Chapter 572: Helping Auntie Solve Her Problems with Practical Actions
After Zhou Cai hung up the phone with Jiang Jiawen, she contacted Zhou Rong and asked her how to persuade the two "rebellious sons" in the family.
Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun, the twin boy and girl, were very well-behaved and obedient when they were young. However, the two older ones, Jiang Jiacheng and Jiang Jiaxin, were naughty and mischievous, which was in sharp contrast to the two younger ones, so everyone in the family favored the younger ones.
I never thought that when the children grew up, everything turned out to be the opposite. The two older ones were calm and self-reliant and did not cause any worries to the family.
The two younger ones became more and more rebellious. They often hid together to mutter bad ideas and cover for each other. They often went to video halls and dance halls behind their family's backs. They were scolded several times by their father, who closed down those places before they behaved themselves for a while.
Later, when they were applying for college, their family wanted them to apply to Jiangcheng University, which was closer to home and where they could be looked after. However, they agreed on the surface, but secretly changed their application to a place as far away as Shanghai.
Now he's even playing the "runaway" trick. Zhou Cai feels depressed when she thinks about these things...
Zhou Rong relayed to Zhou Cai what she had said to Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun, and she also told them how they were almost cheated on the train.
Zhou Cai said fearfully, "Fortunately they were not tricked into getting off the train midway, and you picked them up at the exit, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Big sister, thank you!"
Zhou Rong: "They are a bit lucky. When they return, talk to them honestly, listen to their true thoughts, and tell them all your concerns. Don't hide them.
As parents, we cannot talk about our own sufferings every day, but we cannot help but talk about them either.
Mentioning it occasionally can let children know how difficult it is for us, and they can think twice before doing anything and take our feelings into consideration.
You have protected Jiawen and Lijun too well. They are ignorant of the sufferings of the world and are inevitably self-centered when doing things.
My factory has a lot of chores to deal with and I'm in need of help. Do you have any objections to us helping me for a few days and experiencing the hardships of life?"
Zhou Cai: "No problem, Big Sister, just give me orders! After listening to you, I also feel that I fed them too much back then, which caused them to do these things out of boredom and make everyone worry.
Sister, please assign them more heavy and strenuous tasks so that they can stretch their muscles and have less time to do messy things. "
Zhou Rong: "No problem!"
With Zhou Cai's instructions, Zhou Rong ordered Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun to act without any mercy.
Not only were the two asked to help organize materials and recruit employees, they were also asked to move goods, and they even participated in planting trees and building roads.
The reason Zhou Rong gave was that the factory could not be officially opened until the greening and roads were completed. More hands mean more strength. Now my aunt is worried about the opening of the factory. As the younger generation, how can you just sit there and watch?
We must take practical actions to help my aunt solve her problems!
Auntie has said so much, how could Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun have any excuse to refuse?
The two could only help Zhou Rong do all kinds of odd jobs and hard work...
Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun belong to the "moonlight clan" and have no habit of saving money. This time they came to Pengcheng, they only brought a few dozen yuan, and they have almost spent it all.
After Zhou Rong learned about this, in order to train the two people, he did not cover their food expenses on the grounds that adults should be self-reliant. He just let them live in his home and paid them 5 yuan for a day's work. If they did not work, they would not get any money, and their wages were settled on a daily basis.
They were told to arrange their own food and tell Jiang Jiaxin not to help them.
If Zhou Rong hadn't been worried that these two people wouldn't be smart enough and would be easily cheated if they lived outside, and it would be difficult to explain to their parents, he wouldn't even provide them with accommodation...
Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun couldn't bear it after working for a few days and wanted to ask for leave. Zhou Rong turned into a political teacher and gave them a lecture, telling them that only those who endure hardships can become successful people, that no job is easy, and that they should love what they do and see it through to the end.
Then she played the family card, saying that she had few trustworthy people in Pengcheng, and that if Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun, as her nephews and nieces, didn't help her, her factory would probably not be able to open.
The two of them couldn't handle it at all, so they had to work hard to reduce Zhou Rong's "sermons"...
After working like slaves for Zhou Rong for more than half a month and not having enough food to eat, Jiang Jiawen and Jiang Lijun became dark and thin, and missed their carefree days in Jiangcheng very much.
After receiving Zhou Rong's call, Zhou's father and mother, who had come to Pengcheng to meet up with the couple, saw the two of them, but they didn't recognize them for a moment, mainly because they looked so different from when they saw them during the Chinese New Year.
At that time, the two men were fair-skinned and slightly plump, but now they stood in front of him like farmers who worked in the fields all year round, completely unlike the same person.
Jiang Lijun saw that Zhou's father and mother didn't recognize her after she called out several times, so she said disappointedly: "Grandpa and grandma, have I become very ugly now? So ugly that you don't recognize me anymore?"
As an old hand, Zhou's mother would not admit that she did not recognize her granddaughter. She held Jiang Lijun's hand and said with a smile, "It's not true. Don't talk nonsense! You will always be the most beautiful in our hearts!"
Jiang Lijun was a little unconvinced and asked, "Grandma, then tell me, what is my name?"
Seeing his mother pause, Zhou Rong hurried to help: "Lijun, how can you joke with grandma like this? Grandma has always engraved your and Jiawen's names in her heart."
Mother Zhou: "That's right! Lijun is my favorite child. No one can compare to you in my heart. Look at you sweating from the heat. Come on, grandma will buy you a soda!"
Jiang Lijun smiled happily when she heard this, and took Zhou's mother's arm and said, "No need for grandma to treat me, I am a working and earning money person after all, I will treat you and grandpa to a soda."
Zhou's mother: "Okay, we'll take advantage of our granddaughter today."
Zhou Qing'an and his team's base was not far from Pengcheng. Zhou Rong called Liang Jingyi and asked her if she had time to take the children to Hong Kong for a few days.
Zhou Xinxin, Zhou Jipeng and Zhou Jifei are on summer vacation and are a headache because they make a lot of noise at home every day. Liang Jingyi said that she has to go to work and can't leave. If it is convenient, can she let the three children live in Pengcheng for a while.
Zhou Rong said it was no problem, and after meeting Zhou Xinxin and her two siblings, he issued passes to everyone.
After getting the documents, Zhou Rong took everyone to Hong Kong.
Everyone was amazed by the prosperity of Hong Kong. The streets lined with tall buildings and double-decker trams amazed Zhou Jipeng and Zhou Jifei, who kept saying, "Wow, what tall buildings! What tall trams!"
Zhou Xinxin felt that the two were embarrassing themselves and repeatedly stressed that they should not "make a fuss" and that they should keep their curiosity to themselves. But it was no use as the two still bursts of exclamations came out of their mouths.
Zhou Xinxin felt a little disgusted with them, but was also afraid that they would get lost, so she held their hands tightly.
Zhou Rong was very satisfied with Zhou Xinxin's behavior. In order to praise her, he bought her several sets of beautiful clothes, which made Zhou Xinxin very happy. She took better care of her two naughty brothers...
