Chapter 1335 The third room is gradually getting better.
This morning was a housewarming day, filled with excitement and joy, especially the fun of blowing up the dog bowl. This afternoon, on the plane, the children stayed close to the window, peering out the whole time, and didn't sleep at all during the flight.
After dinner, I played with my grandparents for a while, and then started to doze off just after 7:30.
Liu Meilan and Ms. Yuan washed the children together and carried them to bed.
The two children had already fallen asleep and were snoring softly before we even finished reading the 300-word story.
Liu Meilan adjusted their sleeping positions, and the snoring stopped.
The room was warm and cozy with the heating on, and I was only covered with a thin blanket, so I wasn't worried about them kicking it off.
Ms. Yuan held Liu Meilan's hand, she really liked this daughter-in-law very much, and she was very glad that she had backed down and had not broken up Fu Chen and Liu Meilan.
However, given Fu Chen's temperament, Ms. Yuan felt that they couldn't be broken up.
"You've worked so hard this year! Not only did you take care of two children, but your grandparents also stayed there for almost three months, and it was all thanks to you! We've seen everything you've done, and your uncles have been very supportive of you and remember it all!"
Liu Meilan was very modest, saying, "My grandparents are of advanced age, so they can go to Sifang Island to recuperate. I really don't need to worry about them! I just take the children there often to sit and chat with them."
“Meilan, don’t underestimate this kind of behavior!” Ms. Yuan said dismissively. “Older people like to be like this; a happy mood can prolong life. With the old man and woman around, our Fu family is even more at ease.”
Although there are many people in the three generations of wealthy families, only three or four are truly suitable to reach high positions.
Of course, you have to be talented and capable, but there are only so many positions available, and it's impossible for one person to occupy them all.
Therefore, those with average abilities are bound to work in some functional departments and live a stable life.
Although it's a bit easier, you can see the whole thing at a glance.
The eldest son of the third branch is already the mayor; with another two years of experience, he could easily advance further.
As for the third son of the third branch, namely Fu Chen, the reason he was not promoted was not because he lacked ability, but because he was too young, so he was still stuck at the regimental level, but his accumulated merits were already enough.
The next step is to wait for the right time to go up.
The second son of the third wife works in the education department and is doing quite well.
It's obvious to the naked eye that the third branch of the family has a better future. Among these daughters-in-law, Liu Meilan's abilities are far superior.
Although she did not enter politics, Liu Meilan's role is often even greater in contemporary times, where economic development is the primary goal.
The rest of the Fu family entrusted their savings to Liu Meilan, asking her to invest in mutual funds. So while they weren't extremely wealthy, they were certainly financially comfortable.
No one in the Fu family needs to embezzle or accept bribes to improve the family's finances. This is one of the reasons why everyone in the Fu family has been able to steadily and peacefully rise through the ranks.
As long as they don't embezzle, no one can find out they've broken the law. As for unfairness, given the Fu family's background, no one dares to steal their credit.
As a result, Liu Meilan's status in the Fu family grew day by day.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and everyone will come together for a family reunion.
"Mom, is there no program for you on this year's Spring Festival Gala?" Liu Meilan asked, starting a conversation about topics her mother-in-law was interested in.
Ms. Yuan shook her head. "I'm too old for that. I don't want to sing on stage anymore. There are so many rehearsals, it's exhausting! Besides, we need to give young people more opportunities so that more talented young people can step out of the stage!"
"If the stage is filled with older people like us, and young people have no place to perform, it's actually very detrimental to arts and culture. We can't be selfish; we have to learn to make way for future generations so that more and more talented people can emerge!"
Both of these are true, and Ms. Yuan was quite frank: "Linghua participated in the gala last year, but not this year! Firstly, there aren't many new songs this year, and secondly, she doesn't want to be too prominent! Her agent advised her not to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Yuan pondered for a moment, "It's excellent that Linghua's agent has such an idea! There are only so many programs on the Spring Festival Gala, and so many people in the entertainment industry want to showcase themselves on this stage. Linghua already occupies a very large share in the popular singing genre. Trying to have it all would often be too conspicuous!"
"Although Lin Hua's husband's family has the Liang family to back her up, and her own family has you as her cousin, no one is causing trouble for Ling Hua. However, some people who don't know their place can be instigated by others and cause trouble. They might even do something disgusting. If they start making baseless accusations, it will only be bad for Ling Hua."
Liu Meilan thought so too at the time, "Yes! Linghua is now taking the entrance exam for a music academy, pursuing further education, and slowing down her pace."
Ms. Yuan nodded. "I know about that. I'm good at folk singing, not pop. I've already introduced Linghua to another teacher at the school! As long as her grades are decent, she should be able to get in! By the way, Linghua and Liang Cheng have been dating for almost a year now, right? How far have things progressed?"
Liu Meilan replied, "I spoke with my cousin on the phone last time, and they're getting along really well. Liang Cheng already went to visit my aunt and uncle before the New Year, and he'll be flying here to pay his respects on the third day of the Lunar New Year! Linghua isn't in a rush, but her family is quite anxious and wants them to get married as soon as possible!"
Ms. Yuan smiled. "Of course the Liang family is anxious. Liang Cheng is only two years younger than Fu Chen. You and Fu Chen's child is already in kindergarten, and Liang Cheng isn't even married yet! By the way, if they get married, will they have children soon?"
Liu Meilan patted her chest and said, "With me setting an example, since you're marrying into a family like the Liang family, the first thing to consider after marriage is having children. Everything else will have to come later! Besides, Linghua is already famous and needs time to mature, so studying is a very good way to do that! You can study and get pregnant and have children at the same time, without any problems!"
Ms. Yuan smiled, "The fact that Linghua has this idea proves that she is a smart child! As the saying goes, times change. Having a child early, with parents to help support her, will allow her to devote more energy to her career!"
Seeing her mother-in-law's expression, Liu Meilan asked curiously, "Mom, you look very emotional. Why is that?"
Ms. Yuan pointed through the window to the house on the far east side, "The second son of the Zheng family cried and begged to marry her. The family disagreed, the woman wanted to go abroad, and then they actually eloped together! They didn't report it beforehand, nor did they explain the reason, catching the family completely off guard. This time, none of the Zheng family members received a promotion!"
Liu Meilan was taken aback. "Is it that serious?"
Ms. Yuan nodded, "That's how serious it is! The eldest son of the Zheng family works in a sensitive unit, and many things need to be kept secret! With the second son involved in such an incident, the organization naturally needs to assess his safety."
