At lunchtime, Feng Haidong and his brother-in-law Lu Yaobin cooked a sumptuous meal for everyone.
The whole family was having lunch together around the table. As Feng Haidong looked at everyone sitting around the table, he couldn't help but think of his wife again.
However, despite his longing for his wife, Feng Haidong did not disrupt the family's joy as his three brothers-in-law took turns toasting him.
After lunch, Chen Cuiping and Lu Wanhong were responsible for clearing the table and washing the dishes.
My son and niece were playing together in my sister-in-law's room.
Feng Haidong's parents-in-law invited him and his three younger brothers to their courtyard for a chat.
Lin Guojin's gaze swept over his three sons and sons-in-law, finally settling on his youngest son, Lu Feng.
As a mother, Lin Guojin was somewhat dissatisfied with her youngest son's behavior during this period.
Now, whether it's the eldest daughter, the two sons, or even the youngest daughter, they all have stable careers.
The only exception was his youngest son, Lu Feng, who failed to get into university. He attended a technical school but only sporadically, and now he works as an apprentice in the appliance repair department of a shopping mall.
Although Lu Feng was quite clever and had learned some skills from the master craftsman, this couldn't go on forever.
In addition, there was his girlfriend Gu Lin. After observing her during the National Day holiday, Lin Guojin was not satisfied with Gu Lin.
Today, since his eldest son-in-law and two sons are both here, Lin Guojin felt he should talk to his youngest son.
Thinking of this, Lin Guojin said to his youngest son, "Xiao Wu, you've been working at the appliance repair shop in the mall for a while now. What are your plans for the future?"
Lu Feng was taken aback when he heard this, then looked up at his parents.
For a moment, Lu Feng seemed unsure how to answer his mother's question.
Seeing his youngest son like this, Lin Guojin felt even more disappointed.
However, as a former teacher, Lin Guojin did not show this in front of his youngest son.
Lin Guojin calmly asked, "Xiao Wu, are you and Gu Lin planning to get married?"
This time, Lu Feng reacted very quickly: "Yes, of course we plan to get married, but Gu Lin said that her family hopes I can make a name for myself before we get married."
Feng Haidong listened quietly. He understood that his mother-in-law wanted to take this opportunity to teach her brother-in-law a lesson, so he didn't intend to say anything.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yaorong couldn't help but say, "Your current job in the appliance repair department of the mall is quite good. You should be able to become a full-time employee of the mall after a few more months, right?"
Lu Feng said, "Yes, I should be able to get a permanent position by the end of the year."
Lu Yaorong said, "Isn't that great? Just do your job well. Gu Lin's family hopes you can have a career."
Lu Feng fell silent again when faced with his elder brother's question.
At this moment, Lu Yaobin said, "Xiao Wu, if you think that repairman in the mall is no good, then come to my company and learn some design and photography first, or you can learn construction with Brother Tang, and you and Brother Tang will be in charge of that area together in the future."
Upon hearing his second brother's words, Lu Feng's eyes lit up instantly, clearly showing that he was more interested in his second brother's suggestion.
Lu Yaorong frowned and said, "Third brother, don't try to seduce him like this. Isn't it good that he got a permanent position in the department store? It's a state-owned department store, at least it's a legitimate job."
Lu Yaobin immediately said, "What's the point of formal or informal jobs these days? How much can a repairman in a state-owned department store earn in a month? Xiao Wu is still so young. Are you going to let him just drift along in the department store like those old guys? Why don't you come to my place and learn something new? That way you'll have other options in the future."
Lu Yaorong said, "Your company is still in its early stages. If you send Xiao Wu there, will the others in your company be convinced? Besides, Xiao Wu is different from you. You're used to working outside. Can Xiao Wu work the same way as you?"
Hearing his elder brother say this, Lu Yaobin was immediately very dissatisfied: "What do you mean by 'mixing things up'? My company is a legitimate advertising company. We make signs and advertisements for my elder sister's liquor market, and now we are cooperating with several wineries to help them with advertising and promotion. These are all legitimate businesses."
After a slight pause, Lu Yaobin couldn't help but say, "It's better than you spending all your time trading stocks and getting involved in those intangible and invisible things."
Lu Yaorong instantly lost his temper; his brother's words had deeply stung him.
"How is stock trading improper? The stock market is a place for normal investment. Do you even know what investment is?"
The elderly couple felt extremely helpless seeing their eldest and second sons arguing.
Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law looked unwell, Feng Haidong quickly spoke up to stop his two brothers-in-law from arguing.
"Yaorong, Lao San, you two stop arguing. Don't you know what time it is? Is this the time for you to fight? Your parents want us to ask Xiao Wu what he thinks and then see if we can find a better way out for him, not to watch you two argue."
As soon as Feng Haidong spoke, the two brothers immediately stopped arguing.
Through the argument between his two brothers-in-law, Feng Haidong was able to see their different ideas.
Lu Yaorong may seem to be someone who trades stocks and keeps up with the times, but he still hopes that his younger brother will honestly work for a state-owned enterprise.
Because of his company's success, Lu Yaobin naturally had no interest in joining a state-owned enterprise. Instead, he hoped that his younger brother could do the job he wanted, instead of staying in a state-owned enterprise, and go out to see more of the world so that he could keep up with the times.
Seeing her two sons arguing, and then looking at her younger son who remained silent, Lin Guojin felt somewhat disappointed.
