During the first two days of the winter vacation, Pei Yixiao couldn't save face, and went to all kinds of parties, not only his best friend circle, but also other circles.He used to love to play, and everyone loved to look for him.But the situation is different now, he feels uncomfortable wherever he goes, and every time he sees a lewd scene, he finds all kinds of excuses to escape.

Seeing that he was still hanging around outside, the Pei family couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but they found that he didn't go home after 10 o'clock every time. Except for the party with Yang Hao and the others, he never came back drunk again. With admiration.

"My Xiao Xiao has really grown up!" Shen Qinglian looked at Pei Yixiao kindly.

Pei Yixiao felt very close to this division-level cadre's mother, who was about the same age as the original company employee's mother, but looked very young because of the proper maintenance, especially when Pei's mother was talking and stroking his head.Pei Yixiao said shyly, "I've grown up already."

Pei Yiming has been secretly observing Pei Yixiao for a long time, and he has come to a conclusion: this kid must have hit his head in a car accident.Other than that, it is impossible to explain Pei Yixiao's sudden change in temperament, being obedient and sensible.

On New Year's Eve, Pei's parents and two brothers went to Mr. Pei's house.The eldest brother, Pei Yishen, works as the deputy mayor of Wenchang City in Jiangdong Province. Every year during the Chinese New Year, he has to go to the countryside to condolences to the masses.

Mr. Pei's residence is incomparable to the government compound where Pei's family lives...

The government compound was only built 30 years ago, for the second generation of government officials of the Republic to live in, while the first generation still lived in the famous ancient buildings.When I entered the old residential area by car, I saw that the guards at the gate were more capable and stronger than those in the government compound.

When Pei Yixiao heard about Mr. Pei's residence, he really endured and endured, and it was very hard to keep calm and not show a shocked expression.On the night of New Year's Eve, he didn't fall asleep all night, thinking about the mysterious place over and over again.

When he got out of the car and walked into Mr. Pei's courtyard with two big dark circles under his eyes, his intuition was like a dream.Even the air smells different here.Here, surrounded by the lake and the sea, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, singing birds and fragrant flowers... Here, it was only open to the public for a period of time 20 years ago, and then it can no longer be entered at will.For most people, this is a place where money is useless, and where power is not enough to enter.

No wonder Pei Yixiao always looks arrogant, that's because only those who have played here since childhood know what power is!Pei Yixiao has this qualification to be proud, and has this qualification to be crazy.

After actually walking in, Pei Yixiao's most intuitive feeling is: simplicity.There really is a sense of simplicity everywhere, the red walls and green tiles have faded, the floor tiles are glowing with blue light, the stairs are old, and the porch is too ordinary.A middle-aged man stood at the door and greeted the family with a smile, "Here you come? The old man is waiting."

Pei Yixiao didn't recognize him, so Pei Yiming said softly beside him, "This is Ding Xudong, one of Grandpa's confidential secretaries, just call him Uncle Ding."

Pei Yixiao groaned, and realized in a blink of an eye: Why did Pei Yiming explain it to him?Can't help but look at the second brother, but Pei Yiming walked over calmly and exchanged greetings with Ding Xudong.

After Ding Xudong picks up people, his work on New Year's Eve is over, and he will go home to celebrate the New Year.Seeing Pei Yixiao, a playboy, he also greeted him perfunctorily, but Pei Yixiao replied seriously, "Uncle Ding, Happy New Year."

Pei Yiming pushed his glasses with his fingers, blocking the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, Happy New Year." Facing the weather-beaten old man, Pei Yixiao was in a trance for a while.This old man, he used to see it in "News Network"...

"Coming?" The old man didn't even lift his eyelids.This little grandson is not a good thing, he doesn't look down on him at all.

Pei Yixiao could see the attitude of the old man, so he automatically and consciously sat in the corner, listening to the family chatting.

Mr. Pei talked about the topic of new energy, "You should also pay more attention to the development and research of new energy, mainly to retain scientists for our use. You see, the country has trained them for so many years, and once they leave the country, they will not come back. How much loss is this? How much do you pay attention to this issue..." He said to Pei Weiguo half-blamingly.

Pei Weiguo also took care of a little bit of science and technology, so he nodded in response to the old man, "Yes, I have given them instructions on this issue a long time ago, and the treatment of scientists must be put on the table. Only by solving their worries can they To be able to devote more heart to work. In fact, what is more important is to cultivate good seedlings, and have enough conditions to attract them to attract them to come back and stay."

"That's the problem," Mr. Pei regretted, "How many promising people just watched them leave. Forget it, let's not talk about it. By the way, what new energy developments are there this year?"

Pei Weiguo is very familiar with this aspect, and mentioned a lot, "...These methods of energy extraction and utilization can greatly improve the quality of life in the future. There is also 'seawater extraction of uranium'..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Pei became excited, "I know this. The United States started research in the 60s, and the progress is not fast. It is an old scientific dream. The key issue is the development of extraction materials and technologies. There is news from the United States. Come on, let’s say that a Chinese scientist designed a new material, which is called a milestone in the research of ‘extracting uranium from sea water’... Hey, what is this material called?”

Pei Weiguo couldn't remember for a while, Pei Yiming happened to go to the kitchen to pour water and didn't hear him, so he yelled "Yiming", wanting him to come out of the kitchen quickly.

Pei Yiming answered from a distance and came over. He hadn't figured out what was going on when he arrived at the room, when he heard his younger brother sitting in the corner whispering: "It's a 'metal organic framework coordination polymer'..."

"What? Hey, yes, that's the name," Mr. Pei nodded quickly after hearing this.Suddenly realized that it was the most useless little grandson of the Pei family who said it, and finally looked at Pei Yixiao squarely, "Huh? Xiao Xiao is doing well recently, it seems that he is following the news? That's right, don't keep following those gangsters." The little bastards hang out together and learn more."

Pei Yiming probably understood what he was talking about, walked over to sit next to Pei Yixiao with a smile, and put his hands on his shoulders, "Grandpa doesn't know yet, Xiao Xiao has learned a lot this semester, and not long ago he saved a female classmate who jumped off a building , Every day when I go home, I see him reading a book."

Pei Weiguo also nodded.Mr. Pei was happy, "Really? Not bad, Xiao Xiao has grown up."

Pei Yixiao was ashamed. He didn't do anything earth-shattering, but he heard words like "grow up" and "sensible" from the Pei family several times in a row. How naive and naive the original Pei Yixiao must have been. immature?In the eyes of the Pei family, his life of being extravagant, self-righteous, and admired by others is just a sign of incompetence...

The New Year's Eve dinner at Pei's family was cooked by Grandma Pei, Shen Qinglian, and Mr. Pei's servants. The servants can cook good Cantonese dishes, which taste very good.The dumplings made by Grandma Pei come in various flavors and are also very delicious.But in general, the New Year's Eve dinner is not particularly rich, there is no extravagance and waste, and the criteria are "enough food" and "nutrition".The wine is also aged yellow rice wine, which is warm and healthy in the mouth.

Under such circumstances, Pei Yiming is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. He can relate a little bit of things from all over the world, which pleases the old man very much, and he has a harmonious meal.

Although Pei Yixiao repeatedly reminded himself that he could no longer think about the past, his heart still filled with yearning for the ordinary parents who worked hard all year round in the small southwestern city.At this time of year, he is the most idle one in the family. He just sits in the living room and watches TV, and from time to time he goes to the kitchen to steal some bacon and sausages to eat. With a hand that smelled of vegetables, he stuffed the sliced ​​cucumber into his mouth.My father cooks more like a chef than my mother. Salted vegetable meat, millet dregs, pearl balls, and sanded meat are all so nostalgic...

He suddenly wanted to go back to that city to have a look.

Pei Yixiao's distraction did not attract too many people's attention, but Pei Yiming still caught the melancholy and sentimentality in his eyes.
