Chapter 1043 Old Wine and Peanuts
Taking a few sips from the teacup, Xu Ze pursed his lips slightly, feeling the gaze that had been fixed on him for a long time, then put down the teacup, with a humble smile on his face, and looked at the man opposite him. bit, said: "If you... want to ask something, then just ask!"
"Okay... you kid... don't pretend to be pure and obedient in front of me..." The old man sighed slowly, looking at the guy opposite who seemed to be a respectful and humble junior , and such words, he shook his head helplessly, and cursed with a smile: "Put away your docile little dog-like appearance, and answer honestly!"
"Hey...you can see it, you should have said it earlier...look how tired I am!" Xu Ze is also the one who always goes downhill. As soon as he said this, he immediately showed up with a playful smile. The original shape, the original sitting posture suddenly collapsed, and then he smiled helplessly with aggrieved face: "In front of others, I have to pretend to be a dignified and dignified military general. In front of you, there's no need to put it on, everyone looks like this in front of you, I think it's annoying for you to look at..."
"Yeah...Of course it's annoying, but who dares to pretend to be docile and innocent in front of me like you, but it looks so fake? Looking at me makes me sick!" He took out a small jar from the drawer of the table, then took out a small porcelain bottle, two cups and a saucer, walked to the sofa next to Xu Ze and sat down.
After putting the things down, under Xu Ze's curious eyes, he carefully opened the jar, shook it, and unexpectedly poured out a plate of crunchy salt and pepper peanuts from the small jar.
Then he picked up the small porcelain bottle and pulled out the small cork, and gently poured two glasses of mellow and fragrant old wine for the two of them.
Seeing the old man's movements, Xu Ze wanted to take the bottle and pour it by himself, but seeing the old man's concentrated appearance, Xu Ze blinked his eyes after his heart moved, and then he didn't make a sound, just watched the old man slowly put the two bottles together. After filling the glass, he sighed contentedly.
Picking up the cup and looking at Xu Ze, the old man sighed with eyes full of eyes: "It's been a long time since I drank like this with others..."
At this time, Xu Ze had put away the lazy smile on his face, picked up the cup, touched the old man lightly, then nodded and said, "I'll accompany you..."
"Squeak..." The old man raised his head and drank the glass with a satisfied look on his face. He put down the glass, then reached out and picked up a peanut, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, then looked at Xu Ze and said with a smile: "The doctor won't let me drink alcohol, and won't let me eat salt and pepper peanuts, saying that it's not good for the heart... But when I'm old, I always want to think about it, and I hide it secretly, and don't tell anyone!"
Speaking of this, the old man seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Xu Ze and laughed, "By the way...you used to be a doctor, so you won't let me eat it!"
Xu Ze's face was submissive at this time, without the slightest affectation like the first one,
Smiling and shaking his head, he said, "You can eat whatever you want...I will guarantee your longevity!"
The old man was slightly taken aback, and after glancing at Xu Ze, he smiled... and said, "What do you do with such a long life? I'm almost seventy now, and it's rare for people to reach seventy. Then you can let go of the burden, and it will be almost enough for you to cultivate for a few years... The requirements are too high, and this is causing trouble for yourself."
Xu Ze said nothing, just picked up the small wine bottle, and filled another glass for the old man.
"You kid...you have ideas, you can make trouble, and you have the capital... you live better than us!" The old man took up the wine glass in satisfaction, and took another sip, but this time he didn't kill it in one gulp, but just took a small sip He took a sip, then looked at Xu Ze and said, "And you can always surprise and shock people... This makes me, an old guy, less and less able to see through you!"
Xu Ze smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "There are many times when I can't understand myself, but in this world, there are always things that need to be done. Do it... and some people are lucky enough to be able to do everything well, and some people are unlucky and can't do anything well..."
Speaking of this, Xu Ze looked at the old man with a slight smile, and said: "Obviously...I am the kind of lucky person, and I have had some unimaginable opportunities, so I can do better than ordinary people, and it is good A lot of that..."
"Well...so, I can control my own destiny better and do what I want to do..." Xu Ze held his wine glass and smiled slightly: "I know many people are confused, but there are some things, You know... hard to say!"
"Of course...you also know that I am generally a good person, and I do my best for the nation and the country...Although I don't like to follow the rules sometimes, I am still very honest after all. A person... I think this should also be the main reason why you have tolerated me all this time!"
Hearing Xu Ze's words, the old man nodded slowly thoughtfully, picked up the wine glass and drank another glass slowly, and after a long time, he looked at Xu Ze and said slowly: "I'm old too. After carrying the burden for a year, you are about to step down, so... you have to pay more attention to yourself, even though you have been in the military for the past two years, you have been very stable and even have a big layout; "
"But I'm getting old, and I think you're not bad, and you're reasonably well-mannered, so I don't want to ask too many questions; just remember, it's only been a year, and you still need to restrain your temper and keep a low profile. Some, you know, except for an old guy like me, probably no one will follow you like this in the future..."
Looking at the old man's eyes that were gradually getting a little yellow, Xu Ze nodded, raised his wine glass, and said to the old man, "I respect you!"
"Okay... It's the last drink. Although I can't listen to everything the doctor said, I still have to listen to it... I've had enough presumptuousness today... Haha..." Seeing Xu Ze nodding seriously, The old man picked up the wine glass with a smile, touched Xu Ze lightly, and then sat down with satisfaction.
After coming out of Huairen Hall, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. After talking with the old man, Xu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his watch, then called Lin Yumeng and asked where she was ...
Lin Yumeng had been resting in the hotel in the afternoon and did not go out. Of course, she was also waiting for Xu Ze's call. She didn't want to miss the opportunity to have dinner with Brother Aze.
