Even if a person is poor, he should still have high aspirations. Xiang Liwei has studied for many years and is not an ungrateful person who would forget a favor as soon as he turns around.
If his parents don't express their opinions, he will keep it in mind silently, and when the time comes, he will definitely give a gift to his second uncle. He will never forget his roots.
His mother has already prepared him so much, it would be inappropriate for him not to speak.
Hearing what his sister-in-law and nephew said, Xiang Hongqi silently took a sip of water and said, "It's not a big deal. Just live your life well."
Although he seemed to be refusing, he actually cared about his nephew Xiang Liwei.
After get off work, I usually go to Gangtie Primary School to see if my nephew has gone to work and has a headache or fever, and get along with him like an ordinary relative.
As the children grew up, got married and left home, Xiang Hongqi naturally felt that the home was not as lively as before.
It just so happened that he had a nephew who could do him a small favor, and he seemed very sincere, so he decided to help if he could.
After paying the money and food coupons to Tiezhu, he had little money left in his pocket. He felt complicated and indescribable, but the moment he turned around, he quickly put aside his anxiety and put on a smile.
He returned to the table where his family was sitting, sat on the long bench and chatted with Xiang Hongqi.
While chatting, I can also inquire about the general situation of the county, so that my son will not be completely in the dark about the county.
Sometimes, they would talk about Xiang Hongqi's family situation.
Xiang Hongqi told them everything he knew, such as where to buy things, where the flea market was, what the Steel Primary School was like, etc.
Xiang Hongqi didn't say much about family matters. When asked, he would change the subject or remain silent.
The last time Xiao Zhuge and the company commander came to his house to snatch Xiang Mianmian, he had already emphasized that his youngest daughter belonged to a confidential unit and could not be disclosed at will.
The family has reached a consensus and will not say more about what they know.
Although Xiang Hongqi was very confident in his younger brother and knew that he would not be an enemy spy, it was better not to tell him.
The four of them chatted happily while being treated to two dishes and a soup, and with Xiang Tiezhu and Yuan Huimei's occasional flattery and praise, the relationship between the brothers quickly became closer.
The scene of his parents smiling was too heartbreaking, so Xiang Liwei could only lower his head and eat his meal in silence.
This rice is delicious, but a bit salty.
When they finished eating and left, Xiang Hongqi patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "Liwei, do your best. If you have any difficulties, come and discuss it with your uncle."
He didn't dare to promise to help solve the problem, but he could give some advice and suggestions to the inexperienced teenagers.
Xiang Liwei, with red eyes, looked at his uncle, and a surge of ambition surged in his heart: "Okay, thank you for worrying about me, uncle. I will do my best."
Since Xiang Hongqi was able to gain a foothold in the county with his family, he can definitely do it too!
You have to know that Xiang Hongqi has six children, and he has to raise and send all of them to school. It goes without saying how difficult it is.
Xiang Liwei thought that he was alone and had a job, so why couldn't he support himself?
Of course, he didn't mean that making money would feed his whole family. He still had to take care of his family. He was just determined to get a firm foothold.
The last time my cousin Xiang Yaoyao came to the county town, her affair with a student's parent had spread throughout the city, and she lost her job.
Xiang Liwei felt that the work must be too difficult. He attached great importance to the job of primary school teacher and was afraid of being laid off like his cousin.
...He might be overthinking it. It's not that the job is difficult, but that this job is just a stepping stone.
Xiang Hongqi sent the family to the guesthouse, gave his brother a warm hug, and then walked back slowly.
Although Xiang Tiezhu was surprised by his brother's abnormal closeness, he was flattered and accepted the hug.
When Xiang Hongqi returned home, Zhang Jidi, as expected, looked indifferent. He glanced at him and said, "You're back? The meal is in the pot. Eat and go to work."
Although Xiang Hongqi could have a work lunch before going to work at two o'clock in the morning, it was only seven or eight o'clock, and she was worried that he would be hungry.
After being married for twenty or thirty years, Xiang Hongqi knew that she was angry, so he could only coax her awkwardly: "Don't be angry, dear. He... I think he's a very good child."
At least in terms of etiquette, it was done very well.
Compared to Xiang Yaoyao, there is a world of difference. At least Xiang Liwei's family knows how to reciprocate.
Zhang Jidi hummed calmly, "How can I care about you? You don't take care of the family, it's all me who worries. You care a lot about your nephew."
There were so many big and small things happening at home, and she was the only one who took care of them all.
Xiang Hongqi always worked the night shift and often got home at noon. He would catch up on his sleep and sleep until night, completely missing out on dealing with things during the day.
Originally, Zhang Jidi had no complaints. He handled the tedious matters himself, while his father worked hard to earn 80 yuan to support the family. The division of labor was clear.
But seeing how concerned he is about Xiang Liwei's affairs today, what should one think?
Anyone in Zhang Jidi's position would feel uncomfortable, and it would be enough to just complain a few words.
Xiang Hongqi saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly moved closer to his wife and said humbly, "Oh, my dear wife, your hands must be tired from sprinkling water while working. Come, let me massage you."
