Especially when it’s time for dinner, Qian Dabao’s crying would always be heard on time.
At first, people just listened to the human rights talk in the family compound as a joke, but after a while, people got annoyed.
The factory director has already openly and secretly approached Qian Xingwang about this matter several times.
Perhaps out of consideration for Mr. Shen, the factory director did not go into details and mostly hinted at the issue.
As the saying goes: A fast horse needs no whip, and a loud drum needs no hammer...
No need to elaborate on this, Ming people!
Although Qian Xingwang is honest, he is not stupid. How could he not understand what the factory director means?
But Qian Dabao had been spoiled by his mother.
He didn't listen to any advice.
If things don't go his way, he'll either smash the bowl or break the plate.
All the dishes in the house were smashed to pieces by him.
Qian Xingwang looked at Qian Dabao who was rolling on the ground, then looked at Qian Xingsheng who was drinking his wine as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Xie Xiaofen poured a glass of wine and handed it to Qian Xingwang, "Xingwang, your eldest nephew is about to turn eight years old. It's not a good idea for him to stay at home every day. Your brother and I are new here and don't know anyone. As his uncle, you have to worry about Dabao's schooling."
"Yes! Xingwang, Daya, a little girl, has to go to school to learn to read, how can Dabao stay at home!" Qian Xingsheng also raised his head.
Dabao is the hope and root of their Qian family.
Those two girls will belong to other families sooner or later, so it's a waste of money to send them to school.
It's just that Qian Xingwang is a fool. If it were him, he would never spend this money in vain.
"Brother, I stay in the factory every day, how could I know anyone? Daya's school was arranged by grandfather." Qian Xingwang frowned tightly.
"Then you go find the old man!" Xie Xiaofen said as a matter of course.
"The old man is so capable, it's just a matter of a word for him to let Dabao go to school." Qian Xingsheng also echoed.
"Tomorrow is not Sunday, so why not... go tomorrow! Let's all go." Xie Xiaofen made the final decision.
There is love when we meet.
She didn't believe that the old man would remain indifferent when their whole family came to her for help.
Early the next morning.
A group of people came downstairs in a mighty procession.
The gossipy ladies who were chatting downstairs saw this scene and exchanged glances without saying a word.
"Hey! Zhimei, your family is so together, where are you going?" A middle-aged woman asked Shen Zhimei with a smile.
"The old man often talks about the children. Today is Sunday and we have nothing to do, so why not take the children to see the old man?" Xie Xiaofen spoke first.
"Are you talking about Mr. Shen?" A younger woman also came over.
"I heard that Mr. Shen and Mr. Chu live together!" someone else said.
"I heard that Mr. Zhao, who came back from the frontier, also moved there."
"I heard that, too."
“I’ve heard about this, too.”
Yes, there are quite a few people who are well-informed.
"Zhimei, I heard that Mr. Zhao and Secretary Sun adopted your younger sister as their granddaughter. Is this true or false?" The middle-aged woman looked gossipy.
The gossipy women nearby also pricked up their ears.
"Really!" Shen Zhimei forced a smile.
The obvious dark circles under her eyes, dry and frizzy hair, and pale lips made her look tired and haggard.
"Your little sister is so blessed! Not only do Mr. Shen and Mr. Chu love her, but now Mr. Zhao and Secretary Sun have acknowledged her as their granddaughter." The young woman said with envy.
It is a great honor to have one such capable elder in the family, but her younger sister has four of them.
"You guys chat, we'll leave first." Shen Zhimei tried hard to curl the corners of her lips.
She was not unaware of the discussions among the people in the courtyard, but...
"Go quickly! Don't let your old man wait anxiously." The middle-aged woman said with a smile.
The smile on Shen Zhimei's face could hardly be maintained.
As soon as the Qian family left the housing estate, the gossipy old ladies couldn't hold it in anymore.
"You see, Shen Zhimei has lost a lot of weight since her uncle and sister-in-law came."
"If you were to be used as a nanny by so many people, you would be thinner than her."
"She is also a fool. She is willing to give up a good regular job position."
"For ordinary people like us, the quota for formal employment may be a matter of life and death, but for Shen Zhimei, it may just be a drizzle."
"Yes! With Grandpa Shen around, isn't it easy for her to get a regular job? Besides, doesn't she have a younger sister? Look at what Daya and Erya are wearing, which one wasn't sent by her younger sister?!"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Although he is stupid, he is lucky!
…
When the Qian family arrived at the Su family's courtyard, Mr. Shen and Mr. Chu were teasing the little guy in the yard.
The two old people and the child were chatting about irrelevant family matters, which made Shen Zhihuan, who was sitting at the desk, couldn't help laughing.
The moment the Qian family appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Mr. Shen frowned slightly.
Some people's majesty doesn't even need words, just like Mr. Shen at this moment. Just standing there, the look in his eyes makes people feel awe and dare not look directly at him.
"Grandpa!" Shen Zhimei was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Shen Zhimei didn't have much time to spend alone with Old Man Shen. Even when everyone got together, she didn't dare to go up and talk to him.
She respects and fears this grandfather more than she loves him.
"Grandpa!" Daya and Erya also called out timidly.
"Grandpa!" Qian Xingwang, who was tense all over, was also very nervous.
Qian Xingsheng and his wife, who were noisy a few minutes ago, now acted like fighting cocks with their throats strangled. Apart from shaking, they could not make any sound.
Even Qian Dabao, who was used to being the boss at home, huddled behind Xie Xiaofen like a quail struck by plague, not daring to move.
Mr. Shen looked at the group of people coldly, neither responding nor letting anyone in.
Just looked at him coldly.
In the quiet courtyard, there was no other sound except the little guy's babbling.
Old Master Chu was not interested in the Qian family. He took the little guy from Old Master Shen and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
"Don't forget to help Guaiguai pee." Mr. Shen reminded.
Mr. Chu rolled his eyes at Mr. Shen in response.
He doesn't have Alzheimer's, so he doesn't need to be reminded.
"Don't go to places that are too remote." Mr. Shen was worried.
The little guy's flame is low, so it's best not to go to those corners if you can.
This time, Mr. Chu rolled his eyes to the sky.
He is not a fool!
"Be good, let's ignore that old man. Grandpa will take you for a walk to see the big river and the big trees."
"The wind is strong by the river!" Old Master Shen frowned.
"It's okay for me to take him to the park!" Old Man Chu carried the little guy and walked away without looking back.
Mr. Shen winked at the orderly guarding the door, signaling the two to follow and look after it. (End of this chapter)
