The two families celebrated New Year's Day in 1979 together.
Mu Huaiqing and Chen Kun talked about the conference held by the country some time ago. Through university, the two had already learned about the country's policy direction, and the two old men were very interested in talking about reform and opening up.
Sun Yuqi was also sitting aside listening to the conversation between the two old people. To be honest, she didn't know much about reform and opening up, because when she died in her first life, reform and opening up had not yet begun. The reason she knew something about it was because she learned about it from reading a book in her second life. However, the book only gave a general description, and she knew nothing about the details.
In the blink of an eye, it was the summer of 1981 and Sun Yuqi graduated from university.
Carrying her luggage and accompanied by Mu Jingran, Sun Yuqi returned home. Grandpa Chen had already prepared a table of food, just waiting for Sun Yuqi to come back.
"Oh, you're back. Come in quickly. It's getting hotter."
Grandpa Chen came out with a palm-leaf fan in his hand.
"Grandpa, it's okay. Although it's a bit hot now, it's not unbearable."
Sun Yuqi supported Grandpa Chen and walked towards the grape trellis in the yard.
In the past few years, in addition to studying, Sun Yuqi has spent most of her time doing business with Lin Muran. However, Sun Yuqi seems to be not good at doing business. At the beginning, she followed Lin Muran and Chen Hao to do business, but after doing it for a while, Sun Yuqi felt that she really had no talent in this area, so she no longer paid attention to business matters, but chose to invest. Anyway, Lin Muran and Chen Hao are very passionate about business. Now, in addition to their studies, they usually travel around the country. Now Chen Hao has established a firm foothold in the former small fishing village in the south.
Lin Muren also went to help during holidays. The business was not necessarily big, but Sun Yuqi could still earn three to two thousand in dividends every year, which made Sun Yuqi very satisfied.
The rest of the time is spent waiting for work assignments, and I don’t know where I will be assigned to work.
After dinner, the three of them sat in the house and chatted, and Grandpa Chen thought about it.
"Yuqi, do you have any plans for your future work?"
Sun Yuqi said with a smile.
"Grandpa, our professor said that I should be assigned to a school in Beijing to teach history. However, I have taken archaeology as an elective in recent years, so I may be recruited by the National Cultural Heritage Administration's archaeological team. However, this has not been determined yet, so we need to wait and see."
After hearing what Sun Yuqi said, Chen Kun stopped asking questions, but he thought that Sun Yuqi was already 22 years old this year.
"Yuqi, you're already 22 this year, but you can't delay any longer. I think you and Jingran should put marriage on the agenda."
When Sun Yuqi heard her grandfather say this, she smiled and looked at Mu Jingran.
"Grandpa, I've already promised Jingran about this. We plan to get the marriage certificate after I get a job, and then we can discuss the marriage."
Mu Jingran also nodded.
"Grandpa, don't worry! I've already registered my marriage, and I've also submitted my transfer report."
Chen Kun was stunned when he suddenly heard that Mu Jingran had submitted a report for transfer, and looked at Mu Jingran.
"Do your grandparents and uncles know about this?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I made this decision after discussing it with them."
Chen Kun felt relieved when he knew that Mu Jingran did not make the decision alone.
"So, what are your plans for the future? Where are you planning to work?"
Mu Jingran looked at Sun Yuqi and saw the encouragement in her eyes before speaking.
"Grandpa, you also know that with the reform and opening up in the past two years, the country wants to develop the economy, so it needs people to do business. Chen Hao and Lin Muran have already started doing business in the past two years. The country has established special economic zones along the coast. I want to go to the south to see where I can transfer to work, but it's hard to say for now."
When Chen Kun heard this, he suddenly became unhappy and stared at Mu Jingran.
"You mean you're going to go south after you get married? Then why are you leaving my granddaughter here? What's the point of getting married?"
Mu Jingran saw that Grandpa Chen was angry and said hurriedly.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. We have thought this through carefully. Now that the country is reforming and opening up, there are many things to be done. People are needed everywhere. We are still young. We can't just stay together!"
Chen Kun stood up, took two steps while fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, and looked at Mu Jingran again.
"I don't care what you think. I can't let my granddaughter stay alone in an empty house. You run to the South. Now either you go directly to the South, or marry Yuqi and transfer to a job in Beijing. Any unit will do. Otherwise, forget it."
Seeing that her grandfather was angry, Sun Yuqi quickly stood up and pulled her grandfather down to sit.
"Grandpa, how about this? Jingran goes to the south, and I'll go too. I'll find a school there to be a history teacher, and then I'll buy a house there. Grandpa can also come to the south and live with us for a while."
When Chen Kun heard Sun Yuqi say this, he first glared at Mu Jingran, and then looked at Sun Yuqi.
"This idea is not bad, Yuqi. You have to know that you are my only relative. I will need you to take care of me in my old age. If you go to the south, I must go with you."
Seeing that grandpa had calmed down, Sun Yuqi smiled and said.
"Look at what you said, Grandpa. You are not old at all. But don't worry about my support for your old age."
Chen Kun then stopped paying attention to Mu Jingran and turned back to the house. Mu Jingran looked at Sun Yuqi with a helpless look.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect Grandpa to react so violently."
Sun Yuqi waved her hand.
"We were indeed a little thoughtless in this matter. It's normal for Grandpa to be angry, but what do you think of my suggestion just now?"
Mu Jingran of course knew what Sun Yuqi said and was a little hesitant.
"Not very good. I think it's unlikely that you will become a history teacher. You may end up working in the archaeological team of the Cultural Relics Bureau."
Sun Yuqi actually wants to be a history teacher. After all, being a teacher is easy, and there are two or three months of vacation every year.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Once my assignment comes through, we'll go get the certificate! I don't think it's likely that you'll transfer to the South. This is just our idea for now. When the time comes, you'll follow the organization's arrangements for your work."
After seeing Mu Jingran off, Sun Yuqi returned home. Seeing that the light in her grandfather's room was on, Sun Yuqi knocked on the door until she heard her grandfather's voice. Then she pushed the door open and walked in.
