Uncle Sun mumbled softly, not daring to shout.
But he carefully walked over, one hand shielding the front, the other holding the aluminum lunchbox.
If all else fails, forceful eviction is also an option.
"Dad! You’re finally back!"
Sun Aiguo’s smile was big, his eyes gleaming brightly.
This cheerful expression was sothing Uncle Sun had never seen before, certainly out of the ordinary.
Uncle Sun raised the hand holding the lunchbox a bit higher.
"Dad, I’ve got a job!"
Although Sun Aiguo was loud, he knew good news should be shared quietly.
This was sothing he said, leaning towards Uncle Sun.
A job?
Uncle Sun’s face turned stern, eyes narrowed, and the aluminum lunchbox in his hand landed precisely on Sun Aiguo’s back.
"Give back my son!"
"Ah—-Dad——what are you doing!"
Sun Aiguo wanted to jump and run, but forgot about the bucket by his side.
He tripped, a loud splat.
The bucket toppled, and he ended up sprawling in the water.
Shen Yue and Li Chunxiang, for the first ti on a unified front, stood with arms crossed, tsk-tsk-tsk watching Sun Aiguo.
That expression of "can you do anything right" provoked Sun Aiguo.
"That was an accident! I can surely do well!"
Sun Aiguo quickly got up, picked up the bucket, and went to fetch more water.
Just then, Granny Sun arrived belatedly.
Settling down with steady steps, relying on the tacit understanding of years of marriage, she looked at Uncle Sun and said, "He really is a silly son."
"Really?"
Granny Sun nodded.
Uncle Sun recalled what Sun Aiguo had just said, got excited, and slapped his thigh.
"Oh my son!"
A loud and strong exclamation startled Sun Aiguo, causing half a bucket of water to spill.
"Dad——what’s going on! Being so jumpy! You’re scaring ."
Uncle Sun couldn’t hear Sun Aiguo’s complaint at all, effortlessly grabed the bucket that required both of Sun Aiguo’s hands to lift.
"Get out of the way, like a chick!"
After speaking, Uncle Sun shouted at the Shen Family, "Sister Shen, the chick here needs to change clothes and co back to fetch water for you."
Grandma Shen waved her hand, indicating it was unnecessary, but unfortunately, Uncle Sun was in a hurry to go back inside and didn’t see.
Shen Xing, who had been studying inside, ca out, carrying his own special small bucket and silently went to fetch water.
Grandma Shen suppressed laughter.
Isn’t this what Jiang Cheng described as being quirky?
You have to admit, it’s quite accurate.
The Sun Family.
Uncle Sun reconfird Sun Aiguo’s employnt at the food factory, and after the excitent, sat dazedly in the chair.
"So amazing!"
"How is it so amazing!"
Sun Aiguo grinned cheekily and said, "Dad——you don’t need to praise ——I———"
Uncle Sun glanced at Sun Aiguo with disdain.
"Who praised you! What has it got to do with you! I’m talking about Jiang Cheng!"
"Have so self-respect, don’t you know your own level?"
Uncle Sun’s words brought Sun Aiguo’s drifting little heart down a notch.
"Yeah."
Sun Aiguo chuckled awkwardly, imdiately agreeing with Uncle Sun, saying: "Dad! Sister Jiang Cheng is really amazing. When she entered the food factory, it was like going into her own ho, not nervous at all."
"My legs were trembling!"
"Moreover, Sister Jiang Cheng even knows the factory manager of the food factory!"
Uncle Sun listened with interest and relish.
Finally, the family held a very short eting, and the core was only one thing: to maintain extrely good relations with Jiang Cheng.
*
It was nearly ten o’clock at night, and Jiang Cheng finally ca back.
Grandma Shen was sitting on a chair, half asleep, wrapped in a coat.
Jiang Cheng went over, gently nudged Grandma Shen, and said sowhat sympathetically: "Grandma Shen, you don’t need to wait for , I’ve been coming ho late these days."
Grandma Shen tugged at her coat.
"Who’s waiting for you! I’m just older, sleeping less."
Jiang Cheng didn’t expose her, letting Grandma Shen go back to sleep.
She returned to her room and continued studying until eleven-thirty, never interrupting.
The next day, Jiang Cheng left early, having ntioned it to Grandma Shen the night before.
For the following three days, people in the courtyard almost didn’t see Jiang Cheng’s figure.
Lin Jiaojiao, who had failed several tis, feared nothing and sprang out again, spreading rumors about Jiang Cheng not returning at night.
On the first day she spread the rumors, Li Chunxiang’s mom caught her.
Li Chunxiang’s mom was brainwashed by Li Chunxiang every day.
The job was given by Jiang Cheng, and the official transition was due to Jiang Cheng’s form.
In a nutshell: following the right person is better than anything!
Thus, Li Chunxiang’s mom beca Jiang Cheng’s first protective general.
Granny Sun was the second general.
And the one holding the fort was Grandma Shen.
The three won blocked Lin Jiaojiao at the Lin Family’s door, with Li Chunxiang’s mom leading the attack, cursing with a variety of words, not repeating a single one.
Granny Sun was responsible for filling in gaps, her words few but hitting the mark.
Grandma Shen was the key witness, proving what ti Jiang Cheng returned each day.
The three won were rational, well-evidenced, and combative, leaving Lin Jiaojiao, who wanted to spread slander about Jiang Cheng, dead in her tracks, her reputation growing worse.
Inside the house, He Dan, who was recuperating and watching the commotion, pursed her lips.
"Useless thing."
Since being pushed by Lin Jiaojiao, after the first big battle with the Lin Family, He Dan simply excused herself for recuperation, not doing any housework.
Every day, she argued back and forth with Lin’s mother, never quiet.
Whenever Lin’s mother scolded her, He Dan would bring up the six hundred yuan matter.
She murmured so much that the whole courtyard knew the six hundred yuan was the money He Dan got for selling her job.
Lin’s mother couldn’t do anything about He Dan, and seed displeased with everyone at ho, with Lin Jiaojiao getting scolded the most.
After failing once more, Lin Jiaojiao finally had so sense and thought: she needed a change of strategy.
Unknown how her thought process ford, Lin Jiaojiao ultimately decided to find a capable man and marry him.
Then she would live the good life, making the envious Jiang Cheng, who had to live in others’ houses, jealous to death!
After being busy for another two days, Jiang Cheng reappeared at the Shen Family’s breakfast table.
Shen Yue eagerly looked at Jiang Cheng and asked: "Sister, did you eat the walnut kernels I peeled for you?"
"Yes, I did. I left you a note, did you see it?"
Shen Yue nodded, her praise flowing, saying: "I even made it into a bookmark to keep! Sister’s handwriting is so beautiful!"
Jiang Cheng lightly tapped Shen Yue’s nose.
This once shy little girl had been nurtured by her into a sweet-talking girl.
Jiang Cheng turned to look at Shen Xing.
"Xing Xing, is there sothing wrong?"
Spacey Xing Xing took several seconds to react before looking at Jiang Cheng, shaking his head.
Jiang Cheng saw this and said:
"That’s good, let’s eat."
The four of them happily finished breakfast, and Jiang Cheng prepared to send the two little ones to school.
At the door, Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Yue and said: "Yue Yue, my bag is left on the table, can you help —"
"I’ll go get it right now!"
Shen Yue happily ran back into the house, while Jiang Cheng squatted down to look at Shen Xing.
"Tell , what’s wrong?"
This ti Shen Xing didn’t hide it.
"Sister, I haven’t received a letter from big brother for a long ti."
Shen Que?
Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Xing’s worried expression.
"Do you have a phone number? I can call and ask, okay?"
