Gu Xuanyi has good grades, so applying for overseas study shouldn't be too difficult for him.

"Okay, establish your career first and then start a family. With your personality, you're not capable of supporting a family."

Gu Ze knows his second son too well; sometimes he's quite childish.

"Liu Jiu, you and Nanfang still have to wait two more years. Is he doing well over there?"

Sister-in-law Gu looked at Liu Jiu, and the more she looked at the child, the more adorable he became.

"Yes, Auntie. They're doing well on their studies in the south. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll get our marriage certificate when he comes back."

Liu Jiu wasn't shy at all when talking about her marriage; she was quite open and honest.

Why didn't any of you ask me anything?

Sanqi watched as everyone at the table discussed marriage and partners, wondering why no one was asking him anything. He would be sixteen after the New Year.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot that Sanqi has grown up too. Auntie, could you please tell me what kind of wife Sanqi is looking for?"

"First, she has to be pleasing to the eye. She doesn't have to be super beautiful, but she has to be someone I find attractive. Second, she has to be smart. I don't like silly girls. It'll cause communication problems later on, and she might also have silly children. Especially for daughters, if they're not smart, they'll be easily fooled, like Mu Jiaojiao."

Also, one cannot lack common sense; people should be filial. I'm not asking her to completely obey her mother-in-law or husband, but at the very least, she should have basic respect and filial piety.

Sanqi surprised everyone. They knew this boy had ideas, but they never expected him to have such a clear understanding of his future wife.

"Sanqi, aren't you tired from studying? How can you still think about so many things?"

"My studies are alright, I can handle it. Isn't that normal? I have my own goals and things I want to do. I have parents and family, and my partner not only needs to be with me, but also with my family."

We're not just going to live a couple's life from now on, so of course we need to think these things through. If we marry for love without considering anything else, and then we can't integrate into each other's families, can such a marriage be happy?

We are five brothers, and we get along well. If we choose the wrong partners, it's easy for things to fall apart, and then we'll be caught in the middle. On one side is our wife, on the other side are our family. If we're not careful, we could end up with nothing after two years of being unsuccessful.

Others carefully considered Sanqi's words and found them to be quite reasonable.

Gu Xuanhao, still a child, listened attentively. He admired Brother Sanqi and thought he considered things very comprehensively.

During the Spring Festival, most of the time it's just about eating, drinking, and connecting with each other. Before we knew it, 1985 had passed.
