Luo Zhiyong couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing her talk so much and think so far ahead, "All right, all right, your son and daughter are only four months old, and you’re already talking about getting a daughter-in-law. I’m impressed. If you don’t find it exhausting, go ahead and partner up with Uncle Zeng and the others. When the weekend comes and it’s time off, I’ll come to help you guys out. I may have read and written books, so I may not be good at other things, but I sure can help you crunch the numbers." Hearing this, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but laugh, "Right, if it really doesn’t work out, this big and sturdy guy can go and carry some goods for me, can’t let all this muscle go to waste." As she spoke, Fang Pingying even pinched his solid arm laughing. "Fine," said Luo Zhiyong after he finished talking, giving her a helpless glare. Under Fang Pingying’s guidance, Luo Zhiyong changed Yaoyao’s diaper. The little one felt comfortable now and was happy, looking at Fang Pingying lying on the bed, babbling wanting to go into Fang Pingying’s arms. As soon as Fang Pingying took her, the little Ruirui on the bed also woke up, opening his big eyes and staring at mom and sister. Fang Pingying pretended not to see him, just playing with Yaoyao in her arms, and the little one, feeling jealous, suddenly burst into loud cries. Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying both laughed out loud. Fang Pingying asked Luo Zhiyong to take Yaoyao out first, and let Sister-in-law Zhou cook breakfast while she got up to dress Ruirui. She had intended to sleep a little longer, but with this little one fussing, she couldn’t sleep anymore. This is just what it’s like for mothers with children; they can’t sleep when their children don’t, and they must wake up when their children do. After dressing Ruirui, Fang Pingying also got herself ready and went to the living room. Cheng Fei slept in the living room last night. By the time Fang Pingying came out, Cheng Fei had already woken up. He had folded the blanket he used on the sofa neatly and placed it on the side of the sofa. Seeing Fang Pingying come out, Cheng Fei smiled and greeted, "Sister-in-law," and then he reached out to hold Ruirui. Ruirui and Yaoyao usually were often held and played with by Sister-in-law Zhou and Luo Honglan in the shop; they saw so many people every day. Although they didn’t quite recognize Cheng Fei yet, they were not shy with strangers and loved to dive into Cheng Fei’s arms, asking to be held by him. Seeing Cheng Fei’s skilled way of holding the child, and remembering that he had a child of his own at home, Fang Pingying smiled and said, "You play with your nephew for a while; I’ll go cook breakfast." Sister-in-law Zhou was always an early riser. Previously, when Luo Zhiyong was not at home, she would generally help Fang Pingying look after the children in the mornings, and breakfast would sometimes be made by Fang Pingying or brought over by Luo Honglan. These days, with Luo Zhiyong being at home more often and helping Fang Pingying with getting the children out of bed and such, Aunt Zhou took on the morning breakfast. When Fang Pingying got to the kitchen, Sister-in-law Zhou had already cooked the pancakes and was making soup. Seeing that Sister-in-law Zhou was just boiling a few vegetables in the soup, making it look plain and clear, Fang Pingying took out a few eggs and a piece of meat from the fridge and handed them to Sister-in-law Zhou, "Sister-in-law Zhou, let’s not skimp on our food, try to make it better. If we’re short on living expenses, just ask me for it." "Okay," Sister-in-law Zhou agreed with a smile, "I thought about cleaning your stomachs this morning, so I didn’t make much." Fang Pingying nodded with a smile, then whispered to Sister-in-law Zhou, "Cleaning the stomach is good, but there are guests today, so please make some more." Once breakfast was ready, Sister-in-law Zhou hurriedly ate in the kitchen and then went to check on the children. Luo Zhiyong, Fang Pingying, and the three of them sat at the table to eat breakfast. While urging Cheng Fei to eat more, Fang Pingying asked him, "Cheng Fei, what kind of work do you want to do?" Cheng Fei, not knowing much about city affairs, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sister-in-law, actually, I don’t mind what job it is, as long as there’s work to do." "If you want something more relaxed, I can ask someone to get you a job in a factory. It’s more stable there, but the hours might be long," Fang Pingying explained the city affairs to him, giving him a choice, "If you go to the lumber mill Brother Zhiyong recommended to you, the conditions aren’t as good as the factory’s, but you could earn a bit more money each month. Decide for yourself, which place do you think is better?" "Brother Zhiyong, what do you think is best for me?" Cheng Fei, still undecided, turned to ask Luo Zhiyong, "I don’t know much about city affairs, so give me some advice." Luo Zhiyong thought it over, and feeling that based on Cheng Fei’s personality, working in a factory would be more suitable. Besides, Li Shunsheng was there now, and he still didn’t know about Luo Honglan’s situation; he hadn’t given up on the marriage arrangement and would come by occasionally to see Luo Honglan. Luo Honglan, not yet wanting her family to know about her situation with Chen Jie, hadn’t made things clear to Li Shunsheng. Read full story at novel-fire.ɴet Luo Zhiyong didn’t want Li Shunsheng to have any contact with Cheng Fei in the future, so he advised him, "Cheng Fei, if you plan to work long-term in the city, better go to the factory. They provide food and lodging, stable work, and the salary isn’t too bad." Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei immediately smiled and said, "Well, I’ll listen to Brother Zhiyong and go to the factory." Fang Pingying nodded. She had spoken to Zeng Weiguo the night before about arranging for Cheng Fei to work at his factory. At Zeng Weiguo’s, there would at least be someone to look out for him. And although Cheng Fei was timid, he had a good nature and was reliable, so working in a factory was quite suitable. After breakfast, since Fang Pingying was going to see Zeng Weiguo about supermarket matters, she had Cheng Fei carry some things and go with her. When Fang Pingying and Cheng Fei arrived at Zeng Weiguo’s place, Zeng Weiguo and Juzi were already waiting at the factory gate. Fang Pingying went up to greet them and introduced Cheng Fei to them. Zeng Weiguo was aware of some situations at the Luo Family’s home and the outrageous affairs of Luo Zhi, so upon hearing it was a relative of the Luo Family, he couldn’t help being a bit cautious. He didn’t arrange for Cheng Fei to work in the workshop and planned to have him start out as a security guard at the gate to see how reliable Cheng Fei was before assigning him. However, Zeng Weiguo was also thorough in his considerations. Before arranging Cheng Fei’s job, he pulled Fang Pingying aside and candidly shared his concerns with her. After all, the workshop was a specialized production area with many women. If someone like Luo Zhi were placed there, Zeng Weiguo feared it could lead to all sorts of trouble. Currently, there were only four men working at the gate, so no issues should arise. Although Fang Pingying had said she wouldn’t get involved in matters of the Luo Family, in the eyes of others, it was still her family’s business. Now, being spoken to in this way, Fang Pingying really felt ashamed. But she couldn’t blame Zeng Weiguo, as Luo Zhi indeed caused trouble wherever he went, so it was only natural for others to be cautious. This was still Zeng Weiguo offering a job due to his fairly good relationship with Fang Pingying and being upfront with her beforehand. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t want to help anyone connected to the Luo Family in the future.
