The bungalow area within the Third Ring Road, with the exception of a small area where a few large courtyards gather, represents a symbol of status and power.

There are standing guards in the light and dark, the alley is clean and tidy, especially quiet, people with a little insight will immediately react when they see this kind of area, here is either rich or expensive, and even with the development of the capital, the rich are no longer qualified to continue to occupy a large area of land.

The snow in the quiet alley is very clean, follow Pei Pei's guidance, come to an antique courtyard, the exterior wall and the gate are obviously repaired in the later period, but the wooden gate retains its original appearance, the corners and corners of the black paint have been polished, the buckle is very light but has lost color, revealing a quaint atmosphere to the face, knocked on the door lightly in less than twenty seconds, there is a thin half-old man opened the courtyard door.

moss in the corners, grinding stones in the ground, spotless courtyards; Silent emptiness, quiet houses, old window lattices.

The concierge, the storage room, the living room, and the servant's room constitute the layout of the first courtyard, passing through the transparent living room, entering the larger courtyard, the houses on both sides, the family living room in the center, and the separate small courtyard at the corner of the house, through the gap between the houses, you can see the deeper courtyard.

Wearing a down jacket and pants that didn't fit well, Cheng Xiaoyu followed Pei Pei into the courtyard that symbolized some kind of power and status a little crampedly, and he had already been half-informed through novels and some news on the Internet.

Old Man Suo sat upright, a large family sat on the sofa, and the reports on the TV news continued.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's first impression, everyone was very disappointed, even the old lady Suo who came to help shook her head secretly, looking at the girl of the Pei family, with red lips and white willow leaves and curved eyebrows, whether it was from dress or temperament, the old man Suo, who was used to seeing celebrities in the capital, had to praise what a handsome girl.

Look at Cheng Xiaoyu again, the gray-black down jacket, the woolen pants, the hair is a little messy and looks a little dusty, the casual shoes under his feet are muddy and dirty, not to mention old-fashioned, obviously not enough attention to this meeting, such a dress to dare to meet the future father-in-law's family, it is really unique enough.

The people in the room frowned slightly, the expressions on their faces were not very good, Pei Yuejin and Sheng Meilan, a pair of people who didn't have too many prejudices about Cheng Xiaoyu, were not in a very good mood, when Pei Pei called before, everyone took it for granted that they were just assisting in the surrounding area, where did they think that Cheng Xiaoyu was one of the five main forces on the scene, the mobile phone video played on the TV was not very clear, and the distance was far away, plus Cheng Xiaoyu changed his clothes, everyone didn't think about it, the impression was very bad, but they didn't say anything, everything is as polite as greeting ordinary guests, there is nothing surprising, and there is no deliberate embarrassment to Cheng Xiaoyu, after all, when Old Man Suo sits there, he has to think about the attitude of others.

In a word, neither lukewarm, neither salty nor light.

As for Cheng Xiaoyu, saying that he is neither humble nor arrogant, he didn't give you a chance to play, a very formulaic meeting, Pei Yuejin and Sheng Meilan faced Cheng Xiaoyu very plainly, that is, they didn't show how much resistance, nor did they show how close, Cheng Xiaoyu also felt it, and tried to keep himself humble, even if it wasn't what he wanted.

Pei Pei always sat next to Cheng Xiaoyu, looking at everyone calmly, holding hands, Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to let go of her, so he held it.

"Xiao Cheng, when you come to be a guest, you should always wear regular clothes, isn't it difficult at home?" Mrs. Huang, the wife of the old man Suo, who was born as a progressive young man, was very kind and personable, which eased the atmosphere in a timely manner, and also gave Cheng Xiaoyu a step, and at the same time inadvertently turned the topic to Cheng Xiaoyu's family.

Old Man Suo sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, knowing that he was far inferior to his wife in this regard, so he didn't speak easily, and everything was handled by her.

Cheng Xiaoyu just wanted to speak, there were hurried footsteps at the gate, the footsteps were very chaotic, there should be a lot of people, walking into the hall door, a young man in his early thirties greeted the people in the house, behind him, walked into several Cheng Xiaoyu both strange and familiar figures, less than an hour ago, the two sides also worked together to rescue the trapped passengers, Qi Yu and the four.

Everything changed after Qi Yu excitedly grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu's hand, and the biggest reaction was Old Man Suo, the tiger master has no dog grandson, the grandson of the old monster, how can he be such an unbearable person, it turns out that the unsung hero he has been looking for on TV just now is in front of him, no wonder he is dressed like that.

Under the attention of everyone, Cheng Xiaoyu took off the down jacket covered with sweat, and the woolen sweater inside was stained with a lot of blood, and he didn't have time to change it for a while. Under the supporters of Jia Haiyang, the young man who just walked in first, and Qi Yu, no one would jump out and touch this moldy head.

It's not dark yet, the people of the Pei family have also left one after another, and they have seen it, today's occasion is not an opportunity to raise objections, they are all busy people, during the Spring Festival, they need to have various group worship or private visits, and they all leave early, originally Jia Haiyang pulled a few brothers to come to the house to wash up and go out at night, Qi Yu and Cheng Xiaoyu found a common topic, the five young people stayed behind, Old Man Suo and Mrs. Huang naturally did not leave, and arranged dinner, Pei Yuejin and Sheng Meilan's attitude changed, What they value more is character, and they can choose to save people without hesitation in that situation, after the misunderstanding of the first impression is eliminated, the impression of the first visit to the door is very good for the two of them, and Pei Yuejin made an exception and drank a glass of wine during the meal before leaving under the waiting of the driver and the secretary.

And during the whole dinner, what made Cheng Xiaoyu unbearable the most was the special light emanating from the sight of this pair of old people when they looked at themselves, not only Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't stand it, Pei Pei couldn't stand it, but he was an elder, and you couldn't answer your questions, the core of the question was naturally to ask Cheng Laowei, the old man's wrist knocked on the side between three words and then learned Cheng Laowei's current situation, and he was sad and full of admiration, saying that he would really retire, and his wife had never followed the borrowing light to the capital once, The child who gave birth has always stayed in his hometown, everyone ignores this fact, now it seems that this family has always lived a poor life, to be an ordinary farmer, so many years the old monster has never opened a mouth, has not been for the children and grandchildren once, if it weren't for the ability of the kid himself to talk about the Pei family's girl, this old monster will really be as said at the beginning, the war was won, New China was founded, and I went home to farm.

A door-to-door visit, quietly spent in the waves, some accidents and some accidents, and there was no kind of sneering scene of high-ranking families that Cheng Xiaoyu was worried about, these people have been in a high position for a long time, even if they are not satisfied, they will not be happy on the surface, at least a little politeness will still be observed, and will not embarrass Cheng Xiaoyu in person.

However, Xiaoyu can still see that the people of the Pei family are not enthusiastic about themselves, and the resistance in their bones can also be felt, including Pei Pei's mother, who is very formulaic with a smile, like an ordinary junior at home, treating Qi Yu and others is not much different from treating Cheng Xiaoyu, obviously he has not accepted the identity of his daughter's boyfriend.

Only Pei Yuejin's attitude gave Cheng Xiaoyu a certain confidence, and he chatted with Cheng Xiaoyu very deeply, very pertinent and sincere, outspoken and very demanding of his daughter's future husband, it is necessary to have the ability to support himself, to be able to ensure his daughter's excellent living conditions, he does not need to be rich and expensive, but he does not want to struggle from scratch, at this point Pei Yuejin did not deny Cheng Xiaoyu's achievements, thinking that he did okay; At the same time, Pei Yuejin also proposed that as the only daughter of her parents, they hope that they can have a relatively more time for their daughter to be by their side every year.

In any case, Pei Yuejin is the only elder who has come up with real requirements and conditions, and he is still the most important fatherhood, which makes Cheng Xiaoyu feel that the 25,000-mile Long March seems to have taken an imperfect but acceptable beginning.

Left the Pei family in a daze all the way, except for the questioning of a few people, Cheng Xiaoyu found that he didn't notice the furnishings in the house at all, and he was also vague about the appearance and characteristics of many people, and it seemed that he was too nervous.

Out of Pei's house, Qi Yu invited Cheng Xiaoyu to go out and sit together.

"Lao Cheng, Quanjude? This high-ranking family can't eat enough, and the brothers are fighting side by side today, so go out and have a drink. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Pei Pei and respectfully asked for her opinion, he himself was excited, and it was rare to meet someone with the right temper, and it also gave this trip to the capital a channel to relax.

"Brother Haiyang, you arrange a place for us at night, and we didn't even take a shower when we came back."

Pei Pei, the sick princess, Qi Yu and the four of them all know, even if they are not familiar with it, they also know that the Pei family is pitiful, they haven't seen it for a while, I heard that the stubborn disease that has plagued them for more than 20 years has been cured, and the changes in people are also very big, and now we meet again, Qi Yu and the four of them are completely shocked, one person can change so much, the ice girl of the year has now become a peerless beauty, no wonder there are rumors that the children of that family want to marry the Pei family.

"No problem, Club America." Jia Haiyang's words made Pei Pei frown secretly, obviously showing off her very uncomfortable.

Qi Yu can understand Jia Haiyang's approach, and it is estimated that he will not feel comfortable in his heart, his deep-rooted thinking makes it difficult for them to accept an ordinary person to become a person in a complete circle, and making friends with Cheng Xiaoyu is a friendship, and it is a shallow taste, where is it like now, once Cheng Xiaoyu and Pei Pei really become a couple, it is not a matter of the circle, but a real relative, and this relationship is difficult to accept.
