Zhu Zhigang wanted to say something, but Luo Aixiang noticed that her sister's face looked strange and she winked at Zhu Zhigang.
Zhu Zhigang understood immediately, stopped talking, and took out a book from his army green schoolbag to read.
Jiang Chunlin played with his daughter for a while and then gave her to He Xiuyun.
But Doudou refused. She stared at Jiang Chunlin with her big watery eyes and opened her little hands to ask for a hug.
Jiang Chunlin felt so soft-hearted that he simply held Doudou on his lap and read a book.
Doudou began to feel restless and started to look around, twisting his little body.
"Doudou, be good. Mommy, daddy, uncles and aunts are studying. Be good and don't move around." Shen Qinghe touched her daughter's little head and said softly.
Doudou seemed to understand. He sat on his father's lap and stopped moving. He just looked around with his big eyes. He was so cute.
Seeing that her precious granddaughter had stopped making noise, He Xiuyun went to the kitchen to cook.
Shen Qinghe followed into the kitchen, "Mom!"
"Qinghe, whatever you want to eat, mom will make it for you." He Xiuyun tied the apron around her waist and said with a smile.
Shen Qinghe fulfilled her dream of having a granddaughter. Now the way she looks at Shen Qinghe is as curious as if she were looking at a giant panda.
I lowered my eyes and stole a glance at her belly, wondering when the next baby granddaughter would come.
Shen Qinghe coughed and said, "Call your elder brother and sister-in-law over later. I have something to say to you tonight. Let's have a family meeting."
He Xiuyun was startled, guessing that it might be related to Shen Qinghe's college admission, and nodded, "I'll go call the eldest couple in a while."
When it was almost time for dinner, Luo Aixiang touched Luo Ailan's feet under the table. The two looked at each other and stood up.
"Qinghe, Brother Chunlin, we have something to do and we'll leave first. We'll come back tomorrow."
Seeing this, Zhu Zhigang also stood up with great tact.
Under normal circumstances, Shen Qinghe would definitely invite them to stay for dinner, but today she had something else to do so she did not try to keep them and sent them out.
"Aixiang, Sister Ailan." Zhu Zhigang automatically followed Luo Aixiang and called Luo Ailan Sister, and said excitedly, "Today is a good day, we have to celebrate, I will treat you to dinner at the state-owned restaurant."
Luo Ailan was in no mood and was about to refuse, but Luo Aixiang took her arm and said, "Sister, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to eat the braised pork at the state-owned restaurant? Let's go eat it now."
Luo Ailan nodded hesitantly and followed them to the state-owned restaurant.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Tang Hao holding a wine bottle and blowing into his mouth.
"Tang Hao is great. He actually drinks without a cup. I'm so happy." Zhu Zhigang said with a smile.
Luo Aixiang glanced at the stupid Zhu Zhigang. Was she happy to be able to drink like this?
I couldn’t help but wonder, how could someone this dumb make it to university?
"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't go in. You guys eat." Luo Ailan said with red eyes, then turned and ran away.
"Why did Sister Ailan leave?" Zhu Zhigang asked puzzledly.
Luo Aixiang said unhappily, "You were so stupid that you left."
Zhu Zhigang, "..."
Luo Aixiang and Zhu Zhigang walked into the state-owned restaurant. As soon as they approached Tang Hao, they smelled alcohol on him.
"Tang Hao, you are so mean. You came here to celebrate alone without even calling us." Zhu Zhigang sat down next to Tang Hao and pinched a piece of cucumber into his mouth.
Luo Aixiang covered her forehead and simply went to the window to buy food.
She bought one serving of braised pork, one serving of sweet and sour spareribs, two stir-fried vegetables, three bowls of rice, and four steamed buns.
Then he said to the staff, "In half an hour, make me another portion of braised pork ribs, a portion of hot and sour potato shreds, a bowl of rice, and a steamed bun. I'll take them away."
The staff nodded expressionlessly.
Luo Aixiang paid the bill and walked over and sat opposite Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was already a little drunk. He put his arm around Zhu Zhigang's shoulders and complained to his father and mother, "They care about their jobs and don't care about my life or death. If I don't go to college, will Ailan be with me?"
"They are about to lose their daughter-in-law, and they are still trying to stop me from taking the college entrance exam."
Only then did Zhu Zhigang realize that he had misunderstood and understood why his wife had glared at him in silence.
He reached out and rubbed his nose. "What Uncle Tang and Aunt Dong said is right." They have worked in the factory for half their lives and are about to retire. They must have deep feelings for the factory.
Tang Hao stared with his eyes wide open, a little drunk, and his hands were not gentle or heavy.
He slapped Zhu Zhigang's shoulder heavily, almost knocking him under the table, "Are you still my brother? You actually spoke for them."
Zhu Zhigang added in his heart, they are plastic brothers.
Luo Aixiang listened to Tang Hao's intermittent words, understood the whole story, and was worried about her sister.
Her sister was obviously attracted to Tang Hao, but before she could make him a regular employee, the college entrance examination was resumed, and then a difficult problem stood in front of them.
This is really a difficult matter, no matter what choice I make it’s not right!
After dinner, Luo Aixiang carried the food she packed for her sister and said to Zhu Zhigang, "You will take Tang Hao home later. I'm leaving first."
"Ai Xiang." Zhu Zhigang looked at Luo Ai Xiang pitifully. He didn't want to stay with a drunkard.
Luo Aixiang ignored him and just walked away.
When Luo Aixiang returned home, she saw that Luo Ailan's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying.
She placed the food on the table and pulled Luo Ailan to sit at the table, "Sister, no matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as eating."
After saying that, Luo Aixiang stuffed the chopsticks into Luo Ailan's hand.
Luo Ailan glanced at Luo Aixiang. Aixiang was right. If her health collapsed, only Aixiang would feel sorry for her. At this critical juncture, she couldn't let her down.
The braised pork that I was drooling over a few days ago tasted like chewing wax when I put it in my mouth.
Luo Aixiang glanced at Luo Ailan and poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her.
Luo Ailan forced herself to eat half a bowl of rice, and then she couldn't eat any more.
Luo Aixiang did not persuade her anymore. She could eat the leftover food when she was hungry or heated it up in the evening.
She brought all the unfinished food into the kitchen and sat opposite Luo Ailan. "Sister, don't blame Tang Hao. He has his own difficulties."
Luo Aixiang told Luo Ailan about Tang Hao.
Luo Ailan listened expressionlessly without saying a word, just sitting there in a daze.
Luo Aixiang didn't disturb her and started reading a math book. She really liked solving math problems and every time she solved a problem she felt a sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, all the members of the Jiang family gathered together and sat in the main room of Shen Qinghe and Jiang Chunlin's house.
Those who couldn't sit on the sofa could sit on the bench.
Even Doudou seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a bit solemn. He sat obediently on his father's lap without twisting his body, his big eyes rolling around.
"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, third brother, third sister-in-law."
Shen Qinghe called everyone in the room.
Everyone looked at her.
Shen Qinghe smiled calmly, "I think everyone knows that Chunlin and I plan to take the college entrance examination, and I want to apply to Beijing University."
After saying this, Shen Qinghe turned and looked at Jiang Chunlin.
