Chapter 1986

Zhou Andong felt in his pocket again and took out ten yuan: "I'll buy it!"

Old Four's eyes lit up; she ran over, got the money first, and then handed the snacks to Zhou Andong.

"Dudu!"

Su Su didn't understand why Auntie gave all the delicious things to Daddy, and she hadn't eaten any yet.

Old Four giggled and said: "It's okay, Auntie will take you to buy more in a while."

Zhou Andong opened the bag and looked: "How much did you buy the popsicle for?"

"One yuan!" Old Four held up a finger: "Sold at the small shop at the intersection, creamy flavor, is it delicious?"

"Ningning!" Zhou Andong asked: "I ask you, from childhood to adulthood, is Big Brother the one who loves you the most?"

Old Four nodded: "Big Brother loves me the most."

"Right!" Zhou Andong looked distressed: "I'll tell you something; Big Brother invested in a project, a business, and lost money, lost it all, and also owed a lot, a lot of debts.

Your sister-in-law, she will soon give birth to a little niece or nephew for you, and there will be many places to use money in the future, so, in the future, when you spend money, be frugal.

For example, this one-yuan popsicle, you used to eat one every three days, but in the future, eat one a week. And these snacks, your body is not good to begin with, so don't buy them if you can, and if you can't, buy less, okay?

Don't worry, Big Brother will still work hard to earn money. When the debts are paid off, in the future, you can eat this kind of one-yuan popsicle as much as you want, and snacks, whatever you want to eat, Big Brother will buy the factory for you."

Old Four was silent for a long time before nodding: "Okay, I won't eat popsicles in the future, and I won't eat snacks either."

"This is Big Brother's good sister." Zhou Andong was happy, rubbing Old Four's head hard: "Alright, go in."

Old Four took Su Su into the courtyard and then returned to her room, not coming out until mealtime.

This girl's expression looked a bit wrong, her eyes were always dodging, but when she looked at Zhou Andong, she smiled.

Zhou Andong muttered in his heart, what kind of ghost is this girl playing.

Actually, eating popsicles was nothing; the main thing was those snacks, which absolutely couldn't let Old Four eat often.

However, under normal circumstances, wanting to control Old Four from eating those junk foods was definitely impossible.

Therefore, Zhou Andong thought of the lie about losing money in business and owing debts.

No matter how smart Old Four was, after all, she was only seven years old, and still very easy to fool.

At this time, Seeing Jian Qiu came back, and Zhou Andong helped her sit down.

"Have you eaten?"

"I have!" Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile: "I accompanied Xiao Qin to sell clothes, went back to her dormitory with her for an afternoon, and invited her and her roommates to dinner in the evening."

Zhou Andong asked: "About what she will do after graduation, whether she will go to graduate school or what, did you ask her?"

"I did!" Seeing Jian Qiu nodded: "She said she hadn't thought about it yet, and would talk about it when she thought about it; anyway, she's only a freshman, and there's plenty of time."

"That's true!" Zhou Andong put down his chopsticks: "I'm going out for a stroll to digest; are you going?"

"No!" Even if I stayed in Xiao Qin's dormitory, I'm a bit tired."

"Fine!" Zhou Andong stood up: "I'm leaving."

Saying this, he went out the door and came to that three-entry courtyard; a three-wheeled cart was parked at the gate, with several quilts on it, tied very tightly with rope.

It should be a tenant moving, so he stepped into the courtyard; it was full of trash, and many rooms were empty, clearly having already moved away.

"Zhou—Chairman Zhou!"

Zhou Andong had just come out of a room when he saw a woman in her late thirties standing in the courtyard, holding a large nylon bag in both hands, filled to the brim.

"Hello!" Zhou Andong greeted with a smile: "Haven't you finished moving yet?"

The woman hurriedly said: "I will definitely finish moving tomorrow."

Zhou Andong waved his hand: "No rush, it doesn't matter when you finish moving."

Just at this time, a middle-aged man who had lost a leg and was leaning on crutches came out from the back courtyard carrying a large package, step by step.

"Didn't I tell you to tidy up in the room, and I'll move it out?"

The woman put down the large nylon bag and went to take the package the middle-aged man was carrying.

"No need!" The middle-aged man dodged with a silly smile: "I'm a big man; even if I lost a leg, I have more strength than you."

Zhou Andong looked at the middle-aged man and asked: "You must be Chen Gui."

Chen Gui was stunned; only then did he recognize Zhou Andong, and he became nervous immediately.

"Boss Zhou, you—hello."

"No need to be nervous."

Zhou Andong was a bit helpless; did he really look that fierce?

"How many families haven't moved yet?"

"Only the two of us are left." The woman quickly stabilized her nervous emotions: "They all hired people and cars, and they all moved away in the afternoon."

Zhou Andong asked the woman: "You must be Dong Huixia."

Dong Huixia nodded vigorously, then bowed deeply to Zhou Andong, her voice choked with sobs.

"Chairman Zhou, thank you for arranging a job for me; don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

Dong Huixia was only thirty-seven, but there were already white hairs at her temples; three years ago, her husband passed away, and her sky collapsed.

If it weren't for the fact that her child wasn't an adult, and there were sick elderly people to take care of, she would have wanted to follow her husband.

Fortunately, usually Brother Chen Gui had time to help her take care of the family, making her a bit more relaxed.

Otherwise, she knew very well what Brother Chen Gui's intentions were towards her, and it wasn't that she hadn't considered it.

However, although Chen Gui was disabled, his parents were healthy, and the whole family lived by picking up trash.

Although they could barely fill their stomachs, they were much better off than her family.

She had a sixteen-year-old son, her father-in-law suffered from ankylosing spondylitis, and her mother-in-law was a medicine jar.

If she had agreed to Chen Gui, she would have pitted him and dragged his family down too.

Until that morning when Tian Liang found her and told her about Zhou Andong exchanging apartment units for them.

And it was calculated according to the rent of the large courtyard; she didn't believe it at all, even if Tian Liang guaranteed it by patting his chest, she was still half-believing.

Then, the seventeen tenants went to the backyard to ask, only to find out it was actually true.

And what Dong Huixia didn't expect was that later a man named Wang Wentian found her and Chen Gui.

He told them that Zhou Andong wanted to arrange jobs for them, and there were several places for them to choose from.

Grand Mart, Qiu Dongfang, a subsidiary of Yuxi Real Estate, and Jinghua Electric, which was being renovated.

In the end, they chose Qiu Dongfang, not because it was a foreign company, nor because the salary was high, but because the working hours were stable, eight to five, which was convenient for taking care of the elderly at home.

Then, Wang Wentian took them to Qiu Dongfang and arranged them into logistics.

Dong Huixia entered the cafeteria, with a basic salary of five hundred, and counting the bonus, it was six hundred twenty or thirty every month.

And Chen Gui was arranged in the mailroom, where he sorted letters and distributed newspapers to various offices every day; it was very easy, and the salary was the same as Dong Huixia's.

That day, the two went to eat a meal of stewed tripe to celebrate; after returning home, Dong Huixia covered herself with a quilt and cried for a long time.

She didn't even know when she fell asleep; when she woke up in the morning, the pillowcase and the head of the quilt were all wet.
