Zhuang Tunan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet! Let's talk about it when I've thought it through!"
Xiang Pengfei said, "If you're in a wheelchair looking for a job, it'll be very difficult to find one. After all, even a perfectly healthy person might not be hired, let alone someone in a wheelchair!"
Zhuang Xiaoting said, somewhat displeased, "Can my brother compare to those people? My brother has education, experience, and connections in design. Can others compare?"
Xiang Pengfei immediately realized that he had touched a nerve with Zhuang Xiaoting, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what my sister said is right. Brother Tu Nan is incomparable to others. This matter cannot be discussed in a short time. Let's talk about it when Brother Tu Nan's leg injury is better!"
Just then, Lin Dongzhe's voice came from outside the door, saying, "Xiaoting, I've finished washing the dishes. Shall we go back? So as not to disturb Big Brother's rest!"
Zhuang Xiaoting called out towards the door, "Hey! What did you eat today? You're so quick! You're usually so slow and indecisive, this is the first time I've seen you like this!"
Xiang Pengfei said with a smile, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and you two are still newlyweds! Of course, he has to behave well, otherwise he might kick you off the bed and you'd be sleeping on the floor!"
Zhuang Xiaoting rolled her eyes at Xiang Pengfei and said, "Xiang Pengfei, let me tell you, don't try to be clever with your words here. Once you marry Zhou Yuxiang, you'll know what's what. Yuxiang will make you kneel on a washboard!"
Xiang Pengfei made a face, then patted his chest and said, "Oh dear, I'm so scared!"
Zhuang Xiaoting then said to Zhuang Tunan, "Brother, I'll head back now! I won't disturb your rest!"
Zhuang Tunan nodded and said, "Okay, head back early! Be careful on the road!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Zhuang Xiaoting nodded, tidied up her things, and headed out the door to go home with Lin Dongzhe.
Lin Dongzhe was still tilting his head to look into the house when Zhuang Xiaoting asked him curiously, "What are you looking at? Let's go!"
Lin Dongzhe then spoke up, "Xiang Pengfei, let's go! Aren't you going back?"
Xiang Pengfei quickly stood up and walked to the door, saying to Lin Dongzhe, "You guys go back! Take the car and bring it to me tomorrow!"
Lin Dongzhe asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Do you have something good to show Tu Nan?"
"Get lost! Hurry up and leave, it's freezing cold, don't let my sister Xiaoting catch a cold. Isn't Zhennan sleeping here tonight? I'll keep him company!"
"oh!"
Lin Dongzhe immediately understood what was going on and said, "Okay, I'll be going then!"
"Drive slowly on the road, don't lose points for me, or you'll have to pay the fine!"
Don't worry! I'll bring it to you first thing tomorrow morning!
After seeing Lin Dongzhe off, Xiang Pengfei went to the next room and saw Zhuang Zhennan tidying up his little nest. He quickly said, "Good brother, make the bed soft so we can sleep together tonight!"
"ah!"
Zhuang Zhennan looked at Xiang Pengfei with some disbelief.
Xiang Pengfei smiled and said, "What's wrong? Can't I sleep here?"
Zhuang Zhennan said somewhat awkwardly, "How can two grown men sleep together, bro? Don't you think it's a bit awkward?"
Don't give me that!
Xiang Pengfei left him no room to maneuver, saying, "Let me tell you, Zhennan, Dongzhe, Tunan, and I were crammed into this place last year! You better not cause any trouble. Make your bed properly, and if you want to chat next door, go ahead. If you don't want to, go to sleep early, okay? I'll be back to sleep later!"
After speaking, Xiang Pengfei returned to the next room and sat down on Zhuang Tunan's bedside.
Zhuang Chaoying asked Pengfei, "What? Pengfei, you're really not going back?"
Xiang Pengfei said, "I'm not going back, Uncle. That brat Zhennan wants to mess with you guys, but I'm not going to let him!"
"Aren't you busy with business during the Chinese New Year?"
"Most of them are on holiday, only a small number are still on the road, and Yuxiang has arranged everything by herself!"
"So you're saying Zhou Yuxiang is quite good, capable of handling things on her own? When are you two getting married?"
"Isn't the company newly established? There are still some things we're not familiar with yet and we need to hone our skills. Also, Dongzhe mentioned at noon that I want to open a passenger transport route!"
"Weren't you originally a passenger transport company?"
"Yes! Didn't we sell the passenger line to run a transport line? I want to buy a longer one, from Suzhou to Guangzhou, so it will be convenient for Uncle Lin and Aunt Song to come back!"
"The idea is good, but you can't just think about our relatives. You also need to think about ways to make more money!"
"I know that, Uncle. Don't worry, I'm sure I can make a lot of money and I won't let you worry about me anymore!"
"Making money is important, but you must abide by the law, Pengfei. Let me remind you, never do anything illegal!"
"Okay, I understand, Uncle! By the way, don't just talk about me! Talk about my brother, Tu Nan's job!"
Zhuang Chaoying sighed and said, "Without legs, it will be hard for him to find a job. Big companies definitely won't hire him, and they won't hire him for manual labor either, since he's in a wheelchair and has difficulty moving around!"
"Uncle, it's alright. As long as my transport line is running, I'll support my cousin!"
"Fool, he's so young, he doesn't need you to support him. Let's talk about it after Tu Nan's leg heals!"
Zhuang Tunan couldn't stand it anymore and quickly said, "That's right, I only injured my leg, I'm not in a vegetative state, don't worry about it!"
As if suddenly remembering something, Xiang Pengfei said to Zhuang Chaoying, "By the way, Uncle, I heard that newsstands are really popular lately, there's one in almost every block. I noticed that there aren't any on our street yet. They just display People's Daily, local daily newspapers, and magazines like Story Club, Reader, and Youth Digest, which are especially popular with young people!"
Zhuang Chaoying listened to Xiang Pengfei's words and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, I know that some magazines are particularly popular among teenagers. Older people like to read newspapers, while teenagers like to read periodicals. If we set up a newsstand at the crossroads and sold some magazines, it would definitely be a good business!"
When Xiang Pengfei saw that his uncle agreed with his opinion, he smiled and said, "If you agree, I will bring the security booth at our gate tomorrow. It's going to be used as a newsstand for my cousin. Although we can't make money from the neighbors like Brother Zhang Yiming, I reckon the elderly and children will be there. Plus, we can put some comic books and student study materials on it. Hehe, just wait and see how much money my cousin makes!"
Zhuang Chaoying suddenly frowned and said, "Pengfei, what you said makes a good point. Who will supply goods to Tunan? We have to prepare the newspapers every day, and nobody wants the ones that are taken a day or two. What do we do with the ones that can't be sold?"
Xiang Pengfei laughed and said, "It's alright. I'll pay the people who do these things. I'll pay their wages. My brother can just wait to collect the money!"
Huang Ling, who hadn't spoken for a while, laughed and said, "You silly child, don't you still have me? If you don't let me work at the after-school care center anymore, I'll go collect and deliver newspapers for Tu Nan. It's just getting up earlier in the middle of the night, isn't it?"
Xiang Pengfei said with some reluctance, "Auntie, those nights of staying up all night must be unbearable!"
"What's the big deal? In our textile factory, we used to work through the night all the time. This just means we're getting up a little earlier, it's nothing!"
"Then shall we do it this way?"
"Sure, but we need to discuss it with Xiaoting and Dongzhe tomorrow and see what they think!"
Xiang Pengfei nodded and said, "Yes, that's the right thing to do, after all, it's not a small matter!"
As the three were chatting enthusiastically, they suddenly heard some noise from next door. Xiang Pengfei immediately shushed them, telling his uncle and aunt to be quiet.
As soon as the three of them stopped talking, they heard a strange noise from next door. Xiang Pengfei quickly went outside and saw a figure flash in the yard and then disappear. He went back into the house to check on Zhuang Zhennan, but he couldn't see him either. So he shouted, "Oh no, Uncle, Zhennan ran away!"
