Chapter 283: Didn't Stop My Wife from Making Progress (Page 1/2)

After hearing what his sister-in-law said, Han Shijia also showed his high emotional intelligence:

"Qianqian is the same as me. I have my mother-in-law to take care of the family and relieve me from worries. Otherwise, I would have no time to take care of things outside. My mother is also a great contributor to our family."

Jiang Qian smiled.

No matter how many holes there are, flattery never wears out. There is no one who doesn't like to be flattered.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "That's as you should be. You're busy with accounting work for several factories, so you don't have time to spare. Of course I have to help you out when I'm free at home."

Han's mother asked her daughter, "You are an accountant for several factories? I didn't hear you mention that on the phone."

"When I'm busy, I'll be transferred over temporarily to help settle the accounts." Han Shijia said with a smile.

Mother Han nodded and said to Mrs. Zhao, "While the children are busy, we as elders must take care of them. Take Qianqian for example. She has to work in the Propaganda Department and translate manuscripts. The work in the Propaganda Department is relatively easy, but the translation work is really brain-consuming. I have read the English texts and it is like reading a book written in a foreign language!"

"What's the matter with Qianqian's translation job? I heard Shijia talk about it, but I don't understand." Seeing that her in-laws wanted to chat, Mrs. Zhao said in a supportive manner.

"I don't really understand it either. It's just that the leader from the provincial library called me specifically and gave me the translated manuscripts that were released. They were all very difficult, and I felt dizzy reading them. But even if I didn't understand, I knew it consumed a lot of brain energy, so I had to cook a pot of soup for Qianqian every day to nourish her." Han's mother said.

"You really should make up for the work that requires a lot of brainpower, otherwise you will easily get headaches when you get old." Old Mrs. Zhao agreed.

"Will it be like this?" Han Shiguo couldn't help but ask.

Mrs. Zhao said as a matter of course, "Of course. Your brother-in-law's job requires thinking, and your sister's job is the same. They are very busy at the end of the month and the end of the year. I often cook for them, such as the Gastrodia elata. Mother-in-law, you can buy some for Qianqian to cook. The effect is very good."

Han Shijia nodded when he heard this, "That's right, Shuxu overused his brain during that period, and his head was swollen and painful. He only ate this two or three times and it was fine. I felt very comfortable after eating this, too. Qianqian uses her brain a lot, so it's good to stew some of this from time to time!"

Mother Han said, "Then I'll go back to my hometown and find someone to buy some."

"Is there anyone selling it in the village? Do you want me to help buy some?" asked Old Mrs. Zhao.

"We have a barefoot doctor there. He has some in stock at home. They are all medicinal herbs dug up in the mountains. I've heard him talk about Gastrodia elata before. I'll go back and ask. If it's out of stock, I'll trouble you to buy some for me."

"OK."

Han Shijia smiled and asked his sister-in-law, "Qianqian, you have been on business trips to Yangcheng frequently in recent years. Have you been on business trips to Shanghai?"

Jiang Qian smiled and said, "I just followed the team over to join in the fun."

"What do you mean you're just joining in the fun? Deputy Director Zhao has been praising you, saying that you've made great contributions every time you go on a business trip. The leader of the provincial unit also called the head of the base specifically, wanting to recruit you to work in the provincial unit. Knowing that you have a family, they're even going to arrange a house for you so that you don't have to worry." Han's mother said.

In front of her mother-in-law, Old Lady Zhao, Han's mother certainly doesn't mind showing off her muscles, because her third son-in-law now holds a high position in the county unit.

But I won’t brag about my son. Although he has reached the level of deputy group leader, everyone knows it and there is nothing to brag about.

Moreover, praising her son seemed too deliberate and was not in line with Han's mother's usual style.

So it’s a good idea to start with the daughter-in-law’s achievements. Besides, the mother-in-law doesn’t know about it yet, so she has to tell her!
