There were a few familiar people standing next to Old Tang, but all of a sudden Liang Jian couldn't recognize who was who. Liang Jian walked over with Ni Shang in his arms and stood beside Lao Tang, a bald man about the same age as Lao Tang immediately smiled and said, "My daughters are so old." As he spoke, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to tease Ni Shang, and said with a smile: "Call grandpa." Nishang looked at him, then at Liang Jian, and called grandpa obediently. This crisp sound made the bald man smile, and he immediately raised his hand and touched his body for a while, and then took off a dark green jade Guanyin hanging around his neck and wanted to hang it on his neck.

Lao Tang was immediately stunned, took his hand, and said, "Lao Liu, what are you doing here?" ”

Liang Jian heard the surname Liu, a little familiar, and then looked at his face, Liang Jian suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was - Lao Tang's friend, what his full name was Liang Jian never asked, only once, it was when he didn't come to Taihe, when he was in Yongzhou. It's been more than a year since then, and this Uncle Liu has changed quite a lot, he is fat and has shaved his head. And the other two, one Uncle Lian and the other Uncle Yang, haven't changed much.

At this time, I heard Lao Liu say: "What are you doing?" Your granddaughter calls me grandpa, can I still let her call me for nothing? No such rules! Lao Liu said that he was going to put the jade Guanyin into the neck of the neon dress. Liang Jian hurriedly dodged back and said, "Uncle Liu, Nishang should call you grandpa, you better put away this jade Guanyin." ”

When this Uncle Liu saw Liang Jian calling him Uncle Liu, he was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't expect you kid to remember me!" However, as soon as you call Uncle Liu, I will have to give this jade even more. ”

Liang Jian still wanted to persuade him, but Old Tang said: "Since you want to give this thing to Nishang, then I can tell you first, and I can't go back." Don't come back to me, I'm going back. ”

Lao Liu's face was blank and he said, "Am I this kind of person?" For so many years, there are still few things that my Lao Liu has given away, have you seen me recycle? ”

Uncle Lian and Uncle Yang laughed silently. Old Tang also smiled slightly. It seems that there are no examples of things that Uncle Liu sent back to take back. Liang Jian was pretending to be about Hu Xiaoying in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to the subtle expressions between the four of them.

Old Tang was relieved, and Liang Jian also asked him to hang the jade Guanyin on Nishang's neck. Ni Shang grabbed the jade Guanyin in front of her with two small hands, looked at it and looked, and seemed to like it.

"Do you like it?" Lao Liu asked her. Nishang nodded, suddenly raised her head again, glanced at Lao Liu hurriedly, 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, this thing is probably worth a lot. So, he whispered to Ni Sheng to put this thing away, Ni Shang seemed to like this jade Guanyin very much, and when he heard Liang Jian's words, he immediately stuffed this thing into his clothes, and then said to Lao Liu with a smile: "This won't fall off, thank you grandpa." After speaking, he gently patted the jade Guanyin through his clothes. Several people were amused by her appearance.

After greeting for a while, Lao Tang asked Xiao Wu to take Nishang to other places to play, while Liang Jian stayed, obviously having something to say.

Waiting for Xiao Wu and Ni Shang to walk away, Lao Tang pointed to the only old man in the group who Liang Jian didn't know, and introduced Liang Jian: "Liang Jian, called Uncle Hu." ”

Liang Jian shouted Uncle Hu. This man looked older than Old Tang and the others, with white hair and white stubble on his chin. However, the eyes are blazing, and when looking at people, they seem to have the power to penetrate people's hearts, making people dare not look directly.

This Uncle Hu was later introduced by Lao Tang, and Liang Jian learned that he was the director of the China Geological Survey and a well-known figure in international geology. Moreover, he also has a close relationship with the current minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources.

The relationship between Lao Tang and this Hu Jingran seems to go back to a long time ago, Lao Tang and him, as well as the other three people, seem to have been soldiers together in the past, and the feeling between the five people can be felt from every sentence and every word.

And Lao Tang introduced this Hu Jingran to Liang Jian this time, but it was for the underground 'tomb' found in Taihe before. Hu Jingran asked Liang Jian a few questions, and Liang Jian answered truthfully, Hu Jingran didn't seem to find any effective information from Liang Jian's answer, and his face showed a trace of disappointment.

Not long after, Hu Jingran answered a phone call and left early.

After he left, Lao Tang suddenly mentioned Liang Jian's return to Beijing in front of the other three. Old Tang asked Liang Jian: "Have you thought about it this time?" ”

Liang Jian nodded: "I think about it." ”

Old Tang nodded slightly. Lao Liu interjected: "It's good to come back, it's long time ago." ”

Uncle Lian, who was sitting next to him, took over: "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 thought of coming back appeared in Liang Jian's mind, this question has been wandering in Liang Jian's heart. And the answer was already in place when he made the decision. He smiled at Uncle Lian and said, "I haven't thought about the problem of work yet, so I might go to the United States first." ”

Even the uncle and the three of them were stunned, Lao Tang knew a lot, and immediately understood what Liang Jian meant, he glanced at Liang Jian and didn't speak.

Lao Lian saw that Old Tang didn't speak, so he smiled and said, "It's good to rest for a while and tidy up first." ”

And so that's the end of the topic. Liang Jian sat for a while and then went out to look for Ni Xiang.

After he left, the smiles on the faces of Old Tang and the others were put away and became a little serious. After a period of silence, Lao Liu first spoke to break the deadlock and said, "Old Tang, just now I saw what Liang Jian meant, it seems that he doesn't plan to enter the officialdom again. ”

Old Tang's expression was also rare and a little dignified, and he pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lao Yang, who hadn't spoken much, 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 go this way, then let my boy come." Lao Liu said suddenly. However, after he finished speaking, Lao Lian immediately glared at him with disdain, and said: "That kid of your family is spoiled by your daughter-in-law, if he comes to take the road of Liang Jian, I guarantee that within a month, he will be able to throw your old face of Lao Liu to the ground." Do you believe it or not? ”

Lao Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "That's what I said, what are you doing so seriously!" ”

"If he really doesn't want to go, Liu Yue can't try." Old Tang suddenly spoke, and everyone else looked at Old Tang in surprise, and Lao Yang said: "Liu Yue's character, you haven't seen it, can he do it?" ”

Old Tang said: "It's better than nothing, we are all old, if there is no one to take over all this that we have worked hard for so many years, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

The rest of the people stopped talking. There was a solemn silence at the scene.

After a long time, Lao Yang broke the silence and said, "Let's take a look first." Liang Jian's side, Old Tang, you can persuade again. Liu Yue's side, Lao Liu, you are also a bit of a father, take care of it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Lian immediately said: "With his daughter-in-law here, can he manage it?" ”

Lao Liu's face was flushed, he glared at Lao Lian, and said, "You have a lot of mouth!" ”

Lao Lian glanced at him and said, "Isn't what I said the truth?" ”

"Alright." Old Tang stopped them: "Just follow what Lao Yang said." ”

This gathering is just a regular meeting, and such a gathering is held several times a year by the Tang family, which is to increase the number of persons in charge of some industries under the Tang family's name, including some exchanges and communication between the Tang family's own family members.

And Lao Tang asked Liang Jian to attend this gathering, which should be to give Liang Jian more opportunities to show his face and prepare for Liang Jian's return in the future.

At the party, Lao Tang did not deliberately introduce him, but everyone knew that he was Liang Jian, the son of Lao Tang, and the future successor of the Tang family.

Wherever Liang Jian walked with Ni Dress, someone came up to talk to him, and slowly, Liang Jian got annoyed and hid out with Ni Dress. While wandering around the garden, he was thinking about Hu Xiaoying.

Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian would definitely not be able to help him if he relied on himself. If he wanted to help her, then 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 thing would become true. He asked himself, if this thing was true, then how could he open this mouth and ask the Tang family to help?

However, would Hu Xiaoying really do such a thing?

Under the light, Nishang took out the jade Guanyin and looked at it carefully, where could she see the good or bad, she just liked the transparency of the light shining on this jade Guanyin, and felt that this green was particularly beautiful. And Liang Jian, although his eyes were staring at her, his mind had already flown to Ningzhou, thousands of miles away, and flew to Hu Xiaoying, who didn't know where he was at the moment.

Liang Jian knew it in his heart, as clear as Spiegel. Such a big thing, even if there is a fake, it is definitely not all fake. In other words, Hu Xiaoying is definitely not so clean. Actually, he always knew that he just didn't want to admit it, he didn't want to face it.

A woman, in officialdom, struggling in such a position, without a backer, relying on down-to-earth work, it is almost a fantasy. What is officialdom? It's a sludge pond that has been drained, and who wants to touch the fish in this sludge, how can it be without a little sludge?

It's just that everyone understands the truth, but in Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian would rather not understand it himself.

"Dad, I want to give this to Mom, do you say okay?" Nishang's voice suddenly sounded, startling Liang Jian. It's like being caught cheating, and the feeling of crampedness that swells up in an instant makes Liang Jian look overwhelmed in front of Ni Shang. It took him a few seconds to recover from this feeling of crampedness. Under the light, Nishang held the jade Guanyin with a serious face. In her eyes, this Jade Guanyin is just a beautiful thing, and she wants to give this beautiful thing she likes to her mother, which is an expression of her love for her mother.

Liang Jian squatted down, hugged her, and said softly, "Okay." After a while, Dad will take you to Mom, and when the time comes, will you give this to Mom yourself? ”

"Good!" Nishang jumped up happily, held Liang Jian's face, and kept asking, "Dad, you won't lie to me, right?" Are you really going to take me to my mother? ”

Liang Jian nodded, and nodded again.

She asked several times before she believed Liang Jian, and 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 full of tears.

"Of course not, you are your mother's baby, how could your mother not recognize you. Besides, don't you video with your mom every day? Liang Jian barely held back his tears and tried to smile and comfort her. Nishang tilted her head, became happy again, and giggled and said, "yes, then when are we going?" Will you 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 lowered again: "Dad, you're always like this." ”

"This time it's true. So let's do it, a week, okay? Liang Jian didn't know what a week meant to him, but he knew what it meant to Ni Shang.

He owes her a lot, and he owes them a lot, and this time, no matter what, he can't break his word again.

A week, just a week.

And this week......

Hu Xiaoying......

Liang Jian's thoughts couldn't help but fly out again, Hu Xiaoying was the part he couldn't let go of after all. He could not see her, but he really couldn't do it if he had to stand by and watch.
