But after meeting Ping An, Gong Chao's wife really looked down on her own children. She felt that the gap was very big. "Why don't we have a child suitable for Ping An and Zhu Zhu?"
Whenever there is a suitable child, one would definitely want to arrange a marriage for the child. With a sober father, how could the child be confused?
Gong Chao couldn't remember how many times his wife had mentioned this topic, and the frequency of mentioning it had increased a lot recently.
Originally, he just mentioned his own wife casually. After all, Ping An and Zhu Zhu, the siblings, were really outstanding. Add to that the relationship with Zhao Lei, it would be a lie to say that no one was moved.
"Why did you mention this recently?" Gong Chao glanced at his wife. "We have been neighbors with Zhao Lei and his wife for many years. You should know what they think."
"For them, they have never thought about marrying up." Gong Chao recalled a time when he was drinking with Zhao Lei. When Zhao Lei was drunk, he mentioned that he would not let his children marry children from wealthy families, and it would be better to improve his own family's status.
At that time, he thought Zhao Lei's idea was good, but it was not easy to realize it. Who would have thought that he actually did it.
"So, don't think about picking up children from various relatives." Gong Chao whispered.
When Gong Chao's wife heard this, she immediately knew that her husband must have misunderstood. "They are not my relatives from my mother's side. When your sister-in-law and her family came back a while ago, they meant that Ping An and they were doing well."
"Then my sister-in-law mentioned her relatives from her mother's side, saying that they were about the same age as Ping An and they could interact with each other."
"My sister-in-law and others mentioned it. What was my brother's reaction?" Gong Chao recalled for a long time, but he really didn't remember anything like it.
Gong Chao's wife thought about it and said, "No reaction, but your brother must know it, because he is right next to you and has no reaction at all."
My wife will never lie, so if my brother knows about it and doesn't react, it means he agrees with what my sister-in-law did.
"Brother's current position has not changed for seven or eight years." He should have moved a few years ago, but unfortunately the movement came and Brother's position kept changing. "He got anxious."
After all, there are only so many opportunities for promotion, and my brother really doesn't want to wait any longer. If he waits any longer, there may be no chance at all.
Gong Chao's wife knew, of course, "But isn't it a little early for them to keep an eye on Ping An now?"
"Let's not talk about whether Ping An will fall in love with his sister-in-law's relatives and get together when he grows up. Even if they really get together, it will take at least many years."
"Even if Ping An skips a grade, he still has to go back to junior high school and senior high school." The more Gong Chao's wife thought about it, the more confused she became.
Gong Chao thought for a moment, "Maybe he is thinking about the future. My brother is not stupid. He knows what is going on outside right now."
“If the old man hadn’t seen that the situation was not right, he would have been sent to a sanatorium. Who knows…” Many of the old comrades who were in similar situations to the old man have now been suppressed or reformed.
As for their children, they were of course sent down to the countryside for reform. Their own family's current situation was the best, but the price was to maintain the current situation.
Gong Chao's wife actually didn't understand why they did this before, "Are they focusing on the future?"
"Yes, my brother can stay still, but his children can't be like this. The old man is old now, and I don't know when this will end."
Gong Chao let out a long sigh. Now that he is older, he has more things to consider. It is impossible to be the same as before.
