Pei Shujing has not returned to Hangzhou for eighteen years since she married Zhang Qianyi.
The Pei family’s house is still the same one as before.
An alley in the middle of Qinghefang leads to the home she left eighteen years ago.
Pei Shujing carried her luggage and measured the bluestone slabs under her feet step by step.
He is already thirty-eight years old, but he is walking in the rhythm of an eighteen-year-old.
That year and that time, I vaguely remember that I was the happiest girl on this cobblestone road and in this alley.
The Pei family has been practicing medicine for generations. Her father was a military doctor who followed the army in the uprising in Peking. He should still be a professor at a medical university in the capital. Her eldest brother was the DXD in a Western-style hospital at that time. It can be said that the family is full of loyalty and righteousness.
As I got closer to home, I felt timid and my steps gradually became slower.
Looking at the mottled courtyard gate not far away, Pei Shujing remembered the determination in her father's words when she was about to marry Zhang Qianyi.
"Ding-dong~~."
There was a sound of an enamel basin falling to the ground, and all the water that had just been drawn from the well spilled onto the ground.
The woman in front of her looked at Pei Shujing, who was in a daze not far away, with a look of disbelief.
"Xiao Jing?"
Before Pei Shujing could react, her sister-in-law was already shouting in surprise towards the yard.
"Yunsheng, Yunsheng, ~Dad~, Shujing is back~!!"
Pei Shujing was overwhelmed with emotions and stood there in a daze.
A middle-aged man in his forties ran out like the wind, with a few grains of rice at the corners of his mouth, obviously he had just put down his bowl.
This is her elder brother Pei Yunsheng.
"Little sister!"
Pei Shujing wanted to laugh but couldn't because there was a shadow following behind her brother.
She didn't expect that her father was not in the capital, but at home.
The majestic figure in her impression now looked even thinner and more alone.
Pei Yunsheng hugged Pei Shujing as if she were a treasure.
He kept asking about his sister's recent situation.
The Pei family had strict family education. Back then, the father kicked the younger sister out of the house and strictly prohibited any contact between the siblings.
Pei Yunsheng's contact with his sister's family has always been secretive.
Although she has a son and a daughter, Pei Shujing is as nervous as when she announced her marriage.
"dad."
There was a tremor in his voice.
The old man with a sullen face was about to slap, but the word "Dad" still made Pei Zhiyan's face tremble.
But the slap still came.
Pei Shujing was slapped in the face, causing Pei Yunsheng and his lover to exclaim in surprise.
Pei Shujing wanted to turn around and leave in a daze.
Suddenly the old man hugged her, tears streaming down his face.
"You still dare to leave?"
The emotions that had been suppressed for eighteen years burst out from the old man's heart.
After all, she is the daughter that I raised as both my father and my mother.
She was spoiled and carefully brought up, but who would have thought that she would end up becoming someone else's second wife.
She became a widow at a young age, raising her stepson and daughter alone.
The old man beat his chest.
I feel so sad.
Although the father and daughter have been at odds with each other for more than ten years, it is not as good as meeting each other once.
......
"Your complexion is quite good," the old man pondered, withdrawing his fingers from his daughter's wrist, "but you lost some of your energy in the past few years. Although you're making up for it now, you still lack some things."
"You're only in your thirties now, so you probably don't feel anything yet. Who knows in ten years."
"Yunsheng, please prescribe a yin-nourishing medicine for your sister. My medical team will pay for it."
Pei Shujing wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare to go against her father's wishes.
The medical team that Pei's father is in charge of is of a very high level. The Chinese medicines they use are all processed by real masters, and most of the Western medicines they handle are imported.
After understanding his daughter's physical condition, Pei Zhiyan put aside some of his worries. He took another look at his palm that had just slapped his daughter and found it extremely annoying.
He laughed at himself.
"After so many years, I never thought that Xiao Jingyang's child would have a date."
"How about this child from the Zhang family?"
Pei Zhiyan looked at his daughter indifferently.
"I heard that this kid doesn't seem to accept you as his stepmother..."
Pei Yunsheng and his wife were surprised to hear this. It turned out that the old man knew that they were secretly in contact with their sister.
Pei Shujing started by talking about how her stepson secretly replaced her sister and went to the Northeast, and then she went on to say that her stepson is now in Shanghai and has become a full-fledged deputy section-level cadre.
It only took him two years to go from being an educated youth with nothing to being a deputy section chief. He led the educated youth platoon to win the third-class collective merit for consecutive years. Even the knowledgeable old man couldn't help but sigh.
After listening to his daughter's introduction, the child grew up to be capable and filial.
He suddenly glared at his son.
"Listen to other people's children. Their fathers died early, their biological mothers also ran away, and they are so outstanding at the age of twenty. Look at the one you raised. He is always unreliable."
Pei Zhiyan was talking about his own grandson, who was now working in the countryside in the volunteer area. He wrote letters every day saying that he was tired and asked his family for this and that.
Pei Yunsheng smiled and said nothing.
Even though his father scolded his grandson in front of him, if the grandson was really in front of the old man, he would not be willing to say a word.
Finally, the old man asked the most crucial question.
"Which girl is Hongcheng looking for? He's good at finding one, and he's set his sights on Hangcheng again."
Pei Shujing mentioned the names of Chu Miaohong's parents.
The old man had no impression and just nodded.
Pei Shujing could see that her father was somewhat dissatisfied with the Chu family's background, especially Chu Miaohong's father...
