The call was from Zhou's mother.
Mother Zhou's voice was filled with excitement: "Xiao Xia, your second brother got a promotion. He will be transferred to the city this month. He seems to be a director."
Zhou Chengsen had a dinner party tonight and got home a little late. He told his parents the good news as soon as he came back.
Jiang Xia smiled: "Mom, please help me congratulate my second brother."
Zhou Chenglei also came out and sat next to Jiang Xia, leaning against her with his hands around her waist.
Grandpa, grandmother and second aunt, who were originally watching Jiang Xia talking on the phone, habitually turned their eyes away and watched TV.
This natural intimacy has been engraved in their daily lives, without him noticing or her noticing.
My grandparents and I have seen it so many times every day that we have gotten used to it.
What Zhou Chenglei was thinking was: I don’t know whether this congratulations is for my second brother to become a father again, or for my second brother to be promoted.
My father-in-law will take up a new post in the neighboring province in August at the latest. When he leaves, he will probably take a few capable colleagues with him, leaving the position vacant.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chenglei felt that his second brother must have been promoted.
Zhou Chenglei waited patiently for Jiang Xia to finish talking to her mother on the phone, and then confirmed his guess.
My grandparents and my second aunt were all very happy to hear this!
Li Qiufeng was reading in the room and came out when she heard the laughter.
After the family shared this joy, the grandmother asked, "Will Yingying go to the city to study or stay in the village? If Yingying goes to the city to study, your mother will have to go there to help take care of the child, right? Otherwise, both they have to go to work, how will they pick her up? If Yingying goes to the city to study, then Zhou Zhou should be transferred there as well. Otherwise, how will your mother take care of her if they are separated in two places?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Wait until their summer vacation comes, then ask the children for their opinions and discuss it."
Jiang Xia nodded: "It doesn't matter whether Zhou Zhou is transferred or not. After I get my diploma, we can go back."
The design studio will also move back at that time.
The shop will continue to be open and managed by Liu Weizhen and Li Qiufeng, as most of the work needs to be done by hiring people anyway.
Liu Weizhen still has three years before she graduates from college, so she definitely wants to keep running the shop.
Whether Li Qiufeng studied at a normal school, joined the army or took the college entrance examination, she had an extra income from the shop.
From now on, Jiangxia will not share the profits from the store, and the rent will be paid by them.
Jiang Xia was just helping them get the leftover goods from the factory.
Now the clothes in their store are selling well, and several more clothing stores have opened on that street to help the factory clear its inventory.
The competition is getting fierce, but they still have the best business.
After all, not everyone can get clearance goods at such a low price like Jiang Xia, and the store already has regular customers.
Grandma: "If your mom has to go to the city to help take care of the child, your grandpa and I will continue to help you take care of the child. Don't worry about no one to take care of the child. You two can just focus on your work."
Grandpa also nodded: "Yes, your grandmother and I can still work for a few more years. You are at the age to work hard. Work hard and don't worry about no one to take care of the children at home. If you don't work hard when you are young, you won't have the chance to work hard when you are old!"
Second aunt: "Don't worry, Xiaoxia, if no one is there to take care of her, I will continue to help you!"
Without Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei, their daughter would not have been able to marry so well, and their family would not be able to live such a good life now.
Out of gratitude, my second aunt will also help raise the three children.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, Grandma, and Second Aunt. Second Uncle's seafood stall is doing so well that he needs to hire more people. Will Second Aunt go to the seafood stall to help out when she goes back? We can just hire more people."
Grandpa said: "It's not good to ask outsiders to take care of the children. Who knows who they are? Don't teach the children bad things."
Grandma: "Why please? We can take care of it. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others."
Second Aunt: "You can just hire someone to run the seafood stall. Anyone can kill fish, but it's not easy to hire someone to take care of the children. If the person you hire has a bad heart and bullies the children, the children won't say anything, but I'm worried."
My second aunt has been taking care of the three children since they were just one month old. She really treats them as her own grandchildren.
The three children are becoming more and more naughty, and the second aunt protects them more than the Jiang Xia couple.
The grandparents loved their three children even more and would grant their every request.
Grandma: "Your second aunt can also help you take the baby to Qiufeng to give birth."
Li Qiufeng blushed instantly: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not that fast."
The whole family laughed.
Jiang Xia was very touched: "Thank you, Grandpa, Grandma, and Second Aunt."
Grandma: "Why thank me? Why be polite! We are enjoying a good life following you."
My second aunt also laughed and said, "That's true! They are really enjoying a good life. My parents have been here for a year and they look ten years younger! When I go back to the village, everyone says I look younger too."
Taking care of children is not as hard as doing farm work. You gain weight and don’t need to be exposed to the sun, so your skin becomes whiter. You look younger naturally when you are white and plump.
People cannot be too thin when they get older. They need to have some flesh on their bodies and faces to look young and noble.

A week later, Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang came with a group of children.
Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang took a ten-day leave to visit their families this time. They also took a seven-day leave when they got married last time.
The couple took advantage of the holiday to invite the remaining relatives to dinner.
A wedding banquet was divided into several sessions, which was really tiring for someone like Ruan Tang who didn't like socializing.
But this time, Mr. and Mrs. Ruan were particularly happy.
Zhou Chengsen was transferred to the city, so the couple no longer had to be separated.
Moreover, the fact that my son-in-law can work in the city also proves that he is capable. He is still so young and has a promising future.
After the couple had finished entertaining the guests, Jiang Xia had also finished his work, but Zhou Chenglei had not yet finished.
Jiang Xia took the triplets, Zhou Chengsen and his wife, and a group of children to visit all the places in Beijing and eat at all the delicious restaurants and shops in Beijing.
After playing for five consecutive days, Zhou Chenglei finished his work and Jiang Xia's results came out.
On this day, Zhou Chenglei took several nephews and nieces and Jiang Xia to the school to check their grades.
Let the children experience the academic atmosphere of a century-old prestigious school.
There is no need to bring the triplets, as they have been there many times and they don’t understand anything now.
The two of them walked into the school with their nephews and nieces.
Zhou Zhou looked around: "Aunt, your school looks so big! It feels like I can never finish walking around."
Zhou Ying: "And it's so beautiful! The school gate is so special, like a memorial archway."
Zhou Wenyao: "Of course a university is big, otherwise why would it be called a university?"
Zhou Wenzu: "I understand! Our elementary school is smaller so it's called an elementary school. My eldest brother's junior high school is a little bigger than the elementary school so it's called a middle school. The high school is a little bigger than the junior high school and is higher than the junior high school so it's called a high school. The university is the largest so it's called a university! Uncle, am I right? What's the reward?"
Zhou Wenguang's mouth twitched: How could he have such a stupid and foolish brother!
Zhou Chenglei bent his fingers and gave him a five-fingered slap: "Isn't that right? Go back and study hard!"
Zhou Wenzu was angry but dared not speak out. Why didn't he study hard? He made progress again this semester.
My aunt gave him a reward a few days ago.
My uncle is the worst! (End of this chapter)
