Although Du Lei is forty years old and looks a bit old, he still holds a military rank and is in good health. It wouldn't be difficult for him to find a woman to marry and have children.
Even if Du Lei has high standards, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a young and beautiful woman.
After being angered by Du Lei, Pei's mother didn't want to worry about him anymore.
Turning her head, Pei's mother looked at Jiang Qingyuan and Cheng Xuelin and sighed heavily again.
Jiang Qingyuan didn't say anything more; ever since Pei Zhi left, he's practically become their child.
I usually spend holidays and festivals at their house, and I also come back to visit them during vacations.
As for Cheng Xuelin, Pei's mother initially had a complicated relationship with him, but gradually, she was influenced by Cheng Xuelin.
Although Xiao Cheng's father is still alive, he's practically no different from an orphan.
"What about you two? Are you also planning to stay single forever?"
Jiang Qingyuan, holding his chopsticks, answered without looking up, "Mother, I have a wife, I'm not single."
One sentence silenced Pei's mother instantly; no matter what she said, it would be useless.
Over the years, Jiang Qingyuan has always introduced himself to those around him as someone who is already married.
Then he talked at length about what kind of person his wife was, how beautiful she was, how good she was at being charming, what she liked to eat, and what books she liked to read.
He's usually aloof to everyone, but when he talks about his wife, he becomes incredibly talkative.
People who were unfamiliar with Jiang Qingyuan at first were very curious about what kind of person Jiang Qingyuan's wife was.
Later, when I learned that Jiang Qingyuan's wife had passed away, all I could do was sigh.
Pei's mother asked Cheng Xuelin, "What about you, Xiao Cheng? You're not planning to get married either?"
Cheng Xuelin lowered his head. "Auntie, all I've ever thought about in my life is fulfilling what Zhizhi asked me to do. I don't want to think about anything else."
Mother Pei glanced around and was truly astonished.
Including Pei Wang, there are four single men in the house.
None of the three were her own children, yet they were more filial to her than her biological son, Pei Wang.
Pei's mother genuinely treated them as her own children, and over the years, she had offered them countless words of advice.
As for Du Lei, he's always been in the military and rarely comes back.
"Forget it, it's fine as long as you figure it out. I'm too old to care anymore."
Cheng Xuelin casually mentioned, "Auntie, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow for a health check-up. Don't eat anything in the morning."
Pei's mother is old and doesn't like going to the hospital. "I don't want to go. You drag me to get checkups every year. What's the point of getting them?"
"I've been eating those sea cucumbers and bird's nests that Xiao Jiang bought from you every day, and I'm almost tired of them."
Sister-in-law Pei chimed in, "The blood-tonifying and qi-boosting medicines I prescribed for Mother before are being taken every day."
Cheng Xuelin wouldn't listen. "You told me last time that your heart sometimes hurts? You should get it checked out so we can be at ease."
Pei Wang was unaware of these things. "Mother, your heart hurts? When did this start?"
Brother Pei was also getting anxious, "Yeah, why didn't you tell us?"
Pei's mother waved her hand, "I only feel pain occasionally, it's nothing serious."
Pei Wang insisted this time, "Since you've already made plans with Xiao Chengdu, why don't you go? Or, I can ask my older brother for leave and take you with me."
This time, Pei's mother didn't say anything more. "Alright, alright, why do you need to take leave? I'll go with Xiao Cheng, won't I?"
Pei's mother really didn't want her two sons to take her to the hospital.
My two sons don't understand anything and have little patience.
Pei Wang snorted: "Alright, in Mother's eyes, Xiao Cheng has already surpassed me and my older brother."
Pei's mother didn't spoil Pei Wang either. "Every time Xiao Cheng comes back, he cooks for me and chats with me. He's very patient. Do you think he's like you guys?"
“Every time he comes back, he acts like a big shot, waiting to eat. After he finishes eating, he just throws his hand away, doesn’t care about anything else, and goes to smoke.”
Pei Wang, having been scolded, said no more and lowered his head to eat.
After dinner, Pei Wang led the children to set off fireworks and firecrackers in the yard.
Today is Pei's father's birthday, and Pei Wang bought a lot of things from the city just to make it a lively occasion.
A group of people stood in the courtyard, watching the fireworks rise into the sky and then burst into bloom, and life continued as usual.
