Old Master Cheng nodded continuously as he listened. If the Zhong family's parents had this awareness, the younger generation would not be far behind. "This is very good. Life will be easier when you have money. If you also study hard, your family will get better and better in the future. With an older sister as a role model, the younger brothers and sisters will be more motivated." Because they had a clear goal.
"You're right. Life at home is much better now. I send some of my monthly salary back home to help with the family expenses. Once my younger brothers and sisters finish school, our family will be able to really relax." Zhong Yuan was all smiles, talking to Grandpa Cheng as if he were chatting about family matters.
Before she knew it, Zhong Yuan had lost all the family's wealth.
Old Master Cheng listened with a smile, not a bit impatient, and would occasionally agree. Later, when they had almost finished talking, Old Master Cheng asked her, "Now that you two have confirmed your relationship, what are your plans for the future?"
"I was a little worried and hesitated for a while, but Cheng Minglang convinced me. We plan to meet the parents first to confirm our relationship and get engaged."
"Okay! I'll go in person whenever I see your parents. I haven't been to the countryside for a long time, so I'll take the opportunity to visit the countryside while I'm meeting my in-laws."
Yan Guofeng: You may not know that Hongxing Village is also a rural area!
Zhong Yuan smiled widely. "Thank you, Grandpa. But I can't rush. I have to wait for a long holiday. The hospital is so busy every day that it's hard to ask for leave. If I wait until the holidays, combined with the vacation time I saved up, I'll have more time to go back and forth."
"That's right. You've thought it through. Unlike Xiao Si, he's not as thorough as you." Old Master Cheng said, "Let me know when you've decided."
Cheng Minglang said, "I understand, Grandpa."
Old Master Cheng was so happy that when everyone came back to eat in the evening, he ate an extra bowl of rice. On the way back, Old Master Cheng took Cheng Minglang's car and first sent Zhong Yuan to the hospital dormitory before going back.
On the way back, Grandpa Cheng asked his grandson, "We're going to meet the girl's parents and finalize the marriage. What are your thoughts on the betrothal gift?"
"I will just give the same amount of betrothal gifts as my older brothers gave to my sister-in-law." He would add a little more in private, and on the surface give the same amount as his sisters-in-law. Otherwise, it would be difficult for his partner to get along with his sisters-in-law after he got married.
"Okay, since you've said that, I won't say anything else. It's up to you how much you want to add. When our family gave betrothal gifts to your sisters-in-law, we also contributed some from the public fund, and your brothers added some privately. How much you want to add depends entirely on your own feelings. If you're willing, then add more. If you're not, then you don't have to add anything."
He knew all these things, but he also knew that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings; it was they who lived their lives, and it was up to them how they wanted to live. As long as they didn't get into trouble, he didn't want to interfere.
Unfortunately, after so many years, there is still no great-grandchild in the family. Fortunately, the Yan family was lucky and had three children at once.
After returning home, Mr. Cheng immediately called Cheng Minglang's parents and told them about the betrothal gift. Cheng Minglang's parents said that they also wanted to add some, and as long as their daughter-in-law was a good one, it would be okay for them to give more money, and family background and status would not be an issue.
That was the deal, and Zhong Yuan's original plan to borrow money was shelved. Instead, she privately told Cheng Minglang that she wanted to buy land and build a house in the village, so that she and Yuxiu would be closer and more convenient to visit, and they could get together during holidays. How convenient!
Cheng Minglang had no objection and bought a house site with several brothers. The house site they bought was large; each person had five acres, which was enough for not only building a house but also for developing farmland. The site was surrounded by a wall, so no one could see what was going on inside.
There is enough free space for both planting and maintaining health.
After the blind date and outing, Zhong Yuxiu returned to her work and attended the wedding of Cheng Minglang and Zhong Yuan. She then returned to the laboratory and over the next few decades, she developed many technologies that benefited the country and the people, even thermal weapons and medicines.
Despite his outstanding achievements, he has never been interviewed in a formal setting.
When the three children grew up, Liji had good physical fitness and high intelligence. After graduating from military school, he joined the army and inherited his grandfather's network of contacts and career.
A group of people with high intelligence, deep scheming and dark hearts chose to go into politics.
Li Zhen is a child with strong hands-on ability. No one expected that Li Zhen, who was the most active when she was young, could settle down and choose to pursue a career in scientific research. She learned from her mother, with her mother leading the way in front and her senior brother Fu Xiangbei protecting her from behind. After Li Zhen entered the society, Fu Xiangbei had already become a capable scientific research talent, a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Compared with Zhong Yuxiu of that year, although she is inferior, her brilliance is not overshadowed.
The Fu family was not completely in decline because of Fu Xiangbei; but this was only the case with Fu Xiangbei's branch. After the death of Mr. Fu, the other branches had no one to help them and gradually declined.
With the concerted efforts of several brothers, Yan Rushan's company took ten years to expand across all provinces in the country; it greatly boosted the overall economy and made outstanding contributions. The products produced by his company are backed by the above and have good quality, making them the best choice for the Chinese people.
In the same industry, when people want to buy something, they will first choose products produced by Jinshan Group. It will occupy the top position in the domestic economy for hundreds of years to come and is also the leading enterprise and navigation of the domestic industry.
Among Yan Rushan's brothers, Luo Lijun and Wu Chao never married in their lives. They were romantic and had children. Cao Zheng met and fell in love with a female college student in the company and eventually got married.
Lin Kai met a woman while on a business trip and had a relationship with her, but the relationship ended without a happy ending and he never married.
Dean Xu later moved to Yuxiu to retire. Mr. Yan and Dean Xu lived to be 108 years old. Before they died, they witnessed six generations living under the same roof and died with a smile on their faces.
Dean Xu looked at his apprentices who had many children and grandchildren, and he also enjoyed decades of being surrounded by his children and grandchildren in his later years.
Because there was no one in the family to inherit the company, Yan Rushan worked until he was 70 years old before handing the company over to one of his grandsons; after that, he followed Zhong Yuxiu to learn about scientific research, helping her and accompanying her. Although they could not retire together, they could work together until death.
The rest of your life will be stable and fulfilling.
