After Xu Xiao's repeated solicitations, Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru stayed in the provincial capital to have lunch with Xu Xiao. In fact, they went to Xu's house for a casual meal. Mrs. Xu personally cooked several delicious meals, and Xu Chunting also rushed
He came back and gave the two of them a lot of face.
During the meal, Peng Yuanzheng talked about Xin'an from a side perspective. The focus was naturally on Xin'an City's plan to establish the Yunshui Development Zone. Regarding Peng Yuanzheng's view that the construction of the development zone was launched in a rush and was unscientific and unstandardized, Xu Chunting agreed on the spot.
It even stated that the province will standardize the application and launch of various development zone projects in various cities and towns in the next step.
Xu Chunting's attitude made Peng Yuanzheng secretly happy. His manuscript was consistent with the "opinions" of the provincial party committee leaders. Only when such a manuscript is published can it attract attention from above and below and play a major role.
We had a meal at Xu's house and the atmosphere was very good. Before leaving, Xu Chunting solemnly asked Peng Yuanzheng to bring a New Year gift to Mr. and Mrs. Feng. The gift was a set of ancient books. Peng Yuanzheng did not open the package to read it.
He accepted it. He knew in his heart that he was asked to bring a gift to his grandfather Feng Lao. This was probably the key factor why Xu Chunting made a special trip to have dinner with them.
In fact, this is normal. Xu Chunting was a cadre promoted by Mr. Feng. He worked beside Mr. Feng when he was young and had a close relationship with the Feng family. Every year during the holidays, Xu Chunting would give some New Year gifts to Mr. Feng and his wife. It was completely
Out of personal relationship.
Xu Xiao's mother also gave a gift, a pair of jade bracelets, to celebrate the engagement of Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru.
Peng Yuanzheng made some concessions but accepted it.
If you don't accept it, it means alienation from the Xu family, which will not only make Xu Chunting and his wife unhappy. It will also hurt Xu Xiao's face.
Leave the provincial capital and go straight to the capital.
Around evening, they entered the capital city. Feng Qianru called her family on the phone. Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin asked them to rush directly to the Feng family's new home - the villa area outside Hongye Valley on the outskirts of Beijing.
Considering the current situation of the Feng family, with the consent of Mr. and Mrs. Feng, the Feng family moved out of the city and into this elegant villa area in the suburbs of Beijing. The two connected villas were renovated and connected. The first floor is the Feng family
The entire reception room and guest rooms, the left half of the second floor is the residence of Feng Botao and his wife, while the right half belongs to Meng Lin and Peng Yuanzheng.
Although Meng Lin was a widower, he still supported the second wife of the Feng family.
The third floor is the space for Feng Bolin's family and his sister-in-law Feng Boxia's family.
Of course, on weekdays, Feng Bolin and Feng Boxia's family live in the city, and they only rush back to reunite with their families on weekends or during the Chinese New Year. On weekdays, the main ones are Feng Botao, his wife, and Meng Lin. Mrs. Feng will often go out to Dahongmen and come to stay.
a few days.
The night is dark and the cold wind is howling.
The off-road vehicle turned on its headlights. It entered the villa area and slowly drove into the Feng family's villa. Through the bright street lights, Peng Yuanzheng could clearly see his aunt Song Yuzhen and his mother Meng Lin standing side by side at the door, waiting anxiously.
With.
Meng Lin's face was glowing red and she was full of energy. Her complexion was obviously much better than before. Peng Yuanzheng could clearly see the stretch of the crow's feet at the corners of her mother's eyes and the brightness of her skin, which showed that she was enjoying her spiritual life and improving her material life during this period.
Abundance.
Peng Yuanzheng felt hot after not seeing his mother for a long time. When the car stopped, he opened the door and got out of the car and hurriedly took Feng Qianru's hand and walked towards his aunt and mother. The two drivers helped them carry a lot of luggage.
salute.
The cold wind blew like a weave, making the lights at the door sway coldly.
Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin saw Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru walking over hand in hand and affectionately, looked at each other, and smiled happily.
The children raised by the family know everything about them, and it is a joyful thing for all the elders of the Feng family to have these two children together.
"Aunt, Mom!"
"Aunt, Mom!"
Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru greeted the two elders almost at the same time. Song Yuzhen smiled slightly, took Feng Qianru's hand and said with a gentle smile, "Qianru, Yuanzheng, don't be so complicated in the future, just call me mom!"
"
Meng Lin also smiled and agreed, "Well, just call me mom."
Feng Qianru's face suddenly turned red, and she threw herself into Song Yuzhen's arms with embarrassment, acting coquettishly and angrily. Peng Yuanzheng also felt slightly embarrassed, but he could only acquiesce with a smile.
Song Yuzhen is Feng Qianru's mother, Peng Yuanzheng's aunt, and his mother-in-law; and the same goes for Meng Lin, who is Feng Qianru's aunt and her mother-in-law. This complicated relationship is actually very simple to sort out:
Just call me mom.
…
…
Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin cooked dinner in person. The Feng family hadn't eaten yet, waiting for the two of them to come back to eat together. After leading the two of them through the door, Song Yuzhen shouted upstairs: "Old Feng, Qianru
You are back from the expedition, come down quickly and wash your hands while we eat!"
Feng Botao responded and walked downstairs slowly.
He was wearing a light-colored shirt, a gray woolen vest, and black trousers. He had a steady step and a calm demeanor. Even at home, his demeanor as a leading cadre could not be concealed. When he reached Feng Botao's position, he became
Leaders who have been leading cadres for decades exude the aura of power in their every move, and there is no need to deliberately pretend to be anything.
Peng Yuanzheng quickly stood up and greeted him, "Uncle!"
Feng Qianru also smiled and ran over to grab Feng Botao's arm and said affectionately, "Dad, I haven't seen you for a few months. You seem to have lost a lot of weight. You should take care of yourself!"
"Yuanzheng, you are back." Feng Botao smiled gently, nodded to Peng Yuanzheng, and pinched Feng Qianru's nose affectionately, "Qianru, daddy is not thin, but I found that you have lost a lot of weight! Is that right?
Xin'an, Yuanzheng didn't take good care of you?"
"I haven't lost weight yet. I've gained three pounds. Tsk, tsk, I'm still planning to lose weight." Feng Qianru smiled and took Feng Botao's arm, and walked towards the restaurant together.
Song Yuzhen also smiled happily when she saw her father and daughter looking particularly affectionate after a long separation. Meng Lin looked at his son with soft eyes and waved to him, "Yuanzheng, go wash your hands first!"
Peng Yuanzheng agreed and ran to the bathroom to wash his hands. Not long after, Feng Qianru also walked in. She whispered in Peng Yuanzheng's ear, "Brother Yuanzheng, after eating and taking a shower, put on the clothes I bought for you."
New underwear."
Peng Yuanzheng smiled, wiped his hands, hugged her and leaned over her ear, laughing and saying, "I'll go to your room tonight, Qianru..."
Feng Qianru was so embarrassed that she suddenly tried to push Peng Yuanzheng away but couldn't, so she stamped her feet and said, "No, my parents are here, you are not allowed to come to my room at night!"
"Then it's the same thing if you come to my room..."
Feng Qianru's face turned as red as a ripe apple. She spat lightly, lowered her voice and said shyly, "Let go! We're going out to eat!"
Peng Yuanzheng shook his head, and with a familiar hand, he reached into her skirt and stroked her smooth and tender back. Feng Qianru's body suddenly became weak, and she almost collapsed in Peng Yuanzheng's arms.
Her body was too sensitive. Peng Yuanzheng reluctantly pulled his hand back, kissed her smooth forehead with pity, and then said softly, "Qianru, let's go out to eat."
Feng Qianru glared at Peng Yuanzheng fiercely, washed her face in a hurry, calmed herself down, and then left the bathroom with Peng Yuanzheng and walked to the restaurant.
Feng Botao was sitting on the front seat, while Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin were sitting there with playful smiles on their lips, watching the two people walking over from the other side. Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin were people who had been there, and when they saw Feng Qianru, all the youthful feelings she had in the past were wiped away.
Empty, replaced by a blooming style, and there is a hint of spring in the corners of the beautiful eyes, I can't help but smile at each other, feeling extremely satisfied.
It would be abnormal for young men and women who are in love to live together in Xin'an for so long if something doesn't happen. In fact, the Feng family wanted to send Feng Qianru to Xin'an to live with Peng Yuanzheng.
Let something happen between the two of them.
"Sit down, let's eat." Feng Botao coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and waved to the two of them.
Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru sat down next to each other, and Meng Lin enthusiastically served Feng Qianru some food. The more she looked at Feng Qianru, the happier she felt. For Meng Lin, it was so satisfying that his son could marry a girl like Feng Qianru.
extent.
Meng Lin's enthusiasm was obviously that of a future mother-in-law entertaining a new daughter-in-law. Feng Qianru's pretty face was rosy, and her face felt a little feverish as she thanked her.
Feng Botao casually asked Peng Yuanzheng about his work in Xin'an, and then said in a deep voice, "Yuanzheng, your grandfather will meet you tomorrow morning, so be mentally prepared."
Feng Botao's tone was a little solemn.
Peng Yuanzheng's heart moved and he smiled softly and said, "Uncle, how are your grandparents doing recently?"
"It's not bad. Your grandma cares about you and said she would come over to see you tomorrow. Your grandpa disagreed and said he wanted you to go inside and have a good talk with you."
Feng Botao put down his chopsticks, looked at Peng Yuanzheng and said, "Whatever your grandfather asks you, you must tell the truth, and don't be careless!"
Peng Yuanzheng felt ashamed and said, "Uncle, I don't dare—"
Peng Yuanzheng felt that his uncle's words were a bit solemn, and he felt a little uneasy. He knew very well that every move he made in Xin'an would be in the sight of Mr. Feng and Feng Botao, and there might be some things that the old man would not be satisfied with.
But it is normal to be dissatisfied. Mr. Feng has high demands and expectations on him, so he will naturally find faults in his eggs. Moreover, looking at the problem from Mr. Feng’s height and perspective, no matter what Peng Yuanzheng does, there are “flaws”
"How can a young man of this age do things perfectly? If Mr. Feng is satisfied with everything, it can only mean that the old man doesn't pay much attention to him.
The result of the old man's lack of attention is the marginalization of his position in the Feng family. Although the grandson is still a grandson, when the grandson only becomes a grandson by blood, in a family like the Feng family, it is a kind of futility in a sense.
The sadness of words.(To be continued)
