Chapter 243 Who is more beautiful?
afternoon.
Jia family.
Seeing Xiaodang pushing open the door and entering, Huaihua put down her pen and complained a little: "Sister, you went to eat something good, why didn't you call me?"
This girl looks pretty and cute, even more like a sister.
And the level of stinginess is far beyond that.
In Jia Zhang's words, she is like her biological father Jia Dongxu, comparable to the elite of the Yan family.
Xiaodang chuckled and said, "Grandpa He didn't treat us. How can we go anywhere? I'll go eat today, and you can go next time."
Jia Zhang stopped to pick up the soles of her shoes and asked with concern:
"Xiao Dang, have you mentioned that to him? Your brother may come back in a few months, so you have to prepare first."
Xiaodang shook his head: "She is still angry, how can she help Zhang Luo work? This matter is very uncertain!"
Jia Zhang pushed up her reading glasses and said dissatisfiedly:
"Have you told him that when your brother gets a job, he will no longer stop your mother and Shazhu from getting married, so they can get married?"
Xiaodang shook his head and couldn't help but cursed in his heart: What did grandma think? Do you think Grandpa He is a fool? Now it is you who begs others, not others who beg you! Grandpa He has three sons, so he doesn’t need to care whether his stupid dad gets married or not!
When Jia Zhang saw her shaking her head, she said angrily:
"You damn girl, how nice was your brother to you before? You are the only one in our whole family who can talk to Lao He, how can you not help?"
Sophora japonica also echoed: "Sister, you should help!"
Xiaodang sighed: "Grandpa He is not a stupid dad. If you want him to help, you can't just rely on words."
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted: "He knows so many leaders, so what's the point of helping him? It's not just helping BangGeng, he can also help his own son! Is there any benefit?"
If he doesn't want benefits, then why should I massage his shoulders, step on his back, rub his feet, pick his ears...
Xiaodang thought for a while and said bluntly:
"Grandma, don't believe it. Grandpa He no longer cares about silly dad and doesn't even want to talk to him."
Jia Zhang didn't believe it: "These broken bones are still connected with tendons! Si Zhu is his own son, he can't ignore it."
Xiaodang reminded: "What happened to my biological son? Have you forgotten that Grandpa He abandoned his son and daughter and ran away with a widow?"
In the past ten years, Chen Tao has been a good father, which has made many people forget what happened back then.
Jia Zhang thought for a while and felt that what her granddaughter said made sense.
Lao He got lucky and married that teacher Xue, and gave birth to three more sons, all of whom were outstanding...
In this case, how could he still care about Silly Pillar?
"Then what should we do? It's hard to find a job now, and even harder to find a good job! If it doesn't matter, what will your brother do in the future? You should try to persuade Lao He again. He is the second-in-command of the steel rolling mill and can definitely take over. Get the stick into the factory."
"I'll do my best!"
Xiaodang didn't refuse directly, otherwise it would appear that she didn't want to help, which would be detrimental to family harmony.
Nine days later.
Another New Year’s Eve.
forecourt.
The three brothers Jiefang, Xie Kuang and Hedi have left the compound and have their own families.
They don't like Yanbugui, but they still come back to take a look during the holidays.
Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li and their daughter's family of three are also willing to get together with the old couple.
So, their house is quite lively.
Middle Court.
Bangge was not at home, so Shazhu naturally spent time with the Jia family;
As for Yi Zhonghai, he also brought Aunt Yi with him as in previous years.
Qin Jingru has no objection to this.
She has a son, controls the family's finances, is young and beautiful, and doesn't need to care about Aunt Yi's "love rival" at all.
Chen Tao lives with Miss Xue and her three sons.
Snowflakes are falling outside the window, but there are hot pots and TVs indoors. It is not only warm and cozy, but also full of laughter and laughter, as if spring has arrived early.
Miss Xue hugged the third child and asked with interest: "Xiaojun, tell mom what your dream is?"
The third child thought for a while and said, "I want to be a good chef and cook for my mother every day."
Miss Xue was very moved and slapped her son hard on the face.
Then he looked at the eldest and second eldest brother and motioned for them to share their dreams.
The old man laughed and said: "I want to be an astronaut, and I can go to the moon in the future."
Miss Xue hummed: "You stay with mother, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
The boss is too lively, and Miss Xue is very worried about him.
The second child is very sensible: "Mom, I will accompany you from now on, let the elder brother and younger brother pursue their dreams!"
Miss Xue's eyes turned red: "Mom is joking, I won't really tie you to me."
Chen Tao agreed: "Good men have ambitions everywhere. In a few years, I will send you to Hong Kong Island to go to school. When you are older, I will send you to the United States. After you have completed your studies, you will return and serve the country."
This pattern is completely full.
Miss Xue asked curiously: "Do you want to find Xiao'e?"
Chen Tao nodded: "In ten years at most, I will let you three ladies live a good and carefree life."
Miss Xue said softly: "As long as our family of five is happy, I will be very happy!"
Over the years, Miss Xue only cared about her uncle and her three children. She no longer cared about Silly Zhu or He Yuyu.
backyard.
Liu family.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner, only Liu Haizhong and his second aunt ate together.
The boss Liu Guangqi didn't come back.
The second eldest brother, Liu Guangtian, and the third eldest brother, Liu Guangfu, have not been back for a long time, just like their eldest brother.
Therefore, the Liu family is quite deserted.
Xu family.
Xu Damao was still a bachelor, so he had to go back to his parents' house for New Year's Eve dinner, otherwise he would be really lonely.
***
Inadvertently, half a year has passed. By the end of June, Banggeng jumped in and came back.
It stands to reason that Silly Zhu, a silly dad who has not yet become a full-time employee, should prepare a good table for this kid to cleanse himself from the dust.
But this kid has a stubborn temper and refuses to eat a bite of what Si Zhu made.
"Brother, I specially asked Grandpa He to make this. You can eat it!"
Xiaodang brought out a plate of plain-cut chicken and said as if offering a treasure.
This was something she barely managed to get with five "full set" services.
"I won't eat his food!"
Although his Adam's apple was twitching and almost drooling, Banggeng still turned his head and refused.
"Brother? Why are you like this? Grandpa He didn't offend you! Moreover, Grandpa He and Silly Dad separated their families long ago. This plate of chicken is not from Silly Dad's family... You still don't want to eat it? Humph, you won't eat it. I eat it myself."
As he spoke, Xiaodang picked up a chicken leg with his chopsticks and brought it to his lips, ready to bite it.
Jia Zhang's eyes widened and she said dissatisfiedly:
"You girl! How miserable is your brother's life for cutting in line? Why don't you leave the chicken legs to him?"
Xiaodang smiled when he heard this and put the chicken legs into Banggeng's bowl again.
Bangjie rolled his eyes at her and gave the chicken legs to Sophora japonica.
What happened to the separation?
Not all of them are named He!
Qin Huairu advised: "Xiaodang, Sophora japonica, you go ahead and eat it!"
Upon hearing this, the girl Huaihua became rude.
It’s time to learn how to eat more good food to fill your stomach when you are hungry.
After meal.
Banggan took a short rest, then took a set of fishing gear and Shi Shiran walked out of the compound.
It doesn't matter to him whether he has a job or not. He just works if he has it, and goes fishing if he doesn't have it. How comfortable it is!
In fact, he had the right idea. There are only three job quotas in the street, but there are so many young people coming back. If we don't rely on connections, how can he get his turn in the first place?
It's better to wait in peace and contentment.
After Banggeng left, Qin Huairu took Xiaodang and asked:
"Grandpa He, are you really not willing to help? Your brother going to the steel rolling mill is actually a matter of his words."
Xiaodang shook his head and sighed:
"In these years, my brother has never said a word to stupid dad, and you have never asked him for a marriage certificate. Grandpa He saw it in his eyes, was angry in his heart, and wouldn't help. Mom, even if you and stupid dad Even if you get married, Uncle He won't help. He hates you."
Qin Huairu said bitterly: "Even if Uncle He hates me, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm doing it all for your brother. If he doesn't let go, I won't marry your stupid father!"
Huaihua suggested: "Then let's persuade brother to agree?"
Xiaodang said helplessly: "How many years has it been? If you can persuade me, why don't you wait until now?"
Qin Huairu told her: "You have to persuade Grandpa He in the future. I heard that he wants to retire early, so we have to hurry up. Otherwise, we won't be able to help him even if he wants to help."
Huaihua was very surprised: "Grandpa He is not yet sixty, he looks young, and he is still the leader of the factory. Why do you want to retire?"
Xiaodang was actually very puzzled.
But after several years of contact, she also understood very well that Uncle He's thinking was beyond her ability to keep up with. She didn't need to know too much, she just had to provide attentive service.
Afternoon, half past two.
Miss Xue participated in activities at school.
Chen Tao took care of his children at home, while writing articles and composing music to make some preparations for the future.
Just when he put down his pen and was about to drink some tea, Xiaodang pushed open the door and came to sit next to him.
"Why are you here with me if you don't accompany your brother?"
"He just finished lunch and went out with his fishing rod. And he didn't even eat the food cooked by my stupid dad and you! Oh, what did he think? It was Xu Damao and the others who did the bad things. It has nothing to do with silly dad.”
"..."
"Grandpa, why don't you speak?"
"It's Grandpa He! I'm not talking because I don't want to talk about your family's affairs. I'm not interested."
"Then what do you want to talk about?"
"My shoulders are a little sore, please give me a squeeze."
"..."
"Your hands are sore too? Haha, then call Sophora japonica over here!"
"Hmph, I'm not sour!"
Xiaodang stood up, walked around behind Chen Tao in two steps, and began to massage him gently.
This girl has been a massage girl for several years. If she gives up halfway, she will have too many sunk costs.
Chen Tao closed his eyes and said with a smile: "I quite like beauty. It smells like balm."
Xiaodang also smiled and said: "It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and I am no exception. By the way, Grandpa He, do you think... who is more beautiful, me or Sophora japonica?"
Chen Tao shook his head: "I'm face-blind, so I don't know which of you is more beautiful. But if I want to say who I like more, it has to be you. You are too sensible."
Does that mean I’m not as good as Sophora japonica?
Xiaodang pouted and said, "Not only am I sensible, I'm also very beautiful."
