Starting from you are my glory

"So you are saying..."

After listening to Qiao Jingjing's rather short description, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother looked at each other, paused for a long time, and then Qiao's father swallowed.

"Yu Tu is currently an undergraduate student and plans to graduate early in his sophomore year and then enter the aerospace major as a postgraduate student."

“I’m currently interning at the Shanghai Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics during the winter vacation?!”

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing added: "Academician Zhang has agreed to accept Yu Tu as his graduate student, and now Yu Tu is studying with his senior brother!"

"Academician." Qiao's mother glanced at Qiao's father, "What is the position?"

"Why is that a position?" Before Qiao Jingjing could explain, Qiao's father said dissatisfiedly: "That is the highest academic title in national science and technology!"

"I usually ask you to watch more news broadcasts, but you insist on following those TV series. Look, you don't even know these basics!"

"You're amazing!" Qiao's mother didn't like her husband, and she didn't care about her daughter's presence. She immediately stared and was about to get angry.

"Wait!" Qiao Jingjing hurriedly intervened in the dispute, "Yu Tu hasn't told his parents about this yet."

"You two don't say anything for now."

"Did you hear that?" Qiao's mother turned the conversation to Qiao's father angrily, "Watch your own mouth!"

"Don't talk nonsense after drinking!"

"That's what you said! I have a very strict tone!"

"You are slandering!" Qiao's father retorted fiercely, but judging from Qiao's mother's attitude, it was probably an invalid rebuttal.

"This shouldn't be the case." Qiao's father gently scratched his hair, "Lao Yu and his wife are both sensible people."

"Why is it that my son is acting alone now that he is alone?"

"Study with the academicians! You will have a bright future from now on!"

"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite." Qiao's mother knew a little about this. After all, when chatting with Yu's mother, they would inevitably talk about each other's extended families.

"I heard from Yu Tu's mother that Yu Tu has had a strong interest in aerospace since he was a child. His uncle should be engaged in this industry."

"That's better." Dad Qiao didn't quite understand. "There are elders in the family who are engaged in this industry, and they are also uncles. What a good leader!"

"You only see the good things! You are short-sighted!"

"It's good to have a good job, but it often involves confidential matters, and I often can't see people. Sometimes I can't be contacted when something happens at home. In the past, if I couldn't be contacted for several months, I thought the person was gone."

The more Mother Qiao talks about it, the more unhappy she becomes. Now she sees that her appointed son-in-law is going to disappear in secret. I have pity on my daughter Jingjing, how will our family live in the future?

Feeling the complicated look in her mother's eyes, Qiao Jingjing blinked her eyes cutely. Her cute look made Qiao's mother even more sad.

"That's a problem."

Only then did Qiao's father realize, "Then Yu Tu has already embarked on this path. In the future, when he marries Jingjing, it will be a troublesome thing for the family not to take care of him!"

"dad!"

"Why are you getting married?!" When her parents said this to her face, Qiao Jingjing's face turned red with embarrassment, "I'm still in college!"

If he saw his daughter in this state normally, Father Qiao would laugh a few times, but this was the time when he was irritable. Father Qiao lowered his head, silently took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

"Has Yu Tu decided to engage in aerospace work in the future?"

"Ah."

"If Yu Tu hadn't refused to change his major to aerospace, he might have signed a contract with Shanghai by now!"

Qiao Jingjing replied proudly. When she said this, she thought of the unabashed appreciation and joy in the eyes of Director Hu and Academician Zhang, and she felt proud of herself.

"It's hard to do!"

Dad Qiao took another deep drag on his cigarette, "If Yutu majors in finance like you, even if he wants to stay in Beijing or go to Shanghai and Shenzhen after graduation."

"Your mother, me, and your uncle and aunt are trying to help you get a down payment, even if they are trying to sell things, but suddenly they want to go to Shanghai to engage in aerospace."

Father Qiao stopped talking and only focused on smoking. Mother Qiao was also silent, and the whole family fell into a strange silence.

"Aerospace is very good." Qiao Jingjing explained on Yu Tu's behalf: "Winning glory for the country and realizing one's own value can achieve multiple things with one stone. How great!"

"Silly girl." Qiao's mother lovingly touched Qiao Jingjing's little head, "I didn't say this job was not good."

“But there are too many rules in this job.”

"If nothing else, I can't contact you just because I'm on a business trip. What do you think I should do if there's something urgent at home?!"

"When you graduate, work, and live together, it won't be a problem if you don't see each other for a long time or live in separate places!"

"Maybe it doesn't matter to you now, but this life requires two people to be together. How can one live by himself?"

"Also, I heard your Aunt Yu say that this industry is extremely confidential. Sometimes I travel for several months and come back with nothing to say and no communication. How do you think you can live like this?!"

"No!" Dad Qiao suddenly put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "I'm going to find Lao Yu!"

"This child Yu Tu suddenly comes here, what will my daughter do?!"

"Wait a minute!" Qiao Jingjing was still slowly processing her mother's words in her mind. Before she could straighten them out, her father jumped up again. Isn't this adding chaos to chaos!

"Let me stroke first!"

"I have something else to tell you!"

"Hurry up!" Dad Qiao was never as anxious as he is now. He couldn't help but light up another cigarette. "It gets dark early now. It's inconvenient to come back late if you go out."

"Well." Qiao Jingjing looked at her mother first, "You are worried that after Yu Tu graduates and officially engages in aerospace work, he will often travel for project matters, and then he will not be able to communicate with me due to confidentiality issues."

"Is it because the two of us spend less time together and stay apart more often, leading to emotional discord and family disharmony?"

"That's more or less what I mean." Before Qiao's mother could say anything, Qiao's father nodded first, "Long-distance relationships don't have good results these days. After you graduate, you go to and from work, occasionally work overtime, etc. Yu Tu won't be around for a long time. If he’s with you, then why else do you need him!”

"I encountered something recently."

"Originally I haven't made up my mind yet, because this incident will have a huge impact on my future life."

"But seeing that you are so worried about Yu Tu not having time today, I think I'd better discuss it with you now."

"Why is there still something wrong?" Qiao's mother couldn't help but get up, leaned close to Qiao Jingjing and said, "Just an internship in Yu Tu has caused so many things, why are you saying that there is something wrong now?!"

"You keep talking!" Dad Qiao touched his head and moved his position. "Don't put your mouth on my head. I thought it was raining!"

"Go on, you're the only one who talks a lot!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it shouldn't be a bad thing!" Qiao Jingjing could only calm down her mother's emotions first, "It's just about my future employment direction."

"Why does this have anything to do with your career direction again!" Qiao's father had no time to care about the cigarette he was holding in his mouth. "Don't you want to imitate Yu Tu and join him to work in some aerospace institute?!"

"No! Absolutely not!" Dad Qiao refused directly: "Your mother and I have been worried about you going to Beijing to go to school for many days. After that, you went to a confidential unit and couldn't see anyone all year round without telling me. I often can’t be reached by phone.”

"I don't agree!"

"I don't agree with it either!" It's rare to see that Father Qiao and Mother Qiao have a highly unified opinion on one thing.

"Oh, can you please listen to what I have to say!" Qiao Jingjing feels like her head is about to explode now. What's going on? Why doesn’t anyone want to sit down and listen to themselves? !

"I'm not going to the space station!"

"I mean, what do you think about me becoming an actor or something like that in the future?!"

"what?!"
