Chapter 1068: Since We Are All One Family, We Naturally Must Contribute When There Is Trouble

Hearing this, Xiao Wanxia's eyes immediately lit up: "That's right! How did I not think of that? I was just thinking about waiting for a position to open up in the unit, not knowing how long that would take. You don't know that many dependents in the family compound are waiting for job placements, yet there are so few positions. I'll call your brother-in-law later."

It wasn't just her who wanted to join the military contingent to end their separation; Ji Kunming was even more anxious, having long desired the warmth of wife and children by his kang. His son was already three years old, yet the total time he had spent with him amounted to less than two months.

Originally, Xiao Laoyezi Xiao had advised him to wait a little longer to see if there was an opportunity to transfer back to Haidian or Shijingshan, but Ji Kunming did not want to wait any longer; he just wanted to be closer to his wife and child.

Therefore, as soon as there was an opportunity to transfer back to the capital city, he agreed immediately, thinking that at least during holidays he could return home.

Near noon, Du Juan also hurried over: "Cousin."

Liu Chuxue pulled Du Juan over as well.

Although Du Juan had met Xiao Wanxia before, they had never spoken much. Liu Chuxue smiled and said, "Du Juan, this is my paternal cousin, Xiao Wanxia. As you know, she works in the Personnel Section of our factory."

Xiao Wanxia nodded with a smile at Du Juan: "We are all one family. In the future, if you have any trouble and cannot find Chuxue, just come to the Personnel Section to find me."

Seeing the sincerity in her words, Du Juan smiled and thanked her.

Liu Chuxue also smiled and said, "Exactly. Whether it is my sister's reputation in the Personnel Section or my own in the Finance Office, most people will still show some respect. If anything comes up, just speak up; don't bear it silently on your own."

Hearing this, Du Juan was deeply moved: "Everyone knows that my cousin is Chuxue, and ever since I was transferred to work under Deputy Director Huang, she has intentionally or unintentionally always protected me, so no one dares to bully me openly."

Seeing her reaction, Liu Chuxue laughed: "Now you have gained another backer. No, wait—there is also my eldest brother-in-law; he is quite influential in the Technical Section. If you really have trouble and cannot find us, you can also go seek him out."

Hearing this, Du Juan's smile became even more brilliant: "Does this mean I can walk sideways through the factory from now on?"

They all burst into laughter.

Fu Yan Cheng, who had been chatting with Xiao Laoyezi Xiao, couldn't help but glance over a few more times; seeing his wife's face blooming like a flower, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

This small gesture naturally did not escape Xiao Laoyezi Xiao's eyes.

Just as everyone inside was chatting happily, Chun Xiao entered: "Grandfather, the meals in the kitchen are ready."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao said cheerfully, "I've been smelling the aroma and craving it for quite some time. Let us all move to the dining area."

Liu Chuxue saw Qiu Jinzhou coming out of the kitchen: "Uncle, you worked hard today."

Qiu Jinzhou's cooking skills were excellent, so upon entering the courtyard that morning, he went straight to the kitchen. He did this firstly because he genuinely wanted to help, and secondly to show the Xiao family his attitude; after all, he had not taken good care of Nian Chun, allowing her to suffer successive heavy blows. Even if he had his difficulties, he ultimately could not shirk his responsibility.

Earlier, Liu Chuxue had not seen Qiu Jinzhou and had intended to ask her own aunt, but feared there might be some underlying issue that would upset her aunt again, so she held her tongue, planning to ask her cousin privately later. She had not expected her uncle to be helping in the kitchen.

Seeing Liu Chuxue speak this way, Qiu Jinzhou said, "We are all one family; when there is something to be done, naturally we must contribute our effort."

At this moment, her own brother-in-law also walked out from the kitchen: "Exactly, what Uncle said is right."

Just then, Fu Yan Cheng happened to walk up behind Liu Chuxue and teased, "Uncle, Brother-in-law, are you setting an example for me? I will join in from now on as well."
