Zhang Guoqing glanced at Zhou Xiaozheng, seeing him nod slightly before speaking up, "Uncle, I’ll just share my thoughts, take it as casual words and don’t take it to heart." After pondering for a moment, he said, "A girl’s job depends on your hopes for her. If you want her to be steady, then the supply and marketing cooperative and textile factory are good options. With a high school diploma and some connections, the job assigned won’t involve hard labor. This is the safest route. If you want her to make a name for herself in the future, given her personality, as long as she is cautious with sensitive topics and avoids falling into traps set by others, then the Women’s Federation is a good choice. It’s leisurely and respectable. As she handles more matters, she’ll understand a lot about social interactions, which will benefit her future. If she is outstanding and with a high school diploma, she has the advantage and the hope for promotion, blending into administration, with room to retreat or advance. This era is the best time, the Women’s Federation has considerable power. Once she finds satisfaction in her achievements, she’ll naturally strive harder. As for the Art Troupe, it’s not suitable for her. She’s too straightforward, easily offending people. Those in the Art Troupe are either well-connected or skilled in singing and dancing. Beautiful girls often carry an air of pride, making interactions and integration difficult. Besides, even if she enters, when retiring, she still faces the issue of choosing a job. I think auntie’s Women’s Federation fits well." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 Zhao Dashan deeply pondered his words, the analysis was piercingly accurate. He looked up at Zhou Xiaozheng, seeing him also nod, he took a deep breath, "Brother Zheng, you heard him, that’s Xiao Wu." Zhou Xiaozheng curled his lips, feigning humility as he said, "He’s just a child, just listen to his words as a reference. Not worth praising." Zhao Dashan rolled his eyes fiercely at him, "Just show off then, secretly laugh. Ah, let’s have a drink, kids grow up and there’s endless worry." Then he shouted outside, "Hong Li, just serve whatever dish first, let us drink well." Cheng Hongli set out the dishes and drinks, Zhao Dashan first toasted Zhou Xiaozheng with a bowl of wine, "Come on, Brother Zheng, drink it all in one go. Here’s to brothers being alive to reunite, cheers." After drinking, he poured another cup and toasted Zhang Guoqing with a bowl of wine, "Come on, Xiao Wu, uncle won’t be formal with you, you too drink it all in one go, uncle thanks you for showing the way." After two bowls of wine, he opened up the topic, "Brother Zheng, I really envy you, how come you haven’t changed all these years? Look at my belly, my figure is all out of shape. You and Xiao Wu going out look just like two brothers." Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at him sideways, sarcastically curling his lips, "You have all the fat in your belly, means life is comfortable. Red Pepper has pampered you up a notch, like fattening a pig. Want to have a physique like mine? You’re hopeless, wait for the next life. Brother is an evergreen." Zhao Dashan refuted defiantly, "Evergreen, huh, you have grandchildren now, you’re just a little old man. Don’t be smug, now that you’re back, let’s see if you gain weight. Back from this mission, you won’t go out again, right? Take it easy, you now have a big family." "Not going, any tasks that can’t be taken, I won’t accept. Truly aged, entering middle age, don’t have that young drive anymore. Spend quality time with the wife and kids, I’ve owed them too much over the years." Zhao Dashan empathized and agreed, "Yeah, my sister-in-law has had it rough, you’ve gained honors but she still endured alone all these years. No matter what, for this sentiment alone, you should treat her well. And Jiao Jiao, this child, without you around, has suffered quite a bit over these years. Luckily, Xiao Wu has been protecting her." Zhou Xiaozheng, upon hearing this, sighed, "Yeah, owed them mother and daughter too much. Seeing the child’s mom, she cried like a child until she fainted. My heart ached. Returning and seeing Jiao Jiao, my heart hurt even more, this child crying continuously saying incoherently, ’Dad, why are you only back now?’ In my heart, it was so bittersweet, they say men don’t easily shed tears, but I couldn’t hold back mine. Especially thinking of all these years, her being alone miserably, bullied by my relatives. It’s suffocating and unbearable, that’s my daughter, precious like a jewel. How could they? How dare they? In these 17 years, I’ve been extremely cautious, fearing my sacrifice would make her truly a fatherless child. Yet still living without a father or mother, just like an orphan." Having said that, Zhou Xiaozheng vigorously rubbed his face with both hands. Zhao Dashan patted his shoulder, "It’s all in the past, now you’re back, treat her twice as nice, that child is sensible, hasn’t deviated over the years. Children from poor families are quick to take charge, just take it as an opportunity to refine her. Look, she’s now more outstanding than peers, who sees her doesn’t give a thumbs up?"
