Chen Huai walked back to his sister-in-law's house.

Sun Yalin and Song Tong have already gotten up. They were wearing thin wool sweaters and sitting on the sofa in the living room, chewing dried sweet potatoes while watching TV.

When Sun Yalin saw Chen Huai coming in, she looked bleak and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you arresting a hooligan on the street?"

Chen Huai picked up a magazine, smashed it to Sun Yalin, and said, "Do I need to be a hooligan when I walk out like everyone loves?"

"Chen Huai has been so shameless since he was a child." Song Tong laughed.

Chen Huai sat down next to Sun Yalin. When he walked back, his hands and feet were cold and his nose was frozen red. He was on the heater in the room, making people feel comfortable. No wonder Sun Yalin and Song Tong were reluctant to go out in the living room.

Chen Huai grabbed a handful of dried sweet potatoes from Song Tong and chewed them. He told Sun Yalin what he had encountered in the bookstore at the alley just now. Song Tong listened to...

Sun Yalin said disdainfully: "What's the difference between being a hooligan and catching it on the spot? If you do too many things that are harmful to the world, you will eventually suffer some retribution."

Song Tong came over enthusiastically to help out: "The young master in the circle, there are so many people who like Cheng Yi. If you want to marry Cheng Yi home, it's a good thing. Cheng Yi wanted to enroll in Professor Tan's graduate school before, but unfortunately Professor Tan retired early and no longer took the graduate school; but if Professor Tan could say a few good words for you, I think it would still work."

Chen Huai and Song Tong were both born on the farm and struggled together since childhood. After he returned to Beijing, he threw him to the 87 Middle School in the suburbs of Beijing to study, so he had closer contact with his sister-in-law's house.

Among the Song family’s juniors, there were six or seven younger people than Chen Huai, and only Song Tong regarded him as his elder brother.

After Chen Huai took Chen Shan and his wife to France, he was very flirtatious and had not contacted Song Tong and his sister-in-law for seven or eight years. However, the family affection was still there, and there was no stranger to Song Tong when he met again.

However, when Song Tong saw the problem, Sun Yalin was not at the point of being hit. Sun Yalin yawned and suggested to Chen Huai: "What is thankless to be my favorite to please Cheng Yi? As long as Cheng Wenguang is willing to be his son-in-law, it is more effective than anything else. Think about it, Cheng Yi can find out that you have a bad record in the past, and Cheng Wenguang will not know your situation at all? Now the Song family needs you to marry Cheng Wenguang's daughter. Does Cheng Wenguang need his own daughter to marry the Song family's children? Song Hongyi has long denied Cheng Yi and talked to other girls. The Song family has no other suitable candidate yet, so that you can pick up shit and eat it. Don't be bitter, this business doesn't seem like you will suffer any loss..."

Chen Huai smiled and threw the dried sweet potatoes into Sun Yalin's face, saying, "No matter how you scold me, I can't beat you; but Miss Cheng has no grudges and grudges against you. If you say that they are shit, aren't you afraid that I will fiddle with you in front of her?"

"She has to beat me too?" Sun Yalin acted like a female hooligan, looking fearless.

******************

At five o'clock in the afternoon, my sister-in-law rushed back from outside.

She was afraid that Chen Huai would laugh and not pay attention to blind dates. She supervised him to shave his beard, wash his head, and even took out a hair dryer to help him sport his hair.

Chen Huai was originally going to be a pretty boy, but as soon as he dressed up his sister-in-law, he would go straight to the age of thirty. If he hadn't adhered to the principle and refused to change into the navy blue tweed Zhongshan outfit, how many years would he have grown older than his appearance? Song Tong and Sun Yalin and others were heartless and laughed, and they wouldn't say that Chen Huai had already seen Cheng Yi encounter with him in the bookstore at the entrance of the alley.

Song Qiaosheng also lives in the earliest ministry compound of the Organization Department, and is also an old-fashioned courtyard house.

As a senior official at the level of a member of the Party Central Committee, Song Qiaosheng enjoys no worse political and living treatment than the old man. Although it is a snowy winter, the wood and stone planted in the courtyard are quite interesting - there is no special luxury, but you can still see a little low-key luxury from the stone carved windows and some old-fashioned furniture.

Chen Huai followed his sister-in-law and the others to his second uncle Song Qiaosheng's house. As chance, Xie Zhi and Song Hongqi also drove back.

Song Hongqi has another residence in Yanjing and has not lived with his parents in the past two years. After he and Xie Zhi confirmed their marriage date, the Xie family would naturally pay for money to buy a luxury house in Yanjing for them to live in - but Song Hongyi had just started working and was temporarily restricted in Siheyuan.

Listening to the sound of the car, my uncle Tang Jianmin walked into the yard and told Chen Huai that the old man and Cheng Wenguang had already come. They were chatting with his second uncle in the study and wanted Chen Huai. Song Hongqi also went in and chatted with him.

Chen Huai didn't see Cheng Wenguang's wife Liu Xuemei and daughter Cheng Yi, and lowered his head and said to his sister-in-law: "If someone retreated and didn't even want to see him, this board wouldn't hit me, right?"

Song Wenhui pinched him and said, "No matter what, you can show me a good performance; your mother died early, and I don't care who cares about your marriage?"

When Chen Huai heard his aunt's words, he felt a little warm and went into the study with Song Hongqi and his uncle.

At the old man's 80th birthday party, Chen Huai toasted Cheng Wenguang, but he was not impressed at that time. He only remembered that he was wearing a sky blue short-sleeved shirt and sat with Dai He and others. He was a person who spoke very little.

Chen Huai walked into the study and saw the old man sitting on the single sofa next to the wooden door of the terrace. Cheng Wenguang, the second uncle Song Qiaosheng and the eldest uncle Song Jiansan were sitting around the old man talking.

When he and Song Hongqi entered the door with their uncle, they stopped talking and turned their eyes to his face. Chen Huai smiled slightly and called out: "Grandpa, Uncle Cheng, Second Uncle, Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"What do you think we can talk about?" The old man patted the empty seat beside him, asking Chen Huai and Song Hongqi to sit next to him, patted Chen Huai's shoulder, and said to Cheng Wenguang, "Chen Huai has rarely returned to Yanjing in recent years, so you are not familiar with Wenguang. But, don't look at others as handsome as a handsome man. To be honest, this kid is not worry-free than Hongjun, Hongqi, Hongyi and others..."

Cheng Wenguang laughed and said, "In addition to Hongqi being more steady, how many people can be worry-free? For example, when I was young, there were times when I was young. My father had a bad temper and taught me that he was tied to a tree and took the armed force to take it. The more I did this, the more I fought with him. I still remember that Uncle Song, you helped me with love twice. After more experiences, I gradually realized that I really made my father too worried. My father has been gone for ten years, so I always think about my relationship with my father, and I think that now we should be tolerant to young people, as elders. Another thing is that Chen Huai has made some achievements in Donghua in the past two years..."

Cheng Wenguang is like an elder who has opened up, looking at the mistakes his children made tolerantly, and encouraging them to put down their previous burdens and move forward easily.

Maybe it was because he had experienced too many things. Although Chen Huai's face was sincere and moved, his heart was also hard. How could Cheng Wenguang's words easily touch anything?

Sun Yalin's analysis is very accurate. The Song family needs to marry Cheng family to enhance the cohesion within the Song family, but as Cheng Wenguang personally, he also has his requests.

Cheng Wenguang was already an alternate member of the Central Committee at this time. Perhaps there was no big doubt about being elected as a member of the Central Committee when the term changed in three years. However, if he wanted to go further and win a position as a member of the Politburo or even more core, he would need to obtain at least the same support as Song Qiaosheng within the Song Dynasty.

Chen Huai could see that his second uncle Song Qiaosheng was also a pragmatic person. If he competed with Tian Jiageng for the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee Secretary without losing, he could of course ask the support of the Song clan to mainly concentrate him in order to gain a place in the next generation of leadership teams; this is also most in line with the interests of the Song clan as a whole.

The competition for the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee Secretary failed, and the second uncle Song Qiaosheng's time to be released from the local area was delayed for three or four years. The serious consequence of this was to directly weaken his possibility of entering the next generation of leadership teams.

At this time, if the second uncle Song Qiaosheng continues to force the support of the Song clan, all the people will concentrate on him, it will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among others.

As the soul of the Song Dynasty, the old man needs to balance the interests within the faction more, and he cannot be so selfish that his own children must take office.

For the Song Group, the most pragmatic way at present is to give up the competition for the next generation of core leadership teams, and instead strive for an additional quota of members of the Politburo, which can also ensure that the Song Group's political status in the country will not decline in the next twenty years.

Whether in terms of age, qualifications, connections, or political experience, Cheng Wenguang is a suitable candidate - at this time, we need to give each other more trust: although the method of marriage is ancient, it has to be said that it is very effective.

Chen Huai had long thought of these details, and he also had the idea of ​​being at ease when he came, and sat next to him and listened to the teachings of his elders.

Only when the elders' encouraging eyes turned around, Chen Huai made an appropriate sentence or two, expressed his views on current affairs in a hurry, and did not rob the elders of their conversation, but would not make them not pay attention to their existence.

Since Cheng Wenguang does not require morality and a son-in-law who can trust his character, Chen Huai naturally acts gentle, steady and polite. He thought that if the marriage cannot be negotiated, as long as the board does not fall on him, he can also take the opportunity to change the old man and his second uncle's view of him.

Everyone hopes that this marriage will come true. Song Hongqi also warned Song Qiaosheng that he should not steal the scenery of Chen Huai today. He watched Chen Huai's performance at this time, and then thought about the means of Chen Huai's control and dominance in mid-August. It has to be said that it is really difficult for others to steal the scenery of Chen Huai--

Time flies so fast, and before I know it, the sky outside has completely darkened, but Cheng Yi never showed up. Cheng Wenguang was not impatient and said, "The old man often says something, and I agree with it, 'Writing is like the person, and the words are rooted in nature' - Cheng Xing has been decorating a new house recently and wants me to write a pair of words for him. There is still some time before dinner. Should I hand over this task to Chen Huai to complete?"

At this time, Song Hongjun also rushed over. He pressed Chen Huai's shoulder excitedly and signaled him that Cheng Wenguang was very satisfied with him.
Chapter completed!
