Zhou Shuhuan took a deep puff of his cigarette before continuing, "I'd rather not get involved. You can ask Taozi and the others."

Pei Yang sighed, "Among us brothers, you are the only one who understands electronics and has technical skills. I thought that if we work together, we will definitely be able to accomplish something."

Seeing Zhou Shuhuan smoking silently, Pei Yang didn't say anything more. He patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. Everyone has their own aspirations and their own way of living. Starting a business has risks, so it's normal for you to have concerns."

Zhou Shuhuan put out his cigarette on the railing and exhaled the smoke from his lungs. "Brother Yang, I plan to go to the south to try my luck."

Although he was surprised by Zhou Shuhuan's idea of ​​going south, Pei Yang immediately gave him encouragement and support.

"Have you figured out what to do there?"

"Let's go and take a look first. We may not be able to do anything."

Zhou Shuhuan turned and looked at him, with a determination in his eyes that was unfamiliar to Pei Yang.

Among the brothers who grew up together, Zhou Shuhuan was the most introverted and dull one. To put it bluntly, he was inferior, cowardly, and had no opinion.

He always keeps his head down and doesn't look people in the eye. Even if his eyes meet people's, there is darkness and confusion in his eyes.

But today, Zhou Shuhuan dared to look him in the eye, with clear eyes and a cheerful tone, as if he had unloaded a burden.

"Brother Yang, I have always envied you. We are of the same age and grew up together, but you have much more experience than me. You have been to more places and have seen more."

"I often think that if we were a species of bird, you would be an eagle and I would be a pheasant. You can roam freely in the vast sea and sky, but I can only stay in a corner of a desolate mountain."

"I also want to go out and see what the outside world is like."

Zhou Shuhuan had been holding these words in his heart for too long.

Today he could finally say it out, and he felt so refreshed and his blood seemed to be boiling.

"Go ahead. Life is neither long nor short. Do whatever you want to do boldly. Don't wait until you are old to regret it."

"That's what I thought."

"The date of departure has been set. Let me know in advance and I will bring my brothers to help you."

"good."

Looking at Pei Yang's leaving back, Zhou Shuhuan did not move for a long time.

He may not be unaware that with Pei Yang's ability and skills, he can definitely accomplish something.

All he had to do was follow behind and he could easily get a piece of the pie.

But he didn't want this kind of success.

He had been shrouded in Pei Yang's halo for too long, like a plant that grew in the shade all year round and never saw the sun, rotting and withering.

He also wants to live under the sunshine, be baptized by wind and rain, and grow into a towering tree.

He wants to make his own achievements and prove that he is no worse than anyone else.

…

Although there were not as many guests in the evening as at noon, there were still five or six tables, all of whom were relatives and friends of the two families, and the dishes were mainly light and healthy.

After dinner, Pei Yang and Chen Yi drove to take some relatives who lived far away back home.

Zhao Dafa also drove his newly bought Santana to help see the guests off.

Shen Mingzhu collected the unused wine, cigarettes, candies and other items from the banquet, divided them into small portions, and gave one portion each to the relatives of the Pei and Shen families.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and these things will come in handy during the New Year. They can be considered as a token of her love.

The relatives left soon, and the only people left in the huge hotel hall were the waiters cleaning up the leftovers, and the families of Shen Mingzhu, Pei Wenping and Zhou Hui.

Six children were playing hide-and-seek under the table, while the adults were sitting around it, chatting while waiting for the men to drive back and pick them up.

While they were talking about the children's academic performance, Shen Hongmei lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Pearl."

Seeing Shen Hongmei coming back, Shen Mingzhu probably guessed something, got up and went to the corner to talk to her.

"Mingzhu, I'm sorry that my mom caused you trouble today. From now on, no matter what my mom says, just ignore it and don't worry about my face. Just do what you have to do."

Yu Jin'e has already learned her lesson, and as far as Shen Mingzhu is concerned, the matter is over.

"Hongmei, it's understandable that Aunt Jin'e is worried about you. After all, you're not a child anymore. I also hope that you can find a man who understands you and start your own family."

Shen Hongmei said: "I don't want to get married. I am fine the way I am now."

Shen Mingzhu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Just because you are living well now doesn't mean that you will live worse after marriage. Don't easily define the unknown future."

"I'll keep an eye out for anyone who's right for you. You should also be careful. If there's a boy you like, tell me and I'll help you screen him."

Seeing Shen Hongmei's reluctant expression, Shen Mingzhu said, "If it really doesn't work, you can just kill the father and keep the son. A woman can live without a man, but she must have a child of her own."

Shen Hongmei was stunned.

…

Zhou family.

"I want to play too."

"I won't give it to you."

"Give me."

"No, no, no!"

Such noise happens every day.

In the past, Zhou Shuhuan never cared, but today he stood up and walked up to the two brothers.

"Give the mantis to my brother."

Although Zhou Shuhuan appears to be gentle outside, he still has a certain amount of authority at home, especially in front of his two children.

Zhou Hao reluctantly threw the bamboo dragonfly on the ground.

Zhou Fu picked it up and played with it happily.

Zhou Shuhuan patted his eldest son's head and said, "You are the older brother, so give in to your younger brother a little more in the future."

After the Spring Festival, Zhou Hao will be 9 years old and start to know things.

He vaguely sensed something from Zhou Shuhuan's expression and tone, and the indignation on his face turned into confusion and puzzlement.

"Take your brother back to his room to play."

"oh."

Zhou Hao responded and kicked Zhou Fu on the butt, "Let's go to the room."

Zhou Fu was obedient and followed Zhou Hao to the room.

"Xiao Hao, don't bully your brother."

Shen Baolan shouted worriedly.

She was quite happy when Zhou Shuhuan spoke to her son before, but when she saw Zhou Hao kicking her son's butt, she felt a little unhappy. Because her parents-in-law and husband were there, she couldn't scold her stepson and could only remind him tactfully.

"Dad, Mom, I plan to quit my job after this year."

What? Quit your job?

Zhou Shuhuan said it lightly, but to the elderly couple Ma Sufen and Shen Baolan, the power was no less than that of an atomic bomb.

Both old people are retired, and the family relies on the young couple to earn money to support it.

Although Shen Baolan could earn a lot of money selling snacks, her job was not as stable and reliable as Zhou Shuhuan's.

Zhou Shuhuan is now the pillar of the family. If he loses his job, the family will be ruined.

"No, I don't agree!"

Shen Baolan was the first to jump up and object.

It was rare for Ma Sufen to be on the same front with her.

Zhou Quanxiong was still rational and didn't rush to express his opinion. "Why did you quit your job?"

"I'm going to the South."

"Why go to the South for no reason?"

"Business."

"no!"

This time it was Ma Sufen who jumped up to oppose. (End of this chapter)
