In the 1960s, Capital Research Institute.

"Comrade Zhang Chengchuan, would you like to go to dinner together?" A young and beautiful female researcher asked Zhang Chengchuan with a smile.

This female researcher is about the same age as Zhang Chengchuan, and her height is more than 1.6 meters. Although she is a little thin, her face is still pretty.

This female researcher is called Xu Mengjuan. She is only two years older than Zhang Chengchuan. Being admitted to Capital University and entering the Capital Research Institute also shows that she is very smart, and her family treats her very well.

Xu Mengjuan's family is local to the capital. Although her family is not top-notch, it is also very good. Her parents are in the system, and her brothers and sisters also have good jobs.

Because of this, Xu Mengjuan's conditions are very good, and she is also very strong. She is very popular both when she was studying and now at the Capital Research Institute.

However, Xu Mengjuan fell in love with Zhang Chengchuan. Who made Zhang Chengchuan smart but young? Who made Zhang Chengchuan very capable even though he was born in the countryside? Who made Zhang Chengchuan still 1.88 meters tall even though he is a southerner?

Who made Zhang Chengchuan look so handsome?

The most important thing is to look at the face. Zhang Chengchuan's face is really good-looking. Xu Mengjuan just likes Zhang Chengchuan's appearance.

Moreover, Zhang Chengchuan's parents are far away in the rural areas of Gui Province in the south, and he himself stayed in the capital to work, so if he gets married in the future, he will not have to face his parents-in-law. Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Xu Mengjuan was of course very moved by such conditions.

It's a pity that Xu Mengjuan thought very well, but Zhang Chengchuan didn't like her.

The fact that Zhang Chengchuan can enter the Xiayue grocery store to trade with people more than fifty years later is only known by the senior management of the research institute, as well as the head of the first and second head, and their group of people only know, Xu Mengjuan and the others are ordinary researchers. knew.

Although Xu Mengjuan's attitude towards Zhang Chengchuan was much better, she still showed a hint of arrogance. Although she liked Zhang Chengchuan, she still looked down on him as a foreigner and as a rural person.

This kind of contempt is not intentional, but the natural arrogance of the capital locals who are natives of the capital and have a good family background. This is a subconscious behavior and attitude.

Xu Mengjuan didn't mean it, but Zhang Chengchuan was also uncomfortable.

He is not the kind of person who is inferior and arrogant. He never feels that he is a rural person, not a native of the capital. There is nothing to feel inferior, but he also does not want to be too involved with people who look down on his background. .

But Xu Mengjuan didn't clearly say that she liked him, but she just came over from time to time to ask Zhang Chengchuan to eat together, go out to play or something. After Zhang Chengchuan refused, she didn't bother, so he couldn't do anything to Xu Mengjuan.

"Comrade Zhang Chengchuan, I heard that the state-run restaurant outside the research institute has a new dish of chicken with bamboo shoots that is delicious. Let's try it together?" Xu Mengjuan said with a smile.

"No." Zhang Chengchuan refused, "I don't have the money to go to a state-run restaurant to eat."

Zhang Chengchuan has always been very calm about the fact that he has no money. Even if he would work part-time with the professors to make money when he was in college, even if his parents and eldest brother would often send him money, he didn't show it. Send something.

Although Zhang Chengchuan is poor, he is very calm. If he didn't care about spending money, then his relatives would have to provide for him sparingly.

Zhang Chengchuan didn't want this, so Xu Mengjuan asked him to go to a state-run restaurant for dinner, go to the movies and other activities, and he admitted that he had no money.

"I invite you." Xu Mengjuan blurted out, but after she finished speaking, she realized that this might hurt a man's self-esteem, so she smiled awkwardly and remedied, "I mean... I'll invite you this time, wait a minute. You can come back with your salary."

After Xu Mengjuan finished speaking, she still felt that she was so good, wouldn't they be able to contact them a few more times?

"No, I have to keep the money." Zhang Chengchuan said seriously to Xu Mengjuan, "I have to save, my parents still need me to support them, so I can't spend money without restraint."

"The money I spent in college over the years, and even the money I used to go to school, was subsidized by my parents and my elder brothers and sisters. Now that I can work and earn money by myself, of course I have to save money to repay them. Otherwise, I will not Have you become a white-eyed wolf sucking the blood of your parents, brothers and sisters?" Zhang Chengchuan said with a serious expression.

"Comrade Xu Mengjuan, I am very grateful for your attention to me, but I don't have that much time and money to hang out with you." Zhang Chengchuan said, "My main goal now is to work hard, and it is best to learn more knowledge. , I won't be held back if I get promoted in the future."

"And I'm still very young, just 21 years old, I don't plan to talk to someone so early." Zhang Chengchuan said very frankly.

Xu Mengjuan opened her mouth to hear what he said. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

Could it be that she wants to say that Zhang Chengchuan should not make money and save money to give back to his parents and brothers who support him to study? Should she say let Zhang Chengchuan be selfish and ignore other relatives and make him a white-eyed wolf?

Could it be that she wanted to tell Zhang Chengchuan not to continue to study more knowledge, not to work hard, and not to work so hard to get promoted later?

She couldn't say anything.

Although she was rejected by Zhang Chengchuan, Xu Mengjuan did not give up. As the saying goes, "women chase men's interlayer yarn", she believes that she can catch up with Zhang Chengchuan by virtue of her looks and abilities.

Zhang Chengchuan ignored Xu Mengjuan's thoughts. He really has no idea of ​​falling in love, or he has no capital to fall in love.

Xu Mengjuan's conditions are very good, and maybe some people think that after marrying her, it is really good to be rooted in the capital, and to have the help of the Yue family. But this is not what Zhang Chengchuan wanted. He studied hard and was admitted to the university in the capital. Is it because he wanted to be a son-in-law?

Maybe Xu Mengjuan didn't want him to be his son-in-law, but if he really married Xu Mengjuan, it would be almost the same. If you can't afford to buy a house, you can only live in the home of your wife, who is a native of the capital, after getting married.

Zhang Chengchuan didn't think it was bad for his son-in-law, but he didn't want to turn himself into a white-eyed wolf. His parents, brother, and sister all worked so hard for him to study and nurture him, but he ended up in someone else's house without any reward. Isn't this a white-eyed wolf?

Zhang Chengchuan studied diligently. The physics knowledge and mathematical materials in the 21st century that he had obtained from Chen Xiayue, and the materials in the 23rd century were also distributed to them, so he was actually very busy.

Just like what he said, falling in love is not in his plan. Before the age of 30, he still needs to study hard, and then work hard to increase his salary and pay back to his motherland and his parents and brothers for training him.

Zhang Chengchuan studied hard while doing business with Chen Xiayue, but he didn't take Xu Mengjuan's liking to herself at all.

The capital, the Xu family.

"You rarely come back from vacation, why are you in a bad mood?" Mother Xu asked in confusion when she saw her daughter's uninterested appearance.

Xu Mengjuan's sister-in-law couldn't help but ask when she looked at her sister-in-law, "Is it because the person you like bullied you?"

"I told you a long time ago that he is a wild boy from the countryside. Even now he is working in a research institute, but his salary is not high. You have to work hard with him."

"And this kind of rural boy who is provided by the whole family must send his salary home even if he is working. There are a lot of people in the family who need to be supported. If you are with him, it is difficult to get things from your parents' side. Money to subsidize his family?"

Xu Mengjuan's sister-in-law actually really disapproved of the sister-in-law's liking for a rural boy. Compared with Xu Mengjuan who subconsciously looked down on people from rural areas, Xu Mengjuan's sister-in-law looked down on her clearly and looked down on her attitude and words.

When she knew that the sister-in-law liked a rural boy, she disapproved very much. Don't say that the sister-in-law had a bad life and she was happy. If the little sister-in-law is not doing well, she will have to be subsidized by her mother's family. Can she watch her in-laws and husband subsidize the little sister-in-law? That's impossible.

Xu Mengjuan's sister-in-law is very proud that her sister-in-law turned out to be a top student who graduated from Capital University and entered the Capital Research Institute, but this also means that the sister-in-law is very popular in the marriage market. She hopes that the sister-in-law can find a match or even a better family than the Xu family. A better husband than a poor boy from the countryside.

"Mengjuan, listen to your sister-in-law's advice, don't think that love can last a lifetime, and external conditions are also very important. Does the rural boy you like often send money to his family? Do you want to? Will I accompany him in the future to send my salary and all my belongings there?"

"You grew up in a family like the Xu family, and you haven't suffered too much. If you married that poor boy and suffered hardships, would you be able to bear it?" Xu Mengjuan's sister-in-law advised.

Mother Xu listened to the eldest daughter-in-law's words, and looked at her daughter who was sad but a little resentful because of her daughter-in-law's words. She frowned and said, "Mengjuan, do you have someone you like? Or a poor boy in the countryside?"

"He is indeed from the countryside, but he is not a poor boy." Xu Mengjuan retorted, "He is now the most promising young researcher in our institute. Where is the poor boy?"

"How much is the salary of a researcher?" Mother Xu retorted without thinking.

"There are many children in rural families. Does the kid you like also have many brothers and sisters at home? His parents and brothers must need help from him. If you are really with him, you will definitely endure hardship. "

"Can you accept that you don't eat meat once a year? Can you accept that you only eat corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes all year round, and you can't even eat white rice? Can you accept that your parents-in-law bring their uncles and sister-in-law with you? Are you coming to live with you?"

"Mengjuan, you are still very young, don't take it for granted." Mother Xu said earnestly.
