The front pages of all the major newspapers that day were all filled with news about Gu Qingcheng, Wei Jingxi and other students returning from studying abroad.
This is no longer just a major event in the academic and educational circles, nor is it simply due to the influence of Mr. Gu and Principal Wei, but simply because of a "Ms. Gu".
Catching a glimpse of some leaders and warlord representatives standing in the crowd, Father Gu and Principal Wei both sighed with emotion:
"Does this count as the disciple surpassing the master?"
For a long time, when people mentioned the young couple Gu Wanqing and Wei Jingxi, the first thing they would say was:
"This is Gu Wenhao's daughter! This is Principal Wei's eldest son!"
Now, I guess they only have one identity——
"Ms. Gu! Ms. Gu's husband."
Realizing this, Father Gu felt proud but also a little worried.
He is a traditional feudal patriarch who believes in and advocates "men work outside and women work inside".
It's a good thing that my daughter has such a great reputation, but there are also hidden dangers.
"Jingxi, will he, will he care?"
Not to mention the current era of transition from the old to the new, even a hundred years from now, people will be accustomed to the combination of "strong men and weak women".
If a woman is too strong or too bright, her husband may easily become psychologically unbalanced, and then...
The Gu family and the Wei family are old friends, and Wei Jingxi is a good boy who grew up under his care.
Gu's father had long since decided that he was his son-in-law, and he really didn't want to see the young couple become strangers or even enemies.
"...Old Wei, Wanqing has only achieved some success because of money."
"Jingxi is still more reliable. He is talented and well-educated. He will definitely be able to inherit your legacy."
After enduring it again and again, Father Gu still stood beside Principal Wei and spoke in a low voice.
Principal Wei: ...
This old guy, does he really think I'm a superficial person?
He also looked down on Jingxi.
However, Principal Wei also knew that Mr. Gu had good intentions and was worried about the young couple.
"Jingxi is of course very outstanding, otherwise, he wouldn't have such an outstanding wife like Wanqing."
As one of the first senior people to open his eyes to the world, Principal Wei is not only well-versed in both Chinese and Western culture, but also has open and advanced ideas.
Although he has not yet reached the level of women's liberation, he will not belittle women.
In his opinion, his daughter-in-law is excellent, which is itself proof of his son's excellence.
Is it necessary for him to marry a daughter-in-law who is inferior to his son in appearance, family background and talent just for the sake of his ridiculous self-esteem?
Must one reduce his wife to the dust in order to prove his excellence as a husband?
Principal Wei believes in his son, and both he and his son are rational-thinking physicists - Gu Wanqing's excellence is a fact, and they recognize and respect the fact!
After hearing what Principal Wei said, Father Gu felt relieved.
At least, my daughter's father-in-law is an open-minded and reasonable man.
Next, it depends on the attitude of the son-in-law.
Wei Jingxi: ...
What attitude can I have? Of course my heart and eyes are filled with only my fiancée.
As for what it means that women are stronger and men are weaker?
No, Wei Jingxi doesn't think he is not good enough.
He and Wanqing just have their own strengths.
He will not feel inferior or jealous, he will only love her wholeheartedly.
Furthermore, in addition to love, Wei Jingxi also had the great ambition of revitalizing China and saving the country through science.
His world is big and he has a lot to do.
Not only will his wife not be a burden to him, but she will always help him.
...There are too many reasons why Wei Jingxi would not have any inexplicable thoughts.
…
After leaving the dock, we went to Tianjin first.
In a big hotel in Tianjin, the Gu and Wei families held a grand welcoming banquet.
Originally, Father Gu and Principal Wei did not intend to be so ostentatious, but the government, the military, etc. had sent representatives, and celebrities from the literary and educational circles in Beijing and Tianjin had also gathered here. Even if it was just to express their gratitude, they had to entertain them properly.
However, after the noise, the politicians and celebrities took their positions one after another, and only the relatives and close friends of the Gu and Wei families were left at the big round table.
Father Gu looked at Principal Wei, and Principal Wei nodded slightly.
So, Father Gu asked, "Jingxi, Wanqing, do you have any plans after returning home?"
Wei Jingxi quickly put down his chopsticks, sat up straight, glanced at Gu Qingcheng, and then replied respectfully: "Father-in-law! Father! I have discussed it with Wanqing."
"I will continue to set up the laboratory, and Wanqing will prepare to start the school."
Gu Qingcheng also sat up straight and waited for Wei Jingxi to finish speaking, then she nodded slightly.
It seems that this is really the decision of the young couple.
Father Gu and Principal Wei exchanged glances.
The two old fathers were not surprised by Wei Jingxi's decision.
Because Wei Jingxi studied physics, and Gu Wanqing helped him get a lot of equipment and materials, it was entirely possible to build a physics laboratory in the country.
However, "Gu Wanqing's" decision was somewhat unexpected to the elders.
"Open a school?"
Gu's father was a great writer and a visiting professor at several universities in Beijing.
Not to mention President Wei, he is the president of a university himself.
Both families are engaged in education, and the daughter (daughter-in-law) also runs a school, which can definitely be considered as "inheritance".
only--
"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. It's better to just become a teacher than to start your own school from scratch."
"You studied architecture and got a diploma in finance. I heard that you also studied physics with Jingxi?"
