Episode 533: Enthusiastic
Fu Shanzhan smiled and said, "Dad, this is a family dinner, let's not talk about work for now."
Ji Qingyuan: "Exactly. You keep bringing up work during dinner. It really spoils the fun."
She pinched Fu Shanzhan's thigh under the table and warned him to shut up - didn't he know what Fu Shanzhan's ability was at work? Even their own parents despised him, so Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan would definitely despise him even more after hearing this.
Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan are both teachers, and Qiao Yanzhou is also a university professor. Teachers like young people who are motivated and capable the most. Fu Shanzhan just wants to get by all day long, and he definitely does not meet their standards for a son-in-law. Although they did not say it explicitly, Ji Qingyuan could see it from the few times they had interacted with each other before.
She also discussed this issue with Fu Qingyun in private. Fu Qingyun did not think that Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan's certain views on Fu Shanzhan could change the relationship between the two younger generations. The two of them had already decided on each other. He couldn't stop them from getting married at the beginning, so it would be even more impossible for others to do it.
As for Fu Shanzhan's work ability and ambition, these are not the main problems. Although as a father he also hopes that Fu Shanzhan can improve himself and join the company to help him solve problems, even if he really can't achieve any results, it doesn't matter. The dividends from his shares are enough to support him until the next life, and their small family will not have any financial pressure.
Based on this point alone, Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan could not have any obvious dissatisfaction with Fu Shanzhan.
Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun have a big disagreement on this matter, but Fu Qingyun can't argue with Ji Qingyuan, so he deliberately avoids this topic. They are an old couple, and it is not worth it to have a conflict over such a thing.
After Ji Qingyuan warned Fu Qingyun, she smiled and smoothed things over: "Whether I work or not is secondary. The most important thing is that my two children live a comfortable life."
Xu Yan nodded, "Mrs. Fu is right."
Ji Qingyuan: "My dear, you are too polite. Just call me by my name."
Xu Yan responded, but still couldn't call out the name. She only said, "Thank you, in-laws."
Fu Qingyun picked up the red wine beside him, stood up and walked to Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan and poured wine for them respectively.
"I'm good at fighting but not very competitive. Please bear with me in the future." Fu Qingyun took the initiative to toast.
His behavior gave enough face to Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan. The couple were not ungrateful people, so they also raised their glasses and clinked glasses with each other.
Qiao Yanzhou said, "I'd like to ask President Fu and Mrs. Fu to take good care of Xiaoxue. She's young, so please don't be too harsh on her if she doesn't do her job well."
Qiao Yanzhou's words were very polite and courteous, but Fu Qingyun and Ji Qingyuan both understood what he meant.
What he meant was that Qiao Yunxue was spoiled by them at home. Although they could not match the background of the Fu family, they would not let their daughter suffer any grievances because of this.
Fu Qingyun nodded and said, "Professor Qiao, don't worry. The two young people usually live on their own and I won't interfere."
After drinking the wine, everyone took their seats and the meal officially began.
Fu Shanzhan sat next to Qiao Yunxue, habitually picking up food for her, peeling shrimps, picking out fish bones, and removing bones. His movements were skillful and he did everything in one go.
Qiao Yunxue almost never picked up food for herself. Fu Shanzhan prepared it for her and she ate directly from the plate.
This was how the two of them interacted in their daily lives, so no one noticed anything wrong. Instead, the four elders kept staring at them with different expressions.
Ji Qingyuan was very pleased to see that Fu Shanzhan and Qiao Yunxue had a good relationship. She knew her own child best. Fu Shanzhan was not a gentle and considerate person, and was even a little unromantic. He had been thinking about making achievements in the army, and his mind was full of fighting and killing. It was only after he met Qiao Yunxue that he changed little by little.
The once clumsy and silly boy has turned into a good husband who is considerate to his wife. Although some of his ideas are still immature, his actions have become much more mature. His sense of responsibility is much stronger than that of his peers, and he is not unfaithful.
Of course, Qiao Yunxue was also very good to him. In order to be with him, she did not go abroad for graduate studies. This time, she also gave up the opportunity to go to school to get married. This is a matter related to her future. If she didn't really like him, how could she not go so easily?
"No future." Ji Qingyuan heard Fu Qingyun muttering beside her.
Fu Qingyun not only lowered his voice, but also barely moved his mouth, but Ji Qingyuan still heard what he said thanks to the tacit understanding between husband and wife over the years, and then pinched his thigh under the table.
After receiving Ji Qingyuan's warning, Fu Qingyun shook his head helplessly.
Overall, the atmosphere of the meal was pretty good.
Although both parents were dissatisfied with the marriage, they were all decent people and did not embarrass the two younger generations, and ended the meal happily.
When they parted ways, Ji Qingyuan made a special visit to invite them: "My birthday is in a few days, and I've reserved VIP seats for you two. A warm welcome."
"Mrs. Fu is thoughtful," Qiao Yanzhou nodded, "We will definitely be there on time."
Ji Qingyuan: "See you then. Be careful on your way back."
She smiled and exchanged pleasantries, then said to Fu Shanzhan, "Drive carefully."
Fu Shanzhan: "Don't worry."
After saying that, he hugged Qiao Yunxue and left. The two of them cuddled together as if no one was around, and were as sweet as honey.
A minute later, Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun also got into the car.
The couple sat in the back seat and the driver quickly started the car.
Fu Qingyun had a serious expression since he got in the car. Ji Qingyuan stared at him for a while and asked curiously, "Why are you so stern? Who do you have a problem with?"
Fu Qingyun rubbed his brow and said, "How long do you think they can keep doing this?"
Ji Qingyuan: "Why are you so worried? Aren't the two children fine?"
Fu Qingyun: "We are young now and are too passionate about our feelings. Problems will arise in two years."
He paused, "Don't you see that the Qiao family couple don't think highly of them either?"
Talking about this, Ji Qingyuan's expression became quite serious. "What can we do? Xiaoxue didn't even go to graduate school to get married. Anyone's parents would have objections."
Fu Qingyun: "That's why I said they were so impulsive and didn't consider the future at all."
"When we have a fight, one of us will say I changed my career for you, and the other will say I gave up studying for you. In the end, it's all a debt."
Ji Qingyuan: "Okay, stop worrying about it. They have their own way of getting along."
She thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoxue is still young. Maybe she has plans to continue her studies. I'll ask her later."
Fu Qingyun nodded and said, "You can talk to her."
It would be better for Ji Qingyuan to come forward than him in this matter - Qiao Yunxue was afraid of him, and if he asked, it would seem like he was forcing her. In fact, Fu Qingyun didn't mean that.
Although he couldn't say that he admired his daughter-in-law Qiao Yunxue, he didn't dislike her either. He just felt that it was a pity for her to give up the opportunity to study at such a young age. He was afraid that she would regret it in the future, and he was also afraid that the two of them would have a big conflict because of this matter.
So, while there is still room for remedy, try to save it first.
