Xiang Liwei was very obedient and took out the tightly wrapped admission letter from his pocket.
He valued this notice more than his life, and was afraid of losing it, so he wrapped it in two layers of cloth and reinforced it with thin wooden boards.
It felt a bit heavy when he took it out, but Xiang Hongqi didn't laugh at him for being too cautious. Instead, he thought it was the right way.
A job is the foundation for making a living, so you should treat it well. You can't use it as a stepping stone to get close to men like Xiang Yaoyao did.
He carefully read the notice, confirmed the information was correct, and then relaxed. "Li Wei is really good. So where are you going to live?"
Don't blame him for so many attempts. If you want to blame someone, blame Xiang Yaoyao for overdrawing the trust of everyone in his hometown.
What if he says he passed the exam, but actually he came to my house to take the exam, or even wanted Xiang Hongqi to help him find connections to get in, wouldn't that be the end of him?
He knew that his family no longer had any affection for the people from his hometown, and the closed door at this moment was a manifestation of their attitude.
Xiang Liwei was unaware of his uncle's suspicions and answered honestly, "The school only assigns dormitories to students who want to get married. We singles rent houses outside."
Housing in school is also very tight, and this is basically the rule.
He nodded to Hongqi. He really couldn't be polite and asked directly, "Where are you going to live? You have to go to work tomorrow."
The notice stated the time for admission and start of work, and Xiang Hongqi saw that it was tomorrow's start date.
Housing is a big problem because apart from work, we spend the most time at home resting. If we live together, there will definitely be big problems.
Even though Xiang Mianmian has gone on a business trip and Xiang Lili is getting married at the end of the year, it is impossible for Xiang Liwei to live in the house.
Xiang Liwei looked at his parents, then at his second uncle: "I'm staying at the guesthouse today. I'll go see where I can rent a house later."
No matter how honest and simple-minded he was, he could see that his second uncle was not very welcoming to him.
The young man had his own pride and of course would not think of taking advantage of his second uncle. It was his parents who insisted on paving the way for him, saying that this was proper etiquette.
He felt that he was in good health and could get what he wanted on his own without relying on others.
Xiang Hongqi was relieved to see that he was very measured. "Okay, I'll take you there to rent a house. I happen to know a worker who wants to rent it out, so I can get you a lower price."
As long as you don't think about coming to his house and don't be so unrealistic as to think about getting registered in his household, just help him if you can.
It just so happened that a few days ago, his co-worker said that he had a house that needed to be rented out. Xiang Hongqi had not severed his relationship with his younger brother, so it was still okay for him to provide some convenience.
But he spoke in a low voice, obviously afraid that Zhang Jidi would hear him and say something about him.
What if someone like Yaoyao comes along and ruins our family’s reputation?
Xiang Tiezhu was not ignorant of the ways of the world. He was very happy that his second brother was willing to help his son: "Thank you, second brother. It's really troublesome for you."
He shook Xiang Hongqi's hand with a face full of gratitude.
Xiang Hongqi didn't want to say anything empty. He just said to the sacks, "Take all these things back with you. Your family is in financial difficulty too. You still have two children to support."
When his eldest brother died, he went back to attend the funeral and found out that Xiang Tiezhu had four children.
The eldest daughter Xiang Juanjuan is already married, the third daughter Xiang Miaomiao and the youngest son Xiang Lizheng are still young, and the whole family relies on the meager harvest that Xiang Tiezhu and his wife make from the fields.
Even so, he still insisted on sending all his children to school, and he really spent every penny carefully.
To be honest, Xiang Hongqi is not short of these foods at the moment. If it were during those difficult three years, he would have accepted them even at the cost of his face.
But it's too late now, and the brothers have become familiar strangers after all.
The most he could do was to help find a house. It was impossible for him to have the same close relationship between uncle and nephew as in other families.
I can’t even take care of six kids at home, so how can I have time to take care of other people’s children?
Xiang Tiezhu said righteously, "It's my fault that Second Brother hasn't interacted with your family for many years. This is a gift I gave you specifically. How can you take it back? Isn't that a slap in my face?"
Old Mrs. Xiang controlled all the alimony and never let go of her beloved youngest son Xiang Tiezhu.
These were equivalent to apologies. Even though Xiang Hongqi had signed a letter of severance with his family, it was indeed embarrassing for him, as a younger brother, to only give gifts when he had something to ask for.
Over the years, he also wanted to interact with Xiang Hongqi, but he had no choice as the burden of supporting the family fell on him.
Xiang Hongqi tried to persuade him again, but Xiang Tiezhu was determined and finally left the apology.
The four of them chatted about some family matters, and after getting to know each other, they hurried to the vicinity of the steel plant to rent a house from Xiang Hongqi's co-workers before it got dark.
After they left Xiang's house, Zhang Jidi and Xiang Lili heard that there was no one outside the house, so they came out.
Xiang Lili couldn't hide anything in her heart. After coming out, she immediately stamped her feet and angrily said, "Dad, why is he like this? Doesn't he remember what Xiang Yaoyao did to our youngest sister?!"
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
Even though Xiang Yaoyao was not in the county town, she still hated this woman deeply.
Zhang Jidi, who came out to prepare dinner, didn't say a word. She looked at the sack in the corner. How could she not know what Xiang Hongqi, her partner, was thinking?
