Chapter 414 Reaction
Her third brother was two years older than her.

Now, she, as the younger sister, has three children.

The oldest is almost four years old.

As for the third brother, he not only wasn't married, he didn't even have a girlfriend.

If my third brother hadn't been studying in Beijing, he would probably be pressured by our parents to get married if he were still in our hometown.

You know, when she went back to her hometown before, her parents were worried about her third brother not being married yet.

Although children and grandchildren have their own blessings, neither Grandpa Gu nor Yao Chunhua are the type to force their children.

However, Gu Yunzhou is relatively old compared to the others in the village.

They were afraid that Gu Yunzhou would be alone for the rest of his life.

They still hoped that someone could be with them.

They know how wonderful it is to have someone to spend the rest of your life with.

Gu Yunzhou listened to his younger sister's complaints: ...

He couldn't help but recall the questions his parents had asked him when he returned home before.

Well, after I tell my parents this time, I guess they'll have mixed feelings.

that's the truth.

That evening, Gu Yunzhou took some time to call home and tell them about his government-funded study abroad program.

“This is a good thing, we should go, we have to go.” At first, Yao Chunhua didn’t think that much about it.

I just think, how wonderful it would be to be selected by the school, and to go learn skills on a full-time scholarship, without spending any money. You must be incredibly talented and skilled to even be selected.

You should know that in the past, if you wanted to learn a skill, you could become an apprentice, and not only would you not get paid, you might even have to pay them.

There's also the possibility of becoming an apprentice, working like a slave for years without ever learning any skills.

How wonderful it would be if schools could fund their students' overseas education in other countries for free!

Although Yao Chunhua and her husband had never been abroad, they knew that some foreign countries had advanced technology.

Since it's advanced, we should go and learn from it before returning to China to develop our careers.

Then, the next second, Gu Yunzhou's words stunned them.

"...It will be at least 4-5 years before I can return!"

Yao Chunhua: ...

Upon hearing Gu Yunzhou's words, both Yao Chunhua and Gu's father fell silent.

Both parties fell silent on the phone.

After a long while, Yao Chunhua seemed to have finally made a decision. She sighed and said, "Alright, go ahead, go ahead. Just remember to call back often."

"Also, don't marry a foreign woman..."

As she spoke, Yao Chunhua hesitated for a moment, then said, "Never mind, never mind, it's fine even if she's a foreign wife, as long as you like her..."

Gu Yunzhou was already somewhat surprised when he heard his parents agree.

Unexpectedly, his mother then said something about foreign daughters-in-law, which made Gu Yunzhou both laugh and cry.

"Mom, weren't you and Dad always worried about my marriage? I'll be gone for 4-5 years, aren't you and Dad going to stop pressuring me?"

Yao Chunhua sighed, "What's the use of nagging? Will you listen if I nag you?"

"Besides, a good marriage can't be forced."

"Your parents have figured it out. They've stopped pressuring you and aren't in a hurry anymore. They're letting things take their course."

"Actually, your parents don't want to rush you, they just don't want you to be all alone when you get old."

"But then I thought, even if you're alone, as long as you're safe and happy, that's fine too."

Not everyone has to be the same as everyone else to be considered normal and good.

The most important thing is your own feelings.

What you feel is good is truly good.

If you compromise because of certain people or things, it's destined to be bad. Gu Yunzhou was stunned, then his eyes filled with emotion.

In fact, Gu Yunzhou had always known that although his parents were not very educated, they were always very good parents.

They are really good to these children, very open-minded.

There was never coercion, only care and protection.

Therefore, family is so important to him, his younger sister, and everyone else in the Gu family.

Because they are so good.

Gu Yunzhou blinked, concealing the emotion in his slightly reddened eyes, and said in a relaxed tone, "Father and Mother, don't worry, your son is not against marriage."

"I just haven't met someone I like yet. When I do, I'll bring them back for you all to meet."

Hearing his words, Yao Chunhua and her husband were finally relieved.

"That's good."

"By the way, when are you going to study abroad?"

"In another month, but before that, I will go back to my hometown."

"Being able to go back to my hometown is good, that's good."

After all, this trip will last for 4-5 years, and the chances of them returning on vacation are slim. So before they go, the students should go home and reunite with their families.

After hanging up the phone, Yao Chunhua immediately got to work with the old man.

The third child will be going home soon.

He stayed in country A for 4-5 years.

I'm in an unfamiliar place, and I don't know if I'll have trouble adjusting to the local environment or the food.

Yao Chunhua knew that she was quite skilled at making pickles and some local snacks.

Her children also love the food she makes.

Therefore, she plans to take this opportunity to do more.

Most of it was given to the third son, so he could take it with him to Country A.

After all, I'm going to country A, and I don't know if the items can be sent there.

Therefore, we need to prepare in advance, and it's best to prepare more so that he can take them with him when he goes.

Also, send some to Ningning and the eldest brother.

Meanwhile, Gu Yunnan and Su Miao, who had just finished their work in the orchards and medicinal herb gardens in the mountains and were returning home, also heard the news that Gu Yunzhou was about to study abroad on a government scholarship.

Of course, they also learned that Yao Chunhua and her husband planned to make pickles and other snacks for Gu Yunzhou to take with them.

So they immediately joined in.
-
Yao Chunhua and her husband did not hide the fact that Gu Yunzhou wanted to study abroad on a government scholarship, and they would sometimes mention it casually.

Yao Chunhua and her husband didn't take it seriously.

But in the eyes of the villagers or others, it was a big deal.

After all, over the years, the Gu family has become increasingly different in the eyes of others.

Therefore, any slight movement in the Gu family is seen as a major event by everyone.

Gu Yunzhou's admission to Beijing University was already a major event.

Now that he is going to study abroad on a government scholarship, it is an even bigger deal.

"This third son of the Gu family is amazing! He's studying abroad on a government scholarship, so his grades and abilities must be excellent."

"Of course, otherwise how could I have been selected by the school?"

“That’s right. If he goes away for 4 or 5 years, Gu Yunzhou will be in his thirties when he comes back.”

"Yes, Gu Yunzhou is getting a bit old now. Do you think Chunhua might arrange for him to go on blind dates, get married, and then go abroad?"

"Impossible. I already heard about this from Chunhua. She said she wouldn't pressure me into marriage or force me; she'd let things take their course."

"Let it be? How can we just let it be? What if Gu Yunzhou never gets married, or finds a foreign wife?"
