C...
"What? Are you in a hurry to find a wife?" Ershuang joked back with a smile.
Cen Zixiang shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm not in a hurry at all. You're several years older than me and you're not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry?"
After all, he is a young man who has been influenced by the later generations. He has no idea of getting married and having children early. He would rather be single forever. He is so lucky now. He can feed the whole family by himself. He can find a wife and have children and have money everywhere.
It is even more impossible for him to be like he is now, with financial support from his family. If he really gets a wife, he will have to do everything by himself. It is impossible for his family to raise him and expect him to help raise his wife and children. He is not that shameless.
Besides, it’s not too late for a man to get married at the age of 30.
The second pair of eyes rolled back: "Why are you urging me to do something when you are not in a hurry yourself? I just think it is good to live alone."
Cen Zixiang smiled and put his arm on Ershuang's shoulders: "Brother, we heroes think alike."
Two pairs of eyes lit up: "Right, right? I was saying how good it is to live alone. No one will complain whether your life is good or bad. If you really find a wife, wouldn't that be like finding a housekeeper?"
"That's right. If we have a wife and children, we can feed the whole family. If we have a wife and children, we can watch them suffer. Wouldn't we work like a donkey from morning till night?"
Ershuang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, we think the same thing."
Everyone who heard the two talking curled their lips. They were talking quite lively. They didn't believe there was really a young man who wasn't in a hurry to find a wife. Does that mean he wasn't looking for one? Does that mean he couldn't find one?
It’s a waste of that tall young man’s looks. He doesn’t even want to raise a wife and children. No matter how good-looking he is, no girl would like him.
Chen Ye was almost fooling these two people to death. Wasn't it shameful? Saying this in front of so many people, did they really not want to find a wife in the future? If the girl knew about these two people's ideas, who would marry their daughter to them?
Not noticing that kid Gao Fei, he almost hid outside the gate. He seemed to be ashamed to stand with these two people. Chen Ye also subconsciously moved away from them, pretending that he was not familiar with them.
Nowadays, there is no such thing as a banquet at a wedding, but it is still possible for the family to get together for a meal. Dashuang is a generous man. He was afraid of tiring his wife, so he took the relatives and friends from both sides to a state-owned restaurant and set up two tables.
After dinner, everyone went back to their own homes, and there was no talk of making trouble in the bridal chamber.
After everyone returned to the guesthouse, Cen Zixiang and Gao Fei asked Ye Zi to go out for a while, tied up Chen Ye's clothes with blinking eyes, and acted as if they must take me with them.
Chen Ye felt somewhat helpless. Why did Shuanzhu become more and more clingy as he grew older? "Where are you going? Can you take Shuanzhu with you?"
Cen Zixiang rubbed the tied-up shorthair vigorously: "Okay, come with me, but tie your sister up and hold her tightly. If she gets lost, you won't be able to find her again."
Shuanzhu nodded vigorously: "I'm obedient. I'm especially obedient when I go out."
"Okay, let's go together." Cen Zixiang took the lead and walked outside. When he reached the street, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, then continued.
"I've found a job. I'll introduce you to some people first. There are two positions available. One is an office accountant, but you'll need a three-month internship before you can become a full-time employee."
This is only because of Uncle San's face, otherwise the internship period would not be so short. I have to work for at least a year before I can talk about becoming a regular employee.
"Another position is a warehouse keeper in the Materials Department. This job is easy and you don't have to interact with too many people. You just need to sort out the warehouse's income and expenditure accounts, but the salary is lower than that of an accountant."
"The advantage is that you'll be a full-time employee once you get in. Uncle San will let you decide which of these two jobs you like. If you don't like either, just wait and see if there's a job that's more suitable for you."
Chen Ye frowned. In fact, she was not keen on working in the city. She preferred the simple and free life in the village. However, several elderly people did not want her to go back to the village to farm, as if asking her to farm would mean suffering.
Although the work in the fields was tiring, she didn't really feel it was too heavy. However, she would not refuse the sympathy of the elderly people for her, so she did not object to everyone finding a job for her.
She thought that if they couldn't find a job for a long time, everyone would gradually lose interest in it. But this was not the case with the addition of a capable and cheap father. Finding a job was extremely difficult for them, but for the cheap father, it seemed like a matter of talking.
But she is so far away from home and is reluctant to leave everything in the village. But if she refuses, wouldn’t it be too ungrateful?
Cen Zixiang patted Chen Ye's shoulder. His little sister was just like him. She would stare blankly from time to time regardless of the occasion. It was obvious that they were siblings.
"What's wrong? You don't like any of them? It's okay, then we'll look for one. But you have to tell Fourth Brother first what kind of job you want. That way we can have a clear goal in mind when looking for one, right?"
Chen Ye shook his head: "No, it's good enough to have a job. Why should I be picky? But this won't affect him, right?"
Although she had no feelings for her cheap father who suddenly appeared, she didn't want to affect him because of her own affairs. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone. She could support herself well.
Cen Zixiang was very pleased that his younger sister still cared about his third uncle. Ever since Ye Zi confirmed that she was his uncle's biological daughter, she had never called his third uncle "Dad". He could see that his third uncle was still very disappointed.
However, they all thought about it from Ye Zi's perspective. Even if they were in his place, they would not recognize him as their father so quickly. There must be a process.
Ye Zi is a little girl who looks indifferent but is actually very soft-hearted. As long as you treat her well sincerely, she will slowly accept Uncle San.
"No, they are all obtained through legitimate channels." Although this so-called legitimate channel means a job bought with money, no one would seize this point to attack Uncle San.
Whose family hasn't paid for a job? Every family in the compound has had this experience. If we find fault with Uncle San because of this, everyone will suffer the consequences.
Chen Ye was very skeptical about this legitimate way. In fact, it was not that legitimate, but as long as it did not affect her cheap father's job, it would be fine.
Thinking of her stepfather, who had to go back to work and looked back every few steps, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, she really couldn't describe what she felt.
Maybe it was a slight sense of helplessness and a slight sense of misunderstanding. Could someone really fall in love with you shortly after meeting you after finding out you have a child for the first time?
