Peng Yuanzheng returned to the car, got into the car, and said softly, "Master, let's change the route, it seems that the car won't be able to get through for a while, let's go around." ”

"Okay, I have to go back a few hours late, maybe three or four o'clock in the morning to arrive in the capital." The driver smiled.

"Well, it's too late, if you don't take a detour, it's not a problem to wait here."

Peng Yuanzheng nodded. It was the eve of the Chinese New Year, and it was night, and he had already seen that he would have to wait for at least a few hours when the local government and the police rushed over and then dealt with the evacuation of the road.

Rather than waiting, it would be better to take a detour back from another county.

The driver started the car, reversed a few meters, and then cut through the gap between the two cars and turned onto another township road. The gift of the 099 chapter Peng expedition around this circle has to run more than 100 kilometers, and the road conditions are not very good, and the driving at night is even slower, and the driver does not dare to drive fast.

In order to avoid the rabbit driver dozing off while driving at night, Peng Yuanzheng chatted with the driver intentionally or unintentionally.

The two of them drove slowly through the darkness of the night, and it was close to the early hours of the morning that they circled back onto the main road.

Shouting, Feng family.

This time for the New Year, all the families of the Feng family gathered at Feng Botao's house for the New Year.

Because they knew that Peng Yuanzheng was coming back in the middle of the night, Feng Botao and his wife and Feng Qianru did not sleep, and waited with Meng Shuang. But after waiting and waiting, Peng Yuanzheng still didn't arrive, and there was no reply to the pager, so he couldn't help but become anxious.

During the Chinese New Year, the situation on the road is unknown, and it is night, so I don't know if there will be any problems.

Meng Shuang was anxious but didn't show it on her face, she was a very measured woman, she didn't want to affect the emotions of the rest of the Feng family because of herself.

"Dad, will the car break down halfway?" Feng Qianru said softly.

"No, the car in the army, the car should be in good condition, your third uncle said that this driver is also very experienced, seven or eight years of driving experience." Feng Botao pondered for a while and smiled at Meng Shuang, "Brother and sister, I estimate that there is a traffic jam on the road, and tomorrow will be the New Year, and the flow of passengers returning to their hometowns must be very big 099 Chapter Peng Yuanzheng's gifts, and traffic jams are a common thing." It's midnight, so let's go sleep for a while, and the expedition will arrive by morning at the latest. If it's not morning, I'll send another car to pick it up. ”

Song Yuzhen also smiled and said, "Yes, Meng Shuang, don't worry, the expedition will be fine."

Let's go, now take a rest, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, we have a busy year. ”

Meng Shuang smiled reluctantly and nodded. She was actually so worried that she couldn't sleep at all, but she knew in her heart that if she didn't sleep, Feng Botao's family would definitely have to accompany her. Because of her mother and son, she didn't want to go to sleep all night.

So Meng Shuang was pushed to rest in a wheelchair, and Song Yuzhen and Feng Qianru's mother and daughter also slept.

Meng Shuang's leg fracture is mostly healed, but it still takes time for the so-called injured muscles and bones to fully recover in 100 days, and he can't stand up and walk for the time being.

Feng Botao smoked a cigarette, muttered for a while, and then went to take a bath and rest.

At four o'clock in the morning, the off-road vehicle finally drove into the territory of the capital. When I entered the capital, there were few vehicles on the road at this time, and the driver sped up. Half an hour later, they arrived at the living area of the ministry-level organ where Feng Botao's house was located. But when he arrived at the door, Peng Yuanzheng suddenly discovered a very critical problem, without the guidance of the Feng family, he would not be able to enter this well-guarded small family courtyard.

He glanced through the window of the car to the dark guardhouse, and although it was early morning, the soldiers on duty on the sentry post opposite the guardhouse were still straight, looking ahead and in good spirits.

Peng Yuanzheng thought about it and smiled at the driver, "Master, I'm sorry, it's so late, it seems that I can't get in." Well, I'll just wait here, it's almost dawn anyway, so you can go back. I'm really bothering you today. ”

In fact, Peng Yuanzheng made a call to the Feng family in the guardhouse, but it was so late, I was afraid that everyone in the Feng family was asleep, and he didn't want to disturb the elders.

The driver thought for a while and said with a smile, "Section Chief Peng, it's so cold, I don't feel at ease if I leave you here alone, so let's go back to the army camp with me for a rest meeting, drink some hot water, and when it's dawn, how about I drive you back?" ”

Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Only by this time did Peng Yuanzheng know that the car and the driver belonged to the Beijing Office of Feng Bolin's group army. The military's Beijing office is somewhat similar to the local government's Beijing office, but it is larger, has an establishment, and also functions as a military station. People from the group army who come to Beijing to do business will generally live in the Beijing Office free of charge. And because the leaders of the group army basically live in the capital, this Beijing office also has some functions to serve the leaders.

This is a small four-story white building, with a sign hanging at the door of the Beijing office of a certain unit, and two soldiers guarding it. The vehicles inside were naturally unimpeded, and Peng Yuanzheng followed the driver to stop the car and enter the small building and go to the driver's dormitory.

The driver is a volunteer soldier, much better than ordinary soldiers, he lives alone in a single room, the room has a TV and telephone, and a separate bathroom.

The driver turned on the TV, made another cup of hot tea for Peng Yuanzheng, and asked with a smile, "Section Chief Peng, do you want to take a hot bath?" ”

Peng Yuanzheng shook his head, "Forget it, you're busy, I'll rest for a while and leave!" ”

At about seven o'clock in the morning, Peng Yuanzheng estimated that the Feng family should get up, so he made a call to the Feng family, and then asked the driver to send him over.

At the door of the living quarter, Feng Qianru's slender and graceful body was wrapped in a thick military coat and wore a light gray peaked cap. The cold wind was howling, and her pretty face was red from the cold, and it looked like she had been waiting for a while. Peng Yuanzheng jumped out of the car, picked up the two big bags he was carrying from the car, and then waved goodbye to the driver, and then greeted Feng Qianru with a smile, "Qianru!" Keeping you waiting! ”

"Brother Expedition!" In fact, Feng Qianru had already seen Peng Yuanzheng, but her expression was a little complicated, and she stood there and hesitated for a moment, slightly distracted.

Peng Yuanzheng didn't notice the strangeness of Feng Qianru's demeanor, and he walked over with two big bags.

The complicated color on Feng Qianru's face was swept away, replaced by a soft smile, and she stretched out her hand, "Brother Yuanzheng, I'll help you get a bag, Yi, such a heavy bag, what did you bring?" ”

Peng Yuanzheng laughed, "No, I'll just carry it myself." I didn't bring anything, just some souvenirs and gadgets from Xin'an. "I came back late from a traffic jam last night."

The two quickly went upstairs and entered Feng Botao's house. Feng Bo...... The eldest wife and Meng Shuang sat in the living room with a smile and waved to Peng Yuanzheng, Peng Yuanzheng put down the bag in his hand and walked over to say hello to his mother and uncle and aunt. After saying a few words and briefly talking about the traffic jam on the road last night, Peng Yuanzheng opened the bag he was carrying and took out the gift he had brought to the Feng family.

Although Xin'an is an old industrial city, it also produces a kind of clay sculpture that is famous in Jiangbei Province. Xin'an clay sculpture originated more than 500 years ago, in the former Qing Dynasty to the peak of development, and in the Republic of China period gradually declined, only in the folk remnants of some old artists still adhere to this craft. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially after the reform and opening up, the municipal party committee and municipal government began to vigorously excavate and support this folk art, and cultivated it as a regional cultural characteristic brand, so from 1980 to the present for more than ten years, Xin'an clay sculpture has developed rapidly and formed industrialization.

This time when he came to the capital for the New Year, Peng Yuanzheng had nothing to bring, so he customized a batch of colored clay sculptures through Huang Dalong in advance through a clay sculpture processing factory owned by Xinjie Enterprise as a New Year's gift to the Feng family.

Peng Yuanzheng gave Feng Lao a nine-dragon gallop, and the nine heavenly dragons soared in the clouds, with a compelling look, and the meaning was extraordinary. And for Mrs. Feng, it is a rich Guanyin, charity and kindness, stepping on auspicious clouds, lifelike. What's more worth mentioning is that the main statue of Guanyin is also accompanied by a golden boy jade with clear eyebrows,

Female, delicate and clear, expressive.

For Feng Botao, there are ship-shaped colored sculptures, there are characters on the boat, there are waves under the boat, and the hull of the ship is unmoving: the third uncle Feng Bolin's is a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, a tiger shaking its head and tail is extremely powerful, raising its head and roaring to deter the elders and juniors of the Feng family, everyone has it, including Feng Bolin's son Feng Yuanhua and daughter Feng Linlin.

The same clay sculpture, but not the same meaning, conforms to everyone's identity.

It can be seen that Peng Yuanzheng took a lot of thought.

Feng Botao looked at the clay sculptures on the coffee table, holding his own ship-shaped colored sculptures, and couldn't help laughing, "Expedition, you kid really have a heart." Your gift, we like it very much, it's good! ”

"Xin'an clay sculpture is good, expedition, you have a heart. When your grandfather and grandmother come over in the afternoon and see the gifts, they will be very happy. Song Yuzhen pinched the "Bamboo Forest" colored sculpture given to her by Peng Yuanzheng on the side, looked at it carefully, and was very happy.

"A little gadget, just if the uncle and aunt don't dislike it." Peng Yuanzheng replied with a smile,

Then he pulled out an even smaller clay sculpture from another bag. This is a fairy standing on the clouds, with picturesque eyebrows and a noble temperament. She looked down, the Lan Huā finger in her hand slightly arced, the folds of the gorgeous dress and even the green silk blown by the wind, and the dusty smile at the corner of her mouth were all portrayed very expressively.

The clay sculpture of Peng Yuanzheng Groove was handed to Feng Qianru, and said with a smile, "Qianru, this is for you, I don't know if you like it or not, I am in a hurry, and I didn't have time to select carefully." Feng Qianru's pretty face flushed slightly. She reached out and took it, her eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, but there was a faint wave in her heart: he sent me such a fairy clay sculpture, could it be a ..............., as soon as she thought of this, she sighed in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded, "Thank you, Brother Yuanzheng, I like it very much." ”

I can't help but say that this little thing sent by Peng Yuanzheng is very in line with Feng Qianru's "taste"

Of course, in the eyes of the elders of the Feng family, this has become another "taste"

Feng Botao looked at Song Yuzhen, and the husband and wife exchanged a meaningful smile.

They intended to match Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru, and the better the relationship between the two, the happier they were. Although Feng Qianru is not their biological flesh and blood, she has been raised since she was a child and has become a pearl in her hand, if she can marry her nephew and still stay by her side to Chenghuan, the husband and wife are extremely pleased. And this is exactly what Old Man Feng is thinking.

As the eldest grandson of the Feng family, Peng Yuanzheng's marriage is actually inautonomous. Peng Yuanzheng himself has not realized this for the time being, because he has not yet considered his marriage problem.

What kind of woman Peng Yuanzheng marries to enter the door must be inspected by the Feng family and reviewed by Feng Lao's nod, otherwise the Feng family will never accept it. In terms of the Feng family's style, the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson of the Feng family must be more suitable and outstanding in all aspects. The so-called suitability is the background, at least not too bad. The so-called outstanding is to have good appearance and be one in a hundred.

And Feng Qianru is the child that Feng Lao watched grow up since childhood, the Feng family's family education is very strict, and after training in all aspects, Feng Qianru is also an outstanding leader in the third generation of wealthy families, with good looks. If there was no Peng Yuanzheng, Feng Qianru would basically marry into other wealthy families in the future, as a political marriage: and after Peng Yuanzheng recognized his relatives, Feng Lao made a decision to let Feng Qianru and Peng Yuanzheng go together.

This is also a little selfish. The so-called "fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders", and the children raised by themselves know the roots and rest assured. That's probably the kind of mentality.

In fact, Peng Yuanzheng didn't know that Feng Qianru was Feng Botao's adopted daughter, and he didn't know that his marriage had been designated by Old Man Feng for marriage, and he couldn't control it himself. Unlike Peng Yuanzheng, Feng Qianru had already counted it in her heart, but she was very uncomfortable in her heart. She felt that she was an out-and-out outsider in the Feng family, and after so many years, she still hadn't really been accepted by the Feng family.

This feeling is subtle and has nothing to do with Peng Yuanzheng. For Peng Yuanzheng, of course, Feng Qianru is not excluded, as time goes by, Peng Yuanzheng's excellence becomes more and more obvious, because she knows that she and Peng Yuanzheng are not real cousins, and it is impossible for her to have no ripples and strangeness in her heart: but she can't accept it, she was sent out as goods by her relatives who have always loved and cared for her.

Marrying Peng Yuanzheng, what is the difference between himself and the child daughter-in-law in ancient times?

Whether it is Mr. and Mrs. Feng or Mr. and Mrs. Feng Botao, they all ignore Feng Qianru's sensitivity, vulnerability and self-esteem. In their opinion, the granddaughter-in-law and the granddaughter are no different, the same treatment and love, should they be called grandpa or grandpa, why not?

Meng Shuang knew a little bit. These days, Song Yuzhen has accompanied her, and Feng Qianru often goes to the nursing home to see her in addition to her studies. For Feng Qianru, Meng Shuang was so satisfied that she couldn't be more satisfied, but she always felt that Feng Qianru was a child with a lot of thoughts, would she agree and accept the Feng family's arrangement?

Meng Shuang was a little unsure. !!
