It was lunchtime when the family of five returned home. Aunt An was eating. Seeing them come back at this time, she was obviously surprised. "Didn't you say before you left that you wouldn't come back for lunch? Why are you back at this time now?"
He looked at Xie Zheng with a puzzled look, "Is this an emergency mission and we have to leave soon?"
After living in the capital for a few months, Aunt An also realized that Xie Zheng's job was helpless. When a mission came out, even if you were on vacation, you had to leave immediately when notified to return to the team.
When Aunt An went to the grocery store to buy vegetables, she heard someone say that with Xie Zheng's job, some people were called away on their wedding day. It was like a military order, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Seeing that Aunt An had misunderstood, Wang Cuilan quickly explained, "No, we had something to do in the afternoon, so we came back at this time."
Aunt An nodded, and didn't ask Wang Cuilan what was going on. She just asked her, "You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll make it for you right away!"
Wang Cuilan called her, "Aunt An, don't bother. Xie Zheng and I have already eaten outside."
Seeing Aunt An's gaze shift to the children, Wang Cuilan added, "The three children have also eaten." After looking around and not seeing Aunt Zhou, she asked casually.
Aunt An said, "Didn't you give Sister Zhou and me most of the day off? Aunt Zhou thought it had been a while since she last saw her grandchildren, so she went home."
Upon hearing this, Wang Cuilan remembered that Aunt Zhou's home was in the capital, and they had been back in the capital for so long, and Aunt Zhou had no time to go home to visit because she was busy taking care of the three children.
Wang Cuilan smiled embarrassedly, "It's my fault. I didn't think of giving you a holiday for such a long time, so that you can have some time to relax."
Aunt An waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she didn't mean that. Of course, Wang Cuilan knew that Aunt An didn't have any other intentions, she was just talking about Aunt Zhou.
But it was also true that she hadn't given Aunt An and Auntie An a holiday for such a long time. Coincidentally, she also planned to give them a salary increase, so she simply discussed the two matters of vacation and salary increase together.
But Aunt Zhou is not here now, so let’s wait for her to come back and talk about it together.
She was afraid of trouble and didn't want to repeat the same thing twice.
After thinking about Aunt An and the other person, Wang Cuilan decided to go into the house and lie down for a while, and then go house hunting with Xie Zheng later.
What a coincidence, didn’t Wang Cuilan ask Xie Zheng to greet Cheng Shuangcheng today and ask him to pay attention to who has a house to sell recently?
In a blink of an eye, while they were having dinner at a state-owned restaurant, they heard someone at the next table saying that they wanted to sell their house.
The whole conversation lasted no more than an hour. If Xie Zheng hadn't given her assurance, Wang Cuilan would have suspected that someone had overheard her conversation with Xie Zheng.
How else could it be such a coincidence? This was pure coincidence opening the door for coincidence—it was such a coincidence!
After entering the house, Xie Zheng became a little naughty. He hugged the person and kissed her for a while, then turned over and hugged the person to take a nap.
It’s not that Xie Zheng doesn’t want to do anything, but they still have to go house hunting in the afternoon, so there’s not enough time, and Wang Cuilan doesn’t have enough energy either.
Because of this, Xie Zheng was very dissatisfied. He pinched her waist tightly and asked her to press close to him, feeling it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can't we go look at the house another day?"
"No!" Wang Cuilan shook her head without hesitation. However, seeing her man in pain, Wang Cuilan couldn't bear it. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Can I help you in other ways?"
"Really?" Xie Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and the light in his eyes seemed to burn through Wang Cuilan.
When Wang Cuilan saw Xie Zheng's excited look, she immediately regretted it.
Unfortunately, it’s too late!
"Ding ding ding~" At 1:30 in the afternoon, the alarm clock on the bedside table rang on time. Wang Cuilan opened her eyes, looked at the time, and got up.
Wang Cuilan came across the alarm clock by chance while visiting a scrap yard. Seeing that it looked new on the outside, she wondered if it could still be used by replacing some of the internal parts, so she spent ten cents to bring it back.
After going to several factories, it was finally with the help of Xie Zheng that I got the internal parts for producing the alarm clock and successfully modified the alarm clock.
Although the process was a bit tiring, the result was good. Wang Cuilan now likes the alarm clock that she modified by herself.
Well, although Xie Zheng helped with the modification throughout the whole process, she also helped out. To round it off, there is no doubt that the alarm clock was modified by her!
Not seeing Xie Zheng in the room, Wang Cuilan guessed that he had gone to the baby's room to look after the child. She didn't care. After tidying herself up, she took out her passbook from the bottom of the clothes cabinet, put it on her body, and walked out of the bedroom.
Wang Cuilan thought that although she was only going to look at houses today and might not buy one, it was better to be prepared. It was always good to have money on hand, just in case she fell in love with the house!
It also saves you the trouble of coming back to get the money, right?
Pushing open the door, Wang Cuilan walked towards the baby room, but when she passed the living room, she was stunned.
Why are my mother-in-law and sister-in-law here?
He lowered his voice and asked Aunt An, who was carrying water in, what was going on?
Aunt An said, "Tinghua Yin'er asked A Zheng to help her with connections!"
Use connections?
Wang Cuilan suddenly remembered that last week Xie Wan came to Xie Zheng to ask for help in getting Huashengtian to move up. Hasn't she given up yet?
Wang Cuilan blinked her eyes, suddenly interested. She took the kettle and cup from Aunt An and said to her, "Give them to me. I'll take them to them."
"That's fine!" Aunt An nodded. "While the sun is shining brightly, I'll go wash the three children's clothes now!"
Wang Cuilan stood there and watched Aunt An leave. She turned around with her things and prepared to go into the house. When she reached the door, she heard the argument between the mother and her son in the room.
"You and Wanwan are siblings, the closest people in the world. You should support each other. What's wrong with you helping her now?"
"Besides, Shengtian is not without ability..."
Xie Zheng interrupted Gu Pan, "Since he has the ability, let him fight for it on his own merits. You and Xie Wan just wait patiently. Your jumping around like this will only affect him."
Gu Pan choked, "But he is not inexperienced. I am worried that he can't compete with those veteran comrades..."
Xie Zheng comforted him, "Mom, you can rest assured. As far as I know, Director Yang, the leader of Huashengtian, has always valued personal ability and not seniority. In his eyes, as long as you have ability, you will definitely be given important positions. So, Mom, the things you are worried about are not there."
"As long as Hua Shengtian is capable, he will definitely be promoted this time. Otherwise, if he is incompetent, it will be useless even if I inform Director Yang!"
