Yu Xiang's difficult family experiences have made her much more mature than her peers.
Yu Xiang also noticed the changes in Erwa.
She just didn't understand why Erwa was like this, so she pretended not to know for the time being.
One day, Yu Xiang suddenly asked Erwa where he planned to go after graduation, and Erwa's expression froze.
Yes, he's a senior in college now.
Many people in the class were discussing where they would be assigned after graduation, and some were even thinking about pursuing further studies or studying abroad.
Perhaps because of his privileged family background, he never worried about the future and never thought about these things.
But now that Yu Xiang asked him, he realized that if he were to follow the general trend and be assigned to a different place after graduation, it would be very difficult to see Yu Xiang again.
"I haven't decided yet," Erwa said.
Yu Xiang smiled. "You're a graduate of a prestigious university, so even if you're assigned a job, you'll definitely get a good one. There's really no need to worry."
Her school was a bit worse than Erwa's, but she could still get a job, though she preferred cooking.
Erwa managed a weak smile.
The thought of being assigned to a workplace after graduation and working in a routine manner suddenly made him feel very bored.
If Yu Xiang could give up his assigned job to open his own shop for his dream, then shouldn't he also be able to do what he wants to do?
When the future was mentioned, Erwa felt a little lost.
Moreover, deep down, he didn't want to leave Haishi.
Perhaps because of what Wang Lingling said, he did not continue to discuss with Yu Xiang where he would stay in the future.
However, after returning to school, he called his older brother.
Since I started working, my younger brother Erwa has rarely called me, so when Dawa was called, he rushed over quickly.
Once the call connected, Erwa immediately asked his question.
"Brother, are you satisfied with your current job?"
The older child laughed. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"I just suddenly realized I'm graduating soon, so I thought I'd ask you."
The older child roughly understood what his younger brother was struggling with. "When I chose to go to military school, I had already thought about what I wanted to do in the future, so I am very satisfied with my current job."
"Brother, I've been thinking about it, and when I graduate next year, I don't really want to do the job that was assigned to me."
"So, do you know what you want to do?" the eldest child coaxed gently.
"I haven't decided yet."
"Erwa, you still have a lot of time before graduation, so you can think it over carefully. Our family doesn't expect you to earn money to support us. If you have any dreams, you can follow your heart to pursue them."
Knowing that her brother still had work, Erwa hung up the phone.
Is this his dream?
He doesn't know what his dream is yet, but he knows his hobby very well: food.
He is interested in everything related to food.
How about becoming a chef? That doesn't seem right; he's only good at eating, not cooking.
So, should he try running a food business like his mother? It seems he's not very good at it either.
After struggling to figure it out for several days, Erwa called his mother again.
When Zhao Qinglan learned of her son's predicament, she found it quite amusing.
"Even if you don't work for a year or two after graduation, Mom won't rush you, so don't worry, you can take your time to think about it."
As long as the child's character isn't bad, she can be very tolerant in these aspects.
With her mother's support, Erwa's worries lessened somewhat.
He never expected that it would be his great-aunt who would ultimately provide him with ideas to solve the problem.
Madam Sun had some business to attend to in Haishi, and since Erwa was studying there, she naturally wanted to see him.
While chatting after dinner outside, Erwa mentioned his worries about choosing a career in the future, and Madam Sun laughed when she heard it.
"I think you could become a food critic with this hobby of yours."
"Food critic?" This was the first time Erwa had ever encountered this term.
Having lived in Hong Kong and traveled to many countries around the world, Madam Sun was well-informed and, considering Erwa's personality and interests, quickly came up with this career idea.
After I explained it to Erwa briefly, Erwa's eyes lit up.
This concept isn't entirely absent in China, but it's mostly used by gourmets who are skilled at appreciating fine food; very few people actually pursue it as a legitimate profession.
On the contrary, in foreign countries, there are already related industries, and even related programs and magazines.
Madam Sun opened the door to a new world for Erwa, and Erwa immediately began to look forward to the future.
When Madam Sun returned to Hong Kong, she had someone collect some food critics' magazines and mail them to Erwa.
When Erwa went to Yu Xiang's shop again, he and she had an enthusiastic discussion about food critics.
When Erwa talked about the job he wanted to do, his eyes were full of stars.
Erwa is good-looking, has a good personality, and is even a bit naive. They can get along well and spend a lot of time together. Has Yu Xiang never had any feelings for him?
Of course there is.
However, considering her own situation, Yu Xiang realized that she was several years older than Erwa, and Erwa was not a local. She was determined to keep her own small shop, so she gave up the idea as soon as the ripples started.
With a new goal in mind, Erwa still visits Yu's restaurant to see Yu Xiang, but he spends the rest of his time enthusiastically doing his own thing, all moving towards his goal of becoming a food critic.
Zhao Qinglan was quite happy to learn that her son was no longer confused.
Wait until winter break starts.
Erwa said goodbye to Yu Xiang and then took the train home.
Before leaving, Yu Xiang brought him some food she had made herself.
Seeing that her son had brought back gifts from the girl, Zhao Qinglan smiled knowingly and didn't ask any further questions.
Anyway, the second child hasn't graduated yet, and who knows what will happen in the future, so she won't interfere in the child's affairs for the time being.
Didn't you see that the eldest child doesn't need his parents to manage him and has already taken care of his major life events on his own?
Sometimes, the more elders interfere, the worse it is.
What made her happy this year was that Da Wa and Ji Rou also came home for the Chinese New Year.
Xiaoduo is still abroad, so the family is still missing someone and not complete.
On New Year's Eve, the family sat around the table watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating their New Year's Eve dinner. Every now and then, they would receive a New Year's greeting phone call.
Even though she was abroad, Xiaoduo still made sure to call home at the right time.
After finishing the phone call, she set off for her boyfriend's house.
Since she didn't return to China this year, Zhou Yunting had discussed it with his mother early on, asking Xiao Duo to come to their home to celebrate the New Year together.
Yi Ningxiang couldn't wait for the house to be more lively, and she hoped her son would work harder to marry Xiaoduo as soon as possible.
However, this is not possible until Xiaoduo graduates with her master's degree.
When Xiao Duo arrived at Zhou Yunting's house, she found that their home was decorated with a strong festive atmosphere, and it didn't feel like a foreign country at all. It was just like being back in China.
The bright red couplets and lanterns, along with the delicious Chinese food cooked by the family chef.
Actually, Zhou Yunting's family never had such an oriental style for Chinese New Year in the past. It's just that Xiaoduo is coming this year, and they wanted her to feel the warmth of home, so they specially decorated their home like this.
Of course, Xiaoduo likes it very much too.
Although she still missed home, she didn't feel lonely at all here.
