I didn't seem to be busy with anything, and another half month quietly passed.

The lunar calendar has reached the eleventh or twelfth month.

On December 16th, Wang Xiaolan returned from Lancheng, bringing her new boyfriend with her.

When Wang Tianxiao took a look, he realized he actually knew this person.

It turned out to be Comrade Meng, the younger brother of Manager Meng from the purchasing department of the provincial pharmaceutical company, who wanted to set up a laboratory here.

When Wang Tianxiao saw Xiao Meng, he suddenly felt that the world was so small.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the two met at a cultural salon. Coincidentally, they were both very interested in Russian literature, and gradually, they became a couple because of their shared interests.

Wang Tianxiao did not object to the marriage in principle, but he still called Xiao Meng to the rocks outside behind Wang Xiaolan's back.

I'm going to have a good talk with him.

With their father gone and their older brother no longer involved in these matters, and their mother's relationship with Xiaolan still not particularly close, he, as the older brother, definitely has to keep a close eye on his younger sister.

The familiar stones, the familiar mountain breeze, and even the familiar cucumber salad and stir-fried beef.

They were drinking Maling rice wine, which is the same wine that everyone in the neighborhood drinks.

Unlike their last meeting where he was full of boastful talk and high spirits, this time, due to the change in their status, Xiao Meng was very embarrassed and dared not speak freely with Wang Tianxiao. He seemed somewhat hesitant and stammering.

Wang Tianxiao, having been through similar experiences, understood the young man's predicament.

Understanding is one thing, but it doesn't mean one can let it go easily. He wants to thoroughly examine this person to see if he is really as honest as he appears on the surface.

"Xiao Meng, I never expected that we would meet again in this way. It just goes to show how small the world is."

"Mr. Wang, you're absolutely right. My meeting with Xiaolan could be attributed to shared interests, but perhaps it was fate that brought us together."

"Only you young people still think about things like fate."

Wang Tianxiao said calmly, "There aren't that many opportunities in the world for you to encounter. Everything that seems unrelated is actually just the inevitable result of your achievements and the things you've done."

“That’s right. Now that you mention it, I think what you said makes sense.” Xiao Meng quickly agreed when he heard a hint of distrust in Wang Tianxiao’s tone.

He learned from his girlfriend, Wang Xiaolan, how important Wang Tianxiao was to her. He seemed like an older brother, but in reality, he was no different from a father.

If Wang Tianxiao is not satisfied with himself, then he will not be able to be with Wang Xiaolan smoothly.

Despite his education and intellectual background, he was nothing compared to Wang Tianxiao. He had communicated with Wang Tianxiao before and knew that this person, who might become his child's uncle in the future, was not an ordinary herb grower.

He possesses foresight and insight rarely seen in this world.

Many of these are things that even I, a master's student, find difficult to understand and imagine.

"Living together as a couple is not a simple matter. Xiaolan has a strong personality. If you want to be together for a long time, you need to be more tolerant of each other."

However, tolerance is not about blindly enduring and being without principles. A long-term happy life cannot be achieved through one-sided sacrifices by one side. You must remember this.

I don't care about social status or such rules. We're all human; there's no strict hierarchy or class division. I hope you don't have that kind of thinking either. You're a master's student, and she's at most a semi-literary youth, but in reality, you're equals. Only by maintaining these most basic values ​​can you truly make it work; otherwise…”

Wang Tianxiao looked at Xiao Meng meaningfully, the deeper meaning of which was self-evident.

Xiao Meng understood perfectly and, without a second thought, gave Wang Tianxiao the answer he wanted.

"Don't worry, we've already considered these things. Besides, I don't think knowledge has much to do with a person's morality or outlook on life. Knowledge is just a skill, while what people need to survive in society is wisdom..."

Xiao Meng hesitated slightly before smiling and said, "Just like you, in terms of education, there is naturally a big gap between us, but in terms of experience, knowledge, and perspective, you are beyond my reach. I think these are things that cannot be learned from school."

Wang Tianxiao simply smiled faintly when he was suddenly flattered.

"In short, I've said everything I needed to say. The rest is up to you. But I still want to emphasize one point: if you ever stop loving each other or can't make it work, please don't hurt my sister. You should make peace with each other."

Two people may separate due to incompatible values, life pressures, or even trivial matters like who should use the bathroom first, but this is not a reason to hurt each other. There's no need to part ways bitterly, even if it's a happy ending.

Xiaolan is a simple girl, a bit straightforward, and also has a rebellious and shrewd personality. Since you knew these things from the beginning, don't use them as weapons or excuses to attack her someday. Instead, you should have found ways to resolve these issues from the start.

Wang Tianxiao talked a lot in one breath and felt a little tired.

He drank the rice wine in one gulp, his gaze fixed intently on the distant mountains in the darkness.

"It is not easy for a husband and wife to come together. It takes ten years to share a boat ride and a hundred years to share a pillow."

Xiao Meng looked at him silently, feeling that this man, who was only a few years older than her, seemed as tired as an old man.

.

On December 21st, it snowed heavily again.

It's been raining since last night and it's still raining this morning.
