At this moment, the happiest person at the door should be Liu Guangqi.
He secretly rejoiced, "Haha! Today I can finally hold my head high and even step on the Sun family."
The young people in the compound were all suppressed by Sun Zhengguo, and everyone had gotten used to it.
Today I finally got to enjoy being the center of attention, but you, Sun Zheng'an, had to come and join in the fun.
If you're going to join in the fun, then so be it! But you don't have the power to back it up, so if you don't kick someone when they're down, you'd be doing yourself a disservice.
"Sun Zheng'an, your whole family is so capable, I'm sure you're not bad either. So stop hiding your abilities and show yourself!"
Liu Guangqi said with a mocking expression.
Sun Zheng'an was speechless. He originally wanted to handle things discreetly, but everyone insisted on making him stand out.
Alright then, as you all wish, come out and show yourselves, everyone!
Sun Zheng'an took out a letter of intent for job allocation from his bag and handed it to his second aunt.
"Second Aunt, look what's written on this?"
Just as Auntie Erda reached out her hand, Sun Zheng'an hurriedly said, "Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot something. Auntie Erda, you can't read. Why don't you let Guangqi take a look?"
The second aunt knew that Sun Zheng'an was doing it on purpose, but she couldn't say anything and could only wait for her son to finish reading it before making a decision.
Liu Guangqi took the allocation sheet and saw that the allocation column read: Receiving Unit - Ministry of Machinery.
"How is this possible?" Liu Guangqi shouted in a fit of anger.
At that moment, he realized that he was a clown, jumping around here, unaware that he was already naked and dancing.
"Son, why aren't you saying anything? What unit has he been assigned to?"
Faced with his mother's question, Liu Guangqi had no desire to answer. He hurriedly returned the form to Sun Zheng'an, muttered "Congratulations!" and pulled his mother along, preparing to go home. At that moment, he felt utterly humiliated.
If the neighbors next door still can't see any signs of trouble at this point, they'd be complete fools.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Aunt Chen blocked the way.
"Guangqi! None of us can read, can you tell me what's written on it?"
Liu Guangqi, who was already deeply hurt, was stabbed in the back again by Aunt Chen, and his defenses completely crumbled. He said with a grim expression.
"Sun Zheng'an has been assigned to the Machinery Department. Are you satisfied now? Don't block my way, I still want to go home."
After Liu Guangqi finished speaking, he grabbed his mother and hurried towards the backyard, moving with astonishing speed.
"This child, we really can't read, why are you still unhappy?"
Watching the Liu family mother and son walk away, Aunt Chen said with an innocent expression.
However, the faint smile on her face completely betrayed her, indicating that her actions just now were intentional.
"Zheng'an, congratulations! Unlike some people who have no real skills but still boast so much, I feel ashamed for them."
With a smile on her face, Aunt Chen offered her sincere congratulations, while at the same time criticizing the behavior of the Liu family mother and son.
"Aunt Chen is right. The Sun family really knows how to raise their children. They are all very successful. Zheng'an, Auntie also wants to congratulate you!"
"..."
"..."
Sun Zheng'an politely responded to each of his neighbors' congratulations.
As evening fell and the sun set, the workers in the compound finished their day's work and dragged their tired bodies back to their courtyards.
Then, just five minutes later, the news that had happened during the day spread like wildfire throughout the entire compound, becoming a hot topic of conversation.
Regarding the comparison between the two families' children, the neighbors secretly mocked the Liu family, thinking they were overestimating themselves and how could they possibly compare to the Sun family?
This rumor spread quickly throughout the compound, making the Liu family feel extremely embarrassed and angry.
Although most of the residents in this compound are rather eccentric and extremely jealous, they can still distinguish who is the king and queen.
Now, the Liu family is clearly at a disadvantage, and it's only natural that they are being ridiculed.
When Liu Haizhong returned home and learned of this, he was furious and started yelling at his second aunt: "You gossipy old woman, who told you to go out and show off like that?...
Logically speaking, someone like Liu Haizhong, a petty person who has achieved success, should be smug and proud of his son's outstanding performance.
But ever since he saw Sun Zhengguo accompany him to the headquarters, he has completely given up the idea of competing with the Sun family for the top spot in the compound. He is already content with keeping his second-in-command position.
So he didn't want to have any conflict with the Sun family, which is why he went home and gave his wife a good scolding.
Meanwhile, in the Sun family's front yard, a harmonious atmosphere prevailed. Everyone was quietly eating their meal when Sun Zheng'an suddenly put down his steamed bun and solemnly said...
"Brother, thank you. I know I wouldn't have been able to get into the Machinery Department without your help."
"Let's eat! Do a good job at work from now on."
Sun Zhengguo didn't care at all and said calmly.
"It's good that you know. When you start working at your company, listen to your older brother's advice and try to get a permanent position as soon as possible."
Seeing the brothers getting along well, Lin Wencui said happily.
"Mom, don't worry, I will," Sun Zheng'an said with a confident expression.
"Big brother, when I graduate, could you help me get a good job?"
Sun Zhenghong seized every opportunity to try and benefit from his elder brother's success.
“If it’s within my capabilities, it’s not impossible. Have you decided which unit you want to go to?” Sun Zhengguo asked in return.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, there are still two years left, so I'll think about it then."
"..."
After discussing work, the family continued eating. After the meal, Lin Wencui and Sun Zhenghong started clearing the dishes, while Sun Zhengan went out of his way to please Sun Zhengguo and made him a cup of tea.
"Brother, have some tea."
Sun Zhengguo frowned, sensing that his younger brother had other motives, and asked.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Sun Zheng'an was a little embarrassed when asked that question.
"Pfft!" Ning Xiaowei chuckled from the side.
"You're not a good older brother at all. Zheng'an is about to start working, shouldn't you be thinking about getting him married?"
"No, Zheng'an, you're getting married, why are you asking me? You should talk to your mother about this."
"Brother, Mom said that since Dad isn't home, you're in charge of making all the important decisions for the family."
I see!
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the eldest brother is like a father. This is not just a saying. In Lin Wencui's heart, her eldest son is now the head of the family.
After understanding the whole story, Sun Zhengguo immediately expressed his opinion.
"Then let's discuss it with the Yu family after you report to your workplace. We'll pick a good day, and then your older brother will help you propose marriage."
"Thank you, brother. Um, um..."
"Money, right?"
Seeing that his elder brother had brought it up, Sun Zheng'an nodded with a blush.
"This is something your parents promised back then, and they won't shortchange you in the slightest."
"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother..."
When Lin Wencui returned to the house and saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
A harmonious family brings prosperity! That's wonderful.
