As soon as Liu Yun returned home from London, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Isabella and her daughter Liu Xiaoyan sat opposite each other and didn't say a word.

Liu Yun was a little strange: Could it be a quarrel? In the past few years, I have never seen my eldest daughter quarrel with Isabella.

Little Cola squatted on the ground, flashing a pair of big eyes, looking at his mother and sister with a blank expression.

Xiao Cola suddenly shouted at Liu Yun: "Baba, big is not good birds!" Mom and sister are sick! I can't speak. ”

Liu Yun asked Isabella, "What's wrong?"

Isabella said, "Ask your eldest daughter yourself." ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Dad, I received an email a few days ago. Huaguo Chengfei sent me a job offer. Let me go back to China and work in Chengfei. ”

Chengfei, one of the largest military enterprises in China, is a manufacturing enterprise of JI-20 hidden war, and an important weapon of the country.

Liu Yun was stunned: "That's not... Isn't it good? ”

Isabella said, "Liu, you asked your eldest daughter to tell you more about what this job is like?" ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Chengfei's assistant engineer. Nothing special, it's just ... ”

Liu Xiaoyan: This is just a long voice.

She continued: "It's just that Chengfei is involved in (harmony) and secret army (harmony) enterprises. The Assistant Engineer will have access to some of the aircraft's core secrets. You can't just go abroad in the future. ”

Isabella added for her eldest daughter: "In other words, she will never return to England from now on!" Your father, mother, and sister are all in the UK. Your fiancé is also in the UK. Do you want to be like the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl in China, looking at your husband across the Eurasian continent in the future? ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Qu Bai supports my decision. He said that he would fly home to accompany me on all holidays. ”

Isabella smiled bitterly: "Children, marriage and relationships are very complicated things. After a long time apart, do you dare to guarantee that there will be no cracks in your love? Also, you're in the UK, and you're used to going to proms, going out in luxury cars, wearing the most gorgeous clothes, bringing the most expensive jewelry... Do you choose to live another ascetic life? Of course, I'm not accusing you of extravagance. Please forgive me for my stepmother's incoherent words. I was just.. I just can't accept that you're away from us. ”

Liu Yun asked Liu Xiaoyan: "Can you tell me what you think?" ”

Liu Xiaoyan replied: "I am no longer the wayward little girl. I have my own thoughts, my own ideals. Dad, you know what? One of the proudest things about my mentor, Sir Farke, was that his father was involved in the design of the Spitfire! He said to me: 'Designing a fighter plane to defend the land of one's homeland is one of the most sacred and greatest things. My father was very fortunate that he did a great thing when he was younger. In the Great Battle of Britain, it was the Spitfire fighters that blocked the Germans across the Channel! ’”

The more Liu Xiaoyan spoke, the more excited she became. She stood up: "Dad." I have lived in the UK for almost 5 years. But I always keep in mind that I am a Chinese. My roots are in China. It will be my greatest blessing to be able to contribute to the aviation industry of this great country. ”

Isabella said angrily, "You're still young. It's not your turn to make sacrifices for a country! This year, I am doing charity work for children from poor families in China. If you want to do something for your motherland, you can work part-time at my foundation! Why do you have to abandon the way of life you have become accustomed to, go back to China, become an ascetic, so that you can no longer see your relatives, friends, and lovers casually? ”

Liu Xiaoyan sat next to Isabella and put her arm around her shoulders: "My dear mother." Those are two different things. When I was in middle school – I was a headstrong kid back then. The Chinese teacher asked us to recite this passage: The most precious thing for a person is life, and life is only once for everyone. This is how a person's life should be spent. When looking back, we should not regret wasting our time, nor should we be ashamed of our inaction... At that time, I was very familiar with the melon, but I couldn't understand the true meaning of this passage. Now I understand the passage. ”

Liu Xiaoyan turned her head to Liu Yun and said, "What I want to do in the future will definitely not let me waste my time." My youth will be dedicated to my homeland. Isn't that a meaningful life? ”

Liu Yun stared at his daughter.

His daughter has indeed grown up and has her own thoughts.

As a veteran of the Bayi team, Liu Yun supports her daughter's idea.

As a father, Liu Yun doesn't want his daughter to not be able to meet him often in the future.

Liu Yun was entangled.

The family fell silent. Liu Yun, Isabella, and Liu Xiaoyan were all silent. Only Little Cola sat on the carpet, playing with the doll and talking to the doll.

A doorbell rang, breaking the silence. The person who came was Qu Bai.

Qu Bai was holding a box in his right hand.

Liu Yun said, "You're here?" ”

Qu Bai nodded: "Yes." Uncle Liu, that's the case, I support Yan Yan's decision. Everyone will have their own choices at the crossroads of life. Just as you chose to go back to Coventry, Yan Yan also made her own choice. As her fiancé, I will support her. ”

Qu Bai opened the box, and inside the box was a pile of brand-new fifty pound bills.

Liu Yun asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qu Bai replied, "I hope to marry me before Yan Yan returns to China." In my hometown, the bride price is required to marry a daughter-in-law. My uncle told me that when my father was alive, one winter, he wrapped himself in a quilt in the dormitory of the coal kiln and said to my uncle: Wait until I am rich. and give his son a beautiful daughter-in-law. When the dowry is given, hey, directly under the unity of 8 catties and 8 taels! ”

Great Unity is another name for the old version of the 100-yuan banknote.

Qu Bai said, "I told my uncle about it. He repeatedly told me that I must give Yan Yan a banknote with the largest denomination of 8 catties and 8 taels as a dowry. On the British side, it is too troublesome to find so many silver coins. I asked my agent to withdraw 50 denominations of pounds sterling. It's a total of eight pounds and eight taels, about 190,000 pounds. I hope you will agree to my request and let Yan Yan... Marry me before returning home. ”

Qu Bai now earns 15 million pounds a year. There is also a large amount of endorsement fee income. £190,000 is nothing to him.

What used to be the silence of three people in the living room is now the silence of four.

After a long time, Liu Yun said to Qu Bai: "Yan Yan has agreed to your marriage proposal. When exactly will you get married, you don't have to ask me, just ask her. As for whether she will return to China. She has grown up, has her own thoughts, her own ideals, and her own life choices. I will respect all her decisions. ”

After hearing this, Isabella got up angrily and went back to the bedroom.
