The invitation letter for the Dongfeng Award clearly stated that you can bring four family members.
Lu Jing cannot accompany Wen Jiu to the award ceremony for the time being to avoid being scribbled by reporters.
Those four family members are suitable for parents, grandparents, and grandparents.
Wen Jiu nodded: "Okay, I'll call my grandparents later and ask them if they can go."
After the family had finished eating and tidying up, Wen Hua and Yu Xiazhi wanted to go to the factory to have a look. They went out when they were ready.
When the two of them just walked out of the house, their neighbor happened to be going out as well.
Wen Hua immediately said: "Old Wu, don't forget to watch the Dongfeng Awards live broadcast on weekend nights!"
The neighbor Lao Wu asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Wen Hua: "My daughter has been nominated!"
Old Wu said with envy: "Oh, that's awesome! It brings glory to our entire community! From now on, your house will be Xiaojiu's former residence!"
Wen Hua: "What's the big deal? I was also nominated for the Dragon Travel Award and the Inclusiveness Award!"
Yu Xia Zhi was embarrassed: "Oh, Lao Wen, you are serious. Didn't my daughter say that this award is highly competitive? Just being nominated does not necessarily mean you will actually get it."
Lao Wu: "It's awesome to be nominated! I don't watch variety shows, but I have heard of these three awards you mentioned! If we win one, our community will take advantage of it!"
…
At home, Wen Jiu was speechless when she heard her parents show off like this.
It is estimated that by tonight, the entire community and employees in the parents' factory will know.
But they were happy, and so was she.
Achievements in career are, on the one hand, for yourself, and on the other hand, they are to make your family proud.
Wen Jiu immediately made a video call to her grandfather and told her grandparents the good news.
The first time I tried it, I didn't get through.
Lu Jing came over and asked, "Do your grandparents live far away? If not, I will send you there."
The main reason was that he had not met these two elders yet, and he was about to prepare to propose to Wen Jiu, so he had to meet all her important family members.
Wen Jiu replied: "My grandparents are behind Wushan. It's not far from here, but the road is quite circuitous. We won't go there today. They are usually very busy."
Lu Jing was curious: "You have retired early at such an old age, right? What are you busy with?"
Wen Jiu explained: "The two of them bought a field of their own, planted organic corn there, and went fishing when they were not busy. Dad said countless times that he would take them over, but they were unwilling."
"Why don't you want to?"
"The corn they grow and the fish they catch are sold very well, and many people in the city come to book reservations from them." Wen Jiu sighed, "They feel that working and selling things gives them a special sense of accomplishment, and they don't want to be idle and don't want to be idle."
I am willing to move here and let the younger generation take care of me."
Lu Jing suddenly understood Wen Jiu's career acumen. It turned out to be her family inheritance.
From the grandparents down to Wen Jiu, they are all career-minded.
Wen Jiu called again and got through this time.
On the other side of the screen, Wen Jiu's grandfather was wearing a straw hat and a white undershirt, with a loving and warm smile on his wheat-colored face. He was carrying a fishing rod on his back, and the chirping of cicadas and birds could be heard from time to time in the green woods behind him.
Grandpa Wen smiled and asked, "Xiaojiu, what do you want from grandpa?"
Wen Jiu pulled Lu Jing to her side: "Grandpa, this is my boyfriend."
Lu Jing quickly and obediently called out: "Hello, grandpa."
Grandpa Wen looked Lu Jing up and down. He was not very satisfied or picky: "Oh, you two are so good at it!"
After saying that, he suddenly zoomed out to reveal his belt: "Oh, I've gained weight recently and this belt is a bit tight."
He pretended to touch his belt, but actually... let Wen Jiu see a big fish over one meter long hanging on his belt.
He came to show off the big fish he caught.
But Lu Jing didn't understand the mentality of fishermen, so he immediately said: "Grandpa, Xiaojiu and I will buy you a new belt right away..."
Wen Jiu bumped his chest lightly with her elbow, reminding him to shut up.
If flattery doesn't hit the point, why not not shoot it at all?
Wen Jiu looked at the screen, her eyes widened, with a look of surprise and admiration on her face: "Grandpa, how did you catch such a big fish? You are so awesome! You really deserve to be my grandpa!"
Grandpa was satisfied and smiled happily: "What's so great about this? Such a small fish! I've caught bigger ones before!"
Lu Jing understood now and found the right direction to please Grandpa Wen: "It's such a big fish. I have never seen such a big fish in my life. Is this a fish from the sea?"
Grandpa Wen immediately smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, I fished in the small lake behind this house mountain. When will you two come over, I will take you two to fish together!"
Wen Jiu: "I'm afraid that won't be possible recently. I have to prepare to attend the award ceremony of three awards recently. Grandpa, would you and grandma go to the Dongfeng Award award ceremony with me the day after tomorrow?"
Grandpa Wen thought for a while and waved his hand: "I won't go, I won't go. I don't pay attention to the awards given by you young people. I haven't even heard of them."
Wen Jiu said coquettishly: "Go ahead, if I can get it, I really want to interact with you on stage."
Grandpa Wen couldn't bear to refuse his good granddaughter's request, but he didn't want to go either.
He now goes to the cornfield to do farm work in the morning, goes fishing in the afternoon, and goes to the square to practice Tai Chi in the evening. He is so busy all day long that he really doesn't want to go out.
He hesitated for a moment, then blamed Grandma Wen: "Then you go ask your grandma, she will decide."
Wen Jiu: "Okay."
So Wen Jiu went to call her grandma again.
Unexpectedly, grandma hung up her video.
But after a few seconds, grandma called again, with a soft and friendly tone: "What's wrong with Xiaojiu? Grandma is cooking, Ichijo."
Wen Jiu replied: "Grandma, I am going to attend the award ceremony the day after tomorrow. I want to take you and grandpa with me, but just now grandpa said that I want to ask your opinion."
As soon as grandma heard about grandpa, her tone immediately changed: "He really lost his temper and died speechless. He caught that fish yesterday. He showed it off all night yesterday, and he hung it on his waist again early this morning. From the village
Walk to the end of the village and show off everywhere. Dongfeng."
"..." Wen Jiu realized that grandma wasn't cooking at all, but was playing mahjong.
She didn't even listen to herself carefully, she just complained casually.
She asked again: "Grandma, I have an awards ceremony the day after tomorrow. Will you and grandpa come?"
Grandma: "Xiaojiu is so awesome! But aren't my grandparents about to have a good harvest this time? There is really no time. Jiutong."
Wen Jiu: "Okay..."
Grandma: "Xiaojiu, come over when you are free. Grandma will make you your favorite steamed fish with sophora flower. Grandma is going to pull corns now, so let's not talk about it for now. It's all about it! Give me money, give me money!"
Wen Jiu: "..."
Just now we were talking about making breakfast, but now it’s time to pull corns again!
She could tell that grandma's thoughts were all on playing mahjong.
She had no choice but to stop disturbing her and said goodbye to her grandma.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Jiu noticed that Lu Jing had been looking at her, turned around and met his smiling eyes.
Wen Jiu was a little embarrassed: "My grandparents are like this. They are obsessed with what they love to do and are not willing to live the life we arranged for them..."
Lu Jing said in an envious tone: "But I like the atmosphere of your home very much."
It can be seen that they all like Wen Jiu, but they don't follow her in everything.
They held Wen Jiu in their hands and protected her, but they also treated her like a friend.
He was really envious.
His family now only includes his grandfather.
But when my grandfather was in his prime, he focused all his energy on the company, and actually didn’t have much energy to accompany him.
He respected and loved his grandfather, but he had not experienced the way Wen Jiu got along with her grandparents.
He was really envious and wanted to have such a simple, smoky family.
Wen Jiu seemed to see through his thoughts.
She reached out and held his face, and said to him seriously: "From now on, if I love you, my whole family will love you, and they are all your family."
Lu Jing's heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and the next second, he hugged Wen Jiu.
At this moment, all he could think about was: marry her as soon as possible.
If you love the right person, you will be happy for the rest of your life.
She will give him everything he cares about, even the family he wants most.
