Beijing, Qiao Family Courtyard

It is said that Qiao’s compound is actually a courtyard house in Xishan that the central government gave to Mr. Qiao in the past. Although Mr. Qiao has passed away for many years, it is still not a place where ordinary people can come. This small courtyard house Many major policies of China were decided back then, including a major event during Qiao's tenure, the issue of Hong Kong.

Back then, this small courtyard was not in the cold in front of the door it is now. In the past, people who thought of coming here could queue up to the Badaling Great Wall. More than half of the country's ministerial-level officials have been here, and some have not been here.

Qiao Yanxi and Qiao Mengyuan are in this Qiao family compound at this time. Qiao Yanxi grew up here with her grandfather. He was very excited to come here, but Qiao Mengyuan didn’t seem so happy anymore. She was right. There is no emotion here, speaking of it this is the second time I have been here, the last time I came here I was a baby.

In Qiao Mengyuan's opinion, Qiao Yanxi thought of this place just to think about the glory of the Qiao family back then, but what's the use in these glorious memories? Could Mr. Qiao be resurrected?Continue to support the Qiao family for them?It’s impossible. Back then, Mr. Qiao had taken good care of his family very well. The Qiao family’s failure to be like this after 20 years is also because the younger generations of Qiao’s family are too incompetent. The second generation of Qiao’s family is still OK. Although this Qiao Yanxi is not a talented person, he is already the most capable boy. The others are not hustle and bustle but business. Businessmen in China can never decide anything unless you are an official business, but the official business has arrived. In the end, you need to become an official.

"Grandpa taught me to walk here back then. Mengyuan, did you see the steps? It took me three days to walk up. My father said that grandpa laughed happily at that time, as if he had achieved something better than himself. I’m still happy.” Qiao Yanxi really remembered that time, no matter how prominent a person is outside, he had to wait in the yard for his grandfather’s summons when he arrived in this small courtyard, and he always played in the yard. There will be so many uncles and uncles who come to praise themselves, even if they meet for the first time, they have to say that they have wisdom roots and are smart or something. At that time, I thought I was really smart. I now know that if a person is really good If you are in a certain place, others will not praise him for being smart, he will definitely be praised for his good points. Praising smart is a helpless act that others don't know how to praise you.

Qiao Mengyuan followed her brother's finger and looked over. It was a step of ten centimeters, but Qiao Yanxi was only over a year old when she wanted to come. She saw that her eldest grandson could take the first step. As a grandfather, Joe How can you be unhappy always, but now is not the time for nostalgia. You have found two very powerful enemies for yourself. Now every minute is very precious. It seems that it is not the time to do these things now.

"Brother, I think the time is almost up. We should go to the military area compound to visit Lao Liu." It is not very far from Liu Lao's military area compound, and with Liu Lao's current position in Beijing, we should also serve as both of them. The first visit.

Hearing that the smile on Liu Lao Qiao Yanxi’s face quickly passed, Grandpa and Liu Lao were partners for a lifetime, and they rolled over on the battlefield together. Unfortunately, Grandpa left too early. If Grandpa didn’t go so early, Will people like Li Cong and Bai Chen come out of Beijing now?

On the surface, it seems that Mr. Qiao and Mr. Liu have a very good relationship, but are they really life-long revolutionary comrades just as the outside said?Then why did Mr. Liu not take care of Qiao's children after Mr. Qiao passed away?And it seems to be forgotten unintentionally. If you look at the records of Mr. Liu in the past few years, you will know that every time Mr. Liu’s subordinates talk about Mr. Qiao or Mr. Qiao’s children, Mr. Liu always finds a topic for him. The ones who have brought Qiao Yanxi's father, who is currently the provincial party committee of Yunnan Province, have visited Lao Liu several times in Beijing, but were blocked by Lao Liu due to physical problems. He just sent the next generation of people. When I came to meet, it was not far or near.

Of course, the provincial party committee *** will naturally not talk about these things everywhere, otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?When talking about Liu Lao outside, most of the Qiao family members will say that they are their grandfathers. Just like the old people in their own family, everyone will naturally believe it, and when doing things, especially in Beijing, it is simply better to mention Liu Laona. Zhongnanhai's approval note still works.

"Lao Liu? It's almost there. It's not very far anyway. Let's walk over together." Qiao Yanxi thought for a while and looked at her watch. Anyway, this is not an emergency. Qiao Mengyuan also nodded.

As the saying goes, it’s not that the friends don’t get together. The Qiao brothers and sisters want to see Mr. Liu. Today, Li Cong and Bai Chen have made an appointment to accompany the old man to eat together. Now the three of them are drinking tea in the yard. It.

Half a catty of wine for one person is a very common thing for these three people. Even if Mr. Liu is now close to a hundred years old, but his body is still good, he looks no different from a decade ago, even Mr. Liu himself Said that he was alive and alive like an old fairy, but time was walking, and he didn't get old all over.

Today, Mr. Liu is very happy. Li Cong and Bai Chen are both younger generations he likes. It would be nice to have one person at ordinary times. Today, two of them came together. As an old man, what does he want?The biggest extravagant desire is to watch his younger generations make progress. This is what he needs most.

But the old man has been shrewd for half his life, and naturally also knows that the chance of these two people coming together is too small if nothing happens, but the two little guys didn't say anything to themselves after noon, don't you say wait for me to ask?We are an old man, can we ask you to manipulate?

"Today this tea tastes good. After half a catty of white wine, this cup of tea is half awake. It seems that this Jiangnan scented tea is much better than those of Longjing..." It has been ten minutes in a row, the old man. Jin's nonsense, it's not about tea, it's about keeping in good health. If it's time, how much can you two have?The president of a large group of you, and the other is the president of the club. At that time, time is more expensive than gold. As a retired old man, what are we afraid of when we are married to grandchildren at home.

Li Cong and Bai Chen didn't want to be this early bird. Although Li Cong provoke the matter, Bai Chen also participated. He wanted Li Cong to take it off.

The little aunt came in just when both of them were embarrassed.

"Lao Liu, two young people came outside. They said they were the younger generations of Mr. Qiao. They came to visit you." The three of them were a little moved.

The Qiao family?The old man hasn't seen someone from Qiao's family for ten years. Old Qiao's junior?It must be the kid who had a terrible quarrel with his grandson-in-law in Liyuan, Beijing, and he came really fast.

Li Cong and Bai Chen glanced at each other, wondering what this meant?It's like fighting with kids?Can't beat me to find the parents?

"Haha, the younger generation of old Qiao? It just so happens that you two are here, so please invite the guests here. My old man is too old and doesn't like to move." In the small garden in the backyard, Mr. Liu, except for his family Other than coming in, no one else invited in. Old Liu felt that he had already withdrawn. This is his own pure land. Let the two children of Qiao’s family also come in. This means that there are only family matters here, and don’t talk about outside matters. Here is a place isolated from the world.

This is what Qiao Yanxi and Qiao Mengyuan saw when they came in. Liu Lao sat in a rocking chair. It was similar to a photo published in the newspaper a few years ago. The white'color' Tai Chi costume looked like Liu Lao. Li Cong and Bai Chen were standing on both sides of Liu Lao in the appearance of Xianfeng Dao bones.

"Hehe, you are Yanxi, you were still a baby when you left Beijing that year. I didn't expect that the effort was so big in the blink of an eye, this one is?" Liu Lao has been very enthusiastic to Qiao Yanxi for more than ten years. This was also the first person from the Qiao family that Liu Lao met, but Qiao Mengyuan had never seen him, and it seemed that the age of the two did not look like a couple.

"I saw Lao Liu. This is our little sister named Mengyuan. She is only in her twenties this year. Lao Liu met her for the first time." Qiao Yanxi is a good boy right now. Not the arrogant look of yesterday.

"Sit down, everyone. It's not convenient to talk while standing? Come and taste the newly sent scented tea from Jiangnan. The taste is absolutely superb." Li Cong hurriedly greeted everyone to sit down, and he looked like the host here. .

Qiao Yanxi glanced at Li Cong. He also knew the relationship between Li Cong and Liu Lao. Liu Yan also knew how such an arrogant man could be a wife for someone else, and Liu also agreed to this matter. I don’t know what the Liu family are thinking about.

Qiao Mengyuan politely poured tea for everyone. Although Li Cong and Bai Chen can be regarded as the hosts here, when a woman is present, these two guys feel that it is normal for the woman to serve tea and pour water. Things, a big man can’t do these things. Older Liu also knows the "sexuality" of these two people. He didn’t say anything about it at the moment. He watched Qiao Mengyuan pouring water. Judging from the method of pouring tea, this girl is right. There should be a lot of knowledge about tea.

It is also the first time that Li Cong has observed Qiao Mengyuan up close. Well, this skin is really good from close up. There is only light makeup on the face, but it looks very makeup, unlike some young people’s face powder on the face. I wanted to fall down, wearing a sky-blue'color' dress, made of tulle, and her own lines were looming. This kind of temptation was the most exciting.

The atmosphere on the table is not bad. 80% of the words are said by Mr. Liu. Basically, Mr. Liu asked and Qiao Yanxi or Qiao Mengyuan answered. Li Cong slowly moved his eyes away from there. In Qiao Mengyuan’s body, Bai Chen is like an old monk entering Ding, saying nothing or expressing any opinions. He is a living fossil. Only when a few people talk about the topic will he speak a few words, but also Cherish the word as gold.

Qiao Yanxi sees the fire is almost the same, it is time to tell the purpose of coming here, if you really respect the seniors as he said, you should say goodbye now that he has said so many things, besides, Mr. Liu I'm already showing that I'm a little tired. No matter how good my body is, I'm a hundred-year-old person. What's more, I drank half a catty of liquor at noon. It was just like I was still sleepy.

"Lao Liu, when I returned to Beijing this time, the organization transferred me back. It's just that Yanxi has been away from Beijing for many years. Maybe there is something unclear. I hope Lao Liu can take care of grandpa's face in the future." Qiao Yan Xi knows that you should never go in circles when talking to people like Liu Lao. It’s better to be clear about what you say. In fact, Qiao Yanxi didn’t expect Lao Liu to be of any help to him. It’s just a courtesy to come here. I hope Lao Liu can watch himself fighting with Li Cong from the sidelines, instead of getting involved.

Lao Liu yawned again. This was already the third one. After listening to Qiao Yanxi's words, he did not immediately answer the question, but took a sip of the tea in front of him.

"Yanxi is so humble. Although I haven't seen you in these years, I have been paying attention to your affairs. I don't think there is anything you can't solve in Beijing. Where can I take care of my old man? These two younger generations have been mixed in Beijing recently. My old man was sleepy in the afternoon and couldn’t bear it. If you have time, just talk and say help. Li Cong and Bai Chen are still a little capable in Beijing. If you If you have anything, you might as well talk to them. I’ll take a rest first. It’s better for you young people to solve the world of young people. I am an old man and I won’t bother you here anymore.” After Mr. Liu finished speaking, everyone stood up. Get up, although Qiao Yanxi wants to say something, she just saw her sister shaking her head, so don’t say more. Older Liu is not a good-tempered person. If he gets rushed, then he really has to leave. Beijing is now.

Lao Liu said he was leaving, who would dare to stop him?What if your Qiao family is arrogant?This old man is from your grandfather's time, and your grandfather may not do things that embarrass him. Are you embarrassing him?Don't look at how many catties you have.

Lao Liu had no choice but to leave. He didn’t see the younger generations of the Qiao family these years because the world had already withdrawn from the world. I knew why the boss of the Qiao family came to see him. I didn’t help him. But if he has the first time, he will have to have a second time. After Qiao’s death, Qiao’s family will leave Beijing. It’s also Qiao’s own arrangement. Qiao always knows the truth that prosperity must decline. It’s better to be a native emperor in the southwest. Is the capital much better?This Qiao Yanxi still couldn't understand what his grandfather meant. Now he came back to embarrass the older generation and to the younger generation as an enemy.

This older generation is represented by Mr. Liu. If you want to take care of you, you will inevitably hurt your grandchildren. After your Qiao family leaves Beijing, someone will have to make up for the vacancies. People are their own grandchildren, should they let the younger generations from their family let them out to you?It seems that there are no such unselfish people in the world. The old man's heart is nothing more than his younger generations. No one can do this generous.

If Qiao’s family stayed in the southwest of the country honestly, things over there are basically cars on two roads from the capital. Old revolutionaries like Liu will naturally take care of them, because there is always Qiao’s affection. It’s displayed there. This kind of care can be given. In Beijing, this kind of care is gone. I guess Qiao Yanxi felt this too. He still couldn’t figure out why he was so enthusiastic about himself when he came to Beijing to run a relationship. Why are your uncles alienating themselves a little this time?

"Miss Qiao’s necklace is really beautiful. If I remember correctly, this should be Kadia’s limited edition this year. Wearing Ms. Qiao really shows its original style. No, it should be extraordinary. It’s right to play.” After Mr. Liu left, Li Cong talked a lot, but most of the words were for Qiao Mengyuan, and basically ignored Qiao Yanxi. Bai Chen seemed to be asleep. After that, Mr. Liu asked and said one sentence when he was there, and Mr. Liu didn't say a word as soon as he left.

"Mr. Li passed the award. Actually, there is no brand or brand of jewelry. I only buy things to look good. Even if he is from a street stall, I will buy it and bring it." Qiao Mengyuan obviously looked at Li Cong. I was very dissatisfied, the meaning of the expression in the eyes was familiar to me, so I was rather stiff in answering Li Cong's words. I thought Li Cong would retire when he was in trouble, but he did not expect this guy to praise his taste. , And then talked about her earrings, it seems that today is a little serious and can't be done.

Bai Chen on one side saw that Li Cong was deflated and wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh. If he laughed at this moment, wouldn't it mean that he had done everything just now, and told your kid to have nothing to do with others. Now it's all right, shameful.

"Chairman Bai, I heard that your Great Wall Club is now the largest power in Beijing. I was originally a member of the Great Wall Club. I just didn’t come back for many years. I don’t know when there will be parties in our club, so I can go. Know a few friends." Qiao Yanxi just didn't want Bai Chen to rest. Perhaps compared with Li Cong, this person is a bit easier to talk to.

People's words have already touched his face, this time is not the time to pretend to be asleep, Bai Chen opened his a little sleepy eyes.

"Party? What kind of party? Our club generally only has permanent members to have formal meetings, and other members are free to move around." Bai Chen said, in fact, which party of the Great Wall Club is not in his control, for Qiao Yanxi Bai Chen also thought a lot about wanting to enter the Great Wall Club, and he was more anxious than Li Cong on this matter.
