The higher we rise, the smaller we appear in the eyes of those who do not understand flying. - Nietzsche
Xiaochuan didn't know how to describe his current mood. In his impression, Ruochu should still be the little girl who would act coquettishly in his arms, rub the stubble on his chin with her small hands, and then giggle again, even if she was
The last time we met, it was only a year ago. At that time, Ruochu would still put her arms around his neck and proudly announced to Ruoqi that she had known her dad longer than he had.
She had also imagined the scene of this meeting, and knew that this was the day when she would come of age, but what she didn't expect was that the Ruochu in front of her seemed to have grown up overnight, not to mention that she even carried her parents on her back and ran to the United States to find him.
, even standing in front of him now, it was completely different from his impression.
His appearance has not changed much. The baby fat that used to be on his face has completely faded away. His face is thinner and more refined, and his eyes are bigger. Compared with Qin Nan, his eyes are more spiritual and transparent.
A sense of confidence and something similar to stubbornness made Xiaochuan unable to describe what it was for the moment, but the purity and innocence were innate. Just like her mother, no matter how many things she had experienced, Qin Nan was
If you have the ability to always keep that purity in your eyes, no matter how difficult the years are, you can't change it. I believe Ruoruo can do it too.
He couldn't help but stretched out his arms to Ruochu. Ruochu smiled and stepped forward to hug Xiaochuan gently, then left. Xiaochuan's eyes narrowed to a slit. When did this girl learn to be shy? Suddenly
He misses the days when she was a child and he was young. Although he is happy to see her grow up, he still feels a sense of loss in his heart. People are really strange. They are always in contradiction, just like
Xiaochuan now.
"I'm sorry, it's all Daddy's fault. I couldn't attend your coming-of-age ceremony and made your trip in vain." Xiaochuan apologized sincerely. In fact, he had been regretting it these past few days.
"Ah, it doesn't matter. It's not in vain. I even went back to Boston." Ruochu said proudly. It's really good to know that you can decide where to go and travel around the world.
"What? Sister, have you gone somewhere else?" Ruoqi's eyes widened and he suddenly intervened with a look of admiration on his face. He used to think that his sister was just a child like him, but now he had to treat her
I treat my parents on the same level.
"Boston?" Before Xiaochuan could express his surprise, Qin Bei called out first, and he and Qin Nan went down the stairs one after another.
"What are you doing in Boston?" Qin Bei walked a few steps to Ruo Chu. She didn't tell him yesterday.
"She is visiting my mentor and master's wife, her grandfather Jason and grandma Lien." Qin Nan said lightly as he went downstairs, but his heart was full of pride.
Xiaochuan shook his head in disbelief and exclaimed. This child was not only kind and kind, but also extremely smart. He left when he was six years old and can still be found now.
"It's a pity that I don't even know where the United States is in the southeast, northwest, and northwest." Ruoqi suddenly said with a small mouth, pretending to be aggrieved, and exaggeratedly pretending to be about to cry, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Now is the winter vacation. Qin Bei is at home with his two children all day long, while Qin Nan needs to go to Qin's to work every day. Today Xiaochuan is here and her daughter is back. Qin Nan proposes that she won't go to the company either.
Inviting Xiaoqing, Qiao Qian and his wife to join in the fun, they received enthusiastic responses from others.
"Ruoruo, is it time for you to graduate? What are your plans for the next step? Oh, by the way, I gave your gift to your mother that day, no matter what your mother wants." Xiaochuan was pulled back to the chessboard by Ruoqi,
Taking advantage of Ruoqi's time to place the chess pieces, he asked Ruochu.
"She, like her mother, was not recommended by the school, so she had to take the exam herself. She said she wanted to prove herself, and she also said that she could not ruin my reputation. I must declare in advance that the school's recommendation for her has nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with it.
I won't ask her to give up just to avoid suspicion." Qin Bei answered before Ruochu.
"Really?" Xiaochuan glanced at Ruochu, "Bei, you are so lucky. The two women in your family have to stand in your perspective even when considering their future and destiny."
"Well, it's almost as if I'm the one who got them involved." Qin Bei waved his hand quickly.
Ruochu lowered her head aside. At that time, she really wanted to prove herself, but later she figured out that since she didn't want to take this road at all, then the proof was meaningless. But she didn't have the courage to tell her yet.
Parents, she was afraid of disappointing them.
"Oh, Ruoruo, if you don't mention it, I forgot to ask you how you did in the exam, but the results will be released soon." Qin Bei put one long leg on top of the other, and it was rare that he cared.
It's not that he doesn't care about Ruo Chu's studies, it's that she really makes people worry-free.
She went to elementary school for four years, junior high school for two years, and high school for two years. She continued to skip grades and still ranked among the best. She did not fall behind in various extracurricular activities. In terms of qualifications, even he and Qin Nan were ashamed. She originally wanted her to go to the United States to continue her studies.
Maybe it was because Ruochu couldn't stay with him before he was six years old, Qin Bei was a little reluctant to let her go, but he was happy to have his daughter by his side.
"Ah, it's okay, okay...Dad, Daddy, you guys talk first, I'll go up and read some books..." Ruochu was suddenly asked by Qin Bei, and stared at Qin Bei with his eyes wide open for two seconds.
, he told a lie smoothly, because he had never told a lie in his whole life, so he felt guilty and stuttered, his face began to heat up again, he hurriedly took a leave of absence and left. If Qin Bei asked more in-depth questions, such as how to answer which question
Yes, she is really going to reveal her secret.
I ran back to my room in one breath, closed the door, my heart was pounding, and sat down in front of the computer. I have to hurry up now.
She had submitted some resumes before, but they all came to nothing, or she felt they were not suitable and did not go to the interview. As of now, time is running out. She needs to find a job before the results of the master's entrance examination are announced, and it is best to have some results to convince her.
Parents, let them believe that her choice is the right one.
Many people may think Ruochu's approach is stupid, but as smart as she is, she would rather choose the most difficult path. She is different from Qin Nan. Qin Nan reads so many books because he loves them, while Ruochu reads so many books because
She doesn't want to be too far away from her parents. In fact, she doesn't want to be like them.
Perhaps, in Qin Bei's view, she could become a scholar with great potential, and as long as she kept her feet on the ground, her future results would not be lower than his.
And Qin Nan also feels that her daughter is a good candidate for business. She is smart, perceptive, studious, and knows how to deal with interpersonal relationships. If she is allowed to take over the Qin family, she can really rest assured.
But if Ruochu just wants to be herself, she wants to experience the sense of accomplishment brought by her own efforts and hard work. Like everyone else, she has to work hard in society and start from the bottom. Such success may take a long time.
It's a bit of a journey, but she will feel solid and have a sense of presence.
Even if she achieves nothing, at least she has tried. She needs to prove her value to society, and this value must be completely a reflection of her own value and must not have anything to do with her parents.
But no matter how many books she has read, no matter how good she is, if she doesn’t go out to experience in society, even if she is a piece of jade, it is still a piece of raw jade. If she doesn’t go out to work, she will never be able to polish it. If she goes to the Qin family, she will never have the chance to know how people treat her.
Respect is based on her identity or recognition of her abilities.
Before her senior year in college, she had not thought so much. She just focused on studying and participating in club activities. Later, people around her started making plans for their future, and she had to think about her future. At this time, the department recommended her to graduate school.
She instinctively refused, but before she could figure out what to do next, she filled out her application form in accordance with her parents' wishes. She just didn't want to disappoint them, so she prepared for the exam as actively as others.
However, before the exam, she gave up. If she really didn't want to take this path, it would be much more troublesome to pass the exam than not to take the exam. It was just to prove herself in form, compared with the future she wanted.
, she finally chose the latter.
The day when the results were announced was when she confessed to her parents that if she couldn't find a job, Qin Nan would naturally ask her to go to Qin's, and she had no reason to refuse. For her, no matter what kind of job it is now, she must first
If she finds someone, her ideals can be realized slowly. Besides, she doesn't know what she is suitable for right now.
…
Zheng Fang and Qiao Qian didn't come over because their son had a low fever. Qin Nan was a little worried and planned to go over and have a look the next day.
As soon as Xiaoqing came over, she joked that her brother would come here all day to make a living and would not even go back home. However, she had to admit that Qin Nan's skills were getting better and better, which made her unable to do anything when she came here.
When he is on a diet, he still misses this place when he can't eat. Little did he know that Qin Nan now considers cooking as his most important hobby.
Xiaoqing is wearing a red coat with a close-fitting dress underneath. Because she is the same age as Qin Bei and has already passed her forties, it takes courage to wear it like this, but she just wears it with charm.
Perhaps because of the constant physical training, Xiaoqing's figure is not out of shape and is still convex and concave. Like Qin Nan, she never wears heavy makeup, so she is not poisoned by cosmetics. Her face is still beautiful, and her temperament is a bit close to Su's.
Fimaso.
However, different men can still find different feelings about her, some are calm, some are elegant, or some are coquettish, but the domineering look of the strong woman has faded a lot. This is also understandable. A woman who has already achieved success does not need to worry about anything anymore.
To strive hard for your career, the most important thing now is how to extend your beauty for a longer time.
A woman who has transcended the test of age and time is not far away from staying young forever. Of course, the way to retain youth does not have to be as extreme as Bloody Mary, but at the age of 60, there are still men who are willing to do it for her beauty.
A duel is not impossible. This illustrates the truth that time is not necessarily the enemy of a woman. It can also shape beauty while disintegrating it. A smart woman must know how to turn enemies into friends and use it to continuously improve her beauty.
Precipitation, continuous practice, practice elegance, practice calmly, because beauty glows from the inside out, just like aged wine.
Obviously Xiaoqing and Qin Nan are both smart women who know how to use their time. The difference is that Qin Nan is restrained, while Xiaoqing knows how to show off. It is a miracle that she can still lead fashion after she is over fifty. Otherwise, it would not be possible.
For a count to remain passionate about her for decades.
