In the living room, Guoguo was having a lot of fun.

Although it was the first time she met Peck, she was not shy at all. She let Peck admire the braids she made for the doll, and then she took out the lantern she had made to show off.

After learning that Peck didn't know how to make lanterns, he immediately took Peck to the second floor to teach him how to make lanterns.

"Mother?"

Pei Ziheng stood at the kitchen door and was very surprised to see that the person cooking was Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu smiled at her son, "Your uncle is back and is playing with Guoguo upstairs. You should go too. Remember to call him."

Pei Ziheng was very surprised to hear that Pei Ke had returned, and immediately went to the second floor.

Coming outside the study, Pei Ziheng paused slightly when he saw the familiar middle-aged man in the room.

To be honest, Peck was very kind to him in his previous life. He brought him to Gangcheng, provided him with food, shelter and education, and left all his fortune to him after his death.

If Pei Ke doesn't come back, he is also prepared to find a way to get Pei Ke back.

In his previous life, Pei Ke died of liver cancer, but it was too late when the disease was discovered. If it had been discovered and treated earlier, there would have been a great chance of recovery.

"elder brother!"

It was as if Guoguo had telepathy. Even though her back was facing the door, she still felt Pei Ziheng's presence, and she stood up and ran towards him happily.

Pei Ziheng bent down and took his sister into his arms, then walked into the study, "Uncle."

Pei Ke looked him up and down, smiling broadly, "Are you Ziheng?"

"Um."

"You look really good, a lot like your mother."

Pei Ke's original intention was to say that Pei Ziheng was as beautiful as Shen Mingzhu.

Pei Ziheng seemed to be in a good mood. He liked people saying that he looked like Shen Mingzhu.

"I heard from your mother that you have good grades. Not only did you get first place in the exams every year, but you also skipped a grade and went to junior high school."

"Um."

"It's really a blessing to have such a promising child like you. If you were in ancient times, you would have been able to take the imperial examination. For several generations in our Pei family, no one can study."

Shen Mingzhu brought a fruit plate and snacks to the three of them. She felt a little dull when she saw Pei Ziheng lowering his head and keeping silent after hearing what Pei Ke said.

"Uncle, it's not too soon for lunch. Eat some cakes to fill your stomach."

"Well, you don't have to cook too much, just two simple home-cooked dishes."

"Not much, just the usual dishes. I'll come up and call you when they're ready."

At half past twelve, four dishes and a soup were finally served.

Pei Ke picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, and the moment he put it in his mouth, his nostalgia and satisfaction were beyond words, and even his eyes were slightly moist.

"I can't remember how many years it has been since I last had this dish. When I was a kid, my family was poor and we had to wait until Chinese New Year to eat this dish. We couldn't even have much, just two pieces per person. I couldn't bear to eat any of it, so I left one piece wrapped in oil paper and put it in my pocket for the next meal."

Seeing that Pei Ke was very emotional, Shen Mingzhu used the serving chopsticks to help him pick up two more pieces and put them in his bowl.

"Now that living conditions are better, we can eat whatever we want."

Peck nodded.

"Is meat easy to buy now? Do you still need tickets?"

"You still need tickets for state-owned enterprises, but you don't need tickets for private enterprises anymore. You can buy anything with money. The policy is more open now, encouraging self-employment, unlike before when business was strictly controlled."

"That's good. That's good."

Pei Wenping came over before we finished our meal.

Pei Wenping was very excited when she saw Pei Ke.

She was only ten years old when Peck left, and more than twenty years have passed in a flash.

Shen Mingzhu had something to do at the factory, so she went to work after dinner. Pei Wenping stayed at home and chatted with Pei Ke.

When we arrived at the factory, Pei Yang had just returned.

"You went out this morning?"

Shen Mingzhu responded and looked at him, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Pei Yang said, "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, but I have a dinner party tonight. I will take Chen Cheng and Guan Qiang to meet Boss Wang and his friends."

Pei Yang was stunned for a moment, apparently not understanding who the uncle Shen Mingzhu was referring to.

After all, the Chen family and the Shen family also have uncles.

"My uncle?"

"Well, my uncle and I had lunch at home."

Pei Yang hadn't seen Pei Ke for several years, so he immediately got in his car and went home.

After returning to the office, Shen Mingzhu called to book a banquet for tomorrow night and planned to invite the Chen family as well.

One is to welcome Pei Ke, and the other is to recognize his relatives.

Pei Keyi had been in Hong Kong for more than 20 years and did not even come back for Pei Wenping's wedding.

At night, Ginkgo Building.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

There were five people from Shen Mingzhu's family and six from the Chen family, a total of eleven people, just enough to fill a large round table.

During the dinner, Pei Ke paid Chen Yi, his niece-in-law, money to change his words.

In addition, each of the four children received a thick red envelope and an electronic watch.

These days, electronic watches are still quite rare items, and the kids are very happy about it.

In the evening, return home.

Pei Ke watched TV with the two children in the living room, while Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang cleaned up the guest room together.

Sister Yu usually keeps the room clean, which includes changing the bed sheets and quilt covers, preparing slippers and thermos bottles, to ensure that Pei Ke has a comfortable stay.

"Xiaoyang, Mingzhu, thank you for keeping you busy."

Pei Ke stood at the door of the guest room, looking at the two of them with a smile.

Shen Mingzhu said, "Uncle, come in and see if there is anything missing."

Pei Ke entered the room, looked around, said "very good" several times, then opened one of the suitcases in the corner, took out two boxes of different sizes, and handed them to Pei Yang and Shen Mingzhu respectively.

"Open it and take a look."

At Peck's urging, the two men opened the boxes in their hands.

Shen Mingzhu's was a platinum necklace with a ruby ​​pendant.

Domestic jewelry in this era is generally made of gold and silver, and platinum is considered a very fashionable and novel metal, especially since there is a ruby ​​of about one carat on the pendant.

Under the light, the necklace sparkles and looks very beautiful.

Pei Yang's watch is a Rolex, a very classic 18K gold watch. Such a watch would cost at least thousands of dollars abroad.

"Uncle, these are too expensive."

Pei Ke said cheerfully, "I don't give gifts every year. It's been more than 20 years, and this is the only time. Take it, Xiaoyang. Think of the watch as your uncle's birthday gift to you. Before I knew it, you're already 30 years old. When I left, you were in the first grade and just reached my chest. Now you're a head taller than me. I didn't expect that my brother and sister-in-law would leave so early. I didn't even get to see them for the last time."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped his eyes.

After all, they are uncle and nephew. Pei Yang was also infected by the emotions and showed sadness on his face.

"Uncle, my parents are gone now. This will be your home from now on. Please come back often when you are free."

Pei Ke couldn't help nodding.

…

"What are you flipping, making pancakes?"

Hearing the man's teasing, Shen Mingzhu turned around and asked, "Then do you want to eat?"

"eat."

Shen Mingzhu kicked him in the bed and said, "I'm thinking about something."

"Am I unattractive? I'm lying next to you, but you're thinking about other things."

"Shao Pin, I'm serious with you."

Pei Yang smiled and hugged her waist, "Okay, tell me, what are you thinking about now?" (End of this chapter)
