Yang's mother didn't like girls, and Yang Xuechang and his wife didn't expect her to suddenly change her attitude towards Tian Tian. The best way was to keep Tian Tian away from Yang's mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Yang are not old, only in their sixties, and in good health. They can live in their hometown for ten or eight years without any problem.
When their parents get old, the responsibility of caring for them will naturally fall on Yang Xuechang's shoulders. But by then, Tian Tian will have grown up and gone to university, and won't have to put up with Yang's mother's attitude anymore.
Mr. Yang agreed to go back to his hometown, but Mrs. Yang was extremely unwilling.
But she didn't dare to shout, so she just muttered to herself.

"Having a son and still going back to my hometown, if the neighbors see me like this, they'll laugh at me to death..."
Yang Xuechang said calmly, "Mom, if you have any opinions, just say them out loud. I am your son, and there is nothing you can't say in front of me."
Yang's mother continued to mutter softly, "If I said I didn't want to go back, would you agree?"
Yang Xuechang said, "Mom, you are an elder, and I respect you, but you should also consider us children. We have children too. If I ask you to treat Tiantian the same as everyone else, not to force her to do housework, and not to make those sexist remarks, can you do that?"
Yang's mother fell silent.
The preference for sons over daughters is a deeply ingrained belief in her; how can it be changed so easily?
"Since you can't do that, then for Tian Tian's sake, I have no choice but to ask you to go back to your hometown first. This is better for both you and Tian Tian."
With a gloomy expression, Yang's mother stood up from the sofa and went into the bedroom without saying a word.
With a look of shame, Yang's father said, "Xuechang, Shanshan, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble these past few days."
Yang Xuechang said, "Dad, please don't say that. After we go back to our hometown, I hope you can persuade Mom not to spoil Wangwang. It's not a good thing for Wangwang."
Yang Xuechang's attitude calmed down Yang's mother for several days. She dared not give Tian Tian a hard time anymore. However, Duan Meishan did not allow Tian Tian to be alone with her and sent her to the Gu family across the street as usual.
The New Year is just around the corner.
The Gu family ate their New Year's Eve dinner at the farm.
Because the farm was growing more grains, fruits, and vegetables, and workers needed to stay on-site during the Lunar New Year, Shen Jingyan and Shen Honggang decided to hold a New Year's Eve banquet on the farm, so that the Gu and Shen families could gather there to celebrate the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, the farm was filled with a special festive atmosphere.
We slaughtered a pig and picked a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits from the greenhouse.
With Zhang Guizhi in charge of cooking and everyone's help, they prepared a large table of delicious New Year's Eve dishes.
He Haowen and his wife Shen Yulan, Zhang Changxing and his wife Shen Yuqin also came to the farm for the New Year.
Shen Yuqin gave birth to a lovely little daughter, one year younger than Rui Rui, and nicknamed her Sui Sui, which means peace and safety year after year.
It's quite a coincidence that Zhang Changxing and Shen Yuqin are both of average appearance, but Sui Sui has inherited their best features, making her particularly likable.

Gu Zhiyun held Sui Sui for a long time, reluctant to let go.
"Everyone has a daughter, but I don't."
His tone was somewhat resentful.
The thought that Yang Xuechang had a daughter, Shen Yuqin had a daughter, and Xu Yatong, the eldest sister of the Xu family, also had a daughter made him extremely jealous.
Shen Jingyan tilted her head and smiled, "Or, shall we have another one?"
Gu Zhiyun was very interested in the suggestion, but then shook his head.
The hardships his young wife endured during the birth of Rui Rui flashed before his eyes.
He was terrified; his face turned pale and his legs trembled, fearing that something might happen to his young wife.
He couldn't bear to let his young wife go through that pain again.
After spending New Year's Eve at the farm, the Gu family returned to the city on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Over the next few days, Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun spent most of their time visiting relatives and friends for the New Year and having meals with classmates.
"Brother Yun, we've seen enough. Shouldn't we go see Professor Tang?"
Last year, Gu Zhiyun was in the satellite research and development team during the Spring Festival and couldn't go home, so he didn't visit Professor Tang.
Professor Tang is considered a benefactor to Gu Zhiyun, so it's only right that we bring a gift to visit him.
Gu Zhiyun was stumped when Shen Jingyan made the suggestion.
He respects Professor Tang, and it's only right and proper for him to visit him. Back then, Professor Tang and Jiang Shu argued vehemently so that he could pursue graduate studies.
After Professor Tang became a professor at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, his first priority was to admit Gu Zhiyun as a graduate student.
Afterwards, they also gave him a lot of academic guidance and help.
Visiting Professor Tang alone is fine, the key is to face Tang Xiaoran.
This is one of the people Gu Zhiyun least wants to see.

"How about we invite Professor Tang over for a visit?"
Shen Jingyan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but we are the younger generation, so it's not appropriate for us to invite our elders to our home. How about Mom invites them in the name of the principal? In addition to Professor Tang, let's invite Grandpa as well. Grandpa and Professor Tang are both senior figures and have both served as deans of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. It must have been a long time since the two of them have seen each other."
Gu Zhiyun held Shen Jingyan in his arms and kissed her red lips.
"Jingya, you've thought of everything. How could I live without you?"
Shen Jingyan smiled playfully and pinched his high, straight nose.
"Then you'd better treat me well!"
The two told Fang Ru about their suggestion to invite Professor Tang and Old Man Xu, and Fang Ru readily agreed.
As the president of Imperial University, it was perfectly appropriate for her to invite the two professors to her home for a meal.
Professor Tang gladly accepted the invitation.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Tang Xiaoran came over.

"Dad, are you going to the Gu family's house for dinner? Their house is quite far from ours, and I'm worried about you going alone."
Professor Tang had long since guessed Tang Xiaoran's thoughts.
"It's not far, just nine bus stops, and it takes about half an hour."
He wouldn't let Tang Xiaoran go with him.
If Tang Xiaoran couldn't help herself and spoke carelessly in front of Gu Zhiyun, he wouldn't be able to bear the embarrassment.
"You're so old, I don't feel comfortable letting you take the bus alone."
Tang Xiaoran thought to herself, "My father is such an important person, the Gu family will definitely go downstairs to the bus stop to greet him."
She escorted her father there, and the Gu family would definitely feel bad letting her go back alone once they saw her.
Once the Gu family invites her upstairs for a chat, wouldn't she have a chance to get to know Gu Zhiyun?
