Aunt Li clearly didn't want to let Chief Engineer Sun off the hook so easily, and continued speaking.
Aunt Li was always worried about Chief Engineer Sun's health and often complained about it.
“It is necessary for some people to make sacrifices for the prosperity of the country, but it has been thirty years since the founding of the country. It is time to give some benefits to the sacrificed people. What is the use of mourning when someone dies, sending a few wreaths, and shedding a few tears?” Aunt Li said. “Huo Yingjie said these things for his own sake, but at the same time he was speaking up for other researchers.”
"Alright, then I'll discuss it with a few people and implement some reforms," said Chief Engineer Sun. Huo Yingjie and his wife were right; once a person is dead, nothing else matters.
Huo Yingjie's efforts paid off, and Chief Engineer Sun and several other leaders were discussing it.
Finally, an anonymous poll was conducted, and 96% of the votes were in favor of having rest days.
Chief Engineer Sun then realized that everyone was resisting endless overtime.
Anyway, the research institute would make changes, so Huo Yingjie stopped paying attention and focused on his work. Finally, on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, he finished his work, handed it over to Chief Engineer Sun, and immediately packed his things and left.
Chief Engineer Sun shook his head and chuckled at Huo Yingjie's impatient manner.
After He Tiantian finished the exams, graded the papers, recorded the scores, added the usual grades, and calculated the total scores for the students in the class.
Scholarship recipients will be commended after the Lunar New Year holiday and the start of the new semester.
Although there were a few students in the class with relatively poor grades, they all scored over 60 points, so they wouldn't have to retake the exam, which finally relieved He Tiantian.
She was afraid that her classmates would be so busy writing that they would forget about their serious studies.
"Teacher He, it's the holidays now, do you have any plans?" Teacher Wu asked. She had already figured out how to spend the New Year and wanted to hear He Tiantian's suggestions.
He Tiantian had finished packing her things and said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably go back to the old house for the New Year."
"Going to Yenching?" Teacher Wu asked curiously. "Do you go every year?"
“Yes, we go every year,” He Tiantian said. “What about you?”
“We’re spending the New Year at home. My husband’s hometown is too far away, and he doesn’t want to go,” Teacher Wu said proudly. “It’s so far and so cold, he doesn’t want to go to that remote mountain village!”
He Tiantian was taken aback, but didn't say anything.
Upon hearing Ms. Wu's words, Ms. Chen shook her head and said, "Ms. Wu, you are still young and don't yet understand that doing this is harmful. Your family is local, and you can see your parents all year round. But your husband was also born of parents, and he rarely has a holiday during the Spring Festival. It's a bit unreasonable for him not to go back."
“But I’m not used to living here!” Teacher Wu retorted. “Anyway, if he goes home, let him go back on his own. I’m not going back.”
Teacher Chen is quite old, so he said a few words to Teacher Wu, hoping she would be alright. But this girl isn't kind-hearted; she doesn't understand others, and she definitely won't have a good future.
"Hehe, when you got married, you accepted your husband, which meant you accepted his family." Teacher Chen shook his head. "Never mind, you young people think differently from us, but you can't lose your basic filial piety."
After saying that, Teacher Chen took the briefcase and left to begin her winter vacation.
After Teacher Chen left, Teacher Wu curled her lip and said, "Old feudal, meddling in other people's business."
He Tiantian looked up, glanced at Teacher Wu, and didn't say anything.
He Tiantian disdained to speak to such a person.
They think they are superior and can trample on other people's hearts.
Ms. Wu was wrong in her dealings with both her husband and Ms. Chen.
So what if he's a highly educated person? Give me a break!
"Teacher He, why aren't you saying anything?" Teacher Wu noticed that He Tiantian only glanced at her and didn't speak.
How can we talk if we don't have a common language?
If you are not filial to your parents, why should others agree with you?
He Tiantian also understands that not all mothers-in-law are as reasonable as Jiang Lifang, but most are quite good, especially after a couple gets married. Men should respect their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, and women should respect their mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law.
This is mutual.
You can't expect your own parents to be your relatives, while the man's parents are treated like dirt.
Your in-laws may have some different ideas or opinions from young people, but you don't have to listen to them or argue with them; you should at least give them basic respect.
"Hehe, what did you say?" He Tiantian pretended not to hear Teacher Wu and Teacher Chen's conversation, just not wanting to continue the topic with her.
Ms. Wu was taken aback. He Tiantian clearly knew what she had just said, but pretended not to know, which made her feel a little frustrated. However, since He Tiantian hadn't heard clearly, she couldn't explain it again!
"It's nothing, I'm leaving now. Happy Chinese New Year everyone." Teacher Wu picked up her bag and walked briskly, her leather shoes making a series of sounds as they stomped on the ground.
"Hehe, Teacher He, Teacher Wu is angry," a male teacher said softly.
“Yes, Teacher He,” Mi Wei, the young female teacher opposite He Tiantian, chimed in softly, “You clearly heard her, so why didn’t you respond?”
He Tiantian smiled and said, "I don't know how to respond!"
"Hehe, you're right," Mi Wei laughed. "Luckily you didn't ask me, otherwise I wouldn't know how to answer!"
"Sigh, if my wife were like that, I probably wouldn't be able to live like this," Wang Bin shook his head and chuckled. "Compared to her, I realize my wife is really great. Not only does she come back to my hometown with me during winter break, but she also goes during summer break, and she often helps with cooking at home. On the contrary, it's my mother who speaks ill of my wife in front of me."
"Hehe, as long as you know your wife is good, that's enough." Teacher He laughed. "The reason why women do this is actually because they love their husbands, which is why they respect their husbands' parents."
Mi Wei chimed in, "Wang Bin, your sister-in-law is a good woman. Although daughters-in-law should respect their mothers-in-law, some mothers-in-law are just old hags who make things difficult for their daughters-in-law and think that whatever they do is wrong."
"Hehe, is your mother-in-law giving you a hard time?" Wang Bin asked. "You've only been married for two months!"
“Sigh, that old hag won’t change just because the marriage was short,” Mi Wei said with a wry smile. “I was planning to go back to my parents’ home to borrow some money to buy a small house so we could move out and not live with my in-laws and their whole family anymore. Take making breakfast, for example. My mother-in-law is retired, but she’s still healthy. If she doesn’t make breakfast, that’s fine, but there’s me and my sister-in-law, right? We can take turns, one a week or one day each. But she insists on waking us both up to make breakfast together, even on this cold day. We can’t even sleep in. And that’s not all, she’s also trying to sow discord between me and my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is a straightforward person, and she came to me directly to tell me, and that’s how I found out my mother-in-law was stirring things up.”
