Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 81 Jiang Chuqi

At this time, the The jiang family in the capital city was also full of joy, because Jiang Chuqi, the daughter of the The jiang family, was coming back today.

Jiang Chuyan and Jiang Chuke came back early today with their wives and children. At this time, all of their work was on new year's holiday. The two brothers were talking with Jiang Baichuan in the living room. The two daughters-in-law were helping Chu Hongmei prepare dinner in the kitchen. The two children, Jiang Zitong and Jiang Zicong, were playing with toy trains in the small living room.

Around 5: 30 pm, Jiang Chuheng drove Chu Xiaoman to the airport to pick up his sister.

At half past six, they returned to the The jiang family and started dinner at exactly seven.

Looking at his tall, slender, mature, and less cheerful and lively daughter, Chu Hongmei's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he kept smiling to give her food to eat.

Today, Jiang Baichuan opened the red wine that his daughter brought back from abroad to honor him. After a few drinks and a few drinks with everyone, everyone's chatterbox was opened. It was rare for brothers and sisters to get together and chat.

After dinner, Jiang Chuqi distributed gifts to everyone, one for each of them, including Auntie wu, who had worked in the The jiang family for nearly 20 years.

At half past eight, the door of the The jiang family was knocked on.

Auntie wu got up and went to open the door. When she saw someone outside, her eyes flashed and she said politely, "It's Jinglai, bingqing and Yujie. Come in."

The smile on the jiang family's face, which was originally full of smiles, faded a little. Even chu hongmei was slightly stunned. Then she looked at Jiang Chuqi with a complicated expression.

Jiang Chuqi's eyes turned slightly and collided with her mother's. She calmly withdrew her gaze and looked expressionless at the door.

"Uncle jiang, auntie jiang, two eldest brothers and sisters-in-law, good evening. The three of us have just returned to find out that Chu Qi has returned to china. We came here specially to visit. Didn't we disturb your family's gathering?" Sun Jinglai, who was wearing a navy cashmere coat, greeted politely. He was above average in appearance and size. He had a round face unique to the sun family and a slightly plump figure. He looked very blessed when he smiled.

"No, Jinglai, bing qing, Yujie, sit down." Jiang Baichuan, as the head of the family, naturally wanted to greet him.

Sun Jinglai smiled his signature smile and turned to look at Jiang Chuqi, who was sitting motionless on the sofa in a black down jacket, and greeted him warmly, "Chu Qi, it's been a long time. You haven't changed at all these years."

"Long time no see. You're about the same. Please take a seat." Jiang Chuqi's tone was distant and polite.

"Elder sister Chuqi, long time no see." Sun Bingqing and Sun Yujie sat down with their brother.

Jiang Chuqi smiled. "Long time no see. You've all grown up to be tall and slim."

Auntie wu brought hot tea to the three of them, added fruit and various snacks to the coffee table in front of them, and quietly retreated.

"Chu Qi, are you coming back for the new year, or are you planning to develop in the country for a long time?" Sun Jinglai took the initiative to talk.

Jiang Chuqi's attitude was neither salty nor bland, "It's not over for the time being."

"It's good to go back to china. Now it's time for the country's telecommunications sector to take off, and it's time for professionals like you to show off your skills." Sun Jinglai was quite optimistic about the prospects of this area, and also intended to start on this aspect, probing the news tentatively: "This time back, have you found a good unit?"

"Yes, I have." Jiang Chuqi said lightly.

"Oh? Which unit is it?" Sun Jinglai had other thoughts in her mind, but now that she had found a job, her plan had to change again.

Jiang Chuqi had been abroad for so many years, and she still looked at people with a certain look. She was no longer as immature as before. Since he wanted to know, she told him truthfully, "It's a private enterprise run by an old friend who developed communication infrastructure. I invested in technology and planned to explore the domestic communication market first."

Sun Jinglai thought she had joined a research institute, but he didn't expect to start a business with someone else. His eyes flickered a little, but he quickly reacted when he saw the scene. His smile widened a little. "There are many returnees who have studied abroad for many years now. They are all doing very well. The communication industry is a new but promising industry. I'm sure you can do a lot with your ability."

"Let me borrow your good words." Jiang Chuqi smiled slightly.

When Sun Bingqing and Sun Yujie heard that Jiang Chuqi was going to work in a private company, the jiang family's face was normal. It seemed that they did not object, and their expressions had changed subtly.

The change did not escape Jiang Chuqi's eyes. Instead, the smile on her lips widened a little and changed the subject to them. "Where are bingqing and Yujie studying at now?"

Sun Bingqing was wearing a white down jacket today, a bright red scarf around his neck, exquisite makeup, and bright red lipstick. He looked more charming than usual. Hearing her question, she answered with a gentle smile, "I'm a sophomore in the geography department of Beijing university, and Yujie is also studying financial accounting at the same school. I just entered my freshman year."

The two of them had good grades in ordinary families, but they were really not outstanding in this courtyard. Naturally, Jiang Chuqi would not show it. She maintained her original smile and said, "Very good. Girls learn these major very well. In the future, the job will be stable, and the treatment in the unit will not be bad."

"How can we compare with elder sister Chuqi? The communication engineering you are studying is the most promising major." Sun Bingqing actually admired Jiang Chuqi. There were fewer girls in this major at present. Although it was easy to find a job, it was hard.

Jiang Chuqi looked relaxed and chatted with her. Communication engineering is currently the hottest profession in china and even the world. Every country supports it vigorously and gives preferential treatment in policy, which also increases the pressure of communication talents. Although the industry has a good future, the employees are very hard. Working overtime all night is a common occurrence."

Many people in the living room changed slightly when they heard that "Working all night is a common occurrence," especially Chu Hongmei.

Elder sister Chuqi, do you often have to work all night while studying abroad? How can this body stand it?" Sun Bingqing did not dare to imagine such a life.

Jiang Chuqi said calmly, "There is a lot of work abroad. It is common to sleep four or five hours a day. There are always two or three nights a month that you stay up all night. It is rare to sleep eight hours a day. At first, I was a little unaccustomed to it. Every day, I was listless and hard to carry it. I just got used to it. I'm not used to sleeping eight hours a day now."

Chu Hongmei thought to himself that it was no wonder that his daughter had been abroad for so many years and was thinner than before. She didn't eat, drink and sleep well. When I heard people say how hard it was for a child to study abroad, now that I think about how my daughter went abroad for so many years because of her stupid deeds, my heart aches.

Sun Bingqing had been considering studying abroad for a year or two after she graduated from college, but she had been exposed to many real cases of studying abroad these days, and her mind had actually wavered. She thought that her major did not need to go abroad to suffer, she could live a particularly comfortable life in the country, and the graduate students from this school or another school were also very good, so the work in the future would not be bad, so the thought of studying abroad was almost put down.

Jiang Chuheng, who was sitting in the corner, could not help but feel a little touched by her sister's words. He knew that his sister had suffered all these years. In order to prove herself and fight for breath, she kept forcing herself to be strong and never told her family any bitterness. No matter how hard it was outside, she carried it all on her own.

Thinking about her sister's suffering abroad, Li Haitang appeared in her mind for no reason. He had communicated with her in the letter before, and she also wanted to study abroad in the future. Now she thought that she was very adaptable, it shouldn't be too hard.

Sun Jinglai and Jiang Chuqi chatted a little more before leaving with their two younger sisters. This was a family dinner for the jiang family. He came to say hello. Since Jiang Chuqi had returned to china and developed, there were still plenty of opportunities to meet and meet in the future. He was not in a hurry.

After the brothers and sisters of the sun family left, there was a moment of silence in the living room. Even the two noisy children noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was abnormal and snuggled up to their mother.

In the end, Chu Hongmei took the initiative to break the silence. "I didn't ask them to come. I just told the family members in the courtyard that Chu Qi came back today. They probably came here after hearing the letter."

"Mom, it's common for the two families to have a normal relationship. Living in the same courtyard, they are neighbors who don't look down on each other. I won't be back until I go abroad for a few years. I have to visit each other tomorrow. It's normal to see each other in the future. You think too much." Jiang Chuqi looked very calm, as if he had stopped thinking about everything and was no longer facing each other as fiercely as he had four years ago.

Everyone saw her change, but it hurt in their hearts, especially Chu Hongmei. She felt that her daughter had become too much. It felt good, but it was not good. Sometimes she wished she was as lively and cheerful as she used to be, with a sincere and brilliant smile on her face every day, instead of such a polite but distant smile.

"Chu Qi, four years ago, mom went too far. I know I was wrong. I apologize to you. I will never set you up with Sun Jinglai like I did before. However, you will be 27 years old after the new year. You are not too old. Don't delay your relationship. Think about it yourself." Chu Hongmei was worried that her daughter would not marry for the rest of her life because of what happened four years ago. She didn't want to talk about it today, but she couldn't help but worry when she saw her daughter's plain and calm appearance.

Jiang Chuqi's expression remained calm, "I see."

"Chu Qi, do you want to reconsider your work?" Chu Hongmei asked cautiously.

Jiang Chuqi shook his head firmly, "No, this is my decision after careful consideration. I will go to work on the eighth day of the first month of the new year."

Chu Qi, the research institute will be more suitable for you. Working nine to five days a day will not be so hard even if you work overtime. You don't have to work so hard as a girl. You may be able to stay up all night when you're young. How can you stand it when you're old?" Chu Hongmei was worried that she had been injured abroad all these years. If a woman was not in good health, she would suffer after marriage and having children.

"Mom, I don't have any physical problems. I do exercise every day. I go to the hospital every year for regular check-ups. There's nothing wrong with it. I have my own sense of propriety in my work. Although my friend's company is small now, it is the most suitable place for me to develop. These two or three years are crucial. After this period of time, it will be easier in the future." Apart from the incident four years ago, there was no gap between Jiang Chuqi and her mother. She had put down many things, and naturally would not be in a cold war with her own mother for a long time.

Chu Hongmei was relieved to hear that her health was fine. "Chu Qi, your health is good, so I'm relieved. It's just that your work, mom wants you to think about it again."

"Mom, I won't think about it anymore. My principles were the same four years ago and four years later. I will only follow my own heart. I will listen to other people's opinions, but I won't blindly listen to them. So don't try to persuade me about this." Jiang Chuqi did not make an impulsive decision on this matter. She had already investigated the domestic communication industry and repeatedly selected it. It was indeed her friend's company that suited her best.
