Xu Manman could understand this result. Her third uncle was doing very well in the department store industry in Hai City. His connections and resources were all in Hai City. It was certainly more cost-effective to stay in Hai City than to start from scratch in Beijing. Besides, the two children were here and would not move easily.
Her father is a technician and can make a difference wherever he goes with his skills. Besides, he has children and a house in Beijing, so he doesn't have to worry about the transfer.
As for my uncle, he is a technician. I guess his salary will not be reduced when he goes to a new place. But it is different for my aunt. She was promoted to logistics director with great difficulty. If she is transferred, she will definitely lose her position as director. She will have to start all over again and her salary will also be reduced.
Moreover, they are less confident than the Xu family. They have no house in Beijing, and Chen Feng is also studying in Hai City. It seems unrealistic to give up so much and move the whole family for the sake of an eldest son.
Although she told her father that she would contact Jin Zichu after returning home, Xu Manman still took the opportunity to call Jin Zichu while Xu Jianguo went to the street office to get a letter of introduction.
Two days later, Jin Zichu arrived in Hai City with a suitcase.
"Zi Chu, here!"
As soon as Jin Zichu left the station, he saw Xu Manman and her five brothers.
It walked over, "Brother Ming, Manman." Although it didn't know the others on the surface, it nodded and greeted them.
Chen Ming took his suitcase and said, "Let's go, let's go eat first, and then go home and rest after dinner."
They went to the same restaurant they had eaten at last summer vacation, a private restaurant run by Xu Jianmin's family. The atmosphere has not been so intense in the past two years, and this time, the courtyard was much more lively.
Not only were the side rooms full, but there were also several tables set up in the yard. Fortunately, thanks to Xu Jianmin's connections, I was able to book a table in advance, otherwise I might not have been able to have a meal.
Everyone sat down around the table and began to formally introduce themselves to each other.
"This is Xu Jianmin, the third child of the Xu family. He's six months older than you. The rest are younger than you. This is Jianmin's younger brother. Xu Jianan, the fourth child of the Xu family. This is my younger brother Chen Feng. The youngest is Manman's younger brother Xu Jianguo. Jianguo also got admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University this year. He will go to Beijing with us then."
After greeting everyone, Jin Zichu took out the gift he had prepared in advance from his briefcase.
"I've always heard Manman and Mingge talk about you guys, and today we finally get to meet each other. I was pressed for time this time, so I didn't bring anything else. This brand of fountain pen is what I use most often, and I hope you all can get used to it."
Jin Zichu was wearing a more expensive domestic brand. Although it was not a luxury item for the other people at the table, they still had to save up for a while to buy it.
For a moment, no one dared to reach out to take it.
It was Chen Ming who spoke again, "Zichu is a wealthy man. He brought it here from far away. You should accept it. When you have time these days, take him to visit Haishi more often and let him experience the local characteristics."
Although he also felt that Zichu's gift was a bit heavy, it was not just one, but six including his and Manman's, but he couldn't let Zichu embarrass himself when meeting his brothers for the first time.
After hearing what Chen Ming said, everyone reached out to take it, "Brother Zichu is really too polite."
"Leave Brother Zichu to us for the next few days. We'll make sure he has enough to eat and have fun."
After dinner, at Jin Zichu's request, several people rode their bicycles to the direction of the small villa. After all, its main task this time was to help them look at the house and draw up decoration design drawings.
Xu Manman's small villa is next to her third uncle's, and her eldest uncle's yard is in the other direction.
The yard of my uncle's house had been cleared at this time. Although it was called the Xu family's residence, the whole yard was not very big. It was a two-story courtyard. The first courtyard had two east and west wing rooms, three main rooms and two side rooms. When I came to the second courtyard, I walked through a small open space and saw a two-story building opposite.
Compared to the spacious and open courtyard of the Xu family in Beijing, this place seems much smaller and more exquisite.
This place was probably rented to a public institution in the past, so the overall preservation is still relatively intact. However, the small building at the back, the stairs and the floor are all made of wood, and they are inevitably worn out over time. Xu Manman took a look and thought that if nothing unexpected happened, all of these would have to be demolished.
Jin Zichu was very professional at his work. As soon as he entered the yard, he quickly got into work mode. He took out the prepared tools from his suitcase and asked several brothers from the Xu and Chen families to help him measure the dimensions and make records.
