"Xiao Chu, what's wrong with those two old men? Your Uncle Wu was distracted while we were eating."
Aunt Wu, who followed behind, asked as soon as she entered the courtyard.
"Auntie, it's nothing serious. It's just that what I said during our casual chat this morning might have touched your two uncles a bit."
Aunt Wu nodded and didn't ask any further questions. The old man would tell her what he could tell her later.
She clapped her hands: "Little stinky baby, come let Great-Grandma give you a hug."
"Milk……"
Hoho, that sound drew everyone's attention in the courtyard.
Wang Yueyue was the only one feeling resentful. Other children would call their mothers first, but her children were always addressed as grandfathers or grandmothers. She wondered when it would be her turn.
The two old men seemed to get more and more into their conversation, and even called over a few other elderly comrades, who had their lunch delivered to them.
They didn't come out until Li Chu and the others finished dinner and left.
"Li Chu, what kind of trouble have you given the old men this time? Look at the mess you've made of them." Sitting in the car, Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and then asked.
"What difficult problems could I possibly have? It's the older gentlemen who felt that some of their decisions seemed a bit off, so they called people over to discuss it. Besides, do you think they can solve my problems?"
That's true. The problems he encounters will only be medical in nature. If something can stump him, asking others would be pointless.
"Dad Chu, did Qiu Nan's mom tell you last night about a classmate asking me to teach English outside?"
"Okay, I've said it. Let me share my thoughts, and you can consider them. You'd better report this to the school and see what the leaders say. Don't let this affect your future job evaluation; our family isn't short of that money."
Also, did you write the application to join the organization that I asked you to write a while ago?
"It's already written. I'll bring it to you when I get back." Wang Yueyue stuck out her tongue. She had written the application a long time ago, but had forgotten about it at home.
"Okay, we'll sign the referral form for you."
"Dad Chu, are you saying that if I take on part-time jobs outside of school, it will affect my promotion evaluation?"
"Well, it's only a possibility. After all, you're on the job, and if someone keeps bringing it up when you're being evaluated for promotion, it could really have an impact."
After thinking for a moment, Li Chu continued, "Yueyue, actually, quite a few people have wanted to go abroad in recent years. Among these people, even more don't speak English. It's not just those who want to go abroad; it also includes high school students who have to take English in their college entrance exams."
If you really want to make money, opening a tutoring center specifically for English tutoring could indeed earn you a considerable amount. However, you'd definitely have to quit your school job for that.
"No way!" Wang Yueyue shook her head decisively as soon as she heard that.
"I prefer a job that's easy and has summer and winter vacations. I know about the one my classmate and her friend run. They're exhausted every day and have to go out and find students themselves. I'm not going to do that."
Li Chu shrugged; he knew this would be the answer.
This is actually because the family is not short of money and has a high social status, so the children don't think about how to make money; they think about how to enjoy life.
Just like that car, neither Yueyue, Wenhui, nor Shen Yi ever thought about the fact that driving requires refueling.
If you give an ordinary person a car, their first thought will definitely be whether they can sell the car and use the money to buy things their family needs, because they can't even afford gas. These flashy but impractical things don't help the family at all, and may even make their family's life more difficult because of their vanity.
By the time they got home, night had already fallen. Wang Jun, Li Qiaoyun, Li Qin, and Wang Ziwen were chatting in the front yard.
"Hey, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, your dog would have turned into a statue waiting for its husband. It's been sitting at the front door looking towards the road for the past two days," Wang Jun said, pointing to the dogs that had gathered around them as they entered.
“If Wenhui hadn’t come over to feed them, they wouldn’t have eaten what my sister and brother-in-law were feeding them.”
"It's alright. As long as they have water to drink, they won't starve to death in two days." Li Chu glanced at the little black dog surrounding his legs and gently kicked it.
“Jianjun came to see you again today. I asked him to page you, but he didn’t. He said there was nothing important and he would come another day.”
As they were talking, Wang Yueyue had already put the child on the back of the second-year junior high school student and made him hug the dog's neck.
Goodness, the eighth grader was so happy his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were practically invisible.
"Dog...dog..."
Now, the four women, along with Qiaoyun's cousin, all went to play with the child, leaving only Wang Jun, Wang Ziwen, and Li Chu. The three men simply went to the backyard.
"Hey, Li Chu, what does Jianjun want with you? Is it about the Fu family case?"
"How would I know? I didn't see anyone." Li Chu shook his head and went straight to the kitchen, where he put a kettle of water on the gas stove.
"Xiao Chu, I heard they arrested Old Fu's youngest son too, is that true?"
“That’s right, brother-in-law.”
This kind of thing can't be kept secret at all. When Jianjun and the others took Xiao Fu away, it was already the talk of the town within two days, with all sorts of versions circulating.
"Are you sure his youngest son was involved too?"
"I don't know. I know they're arresting people, but I don't know the specific reason. I guess they're suspects."
"What a terrible thing this is!"
Three grown men sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and casually chatting about current affairs, until Ding Qiunan came over carrying the sleeping baby.
"Xiao Chu, come here, I need to ask you something."
Li Qin, who was about to go back, had already reached the small door when she stopped and called out.
"What's wrong, sis?"
"What are your plans regarding the things I told you about that house where we kept them?"
"You mean those antiques?"
"Yes! I'm worried about being found out. There are so many people without houses now, it's not good for the house to just sit there empty, sooner or later someone will start complaining."
"I'll set aside some time in the next few days, let's go take a look together."
"Okay, please arrange a time as soon as possible. I can't delay any longer."
"Okay, sis."
"Okay, I'm going back."
"Dad, where's Mom?"
Just as Li Qin was heading back to her side through the small gate, Wen Hui and Shen Yi came over from the front yard.
"Inside the house, the little rascal just fell asleep, so she carried him inside."
"Dad, take a look at the questions on this paper and help me explain them."
