Late at night on the fifth day of the New Year, the family took off from Baoshi and returned to Beijing.

Li Dabao submitted his resignation letter to the director the next day, and on the tenth day of the lunar month, he took his family and went to the capital to join Cao An.

Cao An assigned him a small two-story dormitory that had just been built in the factory. There was a room on the first floor with a living room, kitchen and toilet, and two rooms on the second floor. There was also a small yard outside and an area in the backyard for growing vegetables.

Li Dabao led his family to look at the newly built house, and was so grateful that he didn't know what to say.

Cao An patted his shoulder and said, "The factory has built ten of these stand-alone buildings, all for capable people. You're my brother, and I'm more optimistic about your abilities, so the garage and house are ready for you. Just take care of your family and help me run around outside."

Li Dabao nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Brother Cao!" He will definitely work hard to repay Brother Cao's trust in him!

Cao An exchanged pleasantries with Li Dabao's parents and teased his three-year-old son for a while. "Uncle and aunt, you guys settle down first. If you need anything, just go to the small supermarket at the factory gate. I've already told them. No need to pay. I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you home for a simple meal."

"How can that be? You've already helped us so much. Dabao has money, so you have to pay for things!" Li Dabao's parents rubbed their hands awkwardly, unsure how to express their gratitude. Their family had been huddled in their small, crowded little corner of Baoshi for so long, and there had been plenty of bumps and bruises. Their daughter-in-law was either not good or inevitably complained about.

When they learned that their son was going to resign and give up such a good job to sell it to Cao An, they were afraid but also secretly looking forward to it.

Li Dabao analyzed the pros and cons for them and said he had made up his mind. They had no choice but to agree and followed him.

Looking at the grand factory and the stand-alone small building, it felt like a dream. My intuition was right!

Li Dabao's father used to work at the Public Security Bureau. When his son grew up and was in better health, he transferred his job to him. Living in that small dormitory was fine for the family of three. But after his son got married, the house couldn't accommodate him anymore. Especially after the child was born, he was noisy at night, making it hard to sleep, and conflicts arose.

Cao An didn't say much to them. The small supermarket was opened last year and was run by the families of some idle workers at home. Anyway, he had already informed the small supermarket, so they would not ask for money.

He glanced at Li Dabao's wife, who was holding the child and lowering her head, not daring to speak. "Sister-in-law, the child is old enough now, you can let him stay with uncle and aunt. If you want to work, the factory has some positions. It depends on whether you want to do it. Let Dabao tell me tomorrow and I will help you arrange it."

Li Dabao's wife is called He Juan. When she heard this, she looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes.

"Me? I... can I do it?" She was from the countryside, could read a few words, and was introduced to Li Dabao, a police officer. When she learned that Cao An would give her a commission of 500 yuan for each machine she sold, she was happy but also worried that no one would buy it!

You know, Li Dabao's salary as the team leader was only 50 yuan. Compared with 500 yuan, it was a huge amount!

Cao An nodded. "As long as you want to do it and study hard, of course you can! You can serve food in the cafeteria or organize shelves in the small supermarket. If you want to do anything else, just let me know."

She is still young, and it would be strange if there were no conflicts with her in-laws if she stayed with them every day. If she had something to do to divert her attention, the family would be harmonious.

After arranging everything here, he stood up and said, "Dabao, you clean up first. I'll get your information and help you with the reception."

"Thank you, Brother Cao!" Li Dabao walked him to the gate and thanked him solemnly, "Brother Cao, I don't know how to thank you!"

Cao An laughed. "Thank me? Isn't it thanking me if you work hard in the future?"

After that, she patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Come to my house for dinner tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, officially follow me to the north. I will take you with me for a while."

"Okay!" Li Dabao nodded seriously and watched him leave.

Cao An handed over Li Dabao's work relationship to his assistant, asked him to handle the household registration issue, and returned to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Qi Siling and Xiao Hai are going to Pengcheng tonight, so he has to hurry back.

Qi Siling had been idle at the old house these past few days, accompanying Xia Youyou on various outings, including ice skating, watching movies, and even going to the beach for two days.

Xia Youyou was tired from playing, so she went home and slept for a day and a night, waking up in the evening.

When Cao An came back, he saw her still hunched over on the sofa, listlessly.

He reached out and pinched her little face, "Are you having fun?"

Xia Youyou turned her head, avoiding his hand, and looked at him accusingly with a pout, "If you pinch my face again, it's going to get bigger!"

"Wouldn't it be better if he grew up a little? He would be so much cuter!" Cao An took his son from Na Ru's hands and pinched him again.

"Yes. Pinch your son more." Xia Youyou looked at Xiao Chenchen with gloating expression.

Just as Cao An was about to say something, he felt a heat on his arm. It was Xiao Chenchen who had urinated on him to welcome him.

His body stiffened, he threw his son onto Xia Youyou, and went into the house to change clothes.

Xia Youyou was caught off guard when she felt a fleshy ball in her arms. When she touched Xiao Chenchen's butt, she found her hand was wet.

“Cao An!!!” She could only growl in anger for fear of scaring Chenchen in her arms!

Na Ru was making milk powder, and when she heard the noise, she turned around to check.

"Sister-in-law, come quickly, Chenchen has wet his diaper!" Xia Youyou lifted Chenchen up stiffly to prevent the wet diaper from rubbing against her clothes.

Na Ru hurried over and carried her son to the operating table nearby. "Where's your brother?"

"Chenchen peed on his clothes, so he just threw me on him and ran away!" Xia Youyou complained, getting up and washing her hands in the basin beside her.

Na Ru shook her head and sighed, these brother and sister are really enemies!

After changing her son's diaper, Xia Youyou came over with the bottle to feed Chenchen. The two of them leaned against the operating table, watching little Chenchen eat with grunts and gasps.

Xia Youyou tapped his forehead and said, "Just like your dad, he eats as if someone is snatching his food from him. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Xia Youyou! You said bad things about me again! You ruined my reputation in front of my son!" Cao An changed his clothes and came out. He walked to Na Ru and hugged her waist from behind.

Xia Youyou rolled her eyes at him, "Do you really need me to ruin your reputation? Can't he see for himself when he grows up? He doesn't want others to say what he's like!"

Cao An was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her, but Na Ru was prepared and grabbed his hand.

"Wife!" The strong man felt aggrieved.

"Don't always bully Youyou!" Naru was helpless.

"Did I bully her? She was the one who said it first!" Cao An accused!

"If you don't throw your dirty son to her, will she choke you?"

Cao An: ...

What should he do if his wife doesn’t support him anymore?

Xia Youyou smiled slyly, playing with Chenchen's little hands, "Look, your mother is still the best. She knows how to love your aunt. You have to love your aunt in the future, too, okay? Your aunt will buy you lots of delicious food, and she'll also provide you with enough milk powder, okay?"

Xiao Chenchen hummed "hmm~" as if responding to her.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The little guy is the one whoever feeds him, and his father is not his relative!
