Zhou Zichen and Tian Huizhen returned to the house. Mu Chunhua was still sitting on the sofa crying. When he saw two people coming in, he quickly asked: "Boss Zhou, Huizhen, is he gone?"
"Mom, my dad left. Zichen gave him 130,000 yuan and asked him to pay off the debt." Tian Huizhen said.
Mu Chunhua glanced at the hands that Zhou Zichen and Tian Huizhen were still holding together. She didn't know what the relationship between Zhou Zichen and Tian Huizhen was, but Zhou Zichen looked very rich at first glance. This orphanage was so big. In her opinion,
Come, the decoration here can be said to be luxurious. I always feel that Zhou Zichen is the kind of rich man who is far away from them: "Boss Zhou, thank you! Thank you! We will definitely pay you back."
Mu Chunhua said that he was about to bow. Zhou Zichen quickly let go of Tian Huizhen's hand and went up to support Mu Chunhua: "Auntie, don't be polite to me. It's okay if you don't pay back the money. When Huizhen makes money in the future, there will be
I'll discuss with her and pay back the excess. Besides, if she hadn't helped me, I wouldn't be able to manage the orphanage."
"Boss Zhou, this is not allowed. We can just take your money!" Mu Chunhua is still very satisfied with Zhou Zichen. If Tian Huizhen really marries Zhou Zichen, she is absolutely willing, but she is afraid that Zhou Zichen will see it.
If you are not good enough for your own daughter, you are just wishful thinking.
Zhou Zichen asked Mu Chunhua to sit down: "Auntie, don't worry about these things. By the way, don't call me Boss Zhou. My name is Zhou Zichen. You can call me by my name, or Xiao Zhou or Zichen."
.”
Calling him by name seemed disrespectful, especially a three-character name; calling him Xiao Zhou was more like an elder addressing a junior, a leader addressing a subordinate. Mu Chunhua hesitated for a long time before nodding: "Okay... okay!...
Zichen."
Seeing that Mu Chunhua was still nervous, Zhou Zichen got up and went to pour water: "Huizhen, you and auntie are talking first. The water is cold. I'll get some boiled water."
Zhou Zichen walked to the water dispenser and could vaguely hear Mu Chunhua and Tian Huizhen asking about him.
Zhou Zichen can understand that the Tian family is not rich to begin with, and can even be said to be poor. Mu Chunhua has only been working in the fields all his life. Before this, the farthest place he has been to is probably the city. His horizons are limited.
When I went to the orphanage, I felt that I was amazing. If it was Zhou Zichen in the past, he might really think that there is such an orphanage. But now, in Zhou Zichen's view, this orphanage is actually nothing. In the future, there will be no orphanage.
There will be more orphanages like this to give children abandoned by their parents a better destination.
Zhou Zichen walked over with boiling water, and Mu Chunhua quickly stopped talking.
Zhou Zichen refilled the boiling water for everyone: "Don't Huizhen have a younger brother? Didn't his younger brother come over this time?"
I don’t know what Tian Huizhen said to Mu Chunhua, which made Mu Chunhua feel more comfortable: "He came, but he didn’t want to see his father. After he came, Huizhen arranged for him to sleep. This time we came by car, and he
I didn’t sleep well either.”
"That's it! There's no holiday yet, it's almost the New Year, and he will have the college entrance examination in the first semester next year. Have you made arrangements?" Zhou Zichen calculated and found that it is already early winter and school is still in session, but Tian Xiaoliang came to Jiangdong.
City, either suspending school or asking for leave. Just now, Tian Huizhen asked Mu Chunhua to stay. She took care of her mother and younger brother by herself. Then the issue of Tian Xiaoliang's schooling must be a problem.
Now Tian Xiaoliang has been studying for one semester in the senior year of high school. If he wants to insert a student into a senior class, he will definitely not be able to do it without some abilities. After all, both the teacher and the school want a higher admission rate.
Mu Chunhua didn't know how troublesome these things were, but Tian Huizhen knew: "I just thought about it, and I will go find a private school another day to see if I can put my brother in it now. After the New Year, I will study for only one semester."
When he takes the college entrance examination, he will definitely go to university. I will just send him money every month. I will rent a house here for my mother and let her live there first."
"When I go to work as a sanitation worker, I asked the sister just now and she said that sanitation workers can earn more than a thousand yuan a month and there are no requirements." Mu Chunhua said with a smile.
It seems that all this is a good arrangement for the somewhat down-and-out mother and daughter.
Zhou Zichen thought for a while and said: "The sanitation workers are too hard. They have to get up at four or five in the morning, and the salary is not high. Let my aunt work in the orphanage! The salary can be the same as everyone else."
Zhou Zichen did not offer a higher salary, not because he was reluctant, but because he wanted to leave some of his dignity to them.
Even if Mu Chunhua was given ten thousand a month, Zhou Zichen could afford it, but it would be more like a charity.
According to the normal market price, Mu Chunhua and Tian Huizhen would feel more at ease with their wages, because they were earned through their own labor.
In fact, as long as Zhou Zichen is here, they won't have much financial difficulties. Just like Tian Zhiyong's matter, Zhou Zichen will help without them having to ask.
Tian Huizhen knew Zhou Zichen's good intentions, but she was in charge of the orphanage. She knew the situation of the orphanage very well: "Zichen, there is no shortage of manpower in the orphanage now."
Although Zhou Zichen doesn't care about the orphanage, detective agency or construction company, reports from these three places are given once a week, and there are inventory reports every quarter. Zhou Zichen reads them all: "Help wash and cut vegetables in the kitchen."
Didn’t Aunt Zhang, who cooks the dishes, take three months’ sick leave? There’s no one to help now, so I’ll let Auntie do the work first.”
"Now let's help and be busy. What will happen when Aunt Zhang comes back?" Tian Huizhen didn't want others to say that she used her authority to arrange work for her mother, and she was also afraid that others would say something bad about her mother.
Zhou Zichen had already thought about it: "Uncle Chen, who distributes dishes to the children, will reach retirement age in five months. Let Aunt Zhang come and take her place. Anyway, Aunt Zhang is not in good health. I will give it to her then.
Uncle Chen has gone through the retirement procedures. If he still wants to stay, let him stay. Don't arrange too tiring work. Let him be the doorman at the door. Arrange the doormen into three shifts, each person eight hours, and the salary is
No matter what, Uncle Chen’s salary will be the same as Grandpa Li’s.”
Although Zhou Zichen doesn't care about anything, whether it's an orphanage, a detective agency, or a construction company, he always has a ledger in his mind, and he knows exactly what it looks like.
In this way, Mu Chunhua's position is the most tiring. Aunt Zhang, who is on vacation, does not have to wash or chop vegetables. She only needs to serve the children and wash the dishes. It is easier than the previous work;
Uncle Chen, who originally divided the dishes, also made a proper arrangement.
Tian Huizhen did not expect that Zhou Zichen never asked about the orphanage, but he knew so much about the orphanage, and all the arrangements took care of the specific situation of the people at that time.
And under such circumstances, if his mother is brought in, others will have nothing to say.
My mother is only forty and almost fifty, and she has been doing farm work all year round. The tasks of washing and chopping vegetables in the orphanage can be completed in three or four hours. For her, it is actually very easy. If she takes the time to help, it will be even more difficult.
It's relaxed, at least many times more relaxed than sanitation workers, the salary is higher, and you won't be criticized.
"Okay, aunt's work will be arranged like this first. Your brother's schooling must also be arranged as soon as possible, at least before the second semester of senior high school starts tomorrow. If you make the arrangements yourself, it will definitely cost a lot of money. I
Let me ask you if I can arrange to go to a public school and what are your brother's grades like?" Zhou Zichen asked.
Before Tian Huizhen could speak, Mu Chunhua had already rushed to say: "Xiao Liang has good grades. He is studying in No. 1 Middle School in our county, and his grades are among the top five in the school. Among all students in our county, he is ranked among the top ten."
When Mu Chunhua said this, there was a smile on his face. It was pride, and he was proud of his son.
Seeing Mu Chunhua's smile, Zhou Zichen was also happy for her. Although her marriage may be unfortunate and her life is not rich, she has raised a pair of good children: "Xiao Liang's grades are so good, so there should be no problem, let alone the capital.
The two most powerful universities and the top ten universities in the country should have no problem. Teachers are willing to have such students."
Tian Huizhen is confident in keeping Tian Xiaoliang because of his good grades. As long as he does not have any problems with his performance, even if his study progress is slowed down these days, he will definitely be fine with one book.
When Mu Chunhua saw that Zhou Zichen also thought his son was awesome, he suddenly became more cheerful and started to talk more slowly.
"Zi Chen, let me tell you, Xiao Liang has won many awards for studying and has many red notebooks."
Zhou Zichen smiled and said: "Auntie, are you talking about the certificate?"
"That's right, I don't even understand what the certificate is. I went to elementary school and I can't recognize many words."
"Auntie, let me tell you, when I was studying..."
Mu Chunhua and Zhou Zichen were chatting. Tian Huizhen already knew this very well, but seeing the two people chatting happily and listening to it with great interest, she couldn't help thinking: "It would be great if it could always be like this in the future, mother, son."
Chen, Xiaoliang, I...and maybe my father..."
Under Zhou Zichen's arrangement, Mu Chunhua and Tian Xiaoliang first lived in the orphanage. Anyway, the orphanage had many houses.
During lunch, Zhou Zichen told the story about Mu Chunhua coming to work. In case Tian Huizhen was worried, he also told the rest of the staff about their upcoming work arrangements.
In fact, the staff at the orphanage don't think that much. Zhou Zichen has many people, and everyone's work is not too heavy. Tian Huizhen is a college student, and she is always nice to everyone, and the people in the orphanage also respect her. She is basically her.
Just worrying too much.
Tian Xiaoliang followed him out to eat. He was a shy and polite boy who called everyone uncle or aunt. But when he saw Zhou Zichen sitting with his sister, he didn't know what to call him after holding it in for a long time.
"He is your brother-in-law!" a staff member who watched Zhou Zichen grow up joked.
"Yes, Xiaoliang, don't you know? Now the entire orphanage belongs to your sister and brother-in-law."
Tian Huizhen blushed for a while when she was told this and wanted to refute.
Zhou Zichen is used to it. Many of these people have watched him grow up and have worked in orphanages for decades. They also made such jokes when they came here before, but they don't think it's anything.
Seeing the reactions of Tian Huizhen and Zhou Zichen, Tian Xiaoliang really believed it: "Brother-in-law!"
"Ah..." Zhou Zichen didn't expect Tian Xiaoliang to actually call out, and he didn't know whether to respond or not. Normally, it would be fine if he responded as a joke. After all, Mu Chunhua was still around now.
"Ha ha……"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from all around: "Zichen, we all think that you and Huizhen are quite suitable. You should get married as soon as possible."
"That's right, we are still waiting to eat your wedding candies."
"Sister Chunhua, Zichen is the treasure of our orphanage. You must hurry up. Many people are rushing to get it!"
