Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chapter 48 The Women of the He Family

After briefly getting to know these people, Feng Sizhe wondered whether he should sit down and listen to everyone talking.

Of course he has this privilege in the Zhao family. Under Zhao Mingyuan's great care, Feng Sizhe can sit down and chat with the guests at any time. But in the He family, Feng Sizhe would not be so reckless. He knows that there are several males in the third generation of the He family, but none of them are here. Would he feel uncomfortable appearing here?

When Feng Sizhe was in a dilemma, He Shasha appeared in the hall. When she saw Feng Sizhe coming, she immediately blushed and shouted, "Feng Sizhe, why did you come just now? You didn't even come to find me. Come with me to the backyard to meet my grandma, mom, aunts, and my brothers and sisters. Really, what can I talk about with these old antiques?"

He Shasha's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from everyone, and at the same time it also helped Feng Sizhe out of the predicament. He could feel that He Shasha was deliberately trying to save the situation, and he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of this girl's intelligence.

In the He family, He Shasha is also an alternative performance. Maybe it is because she is too careful and patient. In short, she is very much liked by He Chuanjiong. Even when He Chuanjiong is in a bad mood, only He Shasha can lead him to change his mood. Over time, everyone has recognized this fact. He Shasha rarely goes home to live with her mother who works in Beijing. Instead, she comes to her grandfather after school to serve him carefully. For her efforts, He Lao also gave corresponding rewards, that is, as long as the matter is not big, he will try his best to indulge He Shasha, just as a reward.

As a result, sometimes He Shasha would speak without restraint, of course, this also depends on the time, in fact, she knows the importance of things. Like now, when she saw Feng Sizhe standing there awkwardly, she hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over, joking about her own man. What are you waiting for if you don't protect him? In fact, she noticed Zhao Mingyuan's car as soon as it entered the gate of the villa, which is why she saved the situation so coincidentally.

Feng Sizhe turned around and smiled apologetically to everyone. He heard his grandfather say, "Okay, you young man, just go talk to the young people. You don't have to keep company with us old antiques, haha." Zhao Mingyuan was obviously in a good mood as well. He also quoted what He Shasha had said just now.

After getting the answer from his grandfather, Feng Sizhe followed He Shasha to the backyard of the villa. As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard a burst of singing and laughing. It seemed that all the women of the He family were here. Relatively speaking, women were not as serious as men when they were together. Everyone was laughing and talking about happy topics related to the New Year.

Of course, the woman with the highest status and the oldest age in the He family is He Chuanjiong's lover, He Shasha's grandmother, Yu Lao. She was born in 1930, years younger than He Chuanjiong. She met He Lao as a student at Kyoto University. One is a beautiful girl who yearns for heroes, and the other is a hero who likes lively and active girls. The two of them came together and got married. Because He Lao and Yu Lao are a bit avant-garde in free love, their marriage is respected by everyone. Now the -year-old Yu Lao has retired from the position of director of the General Office of the People's Bank of China, and all her energy is focused on this He family.

This year is her first year of retirement. It is a rare opportunity for her to completely relax and have a good new year. She is very happy. After seeing that the descendants of the He family have grown up and are living well, she is in a particularly good mood.

Mr. He Chuanye's wife died of illness in her early years. As a result, Old Yu became the only female in the first generation of the He family. Naturally, her status also rose, and her words carried a lot of weight among women.

Now, a group of women from the second generation of the He family were chatting and laughing to make Old Yu happy, and Old Yu was also cooperating very well by keeping a smile on her face. When talking about something happy, she would laugh out loud.

In this atmosphere, Feng Sizhe accompanied He Shasha into the house. As soon as they saw He Shasha leading a young man in, everyone looked here. Of course, everyone knew what was going on. They also knew that since this man came in with He Shasha, they didn't need to guess his identity.

In his previous life, Feng Sizhe had seen all kinds of women, including noble, beautiful, aloof, charming, cold, powerful, pure and even those in the secular world. But this was the first time he had seen a room full of middle-aged and elderly women like today, and he actually didn't know how to start the conversation.

Some things have to be experienced, and Feng Sizhe bowed to Old Yu and said, "Happy New Year, Grandma Yu. I wish you good health, all your wishes come true, everything goes well, and you have a long life."

After saying that, Feng Sizhe rushed to the surrounding He Shasha's mother and aunts and bowed, "Happy New Year, aunts! I wish you all a successful career, younger and younger, and eternal youth. You will be twenty this year and eighteen next year."

"Haha, hahaha." As soon as Feng Sizhe finished speaking, everyone in the room laughed. Even He Shasha covered her mouth and laughed. They thought that Feng Sizhe was quite humorous. He also knew that women actually care about their appearance. His words, "Twenty this year, eighteen next year", really touched everyone's heart.

Old Yu was very happy. She had heard from her husband about Feng Sizhe a long time ago, but he had gone to a southern city for research some time ago and had not been in Beijing since. This time during the Chinese New Year, she finally had the opportunity to see the legendary Feng Sizhe. When she looked up, she saw that the young man was tall and handsome, spoke appropriately and was polite. She couldn't help feeling happy.

Feng Sizhe looked at the women in the room, all of whom had happy smiles on their faces, and he felt relieved. This is how you deal with women. You have to find a way to get along with them. It's completely different from dealing with those middle-aged men. You have to be cautious in everything you say, which is really tiring.

Feng Sizhe's opening remarks were good, which was equivalent to getting the votes of approval from these middle-aged and elderly women, especially the way He Shasha's mother Li Qiujuan looked at him, which made people feel that the mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more.

She had heard her father and sister-in-law He Lizhen mention Feng Sizhe before. She had also carefully read the three articles written by him and felt that he was indeed a unique young man. In addition, he had the halo of double master's degrees from the University of Cambridge in the UK. It can be said that even before she met him, she had already formed an excellent impression of Feng Sizhe.

Today, she finally saw him in person. He was young, handsome, modest and polite, which made Li Qiujuan like him very much. Especially when she saw the way her daughter looked at Feng Sizhe, she was more certain that this was her daughter's choice.

"Well, Sizhe, right? I'm Sasha's mother. From now on, I'll be more generous and call you Xiaozhe. Do you mind?" Li Qiujuan looked at Feng Sizhe lovingly and asked with a smile.

As soon as he entered the room, Feng Sizhe felt that Li Qiujuan looked very similar to He Shasha. Now, when he heard her admit it, he knew that this was his future mother-in-law. Seeing her loving eyes towards him, Feng Sizhe said with a little excitement, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Of course, there is no problem with calling me that. The elders in my family also call me that."

Before meeting Li Qiujuan, Feng Sizhe was still a little worried. He knew that his future mother-in-law was the director of the Second Discipline Inspection Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. As someone who has worked in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years, her eyes are very sharp, and she is even intimidating without anger. He had imagined all kinds of things before coming here, but when he saw Li Qiujuan today, he realized that people in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also have their own lives. They can't bring the eyes and attitudes at work to their lives. If that were the case, wouldn't it be too tiring?

Hearing Feng Sizhe comparing herself to an elder in his family, Li Qiujuan was very happy and nodded. "Well, come, Xiaozhe, let me introduce you to your elders in this room. This is Sasha's grandmother, Old Yu. This is Sasha's aunt He Lizhen, whom you have met. She works in the Ministry of Finance. This is He Shengzhang's wife, your Aunt Yang. She is our role model for taking care of her husband and children at home. This is your aunt He Shengkuang's wife, Aunt Wen Fengqin, who now works in the Ministry of Culture. We are all a family from now on. If you have time, visit each other more often. Everyone will help you to the best of their ability."

Li Qiujuan was a good person. She not only introduced several people to Feng Sizhe, but also indirectly told him their positions. Just like He Shengzhang's wife, Aunt Yang, who was idle at home because she had no position, she also used the example of a husband and child. This was enough to prove that Li Qiujuan took all aspects into consideration when speaking and doing things. As expected of someone who came from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, every word she said made others find no handle.

Feng Sizhe greeted everyone in the order that Li Qiujuan introduced them. The first three were fine, especially Old Yu, who kept nodding when he looked at Feng Sizhe. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this grandson-in-law. Until the last one, when Aunt Wen, who worked in the Ministry of Culture, was introduced, she also looked Feng Sizhe up and down, and then said, "Wow, I can't believe that you can publish such articles that shocked the top leaders at such a young age. You didn't plagiarize those articles, did you?"
