Chapter 307: Supporting construction

~8 min read 1,477 words

Nanluoguxiang, independent small courtyard.

Skillfully serving the hot dishes, He Wenyuan sat on a chair, picked up the chopsticks, and handed them over: "Brother-in-law, eat!"

"Hmm!"

Looking at He Wenyuan's obedient appearance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but nod.

Because after years of "education," this girl had finally become "sensible"!

Seeing that He Wenyuan hadn't brought her own chopsticks, He Wenhui, who was beside them, couldn't help but say: "You only have eyes for your brother-in-law, what about me?"

"Oh, sister, wasn't I just about to get them for you?"

Looking at He Wenhui with a full smile, He Wenyuan then smiled.

And just as the three sat together, He Wenyuan, who was beside them, said: "Brother-in-law, I heard at your rolling mill that you need to send people to the Northwest to support construction? Is that true or false!"

"You can even find out news from our rolling mill?"

Looking at He Wenyuan with curiosity, Zhang Cheng asked in surprise.

"Hey, isn't it because my classmate works at the rolling mill!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, He Wenyuan then said: "You aren't going too, are you?"

Following He Wenyuan's words, He Wenhui, who was beside them, became nervous.

Because if Zhang Cheng went to the Northwest, what would happen to their family!

"The list has already been selected by the higher-ups. It was originally Nan Yi who was going, but I plan to help him carry it for a few years! His little girl was just born..."

Speaking indifferently, Zhang Cheng didn't feel that going to the Northwest was a hardship at all!

"Ah, you're going to the Northwest?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, He Wenhui immediately panicked.

"What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm not coming back. Besides, isn't Liu San and the others still at home?"

Looking at He Wenhui before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

But hearing Zhang Cheng's words, He Wenhui said aggrievedly: "But I'm pregnant!"

"What, you're pregnant?"

Looking at He Wenhui in astonishment, at this moment, not only Zhang Cheng, but even He Wenyuan, who was beside them, was shocked.

"When did this happen?"

Looking at He Wenhui before him, Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked.

"It was checked last month! Can you not go!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng pitifully, He Wenhui couldn't help but ask.

Hearing He Wenhui's words, Zhang Cheng said helplessly: "The list has already been submitted, how do you expect me to refuse!"

You must know, supporting construction nowadays is a very glorious thing.

But considering Nan Yi's situation, Zhang Cheng still chose to replace him.

But if it were Sha Zhu, Zhang Cheng would definitely agree with both hands and feet without saying a word.

After all, that idiot leaving the courtyard would actually be a good thing for him.

But Nan Yi is different. If he leaves, how can Liang Ladi take care of four children alone, plus an infant in swaddling clothes?

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, He Wenhui was almost crying.

But just then, He Wenyuan said: "Sister, don't just cry, brother-in-law must have made arrangements!"

Persuading He Wenhui, He Wenyuan couldn't help but speak up.

"That's right, I will arrange everything that follows!"

Patting He Wenhui's shoulder, Zhang Cheng became serious.

"Brother-in-law, after you leave, what about Third Brother and the others?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, He Wenyuan wanted to know if Liu San and the others would still be obedient after he left!

"Don't worry about San'er and the others. After I leave, everything remains the same! Every month, he will give you fifty yuan, enough for household expenses! As for after the child is born, add another fifty yuan!"

Looking at He Wenhui before him, Zhang Cheng explained.

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, He Wenhui finally calmed down a little.

Because if Zhang Cheng left and there was no income at home, what would they do!

Hearing Zhang Cheng say he would give fifty yuan every month, He Wenyuan couldn't help but say: "Then brother-in-law, what about me?"

"What do you want now?" Looking at He Wenyuan in confusion, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Well, I want some pocket money too!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng aggrievedly, He Wenyuan explained.

Hearing He Wenyuan's words, Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes: "If you listen to your sister, I'll see the situation and let Liu San give you some pocket money!"

"Really? That's great, brother-in-law!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng happily, He Wenyuan couldn't help but be excited.

"What about Wentao and Wenda..."

Just after Zhang Cheng finished arranging things here, He Wenhui looked at Zhang Cheng expectantly, because they were about to graduate from junior high school.

But according to the current situation, He Wentao probably wouldn't be able to get into high school, and as for technical school, that's even more out of the question; technical schools now are even more sought after than high schools!

"I can't do anything about Wentao's matter, he's the one who doesn't want to study, what can I do!"

Looking at He Wenhui, Zhang Cheng understood that her idea was to help her younger brother find a path.

But Zhang Cheng knew that He Wentao wasn't cut out for studying, because his temper was too explosive and he needed to be polished for a while.

As for He Wenda, Zhang Cheng didn't intend to pay any attention to him at all.

Because that kid had the same personality as Bang Geng; even if you fed him too much, he wouldn't be tamed!

"You're his brother-in-law, you can't just watch him run around with those kids outside!"

Holding Zhang Cheng's hand, He Wenhui became serious.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll have Liu San arrange it when the time comes!"

Faced with He Wenhui's pleading, Zhang Cheng had no choice. After all, like him or not, he had to arrange a job for him.

As for whether He Wentao is willing to do it, Zhang Cheng believes Liu San will use his fists to tell him what it means to "know the times is a hero"!

Two days later, Nanluoguxiang, the Sihe Academy.

!. Read

The middle courtyard.

The Nan family gathered together.

Looking at Zhang Cheng before them, Liang Ladi, holding her daughter, came outside with her children, Mao and the others.

At the dinner table, Nan Yi looked at Zhang Cheng and raised his glass: "Brother, in this life, I, Nan Yi, only admire you!"

After saying this, Nan Yi drank it all in one gulp.

But looking at Nan Yi's appearance, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "What, afraid I won't go, trying to play the emotional card with me!"

Faced with Zhang Cheng saying this, Nan Yi said with a flushed face: "These are my sincere words! You..."

"Alright, we've known each other for so many years, don't I know your personality? Senior Brother!"

Raising his glass, Zhang Cheng's words "Senior Brother" made Nan Yi tear up.

Because of his "identity" issue, many people looked at Nan Yi as if he were a plague god.

But Zhang Cheng didn't care about his identity at all, and even treated him as a friend.

When the list came down this time, to be honest, Nan Yi's heart went cold.

Because there were five children at home, and with just Liang Ladi alone, how could she possibly take care of them?

But just at this moment, Zhang Cheng heard his words and took the initiative to replace him. How could Nan Yi not be moved?

Because at this time, what Zhang Cheng did could be called saving the life of Nan Yi's family!

Silently drinking, the two men looked at each other and smiled, both raising their glasses.

Some things don't need to be said too clearly, because as friends, they will definitely know what to do!

"After I leave, help me take care of Yushui! Sha Zhu is still too brainless, I don't trust him..."

Looking at Nan Yi before him, Zhang Cheng spoke seriously.

And after hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Nan Yi also nodded hurriedly: "I know that girl Yushui, don't worry, even if you leave, no one will dare to bully her!"

"Having your word is enough!"

Patting Nan Yi's shoulder, Zhang Cheng smiled.

But just then, Nan Yi looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "What about He Wenhui? Have you arranged it?"

Looking at Nan Yi suddenly, Zhang Cheng widened his eyes: "When did you know?"

"You're the same as Liu Hongchang, did you think I didn't know? Shameless!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with disdain, Nan Yi couldn't help but complain.

And looking at Nan Yi, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but twitch his mouth, because this guy hid it so deeply!

Nan Yi: The best fighter in the courtyard is Zhang Cheng, but when it comes to being a schemer, it must be me!

Liu Hongchang: Zhang Cheng, I'm working overtime!
