Chapter 423: Get engaged first?
Chapter 423: Get engaged first?
"So Luo Ming was like this when he was a kid! My Wenwen was much cuter when she was a kid than she is now.
When I gave birth to Wenwen, I suffered a heavy bleeding and injured my body. I could not have any more children afterwards. After I knew that Wenwen was my only child, I have been very doting on her since she was young.
Later, due to work reasons, Lao Lin and I went to work in the capital, and Wenwen temporarily stayed in her hometown to be taken care of by her grandparents.
When the elderly take care of the child, they hold the child in their hands for fear of the child falling, and hold the child in their mouths for fear of the child melting. This has led to Wenwen being somewhat spoiled.
When Wenwen was 12 years old, her grandmother died of a heart attack. By that time, my husband and I had established ourselves in the capital, so we simply took the child over.
After arriving at the imperial capital, we discovered that the child had become a little lawless.
We put a lot of effort into correcting this child's character, and later we even brought out her cousin to serve as a role model for her.
With the efforts of many parties, the child finally did not grow up astray. However, because we were too strict with her in the past few years, she developed a rebellious mentality. When she was a senior in college, she participated in a TV series, and then signed a contract with Huayue Entertainment and entered the entertainment industry. "
Hearing this, Cao Hongying suddenly understood. She had found it strange before. Lin Haizhou and Zhou Qingping are both top biological scientists in the country, so why would their daughter enter the entertainment industry?
The phrase "the son follows in his father's footsteps" is not just a saying in China and even in the whole of East Asia.
Whenever the elders in the family have achieved success in a certain industry, they will subconsciously train their children to take over.
Take Zhou Qingping for example, the Zhou family is a medical family.
Zhou Qingping's great-great-grandfather was a doctor. When he was young, he learned medical skills from the imperial doctor, especially acupuncture and massage.
After he finished his apprenticeship, before he could become an imperial physician, the Ming Dynasty fell, so he had to open his own clinic.
In this way, Zhou Qingping's family has been doctors since his great-great-grandfather. By the time of his grandfather's generation, due to a certain incident, the medical books and prescriptions that had been passed down in the family for more than 100 years were burned, and the entire set of gold needles was gone.
Later, when the matter was settled, the golden needles were returned, but the book and the prescription were gone.
Fortunately, Zhou Qingping's grandfather and father were very capable and wrote down some prescriptions, so the family's ancestral acupuncture and massage techniques were not interrupted.
When it came to Zhou Qingping's generation, her father began to intentionally train his children to study medicine. Now Zhou Qingping's two elder brothers are in Sichuan. One is the vice president of a Class III hospital, and the other has taken over his father's job and become a attending doctor in the family's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Zhou Qingping's interest in biological sciences and her eventual career in this field were probably due to the strong medical atmosphere at home.
Cao Hongying naturally didn't know that Zhou Qingping's family in Sichuan was a medical family, but she also had a deep understanding of the idea of sons inheriting their father's business.
Let’s not talk about things far away, let’s just talk about their school. The current deputy director of the education department of their school is the principal’s son.
That's why Cao Hongying was so surprised that Lin Shuwen did not follow in her father's footsteps and instead entered the entertainment industry.
But now Cao Hongying is no longer surprised.
Once a child's rebellious nature arises, it is impossible to suppress it.
Just like the second child in their family, Cao Hongying always felt that Luo Yi was much cuter when he was a child than he is now.
Luo Yi was relatively well behaved when he was a child, unlike now when he always has a sour face.
"Gold will shine wherever it is. Wenwen is doing pretty well in the entertainment industry now!" Cao Hongying said with a smile.
"That's because she met your Luo Ming, who built up such a huge family business in just over a year. To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is a game of capital.
When Wenwen became capital, naturally no one in the entertainment industry dared to offend her.
If it weren't for Luo Ming, it wouldn't be so easy to get into this circle. Wenwen seemed to have some status in the entertainment industry before, and her popularity was relatively high among second-tier stars.
Not to mention second-tier stars, even first-tier stars can be counted on one hand in Huayue Entertainment. If Wenwen wants to stand out, she has to compete with these people. Even if her agent treats her better, it doesn't mean much. The key still depends on herself.
But Wenwen is not a competitive person. She just has a strong self-esteem and a bit of the literary temperament of me and her father, and she can't let go of herself.
This kind of people are actually not suitable for the entertainment industry, and I have always been worried about her.
So when I found out that she had invested in a company and that it was successful, I felt relieved.”
After hearing what Zhou Qingping said, Cao Hongying smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't true? I have been worried about this child of mine. He has been introverted since he was young. Although he met a good friend after graduating from high school, he only has this one friend.
I was very worried about whether he could adapt to the competition in society, but what I didn't expect was that after entering society, this child chose to start his own business with his only friend.
At first I thought it wasn’t a good idea to do business with a good friend. Lao Luo had previously opened a small shop with his comrade-in-arms, but they eventually lost all their money and the two of them never had anything to do with each other again because of things that happened in the shop.
I wanted to persuade him at that time, but then I thought, some things have to be experienced by yourself to be unforgettable. So I chose to turn a blind eye and let him try it!
As a result, this kid really gave me a big surprise. I really didn’t expect them to succeed, and their success far exceeded my imagination.
At this time, I realized that the child had grown up, and compared with Lao Luo and me, Luo Ming was better adapted to this society.
In this case, there is no need for us as parents to say anything more. We just need to support our children’s decision.”
Zhou Qingping smiled when she heard that. She felt that Cao Hongying was more open-minded than her. She still felt that she could not let go of her daughter completely and wanted to keep an eye on her life. Otherwise, Zhou Qingping would not have gone to Luo Ming's house on the third day of the New Year.
The two parents had a great conversation and at noon they went to the booked hotel to have lunch together.
At the dinner table, Cao Hongying suddenly said, "Since both our families have no objection to having children, why don't we get the two children engaged first?"
"I have no objection. It mainly depends on what the children think." After saying that, Zhou Qingping turned and looked at Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen.
Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen were both stunned for a moment. They originally thought that neither family's parents would be so anxious about engagement or marriage.
I didn't expect that the two parents would suddenly bring up this matter.
Lin Shuwen winked at Luo Ming, and Luo Ming cleared his throat and said, "Ahem! Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt, I think it's best to get engaged and married within a year. We don't plan to get married next year. We are still young and want to have fun for another two years."
Zhou Qingping and Cao Hongying looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had also thought about what their children’s attitude would be.
The question just now was just a test. It would be embarrassing if the children want to get married and the parents don’t understand their wishes.
Fortunately, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen have no intention of getting married this year.
"Since you have no intention of getting married for the time being, let's forget about the engagement!" After Zhou Qingping said this, the matter was over.
The two families continued to eat and chat, it was very lively.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two families came out of the hotel after having a good meal and a good drink.
On this occasion today, Luo Jianguo and Lin Haizhou both drank quite a bit of alcohol, so it was impossible for them to drive. So the drivers naturally became Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen.
Luo Ming drove his car to take Luo Jianguo, Cao Hongying, Luo Yi and Luo Fei home.
Lin Shuwen drove Lin Haizhou's car to take her parents home.
On the way, Cao Hongying asked Luo Jianguo: "Lao Luo, what do you think of the Lin family?"
"It's great! Brother Lin and I got along very well last year, and we feel even better now that we're in-laws this year."
"That is to say, you are quite satisfied with the Lin family, right?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied! Brother Lin and his wife are both university professors. They don't look down on me, a junior high school student. Why should I be dissatisfied?"
Cao Hongying smiled when she heard this: "It's a rough statement, but it makes sense. That's right."
"Then, wife, what do you think of the Lin family?" Luo Jianguo asked back.
"I didn't talk much with Lin Haizhou, so it's hard to say what I think of him. Zhou Qingping is not arrogant, and we rarely get along. She is also very concerned about the children, especially their education.
When Leilei and Wenwen have children in the future, she, as their grandmother, will definitely be willing to help take care of them as long as she is free.
The only drawback is that the Lin family has an only daughter. Our son is married to Wenwen, so he will spend the New Year at Wenwen's house once a year and at our house once a year. "
"It doesn't matter. We have more than one son, right Zhuangzhuang?" Luo Jianguo asked with a smile.
Luo Yi curled his lips and said nothing. Expecting him to get married? Then they have a lot of time to wait. He hasn't met a girl that makes his heart beat!
On the other side, a similar conversation took place in the Lin family’s car.
"Lao Lin, what do you think of the people in the Luo Ming family?"
"Brother Luo and I get along quite well. He and I have talked about many things. I feel that he is a good person. Although he does not have a high level of education, he is upright, responsible, and accountable. The son raised by such a person will definitely have good character."
Zhou Qingping smiled and said, "Old Lin, I believe in your judgment. I also think Cao Hongying is a good person. She speaks in a generous and elegant manner. When Wenwen marries her, there shouldn't be any scenes of vicious mothers-in-law bullying their daughters-in-law."
"Is this matter settled then?" Lin Haizhou asked.
"Well, let's make it this way! Wenwen, if you two don't plan to get married next year, I can put it off for a year, but you can't put it off for too long, two years! You must get married within two years, okay?"
