Zhu Yaowu came back very punctually, or rather he had been watching secretly and would go home as soon as the person left.

"Brother, you have to rely on me and grandma to take care of you while you work here. Please be considerate of us and bring two children back. They are so noisy." Zhu Yaowu had a sullen face while eating.

Zhu Weidong looked up at him.

He didn't say anything, just looked at you straight, making you feel creepy.

"Why did you shave your head?"

Yes, Zhu Yaowu shaved his head.

He touched him and said, "He's too handsome. There are many girls in the family. I'm afraid they will take a fancy to him."

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "You are talking nonsense again. Don't ruin the reputation of a girl."

Speaking of these two girls, Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Shaozhen is smart, not like a 21-year-old. Her insight into the ways of the world can be seen in her behavior."

"Otherwise how can I be the eldest sister?" Zhu Yaowu muttered softly.

"What elder sister?" Old Madam Zhu looked at the two of them, and finally looked at Zhu Weidong. She knew that her eldest grandson would not hide anything from her. "Weidong, what's going on?"

"When someone threw a glass bottle at our house, I chased after him that night, and Shaozhen was with those people from society."

Before Zhu Weidong finished speaking, Zhu Yaowu added, "Those people all obey her orders."

Mrs. Zhu's face was filled with gloom. "So that's how it is."

As for other comments, Mrs. Zhu did not say anything.

Zhu Yaowu didn't care, he knew that his grandmother was just like that.

After dinner, it was late at night.

Old Mrs. Zhu was not sleepy yet. She sat in the yard and chatted with her two grandchildren. "Where are Xiaoling and the others now? Have they been to Province L?"

"We take turns driving and don't rest at night. We will arrive in the capital almost tomorrow night." Zhu Weidong took out a blanket and put it on grandma's legs.

Old Mrs. Zhu looked at her grandson and said, "You can't leave your family without someone there, so don't rush back. You have Yaowu at home."

"I'm going to be busy for more than a month this time, and I can go home before the Chinese New Year."

Old Mrs. Zhu's eyes lit up, "Can the project here be completed?"

"The foundation will be completed before the end of the year, and the workers will be in charge of the operation. I won't be needed anymore."

Old Mrs. Zhu said yes repeatedly.

Zhu Yaowu smiled at his elder brother, "Grandma feels that there is hope for her to have a grandson again."

Old Mrs. Zhu did not refute, "Your wedding has to be arranged. I will call your father tomorrow and ask them when they have time in winter to come to the bride's place to meet. Ji's relatives are here, so we have to set up a banquet here and in the capital as well. We have to prepare well."

Seeing that grandma was getting more and more excited, Zhu Weidong did not interrupt her and pointed out loopholes from time to time. Zhu Yaowu admired his elder brother's patience.

At the Miao family, Miao Shaozhen told Grandpa about what happened at the Zhu family, and tilted his head and said, "Brother Zhu doesn't seem to like the Ji family. When he spoke, he didn't look at Ji Ke, but at me instead."

Miao Hai drank his tea slowly. "That's the Zhu family's business, don't worry about it. You are very smart. You have never worried your grandfather since you were a child. I know some things and I don't need to say more. You just need to know what to do in the Zhu family."

Miao Shaozhen pouted, "Grandpa, what will you do after I go to the capital? I'm worried about leaving you here alone."

Miao Shaozhen smiled and said, "That's a deal. Grandpa will help me take care of the child."

At the Ji family, Ji Ke has been in a bad mood since returning home.

Ji Yong didn't ask, but Xu Fang was worried. After knowing that Zhu Weidong was going to teach her and another girl together, she didn't think it was a problem. "Then why are you unhappy?"

"This is just like a class in school. How can it be the same if you tell it to me alone or to two people? I am repeating this year. If I don't do well in the exam, you will be laughed at. I don't want you to be laughed at."

Xu Fang was silent.

She thought of this when she began to debate whether to let her daughter repeat a grade, and finally chose the latter between losing face and caring about her daughter.

She patted her daughter and said, "Don't be stressed. The more stressed you are, the less likely you are to pass the exam. I heard from the Dong family in the front yard that their child had repeated a grade several times. He was able to pass the exam this year because he thought he would give up if he failed, but he actually passed."

"Mom, am I really disappointing?"

"No way."

Ji Ke repeated what Miao Shaozhen asked her today, "When I said my brother and sister were good to me, Grandma Zhu just listened with a smile and didn't expose me. But I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole to hide in. Grandma Zhu knew the situation of our family best. I was still lying in front of her. She must think I was hypocritical."

"Okay, those are insignificant people, not important." Xu Fang hugged her daughter and comforted her softly.

She felt sad. Her daughter was already sad, but she couldn't show it.

Which mother would feel good when her beloved daughter is looked down upon by others?

At night, Xu Fang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Ji Yong was also woken up by her and turned on the bedside lamp. "Is there something going on at work?"

"I was wondering how you solved the issue of selling your job?" Xu Fang didn't mention Ji Ke's matter. Given her husband's temper, he would definitely think that his daughter was troublesome.

"Someone contacted me today and said he wanted to buy my job. I have already discussed it with the other party and will go to the company to handle the formalities tomorrow."

Xu Fang sat up excitedly, "Why didn't you tell me during the day?"

"Someone came to see me this afternoon, but the matter has not been completed. I was afraid that you would be excited for nothing, so I didn't tell you."

Xu Fang smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It's okay even if it doesn't work out."

Talking about the Liu family again, "Liu Hongsheng has been the top leader for so many years, and I don't know how many people he has offended. He has made people hate him so much. If he doesn't restrain himself in the future, he will suffer."

"Liu Hongsheng is a good person, but his son Liu Zili is not. He offended many people when he entered the company. I heard a lot of complaints when I went to the company these days. I am afraid that this was done by someone in the company."

People are like this. When they hear that others are not doing well, they forget their own shortcomings.

Xu Fang's unhappiness disappeared, and as it was getting late, she and her husband went to bed early.

The next day, Xu Fang took some time off and went to the agricultural machinery company with Ji Yong. Last time, her husband did it himself, and she felt that the agricultural machinery company was bullying her, so this time she had to go and take a look.

When I arrived at the company gate, I saw the man who said he wanted to buy a job. He was a young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. When he saw Ji Yong coming, he smiled and called him uncle, and was very polite to him.

The first impression was good and Xu Fang thought this thing could be done, but it got stuck when she got to the company.

Liu Hongsheng called Ji Yong individually and said, "I know everyone in the company. Some of them have children who are out of work. Can you consider the people in the company first?"
