Han Zecheng specifically asked Su Ruo to take Nan Nan to pay New Year's greetings to Shu Yuelan.
Of course he also knew that Yuan Chengyang had returned.
When Su Ruo brought Nan Nan back, he hugged Nan Nan and asked her if she had fun.
Nan Nan: "Well, it's not bad. Uncle Yuan is also very nice. There are many fun things..."
"He showed me the picture cards he and his mother used to play with when they were young. There were all the beautiful fairies in Journey to the West and various monsters in Classic of Mountains and Seas. He drew them on cardboard and cut them out by himself. There were also pictures that his mother drew when she was a child...Uncle Yuan also played Gobang with me. My brother didn't have the patience to play with me..."
As she spoke, she wrinkled her pretty little nose.
Nannan is not a talkative person usually, except when she is talking to her father.
She spoke excitedly, but Su Ruo's hair stood on end when she heard it.
When she was at Yuan's house before, she was chatting with Aunt Shu and saw Yuan Chengyang took a lot of cards, picture books, and some old toys for Nan Nan to play with. Seeing that Nan Nan was having so much fun, she didn't pay much attention... Little did she know that those were the things she played with when she was a child.
In fact, it doesn’t matter even if it was something she played when she was a child, but for some reason, she still felt a little guilty when Nan Nan told her father about it with such an excited look on her face.
Seeing that Nan Nan was talking endlessly, Han Zecheng was still listening to her patiently. She couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "Nan Nan, when I came up just now, Granny Zhang said that she had stewed sweet wine for you. It should be ready now. Let's go down and take a look."
Nan Nan said “Oh”.
Like her mom, it's her favorite.
But she was young, and her mother usually didn't allow her to eat it. She was sick a few days ago, and her mother didn't even let her have a bite. She was really greedy... So after hearing what her mother said, she stopped talking quickly, climbed down from her father, turned around and ran downstairs.
But after running two steps, she turned around and looked at her father, then ran back and looked at her father very seriously and said, "Dad, although Uncle Yuan is not bad, he is a very good person and has more patience than my brother, I just like those picture cards and picture books because they are what my mother played with when she was a child... I still love my father, my mother and my brother the most."
Although she felt that there was no need to say these words.
For example, there is no need to talk to her mother and brother all day long...but her father was in the army before, and she couldn't see him often. Her mother told her that when her father comes back, she must tell him that she loves him very much, so that she will have more happy memories of her father when he was in the army.
Han Zecheng laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, and said, "Go down."
Nan Nan doesn't like being pinched.
But her father was an exception. Seeing her father happy, she went out and went downstairs happily again.
After Nan Nan went downstairs, the room suddenly became much quieter.
Han Zecheng said, "Is Aunt Shu okay? Let's go to school to see her some other day."
Su Ruo grinned and said, "Well, it's pretty good. She has done several big projects in the past few years and compiled a handbook on the protection of ancient buildings. It has become a classic reference book in this industry. It can even be said that many things have become standard examples."
After a pause, he continued, "Yuan Chengyang has also changed a lot. The hardships he has experienced outside over the past few years have made him much more mature."
As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him cautiously, but seeing that he didn't have any special expression, she went forward and hugged him, saying, "Hey, Brother Han, aren't you jealous anymore? Alas, I heard that after being married for a long time, no matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, the passion will disappear and it will slowly become like a family relationship... Is that right?"
Han Zecheng was a very capable person, so of course he understood what she meant.
It's not that he won't get jealous.
But the matter of Yuan Chengyang was not enough to make him jealous... Even after he had Nan Nan, he no longer had any knot in his heart about Yuan Chengyang growing up with her.
Especially when Nan Nan told him, "What I love most are my parents and my brother," he looked at Yuan Chengyang... and really didn't feel any jealousy at all.
But the wife still needs to be coaxed.
He touched her, then lowered his head and bit her cheek, saying, "I didn't expect you to still feel that the passion I gave you was not enough. It seems that I need to work harder, right?"
that......
Su Ruo's heart started beating... forget it, that's just what she said.
She turned her head and kissed his lips, then hugged him and said, "I was joking, but I really heard that... Everyone says that, but although family love is good, I still want you to love me forever... I'm a little greedy."
He understood what she meant.
Of course he loves her.
This time he didn't say anything, but answered her with actions.
When Su Ruo came out of his arms, panting...she actually thought this topic was not enough.
She said, "Because people don't know when passion will arise. If our feelings turn into family affection, then it is very likely that one day you will feel moved by someone else... Although I believe that with your character and self-control, there will absolutely be no problems, but when I think that you don't love me anymore and have passion for another woman in your heart, I can't stand it."
Han Zecheng: ...
"What a mess you are thinking."
He said, "It seems that I really haven't done enough... Otherwise, how could you still have the energy to think about these inexplicable things."
Su Ruo snorted, and naturally couldn't spare any thought for anything else afterwards.

After the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, school leaders went back to work.
Su Ruo graduated at the end of last year, but this time she returned to Qingcheng permanently. After the Chinese New Year, she still went to the school to visit the dean and several teachers.
The dean was very happy to see Su Ruo.
Even his eyes lit up.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Su, I'm glad you're back. I was really worried that you would stay in Yunnan and never come back. Haha, Xiao Su, you just came back, so you probably haven't decided on a job yet, right? Do you want to come back to teach at the school? Our school is short of teachers, and there are many projects that need manpower urgently. If you come back, it will be of great significance to the development of our Cultural Relics and Art Department and even the college."
Su Ruo was not surprised to hear the dean say this. In fact, the dean had already revealed this idea to her before, and Aunt Shu also mentioned it to her when she met her a few days ago.
But she had thought about it carefully. She respected those teachers, professors and researchers, and respected their work and dedication.
But it is definitely not her long-term career plan... She also likes to do research and discuss with everyone, but her dedication to research is different from that of Aunt Shu and Professor Wang.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Dean, but I have thought about this matter carefully. Compared with working and researching in school, I would rather open an ancient cultural relic and painting studio to collect folk cultural relics and ancient paintings. If there is an opportunity, I also hope to popularize our ancient cultural knowledge in society and hope that more people will love our country's ancient culture."
The dean was a little surprised and felt very sorry.
He felt that this was a waste of her talent...
But he couldn't force it.
But he didn't want to give up, so he said, "Xiao Su, why don't you think about it again? You can open this studio, but we can hire you as a teacher in our school. You can only teach one professional course per semester, and then you can choose some projects you like to do... You can even register your studio under the name of our university."
This is a really bold idea.
But it is indeed quite tempting, because Su Ruo also hopes to maintain close ties with the school.
But after thinking about it, she refused and said, "Forget about setting up a studio in name only. I'm afraid that if I don't act carefully, it will cause trouble for the school... But I can be a teacher."
In fact, it’s not that we are afraid of causing trouble for the school, but we are afraid that there will be many restrictions if we are affiliated with the school’s name.
The dean laughed.
As long as the attitude softens, that's fine.
Then the dean took over Zaili and told Su Ruo about many projects the school was carrying out. Seeing that Su Ruo was quite interested, he let her go... The dean is really a person who is eager to recruit talented people.
In fact, he had already received news from the principal that Su Ruo's grandfather would return to Qingcheng from abroad for a period of time, and the school would definitely strive for funding from Mr. Xia. With Su Ruo around, couldn't their college get more support?
He also worked tirelessly for the development of the academy... Of course, he really liked Su Ruo and hoped that she could use her talents to become an outstanding antiquarian.

March 12.
Su Ruo stood at Qingcheng Airport.
The airport is very open. From a distance, you can see planes slowly landing and then planes running on the runway.
She was surrounded by Han Zecheng, Guoguo, Nannan, and several guards.
But apart from Han and Huai's assistant, there were no other government officials.
This was specially arranged by Han Hehuai.
He said: "Mr. Xia and his wife have been away from their homeland for more than 30 or 40 years. When he returns for the first time, he will definitely want to see his relatives first and visit his old home, rather than facing a large group of government officials talking to him about official business. Let him meet his relatives first, reconnect with them, and have a good reunion for a few days. Don't let anyone disturb him. The rest will be arranged later based on Mr. Xia's opinion."
Su Ruo was very grateful for her father-in-law's arrangement.
After all, there is her mother between them.
She believed that her grandparents would definitely want to visit her mother first.
Su Ruo saw a group of people getting off the plane one after another via the stairs.
They saw the two elderly people in the lead from afar, and saw them coming over, and then someone walked over and led them towards them.
Originally, when Su Ru was waiting for the plane, she felt a mixture of emotions, including excitement, confusion, happiness, and lingering melancholy.
But when she saw two elderly people approaching her direction, and saw that although one of the old women was a bit old, she could still vaguely make out the familiar facial features, her tears immediately flowed down.
She thought, if her mother were still alive, how happy she would be now.
But she will never see it again.
She thought her father, mother and two brothers were all gone, and then died in endless worry and anxiety about her.
