Chapter 711
"It's good to be busy when you're young. When we were his age, weren't we busy with our careers and didn't have time for family all day? Xiaojun can do something he likes and shine in his field. As parents, we should be happy for him."
"Hey! I can't argue with you! When people get old, they like the feeling of having their children and grandchildren around them. I know it's not easy for Xiaojun to work outside, but isn't it too little to see his family only twice a year?"
"Why worry about these things? Xiaojun is still young and should focus on his career. When he is older, he won't think about running around outside all day."
"I hope so. I actually hope he can be with us every day like Mu Bai."
"Uncle, if you miss your child, you can come to the villa to talk to me and Dad. I understand your feelings, but the child also has his own career, right? We have to take good care of ourselves first so that they can work outside with peace of mind. When I heard you talk about your child just now, I feel very proud of him."
"Your child must be as proud of you as you are. If you as a parent hadn't supported his choice, he wouldn't have done the job he loves. Although you can't see each other, the connection between you will not change because of time. Don't worry, uncle."
"Okay, I feel much better after listening to Mu Bai's words. You and Xiaojun are of the same age. From your perspective, Xiaojun also thinks the same way. I can be happy to know what my son is thinking."
"Hahaha, only a little girl can convince you. Unlike us grown men who always complain that our children are too busy with work and neglect the family, now think about it, weren't we like that when we were young? When you reach a certain age, you will slowly understand. Give your children some time. It's rare to be able to do what you like."
"You can support Xiaojun in doing this work. He must be very grateful for your understanding as a father."
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that I was just complaining to you guys but you all came to comfort me in the end. Well, I won't say anything more. Xiaojun has his own career outside and I don't have much to say. His mother and I are at home, so we don't have to worry about his affairs all the time. This is what they call out of sight, out of mind."
"What Mu Bai said just now is right. We are too old to fight anymore. It would be nice if we could get together with you guys and chat more often. We are almost retiring anyway. We are all from the same family and we are all from the Jiang family. It is not good to give up this relationship. Let's get together and chat more often in the future."
"An's villa is located in the middle of the city, so it's about the same distance from everyone else's house. We'll just go to his house from now on. It's not bad to have a child as obedient as Mu Bai to accompany us. Just don't mind us coming to your house so often to disturb you and your daughter."
"How could that be? It's obviously a great bargain for me to be able to get along with awesome people like you. I can learn a lot from chatting with you. I wish you could come to the villa and play with me every day."
"Can you have fun with old men like us, Mu Bai? Won't you find our conversations boring and uninteresting?"
"No, on the contrary, I really like being with great people like you. You are leaders in various industries. I can learn a lot from chatting with you. These things are something that others can't even ask for. I don't know how happy I am to have this opportunity to interact with you and learn from you."
"Yes, Mu Bai is a very studious child. I even specially invited a teacher to the old house to teach her knowledge. Now she has learned all the teacher's special skills. You are so talented, and I also hope that she can get more contact with you and be edified."
"I heard about you finding a teacher to teach Mu Bai at the old house. It's really great that Mu Bai persisted. This alone is much better than others. Don't be so reserved with us. Mu Bai can just tell us if he is interested in anything. We are all family and they are our own children. There is nothing wrong with teaching them. Anyway, this is for the good of our Jiang family, isn't it?"
"That's right! I like children who love to learn. All the children in my class are like this. I feel very happy just by seeing them. They are so eager to learn that I wish I could teach them all my knowledge."
"That's right, who wouldn't like a smart and studious child?"
When everyone was chatting with Jiang Mubai, Jiang Zhen was also helped down from the stairs by Gu Chen.
"Why are you all here so early? Let me see... Everyone is here in a short while. Aren't you guys moving too fast? Are you all up so early and not going to sleep?"
Seeing Jiang Zhen coming down, Jiang Mubai turned around and greeted him.
"Okay, I knew Mu Bai was coming so I specially asked someone to come to the villa to decorate it. Look, the flowers on the table were just put there by someone today."
"The flowers are very beautiful, and the person who made them has great skills and a good aesthetic sense. No wonder Grandpa Jiang specially asked him to arrange the flowers."
"That's good. Everyone, sit down and chat instead of standing. I called you here today for nothing. I just wanted to chat with you and liven up the house. When people get old, they like to see lively scenes. In the villa, besides the caregivers, only Xiaochen and I live here. Xiaochen takes care of the company's affairs and only comes back to stay with me for two or three nights a week. I can't stand being alone, so I asked you to come back for dinner together, right?"
"I told you to move in with me, so I can see you and talk to you every day when I get home from work."
"I know what you mean, but I'm used to living here. Besides, when you're at work, I'm the only one waiting for you at home. I'm not used to living in a large flat, so I prefer a small villa like this. We're far from the company, so it's good enough if you can come back from time to time to see me."
"This place is far from me, and it's far from anywhere. If you have a headache or a fever, you have to drive for a long time to get to the hospital. The family doctor doesn't have enough equipment to check you thoroughly. You should find some time to move there. If you don't like the big flat, I'll take care of it for you, and the same goes for the small villa. This way, I think it will be more convenient for you, and I won't have to worry about you being alone here."
Seeing that Gu Chen was really thinking about Jiang Zhen, everyone started to persuade him: "Uncle Jiang, what Xiao Chen said makes sense. When you move over, you will be closer to us. If you are bored, just come and chat with us. Just visiting one of us every day is enough for you to chat for half a month. Xiao Chen is also thinking about it."
Seeing that everyone was persuading him, Jiang Zhen thought about it and slowly began to waver.
"Okay, I will consider what you said carefully. When I have made up my mind, I will move in with Xiaochen as soon as possible."
"That's just how you are. You don't listen when I advise you, and you have to wait for these uncles and aunts to come together before you give in."
"Look, Xiaochen is already dissatisfied with you. Uncle Jiang came to the right place to have dinner with us today. Xiaochen, the uncles have helped you so much, so you have to accompany us for a drink later, right?"
"Of course, uncles, you guys are here to help me solve a big problem. Let alone one cup, I would be willing to drink several cups."
The time passed quickly when everyone was sitting together and chatting. Gu Chen had always wanted to find a chance to talk to Jiang Mubai, but he never encountered a suitable opportunity. Gu Chen didn't force him to do so. Seeing that Jiang Mubai was doing well now, he felt relieved.
