Now, the old master could be said to be a big shot with real power. It was hard for Liu Lihai not to be nervous. Fortunately, although Leng Hongyan was talking and laughing with the old master, he had been paying attention to him. He asked Yao Haidong to help Liu Lihai resolve the awkwardness and found a reason to meet the old master.
Liu Lihai walked to the side of the old master and Leng Hongyan. Yao Haidong looked at the old master and said, "Chief, this is the deputy head of Lin County, Liu Lihai. He used to work for me and the minister, and he is also a reporter. It was me and the minister who trained him and sent him to the grass-roots level. Although Xiao Liu is young, he is willing to learn, can endure hardship, and has a good understanding. Therefore, the minister and I have always been very optimistic about him. This time, the minister's happy event, I have to bring him here to congratulate him. Don't forget the person who dug the well when you drink water, that's what I think. "As Yao Haidong said this, he pushed Liu Lihai in front of the old master.
With Yao Haidong's words, Liu Lihai's awkwardness was reduced by half. Moreover, Yao Haidong also gave him a good reason to come to the old master's house. This reason was too good. After all, he was a person in the officialdom. He could make the reason sound so smooth with just a glance.
"Hello, Chief." Liu Lihai said as he made a military salute. Since his salute was quite standard, the old master looked at him with a smile and asked, "Xiao Liu has been a soldier before?"
"Reporting to Chief, I, I have not been a soldier before. I just got familiar with the instructor during the military training in university and learned a few military moves. " As soon as Liu Lihai spoke, his nervousness decreased a lot. Moreover, he used his actions to hide the waves in his heart, which made Yao Haidong and Leng Hongyan feel relieved. Because at this time, the old man laughed again. This laughter was purely the laughter of an adult seeing a child, without any other elements. Of course, Grandpa Leng would never suspect that his wife, who had never married him, had anything to do with the little boy in front of him. In his eyes, both Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai were people who did not forget to dig a well when they drank water, and they had always been trusted by Leng Hongyan.
"Not bad, young man, you're quite good at learning. It seemed that this young man was indeed very perceptive. Whether it's in the army or in other industries, understanding is still important, "the old man said and gestured for everyone to take a seat.
A crisis that Liu Lihai thought might happen was over. It was not until he sat back in his seat that he truly breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, the person who was most relaxed was Tao Haidong. He was really worried for Liu Lihai just now. If he messed up the rare opportunity to meet, he would not be able to bear the consequences. Speaking of which, at the old man's age, marrying a woman of Leng Hongyan's age was comfortable to look at and touch. But he couldn't do it. All he did was spend money to buy a big green hat for himself to wear. It was like an 82-year-old old man marrying a 28-year-old young woman. He could not do anything about it. He did not know what these old married couples were thinking.
At this time, Yao Haidong's thoughts diverged, and he actually thought about the activities in bed. He could not help but blush. He quickly pretended to set the bowls and chopsticks to hide his embarrassment. However, Leng Hongyan did not let him go. He jokingly asked Yao Haidong, "Haidong, what good things are you thinking about? You're secretly happy."
After Leng Hongyan said this, the old man and Liu Lihai's gaze turned to Yao Haidong. Yao Haidong panicked and stammered, "I, I, I". He stuttered for a long time and did not know what to say.
Liu Lihai was a little confused by Yao Haidong's behavior. How could Yao Haidong, who was so good at talking and doing things, be nervous?
The old man laughed, pointed to the wine and said to Leng Hongyan, "Yanyan, serve us the wine. If we don't drink this wine, I think Haidong and Xiao Liu won't be able to let go."
Yao Haidong did not expect the old man to call him "Haidong" like Leng Hongyan. He somewhat blamed himself for thinking like that. This old married couple's energy and passion was something he could not experience. Besides, it was not a big deal if he did not know whether he was being cuckolded or not. Wasn't it fine as long as he lived a comfortable life? Moreover, Leng Hongyan and Liu Lihai were also in the past. He believed that after Leng Hongyan became the general's wife, he would not make the old man wear a green hat again. Moreover, Liu Lihai also met the old man. Would he still dare to do so? Did he not want his life anymore?
With this thought, Yao Haidong quickly picked up the wine glass and stood up. He looked at the old man and said, "Chief, this glass of wine is a gift from me. On the day of your wedding, Xiao Liu and I must come. We are also the minister's family. This wine must be drunk well."
"Don't call me Chief. Call me the old man. In terms of age, I can be considered your old man. During this period of time, there are a lot of things to do in the military. During the winter and spring handover, there are usually endless meetings. Also, there are many chores. I really can't find time to hold the wedding banquet. I will have to trouble Yanyan and wait for a while. " At this time, Ji Yunhe also stood up. When Leng Hongyan heard that he was mentioned, he also stood up and signaled Liu Lihai to stand up as well.
Everyone stood up, and the old man said, "This first glass of wine, I propose a toast to you. Yanyan's family is overseas. You two can be considered her brothers. In the future, when Yanyan returns to Jingjiang, you two will be her family. Please take good care of her. "Saying that, the old man took the initiative to drink a glass of wine.
"If there is anything, let us know. We will definitely listen to the old man." Yao Haidong took the lead, and Leng Hongyan and Liu Lihai drank their wine at the same time.
The old man gestured for everyone to sit again. "We are also considered a family, so there is no need to be polite. What you want to eat, what you want to say, just let it go. Don't be reserved. Especially Xiao Liu, you are the youngest. You are the grandson generation. As the saying goes, old and young, old and young are a pair. So, just let it go. If you say something wrong, I won't blame you. "
At this time, the old man's face was calm and even kind. He really looked like Liu Lihai's grandfather, even though he had never seen his grandfather before and couldn't even remember what his father looked like. But the more the old man acted like this, the more he felt guilty. However, he still forced himself to stand up, picked up his wine glass, and walked in front of the old man.
At this time, Yao Haidong and Leng Hongyan both turned their eyes to Liu Lihai. They didn't expect Liu Lihai to come down so quickly to propose a toast. They were also a little afraid that Liu Lihai would be nervous and knock over something, but they were afraid that he would give himself away.
Leng Hongyan was really doing something dangerous. She was really brave. Yao Haidong's heart, which had just calmed down, was on tenterhooks again as he looked at Liu Lihai.
Liu Lihai had already walked in front of the old man. He raised his wine glass and looked at the old man. "Chief, can I call you 'Grandpa'?"
This question made Leng Hongyan's heart tighten. She regretted letting Liu Lihai come to Beijing. She originally wanted to provoke Liu Lihai and hit the little vixen, but she didn't expect the little vixen to be Meng Anda's daughter. She also didn't expect that the little vixen and Liu Lihai had already broken up. Now that the young man was faced with this situation, it was already very awkward and cruel. But she completely didn't expect that Liu Lihai would use the old man's words and really call the old man 'Grandpa'. Where would she be?
Leng Hongyan was a little unhappy, but since Liu Lihai asked the question, she couldn't change anything at this time.
"Of course. In terms of age, I should be your grandfather. "The old man smiled at Liu Lihai.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Liu Lihai suddenly said again. This sentence scared Yao Haidong so much that he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand. When he stole a glance at Leng Hongyan, he saw that Leng Hongyan's expression was also a little uncomfortable.
Yao Haidong hurriedly clamped his chopsticks tighter, afraid that they would fall. He stared at Liu Lihai. What was this Liu Lihai trying to say? Drinking was just drinking. Did he really want to call him 'Grandpa'? Wasn't he too impatient?
Yao Haidong was also unhappy with Liu Lihai.
Just when the old man wanted to say something and everyone had their own thoughts about Liu Lihai, Liu Lihai spoke again. "Grandpa, I'm very excited and nervous now, but at the same time, I'm very happy. Because I've never seen my own grandfather, and I don't remember what my father looks like. In my imagination, it's probably that all grandfathers look as amiable as the Bureau Chief. So, I have to apologize to the Bureau Chief. I know that you look like a grandfather. Even though I've grown up and finally have the chance to call you 'Grandpa', you and the Bureau Chief will become a family. In private, I call the Bureau Chief Sister Leng, Secretary Yao, and Brother Yao. They're like my older brothers and sisters. On the road of my life, they gave me a hand and gave me a lot of valuable experience in life and work. So, from the Bureau Chief's point of view, I have to call the Bureau Chief Brother-in-law again. So, I, I'm a little confused. No matter what you call me, I, I'll drink this cup first. I, I'm really happy and excited. "
Liu Lihai said a lot of things in a mess. After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in his hand. Although Liu Lihai's words were a little confusing, the old man still understood. He actually reached out his hand and stroked Liu Lihai's head like a grandfather. "I really want to have a grandson as big as you. But after my disobedient daughter-in-law gave birth to a granddaughter, she refused to give birth to another child for the Ji family. Sigh, at the end of the day, I'm also a layman. I still value Sun Nan. "As he said that, the old man also drank his cup.
Leng Hongyan and Yao Haidong finally understood Liu Lihai's confusion and relaxed at the same time. In particular, Leng Hongyan walked to the old man's side and said, "Brother Yunhe, today is a family banquet, but you shouldn't drink so much. Come, eat." As he said that, he picked up a bunch of dishes in front of the old man's bowl.
At this moment, Liu Lihai was standing beside this soon-to-be husband and wife. He had all kinds of feelings. He didn't disturb Leng Hongyan picking up dishes for the old man and returned to his seat. There was even a voice in his body that kept apologizing. He had let the old man down, but next time, in the future, he would never touch Leng Hongyan again. He would definitely respect this elder who was like a grandfather.
