"Dad, my idea is to go in the next couple of days if possible, but what about Mom's place..."
"I've entrusted your mother to you. I'll ask someone to buy you sleeper tickets tomorrow."
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Silly girl, hurry up and come in, it's about to start."
Inside the auditorium, their seats were at the front; Li Chu had asked Professor Ran for those seats.
Their family of four sat right next to them.
Ran Yezi's kidney disease, well, it's been managed quite well over the past two years. Her weekly enemas have been reduced to once a month.
She has already started working, and like her older sister Qiuye, she is a teacher at the No. 1 Primary School.
She's also dating a teacher at her school, and they're at the point of discussing marriage. I heard they'll get married after the Chinese New Year this year.
As for Qiuye, she has become a major problem. She will soon be forty years old this year, so you can imagine how difficult it is to find her.
Men her age are either divorced or widowed, or of course, unmarried, but one can imagine what their family circumstances must be like if they are still single at this age.
Furthermore, given that person still exists in her heart, how could she possibly accept someone else?
Professor Ran and his wife had absolutely no way to deal with their eldest daughter.
Moreover, Professor Ran knew what his daughter's inner conflict was, but he couldn't say it.
If it were someone else trying to provoke his daughter, he could go and cause trouble for that person. The key issue is that it's his daughter who's the one doing all the work, so what can he say?
I could only keep it all bottled up inside.
"Where have you two been? Why did it take you so long to come in?"
Ding Qiunan sat in her seat and stared at the door for a long time before she saw the father and daughter arrive late. She couldn't help but complain.
"It's nothing. I chatted with my daughter at the door for a while. I'll tell you when I get home tonight."
"Hmm? Something's up!" Ding Qiunan glanced suspiciously at her husband, then looked at Wen Hui, who was sitting with Wen Xuan.
She didn't press him further. Since he had already said he would tell her when he got back, she decided to wait until they returned that evening.
After Li Chu sat down, he first greeted Professor Ran and his family on the other side, and then chatted quietly with Wang Jun.
"Xiao Chu, thank you so much for what happened to my wife this time!"
"Get the hell out of here. I'm helping my mother-in-law; it's not your place to thank me."
Holy crap, what you said makes so much sense, I don't even know what to say.
Wang Jun rolled his eyes, both amused and exasperated.
"Hey, Junzi, how's it feeling to be a military commander at the grassroots level?"
"It's not bad, but there's a lot to worry about."
"Isn't that obvious? The entire regiment of over a thousand people is watching you. How can they not worry?"
"Work hard, the downsizing will become increasingly significant in the coming years, and we should strive to reach another level in the next year or two."
Wang Jun turned his head sharply to look at him, his expression somewhat surprised and uncertain.
Uncle Wang didn't tell his three sons many things, and he basically didn't offer them any direct help.
Therefore, Wang Jun was not clear about many things.
Li Chu raised his hand and patted his leg: "Do you want to stay in the army forever, or are you planning to transfer back to civilian life?"
This question truly stumped Wang Jun. He had never considered this question before, and now, suddenly asked it like this, he didn't know how to answer.
"Go back and think it over carefully, and discuss it with Qiaoyun as well. Give me an answer as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about Uncle Wang. I'll talk to him no matter what."
Wang Jun nodded hesitantly: "Okay, I'll think about it when I get back."
He said that, but throughout the entire show, it was obvious that his mind wasn't on it. Only when Wang Yueyue came out did he perk up and start watching attentively.
Wang Yueyue's solo performance was a highlight of the entire evening, and the students in the audience even joined in a large chorus.
With her unique voice, she perfectly portrayed a playful and adorable girl, giving her a distinct flavor compared to the original singer.
At the end, the applause was noticeably louder than for the other performances, and many male students even whistled.
bidige.
"Qiaoyun, Yueyue really inherited your talent; she sings beautifully."
"Hey, no matter how good she is, she was still born to your family."
"What do you mean by 'born for my family'? Isn't Wenxuan your son too? You used your daughter to bring back a son, you've made a huge profit, haven't you?"
"Oh dear, Ding Qiunan, you're still showing off to me, aren't you? How many times a year do they even come back to my place?" Li Qiaoyun reached out and pinched her mother-in-law's thigh. Luckily, it was winter and everyone was wearing thick clothes, so she didn't feel anything from the pinch. If it were summer, Ding Qiunan would probably have screamed by now.
"Just say it, why did you have to resort to violence?"
"Luckily we're outside. If we were at home, I'd scratch you to death," Li Qiaoyun said fiercely to Ding Qiunan.
"Come on, if we're at home, it's hard to say who'll be scratching whom."
"Uh..." Li Qiaoyun then realized that her mother-in-law was much stronger than her. If they were really at home, she would be the one being bullied.
"Hehe..." She gave Ding Qiunan an awkward smile, then turned her head to the side.
"Hmph, you little brat! I can't handle you."
The party ended at 10 p.m.
Li Wenhui accompanied Wang Yueyue up to the dormitory building and helped her carry down the things she needed to take home.
A boy who had been rejected by Wang Yueyue before was planning to confess his feelings again today. Just as he got downstairs, he saw Wang Yueyue get out of a car and pull a tall girl into the dormitory building.
Immediately after, a tall boy got out of another jeep and stood by the car waiting. The two cars were clearly together.
The male classmates who had come with that boy, intending to watch the commotion, all stopped in their tracks, too afraid to go any further.
The boy was now in a bit of a dilemma.
Just from these two cars, one can tell that Wang Yueyue's family background is extraordinary. He had only heard that a car often came to pick her up, but he had never seen it with his own eyes and thought it was just hearsay.
I witnessed it with my own eyes today. If he continues to act recklessly, he'll really be a fool.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Wang Yueyue and the girl who had gone upstairs with him earlier come down again, carrying a lot of bags and packages. It seemed they were going home tonight.
The boy who had just gotten out of the jeep went up to her, took the bag from her hand, and said something. He couldn't hear what he was saying because he was too far away, but he could see the bright smile on Wang Yueyue's face.
