Chapter 104: Second sister, can you help me find a job?
Zhong Zhiyang seemed to be used to being hit, and he was not angry. He repeated in a low voice: "I am serious this time. I want to do something and make everyone look at me with new eyes."
"That's a good idea." Lin Ziqiu walked in from outside the yard holding a pile of clothes.
She didn't know about Zhong Zhiyang's past, but people always make mistakes and take the wrong path in life.
Zhong Zhiyang touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, "Second sister, can you help me find a job?"
Zhong Xuexi stared at him with an expression that said, "Are you okay?" and said firmly, "So you were dumped because you couldn't make money, right?"
The corners of Zhong Zhiyang's mouth twitched slightly, he also wanted to make money!
But only when he truly integrated into this real society did he realize how difficult it is to make money.
Lin Ziqiu took the clothes upstairs, and when she came down, the brother and sister were still talking about work.
"If you really want to find a job, then take care of all the housework at home and see if you can do it."
Lin Ziqiu had an idea in his mind.
Zhong Zhiyang heard this and asked, "Is this true? Can you make money by doing housework?"
"Don't think that housework is too little, including but not limited to cleaning the house and the kitchen, as well as washing clothes, cooking, and chopping wood."
Zhong Zhiyang was a little worried, "I can do everything else, but cooking... I'm afraid I can't do it."
Lin Ziqiu said, "There is a first time for everything. You finish your work at home every morning, and then come to the state-owned restaurant to find me. I will teach you some simple things."
"State-owned restaurant? You...you work as a cook in a state-owned restaurant?"
Zhong Zhiyang used to go out and cook for himself from time to time. The food in the state-owned restaurant was so delicious, much better than what his grandmother cooked.
Zhong Xuexi couldn't help but interrupt, "Your sister-in-law is amazing. Not only does she work in a state-owned restaurant, but she was also invited to cook for the celebration banquet for the art troupe's performance!"
"Ah!" Zhong Zhiyang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Before this, he was so ignorant and mocked the other person for marrying into the family to be a parasite, but now it turns out that the other person is so awesome.
This slap in the face was really painful.
Lin Ziqiu was calm as always, "I don't want you to be a great cook, I just want you to be able to cook some home-cooked dishes."
Zhong Zhiyang patted his chest and said, "No problem! I will definitely study hard!"
Seeing how motivated he was and that Lin Ziqiu was willing to guide him, Zhong Xuexi couldn't help but smack her lips. This was considered progress. Being able to see this disappointing younger brother willing to make progress during his lifetime, the second uncle could rest in peace.
Early the next morning.
When Lin Ziqiu got up, Zhong Zhiyang had already started busying himself in the kitchen.
Although he couldn't cook, he steamed some sweet potatoes and corns, which were perfect for his second sister's fat-reducing breakfast.
Lin Ziqiu was somewhat pleased that he could take such a positive attitude. Then she tied an apron and began to teach him some simple things, such as the techniques of cutting vegetables. "Bend your index finger, place it on the back of the knife, and move it back a little bit. This way you won't cut your hand."
Lin Ziqiu took a potato and said, "You try it."
Zhong Zhiyang wiped his hands nervously, took a deep breath, and swallowed nervously when he picked up the knife. He was still a little afraid of cutting his hand, so he held his breath just in case.
"Relax and take your time."
Lin Ziqiu saw that although the slices he made were very thick, they were normal.
Under her careful guidance, Zhong Zhiyang finally became quite capable.
Lin Ziqiu made some potato pancakes and ate them with the leftover meatball soup from last night. She was very full.
"You should work at home in the morning. I will check it when you come back. If you fail, you won't get paid."
Zhong Zhiyang stood up straight and saluted her, "I promise to complete the task!"
Not long after Lin Ziqiu left home, Zhao Huaian's car bell rang outside the gate.
Zhong Zhiyang ran out curiously to see, "Brother An!"
Zhao Huaian rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen the wrong person, "Zhiyang! Are you back?"
Zhong Zhiyang nodded shyly, "I just came back yesterday. Brother An, come in and sit for a while. Have you had breakfast? Let's eat together?"
Zhao Huaian parked the car outside and didn't push it in. He rubbed his hands and followed him into the house. "Is your second sister still not awake?"
Zhong Zhiyang signaled with his eyes, "I didn't hear any movement in her room this morning, so she's probably still sleeping!"
"If she sleeps any longer, she'll be late! I'll go call her, you go have breakfast!"
Zhao Huaian had come to the Zhong family many times before, so he was very familiar with the place. But later, Zhong Xuexi grew up and became a big girl, and both of them wanted to avoid suspicion.
You can't just enter a girl's room.
But now the window paper between them has been broken, and judging by their current development trend, they will be together sooner or later, so they no longer worry about these empty things.
Zhong Xuexi's room is on the first floor, the one with the best lighting.
He first knocked on the door politely, but there was no response from inside. He wondered why the person was still not awake?
So he gently pushed the door open and saw the person lying on the bed. She had covered her head with the quilt, curled up in the quilt, and was sleeping soundly.
Zhao Huaian tiptoed over to her, and as he approached her, his heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
He sat on the bed and lifted a corner of the quilt. "You're going to be late, lazy pig."
Zhong Xuexi was still dreaming at this moment. She groaned a few times and felt the cold coming from outside the quilt. She kept shrinking down.
Zhao Huaian smiled helplessly, "If you are late, your classmates will laugh at you. Being late for class as the head teacher will set a bad example for them."
Zhong Xuexi suddenly reacted and opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw the man beside the bed, "You... why are you here?"
She quickly grabbed the quilt and moved closer to the bed, her eyes full of vigilance.
Zhao Huaian threw the clothes she had hung by the bed over to him and said, "If I don't come, you will definitely be late."
Since going to and from get off work with her every day, Zhao Huaian would get up half an hour earlier than usual every morning, just so that he could ride his bike slower on the way and talk to her more.
Zhong Xuexi's cheeks flushed, and she turned her face away, "Get out! I need to change my clothes!"
Zhao Huaian teased her deliberately, "You change, I'm not peeking at you."
Zhong Xuexi was anxious, "Get out! You filthy rascal!"
Zhao Huaian smiled without saying anything, got up and went out, and considerately closed the door.
After about ten minutes, Zhong Xuexi finished washing up and ran to the kitchen. "I'm so hungry. What should I eat this morning?"
In the corner of the kitchen, Zhong Zhiyang was talking to Zhao Huaian, and each of them held a big corn cob in their hands.
"Second sister, you are finally awake. This is the breakfast that Lin...sister-in-law made for you. If you don't have time, you can take it with you on the way."
Zhong Xuexi took the aluminum lunch box he handed her and stuffed it into her bag.
