There were a few familiar people standing next to Old Tang, but Liang Jian couldn't recognize who they were. Liang Jian walked over with his colorful clothes in his arms and stood next to Old Tang. A bald man who was about the same age as Old Tang immediately
She smiled and said, "My daughter is already so old." After saying that, she took a step forward, stretched out her hand to tease Nishang, and said with a smile, "Call me grandpa." Nishang looked at him, then at Liang Jian, well-behaved.
He called out "Grandpa". This crisp sound made the bald man smile with joy. He immediately raised his hand and touched his body for a while, then took off a dark green jade Guanyin hanging around his neck and tried to put it on his clothes.
Hang around the neck.
Old Tang was immediately shocked, held his hand and said, "Old Liu, what are you doing?"
When Liang Jian heard the surname Liu, he felt familiar. Looking at his face, Liang Jian suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was. He was a friend of Old Tang. What was his full name? Liang Jian never asked. He had only met him once.
, that was before he came to Taihe, and was in Yongzhou. It has been more than a year, and Uncle Liu has changed a lot. He has gained weight and shaved his head. And the other two, one
There is Uncle Lian and Uncle Yang, but they haven't changed much.
At this time, I heard Lao Liu say: "What are you doing? Your granddaughter calls me grandpa. I can make her call me grandpa in vain. There is no such rule." Lao Liu said that he was about to put the jade Guanyin into the neck of Nishang. Liang Jian hurriedly went to
Then he hid for a moment and said: "Uncle Liu, Nishang is right to call you grandpa. You'd better put this Jade Guanyin away."
When Uncle Liu saw Liang Jian calling him Uncle Liu, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to still remember me. But when you call him Uncle Liu, I have to give away this jade."
.”
Liang Jian still wanted to persuade, but Old Tang said: "Since you want to give this thing to Nishang, I have to make a deal with you first and you can't go back on it. Don't come back to me to ask for it back."
Old Liu had a straight face and said: "Am I this kind of person? After all these years, I, Old Liu, have given away very few things, but you have seen me take them back."
Next to him, Uncle Lian and Uncle Yang laughed silently. Old Tang also smiled slightly. It seems that this is not an unprecedented case of taking back something that Uncle Liu sent out. Liang Jian was preoccupied with Hu Xiaoying's matter, so he didn't pay attention.
The subtle expressions among the four of them.
Old Tang relaxed, and Liang Jian let him hang the jade Guanyin around Nishang's neck. Nishang held the jade Guanyin in front of her eyes with her two small hands, and looked at it again and again. She seemed to like it quite a lot.
"Do you like it?" Lao Liu asked her. Nishang nodded, suddenly raised her head, glanced at Lao Liu hastily, and said, "Thank you, grandpa."
The folds on Lao Liu's face almost squeezed out his eyes.
Liang Jian took a closer look at the Jade Guanyin. The color was emerald green. It should be a rare good material. I am afraid this thing is worth a lot of money. So, he whispered to Nishang to put it away. Nishang seemed to like the Jade Guanyin very much.
After hearing what Liang Jian said, he immediately stuffed the thing into his clothes, and then said to Lao Liu with a smile: "This way it won't fall off, thank you grandpa." After that, he patted the jade through his clothes.
Guanyin. Several people were amused by her appearance.
After chatting for a while, Old Tang asked Xiao Wu to take Nishang to another place to play, while Liang Jian stayed, obviously because he had something to say.
After Xiaowu and Nishang walked away, Old Tang pointed to the only old man in the group whom Liang Jian didn't recognize and introduced Liang Jian: "Liang Jian, his name is Uncle Hu."
Liang Jian called Uncle Hu. This man looked older than Old Tang and the others, with white hair and even the stubble on his chin. However, his eyes were bright and clear, and he seemed to be wearing something when he looked at people.
The power that penetrates people's hearts makes people afraid to look directly.
Uncle Hu was later introduced by Lao Tang, and Liang Jian found out that he was the director of the China Geological Survey and a well-known figure in international geology. Comrade Hu Jingran's profound knowledge in geology was something that few people could match. Moreover, he
He also has a close relationship with the current Minister of Land and Resources.
The relationship between Old Tang and this Hu Jingran seems to go back a long time. Old Tang, him, and the other three people seemed to have been soldiers together in the past. The relationship between the five of them can be seen in every word and every word.
Feel it in each word.
This time, Old Tang introduced Hu Jingran to Liang Jian, but it was because of the underground tomb he had discovered in Taihe. Hu Jingran asked Liang Jian several questions, and Liang Jian answered them truthfully. Hu Jingran seemed to learn from Liang Jian's answers.
I couldn't find any useful information, and there was a hint of disappointment on my face.
Not long after that, Hu Jingran answered the phone and left early.
After he left, Old Tang suddenly mentioned Liang Jian's return to Beijing in front of the other three people. Old Tang asked Liang Jian: "I have thought about it this time."
Liang Jian nodded: "I've thought about it."
Old Tang nodded lightly. Old Liu interjected: "It's good to come back. You should have come back a long time ago."
Uncle Lian sitting next to him answered: "Which department do you want to go to when you come back?"
Liang Jian has thought about this question for a long time. Ever since the idea of coming back appeared in Liang Jian's mind, this question has been wandering in Liang Jian's heart. And the answer had already been produced when he made the decision. He looked towards
Uncle Lian smiled and said, "I haven't decided on the work issue yet. I might go to the United States first."
Even uncle and the three of them were stunned. Old Tang knew more and immediately understood what Liang Jian meant. He glanced at Liang Jian and said nothing.
Seeing that Old Tang was silent, Lao Lian smiled and said, "It's best to rest for a while and sort things out."
So, this topic ended here. Liang Jian sat for a while and then went out to look for neon clothes.
After he left, the smiles on the faces of Old Tang and others stopped and became a little serious. After a while of silence, Old Liu broke the deadlock and said: "Old Tang, I just saw this guy Liang Jian.
I mean, it seems that I don’t plan to enter officialdom anymore.”
Old Tang's expression was rare and solemn, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lao Yang, who had been silent, sighed and said: "If he really doesn't want to take this road again, then don't force him. It's just a waste of our energy this year."
"If he really doesn't want to take this road, then let that boy from my family come." Lao Liu suddenly said. However, after he said that, Lao Lian immediately glared at him with disdain and said: "That boy from your family was killed.
Your wife is spoiled rotten. If he comes to take the path of Liang Jian, I guarantee that within a month, he will throw your old face on the ground. Do you believe it or not?"
Lao Liu smiled awkwardly and said: "That's what I said, why are you so serious?"
"If he really doesn't want to leave, Liu Yue can't give it a try." Old Tang suddenly spoke. Everyone else looked at Old Tang in surprise. Old Yang said: "It's not like you haven't seen Liu Yue's character before.
He can do it”
Old Tang said: "Something is better than nothing. We are all old. Wouldn't it be a pity if no one could take over what we have worked hard for so many years?"
The remaining people stopped talking. The scene fell into a solemn silence again.
After a long time, Lao Yang broke the silence and said: "Let's take a look first. On Liang Jian's side, Old Tang, you can give me some advice. On Liu Yue's side, Lao Liu, you are also a bit like a father, so take care of yourself.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Lian immediately said: "With his wife here, he can take care of it."
Old Liu's face turned red, he glared at Old Lian and said, "You are the only one who talks too much."
Lao Lian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Isn't what I said the truth?"
"Okay." Old Tang stopped them: "Just do what Old Yang said."
This gathering is just a regular meeting. The Tang family holds such gatherings several times every year. This is to increase exchanges and communication between the people in charge of some industries under the Tang family's name, including some of the Tang family's own family members.
Old Tang asked Liang Jian to attend this party probably to give Liang Jian multiple opportunities to show his face and prepare for Liang Jian's return.
At the party, Old Tang did not introduce him deliberately, but everyone knew that he was Liang Jian.
He is the son of Old Tang and the future successor of the Tang family.
Wherever Liang Jian went with his neon clothes, people would come up to chat with him. Gradually, Liang Jian got bored and hid with his neon clothes. While wandering around in the garden, he thought about Hu Xiaoying.
Liang Jian definitely couldn't help Hu Xiaoying on his own. If he wanted to help her, he could only borrow the power of the Tang family. However, if Liang Jian repeated these two words several times in his heart,
It seemed that as long as he didn't repeat it a few times, this matter would become true. He asked himself, if this matter was true, then how should he ask the Tang family to help?
But would Hu Xiaoying really do such a thing?
Under the light, Nishang took out the Jade Guanyin and looked at it carefully. She could not tell whether it was good or bad. She just liked the light-transmitting feeling when the light shone on the Jade Guanyin. She felt that the green one was particularly beautiful.
.As for Liang Jian, although his eyes were fixed on her, his mind had already flown to Ningzhou, thousands of miles away, to Hu Xiaoying, who currently did not know where he was.
Liang Jian knew it in his heart, as well as Ming Jing. Even if there was a lie about such a big thing, it certainly couldn't be all false. In other words, Hu Xiaoying was definitely not that clean. In fact, he had always known it, he just didn't want to admit it.
, don’t want to face it.
It is almost impossible for a woman to struggle in such a position in the officialdom without a backer and to work hard. What kind of place is the officialdom? It is a sewage pond that has been drained of water. Who wants to be in this filthy place?
How is it possible to fish in the mud without getting some mud?
It's just that everyone knows the truth, but when it comes to Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian would rather not understand it himself.
"Dad, I want to give this to my mother, do you agree?" Nishang's voice suddenly sounded, which startled Liang Jian. It was like being caught having an affair, and the feeling of embarrassment that surged up in Nishang made Liang Jian jump.
He seemed at a loss in front of him. It took him several seconds to recover from this feeling of embarrassment. Under the light, Nishang held up the Jade Guanyin with a serious look. In her eyes, this Jade Guanyin was just a beautiful piece.
Something, and she wanted to give this beautiful thing that she liked to her mother. It was a way of expressing her love for her mother.
Liang Jian knelt down, hugged her, and said softly: "Okay. Dad will take you to find your mother in a while. Then, can you give this to your mother with your own hands?"
"Okay" Nishang jumped up with joy, held Liang Jian's face, and kept asking: "Dad, you won't lie to me, will you really take me to find my mother?"
Liang Jian nodded, then nodded again.
She asked several times before she believed Liang Jian, but after a while she asked again: "Dad, do you think mom won't recognize me?" When she said this, her little face was full of worry, and her eyes were filled with worry.
They were all filled with tears. Liang Jian's heart hurt when he saw it, his nose felt sore, and he almost shed tears too.
"Of course not. You are my mother's baby. How could my mother not recognize you? Besides, don't you video chat with your mother every day?" Liang Jian reluctantly held back his tears and tried to comfort her with a smile. Nishang tilted her head,
He became happy again and said with a giggle: "Yes, then when will we go? Can we go tomorrow?"
"Not tomorrow, dad still has something to do. When this is done, dad will take you there." Liang Jian replied. Nishang's mood dropped again: "Dad, you are always like this."
"It's true this time. Let's do it for a week, okay?" Liang Jian didn't know what a week meant to him, but he knew what it meant to Nishang.
He owed her a lot, and he owed them a lot. This time, no matter what, he couldn't break his promise.
One week, just one week.
And this week
Hu Xiaoying
Liang Jian's thoughts couldn't help but fly out again. After all, Hu Xiaoying was the part of him that he couldn't let go of. He could not see her, but he really couldn't stand by and watch.
