"The food at the factory is quite good." Zhou Jiadong was a little embarrassed by Zhou Cailian's words. Actually, he was not used to it at first when he first entered the factory, but the work was not tiring, and he quickly adapted after a few days.
Yu Qiuying's attitude towards him remained indifferent. She didn't say anything, took out her key, and opened the courtyard gate.
Zhou Jiadong asked, "Mom, has your breakfast shop opened yet? Where is it located?"
"When are you going back to the factory over at the Cultural Park? If you're not in a rush, I can take you there this afternoon to familiarize yourself with the area," Zhou Cailian said.
"Okay, then take me there this afternoon."
As Zhou Jiadong spoke, he asked Zhou Jiahong, "By the way, eldest sister, what about the fifth brother? Which factory did he go to?"
He entered the factory first, so he didn't know which factory Zhou Jiahong entered.
Zhou Cailian told him, "He didn't go to the factory; he works as a waiter and dishwasher in a restaurant in the western district."
The shoe factory where Zhou Jiadong worked was in the East District, which was actually not far from the restaurant where Zhou Jiahong worked.
After lunch, Zhou Cailian practiced calligraphy for a while as usual, and then took Zhou Jiadong to the shop.
Zhou Jiadong rode his bicycle with Zhou Cailian sitting behind him. Along the way, she told him about the breakfast shop's opening and how it had been going on, but she didn't tell him how much they earned each day. After all, no matter how much they earned, it was all their mother's money and had nothing to do with them.
As soon as Zhou Cailian got off her bicycle at the store entrance, she saw Qin Yang riding his bicycle towards her.
She was still wondering whether she should say hello to him when Qin Yang stopped his bicycle in front of her.
The man was tall with long legs, and even in casual clothes, he exuded a somewhat imposing aura. He supported himself on one leg.
"Officer Qin, are you going to work?" Zhou Cailian smiled. Having interacted with him so many times, she could at least speak to Qin Yang without stuttering anymore.
Qin Yang responded, then looked at Zhou Jiadong and casually asked, "Is this your boyfriend?"
Zhou Cailian: "..."
She gave an awkward twitch of her lips. "No, it's my younger brother."
Then he hurriedly introduced Qin Yang to Zhou Jiadong, "Third brother, this is Police Officer Qin."
"Oh, nice to meet you, Officer Qin." Zhou Jiadong greeted Qin Yang somewhat awkwardly, wondering where his older sister had met this police officer.
Qin Yang nodded slightly in response, then told Zhou Cailian that he was going to work, and rode away on his bicycle.
After watching Qin Yang walk away, Zhou Jiadong asked Zhou Cailian, "Big sister, how did you end up getting acquainted with a police officer?"
“Oh, he’s the son of that bus driver from the other day. Mom, this breakfast shop is rented from Qin Gong’s family. Isn’t that a coincidence?” Zhou Cailian told Zhou Jiadong the whole story.
As she spoke, she opened the shop door with her key.
Zhou Jiadong went inside and took a look. "It really looks quite professional. Mom is amazing. She can do anything well."
He used to think that his mother was just an ordinary rural woman who didn't know anything. But after coming to Dongguan Province, he realized that his mother was not the ignorant woman he thought she was; she knew a lot.
It was then that he suddenly realized he didn't seem to understand his mother at all.
