Of course, Chen Qian couldn't have consulted the Secretary of the provincial Party Committee on the issue of "how small the steamed bun is to be torn." instead of pretending to me, she began to tear up the dead dough in her hand as a work of art.
With the passage of time, we have become familiar with each other, especially the old man who seems to be in a good mood today. He is moving his hands and chatting with Chen Qian and me casually.
"Xiaojiang, just now when you guessed that the famous TCM doctor I was talking about was your grandfather, you seemed to have some abnormal emotions Is there any difficulty at home? "
When the steaming steamed bun was served, and the aroma of vermicelli, scallion, sweet garlic, beef or mutton was mixed in the box, the old man ate it, but suddenly asked me this.
I quickly swallowed the greasy piece of mutton in my mouth and replied to the old man, "old man, can I ask you first this time?"
"Hey, hey, what do you ask me? Say it
"When did you begin to suspect me? Or from where can I see that I am testing your identity and have basically judged who you are? "
After my question was thrown out, there was a moment of silence in the box.
Secretary Li and several of his followers were stunned. It seems that I dare to ask a secretary of the provincial Party committee.
It's no wonder that although these people can see that I have a reason with the old man, they still don't know how familiar we are with each other. In particular, they don't know what character Jiang Feng is!
Look at me and the old man, waiting for him to get angry or answer.
As a result, the old man ate a few mouthfuls of beef steamed bread, and seemed to feel that the strength was not enough. He poured a large spoonful of chili sauce, stirred it well, and swallowed a large mouthful of steamed bread with a hiss.
After tasting the taste for a long time, he said to me with a smile on everyone's face, "from the time you start to ask All right, eat, eat Tell me about your family, Xiaojiang
What do I ask for?
After thinking for a moment, I recalled that I once said that if I guessed which font the two characters in the forest of Steles belonged to, the old man would promise to accompany me and Chen Qian to visit the forest of Steles and tell us the historical allusions
But I really don't think there's anything suspicious about such a request. It's just that since the other party doesn't want to talk about it any more, of course I can't be so blind and have to get to the bottom of it.
Seeing the old man asking about my family, I pondered and didn't speak for a long time.
After a few minutes, the other side looked up a little strange, "what? Is there really something difficult at home? Come on, I'll listen to it... "
The old man simply put down his chopsticks and looked at me with a few deep meanings.
Secretary Li next to me touched me with his knee under the table. "Xiaojiang, if the boss asks you to say it, just say it."
I open my mouth, close it, open it again So back and forth several times, but eventually did not say a word.
Don't I, Jiang Feng, want to have such a giant in Xijing and even Shanxi Province to support our Jiang family?
Of course not!
But, anyway, I can't speak!
What is the most important factor in interpersonal communication? One is not to flatter the other, the other is not to forget oneself through the past relationship with the other, but to be "sensible"!
There are several reasons why I can't talk about my brother-in-law Xiang Ming's case at the dinner table at this moment.
First, the new secretary of the provincial Party committee has not yet officially taken office. If I tell him, is the other party in charge or not? If you are determined to manage, when is the right time?
Secondly, it's at the dinner table after all. I don't want my private affairs to be known by too many people. Even if Secretary Li and several other bodyguards are trustworthy people, it's not appropriate.
In addition, I know that Xiangming's brother-in-law is not easy to handle. At present, he has been involved in the game of three or four forces, and even the two factions of Li Kan and Tian Ge need to form an alliance to withstand the pressure of their opponents So even if the old man is the most influential person in Shanxi Province, he can't cover the sky with his own hands after all! So, if I say that, the old man will send someone to investigate and find that this matter is extremely tricky. When the time comes, can we let people extend their hand? It's not just embarrassing him
In love and reason, although I am willing to rely on such a big backer that tens of thousands of people admire and revere, I can't say things at this moment when I meet and enjoy each other
"Well? Why... Don't I worry? "
The old man seems not very happy!
Indeed, he has asked me again and again, and talked about this, but I still look forward and backward, afraid of the wolf and the tiger, not willing to say, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
I nodded, "Sir, something happened to my family recently, but I don't want to say Don't force me. It's no big deal. I can solve it myself. "
"Oh? Is that right? "
The other side looked at me deeply, then shook his head, "hard mouth Well, let's eat! "We picked up chopsticks again and began to continue this delicious meal which suddenly became like chewing wax.
…
After dinner, I took the initiative to say goodbye to the old man. I didn't even say that I would visit him later.
Holding his hand, I gently shook it a few times, "old man, when you are free, you can take time to go back to Qishan to have a look. Now the hometown has changed a lot. I'm afraid you can't recognize where it is when you go..."
"Well, I'll accept your invitation. Well, I'll always go to Mr. Liang's grave to have a stick of incense."
In silence, I waved goodbye to the old man and Secretary Li. Facing the hot breeze in Australia in the afternoon, Chen Qian and I nestled together and walked away slowly.
Sister Qian asked me, "Xiao Feng, I'm going to report to the provincial prison administration. How about you? How about the afternoon? "
She asked casually, but it made me a little confused. Yes, where should I go?
Looking for LAN LAN?
Although this idea first flashed in my mind, it was rejected by me almost at the same time! Secretly wry smile, step on the horse, Jiang Feng you Ya is not too promising, how always think of or LAN LAN? Are you still a man?
If I don't go to Lanlan, who should I go to?
Li Kan and Tian Ge didn't know what they were busy with. They didn't even make a phone call except that they asked me to wait for the game to come to an end!
People are busy, I can't be so cheap. I have to be hot and cold. I can't smile back, and I can't make a fool of myself
Hong Lei? Yingjie? Morning light?
I think about it, it seems that there is no reason to see them. It seems that everything can be explained clearly on the phone
So, after finding a reason to send Chen Qian away, I became a ghost again in this city.
I may never think that one day I will become a loner lost in the streets of Xijing, an ancient city.
