Qingshantun, Brigade Headquarters Office.
Xie Yuyao hung up the phone, looking dazed.
If Zhao Honghui really becomes an instructor at the National Defense University, then he will be a university teacher, and she will be a university student. Even though they are not in the same school, it would still be considered a teacher-student relationship, right?
Oh no! They're already married, so it's not a taboo teacher-student relationship.
But it just feels so awkward!
"Yaoyao, what did Honghui say?" Yang Chunhua asked her cautiously.
Xie Yuyao shook her head, bringing her thoughts back: "It's some work-related stuff. I'll tell you the details when he gets back."
"Oh, okay." Yang Chunhua knew Xie Yuyao was tight-lipped; no one could force her to talk about things she didn't want to, so she had to suppress her curiosity. "Then you should go home for dinner tonight."
"Honghui doesn't know if he needs to work overtime, so let's go back after dinner." Xie Yuyao smiled, but her eyes remained firm and unwavering.
Since getting married, she has visited her husband's family very few times, clearly indicating that she doesn't want to have too much involvement with them.
Yang Chunhua went through a long psychological journey from initially being warmly invited to eventually going with her.
Each time her invitations were declined, her eldest son would specially buy her and her husband some useful things, and they would go home to drink tea and chat.
After a while, Yang Chunhua stopped bothering with it. The eldest son, however, took the initiative to suggest that they go back to the host's house for dinner every Saturday evening.
Each time, the couple would bring their own ingredients, and the eldest son would even cook a meal to show off his skills, afraid that his wife would feel wronged when it came to food.
This made Yang Chunhua very jealous, and she complained to Zhao Laoda about it.
The rough-around-the-edges Zhao Laoda couldn't connect with her emotions, only saying that she was too old to be sentimental, which made Yang Chunhua so angry that she almost got into a fight with him.
Of course, a real fight was out of the question. After decades of marriage, she knew exactly what kind of man her husband was, and could only grieve in silence.
When she confided in her sister-in-law Wang Qiufen, she discovered that Wang Qiufen was even more distressed: her eldest son, Zhao Jianbin, was still unmarried.
Over the years, without the interference of their families, Zhao Jianbin and Yang Shumei have maintained a good relationship. However, there is one problem: Yang Shumei refuses to agree to marriage.
According to her, the two of them must pass the college entrance examination and then consider marriage after entering university.
However, through persistent pleading, Wang Qiufen had already learned about Yang Shumei's family background from the brigade leader, and it was clear that they were not a good match.
If Yang Shumei goes back to her hometown to attend university, who can guarantee that she will still be interested in her honest and straightforward eldest son?
What will happen to her eldest son if she changes her mind or faces strong opposition from her family?
Compared to her anxious, bubbling lips, Zhao Jianbin was all smiles and continued living his life as usual.
In his words, he would do everything in his power to be with Shumei. If the two of them truly could not overcome the gap in their family backgrounds, he would still strive to do so without any regrets.
But he remained confident about their future, especially after estimating their scores.
Through the guidance of renowned teachers and years of unwavering study, Zhao Jianbin, who did not attend high school, eventually surpassed his peers. His strong mental fortitude led him to perform exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, achieving scores even higher than usual, qualifying him for admission to numerous universities in Beijing.
As long as the two are in the same city, it doesn't count as a long-distance relationship, so he and Yang Shumei won't separate.
But there's one thing: seeing his older cousin win the heart of his beautiful girlfriend, he also felt very passionate.
However, he respected Shumei's decision and felt that the situation was better now, and the wedding should be a grand affair with both families present, rather than being hasty or unfair to Shumei.
As time passed, the date for filling out college applications quietly arrived.
