Chapter 257
As soon as these words fell, the room instantly fell silent, because they all knew that when it came to Jiang Nanfang's level, he was the youngest professor at the University of Science and Technology, the youngest experimental genius, and the youngest physics genius.
And when all these titles are piled up on one person, Jiangnan Fang is destined to be extraordinary.
"Sister, why don't you relax?" Liang's mother spoke up. As a mother herself, she had experienced it herself, so she counseled, "It's a blessing for parents if their children are capable. It's also a blessing for us parents if our children aren't capable and stay with them. Ultimately, it's not up to us as parents to decide where our children's futures will lead, whether they're good or bad."
"All we can do is to stay behind them and provide them with a home when they want to come back or when they are injured. That's all."
Liang's mother gave birth to four children, each of whom had very different personalities and abilities.
But despite this, Liang's mother accepted them all.
Because she knows clearly that from the moment a child is born, parents can no longer make decisions for their children.
It was just that Liang's mother spent her entire life to understand these truths, while Wang Limei still hadn't understood them.
Everyone here is younger than her, and the only one who can persuade her is Liang's mother. "Don't you think so, big sister?"
Wang Limei sighed softly, "Yes, but I still feel uncomfortable."
"I also want my child to be with me, but I also know that this is impossible."
She pinched her brows and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that child."
Jiang Meishu whispered, "Mom, Nanfang is so successful now, you should be happy for him. If he were like my eldest brother, you would have a headache."
“The current situation is already very good.”
Among their four children, Jiang Nanfang is the most promising, followed by her and her sister, who are just average.
As for my eldest brother Jiang Dali, let’s not mention him.
Wang Limei agreed and nodded, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."
Shen Mingying next to her said enviously, "Godmother, you are so blessed that you don't know how to appreciate it. You gave birth to such an outstanding son. We mothers are all envious."
"Look at my two children. One studied at a normal school and became a teacher after graduation. I'm not saying being a teacher is bad, but his monthly salary of 48 yuan is not enough for him to live on, and we as parents have to subsidize him."
"Let's talk about the second child. He studied at a foreign language college. You know the current employment situation. He studied at a foreign language college, but he wasn't one of the top students. Basically, he was unemployed after graduation. Now he's still looking for a job at home."
"Compared to your Jiangnan Fang, at the same age, your Jiangnan Fang has become a professor at the University of Science and Technology. Now look at our child. This is the real reason why we don't even mention him."
Shen Mingying was telling the truth. As expected, people should be compared directly with each other. Wang Limei felt better when she heard her say this.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Who knows what will happen in the future? Listen to your mother-in-law. Let's just leave it at that. Parents can only accompany their children for a part of the journey. Can they accompany them for their entire lives?"
"Yes, as long as you think it through."
Seeing her mother, who was stuck in a rut, being coaxed into submission by Liang's mother and Shen Mingying with just a few words, Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief.
It just so happened that Uncle Lin had prepared the meal and Liang Lanxiang was responsible for helping to serve the dishes. As the host, Jiang Meishu naturally couldn't just sit there and watch.
She also ran to the kitchen to help.
I have to say that Uncle Lin’s cooking skills are really good. He had abalone stewed with chicken, steamed grouper with clear tuna, deep-fried hairtail, steamed egg with sea urchin, sea cucumber with scallions, plus a plate of roast duck bought from outside and a plate of boiled chicken.
The remaining ones were a dish of tofu with green onions, a candied tomato that the child loved, and fried pumpkin flowers that Liang's mother loved.
I don’t know how Uncle Lin made it, but the fried pumpkin flowers were golden and crispy, and they looked so lifelike.
So when these fried pumpkin flowers came out, they immediately caught the attention of most people.
"Mom, I want to eat this."
As a child, Shen Xiaoju spoke softly.
this--
Jiang Meilan hesitated for a moment, "No one has started eating yet. Can we eat this after we're all seated at the table?"
Although Shen Xiaoju was unhappy, she nodded, “Okay then.”
Uncle Lin frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Liang's mother. He made this fried pumpkin flowers specifically for Wanru.
And only Wanru likes this dish.
Liang's mother smiled gently, "Everyone is a guest, there is no distinction between these, Old Lin."
With her words, Uncle Lin specially placed the plate of fried pumpkin flowers in front of Shen Xiaoju.
Shen Xiaoju was suddenly a little excited, her face flushed, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
It sounds so cute.
This made Uncle Lin's heart melt a little. He patted his head and said, "I've eaten. If you still like it, Grandpa will fry some other snacks for you."
Although Shen Xiaoju was very greedy and wanted it very much, she had a good upbringing after all, so she didn't agree and went to see Jiang Meilan. Jiang Meilan nodded, and Shen Xiaoju then thanked Uncle Lin, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Uncle Lin likes her so much because she is so well-behaved.
As soon as he raised his head, he looked at Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes said it all.
"Do you want to give birth to such a lovely daughter?"
Jiang Meishu's mouth twitched, "Uncle Lin, please don't rush the birth. When Qiu Run and I got married, we had already agreed that we would only have one child, Liang Rui, in this life."
Liang Rui, who was suddenly pointed out, instantly became the focus of everyone. He touched his nose uncomfortably and said, "That was because I was young and ignorant and had a strong possessive desire. I won't do that now."
He glanced at Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun and said, "If you want to give me a brother or sister, I naturally have no objection."
Now, everyone in the room's eyes lit up.
You know, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun have been married for almost ten years, but they still don’t have any children. This is almost the biggest regret in the hearts of all the elders present.
Everyone was staring at her to urge her to give birth, no, they were staring at her belly.
Jiang Meishu was startled and subconsciously hid behind Liang Qiurun. Liang Qiurun knew what she meant, so he stood up and said seriously and calmly, "Jiang Jiang and I will only have one child in this life, Liang Rui."
As for asking Jiang Meishu to give birth to a child, feed the child and put him to sleep, and also to be with her 24 hours a day, Liang Qiurun felt a little suffocated just thinking about it.
This is not a child at all, this is clearly an enemy who is trying to take his wife away.
Unfortunately, not many people can understand this truth.
Fortunately, Liang Qiurun is one of them.
After Liang Qiurun finished speaking, Jiang Meishu nervously grabbed his palm. She was afraid of being criticized by the elders in the family for not having children.
But I don’t want to have children.
For Jiang Meishu, the risks of having a child outweigh the benefits, so she doesn't want to sacrifice her own interests to have a child.
But these elders are not like that. They seem to have a natural spirit of sacrifice and dedication when it comes to passing on the legacy.
Sure enough, everyone had different expressions.
Liang's mother sighed slightly, "If the children don't want to have children, then don't have them." She even tried to persuade her mother-in-law, Wang Limei, "You should also be more open-minded. Children have their own opinions."
Wang Limei: "I'm just worried about them getting old."
Life is miserable without children of your own.
Mother Liang pointed at Liang Rui and said, "They have a child, Liang Rui. You can be assured of this child's character. Although he is a bit rebellious and disobedient, he has a strong character and a soft heart. He has a good foundation. If you train him well, he will definitely be useful in the future."
Liang Rui's mouth twitched at these words, "Grandma, I'm not as bad as you say. No matter what, I'm also a proud child of Tsinghua University."
Liang's mother said coldly, "What's wrong with being the proud son of Tsinghua University? There are still a lot of unfilial parents. So it doesn't matter who you are or which school you graduated from. What matters is that you are filial enough."
Liang Rui was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
"Alright, alright, it's a shame to have a reunion dinner turn into a lecture. Let's eat."
Now, everyone started to eat.
Uncle Lin’s cooking skills are really good. Once he starts eating, no one talks anymore.
The abalone is stewed with chicken. The chicken is stewed until tender and soft. The abalone also absorbs the fragrance of the chicken and is very delicious when chewed.
Jiang Meishu loves this dish so much that she even likes to pour the abalone stewed chicken broth over the white rice so that every grain of rice can absorb the delicious broth. When she puts it in her mouth, she wants to bite off her tongue.
Jiang Meishu couldn't stop eating, and the others didn't seem to give in either.
For a full half hour, no one spoke at the table. After Shen Xiaoju finished eating first, she clapped her hands and said, "Mom, I want to go downstairs and play."
Jiang Meilan moved a chair for her and left her alone, letting her play by herself.
The adults continued to work hard, and in the end, they ate up all the dishes prepared by Uncle Lin.
I even wanted to scrape away the soup.
Liang Rui touched his round belly and said, "This is what it means to eat, Grandpa Lin. I think what I ate in the school cafeteria before was just pig food."
Listen to what this is saying.
Jiang Meishu was about to say his, but the next second, Shen Zhanlie agreed very seriously, "I used to eat pig food too."
Of course, he was beaten by Jiang Meilan for saying this.
After they parted ways, Jiang Meilan twisted Shen Zhanlie's arm and teased him, "You used to eat pig food, so don't eat the food I cook anymore."
"Wife, I was wrong." Shen Zhanlie admitted his mistake very smoothly without any hesitation.
Jiang Meilan was so annoyed that she didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Liang Qiurun brought them here, so naturally he had to send them back.
As soon as they left, the house naturally became quiet.
"Liang Rui, how long will you stay at home this time?"
It was Jiang Meishu who asked.
Liang Rui, "I have to rush to Hong Kong University before August 28th to meet my advisor and make him my new mentor."
Jiang Meishu counted the time on her fingers, "You still have four days left. You can play at home for four days before going to school."
"Um."
Liang Rui lay there and said lazily, "I plan to set up a stall and do some business during these four days to earn some tuition and extra money."
Jiang Meishu raised an eyebrow. "You've already graduated from National Tsing Hua University, and you're still thinking about setting up a stall? Our family is a top student from National Tsing Hua University, but you've never thought about starting some other business?"
At this point, Liang Rui sat up straight, "What business?"
Obviously very curious.
Jiang Meishu, "How many days will you stay with me and your dad?"
Liang Rui shook his head. "Forget it, I want to make a name for myself."
It seems that young children always have this illusion when they grow up, that they want to break away from their parents and make a living in the world. In the end, after experiencing the beatings of society, they find that their parents are still the best.
Jiang Meishu remained noncommittal. "That's fine. I respect your opinion."
She had originally wanted to ask Liang Rui to familiarize himself with the Xiaodongmen project in advance so that he could take over in the future, but she never expected that he was unwilling to do so at all.
Liang Rui keenly sensed something and asked, "You want me to take over?"
Jiang Meishu said, "That's what I meant, but don't you want to?"
"I don't want to." Liang Rui sighed, put his arms behind his head, and looked at the ceiling. "You and my dad are so amazing. This makes me feel pressured, but also makes me want to prove that I am not bad either."
"So whether it's your place or my dad's, I don't want to go for the time being."
He turned his head to look at Jiang Meishu, "I want to go out and try my luck first. If things don't go well, I'll come back and inherit the family business."
"If we do well," he curled his lips, "then our family will be a family of three musketeers."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
"Have you been reading too many martial arts novels recently?"
Liang Rui was a little shocked that Jiang Meishu even knew this, so he immediately kept silent.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 27th, the day Liang Rui was going to report to Hong Kong University. Jiang Meishu, who was originally very busy, and Liang Qiurun put everything on hold.
He specially exchanged 30,000 Hong Kong dollars from Qiao Jiahui and prepared a lot of daily necessities in Pengcheng before sending Liang Rui to report to the school.
Liang Rui was a little surprised when he suddenly realized that they were going to send him to school. "You guys are going with me?"
Jiang Meishu said, "Yeah, if we don't go, what if the human traffickers in Hong Kong sell you off?"
"So your father and I will definitely go. If nothing else, at least we are more familiar with Hong Kong and can protect you when the time comes."
"Of course, your Uncle Qiao is going too."
Uncle Qiao was talking about Qiao Jiahui. When they went to a place like Hong Kong, neither Jiang Meishu nor Liang Qiurun could be as effective as Qiao Jiahui, the local tyrant.
Liang Rui looked at Qiao Jiahui and hesitated.
Qiao Jiahui patted Liang Rui's shoulder nonchalantly and said, "Why call me Uncle Qiao? Just call me Brother Qiao."
"From now on, we'll talk about our own things. When I ask you questions, I'll call you brother, and when you ask me questions, I'll call you brother."
Jiang Meishu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Then ask Liang Qiurun what he yelled about?"
Qiao Jiahui was confused and almost blurted out, "My brother and I are as close as brothers. I shout whatever my brother shouts!"
Liang Rui turned around and called out to Liang Qiurun faintly, "Dad."
Then, he winked at Qiao Jiahui and said, "Are you yelling at me?"
