Although it is more than a month after the New Year, the weather is still relatively cold.
Everyone who enters the living room does not forget to close the door to prevent the cold air from outside from entering.
When everyone arrived, Chen Mei's meal was almost ready.
Fortunately, the dining table bought by Anjing is relatively large, so it didn’t feel crowded with so many people sitting together.
"What are you doing now?" Chen Yongchang ate his food and looked at Chen Ming.
Since he was not allowed to work in Hongyuan's store last time, he has never asked anything about his affairs. He is still staying in Qinghe City, so he must have found a new job.
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, his father suddenly asked him this question: "Dad, I entered the factory."
This time, it surprised others.
"The work in the factory is not that easy. It is quite rare that you can get in. Work hard in the future and try to get Dongdong to go to school in the city." Chen Yongchang thought for a while and said.
Chen Ming nodded, of course he knew that it was difficult to get into a job in the factory, let alone do it, and it was even more difficult for someone like him who had no connections to do it.
"How could we not come back? We are just settling there temporarily so that Hongyuan can handle the company's affairs." Chen Mei explained.
A warm hot pot meal fills the whole body with warmth as the indoor temperature continues to rise.
Fortunately, Chen Mei bought a lot of vegetables in the morning, which was enough for another meal in the evening.
She smiled, took Chen Mei's hand and said helplessly: "Mom, I am your biological daughter, why are you so indifferent to me?"
This is something the whole family has discussed together. The main purpose of coming back this time is to pick up family members.
As early as during the meal, she had noticed that her mother was absent-minded and looked at her second brother with hidden worry.
Chen Ming put the food in his mouth and suddenly felt something unpleasant.
Chen Yongchang was reluctant at first. After all, he was used to it here and was very familiar with the things in the store and the people nearby.
"That's right." Chen Mei hesitated when the words came to her lips.
"Jing Jing, come here. Mom has something to discuss with you."
Seeing that her daughter had guessed it, Chen Mei simply spread her arms and said, "Do you think you can let your second brother go to work in the hot pot restaurant again? He is having a hard time now. He has a son at home. There will be many things to do in the future. After this time
Presumably he already knew he was wrong."
He is really happy today. He has not been so lively for a long time. He is not happy today even during the Chinese New Year.
"It's like this. Hongyuan took over the Liu family's company and industry. We can't live without people there. We plan to move to Liuhe City."
Chen Mei saw his thoughts in her eyes and sighed in her heart, this was her son too, but he was just a son who failed to live up to his expectations.
Liuhe City is so far away from Qinghe City, so I won’t be able to meet him in the future.
He didn't dare to have an opinion.
Only now did he realize how easy the job given to him at home was. The salary was high and he didn't get angry. If he did well, he could be promoted like his elder brother and get a higher salary. As a store manager, he could manage others instead of being criticized by others.
control.
Sure enough, Jing Jing mentioned it to Hong Yuan, and Hong Yuan agreed without saying a word.
"But where is Hongyuan?" Chen Mei still felt that her daughter should discuss it with her son-in-law.
"Mom, Hongyuan has already agreed. You can go and ask the second brother if he is willing. The salary and benefits will remain the same as before. If he is willing, let him go to work in the store on Monday."
He is really confused!
No matter how much he regrets now, it's already too late.
An Jing patted her hand and winked at her: "Mom, I understand him. As long as I agree, Hongyuan won't have any objections."
Doing repetitive and boring work every day, earning a low salary, and looking at people's looks.
"Mom, just tell me if you have anything to do." Chen Guang said with a smile.
There were many people dining today, so Chen Yongchang bought a few bottles of wine to keep the fun going, but most of them were drank by Chen Ming.
"If the second brother really repented, then let him go to work in the store. The whole family doesn't need to be so clear about it."
After all, they are parents, and Jing Jing can understand after becoming a mother.
"By the way, I have something to tell you." Chen Mei put down her bowls and chopsticks and looked at everyone, mainly to tell her two sons the news.
He hopes to be able to carve out a niche for himself in the factory, and he will persevere no matter how difficult it is.
Jing Jing is her daughter, so she will definitely not refuse her, but the hotpot restaurant belongs to Hongyuan. Wouldn't it be wrong if Chen Ming did something like that again?
"Mom, do you want to talk about your second brother?" Jing Jing revealed her thoughts in one sentence.
While they were all chatting and watching TV in the living room, Chen Mei called An Jing to her room.
Jing Jing was just about to agree when she heard Chen Mei continue: "I know this matter is also very difficult for you, and it's hard to explain to Hongyuan. Could you please go and talk to him for mom's sake?"
"Mom, what's going on?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence.
If I had known earlier, I would not have asked him. Now I have to talk to my mother. Being the middleman is also very tiring, okay?
He found it difficult to accept leaving his comfort zone and starting over in a strange place.
Chen Mei was a little worried, and she was about to say something but was interrupted by An Jing.
No matter what, she couldn't just watch her children's lives get better one by one, so Chen Ming could be depressed all day long.
What's more, the eldest brother has now reached the position of store manager. Seeing that life is getting better and better, he is even more anxious.
We also had dinner together. Chen Mei was very happy. This family had not been so lively for a long time.
Later, Chen Mei said: "If you don't want to go, then you can live in the small courtyard at home by yourself. We are all going to go anyway, and no one will probably find out if you get sick."
Liu Zhen thought for a while and said doubtfully: "Mom, do you mean you will never come back again?"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you after I finish asking." Chen Mei's happy face was filled with smiles.
At her age, she has no big dreams to pursue. Her only wish is for her family to be happy and healthy.
I couldn't be more satisfied with this son-in-law.
"Anyway, I'll go wherever Quiet and the others are, and we won't force you. You decide for yourself."
But he had to do it. Now that everyone was out, he naturally didn't want to go back to the village.
What Chen Mei said was a bit harsh. What she fears and worries most about when she gets old is her own body.
Although he is still in good health now, given his age, there is no doubt that he will no longer be able to work one day.
The two sons are here, but their abilities are limited, they have to take care of their own small families and go to work, so they have no time to take care of this old man.
When his wife is no longer around, he may not even have anyone to take care of him.
He thought about it and finally decided to follow his daughter. After all, his daughter and son-in-law were both good-tempered people and their financial conditions were better.
