Since ancient times, many families have a more serious preference for sons and daughters, because they want to rely on their sons for their future pensions. Some wealthy or intellectual families have enough economic power to think that this kind of thinking does not exist. They may even "starve" other people's homes because they don't have daughters. Qian Xuesen's parents were like this, so they adopted a dry daughter who was eight years younger than Qian Xuesen.
Qian Xuesen's father, Qian Junfu, studied in Japan in his early years and served as the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education after returning to China. Qian Junfu had a very good friend, named Jiang Baili, who was not bad at that time, and was the principal of the Baoding Army School of the Nationalist Government at that time. After the two got married and had a family, they often came and went, and they gathered and chatted together every New Year's Festival. Jiang Baili and his Japanese wife had 5 daughters, while the Qian family had only one son, Qian Xuesen. Qian Jun and his wife looked at their own son with only one son, and the daughters of the Jiang family were all lively and cute, so they had the idea of adopting a dry daughter.
Among the five daughters of the Jiang family, the third daughter, Jiang Ying, is particularly popular. She was bold and not afraid of people from childhood, and often sang songs to relieve the adults when she gathered, and when she came to the Qian family, she took a fancy to this third daughter Jiang Ying, and said to the Jiang family that she wanted to claim this Jiang Ying as the daughter of the Qian family. The Jiang family saw that the five daughters in the family were lively at that time, and it was okay to have one less, so they agreed to this request.
So when Jiang Ying was 3 years old, Jiang Ying passed on to the Qian family, and the two families also invited relatives and friends to hold several tables together. In the Qian family, there were no four sisters playing around, and Jiang Ying often followed Qian Xuesen,8 years older than himself, behind his ass. She likes to sing, so she sings and plays around this brother from time to time, and this brother is also attracted by Jiang Ying's singing voice and often sings along with her. At a banquet between the Jiang and Qian families, the two also sang "Yan Shuangfei" together in front of the parents of the two families.
At that time, where did the parents of the two families know about this song, which was heralding the future fate of the two. Later, the parents of the Jiang family felt that without Jiang Ying's family, they were more and more cold, and they gradually realized that Jiang Ying was the most well-behaved and sensible among these daughters, looking cute and singing well. The more the Jiang family thought about it, the more reluctant they became to this daughter, so they told the Qian family that they wanted to bring Jiang Ying back. Although the Qian family did not want Jiang Ying to leave in their hearts, they had to agree, and finally Qian Xuesen's mother did not forget to jokingly put forward a request: "You old third, when you grow up, you will still be my dry daughter, and when you marry someone in the future, you will marry into my family and be my daughter-in-law." ”
At that time, this joke was listened to by Qian Xuesen, who was also reluctant to go to his sister, and at that time, Qian Xuesen secretly swore that he would marry this sister as his daughter-in-law in the future. In 1935, when the 23-year-old Qian Xuesen was preparing to study in the United States, On the eve of going abroad, Jiang Ying also came to Qian's house with his parents. Qian Xuesen was very happy, Jiang Ying also played Mozart's Sonata in D major for him at that time, and Qian Xuesen listened to it like crazy, as if he wanted to remember every note and Jiang Ying's face in his mind.
In 1936, Jiang Baili was ordered to visit Europe and the United States to investigate the military, and Jiang Ying and his fifth sister Jiang He also went with their parents at that time, and Jiang Ying and Jiang He also took advantage of this to learn Western music in Berlin, Germany. In 1946, Jiang Ying, who had studied in Europe for 10 years, returned to his homeland. In the second year after returning to China, he held a solo concert in Shanghai, the performance was very successful, and received a lot of praise, at the same time, Jiang Ying was also pursued by more and more people of the opposite sex, but Jiang Ying did not look at one.
And heaven also seems to have arranged for the two of them to be together in the dark, and just the second year after Jiang Ying returned to China, Qian Xuesen also returned from his studies. It's just that Qian Xuesen was 36 years old at the time, and he had already reached the age of marriage, but there was no partner around. No one will mention the jokes of that year, and Jiang Ying has forgotten them, but Qian Xuesen's heart cannot be calm for a long time. Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Ying also pulled his sister together to help Qian Xuesen go on a blind date, but Qian Xuesen did not look at the blind date object, but just stared directly at Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying still felt strange at that time, and later Qian Xuesen often ran to the Jiang family as a guest, but Qian Xuesen of Mu Ne never dared to open his mouth to show his heart to Jiang Ying. Until Qian Xuesen received the news of going to the United States for further study, Qian Xuesen knew that he could not delay any longer, so he said to Jiang Ying, You and I will go to the United States. Jiang Ying was confused, and then Qian Xuesen expressed his love to Jiang Ying, and Jiang Ying was a little panicked in the face of the sudden confession, and she said to Qian Xuesen, Let's understand each other again, let's communicate first.
Qian Xuesen remembered how lonely his previous life without Jiang Ying was, how deeply he missed Jiang Ying, and where he was willing to let Jiang Ying leave him again. So he stubbornly repeated the sentence: "No, you have to follow me now." Jiang Ying had a cult of Qian Xuesen at that time, after all, Qian Xuesen became a professor at a well-known university in the United States at the age of 36, and Jiang Ying had a good feeling for learned people. So I was touched by Qian Xuesen's seemingly domineering but affectionate words, and without saying a few words, I relaxed and agreed to be with Qian Xuesen.
In 1947, the two married in Shanghai, and later Jiang Ying followed Qian Xuesen to the United States, accompanying him through the years of difficult scientific research. The love story of the two is still talked about to this day. Xiaobian read the story of the two people, and had to sigh how important it is to be a door to door, only two equally excellent people come together to be happy.
