"Mom, let's go!"

After Xia Ruizhe followed Xia Yuntao and Wang Shuyi into the house, Xia Jingtong and Xia Zicheng simultaneously grabbed Ning Yadao.

Ning Ya frowned. "Leave? How? Do you have the money to buy a plane ticket? Or do you have the money to buy a plane ticket?"

After asking Xia Jingtong, Ning Ya then asked Xia Zicheng.

Despair immediately filled the faces of Xia Jingtong and her brother Xia Zicheng.

"Alright, you two, stop acting like this. Trust your dad. Now that you're back, just stay here obediently."

She didn't say that she also felt the two old men definitely had a backup plan.

When Ning Ya led her two children into the house and said they weren't leaving, Xia Yuntao and Wang Shuyi weren't surprised.

Xia Yuntao continued, "Now, if we want to improve our lives, we have to work hard to earn money."

Now that domestic policies have changed, making money isn't too difficult. In Haicheng, many families still use gas cylinders. Some of the houses allocated by their work units are on the fifth or sixth floor, and it's not easy to carry the gas cylinders upstairs, so they'll pay a few cents to hire someone to do it.

Aze, you can take Xiaocheng with you to try and get this job.

I remember Xiaoya knows how to use a sewing machine. Right now, our country's textile and garment industries are developing rapidly, and many garment factories around Haicheng are actively recruiting. Xiaoya and Tongtong could apply for jobs; if they get hired, they could earn one or two hundred yuan a month, or even two or three hundred yuan.

Xia Zicheng and Xia Jingtong's faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

They, overseas Chinese who returned from overseas, have actually been reduced to carrying gas cylinders for the lower classes.

Xia Ruizhe and Ning Ya also looked very unhappy.

Xia Ruizhe's facial muscles twitched. "Dad, can't we find any decent jobs? Over the years, many of your old friends and family acquaintances have returned to China. Could you ask them to find some easier jobs for me and Xiaocheng in their companies?"

"Sigh!" Xia Yuntao sighed heavily. "Ah Ze, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. When our family moved abroad, our foundation was already damaged."

After Dad's investment failed this time, it's not that he didn't try to contact them, it's just that..."

Xia Yuntao didn't say what he was going to say next, he just gave a bitter smile.

He waved his hand, "Dad doesn't have the ability to find you any decent jobs, but at least you still have the status of returned overseas Chinese."

Currently, China has just opened up, and the attitude towards overseas returnees is still very friendly. You can take Tongtong and Xiaocheng to try and see if you can find a decent job with this status.

"It would be great if we could find it, but if we can't, we'll figure something out!"

Xia Ruizhe lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Okay, Dad, then I'll take Tongtong and Xiaocheng to look for jobs first."

He then looked at Ning Ya, "Ning Ya, you..."

“I’ll go with you to look for work. If I can’t find any other jobs, I’ll go to a garment factory,” Ning Ya quickly said.

In the few days since they returned, even though they haven't specifically looked into the female workers in the garment factory, they've still encountered quite a few.

Looking at the female workers wearing drab work clothes and ugly hats, they looked disheveled and dirty.

The thought of becoming like them was worse than death to her.

Xia Yuntao didn't really care about this, but he had told them beforehand that the family only had enough food for five days.

If they still haven't found work after five days, they'll all go hungry.

Meanwhile, Huo Beixiao had already begun preparations for the construction of the high-end residential project invested in by Xia Yuntao.

However, problems arose even during the design phase of the project.

There is a shortage of design talent in China, and it is even more difficult to find someone who can design such a large project.

If you can't even draw up the design drawings, then naturally you can't start construction.

After careful consideration, Huo Beixiao discussed with Yang Qiaoqiao, "Wife, I plan to go to Hong Kong by myself."

"Go hire a designer?" Yang Qiaoqiao understood Huo Beixiao's idea.

Huo Beixiao nodded, "Yes, we must bring back two capable designers to oversee things so that our construction company can be competitive."

Yang Qiaoqiao was able to lead the Qin Group to the position of the richest person in her previous life because of real estate.

She naturally knew that with the development of the times, design institutes were essential for large real estate companies.

Her dark, bright eyes stared intently at Huo Beixiao. "Brother Xiao, I support you."

Huo Beixiao pulled her into his arms. "Wife, I want you to come with me."

Yang Qiaoqiao thought for a moment. At this time in her previous life, she hadn't even left Sichuan Province, let alone Hong Kong.

She's finally got the chance in her life, so she's going to Hong Kong with Huo Beixiao to see for herself the difference between the mainland and Hong Kong. It would be great if she could see it for herself.

Thinking this, she wrapped her arms around the man's neck. "Then I'll arrange some work for the next couple of days and go to Hong Kong with you."

Huo Beixiao's eyebrows and eyes instantly lit up with a smile, and he couldn't help but excitedly peck her lips.

After that first bite, he became addicted and quickly deepened the kiss.

The temperature in the office started to rise...

Over the next two days, Yang Qiaoqiao explained everything about the garment factory to Zhou Yang.

Huo Beixiao has already completed all the formalities for going to the port city and arranged the ferry tickets.

The couple were completely unfamiliar with Hong Kong, and they had long heard that although the economy there was much more developed than that of the mainland, there were various gang fights and the public security was not necessarily better than that of the mainland.

Therefore, the couple did not dare to bring their two children with them and could only entrust them to Su Pan for help in taking care of them.

Su Pan was naturally extremely happy to oblige.

But just like the last time they went back to Sichuan Province, the two little ones behaved well and didn't cause any trouble.

This time, Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao had just explained things to Su Pan and hadn't even turned to leave yet.

An'an, who rarely cries, suddenly burst into tears with a "waaaah!" as soon as her little mouth twitched.

She cried as she threw herself into Huo Beixiao's arms.

Huo Beixiao already felt sorry for his daughter, and her crying melted his heart.

He quickly took his daughter into his arms and gently patted and coaxed her, "An'an, be good. Daddy will only be away working for a few days and will be back soon."

"When Daddy comes back, he'll bring An'an lots and lots of gold, okay?"

Tears streamed down An'an's fair face. Her chubby little hands gripped Huo Beixiao's shirt tightly, and she shook her head dramatically, "Dad! No!"

The little guy actually uttered two words clearly.

Not to mention Huo Beixiao, even Su Pan and Yang Qiaoqiao were shocked.

Su Pan smiled so happily that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. "Oh my, our An'an is so amazing! She can call me 'Daddy' now, and she wants to keep him here. She doesn't want him to leave, does she?"

"An'an, come here, let Mommy give you a hug." Yang Qiaoqiao reached out her hand to An'an.

An'an, unusually cooperative, opened her little arms and rushed into her arms.

Those large, clear, bright eyes, like glass beads, looked at her and said in the same firm tone, "Mom, no, I won't go!"
