As they were talking, the three Ping'an brothers came running over. After loading their luggage, the three brothers jumped into the car. Ping'an was the first to get into the driver's seat and start the car.

This action was done in one go, and it was so smooth that one could tell from the tacit understanding between the three brothers.

After receiving instructions from Zhang's father, Shitou did not mention the issue of greenhouse vegetables again. Instead, Zhang's mother mentioned that Xiaojiang had recently written to Shitou, wanting to go out and explore the world.

As for the Zhang family's cousins ​​who were separated by several generations, if Zhang's mother hadn't mentioned it, the three Ping'an brothers really wouldn't have paid much attention to them, after all, they were too far away.

Xiao Jiang's father, Zhang Qingfeng, his cousin, is a good man. He even left a pig for his family when they went back home for the New Year.

But his family didn't treat the other person unfairly. If I remember correctly, the other party was first entrusted by his second aunt, and later his parents also paid a high price on the market.

However, with Father and Mother Zhang around, Ping'an and his two brothers also took the feelings of the elderly into consideration. Just as his mother said, their grandparents are old, and every day they live is one day less, so they try their best to meet any requests that are not excessive.

Liuyi smiled when he heard that, glanced at Wuyi, lowered his head and wiped his hands gently with a handkerchief, secretly sighing how troublesome it would be when his brother who was in charge of diplomacy was not at home.

Ping An chuckled, then focused on the steering wheel, staring ahead. Should he take a shortcut or go around? Should he take his mother's reminder and go home?

Wuyi's eyes flickered. He took Zhang's mother's hand, patted it comfortingly, and said with a cheerful smile, "Grandma, Brother Shitou is right to be concerned. It's good that he's fine while he's away from home, but what if something goes wrong? After all, we're far away, and it's hard to guarantee his safety."

As he spoke, he looked at Father Zhang with a smile, "Grandpa, I actually don't agree with Xiao Jiang's idea. Why do you have to go so far away? If you have the ability and courage, you can expand the juice workshop back home."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Can't anything be contracted these days? People like Xiao Jiang Yinsuo can pool their resources, raise funds, buy machinery, and start a juice factory."

Zhang's father shook his head. "They can't do it. Not to mention the machines cost a lot of money, even if they make money in the future, I'm afraid they won't be united. The villagers won't agree either."

Wuyi smiled upon hearing this. "If you can't even handle this, then I don't think Xiao Jiang needs to venture out into the world. Back home, everyone will give in a little for your sake. But who will give him face outside? Even if he wants to come to Beijing, the people of Beijing are all talented. How can he compete with the locals?"

He paused and continued, "My parents can't interfere with any problems that happen at the bottom. There are many people outside who are eager for them to make mistakes so they can take their place.

Take my brothers' graduation assignments for example. To be honest, my family wanted them to stay in the General Staff, where it would be safe and respectable. But is that even possible? Even my grandfather, who was in charge of the Military Commission, didn't dare to make the decision on his own.

In the passenger seat, Liuyi glanced at Ping'an beside him, his lips curled up. The two brothers shared a similar smile, the meaning of which only they understood.

"For example, my dad is currently in the general logistics department. He's a very respectable position. After all, many people have to give him some respect. If he really asks, he can get anything done."

Wuyi glanced at Shitou and said, "But he doesn't dare, and he can't. If he makes even the slightest mistake, there will be a lot of people waiting to take his place."

My dad often says that he has less and less freedom, and it's true. Given his position, our family should have been allocated a small courtyard within the larger compound, but he doesn't dare take it.

When Zhang's mother heard this, she couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Wuyi was eager for someone to take over the conversation. If he denied his monologue, he wouldn't be able to continue singing and performing by himself, right? He smiled at Zhang's mother and said patiently, "My father must set an example."

"ah?"

"Grandma, someone asked for the yard, but he donated his family's private yard. Although my father doesn't have a yard in his name, my mother does.

Of course, if he wanted it, no one would dare say anything, but just in case, my dad couldn't have it. This is the lack of freedom in a high position.

And my mom's company always puts her on the list of candidates for housing, but she doesn't dare ask for it. If you don't want it, it's fine. But if you do, everyone will gang up on you, saying you're a high-ranking official with a yard under your name, yet you're trying to snatch it from everyone else.

Wuyi sighed and said, "For example, in my second semester of freshman year, I got a place to study abroad. I wanted to go abroad at that time, but why didn't I dare to ask for it?"

He didn't want them to answer, and continued to talk to himself, "Because if I accept it then, many people who don't know the inside story will inevitably suspect that it's because of my family background. So I simply don't want your grandson. We have to convince those people, right?

So the second time there was a spot available, I still didn't dare take it. But this time, my name was already on the list and no one objected, so I finally took it.

It's difficult. If I'm a little reckless and just leave, the gossip I leave behind could harm my family. Alas... the glory is only superficial."

Liuyi in front blinked and lowered his eyes. He was almost fooled by his own brother.

"Good boy, I've been wronged." Zhang's mother held her grandson's hand tightly. "Others don't know and think you live the way you want. Who would have thought... Alas..."

Wuyi forced a smile and said, "Grandma, I don't feel wronged. Look, your grandson has got what he wanted. But my mother..."

Zhang's mother was shocked when she heard this and asked quickly, "What happened to your mother?"

Wuyi touched the back of his head, looked at her hesitantly, then looked at Zhang Dad. He wondered if he should set an ambush first.

You know, his grandfather would inevitably meet some old men who came to visit him during his trip. Some of those old men, such as Mr. Mo and Mr. Yi, knew everything about his mother's overseas investments.

This is not a good idea. If it is mentioned, will the two elders become alienated from their mother-in-law because they think that their mother, as a daughter-in-law, actually hid such a big thing from her parents-in-law?

"My mom, she, it's even harder for her." Wuyi suppressed his smile, sighed softly, and said, "My dad is famous for his righteousness, but what does righteousness mean? It means giving money. My dad has helped many of his comrades and friends.

In terms of salary, both he and my mother have made quite a bit, especially in the past two years, their positions have been promoted and their salaries have also increased, but how can it be enough to make them work so hard?

My grandparents' money was planned to give each of us three brothers a yard in the future. Two years ago, my grandfather bought a large yard for my eldest brother.

Once we buy the yard, we'll have to hire more maids, and our family will be even tighter on money. We three brothers think this isn't a solution. We're all grown up, how can we still let our elders worry about us? "
