The eldest son and his family moved not long before the Lunar New Year.
Li Huai has a mission this year and will not be able to spend the Spring Festival with his wife.
Zhao Qinglan thought that her eldest son and daughter's family were all in the capital, and her mother and uncle were also there, so she decided to spend the New Year in the capital.
As for Erwa's family, considering that the child was still young, Zhao Qinglan didn't let them go through the trouble of traveling.
It was the first time that Yu Xiang's two children and her young son were spending the Lunar New Year together in their own little home, and it felt quite special.
Fortunately, the two have been working hard in Shanghai for quite some time now and have many friends and colleagues, so they are not lonely even when they don't go home.
Moreover, I can celebrate the New Year by myself, and everything is entirely up to their wishes, which feels quite enjoyable.
Sanwa flew back to Beijing a few days before the Lunar New Year to spend the holiday with his mother, brother, and sister.
The older brother doesn't see his younger brother often, but the two brothers do chat quite a bit when they do meet.
When asked about his younger brother's future plans, Sanwa revealed some information.
"In China, I have received offers from several universities to hire me, and research labs have also extended invitations to me."
The implication is that he can come back anytime he wants and doesn't have to worry about finding a job.
Upon hearing this, the eldest child was naturally delighted.
"I don't know much about your job either, so it's good that you can figure it out yourself."
Sun Guangming has a better understanding of the country's strategic direction in science and technology, and he has higher expectations for Sanwa.
"To build a strong nation through science and technology, our country still needs more scientific research talents like you in the future so that we can go further and achieve greater heights."
"Uncle, I understand."
The children of Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju are all grown up now, but when they see their cousin Sanwa, they still feel a sense of awe, like looking at someone else's academic genius, and they don't dare to talk to Sanwa much.
Zhao Qingzhu's eldest daughter, Nannan, will graduate from university next year and has already started her internship.
The child was admitted to a prestigious university in the south, which usually put Zhao Qingzhu at ease.
But with her child about to graduate, Zhao Qingzhu also had some worries.
A few years ago, college graduates were no longer assigned jobs, but now they almost always have to find jobs on their own after graduation.
Zhao Qingzhu started her business with her sister, and now they have nearly ten stores. In addition, with the savings they've accumulated over the years, as well as real estate and shops, their family is quite well-off.
Unlike some people who feel uneasy about not having a son, Zhao Qingzhu cherishes her two daughters just as much.
Even if her daughter can't find a good job, she can still support her daughter for the rest of her life.
But seeing her daughter go to university and dream of finding a suitable job and making some achievements, she, as a mother, began to worry about her daughter.
Her youngest daughter will be taking the college entrance exam next year. The girl usually does very well in school and will have no problem getting into university. Right now, her biggest worry is her eldest daughter.
“Your daughter is a student at a prestigious university, so you don’t need to worry about her finding a job,” Zhao Qinglan comforted her.
“That’s right, sister. If you think that your daughter can’t find a suitable job after graduating with a bachelor’s degree, then let her pursue a master’s degree,” Zhao Qingju suggested.
Their children are all very successful, which has raised the bar for these elders.
“Yes, pursuing a master’s degree is a good option. Nannan is a girl, and if she doesn’t want to work too hard, she can get a master’s degree and then try to stay at the university or apply for a job at another university. It would be a good choice,” Zhao Qinglan agreed.
After being comforted by her sisters, Zhao Qingzhu finally calmed down.
Zhao Qingju's son is currently in junior high school, and there are still several years before he has to go to college or find a job, so Zhao Qingju doesn't have to worry about him right now.
When the whole family gets together, they chat about all sorts of things. There are more and more children now. Starting with Jin'er, this generation already has several children, and there will only be more in the future.
Sun Guangming and his two younger sisters are getting old and enjoy the lively atmosphere at home. They feel great when they see the children popping up one after another.
Mrs. Sun has finally seen her son get married, and now she's in the stage of hoping for grandchildren. Her younger sister already has several great-grandchildren, while she doesn't even have any grandchildren. She must be so envious.
It's unclear whether it was because his wife and family weren't around during the Lunar New Year, or because he wasn't paying attention while eating alone, but Li Huai fell ill.
He originally wanted to keep the news from his wife so she wouldn't worry, but someone around him had already tipped her off.
Zhao Qinglan had originally planned to stay in Beijing for a few more days, but upon hearing that her husband was sick and hospitalized, she panicked and immediately took the fastest plane back.
When she arrived at the hospital ward, she saw her husband wearing a hospital gown and looking somewhat haggard, and she immediately felt sorry for him.
"Look at you, the moment I'm not around, you've gotten yourself into the hospital. How can I leave in peace after this?" she complained, while giving her husband a once-over.
Xiao Duo, who had come with her mother, saw this and retreated first.
Li Huai's rank meant he was staying in a private ward reserved for high-ranking officials, which was much quieter.
Seeing his wife, Li Huai felt a little guilty.
"I'm fine, just a stomach problem, my old ailment has flared up again."
"You must not have eaten properly again. Do you think you're still a young and strong man? You're already fifty-three after the New Year." Zhao Qinglan continued to nag, heaven knows how scared she was when she first heard that her husband was hospitalized.
Although her husband was perfectly healthy until she fell ill and passed away in her previous life, she has changed many things in this life. What if her husband's lifespan also changes as a result?
On the plane, every second felt like an eternity; she wished she could be by her husband's side the next moment.
