Xiao Xiao ultimately stayed on at Zhejiang University to beco an intern teacher, and in her spare ti, she would part-ti coach piano using her various piano competition certificates.
She earned her own money and spent it on herself. Although she lived in a rented apartnt, she had high standards for her quality of life. She did not seek out luxurious material possessions but would prepare luxurious nutritious als for herself. After all, while other girls spent money on their appearances, she spent hers on food.
Because she was skilled at making delicious food, she also beca a popular food broadcaster on a video platform, earning a tidy sum each month from her broadcasts.
Thanks to Xiao Xiao’s hard work, she was able to make a down paynt and buy a small apartnt for herself after five years of work.
Though it was a small apartnt, she felt content because she bought it with her own earnings.
Her elder brother returned from abroad and joined a unit with a high level of secrecy, marrying a military doctor. Both of them worked in Beijing and lived in housing provided by their employer.
Her younger brother was promising, often appearing in major sporting events on sports channels, and even won championships at the World Championship and the Winter Gas. His future looked bright. Keep going!
The Cao Family’s three children each outdid the other in excellence, and consequently, the family saw an increase in people seeking to establish ties through marriage, but Mr. and Mrs. Cao politely declined them all.
The marriages of their children were left for them to decide; as parents, they only gave advice and didn’t get involved.
Mingxia had spent her life being industrious and earnest, striving with her hands to create the splendid life she had today. She almost engaged in charity every year, in her restaurant, if she encountered people in difficulty, she’d offer them a discount or outright waive the bill. She never forgot why she started this journey in the first place, nor forgot that money can never be earned exhaustively, but kindness might not last forever. It was truly rare for her to maintain such a kind and ungreedy heart.
Over the years, Xiao Xiao had not lacked suitors, mostly introduced by teachers, colleagues, or elders at school, and she t countless peculiar n.
Cao Xiaoyan kept a low profile at school, and no one knew she was an invisible "second-generation property owner"; all the more ludicrous were those matchmaking n who would show off before her.
Good upbringing and a broad range of experiences granted Xiao Xiao exceptional calmness and wisdom when she encountered n, never allowing herself to be swayed easily.
Even if she found a man attractive, she wouldn’t confess her feelings or get involved in ambiguous relationships right away. Instead, she coolly observed and tested him until he passed her scrutiny before being introduced to her parents.
She always rembered her mother’s advice that she should find a match who was her social equal and should not get involved with soone whose capabilities were too far apart, for such a marriage would be unhappy.
In this day and age, with so many unique characters in movies and TV shows, choosing a man was not just about finding a husband but also about finding a future. Hence, the attitudes of the future in-laws were extrely important.
If the mother-in-law wasn’t right or the father-in-law was an oddball, no matter how outstanding the man, he was not to be considered.
So, Xiao Xiao ticulously selected her suitors based on her mother’s earnest teachings.
Finally, at the age of 26, she brought ho a boyfriend with the occupation of a firefighter.
For military personnel, whether of any branch, her parents naturally had a type of immunity.
Especially since this warrior had saved their daughter in a rescue operation once; even though his family’s financial condition was just average, he was from a family of ordinary people—a kind and ambitious person. After Mr. Cao made several inquiries and assessnts, they exceptionally accepted this marriage with a slightly different family background.
It was probably because he was a firefighting warrior, and they felt that soldiers had a hard ti finding a wife; especially since her own father was also a military man, her brother worked in military research, and her sister-in-law was a military doctor, it was very hard to say no.
Luckily, their daughter was truly happy, and so the story ended with Xiao Xiao’s wedding, with joyous tears marking the perfect ending.
