Chapter 43: New Year's (Part 1) (Additional Update)
As a former soldier, today is also a memorable day. For this reason, I will make a small explosion today and add three more chapters for all the passionate soldiers.
——————————————————
The Spring Festival is approaching, and at this time when the whole nation attaches great importance to the arrival of the Spring Festival, everyone seems to be busy. Including Zhao's family compound, a large number of New Year's goods were purchased to prepare for a happy and auspicious Spring Festival.
In the Zhao family, except for Feng Si Zhe's mother who was unable to return from England, all of his uncles and aunts, including Da Shu, Xiao Shu, Er Yi, and Xiao Yi, have returned with their families.
Feng Zhe knew that his mother was busy making a fortune in the UK, so he had no opinion about her not coming back. On the contrary, it was his grandmother He Jia Yu who kept saying that her eldest daughter still held a grudge against the Zhao family, otherwise why wouldn't she come back even during Chinese New Year? Feng Zhe comforted his grandmother by saying that wasn't he enough for her here? Speaking of which, his mother spending Chinese New Year alone in the UK was also quite pitiful, or else he would go to the UK to accompany his mother.
Feng Siche said this, and He Jia Yu immediately stopped mentioning the topic. She was afraid that her clever grandson would leave her. In fact, Feng Siche was just scaring his grandmother. As a party member and state official, it's not easy for him to go abroad.
The return of the family members allowed Feng Si Zhe to see the Zhao family again, whom he had been very familiar with. However, it was a pity that at this time, he still had to pretend that it was his first meeting with everyone, and that feeling was indeed a bit strange.
Feng Sichao's older brother Feng Wanyong, the original commander of the 17th Division of the Northeast Military Region, is a senior official at the provincial level. This time, because he and General Zhao jointly published an article on modernized warfare being the future trend of national military development, it has had a very good impact, and it's estimated that this time around, promotion to the next step shouldn't be a big problem.
Big Aunt Liu Hong, a Northeasterner, her family has some influence in the Northeast Military Region. She has three daughters. The eldest daughter is of the same age as Feng Sicheng and is now working as a deputy section chief at the Northeast Inspection Institute. The second daughter, Zhao Mei, was born in 1970 and is currently studying at Northeast Normal University. The third daughter, Zhao Yan, was born in 1973 and is still a high school student.
My second aunt, Fang Qiuna, is the deputy director of the Education Department's Guidance Office, with a rank equivalent to that of a deputy department head. The Fang family can be considered a relatively influential family in the capital. My second uncle has two daughters: the elder one is Zhao Ying, born in 1975, and the younger one is Zhao Min, born in 1977; both sisters are studying at the Second Middle School of the Capital.
My second uncle, Chen Jiahua, is a typical scholar with no backing. He served as the deputy director of the National Seismological Bureau's forecasting department, at the deputy department level. Similarly, he also has two daughters, Chen Chunlin and Chen Chunxian, one born in 1978 who attends middle school in Hangzhou, and the other born in 1980 who attends elementary school in Hangzhou.
Xiao Yi Zhao Lijuan's husband died unexpectedly soon after their marriage, and they had no children.
These are Feng Zhe's family members. Calculating, Feng Zhe is not only the eldest of the third generation of the Zhao family but also the only male heir, and he has seven sisters with blood ties. At that time, when there was no planned birth control, having these seven sisters did not seem too many.
Of course, even if the family planning management is very strict, for Zhao Zhong who wants a grandson in the future, he won't care about these things. It's just that fate has it that except for Feng Si Zhe, there isn't another male heir. Some things are just meant to be and can't be helped.
It's been years, and Feng Sizi's sisters have all returned to Zhaojia Siheyuan from all corners of the country.
The more people, the more lively the atmosphere, but no matter how lively it is, these girls from the Zhao family dare not make a loud noise in front of General Zhao's east wing. This is because General Zhao is a typical person with a heavy male and light female mentality. From an early age, he had this prejudice, and over time, his granddaughters and great-granddaughters all knew that General Zhao would not like them, so the relationship between them gradually became more and more distant. As time went on, everyone was even afraid to speak when they saw General Zhao.
This is also why although they usually study in the capital, Zhao's quadrangle courtyard lacks some youthful vitality.
No matter if everyone has arrived, Feng Siche is still the most popular person in the Zhao family. The reason is not only because he can get the love of his grandparents, but also because he can get along well with his uncles and aunts, and at the same time, he can play the role of a big brother to these younger sisters. He took out money and asked Security Guard Chen Hu to buy a lot of candied hawthorns on the street, and this single action immediately won the admiration and support of his younger sisters.
It can be said that Feng Sicheng is the third generation of the Zhao family, but when it comes to eating, it's obviously different. On General Zhao's table, only Eldest Uncle Zhao Wanyong, Second Uncle Zhao Wangang, Second Auntie's husband Chen Jiahua and Feng Sicheng can sit here with him.
Of course, this also has to do with Zhao's idea of favoring boys over girls. At the same time, it is also because Feng Sizi has indeed grown up in the eyes of his uncle and the Zhao family members. Now, at the age of 23, he can be considered a celebrity in the capital. More importantly, Feng Sizi's reputation is not just known to others through the Zhao family, but rather due to his own impressive and intimidating presence.
Feng Siche has published a total of three articles, all of which have become reality after some time. This extraordinary insight cannot help but make people pay attention to him. And if we are to talk about Feng Siche's current achievements, the one who is most delighted is General Zhao Mingyuan.
Originally thought Zhao's family was going to decline from this, but unexpectedly, Feng Sicheng, who returned from abroad, gave him new hope.
The Zhao family still has hope. Feng Sicheng is young and can have many children with the Zhao bloodline. His seven sisters also carry the Zhao blood, and if they give birth to boys in the future, they will also be considered part of the Zhao family and can help carry on the family legacy.
