The beautiful military wife did not accompany the army, and the cold-faced officer panicked

Now that Liu Yang's apprenticeship had been decided, Professor Kong and Chen Tong began to talk about the common topic of their generation, which was their children's marriage.

Qian Zhe was lucky. Family planning had been implemented in the 1980s, and early marriage and early childbearing were no longer encouraged. Most young people in the city of Huajiang got married at around 25 years old, so Qian Zhe was not too old and there was no time to force him to get married.

Liu Yang married early. If it weren't for the smear campaign by Song Jianhua's family and Teacher Xu forcing her to get married, she would probably be living a free and easy single life now.

But Kong Shan is different. She is already 31 years old. No matter how much early marriage and early childbearing are opposed, people over 30, especially girls, are like aliens in the eyes of others. Those with poor conditions will say that they can't get married, and those with good conditions will say that they are too picky.

Professor Kong’s other two children have already married and had children. His grandson and granddaughter, one has graduated from junior high school, and the other has graduated from elementary school.

But the two children were in Southeast Asia, and they rarely saw each other throughout the year. He wished Kong Shan could get married and have a child.

When it comes to marriage, Kong Shan gets a headache. "Dad, if you keep pushing me, I'll go back to Nanyang to find my mom."

When Professor Kong got divorced, his youngest daughter, Kong Shan, was not yet an adult. Her brother had already started working and got married, and her sister had graduated from college and had a partner. She was the only one in the family who was truly affected.

She originally wanted to follow her mother, but her mother was going to live with her brother and help take care of the children. After taking care of her brother's children, her sister might take over and get married and have children, so Kong Shan suddenly became the redundant one.

So she had no choice but to follow Professor Kong. Fortunately, although Professor Kong was obsessed with academic research, he was very fond of his little daughter. For Kong Shan, he did not remarry even if many people asked him to find a partner.

Later, Kong Shan never thought about going to her mother again. Unless Professor Kong urged her to get married, she would mention it as a warning, but she didn't really want to go.

"Your mother is now with two little ones all day long, so she has no time to care whether you get married or not. But it's different with your father. You are the only one with him now. If you don't get married, how can he have a grandchild? Teacher Su in our department is several years younger than me, but he already has two grandchildren." Professor Kong was so anxious that he complained bitterly.

His eyesight and physical strength have been deteriorating recently, and he won't be able to teach for a few more years. When he thinks about retiring from the podium and becoming an empty-nest elderly, he feels really bad.

Kong Shan didn't like to hear this, so she put down her chopsticks and prepared to argue with her old father.

Professor Kong pointed at Qian Zhe first and said, "If you can find someone like Xiaozhe, I, your father, will wake up laughing at night."

So Professor Kong's ideal son-in-law is someone like Qian Zhe? Liu Yang suddenly felt that this melon seemed a bit delicious.

Qian Zhe and Kong Shan are indeed a perfect match, and the two families know each other well. It would seem like a good match if they could be together.

"Liu Yang, what are you looking at? You don't think there's really something going on between Xiaozhe and me, do you?" Kong Shan originally wanted to argue with her father, but when she saw Liu Yang's expression of being a spectator, she couldn't help but look towards Qian Zhe. Sure enough, Qian Zhe's face looked a little ugly.

Liu Yang was suddenly called out, and didn't dare to continue to eat melons, so he bravely stood up and said, "Of course not, if Teacher Kong could get together with Qian Gong, they should have been married a long time ago. I just think that Teacher Kong is so outstanding that she can't be defined by age. Besides, it's not that you don't want to get married, but you are too outstanding, and the man who can match you hasn't appeared yet."

Kong Shan couldn't help but give Liu Yang a thumbs up. "I was right about you. We are all women of the new era. How can we be like the old society, where we get married when we reach a certain age, have children after marriage, and raise them after giving birth... These things give me a headache just thinking about them."

Liu Yang smiled. It was not because she had vision, but because many years later, there were too many outstanding women like Kong Shan who were not defined by marriage and just wanted to be the best version of themselves.

But it's the 1980s now, and such ideas are somewhat unorthodox.

"Liu Yang, if you don't speak up for me, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and stop teaching you?" Professor Kong was unhappy. Before, the fight had been two to two, and the two older ones couldn't beat the two younger ones.

Now he finally accepted a new student, and he thought that on the first day of apprenticeship, even if the student didn't speak up for him, he wouldn't ruin his career.

Unexpectedly, the stage was torn to pieces before it was even set up.

"No, no, I understand Professor Kong's idea. In this world, what parent doesn't want their child to be happy? You said you want to have grandchildren, but in fact you just hope that Teacher Kong can find her own sense of belonging and have someone to share her joys and sorrows."

This time, Professor Kong felt relieved, but Kong Shan was not happy. "Liu Yang, which side are you on?"

Liu Yang swore that it was not that she wanted to be a fence-sitter, but that she could not afford to offend either of them.

Fortunately, Chen Tong spoke up in time to help her out. "Don't make fun of Liu Yang. She is still young and doesn't understand many things. Her marriage was also muddled. Have you ever seen a military wife living alone in a factory dormitory?"

Well, it seems that the flame of gossip is about to burn me.

Liu Yang smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to respond.

But Kong Shan took the opportunity to ask: "Liu Yang, how is your divorce going?"

The news that Liu Yang and Xu Zhiyuan were going to divorce was first spread by Qin Yue on the day when Liu Yang drowned in the time travel. Within a few days, the whole factory knew about it, and Liu Yang did not explain.

Later, more and more people did not believe that they would divorce. After a long time, most people said that the news of their divorce was fake.

Up to now, few people mentioned her divorce from Hua Zhiyuan.

Liu Yang was a little surprised when Kong Shan suddenly brought it up.

"Captain Xu and I will not divorce for the time being. Let's get to know each other for a while and see if we are suitable for each other." Liu Yang said very seriously, "Like Chief Chen said, I got married rather hastily, so when it comes to divorce, I think it's right to think it over carefully."

Chen Tong couldn't say anything, but since Liu Yang mentioned her, she couldn't help but respond, "What you said makes some sense."

Kong Shan immediately retorted, "Relationships are not experiments that can yield rewards by cultivating them. Either he loves you enough, or he treats you well enough. To love you enough means love at first sight, and to be together for life. To treat you well means he gives you whatever you want, and you can see him right away if you want to see him. If you need help, he can help you right away without asking whether it's right or wrong. Can Xu Zhiyuan do that?"

How did we suddenly get to such a profound topic?

Liu Yang had no experience in love, so how could she answer this? Her assessment of Xu Zhiyuan was just to score him and use the data to measure whether he met the standards.

Are you interested? Not yet.

Good enough for me? Xu Zhiyuan has a special status, it is impossible for him to be available whenever he is called, and it is even more impossible for him not to ask right from wrong. When the original owner did something wrong before, although he also took action, he only cleaned up the mess and did not treat the wrong as right to help.
