"Let them be green with envy!"
Wang Guilan, "Rember what you said, don’t go behind my back encouraging Xinwang to do foolish things."
Niu Weizhen, "Mom, you can relax, I know what’s right and wrong. If Qing Qing wants to be successful in the future, she will inevitably rely on her uncle and aunt, both of whom are capable people. She wouldn’t destroy her own chances!"
In the main hall.
Luo Yanqing remained silent. ng Xingwang and his brothers were sitting properly, all too afraid to utter a word.
Kang Li sat next to Luo Yanqing, watching this scene and couldn’t help but find it funny, gently nudging Luo Yanqing.
Turning his head towards his wife, Luo Yanqing caught Kang Li’s gaze and instantly seed to understand sothing.
He cleared his throat, his gaze falling on ng Xingwang, "Do you have any skills?"
"Big... Brother, are you talking to ?"
Startled by Luo Yanqing’s question, ng Xingwang paused, and seeing that he did not speak promptly, ng Xingping casually tugged at ng Xingwang’s clothes to remind him. Mingled with disbelief, ng Xingwang finally snapped back to reality, still sowhat unsure if Luo Yanqing was really addressing him.
Luo Yanqing nodded.
ng Xingwang was a bit excited, "I... I’ve studied carpentry for three years..."
Luo Yanqing, "Did you attend school?" Before coming to the ng Family, Luo Yanqing had learned from Director Nie about the Stone Bridge Commune and Ma Wang Brigade, knowing what factories were set up in Stone Bridge Town.
With his current thoughts, he pondered whether to arrange for ng Xingwang to work at one of the factories in town.
Even if he couldn’t get a permanent job, being a temporary worker wasn’t bad either.
Earning about twenty yuan a month, it was more relaxing and cost-effective than working the fields.
ng Xingwang, "I finished elentary school."
Luo Yanqing humd in acknowledgnt, then shifted his attention to ng Xingping and ng Xingwang, "You both are already clear about your paths, but if you want to not shed your own uniforms, you need to strengthen your training, enhance your professional skills, and also improve your cultural literacy. Otherwise, getting promoted will definitely be difficult."
ng Xingping, "What big brother said, I’ll take it to heart and strive to achieve it."
ng Xingguo, "I won’t let big brother down."
Luo Yanqing, "It’s not about not letting yourselves regret or be disappointed, you’re fighting for your own futures."
His gaze moved again, Luo Yanqing looked towards the two younger ones, "You too, studying is for your own good. The knowledge you store in your brain can’t be taken away by anyone."/p>
"If you have the opportunity to sit in a classroom, you must cherish this learning opportunity. Don’t always think about playing wildly, and don’t worry about whether others are studying well. Understood?"
"Yes."
ng Xinglai and ng Xingmin nodded.
At this mont, Wang Guilan and Niu Weizhen, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, each carrying a bowl of scallion and egg noodles, walked into the main hall.
"Yanqing, this is your favorite scallion and egg noodles from when you were young. Try it and see if it still tastes the sa."
ng Xingwang set up the dining table in front of Luo Yanqing and Kang Li. Wang Guilan and her daughter-in-law set the noodle bowls properly, Wang Guilan pulling at the corner of her mouth, then spoke to Luo Yanqing.
Yet, Luo Yanqing did not respond.
Wang Guilan, holding back her emotions, turned and returned to the kitchen to bring dishes.
Niu Weizhen followed right behind.
"Mom, are you okay?
"What could be wrong with ?"
"Alright, I spoke out of turn."
"Bring the dishes over."
"Oh."
Responding, Niu Weizhen carried a dish out of the kitchen, and after a short while, she returned, picked up another dish, and left again.
Wang Guilan stood in the kitchen, motionless.
She knew that to be acknowledged by Luo Yanqing as his mother might be impossible in this lifeti; realizing this, what more could she expect?
