Zhou Zhengting said it very lightly, but it sounded very heavy to Jiang Qingyue's ears.
He hadn't told his family before, nor had he discussed it with me, so I just refused it outright.
I guess he just doesn't want to cause trouble for himself and his family.
Otherwise, my family is all in Beijing, and even a fool would know that it’s better to stay here.
Zhou Huiqin also knew that Zhou Zhengting was doing this for his sister-in-law, so she tentatively said, "In fact, Qingyue can also be transferred back to Beijing. Everyone in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences likes her very much. If she comes back, everyone will definitely rush to welcome her. What do you think?"
"Besides, Qingyue, your family members are all here. If you stay, we can all take care of you."
Jiang Qingyue smiled dryly and said, "I know Sister Huiqin, you are doing this for our own good, but this happened a little suddenly. Besides, I am only halfway through my research project in South Island. It will take at least two years to complete it. I am afraid I won't be able to come back before then."
"But this opportunity is really good. Besides, my parents are old and there's no one to take care of them. Why don't we let Zhou Zhengting come back to work first?"
When Zhou Zhengting heard her say this, his expression changed immediately.
"Wife, what are you talking about? You want to live apart? I don't agree. Don't even think about it."
After saying that, he was afraid that his words might sound too harsh, so he changed his tone to a low voice, "Besides, I think the way things are now is pretty good, and I'm already content."
The atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly tense.
Zhou's mother spoke up, "I think Zhengting is right. Although the future is important, family is the most important."
"Fortunately, the old man and I have been in good health for the past two years and do not need the children to take care of us. We are not needed for the time being."
"Qingyue has put so much effort into her work in the early stages. She definitely can't just leave like that. She's not such an irresponsible person."
Mr. Zhou also nodded and said, "That's right. It's impossible to have the best of everything. Besides, I think the front line is also good. Zheng Ting is still young. If he is promoted too early, he will lose himself and forget his original intention."
"I think it would be a good idea to hone my skills on the front line for a few more years."
After listening to everyone's opinions, Zhou Huiqin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at, kid?"
Zhou Huiqin suppressed her smile and said, "Okay, I was just testing you just now to see how determined you are."
"Now that I see you have all made the decision, I feel relieved. Originally, I thought Second Uncle was unhappy and wanted Zheng Ting to stay and get promoted. I thought I should be the bad guy and talk it out. Now it's all right. It's good that everything has been made clear."
When everyone heard what Zhou Huiqin said, they all suddenly understood.
Mother Zhou explained with a smile, "How could your second uncle be unhappy about this? He was angry that Zheng Ting didn't discuss this with him, and he felt that Zheng Ting didn't trust the two of us enough."
Zhou Zhengting got anxious when he heard this, "Dad, Mom, I really didn't mean that. I didn't think much about it at the time and just rejected it."
After hearing this, Zhou's father's expression softened. "Forget it this time. Next time something like this happens, we should discuss it as a family."
"You are young and speak bluntly. At least I can help you smooth things over. Life is long, so you should leave a way out for yourself. Who knows if you will come back in the future?"
Zhou Zhengting nodded sincerely, "Dad, you are right. I didn't think it through this time."
At that time, he just wanted to reject this matter as soon as possible to avoid any changes in the future.
It really doesn't take other people's feelings into consideration.
It's a lesson learned.
After dinner, Zhou Huiqin sat for a while.
Talking to Zhou Zhengting about the 19 people he brought back from abroad last time,
"Now their family members have come to Beijing to surrender one after another, and the interrogation has been completed."
"For the time being, everyone is being detained for education. After the new year, those who have returned from abroad will be able to find jobs again. As for their family members, they will still need to serve their sentences according to the circumstances of the leak."
Zhou Zhengting nodded. "I know the general situation. There shouldn't be much to say about those people. I just need to pay attention to Yan Wenfeng's arrangements."
Although Yan Wenbin had made mistakes in South Island before, fortunately, no irreparable losses were caused.
Moreover, he also made great contributions by going abroad to identify the bodies.
In order to atone for his crimes, Yan Wenbin has now lost his life in the operation, and all the crimes he committed before can be forgiven.
Before he left, he entrusted things to Zhou Zhengting and Jiang Qingyue.
He hoped that they could help his sister Yan Wenfeng.
Therefore, the two of them need to think carefully about Yan Wenfeng's placement.
Zhou Zhengting thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Qingyue and I go meet her tomorrow and ask for her opinion first."
"Okay, then I'll leave this person to you."
"good."
......
After Zhou Huiqin left, Jiang Qingyue helped Zhou's mother clean the table.
After everything was brought to the kitchen, Zhou's mother briefly asked about the two people's situation there.
After learning that Xie Xiaojuan's matter had been dealt with, he said to Jiang Qingyue, "You don't need to be busy here. You and Zheng Ting just drove so long and must be tired. You should go upstairs and rest."
After saying that, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, "Don't take what Huiqin said just now to heart. Zhengting has been like this since he was a child. He is not used to discussing anything with others. Besides, he is afraid that you will feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Qingyue smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, I know what's going on."
"That's good, hurry up and go up."
Jiang Qingyue had no choice but to nod, wiped her hands and went upstairs.
At this time, Zhou Zhengting had already taken the two children upstairs and was playing with them in the children's room for a while.
Seeing Jiang Qingyue coming back, she smiled and said, "Mom is back, you guys can play for a while longer and then you have to take a nap."
Chenchen and Anan also knew that their parents must have something to say.
Then he nodded obediently, "Okay, we will sleep by ourselves."
Zhou Zhengting touched the two children's heads with relief, then stood up and returned to the master bedroom next door.
As soon as he entered, he closed the door quietly.
He smiled with a guilty look on his face, "Wife, are you tired? Do you want me to give you a massage to relax you?"
Jiang Qingyue had a faint smile on her face and snorted, "No need, I'm fine."
When Zhou Zhengting saw her like this, he knew that she was still more or less angry.
She came over shamelessly and pulled him to the bedside, "It's okay, it's a waste if you don't use your husband."
As he spoke, he pulled the person over and made him sit down on the bed.
He really started to massage her shoulders. "You must be sore after sitting in the car for the whole morning, right?"
Jiang Qingyue found it funny, but deliberately said, "It's not me who's driving the car."
Zhou Zhengting was happy to see her talking to him, "I'm not thick-skinned, and I exercise every day, so this level of intensity isn't tiring for me."
Jiang Qingyue didn't know why, but her heart suddenly softened.
