"Shi Tou? Is he engaged to the Zuo family's child?"

Zhang Guoqing laughed and shook his head. "It's not engagement, it's already done. We just got our marriage certificate before the exam. I guess we're waiting for the acceptance letter to come in before getting married."

"Zuo Lin has good vision and picked up a great bargain."

Liuyi curled his lips and said, "It seems that Grandpa Zuo will be transferred back to Beijing soon."

Miao Lishan's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Oh, then it's perfect for Little Shitou to apply to a university here."

"Grandma?"

When Wu Yiyi called her, Miao Lishan looked at him questioningly, "What's wrong?"

What happened? Oh, Wuyi had a headache. How should he explain what Liuyi said? "Grandpa Zuo moved, and my dad has a lot of troubles."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his son warningly.

Wuyi laughed and said, "Dad, it was a slip of the tongue."

"It's okay, tell grandma."

"dad?"

Miao Lishan waved her hand and said, "Don't call your dad anymore. Even your dad has to listen to me. Speak quickly!"

What else could Zhang Guoqing do now that his mother-in-law had said so? He nodded slightly in agreement.

"Hehe..." Wuyi rolled his eyes, "That depends on what my dad thinks."

As soon as his mother-in-law looked at him, Zhang Guoqing knew that this brat had dug a hole for him again!

"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. If the Zuo family can transfer Zuo Lin back, they will naturally arrange a job for him. He and I are not in the same system, so I have nothing to do with him."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Guoqing looked at his mother-in-law with resentment. "Can you please not drag that 'ma' for too long?" "I guess Zuo Lin will want to bring the second son back to work with him."

Miao Lishan's eyes widened immediately. "Is this possible?"

Wuyi immediately replied, "Sure, absolutely! They are not all high-ranking officials. Just transfer a few small-time officials within the same system. The Zuo family can handle it."

Miao Lishan paused thoughtfully, "I understand that. If the Zuo family single-handedly took care of your second uncle's affairs, it would mean that your father owed them a favor, right?"

Wuyi raised his thumbs up, "High!"

"It doesn't matter! You owe it, your dad won't suffer any loss. As long as it's not a violation of principle, I'll help you. I think your second uncle is a good person. It's good for his family to live in the capital in the future. You three brothers will have another place to go, and your grandparents won't be unable to stay when they come."

Zhou Xiaozheng, standing by, pondered for a moment, "Your mother has a good idea. I heard from your uncle Dashan that the second son has done a good job over the past ten years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the section chief."

"First, see what he means. If you want to go to Beijing, you don't need to rely on the Zuo family's connections. The second brother doesn't seem to have a high degree, right? He should go to the party school for further studies."

Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao and saw her nod slightly. He frowned in thought. After a while, he finally shook his head.

"Let's take another look."

"Well, as long as you know what's going on."

Seeing this, Liuyi asked softly, "Dad, can I know your plan?"

Zhang Guoqing looked at his son with a smile, "What plans are there? I'm just worried that we're moving too fast and your uncle won't be able to keep up. If it were me, I would choose to move forward step by step, keeping my feet on the ground.

No matter what, I won't bypass the provincial capital. Taking shortcuts won't bring immediate results, but the future prospects are limited. Let's talk about it later. There's no rush."

Zhou Xiaozheng listened to his son-in-law and watched the children, guiding them slowly, "If your father had taken a shortcut, he would have been a completely different person now. Of course, there are two possible consequences: either he would have been in power earlier, or he would have been stuck in there eating lao zongzi now."

Many people called him foolish at the time, but the facts proved that he was absolutely right to stay down to earth. You should also remember that if you want more, you must stay true to your original intention.

Liuyi nodded seriously when he heard that.

He understood what his grandfather meant. His father had a group of friends who were either rich or powerful. These people had experienced many ups and downs, but in the end, the ones who were able to keep their footing were those who moved up step by step.

"Brother, do you understand? Come on, tell me what you think!"

Ping An slapped his brother in annoyance, "Stop teasing him. Have you forgotten what he has in his hand? He has started to change a lot of his prescriptions recently."

"Brother, how dare I. Little brother, how about you give me some?"

Liuyi bared his teeth at him, "Are you sure?"

Wuyi jumped up in shock and rushed towards Zhou Jiao, "Oh my god, your son is bullying me again. Your son has a miserable life..."

"Third Young Master! Why don't you ask your sisters to come over and take a good look at your double-faced face?"

Suddenly, bursts of laughter rang out in the living room.

Zhou Xiaozheng's mouth twitched. He glanced at his wife who was laughing heartily and his daughter who was bent over... He shook his head secretly, stood up and went back to the study.

——Mentally retarded children are so much happier!

That night, the last six-day holiday was no match for the five-day holiday, and in the end, my brother still managed to snatch away a few bottles of medicine powder. Of course, he wouldn't give me the prescription.

——Who asked me to take it back and improve it twice before May Day, and the effect was even better!

Liuyi said that he could exploit his cunning younger brother, but the reward was a little less, but... hehe... he was in a good mood!

In the fifth courtyard, the three Ping'an brothers once again checked the basement of the last courtyard. Looking at the "garbage" filled in it, the three brothers smiled.

"If it's okay, I'll turn it off."

"Start it!"

This closure is not just like closing a door.

When renovating the basement, Zhou Jiao took out the mechanical technology she had studied for many years and spent a lot of energy on the modification.

It can be said that she originally intended to use it to preserve the antiques and cultural relics in the space. If the three children had not expressed their concerns, she might not have agreed.

After cleaning up the traces, Wuyi frowned, "We have to find a time to get all the remaining stuff here. I plan to finish the acquisition before school starts. With all our acquisitions, firstly, the quantity won't increase, and secondly, it will easily leak over time. I can't do this job anymore."

"There's another thing. Wang Qingjin and Yi Xiaowei will definitely apply to military academies next year, and Gu Gongbo did well on the exam this time. He applied several times and chose universities in Beijing. So, it seems like in a year at most, the job of selling local specialties will be over."

Ping An had already considered these issues, so he nodded and said, "My uncle and the others need to be notified in advance. I can handle the troops here."

"No problem. Xiao Jingzi and the other two are going back to Beijing for the New Year. I'll see if my uncle can come over at the end of the year. We also need to check the accounts for the local specialties."

Liuyi smiled when he heard that. "It's up to you to decide. From now on, my brother and I won't be able to go out casually while we're in the military academy. You have to make the decision on everything."

"Haha, so now I can be the boss, right?"

Liuyi looked at him suspiciously, "Are you trying to cause trouble again?"

"We are twins indeed." Wuyi put his arms around his two brothers' shoulders with a playful smile, "But the timing is not right yet. I'll discuss it with you later."

Ping An and Liu Yi weren't worried about their brother doing something rash, so they just let him do what he wanted. After all, no matter how much trouble he took, it would only cost him some money.

What is money?

——It’s a bastard!
