"Dad, he is studying a foreign language, a small language. I want him to enter the diplomatic service after graduation. Do you think so?"
Seeing that Feng Yuanhua was mumbling and unable to answer, Feng Bolin became a little anxious, so he answered for his son.
Fortunately, they are all his own children. Mr. Feng didn't pay too much attention. He just smiled and nodded, "Of course it's not bad to be a diplomat, but this child Yuanhua is more extroverted than introverted. If he wants to work on the diplomatic front, he still needs to be more mature.
Practice more and practice more!”
"After graduation, I will stay in the Foreign Affairs Department of the capital city for a year to adapt to the environment. I will also see if he is the right one. If he is the right one, you can consider going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Feng Bolin quickly agreed with a smile.
Mr. Feng glanced at Feng Yuanhua and sighed secretly. He was actually not very satisfied with this grandson. He felt that Feng Yuanhua was not like the Feng family in any way. He was irritable and always liked to play tricks, but when it came to
It is easy to lose track at critical moments, and it is destined to be difficult to achieve success.
Fortunately, I have Peng Yuanzheng, my eldest grandson.

Dining room.
A special large mahogany dining table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and it is already filled with the fruits of the labor of five women who have been busy all afternoon. Mr. Feng pays attention to the perfection of "nine", so the banquet in this family is basically the same.
It is related to "nine", nine meat dishes, nine vegetarian dishes, nine plates of fruits and dried fruits, nine kinds of pasta and pastries...
The family began to sit down and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
The seats for tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner were arranged by Mr. Feng himself. Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng were sitting in the middle. From the left were Feng Botao, Feng Bolin, Song Yuzhen, Meng Lin and Zhang Lan. But between Feng Botao and Feng Bolin,
But there was an empty seat, and there were still various tableware, wine glasses and chopsticks, reserved for the second son of the Feng family, Peng Yuanzheng's father.
On the right are Peng Yuanzheng, Feng Qianru, Feng Yuanhua and Feng Linlin.
After Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin brought the last dish and sat down, Mr. Feng slowly waved his hand and said with a slight smile, "Today is New Year's Eve. Our family is reunited. According to the practice of previous years, I will say a few words first.
"
"In the past year, a lot of things have happened in our country, and a lot has happened in our little family... What makes me happy is that Meng Lin and Yuan Zheng are back - which means that this year, our family has truly
Reunion!"
"Although the second child is gone, he has left a bloodline to our Feng family. Yuan Zheng is a very up-to-date child, and I am basically satisfied."
"So, I propose two glasses of wine - the first glass of wine is the reunion wine. To celebrate the reunion of our family and celebrate the new year!" Mr. Feng said, slowly picking up the small wine cup in front of him, Feng Botao and others quickly picked it up, Feng Botao and others quickly picked up the wine.
The old man glanced at all the juniors and drank it all in one gulp.
"The second glass of wine is a glass of thanks. Boss, on behalf of our whole family, you would like to offer a glass of wine to Meng Lin. Your second brother left early. Meng Lin worked hard to raise Yuan Zheng as an adult and has contributed to our Feng family. The child Yuan Zheng is what he is today.
Meng Lin has contributed a lot." Mr. Feng glanced at Feng Botao.
Feng Botao stood up with a smile, holding the wine glass and said, "Brothers and sisters, you have heard what dad said. On behalf of my parents and our whole family, I would like to toast you!"
Meng Lin's face turned red, he stood up hurriedly and said sheepishly, "Mom, Dad, brother, this is what I should do, I..."
Song Yuzhen smiled and picked up the wine glass for Meng Lin and put it into her hand, "Meng Lin, you deserve to drink this glass of wine! You deserve it! The whole family will thank you for raising this child Yuan Zheng!"
Meng Lin stood there, feeling mixed with emotion for a moment, and was slightly in a trance. Zhang Lan gently tugged on her skirt, and Meng Lin came back to her senses, slowly picked up the wine glass in her hand with trembling hands, and drank a glass of red wine.
Gone.
…
…
Mr. Feng chuckled and said, "Yuanzheng, Qianru, I originally planned to get your two children engaged after the Spring Festival, but I discussed it with your grandma yesterday and asked for the opinions of Bo Tao, Yu Zhen and Meng Lin.
, we decided to take advantage of tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner, and let’s discuss it among ourselves as a family—today’s New Year’s Eve dinner can be regarded as your engagement wedding.”
"This is considering that you are getting married around the National Day, so there is no need to go through such a formality; and the expedition just had a car accident, and you are still injured, so it is not suitable to hold a ceremony."
Old Feng looked at his boss with a smile. Old Mrs. Feng also smiled and solemnly took out a gold hairpin with an exquisite phoenix carving and a pair of jade bracelets from a bag behind her, handed them to Peng Yuanzheng and said
, "Child, this is the dowry given to grandma by her parents when grandma married your grandpa. It is also an heirloom of grandma's family. Today, grandma passes these things to you as an engagement gift, and you hand them to Qian with your own hands.
Ru.”
"Grandma, for such a precious thing, I..."
"These are all personal belongings, just a little souvenir. You children are your grandma's most precious things. Take them!" Mr. Feng said.
Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment before taking it.
He knew that his grandmother's natal family was a relative of a wealthy family in the former Qing Dynasty. Things that Old Mrs. Feng could call family heirlooms must be very precious and of immeasurable value. The old lady could pass on these things that she had treasured her whole life to him, and
For him to be given to Feng Qianru as an engagement gift is enough to show how much the old man values their two children.
Feng Yuanhua and Feng Linlin stared at the things in Peng Yuanzheng's hands with great envy - for them, the value of these things is not important, what is important is the importance of Mr. and Mrs. Feng - all the family heirlooms were given to Peng Yuanzheng, which means
It’s self-evident what it is.
"Yuanzheng, you hand it over to Qianru in front of the whole family." Mrs. Feng said happily and kept winking at Peng Yuanzheng.
Feng Qianru blushed with embarrassment and lowered her head in embarrassment. She pinched her clothes with both hands, fidgeting.
Peng Yuanzheng let out a long breath, held up the gold hairpin and jade bracelet wrapped in red silk cloth with both hands, brought it to Feng Qianru's eyes, and said softly, "Qianru, this is my grandparents' wishes, and it is also my wish.
Just keep it."
Feng Qianru did not raise her head, her face was red with embarrassment, and she was speechless for a long time.
Peng Yuanzheng held it with both hands. Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, he couldn't help but said softly in embarrassment, "My aunt, please accept it with dignity..."
Although his voice was small, it was still heard by several elders. Song Yuzhen and Meng Lin couldn't help but smile, while Zhang Lan laughed regardless, pointed at Peng Yuanzheng and said, "Yuanzheng, you kid
!You’re not married yet, but you’re so afraid of your wife. If you get married, won’t you directly develop tracheitis?”
Feng Qianru raised her head in shame and glared at Peng Yuanzheng, gritted her teeth, slowly reached out to take the gold hairpin and bracelet, wrapped them up carefully, then stood up and left the restaurant with them and returned to her bedroom.
The old lady passed on such a precious and important commemorative thing to her, which in itself showed her love and affection for her. She was so moved by the old man's kindness that she could hardly control her emotions, and her eyes turned red.
Leave tears behind.
Old Mrs. Feng laughed contentedly, "Expedition, hurry up and call your wife down, our New Year's Eve dinner has just begun..."
When Peng Yuanzheng went to call Feng Qianru, the old lady also looked at Feng Linlin and Feng Yuanhua with a smile and said, "Yuanhua, when you get a wife, grandma will also have gifts for you; Linlin, when you get married in the future, grandma will also accompany you, so you don't want to
Join your eldest brother and sister Qianru."
Mr. Feng was silent. Although the old lady had a smile on her face, there was an undoubted firmness in her voice.
Although they are all her children and grandchildren, in a big family, there must be certain rules. Peng Yuanzheng is not only the eldest grandson, but also the flesh and blood she feels deeply indebted to. In addition, Feng Qianru's special identity change
, various factors contributed to Mrs. Feng’s actions today.
But she didn't want other children in the family to have unnecessary thoughts. The words she just said were both comfort and "warning".
Feng Linlin giggled, "Grandma, I'm not getting married. I want to stay with you all the time."
Feng Yuanhua took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Thank you, grandma."
Old Mrs. Feng looked at Feng Linlin and couldn't help but smile, "Girl, how can any girl not get married? You are also the little princess of our Feng family. In the future, grandma will have to take care of the important matters of marriage!"
…
…
The family finished the New Year's Eve dinner affectionately and then went to watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. This has almost become a required action and necessary subject for most Chinese people on the New Year's Eve night.
Everyone watched with gusto. Even Mr. Feng kept nodding and smiling while watching a certain sketch show. Song Yuzhen, Meng Lin, and Zhang Lan, the three sisters-in-law, even put together a show and kept laughing and commenting on the party program in a low voice.
The pros and cons of.
Peng Yuanzheng felt a little boring. While the elders were watching attentively, he quietly got up and went upstairs, opened the window, and stared at the lights of thousands of houses under the night at the far end. The feeling of happiness lingered in his heart for a long time.
Feng Qianru didn't know when she walked into the room, hugged his waist from behind, then pressed her cheek against his back, and said softly, "Brother Yuanzheng, why don't you watch the party?"
"Haha, it's not interesting at all. They're all clichéd programs that are boring to watch." Peng Yuanzheng said smoothly, but immediately realized that he had let something slip. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Qianru,
I am planning to rush back to Xin'an on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but I am still a little worried about my work in the town. This time, you should stay at home and spend more time with the elderly - Xinyu Group, in fact, I suggest that you still take care of it."
Feng Qianru was startled, then let go of Peng Yuanzheng's waist, walked to him and said softly, "Brother Yuanzheng, do you want me to continue working at Xinyu Company?"
Peng Yuanzheng took a long breath and smiled, "Qianru, on the one hand, I think you have business talent, it would be a pity to waste it; on the other hand, in the long run, whether it is us or our entire family, I
I feel like we need some financial foundation.”
"Grandpa also agrees with you to continue doing it."
Feng Qianru frowned and said, "But, I want to stay by your side."
