Iron Bull Legend

"Ah, this has spread everywhere. Isn't this an attempt to kill me? This is not a good thing, auntie."

"Your grandfather has already said this in front of the leader at my wedding. Moreover, your grandfather also wants to retire and step down from his position in the Magic City to assist you with all his strength. What do you think we should do about this matter?" Chu Miaomiao said in a low voice.

"Aunt, we can joke around, but jokes like this are really not funny. We can't be so aggressive. If this kind of thing gets out, I'll become the target of public criticism. How can I support a family? Besides, I'm only eighteen years old, and I will cause a lot of people to dislike me. Didn't these old men think of this?"

"How would I know? Anyway, your grandfather has already announced it and submitted a report of his resignation to his superiors. He will wait for a vote at the meeting in a few days. You will be officially appointed as the mayor of Yangcheng, and he will step down. This is not something I can control." Chu Miaomiao didn't know how to solve the problem, so she told Tie Niu directly.

"Ah, auntie, you are putting me on the grill, you say I...ah, now I really can't take it anymore, why is it so sudden, Grandpa really doesn't want to continue doing it, he still has a few years before he can retire, why is it so sudden, is there any symptom of Grandpa's health, so he has to retire early?"

"No, your grandfather is in good health. He eats more than me in one meal. He is even more energetic during the Chinese New Year. He is very happy every day with your Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Lao Huazi and Grandpa Bai. Do you think he will retire because of health problems? Isn't it all for you that he retired?"

"My Taigong, you are not doing this for me, you are just trying to screw me over. Tell me, how can this year be so miserable? Not only was I kicked out like a child who got into trouble, but something like this happened. Did Taigong say anything about the opinions from above?"

"I don't know. I just see that your grandpa is getting happier day by day. He smiles more often than before, and he looks much more energetic than before. It seems that he has really let go of everything. I think this is a good thing," Chu Miaomiao said with great emotion.

"Aunt, you can't say that. Grandfather has been doing revolutionary work all his life. Do you think he really wants to come down? Maybe someone knows that we are officials in different places and each is in charge of one place. So, Grandfather came down for me. This sacrifice is really too great. I have been thinking about coming down and settling down these days. How could something like this happen?"

"Don't worry. Since your grandfather arranged this, he must have his reasons. When you come back, have a good chat with him. Your grandfather is not someone who can't let go. He has been busy for most of his life, so he should thank you and take a rest."

"Aunt, this is not what he thinks. Do you know what the mentality of a person who has worked in the system for most of his life is when he retires? He must be disappointed. He may be pretending to be happy in front of you, but I don't know what he feels like inside."

"Since you know, hurry back and have a drink with your grandfather. Now, he has become obsessed with your little liquors. In the past, he seldom drank, but now he has decided to drink two liang of liquor with every meal. He is becoming more and more like a northern uncle."

"Okay, aunt, you just need to take care of this matter. I will solve the problem here as soon as possible. After that, I will rush back and enlighten Grandpa." Tie Niu knew that it was useless to say anything now. He could only go back and persuade Grandpa in person.

"Well, you really have to persuade the old man about this matter. He won't listen to anything the rest of us say. In the old man's heart, there is only you, the little bad guy, hehe..."

The two men put down the phone. Tie Niu's brain was constantly turning and thinking. The old man Taigong must have taken the organizational principles into consideration. After all, it would not be good for the layout above for both grandfather and grandson to be in high positions. He must have stepped down because he heard some rumors.

The old man must have thought about such a sacrifice for a long time. After all, at his age, the next step might be to be among those seven people. However, a true national leader always thinks about how far he wants to go in his lifetime, and the old man is the same.

Forget it, there is still a chance to talk about these things. Now, I am abroad, so it is better to talk about other things. It would be inconvenient to talk about politics. I can only return to Guangzhou. If it is not convenient to go back, I will talk on the phone. At least it will be more reassuring.

Thinking of this, Tie Niu stood up. After all, it was already time for lunch, and having lunch with the queen was considered as a treat as a host. Otherwise, it would be really rude.

When I went upstairs and arrived at the door of the room, I heard laughter from inside. I didn't know what happy things the old queen was talking about. Her laughter was so hearty, so she must have been talking about something happy.

"Grandma, what's the happy news that makes you so happy?" Tie Niu walked in with a smile, and saw two people sitting on the sofa with warm smiles.

"Tie Niu, come and sit down. We are talking about the interesting things about Charles Long's childhood. Will the child be as naughty as he was when he was young in your home? Will he play crazy without any restraint?" The queen's smiling face made Tie Niu feel the change in his mentality.

"No, you don't know. Charles Long is different now than before. He does things very methodically and seriously. You will be surprised when you see him again." Tie Niu spoke well of Prince Charles Long. After all, he was in his own home.

"I believe he will do the same. This time I asked him to go to China so that he could learn some Chinese etiquette and ways of dealing with people. Those people in your family are not simple people. If he can learn even a little bit from each of them, it will be his achievement, haha..."

"You make it sound like there are many talented people in my family..." Before Tie Niu could finish his words, Li Xiaowan walked in quickly and nodded slightly to him, "Grandma, lunch is ready. When we heard that you were here, Mr. Ji from the hotel came over to prepare lunch for you. Would you like to try it?"

"Okay, let's go downstairs and have some simple arrangements. After dinner, I'll go to China. Everything there should have been arranged as well. I'm a little hungry, too." The queen stood up with the help of Laura.

Under the guidance of Li Xiaowan, several people came to Ji Hongyuan's exclusive private room. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the sumptuous lunch on the table, which made them hungry. Ji Hongyuan was busy.

"Welcome Her Majesty the Queen to our store. You really bring honor to our humble shop." Ji Hongyuan heard the conversation and turned around to see the Queen walking in with the support of Laura.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Ji's hard work in making the arrangements. You see, an old lady like me came here without saying hello. I'm sorry to cause trouble to Mr. Ji. Please don't mind." The queen also said polite words and sat directly in the first seat under the arrangement of several people.

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. I am afraid that our inn may not be hospitable enough. I will come here and ask the kitchen to carefully select and lock these. Your Majesty, please try them first to see if they suit your taste." Ji Hongyuan quickly poured a glass of red wine for the queen, and the wine was jumping in the transparent crystal glass.

"Okay, everyone take a seat. Mr. Ji, I have some things to take care of this afternoon, so I'll just have this one drink. If I had nothing else, I would really like to have a good drink. So many sumptuous meals really whet my appetite." The queen politely raised her glass.

The others also raised their glasses, and a sumptuous lunch began. Everyone toasted each other and said polite words at the table, appearing to be in great harmony.

"Grandma, try this. This is something I recently researched. The sea cucumbers were caught by me personally. Teacher Laura loves the taste of this. It is nutritious, beautifies the skin and nourishes the stomach." Tie Niu brought a bowl of sea cucumber millet porridge to the queen.

"I know that this sea cucumber is deep underwater. How did you catch it?" The queen looked at the bowl of seafood porridge with a strong rice aroma with some confusion, stirring it continuously with a spoon.

"Haven't I experienced storms on the sea? That time I found that I could dive to a depth of a hundred meters. It happened that some time ago I went to the seaside to try out my newly bought yacht, and I went to a reef near the coast. Occasionally I caught some seafood, and when I came back I tried to make a few portions. Everyone liked it very much. Please try it," Tie Niu said seductively, as if he was trying to trick a little girl into giving him candy to taste.

"Well, it's very good. This millet porridge tastes a little sweet and soft. It tastes really good, much better than the porridge made from millet. Well, the sea cucumber tastes even better. It not only has the aroma of rice, but also the aroma of meat. This is something I have never eaten before. It is not greasy at all and does not have the fishy smell of the sea. Tieniu, when you have time, give this to Laura and ask him to make it for me when he goes back." The queen was completely conquered by this bowl of sea cucumber porridge.

"Grandma, you can also go to the capital and live in his house. Can't you just ask him to cook whatever you want? My cooking skills are far inferior to his. Don't let me make you angry because you think the food I cook doesn't taste good. Tell me if I am wronged or not."

"Girl, how come you have become so lazy? Why can't you work harder for your future? Being a successful woman doesn't necessarily mean you have to call the shots outside. You also have to keep your man's stomach and your child's mouth at home. This is the best standard for a good wife and a good mother."

"Grandma, what are you talking about? When did I say I was going to get married? I just wanted to be by your side, just like now. Do you dislike me, grandma? Or, isn't it a bit too inhumane that you kick me away now that you have this precious grandson? If you do this again, I will..." Laura was really helpless with her grandma, but what could she do?
