Qiao Nan and Liang Zheng are no strangers to expatriation. Qiao Nan also said that when he graduated from the doctorate, he also wanted to apply for a military attache abroad, and as soon as his term of office expired, he would find an opportunity to return to Hong Kong City and live with his parents.

If he can apply, he will definitely go out with his wife and children. My wife used to be a well-known travel blogger, and if we went abroad together, she would definitely be able to regain her former popularity. The two children are also in the golden period of language learning, going abroad for a few years to be cultivated, and they can master at least one foreign language.

When Wen Jing complained about the hard work, he painted such a big cake over and over again. Wen Jing sneered: "There is still a possibility for others, that is, to return to Hong Kong City, which is not realistic." ”

"Why? I've been loyal to my country for so many years, and it's time to go home and do my filial piety!"

"I'm afraid that our dad doesn't want you to be filial, he hopes that you can also resist a star and become a general. If you go back to Port City, you can go to that naval school as an instructor at most, how can you become a general?"

Obediently, Miss Wen, who was stupid and couldn't tell the difference between the battalion commander and the company commander at the beginning, has been able to clearly plan his career prospects.

Qiao Nan is very desperate in everything he does, and he also has his own ideas, but he only has appropriate ambitions, and he knows that with his conditions, the hope of becoming a general is very slim. But even so, Dad wouldn't want him to return to his hometown early.

Although life is not smooth, Lao Qiao has also worked hard all his life. A few months after he "retired", he started a new business, which was to cook for his wife's students.

Those students came to the house for tutoring at lunch and dinner time, and most of them bought some scrub buns or something on the street, and they couldn't eat well at all. Once, a student was so hungry that Li Lanzhi couldn't bear it, so she left him at home to eat. The student devoured and finally said, "Teacher Li, can I come to your house for dinner in the future? ”

……

That's where the business opportunity came.

Qiao Jianjun has been doing business on this street for nearly 20 years, and there is nothing to say about his craftsmanship and character, and parents are definitely willing to let their children eat at Qiao's house. It's just that Lao Qiao is "sick and retired", and his parents are embarrassed to keep him busy. But Lao Qiao enjoyed it, he said, he wanted to find something to do, to be able to cook for students at home, he couldn't ask for it.

When he first "retired", Lao Qiao often went to the hospital because of his blood pressure, but after he got busy, his blood pressure stabilized. It seems that life still needs to maintain the right amount of pressure in order to maintain health.

Old Joe took this sentence as the truth, and told the children at every turn. He is almost sixty years old, and he is still not idle, how can he allow his son to be disarmed and return to the field at the age of forty?

In the past, he thought that his son was just talking casually, but now as soon as Qiao Nan mentioned it, he kicked his eyes round: "Don't talk nonsense! Maybe you will be more productive after the age of forty?"

Probably in Lao Qiao's eyes, the end of "having a chance" is to become a general! Not to mention the rest, at least Qiao Nan's application for assignment is still very promising, and he can also take his wife and children out, but what about Liang Zheng?

If he is really sent abroad, then he will be gone for four years, what will happen to his wife and children? Wen Jing is self-employed, her career is already very stable, and she is relatively free, so she can go with Qiao Nan. But Qiao Lu is different, she is not only a university professor, but also an excellent researcher, can she leave her job and follow her husband?

If she doesn't do research, let alone herself, even Liang Zheng feels a pity. If she can apply to a foreign university and be a visiting scholar for a few years, then the couple can also be reunited.

But Liang Zheng also knows very well that some of Qiao Lu's research is secret, and whether foreign units can accept it is a question, and even if they do, they can't go boldly with confidence - what if it is a trap and the couple become the target of foreign attacks on our country?

It's not impossible. If relations between the two countries deteriorate one day, then the other side can say that the husband is a diplomat and the wife is doing secret research. What are your intentions in sending these two people out together? Isn't this a clear intention to steal the fruits?

When the time comes, it will really be indisputable. If you get into a lawsuit, you won't even have your freedom.

Liang Zheng has been engaged in diplomatic work for many years, and he is too familiar with the routines of certain countries. And as a thoughtful diplomat, he had long been prepared for all kinds of things, and he would never rashly take his wife out of the country.

But whether he should accept this opportunity or not has become a big question in front of the whole family. If they were just husband and wife, Qiao Lu would unconditionally support him to go out, but now that they have three children between them, the hardships of raising children cannot be described in words, Qiao Lu can't do without him, and the children can't be separated from their father for so long.

So, Qiao Lu didn't say anything, and silently got up and went back to the room. When Liang Zheng chased after her, he found that she was wiping her tears.

She didn't speak, but Liang Zheng could sense her grievances even more. But what could he do? On the one hand, he loved his beloved cause, and on the other hand, his beloved wife and children, and if he had to choose, he would have to choose the latter.

"Although our family can afford to hire a nanny, I'm not that great, and I don't want you to leave for four years. By the time you come back, the eldest is almost in puberty, and the two younger ones are going to elementary school. You have been absent for so long, how can you make up for the relationship with your children?"

Qiao Lu cried and shook her head again: "No, you should go." If it wasn't for that expatriate experience, you wouldn't have met me. You are a great diplomat, and if you go abroad, you will help more people and contribute more. ”

is worthy of his wife, and she really accurately grasps the point of his entanglement. She seemed to have a split personality, but Liang Zheng felt very cute, held her hand and said, "Then don't go, at least wait for the children to grow up." ”

“…… But shouldn't you obey orders, and if you refuse, you'll regret it, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Liang Zheng still held her hand: "We have a lot of children, and we are so young, the organization will also consider my difficulties!"

Having said that, such an important matter cannot be decided in a few words. Qiao Jianjun didn't sleep all night, and called Qiao Lu early in the morning: "If Liang Zheng wants to go, don't be too embarrassed, there is still my old bone at home! ”

“…… Dad, our income is okay, and it is not a problem to watch the child, I am worried that he will be separated from the child for too long......"

Old Qiao didn't hear the second half of the sentence, so he preemptively said: "Can you rest assured that you can hire someone to see it?" ”

Liang Zheng was also reluctant to have children, he tended not to go. ”

"That's ......," Old Joe paused, and said, "Anyway, I can serve you for a few more years, as long as you work hard." ”

Alas, parents are ready to contribute to their children at any time, Qiao Lu was moved for a while, and quipped: "Okay, you have served us all your life, now concentrate on serving my mother! ”

"It's nothing, anyway, your mother's wish and I are all in the hope that you will have a good time. ”

Jolene heard her father's words, and when he finished calling, she said, "I'm going to be the one who doesn't make a profit." ”

“…… What do you say?"

"I just feel that I can't do anything big, I can't leave home, I can't leave you. ”

Qiao Jianjun was in a hurry, for fear that she would also miss a good opportunity, so he hurriedly persuaded: "If I can follow your brother-in-law in the future, then do it well! Isn't the highest level of learning a foreign language to be a diplomat?"

Dad was right, and Jolene thought the same way. But she is afraid that she really has no ambitions, she remembers the family in Hong Kong City, and when she thinks of them, she doesn't want to have a career.
