Chapter 464 Preparation
After walking out of the room with sleepy eyes, Luo Min saw her man wiping his body and rolled her eyes at him one after another.

We said everything was fine in the car when we came back last night, that we would take a shower and go to bed when we got home, and not make any more trouble.

Ha ha……

Men's words are really deceiving!
Seeing his wife's rolling eyes, Li Yancheng smiled and asked in a very servile manner, "Wife, what do you want for breakfast? I'll make it for you."

"I want to have a plate of fried liver and two meat buns."

"Uh... I can't do this. I'll buy some as soon as I change my clothes."

"Hmph..." After rolling his eyes again, Luo Min turned around and walked into the house. Just after taking a step, he exclaimed, "Eh?"

"Huh? When did these three guys come back? We didn't see them when we came back last night."

It turned out that she saw three cats sleeping on the chairs.

"I just came back, and someone slipped in when I got up to open the door."

After wringing out the towel in his hand, Li Yancheng walked into the kitchen with the basin and poured the water into the sink. Then he went back into the house, put down the basin, and changed his clothes.

"You only eat fried liver and steamed buns, what else do you want to eat?"

After changing clothes, Li Yancheng looked at Luo Min who was standing beside the chair teasing the three cats and preventing them from sleeping and asked.

"No, that's enough. Just think about what you want to eat."

"Okay, then go wash up, I'll go buy it now."

It is not yet seven o'clock, Li Yancheng walked out of the house to buy breakfast. Fu Shuyi, who lives in the Capital Hotel, was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night because she was about to see her eldest son who had been missing for many years.

Knowing that her body could not stay up late, she still could not fall asleep at 11 o'clock at night. She got up and took two sleeping pills, and only then was she able to fall asleep.

Just like that, she woke up before six o'clock in the morning. After washing up, she took out the clothes she brought with her in the room and changed them over and over again.

At seven o'clock, Zhou Yunhong, her fifty-year-old life assistant who has been taking care of her for nearly twenty years, came in with a glass of milk. What she saw was clothes scattered everywhere.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?"

"Yunhong, please help me see what clothes are suitable for me to wear today."

Seeing the assistant come in, Fu Shuyi's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly.

Zhou Yunhong understood that the lady was preparing for the recognition of relatives later.

She pursed her lips and smiled gently, put the cup in her hand on the coffee table, then walked to Fu Shuyi, supported her arm, and let her sit on the sofa.

"Ma'am, don't be in a hurry. Drink this glass of milk."

"Oh, how can I not be anxious? It's already seven o'clock, and Jiansheng will be here at nine o'clock."

Although she knew that her eldest son's name had been changed to Li, Fu Shuyi was still used to saying this original name.

"lady……"

Seeing Fu Shuyi's anxious look, life assistant Zhou Yunhong didn't say anything more to tell her not to be anxious. She turned her head to look at the various clothes thrown on the bed in the bedroom, and then glanced at the clothes thrown on the sofa in the living room. She soon made a decision in her mind.

"Madam, I think you should just wear something homely, which will make you look friendly. After all, you are meeting your son today, not a business partner or a leader. You don't need to be too formal, as that will make everyone feel distant."

Fu Shuyi brought a lot of clothes on this trip. Although her main purpose this time was to recognize her relatives, she also had another identity. She was the wife of the current head of the Cheng family, and a shareholder and director of a listed company in the United States controlled by the Cheng family.

Whether after arriving in Hong Kong Island or landing in China, she needed to attend several very formal banquets.

When attending this kind of banquet, you can't dress casually, so she brought a lot of Western dresses and Chinese cheongsams this time.

Fu Shuyi tried it many times during this half day, but she always felt uncomfortable after putting it on, so she put it on and took it off, and put it on again, but she couldn't make up her mind.

Now after hearing what her assistant said, she thought about it for a moment and felt that it was true. There was really no point in dressing so formally. The most important thing was to make herself appear more approachable.

"Yes, Yunhong, you are right."

"Ma'am, since you have decided what to wear, you should drink this glass of milk first. I will bring you breakfast later."

"Okay, Yunhong, when you came over, did you see Jianwen and Yushi get up?"

"You are already up, ma'am. The young master and the young mistress are having dinner in the restaurant downstairs now."

"Yeah." Hearing that her youngest son and daughter-in-law had already started eating, Fu Shuyi nodded with satisfaction, picked up the cup of milk on the coffee table and drank it in one gulp.

Zhou Yunhong took the cup and left the room. She was going to the restaurant downstairs to get the food.

After she went out, Fu Shuyi stood up and walked to the window to look outside.

She is a native of Beijing. Of course, her ancestral home is not here. Her family's original surname was not Fu, but Fucha. After the demise of the previous dynasty, all members of her family changed their surname to Fu.

When the Cheng family left the country and went to the other side of the world, most of her immediate relatives left with them. There was still a small number who were reluctant to leave their homeland and did not leave. Now they cannot be contacted.

The person who is closest to her in the country should be her aunt, her mother's sister.

Her aunt is only five years older than her and is not yet seventy years old. If she could have survived the past few years and is in good health, she should still be alive.

This time she did not ask the foreign affairs department in charge of reception to find her aunt. She wanted to wait until she recognized her eldest son and then ask her eldest son to look for her.

Standing in front of the window and looking outside, having been away from here for more than 30 years, the scene outside gave her a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The alleys under the imperial city are still the same, but many courtyards appear a bit messy due to illegal construction.

The demolished city walls, the newly built and expanded large square, the majestic auditorium, monuments and other buildings were all strange and new to her.

Ugh……

After all, things are different and we can never go back to the way they were before.

After sighing silently, she turned around and sat back on the sofa, and began to think about her eldest son whom she hadn't seen for more than 30 years.

When she was in the United States, she asked the foreign affairs staff in charge of liaison that she wanted to see a recent photo of her eldest son.

The answer she got was that because her eldest son's job was very special, photos of him were strictly prohibited from being leaked, so her request could not be met and she could only wait for the meeting.

But the staff told her that her eldest son looked very much like her husband, and even more like her youngest son. This answer always made her feel itchy.

Very similar, but how similar could they be? These two brothers are not twins, and they are eight years apart in age. It is really hard for her to imagine.

My eldest son is now forty years old. Does he have wrinkles on his face?

Life in the country has been so hard in recent years, he must be very thin, maybe even have white hair.

In Fu Shuyi's opinion, her youngest son Cheng Jianwen has been flying around all day for business in recent years. The physical fatigue, coupled with the mental fatigue caused by the intrigues in the business world, has made him look very experienced even though he is only in his early thirties.

Then because of social environment problems and the lack of food and clothing, the eldest son who has always lived in the country should look older.

Suddenly, her mind turned again and she thought of her eldest daughter-in-law.

What does the eldest daughter-in-law look like? Is she pretty? Is she virtuous? Does she stay at home to take care of the children, or does she also have a job?
She also thought that her son had no relatives and wondered if his wife's family would bully him.

No, he shouldn't be bullied, because she remembered that the staff of the foreign affairs department said that her eldest son was engaged in a special job. Although she couldn't imagine what kind of special job it was, since there were so many requirements, he should not be bullied easily.

By the way, there are grandchildren. She heard from the staff that the eldest son now has a son and a daughter. The boy is the eldest son and is ten years old this year, and the younger girl is seven years old.

Why did he get married and have children so late?
People of this era generally get married early. It is rare for someone to have a child at the age of 30 like Li Yancheng, unless there is a health problem.

The images that emerged in Fu Shuyi's mind at this moment were all a series of problems surrounding her eldest son.

In fact, she had been thinking about these questions since the day she knew her eldest son was still alive. She had been writing letters to him over the years. Although she could not get any response, she felt relieved. Now, with less than two hours left, she could see her eldest son whom she had not seen for more than 30 years. As time approached, she felt more and more uneasy.

At 7:30 in the morning, Cheng Jianwen and his wife Hao Yushi, who had finished breakfast in the restaurant downstairs, came to Fu Shuyi's room together.

The old lady was so excited that she couldn't eat at all. Under the persuasion of her assistant Zhou Yunhong, she only ate half a fried dough stick and a Goubuli bun, and then she had no appetite anymore.

"Sister Hong, have you prepared the medicine the doctor prescribed for my mother?"

As soon as I entered the door, Cheng Jianwen made arrangements.

"Don't worry, young master. I've prepared everything." Zhou Yunhong patted his pocket.

Hao Yushi walked up and sat next to her mother-in-law and held her hand.

"Mom, it's a good thing to see my brother. Don't get too excited. Dad just called us and told us to take care of your health."

"I understand. I know my own body well. I want to see Zhenyu grow up, get married and have children."

The Zhenyu the old lady was talking about is Cheng Jianwen’s son. He is seven years old this year, the same age as Xiaoyu.

In her early years, she gave birth to Jianwen and her youngest daughter Mingxi. Due to her physical condition, the children were taken care of by a wet nurse and she was just an assistant.

When Yu Shi gave birth to Zhenyu, the old lady's health had recovered a lot. She has been taking care of this grandson personally, pouring a lot of her effort into it.

Her biggest wish at present is to see her grandson get married and have children in the future.

"Mom, Mingxi was there when Dad called just now. She said she wanted to come over and see Big Brother, too."

Cheng Mingxi, Fu Shuyi's youngest daughter, is 29 years old this year, married, and has a pair of twin daughters who are already four years old.

Originally, she was supposed to come with us on this trip to China, but when she was submitting the name list in June, she was found out to be pregnant, so she was unable to come.

Now she is four months pregnant and the fetus is stable, so she has the idea of ​​coming over again.

After listening to this, Fu Shuyi said, "Okay, I'll call you back later. Let's not let her run away this time. As long as the policy here doesn't change, there will be many opportunities for her to come here in the future."

"Mom, you're right. I think so too. Mingxi is pregnant after all. It's really not safe to sit on a plane for such a long time."

"Um"

Just as Fu Shuyi and her two daughters were anxiously waiting for time at the Beijing Hotel, several guests arrived at No. 20 Meishan East Courtyard.

Li Yancheng went out to buy breakfast and had just finished eating with his wife when the doorbell rang.

The people who came were staff members of the foreign affairs department, as well as his leader, Secretary-General Hong Dingguo.

Secretary-General Hong came over, firstly to introduce himself to the comrades from the foreign affairs department, and secondly to remind them again of the foreign affairs discipline within their Social Affairs Bureau.

Although the people Li Yancheng was going to meet today were his mother, younger brother, and sister-in-law in terms of blood relationship, these three people were also foreigners.

Since you are meeting foreigners, there are special disciplinary requirements, what you can say and what you cannot say, even if they are relatives. After all, the rule of not sue your parents or your wife and children is not written there just for reading.

At the same time, Secretary-General Hong also brought two people, a man and a woman. These two people will follow Li Yancheng and his wife throughout the day and record every word and every movement of his and Luo Min's conversation with them.

There are some regulations that require the staff from the foreign affairs department to come so early and inform them in advance.

"By the way, about the workplace..."

"You can just say you work in the public security system. It just so happens that you have a public security work permit. Of course, you don't have to take out your work permit. The same goes for Comrade Luo Min.

And, Comrade Yancheng, if Ms. Fu asks to take a photo together, please try to decline. It is better not to expose your photo. This is also for the safety of the Cheng family."

"Your people can just tell her no directly. Why do you want me to be the bad guy?" Li Yancheng said with a little dissatisfaction as he looked at the foreign affairs staff who was speaking.

The man smiled a little embarrassedly. Some things were really hard for them to say. The mother came to recognize her relatives and wanted to take a photo with her son who had been separated from her for many years. This request was actually not excessive at all.

But Li Yancheng's identity made this request almost a luxury.

Let them talk to Fu Shuyi directly. They are afraid that others will not understand. After all, it is the mainland that needs these businessmen, but you are trying to stop even this common sense. How can you say that?

Therefore, they could only hope that Li Yancheng would refuse himself. Even though they hadn't seen each other for decades, he was still their direct blood relative.

"Comrade Yancheng, we are mainly worried that if we say this, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings and bring inconvenience to the united front work, so... hehe, I hope Comrade Yancheng can understand."

Of course Li Yancheng understood. He was just saying it casually. He would definitely cooperate with the work that needed to be cooperated with. What's more, this request was mainly made for safety considerations.

Even if the people in the foreign affairs department didn't say anything, he would not let his photos spread.

Doing so can not only protect himself, but also his wife and children, as well as the Cheng family.

If certain foreign organizations knew that this guy on the list was actually the wandering descendant of the Cheng family, the Cheng family would have a hard time in the future.

"Okay, I get it." He nodded. "In fact, in my opinion, there is no need to take a photo together. I looked at the photos of Chengjujianwen and he does look a lot like me."

The foreign affairs staff member in charge of the conversation smiled. He participated in the reception and saw the whole process with his own eyes. He was really similar to the Deputy Secretary-General Li in front of him.

There was something he didn't say. If he didn't know this person's age clearly, he would have doubted who was older between him and the second young master of the Cheng family.

"Comrade Yan Cheng, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to."

"Speaking"

"That's about Comrade Luo Min's identity."

"My wife's identity?" Li Yancheng was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at his wife.

Luo Min was also a little stunned. What was his identity? What special identity did he have?
Li Yancheng reacted quickly. He immediately understood what the foreign affairs staff meant.

"Oh, you mean my father-in-law."

Okay, now Luo Min understood. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Her father's identity is indeed sensitive.

The staff member nodded: "That's right. Ms. Fu is a foreigner after all. It's better not to let them know Mr. Luo's identity for the time being."

"Okay!" Li Yancheng agreed very readily. He knew the importance of the matter.

Time passed slowly. At half past eight, Hong Dingguo left first. At forty past eight, Li Yancheng and Luo Min changed into the uniforms that had been ironed last night.

The uniforms they currently wear are the "Type 72" police uniforms. When they were first distributed, the winter and summer tops and trousers were both navy blue. The hats were changed to "Type 55" wide-brimmed hats, but the soft liberation caps were retained, also navy blue. The hats of female police officers are brimless hats, and the cap badge is a round one with a red lacquer base, with the national emblem embossed in the center.

Two years after this uniform was distributed, that is, in the 25th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some minor adjustments were made.

At that time, the majority of police officers reported that the all-blue summer police uniforms were not bright in color and had a strong ability to absorb heat, which was not conducive to the execution of their duties.

Therefore, with approval from above, the decision to reform the police uniform was made in March of the 25th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China. From May of that year, the uniforms were slightly adjusted. Summer clothes were all changed to white on top and blue on the bottom, and white hat covers with blue brims were also issued. That is, in the summer, the police hats worn by the police were covered with white hat covers, becoming white police hats.

In the 26th year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the police uniforms underwent some minor adjustments. This time the adjustments only targeted female comrades, and female police officers were given skirt uniforms, which were also white on top and blue on the bottom.

At this point, the "Type 72" police uniform was completely finalized, and there were no subsequent changes until the uniform was changed.

Today they were wearing summer clothes, white on top and blue on the bottom, and neither of them wore police hats.

Luo Min wore a navy blue skirt and round-toed leather shoes. The police uniform, which had no shape at all, made her look seductive. Ignoring her baby face, she looked heroic.

After walking out of the room, the staff of the foreign affairs department and the two recorders sent by the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters were all dazzled by the sight of the handsome man and pretty woman, a match made in heaven.
