"Qinglan, is your third child looking for a partner?" the army commander's wife asked.
It was an event held by the military region, and many of the families of high-ranking officers participated.
The army commander's wife happened to be sitting next to Zhao Qinglan, so she asked about it.
It's because Zhao Qinglan's family of children are all too outstanding.
After Lanxin's press conference, everyone was only thinking about how much money Lanxin spent on charity, unaware of her own worth.
Unfortunately, all of Zhao Qinglan's children are either married or engaged, leaving only her third child as a potential target.
Zhao Qinglan felt ashamed. Her third child was just turning eighteen in a few days, and yet no one was eyeing him.
If the third child were still in high school, no one would dare to ask.
Once you go to university, you're considered an adult by everyone.
Zhao Qinglan is wealthy, Li Huai holds a high position, and their eldest child is already married. Zhao Qinglan, as a mother-in-law, is generous to her daughter-in-law and doesn't interfere in her life. Who wouldn't want to marry into such a family?
Not only is his family well-off, but the third child himself is also outstanding. Not only is he handsome, but he also won a world championship and was admitted to the best university ahead of schedule.
Many people still didn't dare to speak to Zhao Qinglan, but the army commander's wife thought that her niece and Sanwa were about the same age and were also studying at university in Beijing, so she had the idea of introducing them.
"Well, our three kids are still young, so we won't consider that for now," Zhao Qinglan politely declined.
"He's not young anymore, such a big young man, and he looks very energetic."
"The main problem is that the child hasn't figured things out yet. Right now, he's focused entirely on his studies. I heard from his sister that besides attending classes, he spends most of his time in some kind of laboratory at school."
"It's okay if they don't get it yet. Introduce them to each other first, make friends, and then you can get to know each other slowly."
"Why can't this person understand what I'm saying?" Zhao Qinglan sighed helplessly.
The army commander's wife had only moved to the family quarters a year ago. Before that, Li Huai was promoted, and the army commander of the military region was also changed; he was transferred from another place.
If it were someone from the previous family quarters, knowing that Zhao Qinglan wouldn't interfere in their child's marriage, they wouldn't have brought it up.
The main problem is that this army commander's wife felt that she was much older than Zhao Qinglan, so she felt that Zhao Qinglan should respect her, which was a bit pretentious.
"My third son has a bad temper. Even if I agree, he won't agree, so I'm sorry, I can't agree to this." Zhao Qinglan was too lazy to deal with it anymore.
They couldn't see eye to eye, and there was no point in exchanging more words after that.
After Zhao Qinglan left, the army commander's wife began to complain like some other military wives.
But others didn't feel comfortable agreeing, which made the army commander's wife even more depressed.
Her niece is quite well-off, but this family is really arrogant and keeps making excuses.
When she saw her husband, she couldn't help but complain a few times, but unexpectedly, her husband started criticizing her.
“You weren’t like this before. How come you’ve changed so much in just one year? You get all high and mighty just because someone flatters you. If someone is willing, they are; if they aren’t, that’s fine too. What’s there to complain about? Are you trying to force them to agree?”
"I only said a few words, why are you being so aggressive?"
"I'm not only going to yell at you today, I'm going to have a serious talk with you..."
If it weren't for a last resort, Zhao Qinglan wouldn't want to antagonize the army commander's wife.
She was worried about what to do when the two met again, but unexpectedly, the army commander's wife took the initiative to visit her.
Zhao Qinglan was afraid that the other party would bring up the past again, but the other party did not, and even chatted with her about other topics while laughing and talking.
One shouldn't hit a smiling face; if the other party is willing to change, she can naturally treat them with friendliness.
When she mentioned it to her husband, Li Huai smiled. "Commander Zhu is a sensible man, so don't worry."
Having a smart and cooperative partner makes his job much easier.
Sanwa was unaware that his mother had once again shielded him from a troublesome situation.
When he was about to start school, his alma mater wanted to invite him to give a speech to the freshmen again, but this time Sanwa declined.
One speech is enough. He hasn't achieved anything yet, nor is he so arrogant as to think he has anything to say.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai didn't interfere in their son's affairs and supported him in making his own decisions.
After the third child left by plane, the house became quiet and deserted again.
Although he mostly reads quietly at home, it's always different when there's someone else around.
Fortunately, Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai both have jobs now, so they're not idle; otherwise, they would really be very lonely.
Since their children graduated, started working, and got married, the family hasn't gone on any trips together. Zhao Qinglan felt a pang of emotion when she looked through old travel photos.
"Look how fast time flies."
Li Huai was also deeply moved when he looked at those photos.
"That's right, in the blink of an eye, we're both getting old."
"Work hard for a few more years, and when you retire, I'll hand over the company to you. Then we can go on a trip. There are so many places I want to go."
"good."
Although Li Huai knew that unless he retired due to illness or other problems arose, he would not be able to fulfill his wife's wish for several years.
Thinking about this, he felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, his wife is much younger than him. He needs to exercise and stay healthy so that he can retire as a healthy old man and then the couple can go wherever they want.
After envisioning their future retirement life, the couple quickly returned to their respective work.
After returning to school, the third child continued to spend his time in the lab and library as usual, except for attending classes.
Regardless of the outcome of his first paper, he has already begun preparing for his second paper.
During the summer vacation, he read various professional books and some journals and magazines, and he had a new idea.
My roommate once saw him in the library and sat next to him. When she caught a glimpse of him writing a paper, she was shocked.
"Li Yan'an, am I seeing things? You're writing a thesis?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Sanwa looked like he was making a big fuss.
"Well, we're only sophomores. We don't need to prepare our graduation theses until our senior year."
"Who said I wrote a graduation thesis?"
"Oh, then why are you writing papers?"
"Can't I write a thesis if I don't graduate?"
"Of course not."
"I'm just idling around anyway, so I'll just write whatever comes to mind." After saying that, Sanwa continued to work diligently.
His roommate had no expression left.
Just writing whatever comes to mind! Is a thesis something you can just write casually? How can it come out of his mouth like he's eating something so casual?
Even though my roommate already knew that Sanwa wasn't human, he still wanted to curse him again!
If he knew that Sanwa had already written a paper last semester, received recognition from a top professor, and submitted it to a top international journal, I wonder what he would think.
While Sanwa was working on his second paper, his first paper, after multiple reviews, finally yielded a result.
