Chapter 147 New Year's Eve
2008 2 Month 6 Day.
New Year's Eve.
The first day of winter vacation for No. 27 Middle School.
Yao Yuan boarded a plane to Beijing.
Returned to Grandpa Yao Shuliang's home.
His parents are still far away in the United States.
There is no Spring Festival there, so work is still very busy.
Yao Shuliang hadn't seen Yao Yuan for half a year. He looked carefully at his handsome grandson and liked him more and more.
"Xiaoyuan, the college entrance examination is just a few months away. Have you considered which university to go to?"
Yao Shuliang was very pleased, as Yao Yuan was the most outstanding one among the third generation descendants of the Yao family.
Since childhood, I have been talked about as someone else's child.
Even though he went to the capital city which had no resources, Yao Yuan was still dazzling, far surpassing the other children in the compound who enjoyed the top resources in the capital.
A true king is worth thousands of troops alone!
Old Yao thought that only the youngest son of the He family could barely compare with his precious grandson.
But he is still not as good as his Xiaoyuan.
As long as Yao Yuan wanted, he could attend any top university in the country.
Thinking of this, Yao Shuliang frowned. There are so many excellent universities in China, but Yao Yuan's mother always wants to send her son to the United States.
He felt unhappy. It was already such a late hour, but he still thought the moon abroad was rounder.
The country is becoming increasingly powerful, and the level of the country's top universities is no worse than that of American universities.
"I haven't considered any specific university, but it certainly won't be abroad. I love my country." After Yao Yuan finished speaking, his eyes gradually softened, as if the girl with the charming smile in front of him was right next to him.
She loves her motherland very much.
She always said that she wanted to devote all her youth to the motherland and contribute to the prosperity and strength of the motherland.
Mr. Yao was very pleased. He knew that his grandson must have the same deep attachment to his country as he did. "Xiaoyuan, you know your mother has always wanted you to go to college in the United States."
"Yes, Grandpa, I know." Of course he knew what his strong mother was thinking, but he also knew that Ruya would not go abroad to study.
So, if she wasn't going abroad, why would he travel so far alone?
Run so far, waiting for Ruya to be chased away by another man?
That is absolutely impossible.
Thinking of his strong daughter-in-law Mei Changjun, Yao Shuliang sighed secretly in his heart and patted Yao Yuan on the shoulder.
"Grandpa supports you." If his daughter-in-law Mei Changjun insists on letting his grandson go abroad, he will lose face and keep his grandson in the motherland!
While he was talking, Mei Changjun's transatlantic call came in.
Although Mei Changjun has always been dissatisfied with Yao Shuliang.
She felt that her other two children were able to hold high political positions thanks to his connections.
They are the only ones who have made a name for themselves in the United States.
But today is Chinese New Year, and the family still has to appear harmonious on the surface during the New Year.
She first politely wished Yao Shuliang a happy new year, and then let Yao Yuan answer the phone.
The mother and son parted unhappily after just a few words.
The topic between the two also revolved around the question of where to go to college.
She insisted that Yao Yuan go to the United States.
Yao Yuan insisted on staying in the country.
The atmosphere was awkward and tense for a moment.
Yao Shuliang took the phone and said, "Changjun, today is Chinese New Year, so let's not discuss these topics. You should hold a shareholders' meeting. Don't let these little things affect your mood. The children have grown up, and we as parents must learn to let go."
After hanging up the phone, Mei Changjun angrily threw the phone.
Learn to let go?
Mei Changjun's face was full of sarcasm.
She stubbornly believed that Yao Shuliang, who was in a high position of power at the time, had arranged the eldest and the youngest.
Mei Changjun sneered. He just let Yao Anshan go.
Ruya at this time.
On New Year’s Eve, the three members of the Ru family gathered at Grandma Ruya’s house.
Since childhood, Ruya has disliked the atmosphere here.
Every time we get together, there is no warmth or affection, and people start comparing themselves to each other as soon as they meet.
Compare income, husbands, children, bags, and jewelry.
Every time, Ruya's family is the one that is outdone...
Ruya's grandmother Qin Caiying gave birth to four children in total. Her husband died early, and she lived a difficult life raising four children alone.
So her brothers and sisters are very filial and respectful to her.
Ru Guohua is the third child. He has an older brother, an older sister and a younger brother.
The eldest brother Ru Guoqiang is Qin Caiying's first son and has a son. As the eldest grandson and the only son who continues the family line of the Ru family, he is naturally loved by the old lady.
The second sister, Ru Yufen, is Qin Shuaiying’s only daughter. The old lady only has this one daughter, so naturally she dotes on her very much.
Old Ru also has a fourth brother, Ru Guoguang, who is 8 years younger than Ru Guohua and can be considered Qin Caiying's late-born son.
Ru Guohua, who was caught in the middle, has been loved by both his father and mother since childhood.
In addition, Ru Guohua married Feng Zhilan and gave birth to a daughter, which made Qin Caiying even less favored.
Qin Caiying has never liked Feng Zhilan. She thinks why should a woman be so pretty? Can she make a living?
A good woman is one who can give birth to a son and serve a good man.
Although she didn't love Ru Guohua, she was still better off than having a stranger.
And this outsider refers to Feng Zhilan.
When Ru Guohua pursued Feng Zhilan, she was not happy because he had a vixen-like face and didn't look like he was cut out for work.
Her silly son Ru Guohua runs to Feng Zhilan's house like a dog every day, totally bringing shame to her.
There is no man who would chase after a woman.
Sure enough, her son Ru Guohua, that idiot, spoiled Feng Zhilan to the heavens after marriage, and didn't let Feng Zhilan do any work. After waiting for a long time, Feng Zhilan got pregnant, but unexpectedly, she gave birth to a girl.
Therefore, Ruya has not been liked by Qin Caiying since she was a child.
From a young age, Ru Ya could feel that her grandmother Qin Caiying was very cold towards her.
Qin Caiying also tried every means, both overtly and covertly, to intimidate Feng Zhilan and put obstacles in her way.
But she was a child after all, and she was always confused by the swordplay of adults.
Ru Guohua has always known that his mother is not a good person, so he cannot confront her head-on. He can only use his own methods to silently protect his wife and daughter.
That means meeting less often.
Qin Caiying thought angrily that she had also been bullied by her mother-in-law in the past. After a lot of effort, she became a mother-in-law, but her son still protected her, so she couldn't even get away with bullying from her mother-in-law even if she wanted to.
Since they met less frequently, Feng Zhilan's life had become better.
However, Chinese New Year is the most traditional festival in China, so Ruya and her family have to go, otherwise they will be criticized.
Feng Zhilan has come to terms with things over the years. In the past, she really treated Qin Caiying as her own mother.
But what I get in return is always being rejected by others.
Her sincerity is worthless in the eyes of her mother-in-law.
How could such a person deserve her sincere treatment?
Therefore, whenever there were festivals, Feng Zhilan went to Qin Caiying's place. She observed all the necessary etiquette, but she didn't say much either. She just ate and drank.
When the time comes, the family of three returns hand in hand to their warm home.
