The town was so small that Qiao Xinyi walked around with her two children and then headed back. On the way, they met Feng Zhenzhu who was looking for them, and they went back to Feng's house together.
Aunt Feng came back from washing clothes and picking fresh vegetables from her own garden. She first saw Qiao Xinyi and Feng Zhenzhu walk in side by side, and then she saw the two little ones follow Qiao Xinyi in one after another.
Qiao Xinyi stopped to greet her, and the two children bumped into her thighs, making her cry out “ouch, ouch” twice.
"Mom, I'm almost dying of laughter. Xiaozhou and Xiaoyu are so funny." Feng Zhenzhu came back smiling all the way.
Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu were not embarrassed. When Qiao Xinyi refused to leave, they ran to Aunt Feng to show off their toys.
"Grandma Feng, look at the slingshots Aunt Qiao bought for us!" Fu Linzhou stood on tiptoe and held the slingshot high in his hand and handed it to Aunt Feng to see. "Aunt Qiao originally wanted to buy one for me and my brother, but I asked her to buy one for me and my brother to play with together."
The two brothers have supported each other since childhood and have a very good relationship. They will not fight over each other when playing with toys.
Qiao Xinyi initially suggested buying two, but the two children said it was a waste of money, so they just bought one. After they got one, they giggled with joy all the way back.
"Xiao Zhou and Xiao Yu are really sensible." Aunt Feng was also happy and praised them.
Fu Qingshan's girlfriend is willing to spend money on the two children, which shows that she really likes Fu Qingshan's two nephews.
The two children are also sensible, and they will not make things too difficult for Aunt Qiao Xinyi when they live with her in the future.
There were not many people eating at noon, including the Feng family and Fu Qingshan, so there were not many dishes to wash.
Seeing that Aunt Feng and Feng Zhenzhu were busy, Qiao Xinyi called the two children to play with slingshots and went over to help.
But Aunt Feng wouldn't let her do it, so she stuffed a freshly picked cucumber into her mouth and asked her to nibble on it. The two of them ate while chatting.
Feng Zhenzhu was very curious about the provincial capital, so most of the time she heard the little girl chattering and asking Qiao Xinyi questions.
The three were chatting when Zhang Zao came over.
She came to look for Fu Qingshan, but when she got there she found out that Fu Qingshan was not there, and that Qiao Xinyi was staying at Feng's house with the two children.
Zhang Zao rolled his eyes and said to Qiao Xinyi with a smile, "There are guests coming to our house. If Qingshan is not here, then you can go back with me to entertain the guests."
After hearing Zhang Zao say that there were guests at home, Fu Linzhou stuffed the slingshot into his brother's hand and ran home quickly. Less than half a minute later, he rushed back to Feng's house like a cannonball.
Qiao Xinyi came to Feng's house and was standing at the door. Fu Linzhou pulled Qiao Xinyi aside to talk in private.
"Auntie Baldhead, the aunt from the county town that Grandma Zhang found for Uncle is coming to our house. Don't go back." Fu Linzhou pouted, "My brother and I don't like her, and you can't like her either."
"She came to snatch your uncle's from me. I'm crazy to like her." Qiao Xinyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Upon hearing that Qiao Xinyi was in the same camp as them, Fu Linzhou patted his chest and felt relieved.
Children's minds are the most sensitive, especially those who grew up in an environment like Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu. They know clearly whether the look in the adults' eyes shows love or dislike for them.
No matter how kind you appear on the surface, if you don't like them, you just don't like them.
Qiao Xinyi was quite shocked. When Zhang Zao said that there were guests at home, she thought it was a relative from the Fu or Zheng family who heard that Fu Qingshan brought his girlfriend back home, so he came to join in the fun.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Zao who brought the good daughter-in-law in her mind home, and then called her back to "entertain" the guests even though he knew Fu Qingshan was not there?
What is Zhang Zao’s plan?
Qiao Xinyi rubbed Fu Linzhou's head and followed Zhang Zao.
When she entered the yard, she saw a girl wearing a white shirt, a dark blue skirt and black leather shoes standing in the yard and talking to Zheng Dajiang.
Qiao Xinyi looked down at her clothes, not knowing whether to say it was a coincidence or this person did it on purpose.
"Let me introduce you." Zhang Zao took Liu Yun's hand affectionately after entering. When Qiao Xinyi came in, she smiled even more cordially, "This is Liu Yun, she works at the county radio station, and is a formal employee."
The smile on Zheng Dajiang's face had not faded since Qiao Xinyi came in, and his face was full of flattery.
"Her parents are also small leaders in the unit. Her family can help me find a job, and it's a formal job."
Zheng Dajiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Xinyi with a smug look on his face. "He went to our county's cannery to look after the warehouse. He can earn a lot of money just by sitting there."
Because of Liu Yun's instructions before coming, Zheng Dajiang couldn't tell Qiao Xinyi directly that Liu Yun was the ideal wife for his family, but he looked at Qiao Xinyi with contempt.
"Comrade Liu Yun said that coming from the provincial capital is no big deal. There are many people who live in tight quarters in big cities. The bigger the city, the more ordinary people there are. Your family should be the kind that Comrade Liu Yun mentioned, right?"
After leaving home, Zheng Dajiang went directly to the county town to find Liu Yun and told Liu Yun that Fu Qingshan brought his girlfriend from the provincial capital home.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Yun asked him a few questions, she was not worried at all, and even told him that there were many poor and stingy people in the provincial capital.
Fu Qingshan's girlfriend didn't even wear a watch. No matter how neatly she was dressed, it was just because she bought new clothes to look presentable when she came back with Fu Qingshan to meet the elders.
A young lady who was about to get married didn't even have a watch, which meant that Qiao Xinyi's family was not well off and couldn't even afford a watch, so Qiao Xinyi certainly didn't dare to agree to Zheng Dajiang's job arrangement for her in the provincial capital.
An ordinary family may not even be able to arrange jobs for their own children, so how can they arrange jobs for others?
Liu Yun smiled at Qiao Xinyi and refuted Zheng Dajiang with a hint of politeness, "Comrade Zheng Dajiang, don't say that. We are all ordinary people."
Then she smiled and asked Qiao Xinyi, "I heard from Aunt Zhang that your name is Qiao Xinyi? What a nice name. Right, you are not in school now, right? Then where do you work?"
"When I was in college, I knew a few classmates and friends from the provincial capital, and I've also been to the provincial capital. Maybe we know someone in common."
Starting from this method of gathering information, those who have been to school are at a higher level than those like Zhang Mengdi who have not been to school.
She started by showing Qiao Xinyi that she had been to college, and then quietly boasted about her wide network of contacts, saying that even though she worked in Tongan County, she knew a lot of people in the provincial capital.
"I don't have a job." Qiao Xinyi responded and looked at Liu Yun with a smile.
"Ah?" Liu Yun was surprised. "You are already nine years old and still don't have a job? Have you been unemployed at home since you graduated from high school?"
Liu Yun added, "Aunt Zhang and I are good friends. It is fate that we met here. I will definitely help if I can."
Liu Yun walked towards Qiao Xinyi with a smile, and took Qiao Xinyi's hand in a familiar manner, "When I go back, I will contact my friends in the provincial capital to help you find a job. If there is a suitable one, I will let Aunt Zhang tell you. It is not difficult to find a job if you have a high school degree."
