Xu Xiangyang's relaxed attitude made Qian Wenqing anxious, and he almost jumped up and down in frustration.
"Brother Xu, why aren't you in a hurry?" He really couldn't understand it. At a time like this, who wouldn't be keeping a close eye on their work?
Look at Xu Xiangyang, he's still laughing, his heart is bigger than his own!
Xu Xiangyang sighed and said, "I've taken care of the work, so you don't need to worry."
I can't say for sure, but I just told him to stop asking.
Qian Wenqing had no choice but to say, "Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever."
He had asked someone to find him this time, and all that was left was to give him a final gift.
Xu Xiangyang understood his good intentions and nodded to show that he understood.
This time, Qian Wenqing ignored him. After talking for a while, he went back.
Xu Xiangyang returned to his room and lay down on the bed. He was exhausted from staying in bed all day.
He's destined to be a workaholic; he can't stay idle.
I glanced at my watch; it was already past seven. There was no point in going into the space now; I'd be kicked out before I could even decide where to go.
Let's not go. Let's just take a shower and go to bed.
A few days later, Xu Xiangyang received Cao Yajun's quota and was waiting for the first person to be assessed before starting work.
He didn't know exactly what the assessment would be, but now he could only leave it to fate and hope that the assessment wouldn't be too difficult.
That morning, Xu Xiangyang got up, changed into his home clothes, and then went to the main room for breakfast.
Wang Xiumin held two children, breastfeeding one while comforting the other.
"I'll hold you this day, you guys eat first." Xu Xiangyang stopped Xu Guangtian from reaching out.
"You have to go to work soon, so go eat first."
Grandma Wang is cooking in the kitchen right now, and Wang Xiumin can't manage it all.
Xu Xiangyang held his eldest son, Xu Xianghua, and then put the baby bottle in his mouth.
"All he does is wail all day!" He was truly impressed; how could a child cry so much?
There was never a moment of peace from morning till night, except when I was sleeping.
Wang Xiumin was very patient in coaxing the child, without finding it annoying at all.
Xu Xiangyang was curious about what kind of patience it took to not lose his temper.
If he were tormented like this, he probably would have smashed the milk bottle and quit long ago.
This is so agonizing!
"Alright, this one's fed." Wang Xiumin put Xu Xiangguo down and then took Xu Xianghua from Xu Xiangyang's arms.
"Oh my god, this child is howling so loudly." Xu Xiangyang frowned as he handed the child over and ran away.
That's going to be tough.
Grandma Wang came into the house and saw him run out. She smiled and said, "What child doesn't make a fuss and be naughty? You'll understand when you have children of your own."
Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes. He didn't want a child. If the child was disobedient, he might have to slap him one day.
With a personality like that, he really couldn't raise children.
After finishing his meal, Xu Xiangyang checked the time and then went to Yan Laosan's house.
He had been to his home before, so he found it easily.
Before even entering the yard, Xu Xiangyang could hear the sound of sawing inside.
He cautiously peeked inside and saw Yan Laosan sawing a log. "Third Brother, busy?"
Yan Laosan looked up when he heard the sound, and when he saw him coming, he immediately put down the saw in his hand and went over.
"Brother, you're here! Come in and sit down, it's warm inside." With that, he warmly invited him into the house.
Xu Xiangyang followed them into the house. The courtyard was small, with only their household living in a 50-square-meter house, housing three generations.
Besides Sun Aihua, Yan Laosan's wife, whom I had met before, his mother was also there.
The old lady was in her sixties and not in good health. She looked quite weak and walked unsteadily.
"Sister-in-law, Auntie," Xu Xiangyang greeted them with a smile.
Seeing that he didn't look well, Sun Aihua nodded reluctantly and continued her needlework.
Seeing her attitude, Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment and said nothing.
"Come sit down." Yan Laosan was busy pouring water and didn't notice his wife's attitude.
"Third Brother, don't bother with this." Xu Xiangyang pulled him and said, "I'll just sit for a bit and then I'll leave. I have something to tell you. You sit here."
This person is too enthusiastic. Their relationship shouldn't be like this; they should be just friends.
His actions made Xu Xiangyang feel awkward, so it was better not to do it that way.
Yan Laosan smiled and nodded, then sat down and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"
At this moment, Sun Aihua started throwing things around, slamming her clothes on the kang (a heated brick bed). It was unclear whether Xu Xiangyang had upset her or if she was simply in a bad mood.
Yan Laosan frowned and said, "Can't you just shut up? Can't you see I'm talking to someone? Go inside and get some clothes."
That woman is so clueless. She's never like this before. I don't know what's gotten into her today.
Xu Xiangyang blinked, understanding what was going on, and could roughly guess what it was.
She probably harbors resentment towards him, otherwise she wouldn't treat him like that.
Sun Aihua put the clothes directly on the kang (a heated brick bed), turned to Yan Laosan and said, "Me, quiet? If it weren't for him, would you have lost your job? Can you please stop jeopardizing your family's food supply with your foul mouth?"
Since Yan Laosan was fired, his family has lost an income. Although Xu Xiangyang pays him a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan, without food coupons, they have to spend a lot of money to buy food.
What's more, without a secure job, what will happen in the future? No retirement pension!
This put a lot of pressure on her, because she felt that working for Xu Xiangyang might lead to her being arrested or losing her job one day.
What job is better than a secure, stable job?
Yan Laosan's face darkened upon hearing this. Normally, he would have kept quiet after Sun Aihua said these things.
But Xu Xiangyang came today and said that in front of everyone, which is disrespectful to him.
"What are you doing? Why are you saying all this? I've told you so many times, I said it myself, what does it have to do with anyone else!" Yan Laosan was furious.
He said it willingly in the first place, and now people are helping him out of consideration for their friendship.
Even if he doesn't help, he can't say anything, because it was his own words.
Xu Xiangyang's expression was not good, after all, this matter was caused by him.
However, Sun Aihua's attitude made him very unhappy.
Regardless, this was a matter between him and Yan Laosan, so he didn't speak up.
Sun Aihua was displeased and said, "When you're being so rude, do you ever think about your family? Look how old your mother is, how much does her medicine cost every day? Your son is already fifteen, have you ever thought about him?"
If it weren't for the immense pressure from her family, would she have gone to such lengths to cause trouble?
She has been feeling very depressed these days. The thought that Yan Laosan might be caught at any time or lose his job means that the entire burden of the family would fall on her shoulders.
So, how could she not be anxious, how could she not be angry?
