She is a woman herself, so she really can't understand Qiu Yingjie's wife's thoughts. Is life abroad so good that she would even be willing to leave her husband and daughter behind?
Zhou Chen sighed, "In this era, many people think that the moon is rounder abroad, and everything is better than in China, so they are eager to go abroad. In fact, how many people can do well abroad? If they don't do well, they are unwilling to come back. Day after day, year after year, in the end, they can't even return to their roots."
Nowadays, it is very rare for Chinese people who go abroad to do well there.
It is true that you can make much more money abroad than in China, but you also have to pay a lot. You will also have to endure discrimination from the locals and be bullied. If you have a bad mentality, you will really collapse.
"So, I just can't understand what she's thinking. Being together as a family is the happiest thing."
"Everyone has his own ideas. We think that the happiest thing is to live together as a family. Others may think that as long as they live well, they can give up everything else."
"Humph."
Luo Yuzhu snorted disdainfully, "I won't go to work tomorrow. Let's drive the three kids out for a little fun."
"Okay, I have no problem with that."
The next morning, Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu packed up their three children and drove them out for a trip.
…………
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
In just a few years, great changes have taken place across the country, and Yiwu has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a decade ago.
Today, Yiwu has become a nationally renowned small commodity wholesale center. If you want to wholesale a large number of small commodities, Yiwu is definitely the best choice.
Yiwu's small commodity trade city is now overcrowded. Every vacant storefront or stall is crowded with people. Even stalls with bad locations have been rented out.
The houses in the first community around the commercial city were all sold out several years ago, and later Zhou Chen developed two more communities around it.
Because of the emergence of housing loans, most of the houses in the two newly opened communities were sold as soon as they were built, and by the time the houses were completed, they were all sold out.
If we were to say where the place with the largest flow of people is in Yiwu now, it would definitely be around the Small Commodity Trade City.
When Zhou Chen built the commercial city, he planned a large piece of land. Although other people in Yiwu built similar commercial cities later, none of them were as big as this one, and the flow of people was far less than here.
Luo Yuzhu took out clothes from the closet with her bulging belly.
"There will be a parent-teacher conference tomorrow, so you should wear this."
"it is good."
Zhou Chen nodded. Zhou Tao and Zhou Hong are both in elementary school, and Zhou Tao is already in the fifth grade. Zhou Tao will have a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow, and Zhou Hong will have one the day after tomorrow.
In the past, Luo Yuzhu was the one who did this kind of thing, but now Luo Yuzhu is pregnant, so this glorious and great task will naturally be given to Zhou Chen.
"What do you think about the sock factory I told you about before?"
Luo Yuzhu paused. A few years ago, Zhou Chen told her about the sock factory. She was really touched that Zhou Chen bought the sock factory privately.
Zhou Chen said that if she wanted a sock factory, he could take charge of it, but she refused.
She visited the sock factory and found that it had changed a lot compared to the past, but the house where she and her mother painted parent-child paintings was still there.
A year ago, Chen Jianghe married Yang Xue. Not long ago, Yang Xue's father passed away, so Chen Jianghe had to leave the sock factory and go to Yang Group to help Yang Xue.
As for the sock factory, it was handed over to Chen Jianghe's right-hand man Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang did not have Chen Jianghe's ability, but he could still be a factory director who maintained the status quo.
Luo Yuzhu said: "Push it. For the development of the sock factory, this is something we must go through."
Although that wall means a lot to her, she now has a happy family and her mother will be very happy when she sees it.
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone find the brick when the time comes."
The next day, Zhou Chen went to a parent-teacher meeting and was praised by Zhou Tao's class teacher because Zhou Tao had very good grades, always ranked first in the class, and was also the class monitor. Such a student is naturally the most popular with the teacher.
However, the situation was different when I went to the parent-teacher meeting for Zhou Hong. Compared to Zhou Tao, who was the top student in the class, although Zhou Hong had good grades, he was a mischievous boy who caused a lot of trouble in school.
The head teacher repeatedly reminded Zhou Chen to go back and educate his child properly. Even Zhou Chen felt quite embarrassed at the time. After returning home, he caught Zhou Hong and gave him a good beating.
A few days later, Zhou Chen placed a brick in front of Luo Yuzhu.
"Look, this should be it."
When Luo Yuzhu saw the brick, her eyes suddenly became red. After many years, she thought of her mother again, the best mother in the world.
After a long time, Luo Yuzhu hugged Zhou Chen tightly: "Husband, thank you, thank you for doing so much for me."
Zhou Chen also hugged Luo Yuzhu tightly and said softly: "You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
Although he treated Luo Yuzhu well in the beginning because she looked like his ex-wife, after more than ten years of marriage, he had long regarded Luo Yuzhu as his lover and the most important woman to him in the world.
It is natural for a man to be good to his woman and consider his woman.
After a long period of tenderness, Zhou Chen said, "Qiu Yingjie called me today and said he would treat us to dinner this weekend."
"He just got promoted to deputy director and invited us to dinner. Is he celebrating?"
"Probably not. He asked us to go to his house for dinner. It's just a family dinner. You don't know him. He doesn't like to show off."
In the plot, Qiu Yingjie should have passed away at this time, but with Zhou Chen around, Qiu Yingjie is still alive and well and has not suffered from cancer.
Yiwu is now no longer a county, but a city. Qiu Yingjie is now the deputy director of the Commerce Bureau, mainly responsible for investment promotion, domestic and foreign trade, etc.
At the age of over 30 and without any background, he was able to become a cadre of this level, which is enough to show how outstanding Qiu Yingjie is.
"You said Qiu Yingjie has been divorced for several years, why hasn't he thought about finding someone else?"
"He doesn't want Yanyan to have another stepmother. He is now focused on Yanyan and his work, and has no intention of finding a new one."
A few years after Qiu Yingjie went abroad, his wife chose to divorce Qiu Yingjie. She didn't even come back, but just sent a divorce agreement.
Qiu Yingjie was also a decisive person. He knew that their relationship had long been dead in name only and could not be salvaged, so he signed the divorce agreement.
Luo Yuzhu sighed: "To abandon such a good man and daughter, that woman is really cruel."
She didn't know how many times she had said this, but no matter how many times she said it, she still felt uncomfortable every time she thought about it.
"Don't worry so much. I think Qiu Yingjie and Yanyan are living a better life without that woman."
In the eyes of the older generation, divorce is terrible, but in Zhou Chen's opinion, divorce is not terrible. Divorce is always better than torturing each other.
"That's right, Yanyan is really a good kid, and her personality is even more cheerful than our Taotao. It would be great if she could become my daughter-in-law in the future."
Zhou Chen looked at Luo Yuzhu strangely: "You really think about it. How old are Taotao and Yanyan?"
Luo Yuzhu rolled her eyes: "Ten years old is not young anymore, in another ten years or so, you can get married. I tell you, a wife should be well-trained from a young age, and you know her inside out, so there will be fewer conflicts in the future. If Taotao can be with Yanyan, we can save a lot of trouble in the future."
"Stop, stop. Just say this in front of me. Don't say it in front of the children."
"Why, don't you want to?"
"It's no use for me to think about it. This is the child's business. They can make their own decisions. As parents, we should stop interfering."
"Humph, if parents don't care, then who can we expect to take care of it?"
Different from Zhou Chen who is open-minded, Luo Yuzhu values her son very much. She doesn't want her son to find a wife who doesn't get along with her in the future.
Zhou Chen changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you think I can get what I want this time and have another daughter?"
Luo Yuzhu couldn't help but touch her belly, with maternal love showing on her face.
"I think it's possible that the reaction to this pregnancy is different from the previous two."
"If the reaction is different, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a daughter. Never mind. It's the same whether it's a boy or a girl. Don't put pressure on yourself."
Luo Yuzhu rolled her eyes and said, "When did I put pressure on myself? I think you put pressure on yourself. You kept telling me that you wanted a daughter. I was bewitched and believed you. I got pregnant again and it made me so tired."
Zhou Chen hugged her and said with a smile: "Wife, I know you are tired, I will give you a massage."
"You are the only one who can coax."
On the weekend, Zhou Chen's family of four drove to Qiu Yingjie's house for a dinner.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 796 Qiu Yingjie and Qiaogu? Chen Jianghe Returns
Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu brought their two children and gifts in their hands and happily came to Qiu Yingjie's house for the banquet.
But when the two of them arrived at Qiu Yingjie's house, they were both shocked.
"Aunt." "Aunt."
While Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu were still in shock, Zhou Tao and Zhou Hong saw Qiaogu busy in the house and shouted happily.
That’s right, it was Qiaogu. In addition to Qiu Yingjie and Qiu Yan, there was actually another person in Qiu Yingjie’s family, and she was Qiaogu, who was so familiar that she couldn’t be more familiar.
'Why is Qiaogu here?'
Zhou Chen felt his head buzzing. He turned his stiff neck and looked at Luo Yuzhu beside him, his eyes full of questions.
It is very unusual for Qiaogu to appear in Qiu Yingjie's house. It is definitely not just a friend. If it is true, Luo Yuzhu, who has been working with Qiaogu, must know something about the situation.
But Luo Yuzhu really knew nothing. She felt Zhou Chen's inquiring gaze and shook her head in shock, looking confused.
Seeing that Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu were silent, Qiu Yingjie and Qiaogu were both very embarrassed, especially Qiu Yingjie, who didn't even dare to look Zhou Chen in the eye.
In the end, it was Qiu Yan who called them uncle and aunt in a crisp voice, which eased the awkward atmosphere.
Zhou Chen was only shocked for a short time, but now he has returned to normal. He glanced at Qiu Yingjie without leaving a trace, and then looked at Qiaogu.
"When did you start?"
Qiu Yingjie replied embarrassedly: "Brother Zhou, we..."
"Stop, Qiaogu, you speak." Zhou Chen interrupted Qiu Yingjie forcefully, his eyes fixed on Qiaogu.
Because of Qiaogu's matter, the old couple Chen Jinshui's hair turned white due to worry. A 32-year-old girl is still unmarried, which is really the first case in Chenjia Village.
Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu also tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail, so they just stopped trying.
But look at it now, look in front of us, Qiaogu is actually together with Qiu Yingjie, are you two playing tricks in the dark?
Qiaogu looked nervous and answered carefully: "Second brother, I, I have been with Yingjie for a while."
"How long is a period of time?" Zhou Chen asked with a straight face.
Qiaogu was timid and dared not answer. Although Zhou Chen had been very good to her over the years, she was still very scared when he got angry. She felt that when Zhou Chen was angry, he was several times more terrifying than her father.
Qiu Yingjie, a big leader, was a little afraid when facing Zhou Chen at this moment, and he was speechless for some reason.
In the end, Luo Yuzhu pushed Zhou Chen and said, "What are you doing? Why are you acting like a parent? Qiaogu is not a child anymore. Do you want her to be the parent here?"
As a couple for many years, Zhou Chen of course knew that Luo Yuzhu was doing this to ease the atmosphere. If it was someone else, he wouldn't care at all, but Qiao Gu was his cousin and a relative after all.
To be honest, Qiu Yingjie has really good conditions. He is a college student, a city leader, and he can raise a daughter alone, but he can teach her so well. There is no need to mention his character and personality.
If she were single, Qiaogu would not be worthy of Qiu Yingjie at all.
But the key point is that Qiu Yingjie has been married and divorced, and has a daughter, while Qiaogu is still a virgin and has never had a boyfriend. She and Chen Daguang are just childhood sweethearts, not boyfriend and girlfriend at all.
And Qiaogu is not doing badly now. Not only does she have a job, but she is also one of the persons in charge of the commercial city. Among women, she is considered outstanding.
If I were to be with Qiu Yingjie, I would have to be a stepmother from the very beginning. In this situation, I'm afraid 99% of parents would not agree.
Luo Yuzhu acted as a peacemaker and asked Qiaogu, "Qiaogu, are you done with your work? I'll help you."
As he spoke, he pulled Qiaogu into the kitchen. Qiu Yan also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he pulled Zhou Tao and Zhou Hong to his room, leaving only Zhou Chen and Qiu Yingjie in the living room.
Qiu Yingjie smiled awkwardly, then said, "Brother Zhou, please sit down."
Zhou Chen was not polite and walked to the sofa and sat down, while Qiu Yingjie sat down next to him.
"Brother Zhou, we didn't mean to hide the matter between Qiaogu and me from you. It's just that I really don't know how to explain this matter. Qiaogu and I have been struggling with this for a long time."
In fact, it was just a coincidence that he was with Qiaogu, because Qiaogu is now half the person in charge of the trade city and they had many interactions before. Over time, their relationship gradually developed.
Although he knew that this was not good, he just couldn't control himself. Gradually, the two of them came into contact more and more, and it became natural for things to become like this.
Zhou Chen listened to Qiu Yingjie's explanation in silence. He only spoke after Qiu Yingjie finished speaking.
"You asked us to come here today and confront me. Are you trying to convince me to help you?"
Qiu Yingjie looked embarrassed: "You are right, Brother Zhou, we all know Uncle Jinshui's temper. If he knew that Qiaogu and I were dating, he would definitely be very angry."
"You guys know that too?"
Zhou Chen's words made Qiu Yingjie even more embarrassed: "Brother Zhou, feelings are really hard to control. I treat Qiaogu sincerely, and Qiaogu is also sincere to me, but I also know that it is not easy to be with Qiaogu. But I also believe that as long as she and I are of one mind, we can definitely solve any difficulties."
Zhou Chen looked at him calmly for a long time, and finally said: "Although I am Qiaogu's cousin, I have no say in her marriage. If you want to be with Qiaogu, you must ask my uncle for permission."
"Brother Zhou..."
"Don't ask me to help persuade you. I may be able to persuade you about other things, but my words will be useless in this matter. You need to say it yourself."
