Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 71 stubborn Chu Hongmei

He returned home in about ten minutes. When he was at the door, he shook the snow off his body, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Jiang Baichuan, Chu Hongmei and Chu Xiaoman, who were sitting around watching tv, all turned to look at him. Chu Xiaoman asked, "Brother Four, it's so cold outside. Where have you been?"

"I have something to do outside." Jiang Chuheng didn't want to tell them the truth so that his mother wouldn't think too much.

"It's freezing outside. What can't be handled during the day? We have to wait until night. First, come and bake by the fire to get rid of the cold." Chu Hongmei was scolding his son, and he felt that his son was hiding something from her.

Auntie wu, the nanny at home, brought jiang chuheng a cup of hot tea with an extremely good look, and then quietly sat back to watch tv.

This time, before Jiang Chuheng could speak, Jiang Baichuan said unhappily, "Hong mei, chu heng is already an adult. He doesn't need to report everything to his parents. He should have his own private space. Don't interfere too much."

Chu Hongmei pursed her thin lips. She wanted to say that her three sons and one daughter had never told her anything about themselves since she was a child. Only her niece, xiao man, would share small talk with her. Even if she wanted to interfere, she couldn't find a way in.

Jiang Baichuan didn't want to say much about this, so he changed the subject, "Chu heng, two days ago, Chu Qi called back and said that everything in m country has been settled. She will be back before chinese new year. She has already bought the plane ticket for december 26." He had thought that his daughter would not be able to return to china until next year, but he did not expect her to come back this year for the new year. At that time, he was so happy. She had been gone for four years, and he had never been back in the middle of it.

Jiang Chuheng's eyes lit up and a gentle and happy smile appeared on his face. "The last time I called, my sister said that things were going well over there. If things went well, it would be possible to return home a year ago. I didn't expect to come back early."

"Well, it's good to be back. It's not easy for a girl to live abroad. It's better to go back and develop." Jiang Baichuan was in a special position, so he knew more about it naturally. The international students had unlimited scenery on the surface, but in fact, they had to experience a lot of unimaginable hardships behind their backs.

Jiang Chuheng put down the teacup and said calmly, "The communication major my sister studied there has a good future. The domestic market is just starting. It's the best time for her to come back and develop."

"Well, I talked to Chu Qi on the phone. She didn't plan to enter a research institute. When she came back, she was going to join and invest in an old friend, a newly established private telecommunications company, and participate in the independent development of core technology for telecommunications infrastructure. I've sent someone to check on this private company these days. Her friend is a capable young man, and he's from a military background. Dad really appreciates this young man. But now the company is still in the initial stage of development, and every step is very difficult.

Dad wanted Chu Qi to enter the research unit and follow your second brother's path, but she didn't want to. She's a very determined and stubborn child. She can't even pull back the eight cows she has decided on. She's finally willing to go back, and we can't talk much about it. We want to wait for her to come back and persuade her. "Jiang Baichuan never interfered with the children's affairs in the past, but he could not help but cherish his only daughter. Her daughter had suffered a lot outside these years, and he only hoped that she would have a comfortable and peaceful life when she returned home.

Dad, my sister must have made such a decision after careful consideration. She has been abroad for so many years, and her experience in this area is far superior to that of the layman. She decided to give up the better opportunities abroad and the prestigious research institutions at home, but chose this newly started private enterprise, which showed that this enterprise had a development prospects and was worth her stay and investment. You don't have to persuade her about this anymore. Let her go according to her own choice." Jiang Chuheng believed in her sister's vision, so he supported her unconditionally.

Hearing his son say this, Jiang Baichuan pondered for a long time and sighed, "Okay, just do what she wants."

"Old jiang, this can't be done according to chu qi. This is about her future career. We can't make such a hasty decision." Chu Hongmei was very dissatisfied with jiang chuqi's decision, but when she thought of the relationship between mother and daughter, she dared not say her thoughts in front of her, so she had to tidy up her husband.

Now that her youngest son had convinced her husband who was still on her side in just a few words, she became anxious and sat up straight to look at her indifferent son. "Chu heng, your sister's desire to join her friend's business is likely to be disgraceful. Mother feels that her consideration of this matter is really inappropriate. Also, a small business must have no capital or background to support it. Your sister is a top student who has returned from studying abroad. It's really overkill to enter such a small business. If you stay there for a few years and don't get any results, you'll lose face, and then you won't have a better unit to go to if you choose another job."

Jiang chuheng frowned and asked in a faint tone, "Mom, do you think your sister really can't get away with it? How many friends and classmates did she have from kindergarten to her master's degree? There are countless people she knows who want to climb up to the The jiang family through her. What did she do for you and dad because she couldn't get away with it?"

Chu Hongmei choked and pursed his lips, "No." No daughter, no three sons, but xiao man mentioned two small things.

Chu Xiaoman, who was sitting by the side, also remembered some things from the past and lowered his head slightly awkwardly.

"In that case, she made such a decision not because of her friend's face. What's more, there are many students who have returned from studying abroad who choose to start their own business instead of joining the national units. How much capital can they have? They were all talented students who started small businesses. Were they really overqualified? No matter which line of work you are in, if you succeed, you will naturally fail. How can someone who dares not even face failure succeed? Which successful person does not stand out from countless failures? Is it really important for your sister to realize her value in life, or is it more important for you to care about your face?" Jiang Chuheng asked back everything his mother had just said. He knew his mother very well, but it was just a matter of comparison.

What he said made hong mei speechless. She now felt that Jiang Chuheng was the most capable of the five children. Every time he came back, he would contradict himself on Chu Qi's matters. He was proud but also sad.

"I'm doing this for Chu Qi's own good. She's been through a lot of hard work outside. Now that she's back in the country, working nine to five days at a research institute is easier than working hard at a private company. She's twenty-six years old now, and the most important thing is to get married to a partner. Work can be the second most important thing." Chu Hongmei never agreed with her daughter's decision. Even if they all supported her, she would not agree with it in her heart. Besides, she knew that it was impossible for her to disagree with her. They would not listen to her, and she was annoyed to think that the children would not listen to her when they grew up.

Jiang Chuheng also understood what his mother was worried about and softened his tone, "Mom, sister's marriage is the most important thing in the family right now, but it's also the most sensitive thing. We don't know anything about her personal matters right now. Don't worry about your actions so that she won't be disgusted again. I'll find a chance to talk to her."

"Okay. About work, you..."

Before Chu Hongmei could finish his sentence, Jiang Chuheng interrupted, "I will not persuade her about her work. I will support her unconditionally. Even if their business collapses in the end, I believe my sister will not regret it. If you fail, you can start all over again. No one can succeed once. I believe in my sister, and I hope you all believe in her. Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if she lost all her money and went bankrupt, our The jiang family could support her as long as she was happy and fulfilled in this business."

At this point, the last hesitation in Jiang Baichuan's heart dissipated and he stood on his side completely, "Okay, just listen to chu heng. This matter is up to chu qi's own decision. Chu heng is right. Even if Chu Qi ends up losing everything, our The jiang family will be able to support her."

"Old jiang!" Chu Hongmei was furious.

Jiang Baichuan waved her hand and motioned for her to stop talking. He knew exactly what the people who had been with him for decades were thinking. He didn't want to argue with her about it anymore.

"You can just let Chu Qi do what he wants. If that happens one day, we'll see how you end up. I'm just an outsider in this family. You don't take my words seriously now. All of you have your own opinions. You're all great. Your wings have hardened. I can't control you anymore." Chu Hongmei's heart was blocked and her eyes were red. She got up and went back to her room angrily.

"Auntie..." Chu Xiaoman looked at the jiang family father and son hesitantly, and still chased after them.

Looking at their departing figures, Jiang Baichuan sighed deeply and said in a heavy voice, "Your mother doesn't know what's going on. She's getting more and more paranoid. She doesn't listen to anyone else's words. She just wants you to follow the way she thinks. Your eldest brother and second brother don't like to come home anymore. They come over every weekend for a meal like a routine, and then they leave. They don't even want to hear your mother's nagging."

Jiang Chuheng did not know about this and frowned. It was a little serious, "Dad, brother and brother are now stable in their career and harmonious in their family. What does mother want to talk about?"

"Hey, your mother's mind is filled with all sorts of messy things every day. She's not trying to get more things for them before I retire. She's urging them to take care of their work as soon as she sees them. Both of them were extremely disgusted with this method and directly rejected her proposal. She had said it more times and they were also very upset. Also, you know your brother's temperament. He never told his family about his troubles, but your mother went too far and called his office half a month ago to talk about it. Hey, your brother came to me specifically last week to talk about this, and his face was so ugly that it was dripping with water."

Jiang Baichuan had a headache when she mentioned this. Last week, after her two sons left, she gave Chu Hongmei a very serious scolding about her style and explained to her bit by bit how it would affect her son. After two hours, she reluctantly agreed not to talk about it again.

"I think mom is really old and confused. If she did this, she would hurt big brother. She even called his office to say that she... How did she become so insignificant now?" Jiang Chuheng found it inconceivable that although his mother had some small thoughts in the past, she was not such an ungrateful person. What on earth had affected her?

"Hey, I asked Auntie wu. She said that your mother spent most of the day in the yard, dancing in the auditorium with the military family members in the morning, taking a lunch break at home in the afternoon, watching tv, then going to the family area to chat with other women, and occasionally going shopping together." Jiang Baichuan had some vague guesses in his mind, but he didn't say them directly.

From his father's words, he could tell that his mother spent most of her time with the family members. Jiang Baichuan naturally knew what they were talking about. It's not like my son got promoted. My daughter's love for someone is so good. Listening to this every day, his mother's desire to compete began to play a part. That's what happened.

The father and son were silent, and the living room was filled with the melodious echo of the last song of the tv series.

At this time, Chu Xiaoman returned to the living room, feeling a little depressed, "Father of Aunt, Brother Four, aunt is in a bad mood. I advised her to sleep."

"Yes. Xiao man, sit down." Jiang Baichuan took a cup of hot tea that Auntie wu had just bought and suggested, "Xiao man, you have a winter vacation. Take more time to spend with your aunt. You, elder sister third, are coming back. You and your aunt are going shopping at the mall these days. Get her some new bedding and buy some new clothes yourself."

Chu Xiaoman replied, "Okay, we'll go tomorrow."

Living in the same courtyard, it was impossible to keep Chu Hongmei away from other military families. The only solution was for her family to slowly guide her out of that dead end.

Chu Xiaoman came back this winter vacation feeling that the atmosphere at home was strange, but she couldn't tell where it was strange. Her aunt had just quarreled with father of Aunt Brother Four, and she felt that both sides were quite right. She didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to change the subject, "Brother Four, I heard from Zhou Yunyang today that you and brother yue yang are going to Hushi in a few days. I want to play too. Can I go with you?"

Jiang chuheng nodded, "Sure."

Chu Xiaoman was so happy that Brother Four agreed, and she would take the time tomorrow to change the tickets she had already bought.
