Chapter 416 Compared with love, he cares more about family affection

On the first day of the new year, Shen Boxuan brought gifts and her husband and children to visit Zhou Rong.

When Zhou Gui came to have the reunion dinner on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, he told Zhou Rong that Shen Boxuan would come to visit today.

Zhou Rong took a day off and prepared lunch at home to entertain his friends.

Perhaps due to the working environment, Shen Boxuan looks much more haggard than before.

In recent years, the two have communicated less frequently than before, and their correspondence is mostly about reporting good news rather than bad news.

Zhou Rong did not ask Shen Boxuan what he had experienced in the past few years, so as not to trigger bad memories for his good friend.

Shen Boxuan himself whispered to Zhou Rong about his experience working at the grassroots level while they were talking in the study.

She also said that she was under very strict surveillance for a period of time, and even the letters she sent had to be reviewed before they could be sent out, so there were many things she could not say.

Zhou Rong asked her quietly: "Do you regret it?"

Shen Boxuan shook his head: "I don't regret my decision. I also believe that all the suffering will pass. Haven't Fan Qiu and I resumed our duties now?"

Zhou Rong: "It's great that you have this mentality. Keep it up. Our country can develop steadily thanks to the selfless dedication of experts like you. I want to pay tribute to you and learn from you!"

Shen Boxuan: "Don't say such sentimental words, it makes me cry. I went abroad that year just to learn more knowledge and serve my motherland. This wish has never changed.

Any country will experience some twists and turns in the process of development. Those unhappy things are just the spice of life.

Our leader said that the chaos like before should not happen again, and we should write more letters and communicate more in the future. "

Zhou Rong: "Okay."

Zhou Qingping and Zhou Qingan slept in the same room, and the two brothers talked about each other's lives.

Zhou Qing'an told Zhou Qingping about him and Liang Jingyi, and described the excitement they felt on their first date and how they missed each other after not seeing each other for several months.

After listening to Zhou Qingping, he found that he also had some of Zhou Qingan's symptoms.

Zhou Qingping needed to return to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He was worried that he would not be able to handle the complicated relationship well after returning, so he decided to ask Zhou Rong for advice.

If his mother supports him, he will go back and confess his feelings. If she opposes, he will just think that they are not destined to be together...

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Qingping went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to find Zhou Rong and said he wanted to treat her to lunch.

Zhou Qingping had been a little uneasy in recent days. Zhou Rong noticed it and knew that he had something to say to him, so after lunch, he took him for a walk by the river.

Zhou Rong asked directly: "Did something happen to you?"

Zhou Qingping organized his words and said carefully: "I seem to like a girl, but we are not suitable to be together."

Zhou Rong: "...What's going on? Please explain it clearly."

Zhou Qingping: "There are many projects in the unit that cannot be done without my teachers and junior sisters, who were transferred back by the organization some time ago.

When I am with my junior sister, I feel inexplicably excited, happy, and a little nervous. In Qing'an's words, this is a sign of my love, and he is the same when he is with his girlfriend.

After my junior sister and teacher were transferred back, the organization restored their identities. However, what happened in the past few years was too scary. Our unit now holds meetings frequently. Although the situation is not as serious as before, the atmosphere is still very tense.

I wasn't sure if what happened before would happen again, and I was worried about bringing trouble to my family, so I hesitated whether to confess my feelings to her."

Zhou Rong: "Do you think that girl likes you?"

Zhou Qingping: "I think she liked me. She was outgoing and courageous. Before she and her teacher were demoted, she said she wanted to be my girlfriend. I thought she was joking and I didn't take it seriously because I didn't have much experience.

After she returned to work, her personality changed a lot and she became less talkative, but the way she looked at me remained the same. I think she still had me in her heart.”

Zhou Rong: "It's rare for a person to meet someone you like and she likes you in return. I support you in pursuing your own happiness."

Zhou Qingping: "There are many uncertainties about her and the teacher's identities. Will it cause trouble for the family?"

Zhou Rong: "Your junior sister and teacher are talents that the organization needs. As long as they are valuable, the situation will not be too bad. If it really comes to an inevitable point, we can break off the relationship first, and then restore the relationship when the situation improves."

Zhou Qingping was shocked. In his mind, his mother had always been cautious and profit-driven, and would never do anything that was not beneficial.

His mother said she wanted to break off the relationship, and the possibility of getting back together was slim.

Zhou Qingping asked cautiously: "Mom, are you kidding me?"

Zhou Rong said seriously: "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Zhou Qingping: "...breaking off a relationship is no small matter. People who don't know the inside story will probably scold me to death. I don't want relatives and friends to laugh at you."

Zhou Rong: "You don't have to worry about me. As for our relatives, none of them can stand up to me in terms of reasoning. Besides, the probability of this happening is not high. There is no need to scare yourself. You will always be my son."

Zhou Qingping smiled and said, "Mom's attitude is different from what I imagined."

Zhou Rong: "You think I would object and only do things that are beneficial to me?"

Zhou Qingping smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

Zhou Rong: "In our lives, earth-shaking success and happiness are rare, but mostly small daily moments that are forgotten in the blink of an eye.

However, these daily things that seem insignificant to us will lead to irreconcilable contradictions if not handled properly.

You are my child and an independent individual. I am very grateful that you consider my feelings before taking action.

I am already 42 years old, and your workplace is far away. We can only see each other once every one or two years, and we don’t have much time to spend together. I don’t want to be blamed. When you are old and unhappy, you say it is my fault. That would be very unfair to me.”

Zhou Qingping: "No, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it without any complaints!

You are the wisest mother I have ever met. It is my honor to be your son. I don’t want my selfishness to cause any harm to you.”

Zhou Rong: "Your words are enough. Your mother is not a weak person. I have enough ability to protect myself and resolve troubles.

We have only one short life. If you can choose the lifestyle you like, don't compromise because of fear. Do what you want to do. I'm behind you. "

Zhou Qingping: "Thank you, Mom!"

After Zhou Qingping returned to the unit, he did not rush to confess his feelings to his junior sister Zhong Jiawen, and the two continued to get along as colleagues.

The more open-minded Zhou Rong acted, the more guilty Zhou Qingping felt. He knew that his mother liked a peaceful life, and he couldn't let his mother fall into any danger until the situation became clear.

My mother said that love is just the spice of life, not a necessity.

Compared with love, he cares more about family.

Zhou Qingping doesn't believe this situation will continue. He is still young and can afford to wait...
