The meal was a great success, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves. Huo Junshan and Ning Wenhao were considered the younger generation.
The two of them were very diligent at the dinner table, serving tea and water from time to time.
Huo Junshan didn't drink, but Yun Qinzhi was coaxed by the old men into drinking a few cups and that was it.
Huo Junshan learned that apart from Elder Ning and Elder Mo, none of the others had children.
He dedicated his entire life to the country.
Of the three—Old Liu, Old Qi, and Old Xiao—only Old Liu and his wife are still alive.
But his only child also died in the war.
Only two elderly people depended on each other for survival.
Mr. Qi and Mr. Xiao never married or had children in their entire lives.
He dedicated his life to research and contributing to his country.
The youngest of them, Mr. Ning, is over 60 years old.
Apart from his grandson Ning Wenhao, his sons and daughters have all passed away.
The son was lost in the war, and the daughter, an army medic, also lost her life in the artillery fire.
Now only Ning Wenhao, the grandson, remains.
Huo Junshan couldn't help but sigh.
They dedicated their entire lives to serving their country.
Now, they should be at retirement age, but they are still fighting on the front lines.
I have to work overtime every day, doing experiments, and I have to personally supervise everything!
Their country desperately needs talent like this!
Only now does Huo Junshan understand why Yun Qinzhi was so insistent on sending him abroad to study.
I also understood what Ningning meant when she said that this generation was the generation that sacrificed itself.
Every industry is in dire need of rebuilding and needs talented people like this.
Only then can they shoulder the heavy responsibility.
He clenched his fist, determined to return home after completing his studies abroad.
He was too narrow-minded before, only thinking about his own little family.
Compared to now, their little family is so much happier!
This was achieved through the selfless dedication of countless predecessors.
As a Chinese person, he should also have this kind of spirit.
After the meal, they started talking about Ning Wenhao and Huo Junshan's studies.
They all knew that Huo Junshan had been recommended for admission to university.
The opportunity to study abroad was originally applied for by them.
They were originally quite dissatisfied with Yun Qinzhi's son-in-law being recommended for admission.
But after seeing the person today, their dissatisfaction disappeared.
In particular, when several elderly people asked him a few questions, Huo Junshan was able to answer them fluently.
Old Ning laughed heartily and patted his grandson on the shoulder: "Wenhao, you didn't lose out at all by losing to him!"
Originally, Elder Ning recommended his own grandson.
But now that there are such outstanding examples before him, he feels that his grandson's skills are not up to par.
Ning Wenhao only found out today that Brother Huo was actually admitted to university through a special admission program.
He nodded a little shyly: "I will try my best to get this spot, so that I can look after each other when I go to study with Brother Huo."
Yun Qinzhi laughed and said, "Wenhao is a good kid, he has talent. Let Xiao Huo give you some extra help recently, and you should be ready for the competition."
With Yun Qinzhi saying this, Elder Ning was relieved.
"Xiaoyun, I'm entrusting my grandson to you now. You must educate him well."
Yun Qinzhi nodded: "Elder Ning, Wenhao is a smart kid, there's not much of a problem with him."
Huo Junshan poured tea for the old men.
Several of the older men laughed and said, "Little Huo, from now on you can just call us grandpa, just like Wenhao did. No need to be so polite."
"When the opportunity arises, I'll have your dad take you to visit me."
Huo Junshan immediately shouted, "Okay, Grandpa Mo! Just don't look down on me then."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After chatting for about an hour, Yun Qinzhi was about to take him back.
Throughout the journey, Yun Qinzhi chuckled, "Little Huo, I never knew you could be so good at sweet-talking people!"
Huo Junshan scratched his head: "Dad, introduce me to them."
"Isn't it just so that I can get along with them?"
"Of course I'll do my best."
Yun Qin patted him on the shoulder: "Good! Very good!"
After Huo Junshan returned, he did not go to their courtyard.
They went directly to the courtyard where Yun Qinzhi and the others were staying.
He brought back all the things his wife had moved there, one by one.
Yun Ningyan was playing with the two children in the yard; they had just finished dinner.
Everyone was sitting in the courtyard.
The two children are walking very steadily now, and they haven't been close to their parents for a few days.
Yun Ningyan was sitting in the courtyard, hugging this person and that person.
Xi Xi and Xiao Yun Chuan were about to speak.
She kept calling "Mommy, Mommy" over and over.
Suddenly, Xixi pointed to the door and shouted, "Daddy~"
Yun Ningyan looked over and saw that Huo Junshan had returned.
He entered the courtyard but went straight to his parents' courtyard.
Yun Ningyan frowned. Did they not see her here and went inside to look for her?
Forget about him, he'll come over if he can't find me soon.
Huo Junshan went directly to the room where Yun Ningyan used to live and took all of Yun Ningyan's belongings back with him.
Yun Ningyan: ......
She hadn't even mentioned moving in, so how come she's already brought all her things back!
"Huo Junshan, what are you doing?"
He smiled and said, "I'll move your things back here. You don't need to stay there anymore. Both kids want to sleep with you."
Yun Ningyan: Fine! I'll sleep here for the sake of the child!
Huo Junshan excitedly arranged everything and hung up all the clothes.
The blankets were folded neatly.
Only then did he leave the house.
