Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Eh?

Wu Youde's sudden turn of events made Wu Qionghua a little stunned, but she quickly realized that this was her father's usual style.

When chatting with him, his imagination is always unrestrained and his thoughts jump a lot.

Wu Qionghua thought for a moment, and then said, "Dad, you're not planning to marry me off, are you?"

"I don't have that intention."

Looking at this beautiful girl in front of him, who is more beautiful than flowers, how could Wu Youde bear to let her go?

He smiled and waved his hand, "I respect your personal opinion on marriage, but I won't watch you jump into the fire pit."

"..."

What he said is the same as what he didn't say.

Wu Qionghua curled her lips, but quickly extracted a key point from it, which was that she would not be forced to get married.

"Hey, thanks, Dad. You're really open-minded!"

Wu Qionghua quickly filled Wu Youde's cup with tea, "Come on, Dad, I'll toast you a cup."

Wu Youde didn't refuse. He held his teacup and clinked it with hers, then smiled and said, "From what you said, did your mother say something to you?"

"That's right. My mother said that I will be 20 soon and it's time to find a husband. She also asked me what kind of person I like and she helped me look for one..."

Wu Qionghua curled her lips and said with a lack of interest: "Why do you have to get married at 20? What's so good about getting married?"

Wu Youde smiled and said, "That's just because you haven't met the person you like yet. If you do, you will want to be with him/her forever!"

"maybe……"

Wu Qionghua said casually: "Then I'll talk about it when I meet him..."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wu Youde with wide eyes and said seriously, "Dad, you just said that you would respect my ideas. My idea is not to rush and wait until I find the person who makes my heart beat before getting married!"

"Yeah, no problem."

Wu Youde agreed very readily!

For a woman, marriage is the most important event in her life. As a father, he naturally hopes that his daughter can live a happy and fulfilling life.

In this matter, you must be cautious and not hasty.

Wu Youde smiled and asked, "What about the others? Tell me what plans you have for the future."

"In the future..."

Wu Qionghua rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Dad, how about I go abroad to study?"

"Where?"

"Of course it's the World University that our family runs!"

Wu Youde pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "Okay, you are older now and should be more independent. Furthering your studies is also a good way to go."

"Okay, go back and call Chen Xing in."

"okay!"

Wu Qionghua stood up quickly, but did not leave. She smiled and whispered, "Dad, what did Chen Xing write? Tell me."

Wu Youde glanced at her and asked, "Don't you know the rules?"

"I know."

Wu Qionghua said confidently: "But you are the one who made the rules... Besides, you can tell him what I wrote later. I don't mind."

"Go out and call someone." Wu Youde waved his hand.

"Tsk~ stingy!"

Wu Qionghua pouted, turned around and walked out.

The so-called rules are,

Wu Youde would not leak what anyone had written in advance until he had talked to everyone individually.

After talking to everyone individually, he will release some content appropriately, but again, he will not reveal who wrote it.

To put it bluntly, it means anonymity.

This move is naturally for the children's self-esteem, so that they don't have any psychological burden. Otherwise, if they are rated the worst this time, they will still be the worst next time. If it goes on for a long time, they will always be the worst...

Among a group of brothers and sisters, it is inevitable that some will feel ashamed and thus feel resentful, or even give up on themselves and become completely bad.

Wu Youde didn't want to see either of these two situations.

The purpose of this monthly exam is not to rank the children, but purely to get to know them. In addition, it is also an opportunity to spend time with them alone and chat with them.

Wu Youde is alone, but he has twenty-one children in his family!

It is impossible for him to meet and talk to all the children every day. Not to mention the children, he cannot even meet their mothers every day.

This is the disadvantage of having many wives and many children...

Not meeting each other often does not have much impact on adults, but it is different for children. Now is the time when they are forming their values, so we still need to pay more attention to them.

In a nutshell, you need to see them more often to prevent them from growing into the wrong direction.

After all, it’s my own seed!

This monthly exam can ensure that he can meet with each child every month and sit down and talk individually.

……

The second person to come in was Wu Chenxing.

The order of calling is based on age, which is the fairest and cannot be criticized.

When Wu Chenxing came in, the first thing he did was to call out respectfully, "Dad!"

"Come, sit down."

Wu Youde waved his hand, smiling warmly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, placing it in front of Wu Chenxing. Wu Chenxing quickly took it with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Dad."

Wu Youde smiled and said, "We are father and son, there is no need to be so polite."

"Ah."

Wu Chenxing nodded, then started laughing, and his sitting posture became much more natural.

Wu Youde smiled and said, "I heard from your mother that you want to study abroad at Harvard University in the United States? Where do you want to go?"

"Dad, the United States has been established for less than a hundred years, but it has already become the world's most powerful country. The speed of its rise is rare in the world!"

Wu Chenxing sat up straight and continued, "As the ancients said, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. What you learn from books is always shallow... I just want to go out and see the world..."

"What are you looking at?" Wu Youde asked.

Wu Chenxing was silent, and then said: "Look at how they develop. Why is their economy so strong and their technology so advanced?"

"So what do you do after you read it and figure it out?" Wu Youde asked again.

Wu Chenxing raised his head and looked at Wu Youde with a sharp gaze, "Dad, last time I heard you say that we were going back soon, right?"

Wu Youde did not comment.

After returning from the capital to pay condolences, Wu Chenxing asked him many questions, asking why so many absurd things happened?

Wu Youde said it would be soon.

When it comes to going back, naturally, we should go back to where we came from...

Seeing that Wu Youde didn't speak,

Wu Chenxing pursed his lips, the light in his eyes became more determined and blazing, and he continued, "Dad, I really want to contribute to everyone and make our country strong and prosperous quickly. Every time I open a history book, the unwillingness surges in my heart like a tide!"

"How powerful and glorious was China in the past?"

"Thinking back to the ancient days, when the Han Dynasty was mighty, 'Anyone who openly offends the mighty Han Dynasty will be punished, no matter how far away they are.' How domineering and heroic that was. The Han cavalry roamed the world, making the barbarians in all directions tremble in fear."

"During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the city was even more dazzling. The capital Chang'an became the center of the world. Envoys, merchants, and scholars from various countries flocked to the city. 'The gates of the nine heavens were opened, and people from all over the world dressed in formal attire to pay homage to the emperor.' What a prosperous scene that was!"

"Although the Song Dynasty was weak militarily, its economy and culture were highly prosperous, and scientific and technological inventions emerged in an endless stream. The exquisite porcelain and beautiful poems all demonstrated the wisdom and talent of the Chinese nation..."

"During the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He led a huge fleet to the Western Ocean seven times, showing the world China's powerful national strength and broad mind!"

"We have a splendid history of five thousand years, which was created by the wisdom and courage of countless ancestors!"

"And what about Europe and America? How many years of history do they have? They are not even a fraction of ours! What right do they have to be so arrogant in this day and age?"

"We Chinese people should never fall behind. We have the ability and wisdom to rise again, reproduce our former glory, and let the world appreciate the great charm of China again!!"

"..."

Looking at the flushed and passionate Wu Chenxing, Wu Youde was so shocked that his eyes widened and his face was full of shock.

He really didn't expect that his second son, who was always calm and steady, would burst into such strong emotions at this moment.

Wu Chenxing was like a burning fire, his ardent patriotic feelings bursting out from his every word and every expression.

In Wu Youde's memory,

Wu Chenxing has always been a calm, rational child who does things in a steady and orderly manner.

But now, Wu Chenxing in front of us is like a passionate warrior, shouting for the national justice in his heart. His firm eyes and passionate words all show his deep love and responsibility for the motherland.

This scene really surprised Wu Youde.

Wu Youde stared at Wu Chenxing quietly, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.

There was shock, shock at the patriotism that was as hot as magma in Wu Chenxing's heart; there was relief, relief that her child had such noble sentiments and lofty ideals; but there was also a little worry, worry that this overly strong emotion would cause Wu Chenxing to lose his rational judgment on the road ahead.

But no matter what, Wu Youde now clearly realized that his son was no longer the simple boy he remembered, but an ambitious young man who cared about the country and the future of the nation.

"He has grown up..."

Finally, Wu Youde sighed softly in his heart, recalling in his mind the child who had just learned to write, wrote a few lines of the Three Character Classic crookedly, and then ran to him happily to show them.

"Could it be that I have also produced a talented horse?"

Wu Youde was very excited again. He laughed, picked up the cup and took two sips of tea, then said in a deep voice: "It's great that you have this idea. I'm very pleased!"

"Get ready, then go to Harvard..."

"When you return from your studies, I will be waiting for you in the capital. Millions of territories and billions of people are also waiting for you. We will provide you with a stage as big as your ability!"

"Go ahead. You don't have to take the monthly exam next month."

Hearing this,

Wu Chenxing was immediately delighted and said excitedly: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely study hard, watch carefully, and remember carefully. I will definitely not let you down or embarrass you!"

"Well, let's go."

Wu Youde waved his hand, and Wu Chenxing stood up and left.

The father and son never talked about how to get to Harvard, or how to return to the mainland to realize their ambitions...

These are a piece of cake for the Wu family.

……

Next,

Wu Youde met with other children one after another and talked with them, discussing the content of their test papers, their plans for the future, etc.

This year is already 1976.

Some of the children in the family are already adults, such as Wu Qionghua, Wu Chenxing, Wu Taoyao, Wu Chenliang, Wu Luyi, Bai Chengyu, Wu Qingyuan, Wu Yifeng, etc.

As a father, Wu Youde has to take care of these matters.

Of course, you have to go to college, but which major to study and which school to go to requires careful consideration.

Things like choosing a major you don't like in order to attend a good school, and planning to work in a job you don't like in the future, do not exist in the Wu family.

With the Wu family's current status, the descendants of the Wu family can choose any university and any major in the world, and they don't even need to take exams.

Just tell us where you are going and what major you want to study, and we will arrange it for you.

……

After this monthly exam,

All the eighteen-year-old children in the Wu family had decided on their colleges and majors. Except for Wu Chenxing who went to Harvard in the United States, the rest, including Wu Qionghua, Wu Taoyao, Wu Chenliang, Wu Qingyuan, etc., all chose to go to the "World University" in Cornwall.

Just different majors.

Wu Youde naturally knew what they were thinking. Since they were all going to the same school, wouldn't they be able to meet each other often and go out to play often?

Moreover, this World University is a school run by our company, so wouldn’t it be comfortable to study in it?

In addition,

Studying in Cornwall, the family is far away and there is no discipline or restriction at home, so can they play however they want?

Several children who were determined to study at the World University were so excited and happy when they came out of Wu Youde's study.

……

The next day at breakfast,

At the dinner table, Xue Chunmei raised the idea and asked whether we should move to Cornwall next year.

After she said this, Qiao Yue, Teacher Bai, Li Hongli, Tian Zao and others also spoke up, saying that they were going to study in Cornwall and could only come back once a year.

Will he learn bad things?

Will I neglect my studies?

Wu Youde was deeply moved after hearing this. It is true that a mother worries about her child even when he is far away, and this is true no matter how old the child is.

He waved his hand and said, "This is the only way. It is impossible to keep them all in front of you and watch over them for the rest of their lives. Everyone has a different life and their own destiny."

“As parents, we can pave the way for them, but we cannot walk it for them.”

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became a little solemn. Qin Huairu, Xue Chunmei and others all frowned in thought, with different expressions on their faces.

We all understand the truth, but when it really happens to us, who can remain calm?

After all, they are my own flesh and blood!

After breakfast,

Wu Youde was reading in the garden when Chen Xueru came over. When he saw her coming, Wu Youde closed the book and said with a smile, "Is it about Chen Xing's matter?"

Except for Wu Chenxing, everyone else went to Cornwall to study at university.

At least the others can take care of each other, and Cornwall is Margaret's duchy, which is also the base camp of their Wu family in Europe.

It's safe there!

But Wu Chenxing went to the United States, which was not only farther away, but the Wu family's influence and resources there were also much weaker than those in Cornwall.

There is simply no comparison between the two.
