After their wedding, Xiao Duo and Zhou Yunting went straight to a southern island for their honeymoon.
Winter had already arrived, and it was very cold in the capital.
However, since Xiaoduo was pregnant, the two of them naturally couldn't do anything reckless; they simply went to a warm place to enjoy some time alone together.
At first, Zhao Qinglan was quite worried, not wanting her daughter to travel far away while pregnant.
It was only after Xiaoduo repeatedly assured him that she would be careful, and Zhou Yunting also promised to take good care of his beloved wife, that Zhao Qinglan reluctantly agreed.
Her daughter is already married, so she can't keep interfering in her daughter's life.
If this happens too often, even if her daughter doesn't complain, her son-in-law might not feel comfortable. She'll eventually have to get used to letting go.
Fortunately, Xiaoduo has always been in good health, and Zhou Yunting took good care of her. When she returned from her honeymoon, she looked a little plumper and had a very good complexion.
Because of her daughter's pregnancy, Zhao Qinglan had a lot to worry about, so she spent more time in the capital.
She doesn't interfere in her daughter's life, but occasionally cooks some delicious food and makes some soup to send over.
Actually, with her business so successful now, she doesn't need to do these things herself at all. She can just give orders and have plenty of people to help her. But Zhao Qinglan still prefers to cook herself.
Having spent more time in the capital, Zhao Qinglan had gained a better understanding of Sanwa's situation.
She had only heard her daughter mention it before, saying that Sanwa was just a learning machine at school.
Since her son was always reading at home, she didn't think much of it.
Now she brings food to her daughter, and occasionally she also brings some to her third son. Only now has she truly learned about her youngest son's situation.
But what could she say? Her son wasn't neglecting sleep or food; he was just working harder than usual. She couldn't stop him from striving for improvement, so she could only gently advise him to balance work and rest.
Zhao Qinglan stayed in Beijing until mid-December, after her three children had finished their final exams and were on holiday, before returning to her home in Guangzhou with her son.
This semester's final exams were particularly tough for Sanwa; he had to do several times more practice tests than the average student, which was at his own request. Because of this, he had to stay on vacation a few days later than his classmates, just so he could finish his other subjects.
As for the result, I won't tell him for the time being.
Just before the holiday, Sanwa submitted another paper.
This time, only his mentor knew the situation, and Sanwa didn't want to trouble his pregnant sister again, so he completed the translation from beginning to end by himself.
Fortunately, his English was not bad; he just lacked experience the first time.
When preparing his second paper, he consciously strengthened his learning of some professional English terms and read a lot of original English papers.
With his diligent studies, he found writing the English version of his second paper effortless.
In any case, the mentor praised it highly after reading it.
His first paper, with its novel perspective and well-supported arguments, attracted considerable attention from the field of physics.
His name was also remembered by some people.
However, only a very small number of people contacted the journal's editorial department, hoping to obtain Sanwa's contact information and further discuss academic issues with him. Most people just felt that Sanwa had some potential, but remained cautious and waited to see.
Among them, some knew that Sanwa was a gold medalist in the Olympiad, but Sanwa's current achievements still did not make these people pay too much attention to him.
After all, every year there are some talented newcomers in physics, and the value of Olympiad gold medals is also high every year. After seeing so many, everyone has become calm.
Only promising newcomers who truly achieve remarkable results can attract everyone's attention.
Sanwa wasn't thinking about how to make a name for himself. His current idea was simple: to learn more, apply more knowledge, conduct more research, and strive to achieve results so that he could be of help.
It was this attitude of his that earned him the respect of his mentor, who also grew to love and cherish him even more.
Zhao Qinglan took her son home, but Xiao Duo remained in the capital.
However, Zhou Yunting also accompanied him in Beijing.
Before leaving Beijing, Zhao Qinglan had spoken with her daughter.
She was thinking that her daughter was newly married this year and pregnant, and her son-in-law had already said that he would come back to China to spend the Chinese New Year with her daughter, and her mother-in-law would also come back to join them.
Since her daughter's in-laws were so considerate, she decided not to argue. She let her daughter stay in the capital to spend the New Year with her in-laws, as well as the still-living Mr. Zhou, who was not very close to her, and Mr. Zhou's father.
Look, she also has her youngest son, Erwa will bring Yu Xiang back with him, so the family won't be lonely.
Since her mother had said so, Xiaoduo didn't want to be dishonest and take Zhou Yunting back to her own home during the New Year, leaving her mother-in-law and father-in-law all alone, so she agreed.
Anyway, she's almost always in China, so it's easy for her to meet with her mother and the rest of her family. There's no need to fight over this.
Both sides were considerate of each other, so Xiaoduo not only didn't have to be caught in the middle, but also lived a comfortable life after marriage, which was something Zhao Qinglan was happy to see.
Xiao Duo's engagement and wedding were both held in Beijing. When Zhao Qinglan returned to Guangzhou, she inevitably encountered some inquiries, especially from the family compound.
Seeing how concerned everyone was about her daughter's marriage, Zhao Qinglan thought for a moment and decided to host a few more banquets in Guangzhou, without having to give gifts.
However, almost everyone who came to eat still gave a gift.
Many of these people are afraid of becoming estranged from their family, so they deliberately bring up the idea of ​​continuing to associate with them.
Whether or not there is a relationship or not mainly depends on whether the family invites you to weddings or funerals.
Even though her daughter had already registered her marriage, Zhao Qinglan never mentioned her daughter's pregnancy.
If anyone asks about her daughter, she should say that she and her son-in-law work and live in the capital.
To others, being able to settle down in the capital is a sign of success, so they don't find it strange that Xiaoduo hasn't come back to show up for a long time.
When Sanwa returned home for the Chinese New Year, his former high school classmates, who were now in college, invited him to get together.
Thinking about what happened during the summer vacation, Sanwa resolutely refused, saying that he was too busy to have time.
His paper being published in an international journal caused quite a stir at Tsinghua University. Outside of Tsinghua, it might attract the attention of physics faculty and students, but not many people outside the academic community knew about it.
Therefore, none of his former classmates knew that he had accomplished something significant.
Da Wa and his wife and daughter only took leave to meet with their family when his sister got married, and they have no plans to come back for the Chinese New Year this year.
The main reason is that it's really not easy for them to come back.
Although Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai missed the children, especially their granddaughter, they knew the reality and could only try to make as many phone calls as possible to talk to their granddaughter.
On Lunar New Year's Eve, the couple spent the holiday with their two children, three children, and Yu Xiang.
The thought of having another grandchild next year filled Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai with great anticipation.
I just hope their family's situation gets better year by year.
