Meanwhile, after Huo Songyang and his family returned home, they sat on the sofa in silence.
"Father, Mother, don't be like this. You know this is the best choice. When I get there, with my elder brother and Ruan Ruan around, no one will dare to bully me. Besides, here I have several masters who will never let me get ahead. When I get to Yuncheng, I can do whatever I like. Isn't that great?" Huo Haoli comforted her, trying to ease her sadness at his departure.
"Alright, the kid's grown up. He'll leave home sooner or later. Ruan Ruan has given him such a good opportunity; we should be happy. Tomorrow, ask your girlfriends if anyone needs a job. Sell your job; that way, you can give Haoli some money for self-defense."
Huo Songyang, as the pillar of the family, was also open-minded. He felt that since his son had no chance to get ahead in their factory, he shouldn't waste his time there.
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow. I remember his nephew from Aunt Zhang's family was looking for a job. I'll ask him then." Xiao Xia knew this was her son's chance, but she just couldn't bear to see him so far away. How long would it be before she could see him again?
"Mother, don't worry, I'll write back often, and I'll come back to see you whenever I have time," Huo Haoli, a grown man, didn't know how to comfort his elderly mother. He looked worriedly at his brother beside him.
“That’s right, Mom. Didn’t you hear Grandpa say that Ruan Ruan also has shares in that pharmaceutical factory? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to send so many people there. When you’ve thought it through, just have him ask Ruan Ruan for leave. He wants to come back to see his second aunt. Do you think Ruan Ruan would refuse him leave?” Huo Haoming chimed in from the side, though it was clear that what he said wasn’t exactly a nice thing.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Your little sister worked so hard to build this factory and even arranged jobs for you. Instead of helping her, you're thinking of causing her trouble. Let me tell you, Huo Haoli, if you dare to ask Ruan Ruan for leave over something so trivial, if I find out, I'll break your legs."
Upon hearing Huo Haoming's words, Xiao Xia immediately worried that if Huo Haoming really acted that way after he arrived, she would truly feel guilty for letting Ruan Ruan down after taking care of their family. Huo Haoming's words instantly lifted her spirits. She stopped being sad and began planning what gifts to bring for her son.
Hearing his mother's words, Huo Haoming looked at Huo Haoli with a smug expression, showing his silly younger brother that this was how to deal with their sentimental mother.
Huo Haoli said he learned something.
The next day, Huo Haoli went directly to the factory to ask for a few days off. He didn't tell anyone that he was leaving. After he came out, he saw the person who had taken his spot. He just glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and walked past him out of the steel factory.
Meanwhile, when Grandpa Huo called Ruan Ruan, Huo Haocheng had already taken Ruan Ruan, Gu Jinghe, and Gu Jingming to visit the factory.
So Commander Gu answered the phone, and after telling him their decision, he hung up.
"Hey little brother, we're going to take care of serious business. Why are you coming along?" Gu Jinghe, sitting in the back, asked Gu Jingming, who had come with them, with a puzzled look.
"I came out with my sister, not with you." This morning, Gu Jingming was sent by Teacher Shen to deliver some vegetables to Ruan Ruan. Then he saw Huo Haocheng drive to pick up Ruan Ruan. He asked and found out that they were going out to play. He had been stuck at home with endless homework for a while, and now he finally had an excuse to go out and play. He immediately hugged Ruan Ruan and said that he wanted to go too.
Seeing that they didn't have anything to do today, Ruan Ruan took him along. When they came out, Huo Haocheng even drove to tell Teacher Shen before bringing him out.
"Have you finished your homework?" Gu Jinghe knew that his younger brother had been forced to do Chinese homework and memorize texts by their teacher, Ms. Shen, these past few days.
"Mind your own business! Mom already agreed to let me come out and have fun. If you keep saying such discouraging things, I'll... I'll..." Gu Jingming didn't know what to do with Gu Jinghe. He couldn't beat him in a fight, and he couldn't win an argument.
"What are you going to do? Hit me? Can you beat me? It's not that I'm looking down on you, but I could beat you down with just one hand and two feet." Seeing his younger brother getting impatient with his teasing, Gu Jinghe found it quite amusing.
"I'll tell Mom that you made my sister and sister-in-law cry." Gu Jingming glanced at Ruan Ruan, who was sitting in the passenger seat watching the show. He immediately thought of his mother, who was a doting father and often praised Ruan Ruan and Jiang Yuli in front of them. If she found out that his older brother had made both of them cry, she would definitely beat him up. He didn't believe that Teacher Shen couldn't handle him.
"Hey, you win." Gu Jinghe didn't expect his usually honest little brother to pull such a stunt, and unfortunately, he couldn't afford to offend any of these three women.
"Why is this involving me?" Ruan Ruan, who had been watching them bicker, didn't expect that she would have something to do with herself in the end.
"Hmph, let's see if you dare to bully me again!" At this moment, Gu Jingming was like a victorious rooster, raising his head high and looking at Gu Jinghe with a triumphant air.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." After being taught by Huo Haocheng for some time, Gu Jinghe has become skilled at apologizing. In short, it's just a perfunctory apology. Since they are all people he cares about, it doesn't hurt anything.
The four of them chatted and laughed for half an hour before arriving at the factory that Commander Gu had mentioned.
The gate was tightly shut, and weeds grew rampant in front of it. Huo Haocheng and Gu Jinghe each held a stick and kept tapping on the weeds. The two walked ahead, pulling out all the weeds they passed. Ruan Ruan took out the key, but because so much time had passed, the lock on the door had rusted. Huo Haocheng finally managed to open the door.
