, and even though the old man is so old, he has good teeth, and he can eat some of the best natural beef and mutton.
The weakest person here is not the old man who just had a major operation but Liang Xiaoying. However, Liang Xiaoying has recovered very quickly since she moved into the Huang Family Courtyard. Her schedule is very regular, getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning and 10 o'clock in the evening.
She slept for 10 hours, and then spent most of her time working in the old man's vegetable greenhouse. At first, everyone was worried that her body would not be able to bear it, but gradually they discovered that proper physical labor was very beneficial to her, and was more effective than some of the special medicines in the hospital.
.
Of course, the old man would not stop her from working in the vegetable greenhouse. He was the one who looked down on life and death the most. So the first day he saw Liang Xiaoying, he said, live when you deserve to live, die when you deserve to die, so as not to suffer and be dragged down.
The younger generation, Liang Xiaoying, was convinced of this and accepted it happily. The old man said, if you think my place is good for growing vegetables, then you can stay. It will be convenient for that boy Tang Lin and the girl named Huang.
Liang Xiaoying did not agree to this point, and replied that she should think about it carefully. The old man couldn't help scolding her again, "You scholars are like ink. There are so many things to consider when considering where to go. After thinking about it, the cucumbers and vegetables are cold!" But no matter what!
Liang Xiaoying and Peng Guoxing laughed when they heard what he said. They were definitely not angry, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts. In front of others, they were academic leaders, professors, experts, and big shots, but in front of the old man, they were completely unqualified to speak loudly.
Juniors. Juniors through and through. To put it bluntly, sometimes their status in front of the old man is far less than that of Tang Lin. Because Tang Lin has a bad temper with the old man, he will casually bite the old man and even scold him when he gets angry.
Who among them dares? Looking at the whole of China, who dares? Not to mention that the old man is now back to full health, but who dares to scold the old man who is paralyzed in bed? Just kidding, that is really the rhythm of seeking death.
Peng Guoxing persuaded and said, "Which one of us can be as cool as you, the old leader? People are different!" The old man still complained and scolded his mother, "If you stay with me for a long time, I will definitely scold you. If you don't stay long, I will scold you."
, Tang Xiaozi is okay, no matter how I scold him, he is shameless. If I am not happy, I can still ask him to do a horse stance for me and do military boxing. When I fall asleep, I will let him stand guard and stand in a military posture. Oh, by the way,
You guys remember the agreement I made with Mr. Tang. After I die, no one else has to go. Every year on Army Day and National Day, just let that guy go to my grave and stand with me in a military posture for a day. You all remember it.
Let me watch..." Liang Xiaoying also relaxed a lot at this time and made a little joke, "Okay, but I have to make the old chief angry first!" The old man laughed after hearing this, and then suddenly
He asked mysteriously, "Xiao Liang, you know I never believe in those messy things, but how many more years do you think I can survive this?"
With a smile on her face, Liang Xiaoying looked at it seriously, then stretched out her right hand and flipped it twice. The old man laughed again, "You, they say Xiaoliang can't lie, and you are not lying now? Ten years?"
If I live for another ten years, I can look after my son. But speaking of Xiaoliang, when will the matter between Tang Xiaotou and Huang Yatou be done? Do we have to wait until I die? You are also a parent, you
Go ahead and hurry up, you’re not young anymore!”
Liang Xiaoying smiled and said nothing, while Peng Guoxing sighed a little, "Old chief, it's not my fault. Mayor Huang is indeed a good candidate, but I think Doudou is also quite suitable..."
The old man was stunned when he heard this, then waved his hands and sighed, "The two of them are destined but not destined, forget it, forget it!" Peng Guoxing did not give up, "I don't believe you don't think so, old chief?"
The old man glared at the boss, "What do I want? Doudou is too young and ignorant. Tang Xiaozi said that he has a girl he likes. Should I tie him up and marry him!"
Liang Xiaoying's heart moved when she heard this, really moved. This was actually a worry she had always had, or it was a knot between Tang Lin and Huang Ying that she could see. So she didn't speak, it was hard for her to speak, she
What can be said? What Peng Guoxing said now was also helping her test the old man's final wishes.
Because the old man passed half of the mantle to Tang Lin, and Tang Lin no longer wears a military uniform. It would be okay if Tang Lin still wears a military uniform, but now he accepts the mantle of the old man without wearing a military uniform. So what is the most suitable identity? Of course.
Relatives and family are the most suitable ones, and of course marrying Huang Doudou is the most suitable one.
The old man squinted his eyes and asked for a welding cigarette. The doctor didn't let him smoke, but he couldn't quit, so he was allowed to smoke two cigarettes a month. Although he had a bad temper and loved to curse and hit people, he kept his word, and this cigarette
It was the first one this month. The old man squinted his eyes and smoked quietly, and the room suddenly fell silent.
"This kid, Doudou, now only listens to Tang Xiaozi's words and doesn't even listen to mine. Hehe, it's a good thing, it's a good thing. I can close my eyes even if I die!"
Liang Xiaoying finally opened her mouth at this time, "Old Chief... I can see what happened to Tang Lin and Doudou... If the old chief is hard to talk to, then Teacher Peng and I will make it easier to talk to Huang Ying. This old chief
Don't worry!"
Unexpectedly, the old man immediately became excited and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough, you bastards! What are you going to do?" Seeing that the old man was really angry, the two of them quickly fell silent and stood up like elementary school students who had made a big mistake.
, trembling. However, time was running out and the old man waved his hands slowly, "Forget it, forget it, you are old too, sit down, sit down, this is my temper. Let these things take their course, then Huang Yatou will do the same.
Not bad, I like it too."
So no one dared to mention this matter again, but Liang Xiaoying was grateful to the old man from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she was determined to have a serious discussion with Tang Lin and Huang Ying about this matter. This was no small matter.
…
The hot pot is by no means an electric hot pot and pressure cooker, but an authentic charcoal and copper hot pot. The old man got excited about eating and talked about the hard days when he was a child, how his brother starved to death and how he survived. Then he picked it up.
Two pieces of tofu suddenly asked a very special question.
"By the way, you two, tell me, am I too selfish to let Mr. Tang stay in this village? Isn't it inappropriate? I think he is starting a company now, and it is right for young people to dare to start a business, but this
This shouldn't be his specialty. Tell me, I know you two have been holding back for a long time, tell me your opinions."
Peng Guoxing and Liang Xiaoying looked at each other meaningfully, and then it was up to Peng Guoxing to talk about the matter. Peng Guoxing did not rush, but ate some green vegetables and drank a sip of white wine. Yes, he occasionally drank two glasses, but he only drank it by himself.
, neither of the two patients in front of me can drink, he is the only one who is considered a good person.
"I have talked with Teacher Liang twice about this matter. If the old chief thinks so, then let him go to the county, to a national-level poverty-stricken county, and let him go there to prove himself. Old chief, you
I also know that the position of county magistrate is a position that affects the lives of the people and the fate of the country, but he is placed alone in a poor county that has not improved for decades and let him work hard, make a difference, and experience
More pressure and even failure will be the best training for him. The old chief is right. After all, letting him return to the village was just a temporary measure. After this period, he can be arranged to take office by the end of the year...
"
The old man squinted his eyes and took a bite of tofu, and then asked a seemingly strange question, "How old is Mr. Tang this year?" Liang Xiaoying replied quietly, "The first year is 25, and the Chinese New Year is 26. If you calculate it as 27, you can actually do it.
But if the old chief really has this plan, let him act as the village chief in the past few months..."
