Zhong Tianyang's home is located in the courtyard of Dongzhou Iron and Steel Factory. It is an old-fashioned three-story building. Zhong Tianyang lives on the first floor.
Because it is the family yard of his own factory, in front of Zhong Tianyang's house, there is a yard that is half an acre in size. In the yard, various flowers and plants are planted.
As the natal family of the hardware machinery factory, the status of Dongzhou Iron and Steel Factory is much stronger than that of the hardware machinery factory.
"Uncle, you're back." When Zhong Tianyang opened the door to his small courtyard, a chubby little body rushed towards him.
Facing his chubby nephew, Zhong Tianyang had a smile on his face. He picked up his little nephew, kissed his chubby face heavily, and then said with a smile: "Xiaodong, have you obeyed me today?
?”
"Uncle, Xiaodong is very polite every day." The little nephew, less than three years old, is very smart. He answered Zhong Tianyang's question in a sweet voice.
After hearing these words, Zhong Tianyang's originally unhappy mood suddenly improved a lot.
At this moment, two women came over. One was Zhong Tianyang's wife Chen Juan, a middle school teacher in her forties who looked gentle and elegant. The other was Zhong Tianyang's sister.
Since the death of her brother-in-law, Zhong Tianyang's sister Zhong Qing has basically been dependent on Zhong Tianyang's family. Now Zhong Qing works at the broadcast station of the main factory and is not too busy every day.
"Tian Yang, you said there are guests at home today? What kind of guests?" Chen Juan and Zhong Tianyang have been married for so many years. It can be said that they are extremely familiar with every move of their husband.
She could feel that Zhong Tianyang was not happy, so she asked with concern.
Zhong Tianyang said: "It's Shen Lin, the young man who discovered that Xiaodong was abducted. He is coming over."
"You should be happy when someone is coming over!" Chen Juan and Aunt Zhong Qing had a very good relationship. Because of Xiaodong's loss, she often cried with Zhong Qing.
Now that Xiaodong has been found, she is equally grateful to Shen Lin.
But she didn't expect that her husband would be unhappy to have some of his benefactors come to visit him at home.
The loving smile quickly disappeared.
Zhong Qing has always respected her brother, but what he just said made her feel a little hurt.
"Where are you thinking? It's not that I'm not happy about him coming to the house, but I feel like I've misjudged the person."
Zhong Tianyang hugged Xiaodong and said softly: "When I gave him money to express my gratitude, I felt that he was a good young man who sacrificed himself for others and asked for nothing in return."
"But I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would come to my door and ask me to help him. And judging from the tone of his words, it seems that asking me to help is not a small matter."
Having said this, Zhong Tianyang shook his head and said, "So, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"You feel that you have misjudged the person, but that's fine. I think it's a good thing that he comes to you at this time and we return the favor."
Chen Juan smiled and said: "As long as what he asks for is not excessive, just give him a favor. From now on, we won't owe him anything."
"Xiaodong and Zhong Qing don't have to keep thinking that they need to repay his kindness."
Zhong Qingze said: "Brother, are you too sensitive? Although I haven't talked to Shen Lin much, I don't think he is that kind of person."
Speaking of this, Zhong Qing hesitated and said: "He came to my door asking for help at this time. I think he must have encountered something difficult to solve."
Listening to his sister's words, Zhong Tianyang also showed a smile on his face and said: "He's coming anyway, let's see what he wants to do, right?"
"As I said before, as long as it doesn't violate the principles and can be done for him, I will definitely do it for him. If it violates the principles, then I will only feel sorry for him."
While Zhong Tianyang was talking to his family, Shen Lin had already brought Lu Xiaorong to the family courtyard. Looking at the rows of big houses with three or four stories high and wide spacing between the floors, Lu Xiaorong's face showed A look of envy.
Although she is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, as someone who has always lived in Tongzilou, she naturally has a natural yearning for big houses.
"Shen Lin, when do you think we can live in a house like this?" Looking at the beautiful flowers in the garden, Lu Xiaorong couldn't help but ask Shen Lin.
"This year." Shen Lin pondered for a moment and then gave an answer.
"Nonsense, how can we live in such a good house this year? You are clearly fooling me." Lu Xiaorong glanced at Shen Lin and said.
Shen Lin smiled and said: "I said this year, this is the year, and the place we live in is better than the place he lives in."
Having said this, Shen Lin waved his hand and said: "When our daughter is born, I must let her live in a spacious and bright little foreign-style building."
"It would be great if what you said is true." Lu Xiaorong placed his right hand on his belly and said with a hint of emotion.
Shen Lin smiled and said nothing.
Since he has made up his mind, he will naturally not give up halfway. But now, everything has not started yet, and it is useless to talk too much.
After walking through a small road, Shen Lin and the others came to the yard of Zhong Tianyang's house. At this time, Lu Xiaorong, who was following Shen Lin, suddenly blushed.
"What's wrong?" Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong and asked softly.
Lu Xiaorong hesitated and said: "It's the first time I go to someone else's house to ask for help. I feel a little embarrassed."
Shen Lin knew that his wife was unwilling to ask for help, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you wait for me to eat at the snack bar outside, and I can go there alone."
Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Lin who was smiling, gently stroked his hair and said, "I have already said, I can't let you go alone, so I will definitely go with you."
"It's okay. I'll be fine when I get there."
Shen Lin persuaded her a few more times and finally knocked on the door of Zhong Tianyang's house. The person who opened the door was Zhong Qing. When she saw Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong, the smile on her face looked extremely bright.
"Hello Shen Lin, come in quickly, this is..." Zhong Qing asked with a smile while inviting Shen Lin over.
Shen Lin introduced: "Sister Zhong, this is my wife Lu Xiaorong."
"Xiao Rong, this is Sister Zhong."
Lu Xiaorong followed Shen Lin. After hearing what Shen Lin said, he hurriedly said: "Hello, Sister Zhong, I am Lu Xiaorong."
"Xiao Rong is so beautiful. Shen Lin didn't expect you to have such a beautiful wife." Zhong Qing praised Lu Xiao Rong and then shouted to the back room: "Brother, Shen Lin and his wife are here."
Although Zhong Tianyang had some prejudice against Shen Lin in his heart, at this time, he walked out with a smile on his face.
After glancing at the handbag Shen Lin was carrying, he said, "We don't have any outsiders. You said you two are here, what else are you bringing?"
When Lu Xiaorong heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while, but Shen Lin said very naturally: "In our place, if you don't bring something as a guest, it seems not so formal."
"It's my first time coming to Brother Zhong's house, so naturally I have to follow the rules in Dongzhou."
After listening to Shen Lin's answer, Zhong Tianyang felt a little better about Shen Lin.
