Chapter 312
"The eldest brother works in a bearing factory. He is a workshop manager and is about to retire."
"The second son works in the street office. He had a disagreement with his leader and was suppressed and had no chance of promotion. After 30 years, he was still a clerk and was about to retire. But then, for some reason, he got lucky and became a deputy director."
Chen Yafeng was still a little surprised when she talked about it.
"In the past, our family has not been doing well and has had bad luck. But recently, it seems that our luck has turned around. Many good things have happened in our family. My eldest grandson has been promoted and my youngest granddaughter has been admitted to university."
Chen Yafeng couldn't help but smile when she talked about it.
There are three happy events in the family. Isn't it exciting?
Chen Yaxian was also happy for her.
The few of them were chatting animatedly, and after learning about the Zhang family's situation and that Chen Yuwei was now working at a newspaper in the capital, Chen Yafeng became even happier.
While chatting, Chen Yafeng insisted on going to buy some vegetables and cook.
Chen Yaxian refused to let her go. After all, the Chen family's children all ate in the company cafeteria, and Chen Yafeng was alone. She usually just ate casually during the day. In the evening, the children would bring her some food from the cafeteria before returning.
Basically, there are not many cases of firing.
This is also the good thing about the unit, most of them have a cafeteria.
Moreover, the company canteens of this era provide three meals a day, and you don’t need to pay for it.
Later, Chen Yaxian took Chen Yafeng to the Zhang family's yard to get acquainted with the family.
But after seeing the Zhang family's yard, Chen Yafeng finally understood why Chen Yaxian and the other two had looked so sorry for her before.
Although my sister's son-in-law's family also has only one main courtyard left, the environment is completely different when the family has their own courtyard.
"Aunt, the situation is getting better. It won't be long before the housing problem is solved. When the time comes, think of a way to improve it. It should be no problem."
Zhang Yaowen had a good impression of Chen Yafeng, and with the help of his mother-in-law, he naturally prepared to take care of the Cui family appropriately.
Chen Yafeng looked grateful, but she knew that Zhang Yaowen was still working in the southwestern provincial capital, and if he was going to arrange a job there, he would definitely need help through connections.
"No, no, it's fine, don't worry about it."
Zhang Yaowen and Chen Yuwei smiled and said nothing more.
It has been seven or eight years, and housing changes will come soon.
That night, in order not to worry the Cui family, the three of them cooked dinner early. After eating, they sent Chen Yafeng home together, and Zhang Yaowen also brought some things.
Chen Yafeng refused for a long time, but Zhang Yaowen remained unmoved and insisted on taking it. Chen Yafeng almost burst into tears.
This was just the first time she met her nephew's son-in-law, but the way she looked at Zhang Yaowen was the same as the way she looked at her own son-in-law.
When I got back to the Cui family, they were just getting off work one after another.
When they saw Chen Yaxian and the other two, as well as a pile of things in the main room, they were stunned.
After Han Xuanhe introduced himself to everyone, everyone finally became familiar with each other.
"Aunt, cousin, and brother-in-law, next time you come, don't bring anything. It's been a long time since then, and it's not easy no matter how good it is."
Cui Zhonghua smoked a cigarette with a look of emotion on his face.
He winked at his wife, who nodded. He then turned back to the room and began packing his things for Chen Yaxian and her family to take back.
The same goes for others.
Zhang Yaowen smiled. Although he didn't seek such a thing, he had a better impression of the Cui family.
Although Cui Linghua got married, her husband's family had too many brothers to take care of, so her life was not going well.
Later, Cui Linghua's husband passed away. After discussing it, the two brothers of the Cui family let Cui Linghua take her two daughters back to her parents' home.
The two sisters-in-law of the Cui family were a little unhappy at first, but Cui Linghua was a very good person. After returning, she paid the living expenses every month and was diligent. The two daughters were also very sensible. Gradually, they became more and more harmonious, and there were no conflicts.
"My little niece is also at Kyoto University"
Cui Linghua was overjoyed when she learned the information from the Zhang family.
Her younger daughter has also been admitted to Kyoto University, so let them get along well with each other then.
"The Guosheng is the young scientist who was reported in the newspaper about the aircraft carrier research."
Cui Qinghua looked at Zhang Yaowen in surprise.
Zhang Yaowen's mouth twitched. What scientist?
This guy just got his college degree.
When I heard that Zhang Guosheng was only a high school student before, and then entered the university for further studies, and just got his degree and was directly admitted as a graduate student, I was even more amazed.
A high school student can study aircraft carriers. Look, this is genius!
The Cui family was encouraged.
Although they have never met each other, their cousins and nephews are honored to have met him.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely heated.
In the yard, although the other families did not hear the Cui family's conversation clearly, they were envious of the lively atmosphere here and the demeanor of Chen Yaxian and the other two that they had seen before.
"Damn it, all the good things are taken by the Cui family!"
A rather wretched-looking middle-aged man stood at the door of a shed in the corner of the yard, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Okay, Ergou, don't be jealous of them. The Cui family was said to be very powerful decades ago. If they weren't in decline, we wouldn't be able to live in the same courtyard!"
In the next shed, a middle-aged woman sneered.
This Li Ergou is nothing but shit. He keeps getting fed up with this and that.
How come there is such a shit-stirring stick in their yard?
Everyone in the yard looks down on Li Ergou, but he doesn't know who in the yard can look up to him.
"This yard was allocated by the government. How can the Cui family take up the lion's share while our family lives in such a poor condition?"
Li Ergou didn't hear the middle-aged woman's sarcasm at all and looked indignant.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman was also somewhat dissatisfied.
The Cui family really took up too many rooms. There were nine people in their family, but they only lived in three rooms...
When Zhang Yaowen and his companions left, they also left with large and small bags.
They refused to accept it no matter what, but the two brothers of the Cui family chased them and stuffed several big bags into their mouths.
At first glance, they were the Cui family’s most impressive gifts and some food.
"Mom, don't worry. My second aunt's family is very good and united. The environment will get better and better in the future, and life will get better and better."
Seeing that her mother was still a little worried, Chen Yuwei couldn't help but comfort her.
However, in Zhang Yaowen's mind was the wretched middle-aged man he saw when he left. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person, and his eyes were full of ill intentions.
Unfortunately, he had to return to the provincial capital the next day, so he could only ask his wife and children to take care of him here.
On the weekend, Zhang Lin, Zhang Guosheng and others went home and, together with Zhang Wan, visited Cui's family.
Seeing Zhang Lin and the other two, the Cui family was in an uproar again, and the atmosphere was extremely heated.
Three college students and a scientist!
When Zhang Guosheng heard the title of scientist, he shook his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no, I'm still a long way from here!"
Zhang Guosheng really fell in love with research. The skills he drew were only elementary and totally inadequate, so he started studying like crazy.
Now, the more he learns, the more he feels that his knowledge is not enough, so how can he accept this title?
People just thought he was being humble, but they never mentioned the word again.
