most charming

() Today's military compound is no longer as dilapidated as it used to be, but has been rebuilt into du li villas, like a high-end villa area, with maple trees planted on both sides of the road, which is quite cozy.

Deep in the compound, there are several villas that look different, with higher floors and larger land area. Guo Dongliang parked his car in front of one of them and said, "Home!"

Lin Tao got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the LV bag for Guoguo. The little girl pouted, as if she didn't like it.

"Guoguo, stop pretending!" Guo Dongliang teased from the side.

The smile between Guoguo's brows and eyes became stronger and stronger, she snatched it over, touched this and looked at that, and said, "Brother Lin, you won't buy a high-quality imitation to fool me?"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Am I that kind of person? It's a good thing I put the shopping receipt in it, otherwise it would be really unreasonable."

Guoguo opened the purse, took out the receipt and glanced at it, her small mouth immediately formed an "o" shape.

"More than 4 yuan, you are really willing!" Having said that, she couldn't put it down even more.

"I have a gift too?" Guo Dongliang didn't refuse, looking at the label on the box, he knew it wouldn't be cheap.

"It's just you two, don't let it slip!" Lin Tao smiled wryly. He really didn't think about going to Guo's house to display it, and he didn't know if it would be enough to buy some souvenirs.

Guo Dongliang saw that he started to dump things outside, and said: "You don't need to bring anything, my family doesn't have so many etiquettes."

Lin Tao said, "However, it's kind of interesting."

After handing out some local products from Taiwan, Lin Tao put the suitcase back in the trunk, and then followed the Guo brothers and sisters into the villa.

There is a gazebo in the yard, and there is a deck chair in the gazebo, on which lies an old man, with a gray blanket covering his legs.

Guoguo skipped over, the old man opened his eyes, and the cloudy eyes lit up instantly.

"Guoguo, you woke me up again when I was sleeping!" The old man sighed helplessly.

"Grandpa, sleeping all the time is not good for your health, you need to get up and move around!" Guoguo said with a chuckle, and stepped forward to help Grandpa raise the reclining chair.

Guo Dongliang said from behind: "Grandpa, Guoguo and I have invited a distinguished guest back for you."

This old man is the pillar of the Guo family, General Guo Zhijian of the Republic.

"Guo Lao, I'm Lin Tao."

Hearing Lin Tao's name, Guo Lao turned his head to look over, and instantly exuded an iron-blooded aura that belonged to a soldier. In Lin Tao's view, he was no longer the old man who was old enough to need help from others, but was like a mountain like a mountain, and he needed his own mountain. Yang Zhi.

"Are you Lin Tao?" Guo Zhijian examined carefully, his eyes moving up and down, but Lin Tao stood there calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Very, very good!"

Guo Zhijian showed a slight smile, picked up the crutch beside him, and stood up with Guo Dongliang's support.

"Old!" He suddenly sighed, his eyes flicked over the three "children". "It's better to be young!"

Guoguo and Guodongliang looked at each other. They didn't know why grandpa suddenly expressed such emotion, but they were sensible enough not to ask.

"Little Lin, come in and sit down!"

Guo Zhijian can’t really say that he has limited mobility, even if he is unsupported, he can still walk, but his knee joints are not very flexible. This is because he was injured in the war in the early years and suffered from severe rheumatic bone disease. I feel that when I get old, I will suffer quite a lot.

Walking into the living room, the furnishings in the old general's house were very old, as if they had moved from a rather old home to a new one, and the items seriously did not match the interior decoration style.

"sit!"

Guo Zhijian said a word, and the three juniors sat down on the wooden chairs one after another.

Lin Tao just sat down and stood up again, put the souvenir in his hand on the table beside Guo Zhijian, and said, "Guo Lao, this is a souvenir I brought back from Taiwan, you can try it later!"

Guo Zhijian nodded and said, "You are interested, sit down!" He didn't know that these things must have been allocated by Lin Tao temporarily, and they were definitely not specially bought for himself.

He saw through it but didn't point it out, and said: "I've been thinking about asking Guoguo to invite you, and I want to thank you very much, but it's a pity that you have something to do every time."

Lin Tao glanced at Guoguo, she really deserved a beating for lying about the military situation.

He chuckled and said, "I'm really sorry, I've been busy recently. I went to Taiwan Island a few days ago, and I just came back today. I met Guoguo at the airport, and decided to visit Guoguo on the spur of the moment. It's somewhat presumptuous."

Guo Zhijian said: "It's too late for me to be happy. Without your care, Guoguo might have suffered a lot of grievances. This girl has been naughty since she was a child, she is not like a girl at all, but after all, she is young, and good things happen to bad things outside. A person with a heart will inevitably be bullied."

"Grandpa, I can do it!" Guoguo protested.

"Are you okay?" Guo Zhijian squinted her eyes, and Guoguo immediately lowered his head and did not speak.

"Xiao Lin, if something happens, don't leave at night. Guoguo's parents are on a business trip, so I'll treat you to dinner on their behalf, and that's my thanks."

Lin Tao said: "Mr. Guo, this can't be done. I really didn't do anything. What's more, Guoguo and I have known each other for a long time. It's just that I couldn't know her identity at the time, so I couldn't be sure."

"You guys have known each other for a long time?" Guo Zhijian had never heard of Guoguo.

Lin Tao explained: "Actually, Guoguo and I knew each other when we were playing an online game. Her name in the game is the same as her real name, so when I first met her, I analyzed a few things. , I knew it was her, so I was still willing to help her when I was considered a bad person!"

Guoguo muttered in a low voice, "Why are you talking about that!"

Guo Zhijian smiled and said: "This girl is indeed very defensive, but this is what I taught her. It is necessary to be defensive outside!"

Lin Tao nodded and said, "That's true, and she did a good job!"

Guo Dongliang said in a low voice: "Did you hear that, give the two sweet dates a slap!"

Guoguo stared at him fiercely, and said in a low voice, "You're finished, I'll call Sister Ying later!"

"You girl, you have such a strong desire for revenge!" Guo Dongliang straightened up, but he didn't dare to provoke her again.

Guo Zhijian insisted on inviting Lin Tao to dinner, but he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

After chatting for a while, Guo Zhijian showed a tired look, sighed helplessly, and said, "When one gets old, one's physical strength is also gone, so you'll be tired after a while!"

Lin Tao said: "Old Guo, you go to rest and let Guoguo and Dongliang talk with me!"

Guo Zhijian said: "Okay, I'll go to rest for a while, remember to have dinner together at night!"

Lin Tao said: "Don't worry, I promise not to leave!"

Guo Dongliang sent his grandfather upstairs to rest, and when he came down, he saw Guo Guo talking happily, and occasionally heard his and Zhang Qianying's names.

"Guoguo, what are you talking about?" Guo Dongliang was very depressed, probably his sister was talking about some embarrassing things about her pursuit of Zhang Qianying.

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's all real people and real things!" Guoguo is not afraid of this brother, and bullies him all day long when he has nothing to do. This is the way the two have been getting along since they were young.

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Dongliang, sister Ying hasn't caught up yet?"

Guo Dongliang was a few years older than him, so he didn't feel anything wrong with him calling him by his first name. On the contrary, it showed that the relationship between the two was one step closer. In addition, he and Zhang Qianying had such a good relationship, maybe it would be a real success in the future. He became his own brother-in-law.

"It's difficult!" Guo Dongliang sighed, "Qianying thinks too much, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Guo family!"

Lin Tao said: "Sister Ying is really too, you don't care, why is she so reserved!"

Guo Dongliang slapped his thigh suddenly. He used to think Lin Tao was not pleasing to his eyes, but what he said just now really meant that he was in his heart, and now he is pleasing to the eye no matter how he looks at it.

"That's right, that's what I told Qianying. She just has to think about it again. I'm so worried!"

Lin Tao said: "Don't worry, wait until I return to Junbei to persuade her, if you don't seize such a good opportunity, what are you waiting for?" He said with a smile, "But you have to work hard, don't always lose face, die If you chase after death, you still don't believe that you can't succeed."

Guoguo interjected: "Actually, that's what I said too. My brother just cares about saving face, and chasing women is even more about saving face. You deserve it!"

Guo Dongliang said depressedly: "Lin Tao said it, and you said it?"

Guoguo raised his head and snorted, "Why, I can't say?" His eyes couldn't stop threatening.

"Yes, yes, you can say, okay?" Guo Dongliang didn't want to make her angry.

Seeing that there was still some time, Lin Tao stood up and said, "Dongliang, lend me your car, and I'll go do some private business."

Guo Dongliang originally wanted to send him off, but when he heard that it was a private matter, he knew that he didn't want others to know, and said: "Military vehicles can't be driven casually, now the central government is strictly preventing private use of military vehicles, I have a cheap car, you can use it first! "

Guoguo said, "I want to go too!"

Guo Dongliang rarely stared at her, and said a lesson: "What are you going to do, didn't you hear Lin Tao say it's a private matter?"

"Oh!" Guoguo stopped immediately.

Guo Dongliang lent Lin Tao an old Elantra, which was in good condition and was easy to drive.

Lin Tao drove to the entrance of the alley, parked the car by the side of the road, walked to Guo Yiling's house with his things, and knocked hard on the door.

Aunt Li opened the door and said with a smile on her face, "My uncle is here!"

Lin Tao almost didn't stumble. Guo's nannies call him that. Could it be that Guo Zhan has agreed by default?

He smiled and handed over a small portion of souvenirs, and said, "Aunt Li, this is for you!"

Aunt Li thanked her with a smile all over her face, and let Lin Tao in.

Yan Junxiu came out of the main house, looked at Lin Tao with a smile, and said, "Xiao Lin, are you back from Taiwan?"

"Hello, Auntie! I just came back and borrowed a car from a friend. I happened to come to see you!" Lin Tao sent the things up.

Yan Junxiu scolded: "Look at you, you've come here, what else do you bring!" Having said that, she didn't give in. "Come on, go inside and rest!"

Guo Zhan is a busy man, even if he is not at home during the day off, there are only two people, Yan Junxiu and Aunt Li.

After chatting for more than an hour, Lin Tao said goodbye and left. Yan Junxiu told him to go home to stay at night, and drink two cups with Guo Zhan by the way.It is said that after he left last time, Guo Zhan has been lamenting that there are few people drinking at home. It seems that his impression of himself is not that bad.

Lin Tao drove to the Xishan Villas. After registering at the gate, he parked the car at the gate of Zhang's house, and the gate opened.

Liang Huiru stood at the door with a smile, and greeted warmly: "When did you come back?" The tone seemed to be talking to her own son.

Lin Tao stepped forward with his things in his hands and said, "Godmother, I just came back!"

Liang Huiru said: "Come into the house quickly, the old man is short of someone to drink tea with!"
