"Grandpa, are there really aliens in space?" Sheng Wei asked curiously.
Xiao Zhen smiled and replied, "Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove the existence of aliens, the universe is so vast that anything is possible."
Sheng Yi was more interested in the space probe models on display and kept asking questions about the functions and operating principles of the probes. Xiao Zhen answered them in detail one by one, which made the children have a deeper yearning for the mysterious universe.
Afterwards, Guo Huiru took her children back to her hometown in Chalukou, Yuzhou.
Xiao Zhengtang and Wen Yunshu saw them coming from afar and hurried forward to greet them.
"Great-grandfather, great-grandma!" Sheng Yi and Sheng Wei ran over happily and hugged their great-grandfather and great-grandma's legs respectively.
"My dear great-grandsons and great-granddaughters, I have finally welcomed you back!" Xiao Zhengtang smiled with his eyes narrowed into slits, while Wen Yunshu was busy taking out various delicious foods prepared for the children from the house.
The yard of my hometown was once again filled with the laughter of children.
Sheng Yi ran and played in the fields with his friends in the village, chasing colorful butterflies, stopping from time to time to observe the small insects on the roadside, and was full of curiosity about everything in the countryside.
Sheng Wei followed Grandma Zeng to feed the chickens in the yard, watching the chicks fighting for food and giggling all the time.
However, in this warm and joyful atmosphere, Zhenxi's marriage became the focus of the whole family's attention.
The two elderly people, Xiao Zhengtang and Wen Yunshu, were particularly concerned about this and specially summoned Zhenxi's mother, Xie Chengrun, to their hometown in Yuzhou.
On a winter night, the family sat around a warm fireplace, the dancing flames illuminating everyone's face.
Xiao Zhengtang coughed lightly and broke the silence first: "Zhenxi is already grown up, it's time for him to start a family. We have to help him take care of himself."
Xie Chengrun smiled helplessly: "Dad, I am also anxious, but love is a matter of urgency. It depends on Zhenxi's own wishes."
At this moment, Xiao Zhengtang seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I have an idea of a candidate.
The last time I went back to Yuzhou to attend a party, I met Wang Chang, my elementary school classmate from Xiaozhen.
His daughter is the same age as Zhenxi. After graduating from university, she went on to study for a master's degree at Northwestern Polytechnical University.
I've had some contact with her. She's smart, well-educated, and I think she's a good match for Zhenxi."
Wen Yunshu nodded in agreement. "Yes, and I heard that Wang Chang is now the top official in the province next to Gangcheng. He will be transferred to Beijing before the Spring Festival. If these two families can become in-laws, that would be perfect. It would be a wonderful thing to have a close relationship."
Xie Chengrun thought for a moment and said slowly, "It does sound good, but when it comes to relationships, we still have to respect the children's opinions. Besides, the girl might already have a boyfriend."
Xiao Zhengtang slapped his thigh and said confidently, "This is a simple matter. I'll call Xiao Zhen and ask his old classmate to find out if his daughter has a girlfriend. Let's find out the situation first."
As he said that, Xiao Zhengtang couldn't wait to take out his cell phone and call Xiao Zhen.
After the call was connected, Xiao Zhengtang told Xiao Zhen his idea in detail.
"Dad, you have a lot to worry about.
"Okay, I'll find time to ask Wang Chang. But you know, relationships can't be rushed; it all depends on whether the children are destined to be together." Xiao Zhen smiled helplessly on the other end of the phone.
"You should ask about the situation first, and don't always be so perfunctory. Zhenxi is a careless child and doesn't care about his own lifelong affairs. As elders, we should help if we can." Xiao Zhengtang said anxiously.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhengtang looked at everyone and said confidently, "We're just waiting for news from Xiao Zhen. I hope this thing will work out. It's time for our Xiao family to have a happy wedding and have some fun."
The family continued to discuss with each other, imagining the beautiful picture of Zhenxi getting married.
Some people talked about how to decorate the new house, some discussed the lively scene of the wedding, and the small house was filled with expectations and longings for the future.
Xiao Zhen, who was far away in Jinling, couldn't help but fall into deep thought after ending the call with his father.
He was well aware of his father's painstaking efforts, and also knew that it was time to consider Zhenxi's lifelong affairs.
I was thinking about how to ask my old classmates about this in an appropriate way, and what Zhenxi's possible reaction would be when he found out.
The trivial matters of the family and his busy scientific research work are intertwined in his mind at this moment, forming a unique melody in life.
He knew that both scientific research and family affairs were an indispensable and important part of his life, and required him to treat them with care and work hard to coordinate them.
After work, Li Xinmin was driving when Xiao Zhen suddenly said to him, "Xinmin, when you get home, call Sun Chengze and ask him to collect some information about the daughter of my old classmate Wang Chang."
"Okay, Academician, what is this?"
"My old man has taken a fancy to the daughter of my old classmate and plans to introduce her to Zhenxi if he sees a suitable match. But Zhenxi is in the navy, one is in the coastal area and the other is in the northwest region of the mainland. Let's take it one step at a time!" Xiao Zhen said while looking at the email on his tablet.
"Zhenxi is 21 or 22 this year, right? The army is for training people. If the academician is suitable, I think you should find your old comrade Zhang Cheng and transfer Zhenxi to the aerospace force." Li Xinmin suggested.
"We'll see how things go. Only Osa is getting married too, and I'm only 47." Xiao Zhen thought for a moment and said dejectedly...
