Zhao Dahu chuckled and said, "It's just radishes and cabbage! Today I'll open a can of meat for your darling!"
Zhao Aiguo immediately chimed in, "Grandpa's treating us to hot pot!"
"Huh?" Zhao Dahu looked at his mother and Zhao Aiguo in confusion. Zhao's mother nodded and said, "Yes, let's go over there too!"
The four men strolled leisurely eastward, and upon reaching the entrance, they saw Zhao's father and Wei Shuqing's older brother approaching. After exchanging pleasantries, they went inside. When no one was around, Wei Xigun secretly told Wei Shuqing, "Qi Zhifang's daughter, Wang Fang, has gotten into trouble."
Wei Shuqing was taken aback. "Why?"
Wei Xigun curled his lip and snorted, "What else could it be? He's having an affair! He got someone pregnant."
Wei Shuqing's mind was buzzing. Something was wrong! There was this passage in that strange book. Didn't Li Maocai recommend Wang Fang for the design institute's publicity team selection? And then, after she wasn't selected, he introduced her to a sales clerk.
On second thought, that makes sense. It seems Li Maocai wasn't really attracted to Qi Zhifang, so he probably didn't care.
"That's quite serious. Alright, alright, she's no longer a concern for us. Why should we care about her? Let Grandma Qi and Qi Zhifang worry about her!"
During the meal, Zhao's father mentioned finding a temporary cafeteria job for Wei's sister-in-law. Wei Xigun's eyes reddened, and he almost cried. He quickly wiped his face, raised his glass, and said, "Father-in-law, thank you, thank you!" He then drank half of his drink and was about to kneel down when Zhao mentioned it. "Hey! Hey! Brother, what are you doing? Get up!"
Zhao's parents quickly pulled them aside, telling them to just focus on their work. Zhao Dahu asked, "Dad, are there dormitories for temporary workers?"
Wei Xigun then realized that he had been so happy that he had no place to stay.
Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "How can a temporary worker in the canteen be provided with a dormitory? Isn't there an empty room for Xiao Wei? You two pack it up and let your brother-in-law and sister-in-law live there!"
Wei Xigun wiped away his tears and kept thanking him. Zhao Aiguo asked curiously, "Uncle doesn't want to work, does he? He's so sad he's crying!"
Zhao's mother patted him on the back and said, "Why are you talking so much? Your uncle is crying with joy!"
Zhao Aiguo shook his head. "The adult world is so complicated. You can like something and then cry."
