Early the next morning, Wang Gang noticed that Zhou Zhigang's attitude towards him had changed somewhat, becoming more and more kind, and there was a hint of relief and pride in his eyes.
Wang Gang was well aware of this change and knew that he had finally been recognized by his father, but he did not appear overly happy or overjoyed.
What he did was not because he wanted Zhou Zhigang's approval, but he just didn't like Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, that's all.
But he also knew that from now on, no matter what kind of trouble he had with Zhou Bingyi and the others, Zhou Zhigang would probably stand by his side.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Cai Xiaoguang came to the door and expressed his gratitude to Wang Gang.
The tractor factory has transferred Cai Xiaoguang's files to the school, and Cai Xiaoguang will be able to go to school in the capital in a few years.
"Bingkun, thank you so much. I know that if it weren't for your help this time, I wouldn't be able to go to school." Cai Xiaoguang held Wang Gang's hand and choked up when he spoke excitedly.
Seeing that there was still no news from Wang Gang, he went to Zhou Bingyi himself, hoping that his father-in-law could say a word.
As a result, Zhou Bingyi was worried about his father-in-law's opinion and rejected Cai Xiaoguang.
Cai Xiaoguang was already desperate and was ready to work as a worker in a tractor factory.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. The factory director found him before the holiday and expressed his sincere fear that he would support him in going to college and had already transferred his files.
Cai Xiaoguang has never seen the factory director so humble, as if he was begging him to leave the factory, without even half of his previous delaying and perfunctory attitude.
Although he didn't know why the factory director went crazy, Cai Xiaoguang knew that someone must have helped him.
Cai Xiaoguang recalled that he had told Wang Gang and Zhou Bingyi about this matter.
Zhou Bingyi had already rejected him, so the only person left to help him was Wang Gang.
"Brother Xiaoguang, you are being polite when you say that. You have helped our family a lot in the past." Wang Gang said with a smile.
"No matter what, I owe you a huge favor." Cai Xiaoguang is a second-generation official and is extremely proficient in human relations and sophistication.
"In the future, we will all go to the capital to go to school. We will definitely have the opportunity to meet each other. Let's get together then!" Wang Gang sent Cai Xiaoguang out of the house with a smile.
"I'm sure, I'll treat you to dinner when we get to the capital." Cai Xiaoguang took out a paper bag and tried to stuff it into Wang Gang.
Wang Gang directly pushed the paper bag back and said, "Brother Xiaoguang, I have always regarded you as my eldest brother."
Cai Xiaoguang was moved and said: "Bingkun, you will always be my brother."
Wang Gang understood what Cai Xiaoguang meant, but these words sounded a bit strange?
After sending Cai Xiaoguang away, Wang Gang went directly to Guangzipi to find Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang, and had some drinks with them.
"Brother Qiangzi, Brother Shui, thank you this time."
"Bingkun, what are you talking about? It's just a trivial matter. The factory director himself has a dirty ass, so it's easy for us to get caught." Tu Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"Anyway, you guys helped me this time. I'll remember this." Wang Gang said while holding the wine glass.
Shui Ziliu smiled and said: "Bingkun, you haven't helped us enough? Why are you so polite!"
The three of them picked up the wine glasses at the same time, their friendship was all in the wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
"How are you preparing for your business?" Wang Gang asked.
Shui Ziliu replied: "I followed your suggestion and did some market research. I found a street with the largest flow of customers. The melon seed fryer has also arranged everything so that it can open after the Chinese New Year."
Wang Gang asked again: "Are the initial funds sufficient? Do you want me to invest more?"
"Enough, enough, we can't use it up at all," Tu Zhiqiang said.
"You start with a small stall first. After the business is stable and the customer flow is sufficient, you can then rent a small shop and apply for a formal license. Don't worry about money. If you don't have enough, ask me for it.
I will go to Beijing to study in the next year. If you have any questions, please call or write to me."
Wang Gang is very optimistic about Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang, and is ready to invest in them and earn the first pot of gold.
In this life, Wang Gang no longer plans to do business and concentrates on developing in the literary world. However, when he encounters a good opportunity, he will also invest, starting with Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang.
After staying at Tu Zhiqiang's house for a while, Wang Gang left and went home to celebrate the New Year. They had a New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong both came over to eat.
We can't see the Spring Festival Gala now. After the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Bingyi took his wife back to his father-in-law's house.
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua felt extremely uncomfortable when they saw their eldest son's enthusiasm in going to his father-in-law's house.
However, they have also figured out that from now on they will live with their younger son and no longer count on their eldest son and daughter.
Zhou Rong did not leave after the New Year's Eve dinner. Instead, she shamelessly paid New Year greetings to her parents. She said all her kind words and was sweet-tongued, finally making her parents happy.
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua did not get angry with Zhou Rong anymore for the sake of celebrating the New Year. It was rare for them to have a good New Year.
On New Year's Day, Zhou Zhigang took his whole family back to Guangzipi.
The purpose is naturally to show off.
This time the college entrance examination was resumed, and in the entire film, only the children of the Zhou family were admitted to college, making the neighbors extremely envious.
Zhou Zhigang naturally wanted to return home with his children in fine clothes. Every household paid New Year's greetings and received a lot of New Year's money.
"Old Zhou, you are so lucky! Your three children and two daughters-in-law have all been admitted to college, and your son-in-law is a college student. Why did Wen Quxing fall into your family?" Aunt Qiao was even more envious when she saw Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua.
Zhou Zhigang smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's up to the children to strive for their own success."
Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao were a little embarrassed. They also took part in the college entrance examination and all failed without any accident.
What's even more embarrassing is that Qiao Chunyan's deputy director was raped, and her entire house was taken away. Before the Chinese New Year, she ran back to Guangzipi's parents' house in despair.
Originally, a group of their friends had a gathering on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but Qiao Chunyan said she would not attend because of something else.
"Brother, will you and your sister-in-law go to the capital to go to school after the Chinese New Year?" Qiao Chunyan asked Wang Gang.
"Yes, our family is preparing to go to the capital, and the houses have been rented." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Qiao Chunyan rolled her eyes and asked: "Brother Gan, your whole family is going to the capital. No one lives in Jichun's house, right?"
Wang Gang guessed that Qiao Chunyan wanted to borrow a house and said: "Two days ago, Qunchao and National Day came to me to borrow a house. After I leave, the house will be rented to them."
Qiao Chunyan was stunned for a moment, her face a little ugly. Cao Debao on the side whispered: "They move very quickly."
"The houses of Qianchao's family and Guoqing's family are not enough to live in. Originally, I wanted to borrow them to live in, but they insisted on giving me money and said it was rent." Wang Gang glanced at Cao Debao and said:
"I rented the house in Juan'er Taiping Hutong to Qianchao, and I rented the house in Lao Zhangtou to Guoqing."
Qiao Chunyan rolled her eyes and asked, "What about the Zhou family's old house? It's not rented to outsiders, right?"
Wang Gang glanced at Zhou Zhigang and said, "That's my dad's house, how dare I touch it."
Zhou Zhigang rolled his eyes at Wang Gang and scolded with a smile: "I know you have a lot of houses, so what are you talking about?"
Everyone in the room laughed. After careful calculation, Wang Gang did have a lot of houses.
It turns out that there are four houses in total including the two rooms in Lao Zhangtou's house, the Zheng family's house in Taiping Hutong, the Zhou family's old house, and the yard where they live now.
Originally, Wang Gang wanted to leave the house in Taiping Hutong to Zheng Guangming, but unfortunately he didn't want it. He said that the Qiyuan would give him a building in the future, and it would still be a house in the capital, so he transferred the Zheng family's old house to Zheng Juan's name.
With so many houses on hand, it was not an option to leave them empty, so Wang Gang rented two houses to Sun Qunchao and Xiao Guoqing at low prices, charging a nominal rent of 2 yuan per month, which was considered a favor to his friends.
When Qiao Chunyan learned that the Zhou family's old house was still empty, she had something in mind.
"Godmother, my deputy director has been dismissed and my house has been taken away. I am now homeless. Can you lend me a house to live in for a while?" Qiao Chunyan said coquettishly, holding Li Suhua's arm.
Li Suhua was a little undecided and looked at Zhou Zhigang.
The old house of the Zhou family was built by Zhou Zhigang hand in hand, and he has extraordinary feelings.
"Chunyan, how long do you plan to stay?" Wang Gang asked Qiao Chunyan, worried that Li Suhua would be in trouble.
"Let's spend this time first!" Qiao Chunyan said: "I'm going back to work as a pedicure worker now, and I can't find a house for the time being."
"If you only live for a few days, it's okay to lend it to you, but if it lasts for a long time, if we come back for the holidays, it may not be enough." Wang Gang refused in a vague way.
"Why don't I rent it too? I'll pay you whatever rent you pay during Catching Up and National Day, and I'll vacate the house when you come back." Qiao Chunyan said with a roll of her eyes.
Wang Gang glanced at Zhou Zhigang and asked what he meant.
Zhou Zhigang thought for a while, nodded slightly, and agreed.
As for the opinions of Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, no one cares about them and it has nothing to do with them.
"Okay then! I'll rent the house to you, but we've agreed that if we go back to Jichun, you have to make room." Wang Gang said.
"You still can't believe me! Otherwise, we sign a contract in black and white." Qiao Chunyan joked.
"Okay, it's not impossible to sign a lease." Wang Gang said.
Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao's faces were a little unnatural.
