Chapter 1945 Never Accommodate
The food was quickly served on the table, Ruiyang also took out a bottle of white wine from the cabinet, but only put a wine glass in front of Duan Yun.

Even though he was engaged, Ruihe was still not eligible to drink with his father.

After everyone was seated, dinner officially began.

"Brother Duan, why don't you bring your sister-in-law here?" Rui He suddenly asked about Xing Xia at this time.

"In such a big company, someone has to stay at home to work. If I go out, he can't go out. If he goes out, I have to stay in the head office." Hearing this, Duan Yun prevaricated.

In fact, for Duan Yun, there are some things that he doesn't want to recall anymore. The reason he is working so desperately now is largely because he wants to use work to divert his emotional helplessness and emptiness.

"Sister-in-law is still very lucky. It is really enviable to find such an outstanding person as Brother Duan." For my other half, even if he fails in his career again in the future, his life will not be useless..."

"You don't even have a date, and you're still talking to us about your relationship." Ruihe laughed when he heard this, haha.

"Yes, Xiaoxue, you have reached the age to talk to someone." Qin Xiaoling also interjected at this time, only to hear her continue: "But with our sister's conditions, there is really no choice in all aspects. I want to find someone It's really not easy to find a boy who is well-matched, but I have a few male classmates in Beijing Normal University. They have good education and family background. They are definitely not as good as you, but they are all very good..."

"It depends on the eye." Ruixue smiled slightly, and then said: "Why do you have to look at family background and education? Even if there is no family background, excellent people are still excellent."

"That's what I said, but I feel that I really want to find someone who is a perfect match for you. This is really too difficult..." Qin Xiaoling said.

"Are you worried that I won't be able to get married?" Ruixue's mouth curled up, and she continued: "I can accommodate everything, but things like feelings can't be accommodated. If I can't be with the person I really like, I would rather live by myself for the rest of my life. Some things just can't be accommodated."

"Okay." Qin Xiaoling stopped talking after hearing that.

In fact, Ruixue's words really surprised several people present, because it is a deep-rooted concept of the older generation that men should marry and women should marry. A rigid need, no choice at all.

However, times have changed the traditional marriage. When Duan Yu was just reborn in the early 80s, some signs of free love and love had just emerged at that time. When Duan Yun and his ex-wife Cheng Qingyan first started dating, during the day They didn't dare to be too affectionate, for fear of being caught as hooligans, and at night, only on the side of the street with no street lights, the two dared to hold hands together. Kiss for the first time.

By the 90s, people's thinking was no longer so conservative. It is very common for young people to fall in love freely. In many cases, they don't need to look at their parents' faces. The gap is getting bigger and bigger, so many women have begun to become more and more materialistic in terms of mate selection.

Finding a rich partner, this choice cannot be said to be wrong, because since ancient times, women have more often pursued "high climbing" rather than "marrying down" when it comes to marriage. Wealth and status have always been the measure of success The standard of men, before the 80s, because the income of the nationals was not much different, so as long as you have a job and are in good health, you don’t have to worry about finding a partner. If you are tall, handsome, and your parents are intellectuals or cadres, you can also Being a nice plus, but generally speaking, girls didn't have much to pick and choose in that era.

But in this year, with the widening income gap among Chinese people, and the influence of some Hong Kong, Taiwan, European and American cultures, women nowadays are becoming more and more independent. They also have their own ideas and understandings about love and marriage. Since this era, the marriage age of men and women has begun to be too high, and even in some first-tier cities, "leftover women" has become a social problem. There are many reasons for this result, but generally speaking, it is a big To a certain extent, it stems from women's yearning for a perfect marriage.

Speaking of which, Ruixue is only 25 years old now, but in the eyes of her parents, relatives and friends, she has already reached the age to discuss marriage, but for Ruixue herself, she has no such urgency at all, and she is not prepared to Get married and get married.

In fact, considering Ruixue's current family background and his own various conditions, it is not easy, or even difficult, to find a young man who is well-matched in all aspects.

Before this, it's not that Ruiyang and his wife hadn't thought about this issue for their daughter, but this matter really gave them both a headache. On the one hand, it was indeed very difficult to find a well-matched boy who was about the same age as Ruixue At least among the high-level cadres who worked with Ruiyang, the children were basically older, and there were no suitable candidates for the acquaintances who looked at each other.

Another point is that compared to Ruixue, Ruiyang and his wife should pay more attention to their son's marriage, because their son Ruihe is the foundation of their family's future. As for their daughter Ruixue, they don't actually have high hopes for her.

This also makes Ruixue still single until now, and there are many boys she pursues around, many of them are very good, but Ruixue is not moved at all, and spends most of her time on her work.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit dull, Ruiyang quickly changed the subject. He began to ask about Duan Yun's recent career development in Shenzhen, and the two also raised their glasses to drink.

During this period, Duan Yun talked about some things when he and Ruiyang were in Daxing back then, which also brought back many memories of Ruiyang.

In fact, at that time, Ruiyang was at a low point in his life and career. He gave up his stable job as a BJ and came to Shanxi to start from the grassroots. The legendary state-owned enterprise worker, the two met by chance and luck.

From large-scale events, to Shenzhen, and then to Shanghai, Ruiyang and Duan Yun began to tell each other the struggle history of these two years, with disappointment, excitement, emotion, and helplessness.

And Ruixue was sitting beside her father at this time, listening to Duan Yun's history of starting a business with great interest, her clear eyes gradually became blurred...
