Chapter 126 Family style, southern orthodoxy.
Don't say that you can spend money and make trouble.
If you make a little mistake or fail to make progress, you will be confined to think about your mistakes.
Other people's grandfathers are relatives of different generations, but they can't spoil their grandsons.
But their grandfather was extremely cruel to their grandsons and doubted life several times.
OK, I'm used to it anyway. Who said that this has happened in the past twenty years?
But what happened to Xu Lai now is that he is even more kinship to him than to their grandchildren.
It was so sour and envious, jealous and hatred.
The style of the door is different.
The family is not a businessman or a politician.
Instead, he joined the army and shouldered the important responsibility of protecting one side.
What if even your own children and grandchildren cannot be restrained and disciplined?
How to reassure outsiders?
How can you still have the appearance to preach to foreigners?
After Humen, you must look like after Humen.
Although Men Shuyu is old, she can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes! The reason why she now only loves her granddaughter Men Qingxiao.
It's entirely because most of the other granddaughters are either married or are training in the army and local areas, so they don't need to worry about it.
However, he gave this little granddaughter a high hope and did not disappoint him, so he spoiled her and no one dared to gossip.
Today, when she heard that Xu Lai was coming, she started making trouble. No matter how she made a fuss, Men Shuyu would never let go. Finally, she risked the consequences of offending her and asked Men Fengyu to temporarily lock her up so as not to cause any trouble.
The little granddaughter is good in every aspect and is almost perfect. It is her pride, and it is not an exaggeration to regard it as the pearl in her hand.
But I was fascinated by Xu Lai. As long as I saw Xu Lai, I could easily lose control.
It was this that made him worry. If Xu Lai did not have the love in Yucheng, he would definitely be happy to promote the marriage between Xu Lai and Men Qingxiao.
Of course, he is happier than anyone else with a grandson-in-law like Xu Lai.
But Xu Lai's daughter is six years old! He can't force Xu Lai to abandon his wife and children and then marry her granddaughter, right?
If he does this, will his family still be shameless?
This road is not long or short, but the old man is old and slow, so he walked for about ten minutes, and chatted with Xu Lai with a smile along the way.
Xu Lai also responded with a smile, and there was no dispute between the two.
But neither of them knew that after following this path, the things they had to face would no longer be so calm.
"Sit next to me."
After entering the dining room, Men Shuyu took Xu Lai's hand to the left side of the main seat, and asked him to sit down with him.
This action envied all the children and grandchildren.
The left and right position is naturally the left position.
Letting Xu Lai sit on the left of the main seat is enough to show Xu Lai's noble status and what is his position in the heart of the family.
The Men family was envious and even Men Qingyan was not qualified to sit next to the old man.
However, no matter how envy is, no one is jealous.
Because Xu Lai is really qualified to sit there! Everything he has won today is achieved by his own strength.
Such a huge family with many talents and a star-studded family can't compete with Xu Lai, who has almost no background?
They lose facelessly and are not as skilled as others. What complaints do they have?
Xu Lai sat down for granted, facing the elite soldiers, his face remained calm and without any fright.
Anyone present, if placed outside, will definitely be a person who will be welcomed by the leader. He has a high position and a huge connection. He can change the fate of countless people in just one word.
But at this time, they all became a companion for lunch. After both Men Shuyu and Xu Lai sat down, they took their seats in sequence.
The round table was very big, and there were about twenty people sitting there.
In the seat, Xu Lai also met many familiar faces. He had dealt with them many times before, so he no longer needed Men Shuyu to introduce them.
The luncheon was held slowly, and at the banquet was almost chatting with Men Shuyu and Xu Lai.
Sometimes, the men Fengting would respond a few words.
And the younger generation couldn't even insert their mouths, and they sat upright, swallowed slowly without making any sounds.
Men Shuyu was very happy and made an exception and drank three glasses of wine in a row, but he still couldn't resist his enthusiasm. Later, he asked several grandchildren to come to help him drink, as if he was deliberately trying to get Xu Lai drunk.
Xu Lai took it one by one, and everyone came forward was rejected.
Soon, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.
Almost everyone on the table drank a lot of wine and had almost eaten it. The eldest daughter-in-law came over and poured a bowl of tea for Men Shuyu.
Men Shuyu wiped his lips, his smile slightly retracted, and he looked at Xu Lai calmly: "Xu Lai, are you really going to retreat this time?"
Xu Lai nodded slightly and implicitly thanked the parents and daughter-in-law who had turned over Qingcha. Facing the old man's question, Xu Lai's eyes were slightly confused and he did not rush to answer.
In the field, a group of family members all stood up and listened carefully.
This is their most concerned issue.
Xu Lai refused to retreat, and it was difficult for their family to build a new foundation. They would always live in his shadow, which was very frustrating, leaving them with talent and fighting spirit, but nowhere to display.
If Xu Laizhen is ready to quit, the ending will be completely different.
Not to mention everyone is happy, at least they can breathe a sigh of relief. Not only can they have a big platform to display their skills, but they can also regain control of the Tiannan War Zone and will not be so passive.
Although Xu Lai himself retired.
But his application for retirement in Central China was not approved at all, so he resigned privately, violated military orders, and was not formally retired! In terms of identity, he was still the Lord of Tiannan! As long as Xu Lai was still the Lord of Tiannan, the Tiannan War Zone would not have the right to speak too much, and Xu Lai would be stuck in the way.
In the eyes of the Men family, this is an eternal thorn.
If Xu Lai doesn't really retreat for a day, the family will be uneasy.
"I really want to withdraw from this move."
Xu Lai said calmly: "Five years ago, I first came to Tiannan. Once five years have passed, no matter where I am or what position I am, I will immediately step down. This matter can be investigated and approved by the above."
"Five years have passed, and my term has passed, even as agreed, will naturally step down automatically. All the existing affairs of Tiannan have nothing to do with me."
Although Xu Lai said this, the whole family was still frowning. This set of words was equivalent to not saying it, and there was nothing substantial to express it.
Men Shuyu said: "You have grown up too fast and have reached the point where the general district attaches great importance to it, so if you want to quit, it is not that simple."
"That's nothing to do with me. Anyway, I've decided to retreat, and no one can control my decision."
Xu Lai gently picked up the tea, drank it lightly, and said calmly: "If it weren't for the prison disaster seven years ago, I wouldn't have appeared in the Tiannan War Zone. Due to five years of fate, I don't need to stay any longer."
