Ever since Qin Yuman learned to speak, almost everyone who met her would praise her for being beautiful and smart.
And she lived up to everyone's praise. As she grew up, she became smarter and smarter, and her talent for learning even surpassed her mother.
Being beautiful is just one of her many advantages.
Many years have passed, and now Xu Mei is the editor-in-chief of the "Army Founding Daily". Needless to say, the value of this college student from twenty years ago is beyond words.
Everyone in the family praised her for being better than her teacher, but only Qin Yuman herself knew that she was different from other children of the same age.
Sometimes, she often had images of tall buildings and endless traffic in her mind.
As she grows older, these images become clearer, richer, and even more specific to life.
Qin Yuman was keenly aware that the person in her memory who had no parents and relied on social support to get into a top university was her former self.
Or rather, my former self.
They have the same appearance, but live in two completely different periods and have completely different growth environments.
She didn't tell anyone about this shocking thing.
Growing up with unconditional and intense love, she is naturally independent, confident, and capable of handling her own problems.
She only needs to be the precious daughter in the eyes of her parents and grandmother, that's enough.
In this way, she had a smooth life until she was eighteen years old.
This year, the struggles in society gradually became chaotic, and schools at every stage were no longer simply places for learning knowledge.
Qin Yuman returned home from university and began to study on her own, and her talent for literature gradually became apparent.
After staying at home for two months, it happened that the "Literary Supplement" needed an assistant editor, and Qin Yuman quickly stood out from several job seekers.
She didn't tell her mother the news until everything was settled.
Seeing her beloved daughter acting first and asking for permission later, Xu Mei felt a headache. "You want to do this, but the Jianjun Daily also has it, so why are you going to the Literary Supplement?"
Qin Yuman said seriously, "I don't rely on nepotism. I don't want others to say 'This is Xu Bian's daughter' when they see me."
She always utters some new words. Although Xu Mei has never heard of them before, she can still guess the meaning by connecting them with her words.
Looking at his daughter again, her eyes were bright and determined, and she was a very beautiful and majestic girl.
Xu Mei was proud, but she deliberately put on a sullen face. "Being my daughter, is that wronging you? Is that burying you?"
"That's not the case," Qin Yuman stepped forward to give her mother a back massage. "Being your and dad's daughter is a blessing I've earned."
"I just feel that rather than being called 'the daughter of the Chief of General Staff and Editor Xu,' I'd rather be called 'Qin Yuman's parents.'"
Xu Mei was simply defeated by her one set of rhetoric after another. She wanted to laugh, but also felt a little distressed.
It seems to have been like this since I was a child. No matter how well my daughter does in her studies, others seem to find justification when they know that she has a mother who is a top student.
But Xu Mei knew that these were the results of her daughter's own efforts.
"Okay, then mommy's been waiting for this day." She reached out and shook her daughter's hand, "waiting for the day when others call me my daughter's mommy."
In short, Xu Mei gave this matter a thumbs up.
But Qin Dongling and Guan Jinghua were both reluctant.
In their opinion, Xiaoman is still a girl, and it is too early for her to be an assistant editor.
"Mom, even if Dong Ling and I can protect her for most of her life, I still hope she can have a job and hobbies she likes."
Xu Mei herself has personal experience that marriage is not everything in her life, and work also brings her happiness.
The love of parents is far-reaching.
Guan Jinghua accepted this explanation.
As for her husband, he was even easier to deal with. As long as Xu Mei gave him a look, no matter how distressed he was, he would have to listen to his wife.
It was just that on the first day of his daughter's work, he was hesitant and wanted to give her a ride.
"Dad, once your car passes by, everyone will say I'm being high-profile. Please stop messing around."
Qin Yuman quickly packed her things and hurried out the door, with no intention of taking a car.
Seeing her husband's lost expression, Xu Mei held his hand and said, "A loving father often spoils his daughter, do you know?"
"As the child grows up, she needs her own space. Don't hold her back."
The couple got into the car together, and their voices were gradually isolated in the car.
In the three months that followed, Qin Yuman went from stumbling to becoming more proficient, and soon became the person most likely to become a formal editor of the Literary Supplement.
She adapted to this kind of life, but her godfather, godmother, three brothers, and parents all felt distressed when they saw her lose weight.
Mu Hong advised Xu Mei, "Forget it. You two have worked hard for most of your lives, don't you want a daughter like this? There is no need to worry about her future."
"Qingcheng and Yunqi knew about this and both wrote to say it was unnecessary."
The two families have lived in the same compound for more than ten years, and their relationship is as good as ever. This is no different from their own sister.
Xu Mei didn't answer this. She asked, "Are Yunqi and Qingcheng's injuries healed? Why haven't they returned yet?"
"Well," Mu Hong said angrily, "you two idiots, knowing you can go to the troops in front of Dingying, you are like chicken blood, and you can't stop me."
"Don't you think about what to do if something really happens? I don't think they dare to come back to see me."
A few months ago, Zhuo Yunqi and Zhuo Qingcheng were nearly killed in a riot outside Xinjiang. Upon hearing the news, Mu Hong was so frightened that she almost fainted.
If the conditions there were not inconvenient, she would have gone there at that time.
It doesn’t matter if these two rascals dare not come back now. She will settle the score with them during the Chinese New Year.
"Good fortune is yet to come for both of them." Xu Mei comforted.
Mu Hong snorted, "What's the point of saying luck or bad luck? The two of you haven't gotten married yet. If this continues, won't you both be single forever?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Mei and said with envy, "It's still good to have a daughter."
How worry-free and considerate, unlike the three stinky kids at home.
I was always worried about the bad relationship between my brothers and the bad relationship between my father and me. It really took a lot of thought.
Later, the relationship was indeed good.
As a result, because they worshipped their father, they went to such a dangerous place together and still hadn't gotten married. Mu Hong felt that it was only a matter of time before she would get angry at him and have a heart attack.
But it turns out that
Whether it's a son or a daughter, there are times when they are disobedient.
The Literary Supplement had a task that needed a clerk, and Qin Yuman was one of the three vacancies because of her work ability.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Mei fell silent. She had suffered so much before, and this was not easy either. She truly loved her daughter to the core.
Otherwise, why would she stop her mother and husband because of her words?
But this didn't mean she could accept her child traveling so far, especially at such a special time. "Tell me where you're going first?"
"Southwest Military Region," Qin Yuman said, "There's a very talented new screenwriter there, Wenxin. Her book 'Forward' is a huge hit. We need to go interview her."
This is a familiar and trance-inducing place.
Xu Mei hesitated for only a moment, then refused without hesitation, "You are not allowed to go."
"You've never been far away from home, so I'm worried. Your father and grandmother won't agree."
No matter how Qin Yuman pulled her and acted coquettishly, Xu Mei hardened her heart and refused to give in.
She thought that Qin Yuman would choose to give up because of her family's attitude.
But Xu Mei overlooked one point: Qin Yuman was the daughter of her and Qin Dongling. Both of them had stubborn characteristics, and Qin Yuman happened to inherit this.
While her parents were not at home, she packed her luggage and boarded the train to the Southwest Military Region.
By the time her family found the note she left, it was already morning and the train had been leaving for a long time.
"I'll bring this girl back right away." Qin Dongling spoke harshly, but his eyes were filled with worry.
Xu Mei's expression was complicated. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Forget it. Since she wants to go so badly, let's go with her."
Without her parents' obstruction, Qin Yuman made it all the way to the Southwest Military Region smoothly. Looking at this area, she felt inexplicably excited.
It seemed as if fate had destined me to finally arrive where I was supposed to be.
