Chapter 444: Uncle Chi
But the eyes of the masses are bright. What's more, Shen Yiyi, a good child in the eyes of the elders, is the ideal child in the hearts of the elders no matter what standard he looks at. Shen Yiyi's modesty did not make the old gentleman and old aunt change their love for Shen Yiyi.
Didn't the old aunt just say it: "Hey, what are you polite about?" When I saw you on TV, I thought, this little girl is really good-looking. Later, when I heard people talk about you, it was even more remarkable! I saw your real person on the plane today, and I saw what you just said to the flight attendant, and you are really as talented as the legend! That's it, Auntie, I said, other people's children are rumored to be false, but you, Shen Yiyi, are worthy of those rumors. ”
It is not the first time that Shen Yiyi has been praised in person. Every time she comes to her home, she is often praised by the guests in front of the elders in her own home. Of course, there is an element of politeness in this kind of compliment, and there will also be an element of flattery. When this kind of praise has been heard a hundred times, Shen Yiyi will not be affected as he was at the beginning of the one hundred and one times. However, to say that a stranger on such a plane was praised by others in person, it was the first time that Shen Yiyi had been praised. While there was a little vanity in his heart, Shen Yiyi was also a little embarrassed.
"Aunt Chi, I don't even know what to say with your kind words. But overall, I still want to thank you for looking up to me so much, so that you put such a rare reputation on me. Shen Yiyi finally decided not to directly respond to the old aunt's praise. Of course, her avoidance of talking about it was once again explained by the second elder of the Chi family as an atmospheric behavior.
The second elder of the Chi family looked at this little granddaughter of the Shen family, how he saw and liked it. My youngest son is now studying in the United States, and the two older ones in this family are very concerned about their son's study in the United States on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are worried that their son will find a foreign daughter-in-law for their family to come back. In addition to the taboo of the Chinese traditional Chinese-Yi mixed race, their political status is also very taboo about this kind of foreign-related marriage. But. The idea of introducing this little girl to her own son that I had thought about before died down. This little girl is just too strong and too sought-after. Their family's family background is not enough to impress the hearts of the old Shen family. Not to mention anything else, just say that the little grandson of the old Wang family is not the right one to go in and out with this little girl all day long. Parents may have already had a tacit understanding. At the foot of the old Wang family's wall, their Chi family doesn't have enough capital to pry it.
However, although the dream of recruiting Shen Yiyi to his family as a daughter-in-law was temporarily shattered, it would not affect the appreciation and curiosity of the two old people for this little girl who had long been a legend in the high-level cadre circle. So Mr. Ruchi turned on the problem mode.
"I'll call you one by one. What do you think? I didn't know who you were before, so I called you little girl. But now that we know who you are, it's better to call you by your name, what do you say? ”
What can Shen Yiyi say? Can you say it's not good? This is more or less the number one leader of the government department. So Shen Yiyi could only agree: "Okay." Grandpa Chi can call me whatever he wants. ”
Mr. Chi's reaction to this title was a little bigger. He straightened his face and asked Shen Yiyi very strictly: "Don't call me grandpa!" I'm about the same age as your uncle. So you might as well call me Uncle Chi. I don't dare to be the same generation as your grandfather. ”
Shen Haijiang is the same generation as the chief designer. In the sequence of leaders of our country, it is higher than the current general secretary. Therefore, in China, where politics is important, people in officialdom have their own taboos.
The aunt of the Chi family on the side was also there and chimed in: "Yes, yes, what do you call his grandfather to do?" Didn't you call me Auntie? Then call him Uncle. Otherwise, I will let him be a generation older than me, won't I suffer? ”
Shen Yiyi spoke out one by one. I've already remembered this ballast. Indeed, although in terms of age, it is true that the second elder of the Chi family has reached the age of being grandparents, but Shen Yiyi is more special about her own grandfather's status, and her father is a grandfather, so the corresponding generation is relatively high. In this case, Shen Yiyi's best choice is to obey the other party's wishes and lower the seniority of the other party's title.
"Okay. Uncle Chi and Aunt Chi met for the first time. Thank you for your kind attention. Shen Yiyi said to the two elders.
"Hey, yes. Look how polite this little girl is! "The two old men of the Chi family are unanimously very satisfied with Shen Yiyi.
Mr. Chi asked, "Are you alone when you go to the United States this time?" Why didn't your mom and dad come with you? Is your grandfather reassuring of you? ”
Shen Yiyi said disapprenously: "Of course my grandfather is relieved." He wasn't much older than me when he left home. Besides, if I study at a foreign university in China, isn't it the same as going out alone? There is really nothing to go abroad alone. ”
She doesn't want to say that there are some college students in later generations. All of them rode their bikes across Eurasia alone. Her itinerary has been properly arranged, and people who have taken a big plane have nothing to be afraid of.
However, apparently the two elders of the Chi family don't think so: "Then how can it be the same? You're a little girl, and you've only turned 18 this year, right? This girl is not the same as a boy. ”
Shen Yiyi does not agree with this kind of distinction between men and women. She was born to break such a stereotype. So although the other party is her elder, she still has to speak up for the truth she is pursuing.
"Uncle Chi, Aunt Chi. You two are not right. Chairman Mao and his old man have long said that women can stand up to the sky. Even if you don't talk about this, although there is indeed a difference between men and women, when it comes to going out by plane, it is within the scope of girls' ability. So I don't think there's anything wrong with me going out alone. Besides, you two also heard it just now, and someone has already arranged the itinerary after I arrive in a moment. In this case, if I still dare not go out, it will have to my grandfather off. He wouldn't want a little granddaughter like that. ”
When Mr. Chi and Aunt Chi heard Shen Yiyi say this, they no longer emphasized that Shen Yiyi should not go out alone. In the officialdom, they are all human spirits. If you make people unhappy, you will stop talking about it as soon as you see what you say. What's more, in Shen Yiyi's situation, everyone only wants to get closer, and they don't want to have any disputes that make everyone more estranged. So Old Man Chi also said, "Okay." It is said that the door will be out of the tiger girl. Your grandfather was bold back then, and you, the granddaughter, were just as bold. Uncle Chi will no longer be a woman. One by one, what are you doing in the United States? Do you want to apply to a U.S. university? ”
Everyone knows that most Chinese in this era regard going abroad to study in college as a matter that has both face and interest. Since the two elders of the Chi family had heard of Shen Yiyi's reputation a long time ago, it was no secret to the two old men that her achievements in all related fields were made. They have long known that the youngest granddaughter of the Shen family is a prodigy who has been specially recruited into Tsinghua University in the first year of high school, and has maintained a leading position in her own department over the years. That's a proper academic master. If a little girl with such good grades goes to the United States alone, it is very likely that she has applied to a famous university in the United States and wants to contact the admission. This is how the two old men began the pattern in their heads.
Shen Yiyi shook his head very firmly: "The matter of studying abroad may happen in the future, but this time it is not." This time I went to the United States for something else. ”
The voice of the old aunt of the Chi family was a little louder: "Not to study abroad?" What's that for? Going to play? Otherwise, you'll get off the plane one by one and come with us later. Your uncle and I went to the United States this time to deal with some things, but we also have travel plans after that. It's so boring to travel alone, or you can go with us. ”
In addition to the obvious meaning of the words, there was another layer of thought in her heart. It's true that I want to travel to the United States, but it's also my youngest son who accompanies me to see everywhere. If Shen Yiyi is allowed to play with him one by one, maybe what kind of sparks can be sparked between the two young people along the way, and then they will successfully pry the corner of Lao Wang's house?
Of course, Shen Yiyi would not have expected the little Jiujiu in this old aunt's belly. To be exact, she never wanted to walk with her old aunt from the beginning. The flight attendants have been notified before, and the comrades from the consulate below have coordinated the special channel. Although Shen Yiyi himself has never walked through it, he knows that this kind of coordination at the official level has obvious procedures. Once it's arranged, you can't just add or subtract people. Otherwise, it will be a relatively big accident in the formal exchanges between the two countries. So it's impossible for me to go all the way with each other.
"Auntie, I'm afraid I can't go with you. There's someone waiting for me down there. Shen Yiyi just nodded lightly about his situation. She still didn't want to say it explicitly. Anyway, admitting her privilege in front of so many people is not something to be proud of for Shen Yiyi, so she still has to keep a low profile. (To be continued......)
