Chapter 1253 [The Wall] (1)
It is normal for Xiao Guocheng to return from Japan to Xue Shilun's house, but after a deep conversation with Professor Hua, Grand Secretary Zhang couldn't help but mutter in his heart, saying that these two people would be planning any conspiracy. If you know, you can't get a tiger's son. This is a good opportunity.
Zhang Yang pretended to be nothing: "Uncle Xue has many real estate in Beijing. Which home are you planning to go to?"
Xiao Guocheng said: "Yanxi No. 1!"
Zhang Yang was slightly stunned. He had been there many times. It was when Mr. Xue was alive. Mr. Xue always lived there after he retired, and in fact he regarded it as a place where he lived his life. Since Mr. Xue passed away, the Xue family has rarely gone there. Today, Xue Shilun and Xiao Guocheng met there, but I don’t know if it has any special significance.
The autumn rain fell halfway through the car. Zhang Yang turned on the radio and a familiar piano piece "Whispering in Autumn" floated out of it.
Xiao Guocheng was intoxicated when he heard this. He closed his eyes and tapped his fingers gently on the armrest box with the rhythm of the music, responding to the rhythm of the raindrops outside the window.
Zhang Yang looked sideways. At this time, Xiao Guocheng was full of elegant temperament. If anyone who knew him would never think that he was a businessman who had been struggling in the business world for many years. Xiao Guocheng suddenly opened his eyes, and tears flashed in his deep eyes: "My wife often played this song during her lifetime."
Zhang Yang sighed in his heart when he thought of his wife who died of poison.
Xiao Guocheng fell on the car window on the side, and the raindrops drifted in from outside the window with the wind, floating onto his face, blurring his eyes, unable to tell whether it was rain or tears.
Xue Shilun did not expect Xiao Guocheng to arrive today. His surprised expression proved that he knew nothing about this matter. Xue Weitong smiled like a princess on the side. She didn't expect that the person who brought Xiao Guocheng would be Zhang Yang.
Only then did Lord Zhang realize that Xue Weitong's aunt, uncle Xue Yinghong, and Yan Junqiang had also arrived.
Xiao Guocheng opened his arms and gave Xue Shilun a warm hug: "Happy birthday, Shilun!"
Only then did Master Zhang realize that today was Xue Shilun's birthday. No wonder Xiao Guocheng came from Japan specifically, nor was Xue Yinghong and his wife arrived together.
Xue Shilun smiled and said, "I forgot if you don't say it. Birthday! Haha, it turns out that I am fifty-five years old this year! I'm old!"
Xue Weitong said: "Dad, you are not old at all. You look like a young man in your twenties. When we walk together, others must think it is a sibling. Is it the third brother?"
Official Zhang nodded, "I think it looks like it!"
Xue Shilun was so funny that he was too big. He pointed at Zhang Yang and said, "I've had a long time of fun. It was you and Wei Tong who colluded to perform a play for me."
Zhang Daguanren said, "I was wronged. I happened to meet Mr. Xue when I went to the airport to send someone away. I sent him over there. Before I came to your house, I really didn't know that today was your birthday. I didn't even prepare a gift."
Xue Yinghong said on the side: "What kind of gift is not an outsider. Everyone comes here is a guest. It depends on one mouth and just have a mouth."
Zhang Daguanren smiled and said, "Aunt, you have called me a savory meal."
Everyone laughed in unison.
Xue Shilun greeted, "Hurry, hurry, sit inside!"
A group of people came to the living room. For her father's birthday, Xue Weitong started preparing half a month ago. Seeing that her father was in a bad mood recently, she came up with this idea to invite all the family to gather. Despite this, the uncle who was far away in the southwest was busy with work and still couldn't get back. However, this was the most complete gathering of the Xue family in recent times.
Zhang Yang's arrival was purely an accident, but it added a lot of surprises to Xue Weitong. Zhang Yang and Xue Yinghong were very familiar with each other. The couple had not had children for many years after marriage. Fortunately, they received guidance from Zhang Yang and prescribed medicine for them below. Now their son can walk.
Zhang Yang said to Yan Jun: "Uncle Yan, why didn't he bring his son here?"
Speaking of his son, Yan Junqiang smiled: "That kid is very busy. If he comes, he will definitely be disturbed by him. Stay at home and my mother will watch."
Xiao Guocheng gave Xue Shilun the birthday gift he gave was a watch.
Xue Shilun opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Brother Guocheng, you are really uncreative in giving this gift. It has been decades, and every year I celebrate my birthday, you give me a watch."
Xue Weitong echoed: "That's right, Uncle Xiao has no mood at all."
Xiao Guocheng said: "There is nothing more precious than time in this world. The purpose of my presentation is to remind you to cherish time. Before we know it, we are all old. This world belongs to the great boys and the young people."
The gift Yan Junqiang and Xue Weitong and his wife gave Xue Shilun was a purebred Tibetan mastiff with iron and gold. They worked in the Tibetan area for many years and had a good relationship in the local area. This mastiff was carefully selected by someone, and naturally it is of great value.
Xue Weitong gave her father a round trip air ticket to Hawaii, and she wanted to accompany her father on vacation there.
Official Zhang came empty-handed and thought for a while, "Uncle Xue, I'd better give you a picture of it."
"No creativity!" It was Xiao Guocheng who said this.
Xue Weitong smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Xiao is right. Who doesn't know that you are good at writing random paintings? My father is not a calligraphy enthusiast. You have to give things to his preferences and give them his words. Are you afraid that he will use them to fill the fireplace?"
Xue Shilun spat and said, "Nothing is true. Why don't I like calligraphy? I like the romance of the word "bright" very much."
There are already people who have brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone there.
Zhang Yang twisted the pen in his hand: "What should I write?"
Yan Junqiang said: "Just write about blessings as good as the East China Sea and longevity is as long as the South Mountain..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yinghong burst into tears on his head: "Do you dare to be more vulgar?"
Xue Weitong laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
Zhang Daren thought about it and wrote: "There are red bricks, green tiles and high courtyard walls, and all the doors are good!"
Although Yan Junqiang didn't understand calligraphy, he immediately praised him when he saw Zhang Yang's writing and writing in a sensational way, "Good words!"
Xue Yinghong said: "Do you know calligraphy?"
Yan Junqiang has always been afraid of him, and he laughed and said, "I understand a little bit."
Xue Weitong protested: "The handwriting is well written, but this sentence doesn't make sense. Why are you all good men? Women don't count? Third brother, your idea of favoring boys over girls is too serious."
Xue Shilun looked at the letter Zhang Yang gave him and smiled and said, "Good words!" But he was silently reciting in his heart. Red bricks, green tiles, high courtyard walls, or a wall, all the words are good, and there are children in the door, isn't it a word for a clever word? A clever word? Is the true meaning hidden in the picture given to him by this kid? Brothers are fighting against each other? Is it because he is too sensitive or is he meant to express this meaning?
Although Xue Shilun kept thinking about it, he did not show any expression on the surface. He smiled and said, "Please take your seat quickly. Let's have a good drink with my birthday."
The bar is always a place where Zhang Daren is galloping. This guy took turns toasting and kept making witty comments, stirring up the atmosphere on the scene with a lively atmosphere, and everyone laughed heartily from time to time.
Xue Shilun held the wine glass and smiled, "To be honest, our Xue family hasn't been so happy for a long time."
Xiao Guocheng said: "That is why we need to be with young people often. If we are infected by them, we have become much younger."
Xue Shilun nodded, turned his eyes to Zhang Yang and said, "I was worried about you before. I heard that you and Haonan had a very unhappy relationship. Weitong asked me to help because of your affairs. It was not that I was unwilling to help, but that it was not suitable to come forward. Is this a family matter to the Wen family or your godmother and you are the best."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing big, but Guoan is too sensitive and called me to ask questions. It's okay if the matter is told. Uncle Xue, aren't you invited by Guoan?"
Xue Shilun nodded with a smile, but his eyes fell on Xiao Guocheng's face: "An Deyuan was killed. Guoan actually called me to cooperate with the investigation, saying that I had had business dealings with Andeyuan. Are those who had done business with him suspected?"
Xiao Guocheng said: "I have also heard about Andyon. He is the boss of Xinyi Society. Although he always claims to wash his hands, he still manipulates the society in fact. His death has caused an uproar within Xinyi Society."
Xue Shilun said: "I never knew that this person had a gangster background, otherwise I would not have worked with him at the beginning."
Zhang Daguanren thought to himself that it was strange. Xue Shilun did not say a few truths in his mouth. Considering that it was a family dinner for the Xue family, Zhang Daguanren did not stay for too long, and had enough wine and food to leave.
At night, Xue Shilun and Xiao Guocheng came to the rooftop rooftop to enjoy the moon and drink tea. The two brothers had not been together like this for a while. Xiao Guocheng picked up the tea cup, sniffed the fragrance of the tea, and took a sip of the tea ceremony: "The tea in my hometown is still delicious, and I always feel that I have less than something to make tea in a Japanese iron kettle."
Xue Shilun said: "It's just a habit!"
Xiao Guocheng stared at Xue Shilun's eyes and whispered: "It can be seen that her affairs have a big blow to you!"
Xue Shilun raised his head, looked up at the bright moon in the air, and then closed his eyes again: "Maybe I should have listened to you before! Everything has an end, and it is impossible to do it endlessly."
“It’s not too late to look back now!”
Xue Shilun said: "It's too late!"
Xiao Guocheng said: "You have been like this since you were a child, and you are too persistent in doing anything!"
Xue Shilun said: "Isn't the old man often saying that the word "serious" in this world is most afraid of the word "serious"!"
When talking about Mr. Xue, Xiao Guocheng's eyes showed a bit of sadness: "If he had a spirit in heaven, he wouldn't want you to be obsessed with it and regret it!"
