In fact, Peng Yuanzheng actually had some premonitions in his heart: even if he chose to stay in Beijing, his grandfather Feng Lao would eventually drive him out of Beijing. There are only a few people in the third generation of the Feng family, Feng Linlin is a girl and does not consider it, Feng Yuanhua is a little impetuous and shallow, with a flamboyant personality, not very suitable for politics, only Peng Yuanzheng, the eldest grandson, no matter what the conditions are, all meet the conditions for the successor in Feng Lao's mind.

In other words, whether Peng Yuanzheng is willing or not, he will be pushed onto the political stage by Feng Lao, and after going through wind and rain and tempering, he will grow from a seedling to a towering tree, and he will support the door of the Feng family in the future.

The elderly don't have much of a choice. The third generation of the Feng family, Ding is too thin, and there are only two grandsons, Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Yuanhua. Compared with Feng Yuanhua and Peng Yuanzheng, it is naturally the latter that is worth cultivating.

Peng Yuanzheng also had no choice. Anyway, the old man has already made up his mind, even if Peng Yuanzheng is a piece of stubborn iron, he will temper it into steel.

Feng Lao went to participate in foreign affairs activities, and the next family conversation between Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru was handed over to Mrs. Feng.

At lunchtime, Mrs. Feng sat there very seriously and asked Peng Yuanzheng's opinion - saying that she was asking Peng Yuanzheng's opinion, in fact, she was "conveying" to him the subjective wishes of the old lady herself: the old lady hoped that the two would get married as soon as possible, so that she could hold her great-grandson.

The old lady proposed three time periods, and let Peng Yuanzheng choose for himself - the first was March. In other words, after the Spring Festival, as long as Peng Yuanzheng did not object, the family began to arrange the marriage for the two. Of course, the wedding must be held in the capital, and with the identity of Feng Lao, the wedding of the grandson cannot be held in a big way, and it will only be made public within a certain range.

The second is around May Day, and at the latest it is National Day.

Peng Yuanzheng could only smile bitterly.

March is obviously too rushed, now it's late January, and after the Spring Festival, it's February, and it's too late; And in May, Peng Yuanzheng also felt too anxious. He estimated that the first half of the Spring Festival was the heaviest and most intense stage of his work, and at this time, he was a little stretched in energy to prepare for his personal wedding.

As for the National Day - Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and decided to choose the time period of the National Day.

Actually, from his heart. There is no problem with his relationship with Feng Qianru, it is not a problem to get married one day earlier or one day later, considering that next year's work will be very intense, he originally planned to get married next year. But the current situation is that the elders in the family can't wait, and they have to urge marriage, there is no way. I had to obey my fate.

But Peng Yuanzheng immediately realized an important issue -- he was born in March 1970 and had just turned 23 years old after the Spring Festival, far from reaching the threshold of 25 years old for late marriage and late childbearing.

In the 90s, the legal age of marriage was not less than 22 years old for men and 20 years old for women. However, the legal age is the legal age, and in reality, people with public office are generally encouraged to marry later and have children later, and the marriage age is customary to be 25 years old. In many places. If you are under the age of 25, the union will not give you a marriage introduction letter. Without a letter of introduction from the unit, you cannot go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register and get a marriage certificate.

Come to think of it. Peng Yuanzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Grandma, I'm not 25 years old yet, and now getting married doesn't meet the regulations on late marriage and late childbearing. ”

"Who made this bastard rule? How did grandma not know? The Marriage Law clearly stipulates that 22 years old is fine! Mrs. Feng seemed to be prepared, and she touched a copy of the marriage law from under the coffee table, and turned to the page to draw fingers. Look, grandma specially checked the marriage law for the two of you - you will soon be 23 years old, and Qianru will be 22 years old, and now marriage should be a late marriage, why wait until you are 25 years old? ”…,

"Grandma. We have a rule that generally people in public office are married at the age of 25. Peng Yuanzheng smiled helplessly.

Old Madam Feng's eyes widened: "It's illegal for you to stipulate like this there!" This is a violation of human rights! No, this rule has to be changed immediately! ”

"We don't care about others, anyway, we are old enough to get married, and those who should get married will get married-what are you afraid of? Who dares to talk nonsense, grandma to reason with him? As for your unit, let your uncle help me make a phone call! ”

Old Lady Feng waved her hand grinningly, and her attitude was very resolute.

Looking at the old man so firm, what else could Peng Yuanzheng say. He knew that the matter of marriage would definitely not be able to "run", and since this was the case, there was no need to insist on it and make the old man unhappy. And the Feng family's heirs are thin, which is also an important factor for the old man to be keen on the marriage of Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru.

Only when people are prosperous can the family prosper. No matter how powerful the Feng family is, if there is no one, it is still an empty shelf.

"Okay, I'll listen to it all, but March is too urgent, and May is the busiest time for work in my town, can it be a National Day?" Peng Yuanzheng smiled.

Old Madam Feng frowned and thought about it, "National Day is National Day, I'll let people check it out for a good day." In addition, I discussed with your grandfather that you and Qianru will be engaged on the third day of the Lunar New Year. The engagement ceremony will not be public, our own house will be lively, and when we get married, grandma will help you handle it! ”

Peng Yuanzheng let out a sigh of relief and nodded.

The wedding date was confirmed, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. It's like getting on the bus without a ticket, worrying about being caught by the flight attendant at any time, and buying a ticket to get married - from an underground worker to a legal passenger. Thinking that he had established a relationship with Feng Qianru and could reasonably and legally reconcile me and me, his heart was hot.

Mrs. Feng didn't know about Peng Yuanzheng's "flowers" in her heart, she was still talking to herself, talking about some "ideas" and "plans" about how she arranged the marriage and wedding between the two, when she suddenly found that Peng Yuanzheng was a little absent-minded, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Stinky boy, grandma is talking to you, but you are wandering?" ”

Peng Yuanzheng was embarrassed: "Grandma, no, I didn't get distracted, I listened carefully." Please give instructions to grandma, grandson, and I will implement the important spirit of grandma's speech today! ”

"Hippie smiley, oily and smooth!" Old Madam Feng scolded with a smile, but a hint of pampering flashed in her eyes.

Maybe even Mrs. Feng herself didn't realize that she turned all kinds of thoughts and sorrows for her lost second son into a kind of pampering and focused on Peng Yuanzheng, the grandson who was looking for him. To a certain extent, Peng Yuanzheng's status in the old lady's mind far exceeds that of Feng Yuanhua and other juniors.

This is not the old man's favoritism, but the accumulation of decades of feelings, once there is a breakthrough in catharsis, it is difficult to control. In her eyes, Peng Yuanzheng's mother and son had a bad fate, and now that they have come to the bitter end, they naturally have to compensate generously.

It was with this mentality that she glanced at Meng Lin and thought that Meng Lin was meritorious and kind to the Feng family. For more than ten years, he raised his son alone, never married, and sacrificed his personal happiness in exchange for the healthy growth of his son, which is worthy of respect.

Old Lady Feng refused to let Peng Yuanzheng go back, and insisted that he stay in the No. 3 courtyard inside the Dahongmen for the night. Mrs. Feng called back and told Feng Botao and Meng Lin that she had discussed with the old man and also asked Peng Yuanzheng's opinion to set the wedding date around the National Day in 1993, and the specific time was to be determined.

Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin were also very happy. When Feng Qianru got the news, she was also a little happy in her heart, but she was embarrassed on her face.

After dinner, Peng Yuanzheng accompanied Feng Lao to walk along the artificial lake in the big red gate, and many staff and security personnel behind Feng Lao felt a little surprised, this tall, handsome young man, who was sacred, and had such a close attitude with the old man! Moreover, the old man still wants to keep him overnight, which seems to be a very unusual relationship! …,

But doubts are doubts, curiosity is curiosity, but no one dares to inquire about anything, not even to each other, and they dare not mention this topic. They must be diligent in their legs, sharp in their ears, and strict in their mouths; this is the basic discipline and minimum requirement for them to work beside the leaders of the Central Committee.

Walking along the lake, Feng Lao didn't talk about work anymore, but casually asked him about some of his life since he was a child. Basically, he asked wherever he thought, and Peng Yuanzheng naturally answered respectfully and truthfully.

In fact, Feng Lao had already carefully understood the past of Peng Yuanzheng's mother and son. And Peng Yuanzheng was excellent in character and learning from elementary school to university, and finally was admitted to Jinghua University with the highest score in Xin'an City's liberal arts, which has always been the most satisfying place for Feng Lao.

Born in a single-parent family, and the economic conditions are so poor - Peng Yuanzheng can work hard and grow up healthily under this background, for Feng Lao, Meng Lin's upbringing should be the first credit.

Feng Lao sighed, slowly stopped, looked back at Peng Yuanzheng and said with emotion, "Child, don't forget your mother in the future!" Without your mother's years of dedication, you wouldn't be where you are today! Your mother is the hero of our Feng family! ”

Peng Yuanzheng's eyes were red, and the scenes of mother and son relying on each other in the past were instantly reversed, and they became clear in the memory of his mind, and he nodded silently.

Mother's kindness is like the sea, and he can't repay it in his life. No words, just actions.

"Let's go, in the future, I will honor your mother with Qianru, your father and your uncle are just you, a man, and we will rely on you to support the elderly in the future, and our Feng family will also rely on you to support the portal......" Feng Lao walked forward slowly, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Feng family's heirs are thin, and it has always been Feng Lao's heart disease and heartache.

Even though he is in a high position and holds the authority of a great power, he is powerless in this kind of inheritance of heirs. Of his three sons, one of whom was separated during the war years, died young; As for the remaining two, the eldest Feng Botao has never given birth, while the third Feng Bolin has a son and a daughter.
