The two old men talked about many things, from the war decades ago to the ups and downs of the political arena decades later. They recalled the old friends who had passed away one after another over the years, and couldn't help sighing. After a hundred years of life, one should be
Hitting the water, Mr. Ning and Mr. Su have done this in their lives. They are the founding fathers of the Republic and have witnessed the country grow from scratch, from poverty to prosperity today.
Compared with ordinary people, they care more about the development trend of the country and try to use their own strength to guide the momentum towards their ideal country... However, they are old and their heroes are late, but they still worry about the country and the people.
Mr. Ning said in a deep voice: "There has been a lot of commotion in the southwest recently. The Liao family has made drastic changes, but the public resentment is boiling."
Mr. Su sighed softly: "Young man Liao is a talent, but he is a little too strong. As the old saying goes, if you are strong and easy to break, you may have to fall."
Mr. Ning nodded and said: "According to the overall situation in the current political arena, in the next five or even ten years, I am afraid that the Tang family will stand out."
Su Laodao: "Although the second son of the Tang family is not the most outstanding, his character and style are upright, so he is a good candidate. It's just that his age is a bit too high. Now that the country emphasizes younger cadres, it may be a little bit difficult to be the number one.
Not as good as."
Mr. Ning also thought the same way and said: "No. 1 and No. 2 are just rankings. The marriage relationship between the Tang family and the Cao family has already destined the Republic to move towards the Tang era."
Mr. Su smiled and said, "You and Lao Cao have always been at odds. Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
Mr. Ning scolded him angrily: "Old Cao looks dull, but he is actually as smart as a fool. He saw that the Tang family has the potential to make progress, so he went for it."
A look of loneliness appeared on Mr. Su's face, and he said, "Old Cao made a right decision before he died."
Mr. Ning's expression dimmed and he said, "We don't have much time left. The fate of our country and our country will ultimately be in the hands of young people."
Mr. Su's face showed a solemn look and he said: "There are so many factions now. We have enough ambition but not enough power."
Ning Lao said in a deep voice: "The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. Factions have been standing for a long time, and when they unite, the alliance between the Tang family and the Cao family is a signal light. In the later period, there will definitely be conflicts between the factions.
Let's join forces to fight for the right to speak."
Mr. Su showed a knowing look on his face and said: "Old Ning, Ning, and the Su family will stand together from now on."
Mr. Ning nodded and said, "The Su family is in charge of the government, and the Ning family is in charge of the army?"
Mr. Su sighed softly: "Yes." Although Mr. Su was born in the military, he slowly turned to politics after liberation, so his control over the military was obviously not as good as that of the Ning family.
Mr. Ning paused slightly and reminded: "There is a prerequisite for this."
Mr. Su smiled and said, "Are you sure you accept that boy Zhicheng?"
Mr. Ning nodded and said: "Looking at the direct bloodline of your Su family, the only choice is Zhicheng boy. You didn't give me too many opportunities."
Ning Lao took the initiative to reach out his hand and said: "Then it's settled?"
Mr. Ning laughed softly and said, "It's a deal!"
The two old men chatted for four or five hours in the old house of Ning's family in Yunhai. They were both old enough to know their destiny. They had many stories in their hearts, but they suffered from having no confidants to talk to. Now that they had the opportunity, it was natural for them to talk to each other.
Very happy. They all strive for this rare opportunity to meet, because there may not be a chance to meet next time.
Of course, for the two factions of Ning and Su, the conversation between the two old men today has another meaning. The Ning family and the Su family have entered a level of comprehensive cooperation. Although the Su family is now silent, if there is a military force like the Ning family,
Fang Daliu echoes each other from afar, and can form an appeal and influence that is not weaker than any faction.
Mr. Ning personally put Mr. Su into the car. Mr. Su waved to Mr. Ning, then closed the window, closed his eyes, and sighed heavily. Meng Xishan asked: "Where are we going now?"
Mr. Su said: "Go to Yinzhou and see that woman who is kind to the Su family."
Meng Xishan was slightly startled, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The vehicle started slowly, and Mr. Su seemed to be talking to himself: "Life is like a fleeting moment, it just happened suddenly. Some things are caused by me, and they must be solved with my own hands."
Meng Xishan sighed. He knew the old chief very well. He was a man who did not move lightly and was good at strategizing. But now he had rushed from Xijing to the sea of clouds. This fully showed that the old chief had no idea about his physical condition.
Confidence. Old chief, this is the afterglow that ignites life. Are you trying to grab time?
Yunhai is very close to Yinzhou, and it takes more than 40 minutes to drive there. Mr. Ning came to Poqiao Cemetery, stood in front of the tomb for a long time, and then bowed deeply, "Thank you for cultivating students with all your heart and soul over the years.
Such an outstanding young man.”
When Meng Xishan saw Mr. Su bowing to her, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart...
The Spring Festival usually does not officially end until the 18th, so the streets still have the aftertaste of the New Year. Red lanterns are hung on both sides of the streets, but the popularity is not too popular. This is also normal. Yunhai is an international metropolis, gathering
Talents from all over the country are always busy with traffic, but during a long holiday like the Spring Festival, it will become an empty city.
I came to a Xishi tea restaurant. It was not very deserted inside. There were a few tables with foreigners sitting in groups. The Spring Festival is a festival for the Chinese people, and it has nothing to do with foreigners like them.
Ning Xiangxiang ordered a cup of coffee, and Fang Zhicheng ordered a cup of black tea.
Fang Zhicheng suddenly remembered something and asked: "I want to ask you about someone, how is Lu Wanyu recently?"
Ning Xianghua was slightly startled and asked with a smile: "Isn't she your sister? Why did you ask me about her?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled awkwardly and said, "We suddenly lost contact. I haven't heard from her for a long time. I just want to know if she is okay."
Ning Xiangxiang took a deep look at Fang Zhicheng and said: "Wanyu is a very good girl. She handled the previous golf course project well, so the company considered that she is extremely talented in project management, so she let her
Went abroad for further studies."
"So you went abroad?" Fang Zhicheng sighed. No wonder he sent her a text message, but she never responded.
Ning Xiangxiang nodded and said: "Actually, I talked with her. She was a little hesitant when she went abroad to study. People are a little uneasy when they leave their hometown. But in the end I convinced her."
Fang Zhicheng sighed softly and said, "This little girl went abroad without telling me."
Ning Xiangxiang took a serious look at Fang Zhicheng and said, "You are good at everything, but you are too carefree."
Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Don't get me wrong, Wanyu and I are just friends."
Ning Xianghua shook her head and sighed: "It's not normal to be so enthusiastic about a friend."
Fang Zhicheng felt that there was something wrong with Ning Xianghua's tone, so he smiled and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, are you jealous?"
Ning Xiangxiang was startled for a moment, and then a red cloud bloomed on her cheeks, "What are you talking about? I'm just reminding you from the perspective of a friend, you should pay attention to your life style. After all, you are an official. I don't know that most officials are dismissed because of their lovers.
?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his finger and said with a smile: "The official's dismissal is probably not because of his lover, but it can only be said that it is because of his lover."
Ning Xiangxiang chewed his words for a moment, then spread her hands and said, "You, stop making excuses. Do you know why my grandfather wants to see you?"
Fang Zhicheng wondered: "Why?"
Ning Xiangxiang said: "You don't know. Grandpa has already taken a fancy to you and wants to betroth his little sister to you. Grandpa Su came here today, presumably to talk to grandpa about you two." When Ning Xiangxiang said this,
His tone was a bit stiff and his facial expression was unnatural.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't know about this. However, I did not agree to this, and it is absolutely impossible with your little sister. If they want to interfere in my life, they have to listen to my opinion, right?"
Ning Xiangxiang persuaded: "Zhicheng, don't be naive. Since both families think this marriage is okay, why not give it a try? For you, returning to the Su family and adding the support of the Ning family will make you stand out in the officialdom.
You can become more comfortable in the world.”
Fang Zhicheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "Sister Vanilla, you still don't understand me very well. I don't think the so-called future is very important. I think people should be more straightforward in life."
Ning Xiangxiang knew that Fang Zhicheng was a person with free will. If she continued to persuade him like this, she would get twice the result with half the effort and would not be able to achieve good results. She couldn't help but frown and shook her head slightly.
Fang Zhicheng knew that Ning Xiangxiang's thoughts were good, and realized that he had just hurt her heart, and joked: "Sister Xiangxiang, why don't you go back and tell Mr. Ning like this? Ning Xiaomei, forget it, if he is willing to send Ning Er
If the girl marries me, I can consider accepting it."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng making fun of herself, Ning Xianghua opened her beautiful eyes and showed an angry look on her face. Fang Zhicheng did not feel dissatisfied and met Ning Xiangxiang's eyes. In the end, Ning Xianghua couldn't resist Fang Zhicheng's shamelessness and lowered her head.
, changed the subject and said: "Zhicheng, don't make such jokes in the future. I treat you as a younger brother. If you still do this, then I can only stay away from you."
The relationship with Ning Xiangxiang was originally aloof and somewhat ambiguous. Fang Zhicheng did not expect Ning Xiangxiang's reaction to be so direct this time and to speak so solemnly. He suddenly understood that in Ning Xiangxiang's heart, he had become her brother-in-law.
In other words, Fang Zhicheng has been branded as Ning Xiaomei, so how can Ning Xiangxiang be ambiguous with her brother-in-law?
Fang Zhicheng said in an unusually solemn tone: "Sister Vanilla, what I told you just now is the truth. There is really no possibility for me and Ning Qiangwei. The reason why I met her on a blind date is for your sake. I hope
, we can still be the same confidante we talked about everything in the future."
