It is rare that the whole family has time for the Chinese New Year this year. Not only did Gu Qingbei and Jiang Mengxue return to Beijing, but Gu Yanchen also came back. This is a rare reunion year for the family.
Gu Cheng'an returned to the courtyard to pick up his second grandparents. When he walked into the alley, he saw a tall man standing inside. His military coat made him look even taller.
"Brother Ruirui."
Gu Chengan was very happy. She thought that only her eldest brother had returned.
Wan Zhengxi looked back and smiled helplessly.
"How many times have I told you this? Can you stop using nicknames and call him Brother Mobao? Let's see if he can handle you."
Gu Chengan curled her lips and said she didn’t dare.
"Are you here to pick up Grandma Wang? Then wait for me and let's go together. I'll go see if Second Grandpa and Second Grandma have packed."
---
Gu Chengan started his internship at the China Foreign Affairs University in his senior year, doing translation work.
At the beginning, it was all written translation, which tested her vocabulary. She even had to look up some professional terms in the dictionary.
However, she has an excellent memory and can remember a lot of information she has come into contact with very clearly.
She has strong professional abilities and was noticed by her superiors soon after she started working and was taken under their supervision to learn.
She devotes all her energy and time to her work. Due to the special nature of her job, she sometimes doesn't even have time to go home during the Spring Festival, and she often has to travel abroad on business.
This makes my family very worried. Nowadays, not to mention foreign countries, even many places in China are not that safe.
Although they will have personal protection when they go out, they are not in their own territory after all when they are abroad.
However, this career was chosen by Gu Cheng'an herself, and she also likes it.
She has learned various musical instruments, dancing, and painting since she was a child.
Jiang Mengxue initially thought that it would be a good idea for her to pursue an artistic career, as painter sounded quite prestigious.
But Gu Cheng'an was unwilling to do so. Although she liked painting very much, she could just treat it as a hobby and there was no need to pursue it professionally.
Jiang Mengxue lets her son do whatever he wants, but she doesn't think so about her only daughter.
What if you get bullied outside? You are young and don’t know anything, and you might be deceived by some man’s sweet words.
I'm not close to my family, so my family won't know if something happens.
Jiang Mengxue could only ask her sons in Beijing to visit her often and pay more attention to whether there were any men with ulterior motives approaching her.
At first, Gu Cheng'an thought that her brothers just cared about her and would come to take her out to eat or bring her food and daily necessities whenever they had time.
But after waiting for a long time, she noticed that the brothers looked at the male colleagues around her with strange eyes. Only then did she realize that the brothers' purpose of coming here was not simple.
But she didn't say anything.
Anyway, she has no intention of falling in love.
By the way, she can also get rid of those colleagues who are interested in her. She is also distressed by the attentions of those male colleagues every day.
Some things cannot be said too clearly. After all, the other party hasn't said anything, and it would be too presumptuous for you to express your opinion first.
Jiang Mengxue and Gu Qingbei don't want their daughter to fall in love and get married too early. It is not a good thing for women to get married too early. Jiang Mengxue herself is a medical student and she is very knowledgeable about obstetrics and gynecology.
But who would have thought that Gu Cheng'an was almost thirty years old, still single, and completely immersed in his work.
Some elders wanted to introduce her to someone, but she didn't have time to meet them.
Jiang Mengxue felt it necessary to have a good talk with her daughter, as women only have a period of choice of about ten years.
Unlike men, there is no need to worry even when they are in their fifties or sixties, after all, they are not required to have children.
Gu Chengan had never thought about this matter. All she did every day was work, and her colleagues only interacted with each other because of work, so it was naturally impossible for them to develop a good impression of each other.
But she has never thought about not getting married. Although her parents are often separated due to work, their relationship has never been affected and they are still as close as ever when they meet.
So her ideal state of marriage is the same as that of her parents.
Gu Chengan drove here, and when they went back, Wan Zhengxi drove and she sat in the passenger seat.
In this era, cars are already very common. Although they are not cheap, the Gu family has a Gu Anjin, and everyone in the family owns a car and a mobile phone.
A single mobile phone costs tens of thousands of dollars.
In this day and age, it is rare to find a family with an income of tens of thousands, let alone ten thousand yuan.
For an ordinary person like me, my salary is only a few dozen yuan, so more than a hundred yuan is considered a high salary.
But the first group of people who did business did make money, and many of them were reported in the newspapers.
But only a few people can afford a mobile phone worth tens of thousands of yuan or a car.
"Old Four's business has been pretty good in recent years. He bought phones for me and my eldest brother, but we can't use them since we're in the army all day, so we have to keep them in the dormitory."
The three elderly people in the back seat also talked about their children.
"You guys, I'm not pushing you, but he's already thirty years old. He can't be like his dad who waited until he was in his thirties to find a partner.
"I've been exposed to the wind and sun in the army all day. If I don't find a partner by the time I'm 30, I'll be single forever."
Wang Peishu didn't dare to urge Wan Zhengxi, so he could only call Wan Anguo every day.
How can a father be like this if he doesn't care about his son's lifelong affairs?
"Stop talking about it. Look at these people in our family. Which one is worry-free? I thought An Jin would get married soon, but who knew it would be broken off right away. Ren Leng Yu is already married, but he's still single."
Li Cuiying is already 90 years old. Although she is in good health at the moment, it is hard to say how many years she can live at such an old age.
These are my own children who I raised. How can I feel at ease if I don’t see them start their own families and careers?
