When Zhou's father and mother heard this, they immediately felt reluctant to leave, "You're leaving so soon?"

Gu Xiangxue explained to them, "Those who are qualified for the recruitment must report within three days, and no later than seven days. Otherwise, it will be regarded as giving up the recruitment quota."

"I've asked my third brother to help me find a house. I'll be back in two days. I also need to settle A-Lian and the children. Time is indeed a bit tight."

"Dad, Mom, when we're settled, if you can leave, you can come to Yangcheng to see us, or we can come back to see you when we have a long vacation."

Father Zhou sighed softly, "Alas, your work is more important. When you are free during the New Year or other holidays, come back together."

Gu Xiangxue made a promise, "Dad, as long as I have time off, I will definitely bring A-Lian and the others back to see you."

Two days passed quickly.

No matter how reluctant they were, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou could only wipe away their tears and send the family of four to the car.

When some people in the village found out that Gu Xiangxue not only did not abandon Zhou Lian and the two children, but also brought them to live in the city, many of them were envious.

For rural people of this era, being able to work and live in the city is like a step to heaven. It is such an honor and face-saving thing! Some sour people were so jealous that they started to criticize Zhou's father and mother.

"Oh, Old Zhou, you only have this one daughter, and now she's following your son-in-law into the city. What are you two going to do in the future? Who will take care of you in your old age?"

"That's right. If it were you, I'd say we shouldn't let them enter the city. Let them stay by your side and take care of you."

After hearing this, Father Zhou smiled calmly and said, "We are still young now, we will talk about the future later."

After hearing this, Mother Zhou also smiled and said to them calmly, "Oh, you don't know how good my son-in-law is. When he came back to the city, he took my daughter A-Lian and the children to live with him. He said that when they have a good life, he will let us move to the city and live with them."

When those sour-minded people heard what Zhou's mother said, they became even more angry and sneered, "Let you go to the city too? Will your in-laws be happy with that? I don't think so. Don't try to be so arrogant!"

Mother Zhou smiled gently. "Whether it is true or not, we will know later. Oh, we have something else to do. We have to leave first."

Looking at the brisk backs of Zhou's father and mother, those sour people felt so sour that they almost drowned themselves.

Similar things that happened to Gu Xiangxue and the Zhou family were also happening to countless men and women who passed the Junlin Group's recruitment exam.

Gu Xiangxue took Zhou Lian and their two children and took a five or six-hour train ride, finally returning to Guangzhou.

Gu Xiangxue knew the situation at his home and knew that there was no place for their family of four to live.

As soon as he got off the train, he found a telephone booth and called his third brother Gu Xiangwen.

"Third brother, I'm Xiang Xue. I've returned to Yangcheng Railway Station with Zhou Lian and the children. Where are you now? Have you found the house I troubled you to look for before?"

When Gu Xiangwen heard that he had returned with his wife and children so soon, he immediately replied to him, "I have found a house. It is right next to our Yucheng office. Why didn't you call me in advance when you came back today? I could borrow the company's car to pick you up."

When Gu Xiangxue heard his third brother say that he had found a house, he felt relieved.

He smiled and replied, "This is a private matter for us, so we can't trouble you to borrow the company's car. Third brother, I'll take A-Lian and the kids over there right now, please wait for us!"

Gu Xiangwen laughed unhappily when he heard his fourth brother's polite words, "Alright, do you still need to be so polite to your third brother? Just take a tricycle to the Yucheng office, and your third brother will reimburse you for the fare."

Gu Xiangxue smiled and replied, "No, no, Third Brother, your Fourth Brother still has this little money."

"Thank you, Third Brother. That's it for now. See you later!"

"See you later!"

Gu Xiangxue hung up the phone, hailed an electric tricycle on the side of the road, and drove towards the Yucheng office of Junlin Group with his family of four.

When the electric tricycle stopped at the Yucheng office of Junlin Group, before Gu Xiangxue got off the car, he saw his third brother Gu Xiangwen waiting at the gate.

Gu Xiangxue shouted happily, "Third Brother!"

When Gu Xiangwen heard his fourth brother's shout, he immediately waved at him and came over with a smile, "Fourth brother, you're back!"

Gu Xiangxue got off the car first, took Zhou Lian and the two children out, and then gave the fare to the driver.

Zhou Lian and the two children looked at Gu Xiangwen, who was dressed respectably, and felt a little reserved and embarrassed.

Gu Xiangwen smiled at them gently and asked Gu Xiangxue, "Old Four, this is your sister-in-law and the two children, right?"

Gu Xiangxue quickly introduced them to him, "Third brother, this is my wife Zhou Lian, this is our eldest daughter Gu Yuanyuan, and our youngest son Gu Pengfei."

After introducing him to Gu Xiangwen, he immediately said to Zhou Lian and the two children, "Wife, this is my third brother, call him Third Brother. Yuanyuan, Xiaofei, call him Third Uncle."

Zhou Lian smiled shyly at Gu Xiangwen and called out softly, "Third Brother."

Gu Yuanyuan and Gu Pengfei, brother and sister, also called out, "Third Uncle."

Gu Xiangwen quickly took out the candies he had prepared and stuffed them between the siblings, "Good kids, so good! Come, have some candy."

The two children's eyes lit up when they saw the candy, but they didn't dare to reach out to take it directly. Instead, they looked at their father.

Gu Xiangxue touched the two children's heads and said gently, "Since it was given to you by Third Uncle, just take it and thank Third Uncle."

The two children hurriedly said to Gu Xiangwen: "Thank you, Third Uncle."

“So good!”

After Gu Xiangwen finished praising the child, he said to Gu Xiangxue and Zhou Lian, "Fourth brother, A Lian, I will take you back to the rental house first. After you put your things down, I will take you out for dinner."

Gu Xiangxue quickly shook his head, "Third brother, no need, we can just eat something at home."

Zhou Lian also smiled and said, "Yes, Third Brother, I brought some bacon and fish from home, so you can cook for yourself."

Gu Xiangwen smiled and replied to them, "You have been sitting in the car for a whole day, you must be tired. Listen to me, let's go out to eat today, and you can treat me to bacon and fish another day. It's a deal."

Gu Xiangxue knew that this was Third Brother's good intention, so he didn't argue anymore and replied with a smile: "Okay, we'll listen to Third Brother."
