From then on, a pair of words appeared in the most conspicuous place in Director Han’s office.

Gradually, Yi Qingqing found that some senior colleagues in the institute would actively talk to her, and they would talk about her calligraphy and express their love for her calligraphy.

Although she didn't ask for calligraphy, Yi Qingqing remembered it. Later, when her colleagues had happy events or needed gifts, she knew to please them and give them her own handwritten calligraphy.

Yi Qingqing's reputation as a calligrapher gradually spread from here and became popular in a small circle.

Later, someone paid her to write, but that’s another story.

At this time, Yi Qingqing was still working hard with her classmates, working day and night on experiments.

In order to complete all the medicines on the list before the one-year deadline, none of them took a single vacation for six months, and even often worked overtime. During the Chinese New Year this year, everyone squeezed out a pitiful half day to spend the New Year with their families.

So this year, Yi Qingqing couldn't go back to Nanping County to celebrate the New Year. She took some time to call home, acted like a spoiled child and successfully persuaded her parents, brother and sister-in-law to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year.

On New Year’s Eve, at one o’clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of No. 45 Luoguxiang, two little girls were sitting on the doorstep, with a little black cat squatting beside them.

"Gurgle~" Sisi covered her belly and said, "Why hasn't my aunt come back yet? My tummy is calling for her!"

"My uncle has gone to pick him up. He should be back soon," Xiaohui licked her lips.

"Meow~" Daifu pricked up his ears.

"Dahu is hungry too, haha~" Sisi covered her mouth and laughed.

Dafu glanced at the silly human cub. Was it hungry? It clearly heard the sound of its master coming back!

Not long after, Xiaohui also heard the creaking sound of the bicycle. She leaned over to take a look and was surprised: "Aunt is back!"

Sisi stood up in a flash, "It's really my aunt!"

"Let's go and tell mom and grandma the news," Xiaohui pulled her sister and ran to the yard.

As she walked, she shouted, "Aunt is back, Aunt is back!"

When Yi Qingqing arrived at the door, there was only a door with couplets pasted on it, a big red lantern hanging on it, and a little black cat at the door.

She got off the back seat of the bicycle, squatted down and touched Da Fu. After A Yuan pushed the bicycle into the yard, she stood up and locked the gate, and then the two of them quickly walked to the main courtyard.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold of the second door, I was entangled by two lively little girls, who kept calling "Auntie" and "Auntie".

After passing through the main hall and arriving at the dining room at the back, I saw my parents and my brother and sister-in-law setting the dishes.

"Why did you come back so late? Is work going well?" Yi's mother asked.

"It went smoothly, it went smoothly. I won't leave work until I finish making this medicine," said Yi Qingqing.

"Oh, your job is so busy that no one is busier than you. You must be hungry. Go wash your hands and eat!" said Yi's mother.

Yi Qingqing hurriedly pulled Yun Guyuan to the backyard to wash their hands.

While eating, they chatted about the clothing store again.

Yi's mother thought of her daughter's sisters and asked her, "Qingqing, why didn't you invite Xiaoxue, Lingling, Lailai Duoduo and others to celebrate the New Year together this year?"

"They were not in the capital for the New Year this year. Mengxue and Comrade Gao went back to the Northeast, Lingling and Comrade Xie, Lailai and Comrade Chen, Sister Duoduo and Comrade Li Aimin from the Aiguo Aimin Hotel all went back to Hai City," said Yi Qingqing.

"That's right. Now that you've graduated and have stable jobs, we should go home together to visit relatives and friends. It's almost time to talk about marriage," Yi's mother glanced at her daughter.

For a moment, everyone's hands became much lighter when picking up food, and everyone looked at Yi Qingqing.

Yi's father was very partial and felt that he couldn't ask his daughter about this matter, and he still had to ask the man: "Xiao Yun, do you have any ideas?"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

Things have come to this point, how could she not know what this means?

She was right. She couldn't escape being urged to get married this year.

In fact, it's not just her. The reason why her sisters left the capital before the New Year is because their families are asking about their marriages.

She quickly said, "Dad, Mom, Ayuan and I have already talked about it. We will get married when my job is stable."

"When will you have a stable job?" Yi's mother asked again.

"I want to try to get the opportunity to go abroad for exchange at the end of next year. It will take a year before I can come back, and then I will get married after I come back." Yi Qingqing said.

"It'll take another two years?" Yi's mother calculated the time. "Isn't it too late? It will take 1985 to get married. By then, you will be 28 and Xiaoyun will be 29. How old will you have to be to have a child? Can you wait? Can Xiaoyun wait?"

These days, her daughter is busy, and Xiaoyun is the one running around, picking them up at the train station, taking them out to play, etc. He is very thoughtful. Her daughter should hold on to such a good man, otherwise Xiaoyun will regret it if he runs away!

After all, I wasted time during those years in the countryside. I was already 20 years old when I went to college.

"Aunt, I'm not in a hurry. Work is more important. Qingqing is going to represent the country to study technology. It's also good to wait until she comes back to get married."

Of course Yun Guyuan wanted to get married as soon as possible, but he also knew that Qingqing loved her career very much. Every time he heard her talk about work, there was light in her eyes.

As for having children when he gets older, he is not worried about it.

Qingqing has always been in good health. She is also a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so there is no problem for her to have another child at the age of 30.

Sometimes he even secretly thought that it would be better if he didn't have children in the future, so that Qingqing's heart would not be divided by the children. But sometimes, he looked forward to having a daughter who looked like Qingqing, or a son who looked like him and Qingqing.

It's a very complicated psychology. Anyway, Qingqing is the most important. Rather than looking forward to having his own children with Qingqing, he is more looking forward to becoming her husband and her becoming his wife, and the two of them supporting each other and staying together until the end of their lives. Other things are not so important.

In fact, Yi's mother didn't really want to urge her daughter to give up her job and get married quickly. She was just worried that Xiaoyun would have some ideas. After hearing what Yun Guyuan said, she felt relieved.

"That's fine. Just be aware of this. Work is important, but life is equally important. As long as you two are doing well, we can rest assured."

"Got it," Yi Qingqing picked up a piece of her favorite dish for her mother with chopsticks, "Don't worry, I will get married as soon as I return to China. Ayuan can wait, but I can't. When the time comes, I will need you to help us arrange the wedding!"
