Two days later, Lin Cuixin couldn't wait to return to her hometown and told her family the good news that Xiang Changlin had been transferred to work in the city. The whole family was very excited because that was a stable job in the city!
"Mom, the second child is really good, he brings honor to our family!"
Xiang Qianjin was not jealous at all when he learned that his younger brother was so successful, but only envious and proud. His younger brother was smarter than himself since he was a child, and he was happy for him to have achieved what he has today. There were only two brothers in the family, and it was enough for his younger brother to be successful, so he could stay with his parents and take care of them in their old age.
Xiang Zhong also nodded happily, "Yes, I never dared to think about it before. When will Changlin go to work in the city?"
Lin Cuixin replied, "We have to wait until the injury on my arm is healed. I haven't taken off the plaster yet."
Li Gui'e asked with concern, "Mom, when are you going back? The vegetables in the field have grown a lot. I'll pick some for you."
Ye Qing's family has many people and they have to spend money to buy vegetables in the city, so Xiang Qianjin or Ye Erzhu will send some vegetables over from time to time, so that they can save a little.
"I'll leave tomorrow afternoon and stay at home for two days. Is there anything going on at home these days?"
"No, everything is fine."
Lin Cuixin nodded and touched the little hand of her grandson in her arms, "Daqing is growing up very fast. He has grown a lot in just ten days since I last came back."
At the end of last year, Li Gui'e gave birth to another son, which made her feel more confident. In the countryside, if a family does not have a few boys, they will be looked down upon, and they will have no one to fight back when they are bullied.
The person she envied the most was Ye Qing, who gave birth to three sons in two pregnancys, surpassing her in one go. She often complained to Xiang Qianjin about this, saying that they were brothers born of the same parents, but why could others have two or three children while she only had one every time.
Xiang Qianjin was also helpless about this, his younger brother was too capable, making him, the older brother, seem useless. He was really jealous of his younger brother in this matter.
But now that he has two sons, he is content. But looking at his wife's enthusiasm, it seems she is not satisfied with having more children.
——
As soon as her mother-in-law left, Ye Qing felt a huge amount of pressure. Even with Xiang Changlin helping her take care of the child, she still felt powerless.
After putting the children to sleep at night, she collapsed on the kang and sighed, "They say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure, it's absolutely true. When mom is not around, I feel like I'm busy like a headless fly."
Xiang Changlin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If they dare not be filial to you when they grow up, I will break their legs!"
Ye Qing rolled his eyes. "Come on, can you bear to do that? I don't care about whether they are filial or not. The most important thing is that they grow up quickly. When we move to the city and settle down, we can send Yanyan and Yueyue to the orphanage class, right? In two years, we can send the triplets there as well. Then mom and I can have a better rest."
Xiang Changlin nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Although he was reluctant to send his children to school so early, he also had to understand his wife and elderly mother. Taking care of five children was too tiring, and he had personal experience of it.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed and it was time for Xiang Changlin to remove the plaster. Wang Juan happened to come with the child, so Ye Qing accompanied him to the hospital.
"It's normal that your arm is still a little swollen. I'll prescribe some medicine to reduce the swelling. You can also apply hot compresses and massage to reduce the swelling when you get home. Your joints are still stiff, so you need to do functional exercises step by step. Don't be too anxious, just take your time..."
The doctor gave a lot of instructions, and Ye Qing wrote them down one by one.
When the two of them got the medicine and returned home, they found that there were guests at home.
"Brother Zhou? When did you come?"
"Brother Changlin, sister, I just arrived a while ago. Auntie and auntie said you went to the hospital to remove the plaster, so I waited for you at home. How are you? Are you recovering well?"
When Zhou Ming saw them coming back, he stood up and greeted them with a smile.
He walked over to Changlin and asked him to sit down. "It's fine, but you still need to practice slowly. You can't fully recover in a short time."
"It's normal. A broken bone will take a hundred days to heal. Don't worry. It will heal over time."
"Well, are you here to deliver goods?"
Zhou Ming nodded, "Yes, by the way, let me tell you something, haven't you been confirmed to be transferred to the city? From now on, we will be real colleagues!
The team's new housing complex just happened to be completed, and I was promoted to team leader, so I was able to get a new house, and I also helped you apply for one."
"Thank you, brother!"
As a newcomer, Zhou Ming must have put in a lot of effort to get a new house.
"Brother Zhou, thank you so much!"
Ye Qing also understood the difficulty involved, and his tone was full of sincere gratitude.
When Wang Juan and Lin Cuixin heard that they would have a new house to live in when they got there, they looked at Zhou Ming with gratitude.
Zhou Ming felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by this family, "What's our relationship? We'll be neighbors from now on. You guys are new here, so I'll definitely lend a hand if I can!
But the house has two bedrooms, so you might feel a little crowded.”
He has put a lot of effort into this new house, so he definitely can't think of a three-bedroom house. Even if Xiang Changlin lives there, other people will be jealous and have objections, which will also have a bad impact on Xiang Changlin's future work.
"We all understand this. We are very satisfied with Changlin's current position in the second room."
Although the bigger the house, the better, you still have to remain humble in front of outsiders, otherwise it will seem like you are taking advantage of others and being too arrogant.
Zhou Ming grinned, "Brother Changlin is so capable, promotion is just around the corner, and then you can apply for a bigger house!"
Xiang Changlin laughed, "Thank you for your good words!"
"Don't worry when we move. I'll come over to deliver the goods and take you back directly by car. Just apply to the team for this."
"That's great! We were just worrying about how to move when the time comes!"
Ye Qing really likes Zhou Ming as a friend. He is reliable and thoughtful. It is worth having such a friend for a lifetime!
Zhou Ming laughed, "We are in this business, how can we not have a car? It's nothing!"
"Brother Zhou, let's have lunch together at home. I'll make you something delicious!"
Since he has helped me so much, it is only right that I should treat him to a meal.
Zhou Ming felt her cordial invitation and did not refuse. She really missed Ye Qing's cooking skills.
