Lu Yiming didn't expect that there would be such a thing as pie falling from the sky. When his mother was in the United States, she asked him to buy a second-hand car. Now his aunt actually agreed to buy him a new car. Is she crazy?
"Mom, didn't you tell me in the United States that I should get a driver's license so I could buy a used car?"
"You still have to study for a master's degree and a doctorate at school, so you'll have to stay there for at least three or four years."
"Well, not only do I plan to set up a lab there with my classmates, I also plan to apply for a job in the financial district after graduation. If I really get a job there, I might stay there for six or seven years or more."
Although he is patriotic and will definitely come back in the future, he still wants to stay abroad for a few more years, start a family and build a career before he turns 30, and then return to China to develop.
However, this is just his temporary thought. Maybe one day his true love will appear, and he may return home early for her.
Su Yan originally wanted her son to return home early to help her, but later she thought better of it, as her son's future was more important.
Besides, she is still capable now, so she should work more. When she is old and can no longer work, she can retire and hand over the family property to them.
Maybe her son will do better than her in his own business. Then who will she hand over her listed company to?
As long as she doesn't get unlucky in the future, she will definitely be able to take her company public.
"Mom, I forgot to ask you, you said you would take my two brothers to Hong Kong City, why didn't you take my sister with you."
"Your sister is going to train with your uncle during winter break?"
"Training? Could it be that my uncle can also dance ballet?"
Su Yan was at the point of laughing and crying. How could her brother-in-law dance ballet? If her daughter hadn't been too tall, which would affect the image of the entire ballet troupe, the teacher wouldn't have advised her to change her career in the future.
"Your sister is growing really fast today. She's probably grown another two or three centimeters in the past two months."
"How tall is she now?"
"I haven't measured myself for a long time. Before I went to Hong Kong City, I measured myself and was 1.73 meters tall. Now I'm probably 1.75 meters tall."
"It's really not suitable for dancing now. Being too tall and big for ballet will affect your appearance."
"Your sister is actually a very good dancer and has quite a talent, but it's a pity that she grows too fast."
"Mom, you can take your sister to the hospital for a check-up."
"No, your sister's salary won't increase much next year."
Her daughter got her period today, and she will be sixteen next year. There shouldn't be much increase in her weight. If it increases again, she probably won't even be able to pass the pilot exam.
"Mom, my sister is going to visit my uncle during the winter break. Does she want to be a pilot?"
"Yeah, she wants to fly a fighter jet."
"That's a good idea, but I heard that for pilot recruitment, female pilots are required to be between 1.60 and 1.75 meters tall.
If my sister continues to grow up, she probably won’t even be qualified to take the pilot exam.”
Su Yan was also worried. It would be a big blow to her daughter if she couldn't continue to dance ballet because of her height, but it would be a big blow if she couldn't even pass the pilot physical examination.
Su Yan was originally very happy when her eldest son came back, but now she knows that if her daughter grows any taller, she may not even be able to be a pilot. What a blow this is to her!
Su Yan was very worried about Lu Yiru. She wanted her to go to Hongcheng to get the inhibitor to control her height, but she was also worried that the medicine would damage her body. She felt a headache when she thought about these things, and she didn't know what to do now.
So she used the key to open the telephone box and called Lu Yu, but the person who answered the phone was the office secretary.
Su Yan instructed the secretariat to ask Lu Yu to find time to call her back. She had always thought that the maximum height of female pilots was about 1.8 meters. After all, there was a requirement in later generations that the height of female pilots could not exceed 1.85 meters.
I didn’t expect that the requirement in this era was that female pilots could not be taller than 1.75 meters.
Su Yan stood in front of the phone and waited for a few minutes, and soon the phone rang.
"Hello, is this my sister-in-law?"
"Xiaoyu, it's me."
"Sister-in-law, what can I do for you? Rourou is about to go on vacation, isn't she the one you're here for?"
"I want to inform you today that Yiming has returned from abroad. Our new hot pot restaurant has also opened early. I would like to invite you to have hot pot."
"Yiming is back. Didn't Big Brother say he would continue his postgraduate studies?"
"Well, after the Lunar New Year, he will go back to study. I came to you today mainly to discuss Rourou's problem."
"What happened to Rourou?"
"Xiaoyu, you know Rourou had to give up ballet because of her height. Do you know how tall she is now? She's probably 1.75 meters tall."
"Sixty-five feet tall won't affect her chances of becoming a pilot, right?"
"I'm worried that she'll continue to grow taller."
"Sister-in-law, Rourou has good dancing skills and athletic talent, making her a good candidate for a pilot. As long as her height doesn't exceed 1.78 meters during the physical examination, we can secure her.
Now, as long as she studies hard and gets good grades, her name will be added to the roster for the special recruitment of female pilots next May."
Su Yan felt a little relieved after hearing what Lu Yu said. No one can predict what the future will be like, but she just hopes that her daughter's height will not exceed 1.78 meters in May next year.
Her daughter will be sixteen next year and has already started menstruating. She will probably grow very slowly from now on, but she still wants to tell Lu Yu about the worst-case scenario.
"Xiao Yu, what if... what if Yanyan's height happens to be over 1.78 meters during the physical examination?"
"If I can't be a pilot, I can do something else. When Rourou has winter vacation, I'll come pick her up and talk to her then."
"Well, if you guys have time this weekend, come over and I'll take you to eat hot pot."
"Okay, we'll be there on time."
The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone. After hanging up, Su Yan told Lu Yiming what Lu Yu had said.
Lu Yiming comforted her, "Mom, don't worry too much about my sister. Even if she can't be a pilot, she can still do something else. Doesn't she want to be a soldier? I can persuade her to become a female marine. Maybe she can even fly a warship in the future."
"My dear little ancestor, please don't give me random orders. I don't think Rourou can be a female pilot. She must want to be a ground crew member or an aircraft mechanic."
Su Yan was a little upset and decided to go sit in the greenhouse and play the piano to calm her mind. So she said to Lu Yiming, "Yiming, go to the greenhouse and make tea. I'll practice the piano."
"Okay, Mom, I want to go see my grandparents first and then my grandparents tomorrow."
"Your grandma is helping us run the clothing store, your grandpa is helping us raise turtles back home, and your grandparents are raising chickens back home."
Lu Yiming was very surprised that his grandfather would return to his hometown to help his mother raise soft-shelled turtles after retirement.
"Mom, is Grandpa really helping us raise turtles?"
