On the way home, Yu Zhiming received another call from Xiaobo.
"Brother-in-law, the renovation of the Furong Women's Club branch will officially start next Monday. I've been busy recruiting troops these days."
Yu Zhiming replied rudely: "You don't need to report your work to me, just tell me, what's the matter with you?"
The next moment, Xiaobo's playful and smiling voice came from the mobile phone.
"My uncle, who knows me, does have something going on, hehe..."
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!" Yu Zhiming urged.
Xiaobo replied on the phone: "Uncle, have you made great progress in the treatment of your terminal cancer?"
Yu Zhiming asked back: "Has someone found you?"
Xiaobo hummed and said: "Today someone came to talk to me about a big project, the decoration of six villas in a villa area. The only requirement is that I will treat a cancer patient."
Yu Zhiming frowned, and then Xiaobo's impassioned voice sounded.
"Uncle, I flatly refused without any hesitation."
"With your help, uncle, our decoration design company has started smoothly."
"Next, we have to rely on our own abilities to work hard. How can we embarrass my uncle and let you worry about it?"
"Uncle, do you think so?"
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyelids and chuckled: "It sounds like you are quite filial. I feel very relieved."
"Well, is there nothing else?"
"No, I'll just hang up."
Before Yu Zhiming's voice dissipated, Xiaobo's voice came out of the phone, "Hey, there's more, there's more, uncle, don't hang up, hehe, hehe..."
Yu Zhiming said angrily: "Speak quickly, if you delay any longer, I will let my eldest sister and your mother pluck your ears."
"Hey Hey……"
Xiaobo giggled twice more on the phone, and then said coyly: "Well, Yiyi came to see me today too."
"She said that the husband of one of her mother's best friends has been diagnosed with cancer, and she wants to ask my uncle for treatment."
"Yi Yi also said that as long as you agree, her mother will agree to her dating me, and she will try to persuade her father to agree too."
At this time, Zhou Mo, who had been driving quietly, suddenly interrupted: "Fu Xiaobo, if Dr. Yu disagrees, will Yi Yi not agree to date you?"
Xiaobo replied softly: "She didn't say that, but that's what she meant."
"She said it was time for me to make amends and show my attitude. The last time her brother-in-law was arrested, I stood by and did nothing."
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and asked: "Xiao Bo, do you really like this Yi Yi?"
"Uncle, I like her."
Hearing the brat's undelayed answer, Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "Ask that patient to come to the hospital for an examination tomorrow afternoon..."
After seven o'clock in the evening, with Yu Zhiming's return, the countdown to the Yu family's sumptuous dinner began.
The little guys were very active in serving the dishes and setting out the dishes and chopsticks.
After Yu Zhiming washed his hands and walked to the dining table, he was stopped by a little guy.
"Uncle, uncle, has my mother called you?"
Yu Zhiming pinched Song Qiao's little nose and said, "Not yet. Your friend was born with a congenital heart malformation. It is not an emergency and he will not be in danger in the short term."
"Don't worry, your mother will come to Binhai this Friday. It will be clearer in person then."
Song Qiao let out a disappointed sigh, and suddenly said happily: "Uncle, today we climbed to the tallest building in Binhai. We also went to a place with glass floors and glass to look at the scenery below and in the distance."
"Cousin Tao didn't even dare to look at it. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants."
Yu Zhiming, who sat down at the dining table, looked at Qi Tao, whose face was flushed, and comforted him with a smile: "It is normal to be afraid of heights. One in twenty people will be afraid of heights."
"Just exercise consciously and you'll be fine."
Qing Ning, who served everyone the soup attentively, changed the topic and said: "Mom, Dad, eldest sister, tomorrow, the location of the engagement banquet has been decided."
"It's in the Heyue Building in Zhongshan Park. Its second floor can accommodate a main table that can seat eighteen people and twelve dining tables."
"My dad said, prepare six tables of guests on each side."
Yu Zhiming said: "Qing Ning, we don't have that many guests here, we can only seat four tables at most."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "My dad said that we need to be more prepared to prevent some uninvited guests."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyelids and said: "You can't do good things unless you invite them, and only white things come uninvited."
Yu Zhaoxia glared at him and criticized: "What nonsense are you talking about? Those who come to congratulate you are all guests, so you must treat them well."
Dad Yu also expressed his opinion, saying: "It is better to prepare more. Even if you prepare too many banquets, you can still pack them back. The weather is not hot now, so you can live there."
After a pause, he asked with concern: "Lao Wu, did you show the neighbor downstairs today?"
"What's his condition? Is it serious?"
Yu Zhiming said vaguely: "I just found an abnormality. What is the specific problem? He needs to go to the ophthalmology department for further diagnosis."
Dad Yu said softly and did not continue to ask. He picked up his chopsticks and asked everyone to start eating...
At nearly 8 o'clock in the evening, after dinner, the Yu family entered the post-dinner art appreciation period.
Yu Zhiming played an erhu song first, and Qing Ning then played a famous piano piece.
Zeng Yan also volunteered to sing a Cantonese opera excerpt.
But the atmosphere in the living room took a turn for the worse, making people feel depressed.
The reason was that Father Yu suddenly asked Qi Tao and Song Yun, "School will start in a few days. Have you finished your homework?"
Faced with this question, several little guys lowered their heads in unison, hesitating and not daring to respond directly.
Dad Yu was angry.
"Don't go out to play tomorrow. Stay at home and do your homework. When you finish your homework, you can go out to play again."
Dad Yu treated them differently: "Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan, should you play or go out to play?"
Zeng Yan said with a sweet face: "We are about to start school. After playing for so many days, we need to calm down and pick up our homework."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiaoxue also nodded in agreement.
Dad Yu said with satisfaction: "That's how it should be. It's better to be more tired and suffer more when you're young than to be miserable when you're the boss and have nothing to show for it."
He looked at Yu Zhiming again and said: "Lao Wu, at noon, your mother, eldest brother and I went to Lao Si's small canteen to have dinner."
"The steamed buns taste really good, the food is pretty good, and there are not too many guests."
Dad Yu stood up again and said: "Boss, Lao Wu, Qing Ning, let's go to the small living room on the second floor. I have something to tell you..."
A few people followed Yu's parents and Yu's mother and sat down in the small living room on the second floor. Qiu Lan made them a pot of tea and went back to the first floor to get busy.
As for the little ones, they had already dug out the homework books they brought from home and started making up their homework with a grimace.
Dad Yu took a sip of tea and slowly put down the cup.
He sighed softly: "In a blink of an eye, the fourth and fifth youngest children in the family will also get married and start a business."
"Your mother and I are also old."
Yu Zhiming asked with a worried look on his face: "Dad..."
Dad Yu waved his hand to stop Yu Zhiming, and continued: "Last night, your mother and I chatted very late, and found that from the eldest to the fifth, the one we two owe the most to is the eldest."
"It can be said that the most difficult period of more than ten years was supported by the elder couple."
Yu Zhaoxia tensed her expression and said, "Dad, what do you mean if I owe something or not? Without you, there would be no me."
"Whatever I do for my family is what I should do."
Yu's mother held Yu Zhaoxia's hand and said: "Boss, your father and I both know that without you, it can be said that there would be no third, fourth and fifth children today."
"Fortunately, they are all standing up now, and they all think of you as a couple. Also, Xiaobo and Xiaoxue have grown up, so you can live a relaxed life."
Dad Yu looked at Yu Zhiming with a serious look on his face, and then said: "Lao Wu, you have the ability now. The affairs of the boss's family will be your business from now on. You are not allowed to shirk or be perfunctory."
Yu Zhiming solemnly expressed his position: "Dad, Mom, you don't need to tell me about this. I will definitely do my best."
This sudden heart-to-heart talk and advice from Yu's parents made Yu Zhaoxia feel worried.
She asked anxiously: "Dad, Mom, why did you suddenly think of talking about this?"
"Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
"Lao Wu, hurry up..."
Dad Yu interrupted again: "I'm not feeling unwell, so don't think too much."
"It's not that in two days, the fourth child and Zhang Bai are going to register for marriage. Last night, I talked about the fourth child with your mother. As we talked, I remembered many things in the past."
After a pause, Dad Yu sighed softly again: "Your mother and I discovered that the second person we owe is the fourth girl."
Yu's mother said with a sigh: "Since childhood, the fourth child has always been ignored in all aspects such as food, clothing, etc."
"Among the others, he was also the one who was beaten and disciplined the most."
"So, she is going to register her marriage this time. Your dad and I discussed it and thought of compensating her."
Hearing this, Yu Zhaoxia breathed a sigh of relief.
She chuckled and said, "Indeed, because there are five and four children, it can be said that they have to stand back in everything, and they have received a lot of unfair treatment."
"Dad, Mom, how are you going to make it up to her?"
Dad Yu said slowly: "We have saved all the money you have given us over the past few years. There are more than 260,000 in total."
"This money is neither too much nor too little. Your mother and I plan to use this money to buy a dowry for the fourth child."
Yu's mother also explained: "Although the fourth child's current small canteen is doing quite well and he is not short of money, this is also our parents' feelings for her and Zhang Bai."
Dad Yu asked again: "What do you think I should buy?"
Yu Zhaoxia, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning exchanged glances, and finally Qing Ning spoke.
"Dad, Mom, the most valuable things in dowry nowadays are houses, cars and jewelry."
Qing Ning analyzed: "In terms of practicality, I personally suggest that it is better to buy a car for the fourth sister."
"If a small canteen wants to open stores everywhere, it will definitely have to go around to find a location to find a store. Fourth sister and Zhang Bai only have one car now, so it shouldn't be very convenient."
Dad Yu hesitated and said: "The fourth child is developing in Binhai now. With more than 200,000 yuan, he shouldn't be able to buy any good cars, right?"
Yu Zhiming quickly took over, "Dad, Mom, the reason why you feel indebted to Fourth Sister is entirely because you invested more attention and resources on me."
"So, as a beneficiary, I have to put in more effort. If there is not enough money, I will make up for it."
He looked at Yu Zhaoxia and said: "Sister, if you let Xiaoxue play tricks on the fourth sister, let's see which car her dream car is..."
