Chapter Twenty-Three: Making Tea

Xiao Ji turned around and saw a man standing at the door with a smile on his face, and he could roughly guess the identity of the other party.

Ye Shuzheng waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Ji to go out, "You go out, you were still studying in school when he helped me pour tea." ”

After hearing Ye Shuzheng's words, Xiao Ji put down the kettle, got up and walked out the door, and couldn't help but look at Xu Baisheng twice, as if he wanted to take a closer look at this person who had recently become famous.

"Please keep the door open, I want to catch up with my husband, I don't want to be disturbed, thank you." Xu Baisheng said politely.

But although this statement is polite, it is actually a bit unreasonable, Ye Shuzheng has a lot of official business, and someone will come to report the situation at any time, but Xiao Ji can't say anything, so he can only cast an inquiring glance at Ye Shuzheng.

Ye Shuzheng waved his hand, "Go out, don't bother anyone without my order." ”

Seeing that his old subordinates could make some achievements in their work, Ye Shuzheng was also happy for him, "Bai Sheng, sit down." ”

looked at Xu Baisheng's eyes full of kindness, as if he was an elder looking at the younger generation. The gentle gaze made Xu Baisheng a little distracted, Mr. Ye was still the same Mr. Ye who made him respect......

I don't know why, a big man's eyes were red, as if tears were about to burst out of his eyes in the next second, he gasped slightly, tried his best to smooth out his somewhat excited mood, walked forward and picked up the thermos, ready to add water to Ye Shuzheng.

He looked down at the water cup, looking at the tea leaves inside, it was estimated that he had added at least five times of water, and looked at Ye Shuzheng with some puzzlement, "Sir......"

Xu Baisheng knows that Ye Shuzheng likes to drink strong tea and never adds so much backwater.

Ye Shuzheng seemed to see the confusion in Xu Baisheng's eyes, "What? Is there anything wrong? ”

"Mr. used to drink strong tea, why ...... now," Xu Baisheng was puzzled.

"This newcomer Xiao Ji is not as careful as you were back then, and you didn't find these trivial things, anyway, it's not a big deal, and I didn't say anything......" Ye Shuzheng's tone was very calm.

But Xu Baisheng frowned, "This is simply a dereliction of duty, how can Mr. be so indulgent?" ”

"Who hasn't been younger? Aren't they all made mistakes? Why should I bother with such a young man in his early twenties? Ye Shuzheng shook his head.

When Xu Baisheng heard this, he couldn't help but think of all the mistakes he made back then, wasn't it all because Mr. was magnanimous and not to blame the past in order to let himself grow slowly?

Being by his husband's side made him understand a lot, what is the family and the country, and what is the Three People's Principles...... But after today, will the gentleman still forgive himself?

Xu Baisheng asked himself this question, but there would be no answer......

Tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he tilted his head to the side to prevent Ye Shuzheng from seeing.

Then he put on a smiling face, "Sir, let Bai Sheng help you make tea today!" ”

He skillfully cleaned the tea residue in the cup and rinsed the cup, all these movements were so skillful, and it didn't seem to have become rusty because he didn't do it for a long time, but Xu Baisheng seemed to be concentrating on making tea, but Yu Guang kept looking at Ye Shuzheng, and at a moment when Ye Shuzheng didn't pay attention, he put his hand into his pocket, took out a small packet of powder, and quickly poured it into the teacup!

Immediately after the boiling water, the tea leaves flew in the cup to show a graceful posture, and the crystal clear appearance of the tea also looked very charming......

Xu Baisheng brought the cup of tea to Ye Shuzheng, and the hand holding the teacup shook uncontrollably.

"Bai Sheng, what's wrong?" Ye Shuzheng asked.

Xu Baisheng grabbed his trembling hand and said, "It's nothing, I was injured a little in Shanghai before, maybe I can recover......

"You should go back to rest, why are you in such a hurry?" There was some reproach in Ye Shuzheng's tone, but the reproach was clearly from the heart......

Xu Baisheng quietly bit his lip, the strong pain made it come out of this emotion, and he tried to make himself more ruthless, "Sir, please use tea." ”

Although Xu Baisheng's expression was a little unnatural today, Ye Shuzheng did not doubt it at all, and directly picked up the teacup.

"Well, the strength of the tea is still the best you know." Ye Shuzheng praised, obviously very satisfied with the tea brewed by Xu Baisheng.

But Xu Baisheng's face did not have the slightest happy expression, Ye Shuzheng saw Xu Baisheng's strange appearance and asked aloud: "Is there something on your mind?" ”

"It's nothing, I just remembered the bits and pieces that Mr. taught me back then, I was ignorant and relied on Mr.'s teachings, it was you who made me understand what is the family and the country, what is the Three People's Principles, under your teachings, I am determined to be unswervingly committed to the great cause of the Three People's Principles, and it is you who make me a person of faith." Xu Baisheng said to Ye Shuzheng, but his tone did not have the pride of the year, but was full of depression.

It was not so much that he was talking to Ye Shuzheng, but that he was talking to himself, but at this moment, Ye Shuzheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he couldn't shout, and then he felt that his body was a little weak, and he collapsed on the chair, looking at the cup of tea that was still crystal clear, he looked up at Xu Baisheng in surprise, and thought of Xu Baisheng's abnormal today, and he had the answer in an instant, "You ......"

But no matter how hard Ye Shuzheng tried, his voice still couldn't shout, and he could only make a hoarse voice, but this hoarse voice seemed to be heard only by himself, and even Xu Baisheng in front of him couldn't hear it clearly, let alone the people outside.

Xu Baisheng stood in front of Ye Shuzheng, Ye Shuzheng's eyes were like sharp knives slashing at Xu Baisheng's heart, looking at Ye Shuzheng's increasingly old face, Xu Baisheng's eyes still couldn't hold it after all, and a line of tears poured down at this moment......

Ye Shuzheng's eyes closed slightly and stopped looking at Xu Baisheng, he could feel that his vitality was slowly fading, but now he didn't have any hatred for this culprit, maybe this was his retribution......

Back then, he betrayed his friend and became a butcher's executioner, but now he has ended up being betrayed, maybe this is the cause and effect......

Ye Shuzheng actually felt relaxed at this time, he was a lonely man, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, so it stands to reason that he has nothing to be nostalgic for this world?

The only thing he has to be nostalgic for is probably this country that is full of holes but deep in love......

"Yu devoted himself to the national revolution for forty years, and his purpose was to seek freedom and equality in China......" he read in a voice that he could only hear, and the memories of the past flashed through his mind like a slide, flashing more and more slowly, including the former prime minister, Yu Mengqian, and his own son...... Gradually, the picture stopped moving, and the freeze dissipated......

Xu Baisheng looked at the person in front of him as if he was asleep, but he knew that this respected elder would never wake up again......
