Chapter 183 Darling
Just look at how Ruan Chuxia can teach a child who is not her biological child so well.
She felt that the girl was down-to-earth and sincere.
She no longer cared about her old man's complicated calculations, and took Ruan Chuxia's hand and walked towards the sofa.
As they walked, they introduced each other: "This is your grandfather, this is your father, and this is your mother."
Every time Ding Chuanzhen mentioned a family member's name, Ruan Chuxia smiled and nodded, gently greeting them.
After introducing all the relatives, she took Xiaojun's hand and slowly walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Xiao Zhiyu next to her followed closely and sat down next to her.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little quieter.
Ruan Chuxia, who was sitting on the sofa, leaned over, got close to Xiaojun's ear, and whispered a few words to him gently.
Before anyone could react, the little guy had already turned around, smiled sweetly at Xiao Jianjun, who was standing beside him with a serious expression, and called out in a childish voice, "Hello, Grandpa!"
The people present couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Xiao Jianjun, who usually has a cold face and rarely smiles.
After hearing this call, a rare smile appeared on his face.
Xiaojun couldn't help laughing.
He clapped his hands and shouted excitedly: "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"
The four words "grandpa and grandma" came out so naturally.
Guo Huaqin's eyes suddenly became moist and she almost shed tears.
At this moment, all those doubts about Ruan Chuxia, such as whether she was from the countryside and whether she was qualified to be his daughter-in-law...
All of them were thrown out of my mind.
"Oh, Xiaojun... You're right, let's call you Xiaojun, right? Come on, come closer, let grandma take a good look at what you look like!"
Guo Huaqin couldn't hold back any longer. She lowered her head in excitement and reached out to gently stroke the cute little grandson in front of her.
Without Ruan Chuxia saying anything, the little guy jumped and ran towards the living room.
As he ran, he stretched out his hands, his eyes shining.
As soon as Guo Huaqin saw her grandson running towards her, she immediately opened her arms and almost subconsciously took him into her arms.
She hugged the child and an extremely happy smile appeared on her face.
"My dear, you are my sweetheart, my most precious little ancestor!"
Her tone was full of fondness.
Xiao Zhenwu, who was standing by, watched this scene with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
He also loves this well-behaved child very much.
However, as the head of the family, he has good self-control.
Although his heart had already flown away, he still tried hard to suppress the inner turmoil on his face.
After a moment, he turned his head and his eyes fell on Ruan Chuxia who had been standing next to him.
"Xiao Ruan," he greeted with a smile, "I heard Zhiyu told us on the phone that you will be staying in Beijing for more than half a year this time?"
When he spoke, he deliberately slowed down his speech.
Ruan Chuxia listened, nodded, and answered seriously.
"Yes, uncle, we will be living in the capital for about half a year."
"Wasn't that period of time too long? Zhiyu's work is important. Isn't it okay to be away from his post for so long?"
Then she paused and added.
"Although the family is of course happy to see you back, but you also know that Zhiyu is the head of the village. Will being away for a long time affect his work arrangements?"
Ruan Chuxia was not surprised by his wife's question.
"Don't worry, Auntie. It won't affect my work. This was originally a plan arranged by the higher authorities. Zhiyu was selected to participate in a six-month study and exchange program. It's an official assignment."
As he spoke, Xiao Jianjun slowly put down the teacup in his hand.
"Oh? A learning exchange? Could it be a cadre training exchange activity?"
After this question was asked, the room suddenly became quieter.
Everyone stopped and looked at Ruan Chuxia.
After all, such large-scale exchange programs have received increasing attention in recent years.
The candidates involved also tend to have higher potential for development.
Xiao Zhiyu looked calm, without any ripples in his eyes, and just responded softly.
"Um."
Seeing this, Xiao Zhenwu couldn't help but show a look of surprise, raised his hand and patted Xiao Zhiyu's shoulder heavily.
"You're amazing! You actually managed to get such a precious opportunity!"
He knew this all too well.
This is not just a simple study abroad mission, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It is enough to affect the future prospects and direction.
Those who are selected either have a strong background or outstanding abilities.
And now, this spot actually fell on Xiao Zhiyu.
How could he not be pleased as his elder and colleague?
Anyone who can go out for further studies will have a bright future after returning.
Old Master Xiao sat in the main seat, holding a cup of tea and listening to the entire conversation.
Although he remained calm on the surface, he was happy in his heart.
He nodded lightly, and even a hint of smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Well, you are worthy of being my grandson, Xiao Jianjun."
Even if he did not develop in the capital, Zhiyu could still rely on his own abilities to get opportunities that others would fight hard for.
How can the descendants of the Xiao family be compared with ordinary people?
Thinking of this, his originally gentle eyes suddenly darkened.
When he looked at the other woman sitting below him, his expression became a little unnatural.
In Mr. Xiao's opinion, his smart and sensible grandson should have a more decent mother.
But I didn't expect that I would end up with a daughter-in-law from the countryside.
It's not impossible for a country girl to accept it.
After all, people now emphasize free marriage, and social status is no longer so strict.
As long as you have good character and a virtuous temperament, that's enough.
But……
I heard he never even went to school!
This was something the Xiao family found difficult to accept.
Their Xiao family is considered a well-known family in the capital.
If you tell others that you want to marry an illiterate daughter-in-law, wouldn't you be laughed at?
The more I thought about it, the more I disliked it, and my gaze became increasingly cold.
The old man finally couldn't help but frown slightly and put down the teacup.
"Zhiyu is going to study abroad this time. How do you plan to arrange things at home?"
He was reminding me intentionally or unintentionally.
The implication was very clear. He was subtly suggesting that Ruan Chuxia think carefully about how to manage her own backyard.
In particular, we should focus on training our daughter-in-law.
Otherwise, he would know nothing and do nothing all day long, which would only bring discredit to the Xiao family.
Ruan Chuxia pursed her lips and smiled gently, her eyes slightly curved, revealing a hint of confidence.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I will also go to Beijing Medical University for further studies after the New Year."
"Well... Well, if you were staying home, I was just thinking of chatting with you... Huh? What? Jingcheng Medical University? Studying?"
Xiao Jianjun was originally still thinking about how to tell his granddaughter-in-law what was really in his heart.
But when I heard these two keywords, I was stunned.
The old man suddenly looked up and widened his eyes.
What is Capital Medical University?
That is the top medical institution in the country!
