"As long as you know. Tomorrow I’ll ask soone about the house for you. You should also ask the older sisters at your workplace," Kong ngjie advised her brother.
"Okay, got it."
Kong ngjie arrived at her second brother’s house and saw that her younger sister and her husband were also there.
"Big sister."
"Hmm, you’re here to see the baby too? Let go in first and take a look, we’ll talk later," Kong ngjie said with a smile.
Kong ngjie was much prettier than Kong nglin, and most importantly, her calm deanor made others feel comfortable around her.
Upon entering and seeing Zheng Xiuxiang, she sighed inwardly. What does her second brother an by this? The child is already born, yet he still hasn’t married this girl?
"ngjie, you’ve co over?"
"Yes, Auntie, I ca to see my nephew. I just found out, I’ve been busy with work every day, Auntie, don’t mind ."
"It’s fine, we all know you have two kids to take care of."
Kong ngjie smiled and nodded, looking at the little child on the kang; he had already opened his eyes. After all, Zheng Xiuxiang hadn’t suffered and had been well-nourished.
"This child will definitely grow up handso."
"Hehe, all the Kong Family kids are good-looking, yours will surely be no exception."
Kong ngjie didn’t hold the baby, mainly because he was too small. Even though she had given birth to three children, they were hers; she was afraid holding soone else’s baby might scare them.
After chatting with ng Xiu Fen for a while, she took out twenty yuan and placed it beside Zheng Xiuxiang.
"I, as the aunt, didn’t buy anything for the child, Auntie, please buy sothing nice for him."
"Hehe, ngjie, you’re too polite?"
"Auntie, it’s not about being polite, it’s about what I should do. Dehong only told tonight, so I rushed over and forgot to bring so red sugar and eggs, Auntie, you’ll know what to buy."
"Okay, I’ll thank his big aunt on his behalf."
"Auntie, I won’t stay. I still have three kids at ho, I’ll co by again when I’m off work."
ng Xiu Fen warmly saw Kong ngjie out.
"ng Lin, I’m heading back. Co over for a al when you have ti."
"Hmm."
The sisters had a very cold relationship, exchanging only a few words.
"Big sister, I’ll leave with you, nothing much for to do here."
"Dehong, aren’t you waiting for your second brother?"
"Auntie, no, I’m going back to rest."
After saying that, he followed behind Kong ngjie and left.
Now, only Kong nglin and her husband were left at ho.
"You sit outside for a while, I’ll go see the baby and stay with Auntie for a bit."
Cheng Changsheng of course had no objections. Kong nglin went inside with a smile, along with ng Xiu Fen.
"Auntie, this little guy looks pretty sturdy."
"Isn’t he? This child will surely be tall in the future, look at his big bones."
"Yeah! Just like his uncle."
After Kong nglin said this, the two won in the room fell silent for a brief mont.
ng Xiu Fen realized and pulled Kong nglin aside, asking softly, "I see you and Cheng Changsheng have made up, right?"
"Yes, Auntie, your advice was good. He’s been well-behaved these days."
"That’s good. Just take care of yourself."
ng Xiu Fen whispered a lot more to Kong nglin.
They heard noise from outside; it was Kong Demin who had co back.
"Cheng Changsheng is here, where’s nglin?"
"Second brother, she’s inside with the baby."
"Have you had dinner? Let’s eat together later."
"Hmm."
ng Xiu Fen smiled, pulling Kong nglin along, "Let’s go out too, it’s ti to eat."
"Chunhua, set the table. nglin, sit with your second brother; I’ll take the al to Xiao Xiang."
ng Xiu Fen was impeccable in this regard.
"Second brother, why did you co back so early and late?"
"Work stuff, how’ve you been? Everything good at your place?"
"Not bad, work’s been pretty easy."
"Co on, let’s eat together. nglin, you’re still young, be proactive and serious about work."
"Got it, second brother, can you get a different job?"
"Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?"
"Just sothing with a higher salary."
"For won, the only high-paying jobs are in the textile factory. Do you want to go? I don’t even know if I can get you in. But that work is sure to be tough.
You see, your big sister is a team leader now, but she still has to work every day, she has to lead by example."
"Isn’t there any easy work at the textile factory?"
"Easy work? Well, you’d need to have that capability too. Jiang Xinyu is now the deputy factory director of the textile factory. She’s only a year older than you, right? But she’s a college graduate."
"I didn’t expect that brat to have such skills? Is college that easy to get into?"
Kong Demin stopped responding to his sister, she really had no sense. Quite a difference from ngjie.
"Second brother, you said Jiang Xinyu is now a deputy factory director, do you think I can ask her for a good job?"
"Why don’t you try and see?"
"Second brother, I wouldn’t have the face. You should go for ."
"I wouldn’t have the face either."
"Hmph, isn’t it just a deputy factory director? What’s the big deal? I’m an office worker now too, I’m a regular worker."
Cheng Changsheng didn’t know much about Kong nglin before, but now he realized she was just a fool.
"Behave yourself, you know you’re a regular worker now, don’t keep looking for sothing better without a stable foothold, regular workers can also be dismissed. Don’t co crying to then.
And if you’re obedient, if there’s sothing good, would I not think of you?"
"Hehe, I’ve got it. Second brother, if there’s anything good, rember us as a couple. I’m thinking of adopting a little girl in the future, so when I’m old, soone can buy snacks."
"You, you’re just like Mom. Why didn’t you buy Mom snacks? Just settle down and behave."
Kong nglin was silent. Yeah, since starting work, she had never bought snacks for her parents.
"Second brother, did you tell Mom about having a grandson? Should I go back tomorrow?"
"Your third brother told this morning that he went back last night and told them."
"That’s great then."
The Kong family’s dinner was sorghum rice porridge, flatbreads, boiled salted eggs, and stir-fried beans with at, peppers, and eggplant.
It was a pretty good dinner. Adding the couple, it was a bit scarce, so ng Xiu Fen went and made so egg pancakes.
After dinner, Kong nglin handed the money to ng Xiu Fen. "Auntie, I don’t know how to shop, you should buy it."
"nglin, you don’t need to give that much, just one is enough," ng Xiu Fen said, taking out one bill and handing the remaining four back to Kong nglin.
"Auntie, you should keep them all. Cheng Changsheng said we couldn’t give less. It’s the second brother’s son, and besides, I’m also the child’s aunt."
After a little back and forth, ng Xiu Fen finally accepted.
