Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1001 Yu Xiaoxiao, pressured to get married

in the living room.

Qi Tongwei chatted casually with the Yu family mother and daughter.

Madam Yu was mainly asking questions, Qi Tongwei was answering, and Yu Xiaoxiao was listening intently.

They were asking mostly trivial, everyday questions.

"Tongwei, you and your husband often live apart. How is your relationship?"

"good."

When answering this question, Qi Tongwei glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao casually and noticed that she had slowed down her movements as she ate the apple.

This woman seems to be...

Madam Yu laughed and said, "Oh, you young people are really something. You are all very career-oriented. Unlike me back then, I only knew how to be a good wife and mother. My husband was my everything and my children were my everything."

Qi Tongwei said, "Yes, times have changed."

This also reflects the significant achievements my country has made in improving the status of women, and the idea that women can hold up half the sky is gradually taking root in people's hearts.

Madam Yu nodded. "That's true. By the way, I remember you only have one daughter, Tiantian, right?"

During the Chinese New Year, Qi Tongwei and Luo Qian visited Yu Huabei and his wife.

Qi Tongwei nodded. "Yes."

"Don't you want to have another one?"

Qi Tongwei said, "Aunt Zhang, you've forgotten that our country now has a family planning policy. As Party members and leading cadres, we should set an example even more."

Mrs. Yu realized, "Oh, oh, look at me, I completely forgot about that."

Back in our day, we could have as many children as we wanted, even ten or eight.

Unfortunately, my body just won't cooperate.

After giving birth to Xiaoxiao, things stopped working; otherwise, she could have had one or two younger siblings with her.

Honestly, Tongwei, don't you feel any regret?

We Chinese people value carrying on the family line and having many children; having only one child always feels a little lacking.

Qi Tongwei couldn't tell whether Madam Yu's words were directed at him or a warning to Yu Xiaoxiao, but he leaned more towards the latter.

What could he possibly regret? He had women, and his desire for money and power was fully satisfied.

They've had three or four children, though only one is a daughter.

For him, there are basically no regrets in his life.

If it's about pressuring someone to get married, then he'll definitely lend a hand.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Aunt Zhang, I personally feel it's pretty good."

I never really thought that much about having children and continuing the family line.

Life is short, only a few decades, a mere thirty thousand days.

In this limited and precious time, there is no answer as to which way to go.

Because for the vast majority of people, no matter what choice you make, you will have regrets at some point in time.

Those who are not married regret not being married, as they miss out on the joys of family life.

After getting married and having children, I feel that my life is restricted and I am not free.

Ordinary people want to get rich, then they want to become officials, then they get tired of the backstabbing and intrigue in officialdom. In the end, they think it's better to just be an ordinary person.

What you get may not be what you like, and you will always be caught between regret and loss.

Therefore, I believe that, in the end, one should listen to one's inner thoughts at the time.

Do what you want to do, love what you want to love, take control of your own life. If you can't be brilliant, then live a little more freely.

It's best to let things happen naturally, like marriage and children.

At least for now, I'm content with having just this one child; whether it's a boy or a girl doesn't matter.

Mrs. Yu was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

"How can we do whatever we want? People have to have some responsibility and mission. Procreation and the continuation of the family line are the most important tasks of mankind. If we could do whatever we wanted, wouldn't mankind become extinct?"

Hearing such an obvious hint, Qi Tongwei realized that this was yet another marriage-urging scene.

He nodded with a smile, then raised an eyebrow at Yu Xiaoxiao.

A blush crept onto the latter's face as he glared fiercely at Qi Tongwei from behind Madam Yu's back.

"Aunt Zhang, what you said makes some sense. However, even if everyone takes it as their responsibility to preserve the heritage, it will still become extinct when it is destined to be extinct."

Human beings may seem powerful, but in the grand scheme of the universe, they are as insignificant as dust.

Tens of millions of years ago, dinosaurs were the rulers of the Earth. Now, only some rare fossils and remains remain.

So the idea of ​​carrying on the family line is just a shackle that humans have put on themselves.

Besides, with so many people in the world, it doesn't make a difference if one or two people don't get married or have children.

Madam Yu frowned, feeling that Qi Tongwei was neither "lovable" nor "friendly" today, and still hadn't understood her meaning or stood on her side.

For a moment, all my enthusiasm waned.

He waved his hand.

"Oh well, forget it, I can't argue with you young people."

She glanced at the clock on the wall and said with a hint of annoyance, "It's getting late, I'm sleepy, you two can chat."

Having said that, he stood up.

Qi Tongwei also stood up, looked at his watch, and realized it was almost nine o'clock.

Thinking that it wasn't appropriate for a lone man and woman to stay there, they decided to take their leave.

"I didn't realize it was already nine o'clock. Aunt Zhang, it seems I have to go too."

Since returning to China, he has been busy reporting on his work and understanding the situation in the province, and has not had time to rest or adjust to the time difference.

It's only because he's physically strong that he could have held on; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure it.

Upon hearing that Qi Tongwei was leaving...

Mrs. Yu, unaware that her husband had something else to discuss with Qi Tongwei, considered for a moment and said:

"Tongwei, why don't you sit for a while? I'll go ask Lao Yu if he has anything to say to you."

Qi Tongwei advised, "Aunt Zhang, let's not bother Secretary Yu any further."

Before I return to Beishan tomorrow morning, I will visit Secretary Yu again. If there's anything I need to discuss, I can simply go to Secretary Yu's office.

"Alright then," Mrs. Yu said politely. "Tongwei, don't blame Lao Yu. That's just his personality. Once he starts talking about work, he can go on and on."

Qi Tongwei smiled slightly: "As a key leader of the provincial party committee, Secretary Yu is extremely busy, which I can understand."

"Tongwei, you haven't had a proper rest since you got back, have you?"

I took a break in the afternoon.

"That's not enough. Why don't you stay here and rest tonight?" Madam Yu politely suggested.

Qi Tongwei waved his hand repeatedly, "No need, Auntie, I'll just go back to the guesthouse to rest."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yu did not linger any longer and instructed Yu Xiaoxiao, "Alright, Xiaoxiao, you take Tongwei down."

Yu Xiaoxiao put the cleanly gnawed apple core on the table, stood up, and said, "Okay, Mom."

Qi Tongwei said goodbye to Madam Yu and, accompanied by Yu Xiaoxiao, walked out of the No. 3 compound.

As soon as he stepped outside, a gust of cold wind hit his face, causing Qi Tongwei to instinctively tighten his coat.

In late September, the temperature along the Han River can drop to as low as seven or eight degrees Celsius at night.

Qi Tongwei first called the driver and asked him to bring the car over.

When they arrived, Qi Tongwei had already arranged for a driver to wait outside the provincial party committee compound.

"You go in, I'll wait here," Qi Tongwei said, looking at Yu Xiaoxiao, who had her arms crossed and her loose pajamas creating two huge curves.

I'm really worried that my two little cuties will get cold.

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I'll see you to your car instead."
