The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 312 Relatives
Liu Guodong is also a well-known figure in the school. Before he entered university, he was taken to the laboratory by the dean of the biology department. Now, after two years of study, he has become an expert in the laboratory.

In the entire biology laboratory, many first-year graduate students come to him for advice, and there is nothing he cannot handle.

The dean has expressed more than once that he would allow him to continue his studies and accept him as his disciple, but unfortunately Liu Guodong refused.

The dean of the biology department, Liu Hua, once called to complain, "Mr. Liu, your son is definitely an expert in biology research. I have told him many times that I want to take him as my disciple, but he refused. Does he want to go into business after graduation, just like you do?"

"He hasn't mentioned his aspirations in this regard, but I do know his plans for graduate school."

The dean asked curiously, "What plans does your son have? Tell me so that I can cater to his interests. I really want to accept this disciple."

"You really can't accept this disciple." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Before going to college, he told me that he wanted to study biology as an undergraduate, but he wanted to study under Mr. Yuan as a graduate student."

"Agriculture? Isn't this a waste of natural resources?" The dean was very dissatisfied: "His talent should be used to study the most cutting-edge science, not agriculture."

"The most cutting-edge science in the world is nothing more than having a full stomach." Liu Hua said seriously: "If you can't even have a full stomach, then all the cutting-edge science is just castles in the air."

"I'm not disparaging agronomy, but I feel it's a pity. Can't you do something to make him change his mind? If he wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination, our school is better. Is there any school in the country that can compare with our school?"

Liu Hua flatly refused: "I am glad that my child has a clear plan for his future, and I will not easily change his mind. He has his own plan for life, and he has the motivation to realize it. It is not advisable to use parental style to change his plan."

"What a pity! Old Yuan is so lucky. This guy will be a proud disciple in the future."

This time, the father and son both chose to rest on Sunday, which made Liu Feifei overjoyed.

"It's rare." Liu Feifei said jokingly, "I thought there was no Sunday in your calendar. The sun is rising from the west today, and you two are both taking a day off."

Liu Guodong asked in confusion: "What is my dad busy with now?"

Liu Feifei smiled and said, "It's not surprising that your father is busy. He is a teacher, an engineer, and is also responsible for product design in his factory. You are just a junior student. What are you busy with?"

"Studying and doing experiments make my life very fulfilling every day." Liu Guodong said with satisfaction, "Every day, I can learn new knowledge and make new discoveries. The dean recently asked me to join his research group. I am considering it. If I really join, I am afraid I will hardly come home on Sundays."

Liu Feifei sighed and said, "People say that if a woman marries a soldier, she will be alone every day. I married a scientist and gave birth to a scientist. My life is even more miserable."

Liu Guodong was helpless in the face of his mother's complaints and could only look to his father for help.

"Okay, stop acting." Liu Hua said with a smile, "You must be so happy in your heart. Your son is so successful. You must be so proud in front of your friends."

"Hateful." Liu Feifei hit Liu Hua: "Can't you just stop exposing me? Besides, I'm really bored at home. There's nothing else to do every day except taking care of the kids. You can't let me complain."

Liu Guodong smiled and said, "Isn't it okay for me to stay at home and accompany you today? When I came back, I borrowed two videotapes from my friends. Let's watch the videos at home."

The Lucky Five was a comedy. Liu Hua could not remember it clearly. Although he had a photographic memory, his mind was full of scientific research data. How could he remember these movies?

Halfway through the video, the son paused it, looked at the video, and then looked at his mother. "Dad, do you think this actress looks like my mom?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Yes, your mother was prettier than her when she was young, even without makeup."

Liu Feifei was very proud and said with a smile: "That's right, when I was young, I was also a flower, but now I'm old."

To be honest, Liu Feifei is not old now. Although she is over 40, she has no wrinkles at all.

She had never suffered any hardship in life. Liu Hua did everything possible to ensure her happiness. Even during those years when cosmetics were scarce, the vanishing cream she used was exchanged by Liu Hua from the system, which had the effects of beauty and anti-aging.

Liu Hua smiled and said, "I seem to have heard people talk about this actress. She is from the Manchu ethnic group, I think her clan is Guarja, and her grandfather is from Shenyang."

Liu Feifei smiled and said, "My grandfather also moved here from the Northeast, and I am also a Manchu."

Liu Hua was dumbfounded and asked curiously, "You are also Manchu, how come I didn't know this before? Isn't your household registration Han?"

"My grandfather thought that as a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, there would definitely be problems, so he just reported himself as Han." Liu Feifei smiled and said, "Anyway, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, our family name has been changed to Liu, and we didn't keep the Manchu rules, so we are no different from the Han people."

"Liu? You're not from the Niu Hulu clan, are you?"

Liu Feifei nodded: "Yes, it's the Niu Hulu clan who gave birth to the corrupt official Heshen. My grandfather once participated in the Northeast Army and graduated from the Northeast Military Academy. Later, when the Japanese came, he moved to the capital."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Hey, maybe you are related to this actor. Aren't the eight major Manchu surnames related by relatives?"

Liu Feifei nodded: "Since they look so similar, it's possible."

What Liu Feifei didn't expect was that within two years, when Liu Hua took her to Hong Kong for a trip, she was often mistaken for Rosamund Kwan on the street, which caused a lot of hype in the media. The two beauties also officially met and turned out to be relatives.

After watching the video and making a sumptuous meal, the whole family was very happy.

In the evening, what Liu Hua didn't expect was that an uninvited guest came, someone he hadn't seen for many years, Yi Zhonghai.

Although Yi Zhonghai is over seventy years old, he still stands straight. Although his hair is gray, he is still in good spirits.

"Hua Zi, long time no see."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "You have many children and grandchildren now, so it doesn't matter whether we outsiders meet you or not."

"I also want to thank you for your advice back then. I am where I am today."
