But at the same time, she had made up her mind that people treated her out of kindness, but she should not skimp on what she should treat them.
When she came back for lunch at noon, An Hongdou learned from Shen Xiangzhi that Zhu Xinyi had been promoted because of this incident.
Of course, An Hongdou didn't know whether Shen Xiangzhi had anything to do with this, but it was obvious that the Zhu couple thought it was because of his relationship, otherwise they wouldn't be so enthusiastic.
In the afternoon, Shen Xiangzhi came back early, and when she got home, he was already playing in the yard with the children.
Several little ones are unable to walk steadily after leaving their walkers and are prone to falling when they get anxious.
Especially the cross path in the yard, which is paved with bricks, it is easy to get hurt if you are not careful.
An Hongdou asked him to make a railing that could be moved around at will, and surrounded the three of them in this corner. She also put a few toys in it, so they could only play around in this corner.
Zhao Xiaoyue came out of the kitchen and saw her and said with a smile: "Hongdou, Dabao's father said that you guys are not eating at home today, so I didn't cook for you."
An Hongdou nodded, "Brother Zhu next door is treating us and he insisted that we go over, so it's hard to refuse. You guys should just bring Changyue home to eat today."
Zhao Xiaoyue responded and went back to her own business.
Chen Xiangzhi also handed the task of looking after the child to Er Gouzi who was idle nearby, and he and An Hongdou went into the living room.
"By the way, should we bring some gifts? No matter why they invite us to dinner, we can't just go there empty-handed, right?" An Hongdou asked.
“It’s been prepared for a long time.” Shen Xiangzhi pointed to the two bottles of wine on the table and winked at her.
"It's getting late, let's go over there." An Hongdou said.
Shen Xiangzhi picked up the wine on the table and walked beside her naturally.
The two handsome men and beautiful women walking together look particularly pleasing to the eye.
The Zhu family had already prepared the food and were waiting for them to arrive.
Chen Xiangzhi handed over the wine in his hand and smiled politely, "Please trouble Brother Zhu and sister-in-law to prepare the dishes for this table. I happened to bring two bottles of wine. I will have a drink with Brother Zhu later."
Zhu Xinyi also prepared some wine, but after seeing the good wine in Chen Xiangzhi's hand, his eyes became obviously brighter.
However, I still have to say something polite, "Brother, you are too polite. You are here, why do you need to bring wine? I have prepared everything, how can I not need your wine?"
"It's just a little token of my appreciation. I hope you won't dislike it, brother." Shen Xiangzhi said politely.
Zhu Xinyi accepted it, "Okay, I'll accept it this time, but we have to make a promise that next time you come to my house, you can't bring anything."
Shen Xiangzhi smiled but didn’t say anything. After all, whether he would have the chance to come over in the future depended on how they got along in the future.
And this time, if Zhu Xinyi had not been promoted by accident, he would not have had the chance to come to the Zhu family.
Mrs. Zhu is not a talkative person, but she is still a nice person. An Hongdou is not very sociable either, so the two of them don’t talk much while sitting here.
Zhu Xinyi and Shen Xiangzhi were different. After they bumped into each other, they started chatting about everything and seemed very comfortable.
Unlike the calmness on their side, there were earth-shaking changes on Aunt Wang's side.
After being fired by An Hongdou, she successfully angered Director Li, and there was no other good job waiting for her.
In addition, Sun Caixiang gave birth to a son, so she stayed at home to take care of them. When she had time, she would use her tricycle to pull back some paper boxes and paste them together to supplement the family income as she did before.
Although she didn't earn much, with her son's salary and the money she saved from working in the first half of the year, it was barely enough for them to live on.
As usual, after Zhou Dazhuang came back from his sports car, he would take a day or two to rest at home and adjust himself.
But yesterday, he just came back in a hurry at noon, and didn't even take a look at his newly born son. He said he had something to do and went out again.
Aunt Wang and Sun Caixiang both thought that he might have gone out to meet up with some friends. After all, although they did not participate in Zhou Dazhuang's occasional purchase of goods from the factory to sell, they vaguely knew about it.
It was late at night and Zhou Dazhuang had not returned yet, and Sun Caixiang began to worry.
The house was not spacious. There was a curtain in the middle of the room. The couple lived on one side, and the mother-in-law Wang Yunxia lived on the other.
"Mom, Dazhuang hasn't come back yet. Do you want to go out and look for him?" Sun Caixiang didn't even turn around, but just raised her voice a little louder, and Aunt Wang heard her call.
Aunt Wang made paper boxes during the day and took care of her grandson at night. She was so sleepy that she didn't know what was going on. She just muttered in confusion, "What are you looking for? He's such a grown man, and we can't lose him. Just go to sleep. When he finishes his work outside, he will come back naturally."
Their family didn't know anyone, so naturally no one informed them that Zhou Dazhuang had been detained in the factory.
Sun Caixiang was worried, but since her mother-in-law said so, she thought it made sense. Plus, she was really sleepy because of the child's noise, so she closed her eyes too.
I slept until dawn.
I touched the place next to me, but there was no warmth at all.
Sun Caixiang was so shocked that she sat up all of a sudden, "Mom, is Dazhuang back?"
Aunt Wang opened her eyes dazedly, "Isn't he sleeping over there?"
"No one." Sun Caixiang said.
"He wouldn't have gone out again this morning, would he? I'll get up and take a look." Aunt Wang got up, put on her clothes, and walked outside.
Zhou Dazhuang was still being held in the factory, so naturally she couldn't find him.
After telling Sun Caixiang, Aunt Wang went straight to the factory and found out that her son not only stole the cloth from the factory, but also framed others and was caught on the spot taking the goods out of the factory. He couldn't make any excuses even if he wanted to.
At that moment, Aunt Wang felt dizzy and she almost couldn't hold on. Fortunately, the people in the factory were kind enough to send her home.
After knowing what happened to Zhou Dazhuang, Sun Caixiang was even more panicked than Aunt Wang.
After all, she had only been married for two years and her child had only been a month old when this happened to her man. What was she going to do with her life in the future?
Looking at her crying mother-in-law and then at her son who knew nothing in her arms, Sun Caixiang was silent at that moment.
When Aunt Wang looked up, she saw her daughter-in-law with such an expressionless face.
At that moment, she felt really cold and uncomfortable.
