Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 388 If you don’t want to be a gigolo, why do you want to provoke the Xiao family?

Zhou Qinghao can’t cook, and it was Xie Cuilian who took care of his food, clothing, and shelter at the steel factory. Now he is asked to “do it himself and have enough food and clothing”, won’t he starve and freeze?

Zhou Qinghao didn't want to put himself in a difficult position, so he tried to please Zhou Jiaguang and Zhou's mother in various ways, and took the initiative to apologize to Shen Qingran and her two siblings.

After Shen Qingran, Shen Shanqi and Shen Shanrui whispered to each other for a few words, they decided to forgive Zhou Qinghao.

Everyone shook hands and made peace, and soon they started playing together again...

Zhou Jiaguang felt that Zhou Qinghao and Zhou Qin had learned bad habits in the factory. In order to correct their bad habits, he exercised his rights as an elder and assigned work to each child to kill their energy. If anyone did not do a good job, they would not have food to eat and would also have to do horse stance.

Zhou Qinghao was not convinced and said that he came back to play, not to work.

Zhou Jiaguang read out several instructions from the leader, and he could not refute them. At the same time, he was punished by not being allowed to eat lunch at noon and doing horse stance for another hour. Then he became obedient and went to do his job obediently...

Father Zhou secretly boasted to Mother Zhou: "Qi Guang in our family has the style and elegance I had in my youth!"

Zhou's mother: "... Stop bragging here. I was interrupted by a few children just now, and I was busy making lunch. I didn't have time to talk to him. Go call him over and let's talk about his girlfriend."

Father Zhou: "Oh, that's right, I almost forgot about such an important thing."

When Zhou Jiaguang arrived at the bedroom, Zhou's father asked directly: "I heard that you found a powerful girlfriend. Do you want to be a gigolo?"

Zhou Jiaguang: "...Dad, don't use random words. I'm not jobless or unpaid, why should I live off others?"

Father Zhou: "If you don't want to be a gigolo, why do you want to provoke the Xiao family?"

Zhou Jiaguang: "I didn't go to provoke them. It was their family who took a liking to me and wanted me to get to know their daughter for a while to see if it was a good match."

Zhou's mother asked, "How are you getting along now?"

Zhou Jiaguang: "We have been communicating through letters for a while now, and things are going well. She will turn 18 next month, and her father said that you can't get married before you are 20, so let's just stay like this for now."

Mother Zhou: "Did the Xiao family make any request to you?"

Zhou Jiaguang: "No, but everything I say and do in the city is under their surveillance. I guess they are testing my character."

Mother Zhou: "Good fortune and bad fortune go hand in hand. There is no free benefit in this world. You have grown up and have your own ideas. We want to control you, but you may not listen. I only have one request, that you do not bring trouble to the family.

Your brothers and sisters have achieved what they have today through hard work. Before you act, you must think more about them and not just yourself.”

Zhou Jiaguang: "I understand."

Father Zhou: "As men in our Zhou family, we cannot owe our wives anything, let alone be live-in sons-in-law. You must keep this in mind."

Zhou Jiaguang: "I will definitely keep my father's teachings in mind!"

Zhou Qingping had many doubts in his mind, and he didn't dare to tell others, but he believed that with his mother's experience, she should be able to give him some ideas and directions.

Zhou Qingping said that he had not been back to Zhoujiawan for a long time. After lunch, he asked Zhou Rong to accompany him for a walk.

On the way, Zhou Qingping told Zhou Rong that after their unit finished several major projects, it began to implement a new policy. His former kind colleagues suddenly became ferocious and deliberately fabricated evidence to frame others. Even the slightest mistake would be magnified infinitely.

It seemed as if people turned bad overnight. He couldn't understand why they became like this. Was it because they disguised themselves too well, or was it just their nature?

Zhou Rong: "There are two things in the world that you cannot look directly at: the sun and the human heart. Many people wear masks when interacting with others. If you don't go through some things, you will never know their true colors. Does the new policy have any impact on you?"

Zhou Jiaping: “My family background is clean, they couldn’t find any fault with me, and apart from pointing out some mistakes in my work, they didn’t make too many accusations.

My teacher and junior sister came back from abroad. Some of my colleagues came from well-off families and had high class backgrounds. They were given several meetings and after writing self-criticisms, they were arranged to work as general workers in the workshop. Some of our projects had to be interrupted.

Seeing that I was young and had not had a good rest before, my boss didn’t want me to get involved in too many disputes, so he approved a few months of leave in the name of recuperation. ”

Zhou Rong: "We are all ordinary people living in today's society, and following the policies is our only way to protect ourselves.

I know you can’t stand some things and can’t figure them out, but that’s how life is. It’s impossible for everything to go your way. Only by learning to accept things can you live peacefully.”

Zhou Qingping: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to actually do it. I'm so confused now, and I miss the days when I could stay in the laboratory and do research without distraction."

Zhou Rong: "Everyone's life will have an extremely difficult time. In the face of pain, all complaints are useless.

People only learn to be brave when no one comforts them when they cry; only learn to be independent when no one helps them when they are tired; only learn to be strong when no one accompanies them when they are in pain.

So-called growth is a process of constant collapse and reconstruction.

This is the forced expansion of life, but what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

The people you have met, the things you have endured, and the storms you have gone through will all become the most beautiful scenery in your life. Only by keeping calm and composed can you face the ups and downs of life. "

Zhou Qingping smiled and said, "What mom said is very philosophical. I've learned a lot."

Zhou Rong: "If you really listened to me, just rest at home and stop thinking about work. You were strong and healthy before you went to college, but now a gust of wind can blow you away.

I have no objection to you serving your country, but as a mother, I don't want you to ruin your health.

Without you, the earth will still turn and the country will still develop, but I will suffer for the rest of my life. You have not yet repaid my kindness in raising me. I need your care in my old age, and you must take good care of your health. "

Zhou Qingping: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

On New Year's Eve, Zhou's father and mother invited Zhou Rong and his family to have a New Year's Eve dinner at their place.

In the evening, Zhou Qing'an appeared at the door wearing a military uniform and carrying a suitcase, which made everyone very happy.

Zhou Rong went up to him and asked happily, "Is it the holiday? Can you rest for a few days?"

Zhou Qingan: "We had just completed a mission and passed through Jiangcheng. My leader said that it would be inappropriate for me not to go home to visit my family when I was at my doorstep, so he approved a week's leave for me.

I returned to Chang'anli yesterday and found the house locked. After asking the neighbors, I learned that you had returned to Zhoujiawan, so I stayed in a guesthouse for one night and then took the train back early this morning.

I was lucky enough to catch the New Year dinner."

Zhou's mother: "Qing'an has grown taller and stronger. Come in and sit down. We'll have dinner soon."

Zhou Qingan: "Okay, thank you grandma."

Zhou Qing'an's return home makes this New Year more reunited.

The New Year's Eve dinner was divided into two tables. Everyone was talking and laughing. All the troubles were swept away in the joy of reunion...
