"Yes, we have known each other since childhood. My aunt and Xin's mother have also known each other since childhood."
Zheng Nanzhou nodded.
"So when is their wedding date?"
Ye Jiaying asked again.
This time Zheng Nanzhou shook his head.
"I haven't heard Mom say that."
Zheng Nanzhou is usually very busy with classes and interest classes, and everyone still treats him as a child, so such things are rarely mentioned in front of Ting.
Ye Jiaying nodded and asked again.
"Xiao Xin, how are your brothers at home?"
"He is older than us, so you should still call him Brother Xin," Zheng Nanzhou reminded.
Ye Jiaying nodded randomly.
"How are his brothers at home? Are they easy to get along with?"
"Brother Xin is the youngest. There are three brothers in my family."
That means I have two older brothers.
The youngest are the most favored, but also the most likely to be marginalized.
I don’t know what my godmother thinks.
Ye Jiaying felt that he might not be suitable for Zheng Anyao.
But it's hard for her to say such things.
We are old friends and have watched each other grow up.
She went up and said, you two are not suitable, what's the big deal.
The four of them walked all the way to the Zheng family's back garden.
Zheng Anyao and her fiancé went to the greenhouse.
Seeing that the two were happily chatting, Ye Jiaying consciously left them some time alone.
He took Zheng Nanzhou to a swing not far from the greenhouse.
She wouldn't say much to a teenager, just that she wanted to play.
By the way, let’s talk about the Li family’s situation.
Although Zheng Nanzhou is young, he is smart and has experienced the relationship between Ye Jiaying and Gu Qinglin before.
Without asking too many questions, he told Ye Jiaying everything he knew.
After all, he grew up in the circle of wealthy people in Hai City, so he knows something about the family situations of his old friends.
Zheng Anyao's fiancé's full name is Li Yixin, the youngest son of the Li family.
The two older brothers are two and five years older than him respectively.
I am 22 years old this year and just returned from studying abroad.
The family business is currently still managed by Li's father, while the eldest and second brothers are in charge of different branches.
Li Yixin studied economics abroad and is now back to help out in the company.
My eldest and second brothers are both married, and they married girls from similar families.
The eldest child of the eldest brother of the Li family is seven or eight years old.
These are what Zheng Nanzhou wrote down when he heard his grandma, great-grandmother, and mother chatting every day.
Although the adults thought he was still young and studying was important, they didn't talk about it much in front of him.
But he was smart and he summarized and concluded from the occasional words and phrases he heard and what he saw in his daily life.
The Li family proposed engagement when Zheng Anyao was about to graduate from high school, and planned to wait for two or three years until Li Yixin had made some progress in the company and Zheng Anyao had finished her studies before getting married.
Ms. Zheng had no objection, but Deng Guangyan was a little reluctant to see his daughter get married so early.
It's just that it's still early, not the time to discuss this matter.
The four of them played in the back garden for the whole morning.
Zheng Anyao was very sensible. The two of them stayed in the greenhouse for a short while before coming out.
The temperature in Hai City is higher than that in Beijing City. When the weather is good, the temperature during the day is around ten degrees. It is very comfortable to bask in the sun and enjoy the breeze outside.
After they stayed outside for a while, Aunt Zhang brought people to bring them tea, snacks and fruits.
I spent the whole morning leisurely, basking in the warm sun and eating.
After lunch, Li’s father had something to do at the company, so he didn’t stay long and left first.
Li's mother took Li Yixin to Zheng's house and said goodbye at around 3 pm.
Before leaving, Li's mother asked them to go out and play together the next day.
Ms. Zheng agreed.
Until the day before they returned to Beijing, Li Yixin would report to the Zheng family every day.
Considering that the two hadn't seen each other for half a year, Ms. Zheng didn't say much.
Soon it was the day before they returned to Beijing.
The school year at Beijing University started early, and Deng Guangyan's godfather also had to go back to Beijing to work, so they set off together.
My godmother gave the job at hand to Uncle Zheng and sent a few people to Beijing.
This time they took a plane.
The Zheng family still arranged for someone to buy the ticket, and Ye Jiaying experienced what it was like to fly on an airplane in the 1980s.
I heard that most of the current civil aviation pilots are retired fighter jet pilots.
It's a bit fierce.
The plane took off very quickly, which made the experience not very good.
The godmother was afraid that Ye Jiaying would be scared of flying for the first time, so she specially comforted her.
Zheng Ganma could never have imagined that Ye Jiaying, whom she thought would be afraid, actually had more experience in flying than she did.
Ye Jiaying didn't feel scared at all, and even felt a little excited.
It's like an upgraded kindergarten roller coaster.
…
The plane arrived at Beijing Airport soon.
After picking up the luggage, the Zheng family’s car in Beijing came to pick everyone up.
Deng Guangyan returned to the small western-style building, packed up, and then reported to the hospital.
They are usually very busy at work and only have about four or five days off during the Chinese New Year.
This time, in order to recognize Ye Jiaying as his goddaughter, he took all the vacation time he had not taken in all these years.
I rested for half a month in total.
After this rest, I will go to the mountains and stay for another year or two.
Ye Jiaying and Zheng Anyao watched from upstairs as Ms. Zheng went to see him off.
Ms. Zheng was saying something while helping him pack his luggage.
Zheng Anyao couldn't hear it, but Ye Jiaying could.
Ms. Zheng told him to be careful and to write home when he has time.
She also told him not to worry about home because she was there.
Ye Jiaying felt that people’s emotions at this time were truly pure and long-lasting.
There are no complaints or conflicts at all, everything is for the development of the motherland and for the cause.
Ms. Zheng got on the car reluctantly and took Comrade Lao Deng directly to his workplace.
Ye Jiaying used the phone downstairs to call Ye's father and mother.
Tell Ye's mother that she is back from Hai City and tell them not to worry.
After hanging up the phone with Ye's mother, she called Gu Qinglin again and told him that she was back.
Gu Qinglin was very happy to receive her call, but he had just returned after the New Year to take on a new project, and it was a critical period, so he couldn't go out to meet her.
His previous joyful expectations could not be realized, and his tone became very low.
Ye Jiaying exclaimed.
She also brought him a gift.
However, it is normal that the institute has confidential projects and you cannot go out at will.
There are many scientists who have secret research projects and have not appeared for three to five years. It is for the sake of the country, and she understands it.
"It's okay, we still have a long time to live together. Don't worry too much about these few days. I'll wait for you."
Ye Jiaying heard that Gu Qinglin sounded really sad, so she hurried to comfort him.
"sorry…"
Gu Qinglin wanted to apologize but was interrupted by Ye Jiaying.
"You're right. No need to say sorry. Work is important. I support you."
Compared to those who couldn't say anything, she was already very satisfied. At least she knew he was busy, instead of suddenly disappearing without a trace, which was scary.
"Well, I might be a little busy later and won't be able to answer your call, but I'll call you as soon as I'm free."
Gu Qinglin felt warm in his heart and quickly made the promise.
