"Who? Uncle Lin? You mean Yuanyuan's boyfriend is Uncle Lin's grandson?" Ding Qiunan asked in surprise.
"Yes, Uncle Lin called me over this afternoon to talk to him."
"The capital city of Beijing is really small!"
"Sister, brother-in-law, please stop asking Yuanyuan. Let her think it through herself. She's over twenty now and has to take responsibility for her own life. All we can do is guide her."
Wang Ziwen and Li Qin exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
They have great faith in their younger brother when it comes to disciplining their children and planning for their future. Just look at Wenhui and Wenxuan; everyone praises them from childhood to adulthood. They are the quintessential "other people's children."
"By the way, Xiao Chu, it seems the house next door is all cleaned up. Have you seen it?"
"No need to look, they'll come to me when they're better."
That's right, Li Chu also bought the house next door, the Ran family's house. After it was cleaned up, he brought Ding's parents over to live here, so it would be easier for them to take care of them in the future.
Ran Qiuye's decision to sell the house was a last resort, but fortunately it wasn't in vain, as it saved her parents. Now, Professor Ran and her husband have returned to teaching at the university, and their school has reassigned them housing.
"Qiu Nan, when are you planning to bring your parents over?"
"No rush, let's wait until autumn."
...
Jia Dong's wife sat to the side, feeling dizzy and confused. The house where her mother-in-law and the others lived seemed to have been given to them by this uncle. The house next door was also bought by this uncle. And this big mansion now, just how much money does this uncle have?
Are doctors' salaries really that high now?
And he loves dogs so much; it seems that all the police dogs in their department were given to them by this uncle.
Her medical skills reminded her of her son.
"Uncle, when Xiaoyu grows up, can he study medicine with you?"
Her question immediately attracted the attention of several people, and Jia Dong even came over with his son in his arms.
Li Chu smiled and looked at the child in Jia Dong's arms: "No rush, let's wait until Xiao Yu is a little older and see if he's interested."
He looked at Cao Xiaojuan and said, "To be honest, I don't want the children to study medicine. Wenhui and Wenxuan's choices are their own. If you really want me to say it, I definitely won't agree. Studying medicine is too hard. You have to keep learning until you're old, and you can never be idle. Of course, if Xiaoyu has the talent in this area, I would definitely be happy to teach him."
Wang Jiadong didn't care at all. His son was still so young; why should he decide his child's future so early?
That night, in the bedroom, Ding Qiunan nestled in her husband's arms: "Li Chu, Xiao'e told me the other day that she wanted her son Yangyang to study medicine with you."
"Ha, I've become a hot commodity. Her son is already fifteen, right?"
"Yes, I should be starting high school this fall. And..."
She stopped talking at that point.
"What? Why didn't you finish your sentence? And what?"
"She also wants to become in-laws with our family."
"A marriage alliance?" Li Chu was taken aback. "Oh, you mean she's taken a liking to our Huihui?"
"Mmm," Ding Qiunan nodded, resting her chin on his chest.
"Wife, what are you thinking?"
"I don't know either. Yangyang, well, he is quite handsome, but... oh well, I don't know what to say."
Li Chu smiled and patted her hair: "If you don't know, just keep it to yourself. Yangyang knows Huihui. If he really has the ability to win my daughter's heart, he can be my son-in-law."
Ding Qiunan smiled slightly, knowing full well how much her husband cared for their daughter and how he would not easily let someone else succeed.
During the Spring Festival this year, Uncle Wang even tried to arrange a marriage for the grandson of one of his old comrades-in-arms, but he was told to refuse directly.
He said the child was still young and he wouldn't interfere.
"Honey, are you planning to keep our daughter with you forever and never let her get married?"
"What a joke, how could that be? I was just thinking I should be more cautious."
"Why didn't you take your son's marriage more seriously?"
"How can you say we're not careful? We've raised our daughter-in-law from a young age, haven't we? As for Yueyue, do you not trust her character, or are you dissatisfied with her family background?"
In fact, Ding Qiunan knew she had said the wrong thing as soon as she finished speaking.
She was completely satisfied with Wang Yueyue, and she only recognized this daughter-in-law. If Li Wenxuan ever caused any trouble in the future, she, as his mother, would definitely break his legs.
Of course, as things stand, both children have already decided that they love each other.
"Alright, I'll tell Xiao'e the truth later, and I'm sure she won't say anything."
"By the way, honey, I went to the sanatorium this morning and an old leader gave me a TV ticket. Shall we go and buy the TV this weekend?"
God's Arrival
Ding Qiunan sat up with a "whoosh".
"real?"
"Of course it's true, it's in my backpack, I just forgot to tell you."
"Oh dear, I've wanted to buy a TV for our family for a long time, but I haven't had the voucher."
"It's useless to buy it. It's just a TV channel, what's so interesting about it?"
"Hmph," Ding Qiunan snuggled back into her husband's arms, "You talk as if you've seen it."
Li Chu was about to retort when he suddenly remembered that he had never actually watched television in this life, so he shut his mouth in embarrassment.
Seeing that her husband had nothing to say, Ding Qiunan raised her eyebrows smugly.
"Li Chu, I'll say it again, don't give Jianguo money in secret anymore. I've told you so many times, but you just won't listen." Just as she was feeling smug, she remembered what her mother had said when she went back to her parents' home last week.
“Oh dear, he’s getting married soon, and expenses are really high right now, plus I haven’t given him much.”
"He's already in his mid-twenties, has a job, and can't even support a wife. He might as well not get married at all."
"The bicycle, radio, sewing machine, watch—you bought them all for him. And that house—you got it all arranged by your brother-in-law. So, who's getting married, you or him?"
"Don't be angry, honey. I just wanted to make things easier for Mom and Dad." Li Chu hugged her tightly, gently stroking her back to help her catch her breath.
“Li Chu, I know you’re thinking of Mom and Dad, but you’re just my brother-in-law. You’re doing a bit too much. When we got married, you didn’t ask anyone for help.”
As Ding Qiunan reminisced about the past few years, she felt increasingly sorry for her man.
“You’re still buying houses for my parents and renovating them, I…” She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her eyes turning red.
Li Chu smiled and patted her head: "Alright, honey, your parents are my parents too. Bringing them here is so that it will be easier to take care of them in the future."
