The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Zhuang Chaoying was pulled into Song Ying's room, and then he saw a large table of dishes, including meat, vegetables, chicken and fish, which was very rich.

Xiang Pengfei and Zhuang Hualin asked Zhuang Chaoying to sit down. When they saw the three steamed buns in his hand, they took them aside and put them down.

"Teacher Zhuang, you haven't eaten yet. Sit down and eat together." Lin Wufeng brought a set of bowls and chopsticks to Zhuang Chaoying.

Zhuang Chaoying glanced at his children and took the dishes awkwardly.

Wang Gang sat down with a normal look on his face. Zhuang Xiaoting flattered Zhuang Chaoying, "Dad, try this fish."

Zhuang Chaoying picked up the chopsticks but never picked up the fish, so Song Ying took the initiative to pick up a piece of fish and gave it to him.

"Teacher Zhuang, you're welcome. This meal was originally meant to welcome Tuanan and Xiaoting. When our family went to Shanghai, Sister Ling took great care of us." Lin Wufeng poured a glass of white wine for Zhuang Chaoying.

"Thank you." Zhuang Chaoying held the bowl and drank the white wine in one gulp.

"Tuanan, when you have time, you should go visit your father and grandmother. They haven't seen you in several years." Zhuang Chaoying sighed and said.

Wang Gang put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I thought you already understood my attitude towards my father and grandmother."

Zhuang Chaoying said with a bitter face: "They are your father and grandmother after all, and they are old, and you will see them less and less."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the father and son was becoming increasingly tense, Zhuang Hualin took the initiative to say, "Tunan, when you are free tomorrow, your aunt will accompany you to your father and grandmother's house."

Wang Gang said with a straight face: "Actually, I came back this time, first, to visit my aunt and Pengfei, and second, I heard that Uncle Lin had problems with his work, so I didn't plan to go to my father and grandmother's house."

Zhuang Chaoying looked at Lin Wufeng in astonishment and asked, "Mr. Lin, what happened?"

Lin Wufeng said awkwardly: "I took private jobs outside and was reported by my co-workers. The factory decided to transfer me to the workshop as a worker."

Song Ying glared at Lin Dongzhe fiercely and said, "We didn't intend to tell you about this originally, it was all because of Dongzhe's quick mouth."

Lin Dongzhe secretly exchanged glances with Zhuang Xiaoting, then buried his head in his meal.

It turned out that in order to improve the conditions at home, Lin Wufeng privately accepted an invitation from a small factory outside to provide technical support and earn some extra money.

By chance, this matter was discovered by a fellow worker, who reported it to the factory director.

The factory talked to Lin Wufeng, severely criticized his behavior, and punished him by sending him to work as a worker in the workshop.

Lin Wufeng was transferred from an engineer to a worker, and he must have felt a big gap in his heart. He was always depressed when he returned home. Lin Dongzhe saw it and was worried, so he called Zhuang Xiaoting to discuss it.

What could Zhuang Xiaoting, a high school student, do? She could only ask Huang Ling and Wang Gang for help.

Huang Ling and Song Ying have a deep sisterly relationship, and now Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting have the same relationship. Naturally, they will not sit idly by, so they let Wang Gang go back to Suzhou to inquire about the situation.

"Uncle Lin, I think you might as well go out and work. Many small factories are in need of skilled people like you, and the salary is very high." Wang Gang advised:
"You know the current situation. With the reform and opening up across the country, a large number of small private factories have emerged. The public sector is having a harder time. Sooner or later, large-scale layoffs will be needed."

Song Ying said worriedly: "Who says it's not true! Even our cotton mill is having a hard time now. We can't pay wages and have to use textiles to pay debts. Many workers have applied for unpaid leave. It's a good thing Sister Ling left early."

Lin Wufeng glanced at Zhuang Chaoying and said, "Sister Ling's business is getting bigger and bigger now. All the products are sold in Suzhou. It is indeed better to develop here than to stay in the factory."

Zhuang Chaoying had heard about Huang Ling's business in Shanghai, but didn't know much. When Lin Wufeng mentioned it, he asked, "What kind of business does Huang Ling do in Shanghai?"

Zhuang Xiaoting said enthusiastically: "Mom imports radios and televisions from the south and ships them to the north to sell. The sales this year have exceeded 200,000."

"How much?!" Zhuang Chaoying was so frightened that he lost his grip on the glass and spilled the wine all over himself.

"Brother." Zhuang Hualin quickly wiped Zhuang Chaoying with a handkerchief.

Zhuang Chaoying asked Wang Gang in surprise: "Is your mother's business so big now?"

Wang Gang nodded and said: "Actually, it's just a small thing, just following the big boss to make a profit." Zhuang Chaoying looked at Wang Gang's nonchalant look and became more and more surprised.

"Brother, my sister-in-law gave us a TV last year." Zhuang Hualin said in a low voice.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Zhuang Chaoying frowned.

"My sister-in-law didn't let me tell her because she was worried that my parents would find out." Zhuang Hualin sighed.

Zhuang Chaoying thought of the character of his parents and couldn't help but lower his head.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right again, Lin Wufeng quickly changed the subject and said, "Actually, a factory in Guangzhou contacted me and wanted me to go over to work, but I was worried about Song Ying and Dong Zhe, so I didn't agree."

Song Ying gritted her teeth and said, "We are a family. We should share the hardship. Since you are going to Guangzhou, we will follow you."

Lin Dongzhe glanced at Zhuang Xiaoting. He was now in Suzhou, and could go to Shanghai to reunite with Zhuang Xiaoting during holidays, but once he went to Guangzhou, the two could only communicate through letters and phone calls.

Wang Gang said: "Uncle Lin, I have a job opportunity here. I wonder if you would like to give it a try."

Lin Wufeng was stunned and asked: "What opportunity?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "There is a boss in Hong Kong who wants to build a factory in the mainland to produce compressors and sell them to Europe and the United States. I can recommend you to go there and give it a try."

"Hong Kong?" Lin Wufeng frowned.

"This job may require traveling back and forth between the mainland and Hong Kong, but the salary is very high, about 2,000 yuan a month."

"How much is the monthly salary?" Song Ying screamed.

"Two thousand, travel allowance is extra." Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Tuanan, you didn't make a mistake between monthly salary and annual salary!" Lin Wufeng was also a little bit unbelievable.

Wang Gang said: "You are right, the monthly salary is 2,000, and the annual salary is probably less than 30,000. They calculate the salary according to the standards in Hong Kong.

Of course, with such a high salary, the requirements are naturally high. If Uncle Lin didn’t have rich technical experience, I wouldn’t dare to recommend it.”

Zhuang Chaoying was puzzled and asked: "Tunan, how do you know the big boss of Xiangjiang?"

Zhuang Xiaoting said first: "Brother studied abroad in Cambridge and knows a lot of people from Hong Kong."

Wang Gang continued: "I am studying international law and may go to Hong Kong University for exchange in the future."

Zhuang Chaoying opened his mouth in shock, feeling that his son's achievements were a little too great.

Zhuang Hualin looked at Wang Gang enviously, then looked at his son and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xiang Pengfei's academic performance is average and he is now in the second year of high school. It is basically certain that he will not be able to get into university. Zhuang Hualin has already decided that after Xiang Pengfei graduates from high school, he will go to Huang Ling's company to study, but he doesn't know how to bring it up!
"Xiaoting, you should learn from your older brother. Not only should you take the college entrance exam, but you should also go abroad and see the world." Zhuang Hualin said to Zhuang Xiaoting.

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Xiaoting has good grades, so it won't be a problem for her to get into Fudan University. When there's a chance in the future, I'll send her to study abroad."

Lin Wufeng and Song Ying looked at each other and couldn't help but worry about their son.

Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting are in love. Although their parents neither support nor object, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying are also worried that the gap between them is too big.

Lin Wufeng gritted his teeth and said to Wang Gang: "Tunan, can you tell me more about that job?"

Song Ying understood instantly that her husband was ready to fight for their son! (End of this chapter)
