While they were talking, Zhou's father and mother came back with Chenchen and An'an.
After they came back, they were very happy to hear that Zhou Zhengting was going to be promoted to team leader.
Originally, Zhou Zhengting could imagine his mother's joy.
But I couldn't help but feel surprised to see my father so happy.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, every progress I made was rewarded with his encouragement.
Could it be because of age?
Or is it because his personality changed after becoming a grandfather?
Not only that, when relatives called to wish him a happy new year, he would "unknowingly" spread the news.
Zhou Zhengting was busy entertaining customers and clearing tables.
I originally wanted to stop him, but seeing how happy he was, I just let him go.
Jiang Qingyue cooked today's lunch, and Zhou's mother and Zhou Huiqin helped.
It was the first time for the second branch of the Zhou family to eat food cooked by Jiang Qingyue. They didn’t expect that she, with her delicate hands, could actually cook.
And the taste is amazing.
Just as everyone was drinking the white wine collected by Zhou's father and praising Jiang Qingyue's cooking skills.
There was suddenly a knock on the door outside the Zhou family's yard.
Everyone couldn't help but feel confused.
It's already past twelve o'clock. Isn't it too late to come and pay New Year's greetings?
Zhou Zhengting stood up after hearing the knock on the door. "Eat it while it's hot. I'll go out and take a look."
Zhou Zhengting walked quickly to the gate and as soon as he opened it, he saw his uncle and his family standing outside.
Instinctively he asked in surprise, "Uncle? Aunt?"
When they saw Zhou Zhengting blocking the door, they smiled and said, "We are here to wish the second brother a happy new year."
Zhou Zhengting thought that it was too unreasonable for the eldest brother to come over to wish the second brother a happy new year first.
Although he was confused, he quickly came to his senses and smiled, "Please come in."
The people in the room heard the footsteps coming outside and couldn't help shouting, "Zhengting, who's here?"
As soon as the words fell, the eldest aunt laughed heartily and said, "It's me! Oh, the third brother's family is here too!"
"We didn't know you guys would be coming today. If you had known earlier, you should have told us so that we could have come together to have some fun!"
The second brother laughed and said, "Aren't you here too? It's not too late, we just had dinner."
While talking with a smile, the aunt asked her son and daughter-in-law to put down everything.
Then he smiled and said, "Then we won't be polite. This table of dishes is well cooked."
Although Zhou's mother didn't like her, she still came to visit her in person to wish her a happy new year.
It’s hard to say anything.
He took Jiang Qingyue with him to get new bowls and chopsticks, and added two quick dishes.
When I sat down again, I heard my uncle and aunt laughing, "By the way, I just heard from others that Zheng Ting is going to be promoted to group leader?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood.
It turned out that what Mr. Zhou had said on the phone just now was known by the eldest brother’s family.
That's why I took the initiative to come over and wish you a happy new year.
Fortunately they reacted so quickly.
Mr. Zhou laughed and said, "Yes, he is indeed going to be promoted to group leader."
The uncle smacked his lips and said, "Yes, Zhengting is a good kid with a promising future. I have always felt that he could be successful since he was young."
Zhou Huiqin interrupted and said, "Why have I never heard uncle say this?"
As soon as Zhou Huiqin finished speaking, her parents rolled their eyes at her and told her not to talk too much.
The aunt pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly and smiled, "It's okay, they are all children. Huiqin has been outspoken and likes to joke since she was a child."
Zhou Huiqin saw that her aunt, who was usually unwilling to suffer any loss, actually took the initiative to speak for others today.
I couldn't help feeling surprised.
So he asked tentatively, "Why did Auntie come here first today?"
My aunt smiled and said, "It's Chinese New Year now, shouldn't we visit each other and wish each other a happy new year? You too, why don't you go to my aunt's house?"
Zhou Huiqin laughed and said, "Aren't you worried that having too many guests at your house would be inconvenient? So I came to Second Uncle's house first. Aunt Eldest must have something to do, right?"
Seeing that Zhou Huiqin kept asking, the aunt-in-law no longer hid the truth.
Then he smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that your sister-in-law doesn't have a formal job yet, and it's boring to stay at home. We are thinking of finding her an easy job in Beijing after the New Year."
As he was talking, he turned the topic to Zhou Zhengting, "Zhengting has been promoted to the head of the group this time, so he must have a lot of power in his hands. Please help me after the New Year. Your sister-in-law doesn't ask for much either, just a relaxing office job will do."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present, except the second family, looked at each other in bewilderment.
I was just wondering why he suddenly came to wish the chicken a happy new year. It turns out that the weasel is wishing the chicken a happy new year. . .
Zhou Zhengting paused for a moment, then responded with a smile, "Auntie, you are joking. Not to mention that I haven't officially taken office yet, even if I have, how can I use my power for personal gain to arrange jobs for my relatives?"
The eldest aunt curled her lips and snorted at the eldest uncle, "What did I tell you? When your son was looking for a job, he wanted your second brother to help, but he refused."
"Now that Zheng Ting has finally been promoted, we want to curry favor with him to help us, but he still doesn't agree."
Hearing this, my uncle's expression changed slightly.
Then he said to Zhou Zhengting, "It's not a big deal. They are all our relatives. Just be flexible. You are such a flexible kid. We will definitely be able to arrange it."
Zhou Zhengting shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Uncle, you really don't need to praise me. This matter really cannot be arranged. Even if I can arrange it, the work location must be in South Island. Is it possible that my sister-in-law is willing to go to South Island alone?"
When the daughter-in-law of the eldest family heard this, she was stunned and shook her head, saying, "South Island is too far away. I definitely won't go there."
Zhou Zhengting shrugged, "It's not that I can't do it, but my sister-in-law doesn't want to go either."
The eldest aunt curled her lips and said, "Nan Dao is not a good choice. It's too far away. My family and children are all in Beijing. Can't you use your connections in Beijing to arrange one for me?"
Seeing that she was not giving in, she kept insisting.
Zhou Zhengting also gradually lost his patience. "If Auntie came here today specifically for this matter, then I'm sorry to disappoint you. I really don't have the ability to do this. Otherwise, you can find someone else!"
The eldest family's faces changed when they saw Zhou Zhengting being so ruthless.
"Forget it, if they won't do it, we won't stay here and be an eyesore. Let's go!"
After hearing this, Zhou's father and mother looked at each other and did not intend to keep him.
Father Zhou snorted coldly, "Go slowly."
Mother Zhou quickly pointed to the things that the others had brought to the wall and said, "Take them away! We are not used to eating this."
"Take it if you want."
After saying that, several people left with their things in a menacing manner.
After a few people left, the remaining people looked at each other, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
