Chapter 509 Not even for my beloved relatives and friends

After He Xiao finished eating, He Yuzhu took He Xiao and Lou Xiao'e to visit Shiweitian.

During the whole process, because Cao Jiajia had explained it in advance, everyone respected He Yuzhu very much. He spoke up and down about Master He, making He Yuzhu seem to be the big boss.

In this regard, Lou Xiao'e asked again who the owner of the restaurant was. After He Yuzhu couldn't change the topic, he said it was a friend of his. If he asked any friend again, he would say a friend whom Lou Xiao'e didn't know.

After repeated attempts, Lou Xiao'e realized that He Yuzhu obviously didn't want to talk to Lou Xiao'e about the hotel owner, so she stopped asking.

Next, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e and, of course, He Xiao, hired two human-powered tricycles, and started to travel around the neighborhood, taking Lou Xiao'e to look for memories of the past.

While He Yuzhu was taking Lou Xiao'e and He Xiao around the capital, Cao Zhiqiang's family finally ended their family gathering and prepared to go back to their respective homes.

After all, it's almost five o'clock in the afternoon. If you don't leave, you'll have to stay and continue having dinner.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang planned to call the publishing house and ask the publishing house to send his special car to take Qinghong with him. He would first send Cao Lili and Qiao Simei back to their home over at the school, and then take Qinghong back to his home.

His residence is at the Jianguo Hotel.

But Cao Jiajia suddenly said, it's time, don't bother the driver, let Cao Zhiqiang take Qinghong and take a taxi back.

As for Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, they are still playing poker with brother and sister Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan. They are in the mood of playing now, so it is better not to hinder their friends from playing on their own.

After they had finished playing, Cao Jiajia asked Lao Xia, that is, Xia Siming, to send the two sisters back in person.

Xia Siming now also owns a car. Of course it is not a car. After all, cars are not yet allowed to be purchased by private individuals.

Xia Siming's car is a sidecar motorcycle that Cao Jiajia bought specifically for Xia Siming to drive.

Well, even though Cao Jiajia has been working in Shiweitian for a short time, Keshiweitian is really very profitable.

As for how profitable Shiweitian's restaurant is, I'm afraid only Cao Jiajia knows best at the moment, and Cao Zhiqiang only has a rough idea.

In short, Cao Jiajia has now bought a sidecar motorcycle, but Cao Jiajia does not ride it herself, but gives it to her husband Xia Siming.

Although Xia Siming is currently in the stage of recuperating with traditional Chinese medicine, it may be that the medicine is suitable for his symptoms and his physical condition is getting better and better.

So far, it is not possible to let Xia Siming do hard work, but it is no problem to ride a motorcycle or something.

In fact, Xia Siming had wanted to work with Cao Jiajia for a long time, but Cao Jiajia didn't agree. She felt that it was too embarrassing for Xia Siming to go to the restaurant to do it. Besides, he was taking care of his health now, so he had better take care of his health first.

Cao Zhiqiang also thinks that it is good to have Xia Siming at home. At least he can take care of the family, such as taking care of the children. By the way, he is currently in the recuperation stage, so it is really not easy to work hard.

It’s equally possible for a female to lead the outside and a male to lead the inside.

Furthermore, Xia Siming was a level 4 fitter and could also do design. After all, he had attended a technical secondary school at that time and was very proficient in mechanical drawing and other things.

If it hadn't been for the turmoil that year, Xia Siming would have been admitted to college long ago.

Later, Xia Siming did not go to college, mainly because of his illness, but he usually liked reading very much.

This may be a common problem among sick people, that they like to read to relieve boredom, especially in this era.

Also, Uncle Yi is an eighth-level fitter, so he lets Xia Siming recuperate in the yard. If nothing happens, he can exchange ideas with Uncle Yi. It won’t be too late to use him again when Xia Siming recovers from his illness.

Of course, even though he said that, in order not to reduce his working age, although Xia Siming stayed at home for a long time, his relationship has been transferred to Hongguang Machinery Factory, but the specific job is with Hongguang Publishing House.

General editing.

In this way, Xia Siming can continue to work for a long time and receive a salary and benefits.

In fact, although Xia Siming stays at home, he does have an editing job.

For example, in the monthly "Zhiji" published by Zhiji Publishing House, a subsidiary of Hongguang Publishing House, there is a column in charge of Xia Siming, which mainly publishes some short articles on Chinese and foreign technical science.

The specific work is not tiring. He only needs to call Hongguang Publishing House at home regularly and ask the publishing house to send someone to send him some information and the manuscript he is responsible for. Then he will slowly write the manuscript at home, proofread it slowly, and he is done.

Just call him again and ask someone to take the part of the manuscript he is responsible for to the publishing house.

Later, after he got a motorcycle, he usually stopped calling to ask for information and deliver manuscripts. Instead, he would ride his motorcycle to the publishing house in person to pick up materials and deliver manuscripts, so as not to bother people all the time.

It can be said that Xia Siming's current situation is properly working from home.

That is to say, he, Xia Siming, has a special relationship and belongs to a real relationship household. Otherwise, in this era, it is impossible for ordinary people to receive such treatment.

If it were a particularly sensitive person, it might be difficult to accept it. Fortunately, Xia Siming, who has been ill for a long time, is not the kind of person with a sensitive heart.

Thinking about it, if he was a patient with a sensitive heart, he wouldn't be alive until now.

Therefore, Xia Siming was very receptive to Cao Zhiqiang's arrangement, but he was not completely resigned to it, but he also had his own persistence in it.

In other words, Xia Siming insisted on doing a job within his ability, which was his last persistence and self-esteem.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Cao Zhiqiang is very measured in what he does and says. He never talks about charity directly, but talks about helping me in roundabout ways.

All in all, before picking up Cao Jiajia's family, Cao Zhiqiang had thought about many bad consequences. After all, there were too many rhetoric about supporting his younger brother and the devil in his previous life, so it was not that he had not considered these.

But Cao Zhiqiang is a time-traveler after all. Since he has come to this world and taken on someone else's identity, he must bear the consequences of that identity. It is impossible to really ignore the family members of this identity.

Not only would this lead to criticism from people around him, but most importantly, Cao Zhiqiang's own moral bottom line would not allow it.

As for helping his younger brother to be a demon, Cao Zhiqiang has already prepared for it. After all, he is confident that he can handle it.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang actually took over his sister's family, he discovered that in fact, his sister's family didn't have much to do. They still had high self-esteem and self-love. They would not completely lean on him to suck blood. Instead, they all had certain abilities, and

My sister and brother-in-law are both emotionally intelligent and not annoying.

Not to mention that the column in charge of Xia Siming has always been running well, but let’s talk about Cao Jiajia’s role as the manager of Shiweitian. She also did a very good job. Except for some unfamiliar parts at the beginning, she was able to get started quickly.

At least Shiweitian's accounts are very clear, and the personnel management is pretty good. There is no conflict with Shazhu. All aspects are taken care of, which is pretty good.

This may also be related to Cao Jiajia's experience.

Cao Jiajia used to be a nurse, and nursing is actually a very social position. After all, you have to face all kinds of patients and accept all kinds of requests all day long. Even if your emotional intelligence is not high in the past, it can be trained over time.

come out.

What's more, Cao Jiajia's husband, Xia Siming, has been ill for a long time. Cao Jiajia has to take the lead both inside and outside, and he has trained her out of it.

Therefore, this time the man took advantage of his younger brother, and she actually cherished her opportunity. Although she did not have great talents, she still had no problem helping to manage a restaurant, calculating accounts, managing staff, and establishing good relationships with customers.

of.

Moreover, Cao Jiajia really likes the position of restaurant manager and feels that it is much better than working as a nurse in the hospital. This is why Cao Jiajia has never been willing to go to the hospital.

Think about it, working as a nurse in a hospital is not as impressive as working as a manager at a high-end restaurant.

After Cao Zhiqiang and Qinghong left the quadrangle, waved goodbye to Cao Jiajia and Xia Siming who came to see them off, and then they got on the motorcycle tricycle they invited and went straight to the Jianguo Hotel, Xia Siming, who came out to see them off together, asked Cao Jiajia in a low voice:

"Jiajia, why don't you let Lili and the others go back with Zhiqiang?"

Cao Jiajia rolled her eyes at Xia Siming: "You, you don't understand this. Of course, let Zhiqiang and Qinghong be gentle and gentle, and have more of a two-person world."

Xia Siming thought for a while and nodded suddenly: "Oh, I see, it's really, really, really, my wife, you are so considerate."

Cao Jiajia sighed: "Well, after I came here, I realized that my younger brother is very capable now, but he is too tolerant and has no time to spare.

You see, he is either busy here or there all day long, with his feet never touching the ground. Don't even look for him, you can't even see him.

The number of family reunion meals like this can be counted on one hand."

Xia Siming smiled: "Those who are capable work hard. Zhiqiang is now a celebrity and capable person. It is normal that there are more places that need him."

Cao Jiajia shook her head and continued: "That's true, but I'm just worried that my brother won't get sick from being too tired."

Xia Siming frowned subconsciously, but quickly smiled: "Don't worry, Jiajia, Zhiqiang is young and strong, and his traveling around is mainly for mental work. His food and accommodation are top-notch, and many high-ranking officials are not as well treated as him.

Okay, nothing will happen."

Cao Jiajia nodded: "That's right."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Jiajia said: "Lao Xia, what do you think of Qinghong? How does it match my brother?"

Xia Siming touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well, it's hard to say, but judging from the relationship between the two of them, it's pretty good at the moment. At least Qinghong only has Zhiqiang in her eyes, and she is wholeheartedly devoted to Zhiqiang.

I can be sure."

"That's right." Cao Jiajia nodded.

After smiling slightly, Cao Jiajia continued: "Speaking of which, you should also know that Qinghong is a nice person, and she is very honest and responsible.

With her by Zhiqiang's side, I actually feel quite relieved."

Speaking of this, Cao Jiajia sighed again: "To be honest, Lao Xia, after I came here, I once thought that Qinghong's identity was a bit unsuitable for Zhiqiang, but it was Yu Yuanyuan and Xiang.

The East seems quite suitable.

But later I also figured out that people like Zhiqiang are like a wild horse without a rein. They cannot be controlled and they don’t like being controlled.

People like Yu Yuanyuan and Xiang Dongfang, who have good family conditions and are particularly thoughtful, are not suitable for Zhiqiang. Qinghong, who is not deeply involved in the world and has average family conditions, only has Zhiqiang in his heart and will listen to Zhiqiang in everything.

Only those who are most suitable for Zhiqiang."

"Haha." Xia Siming smiled, "Jiajia, when did you become an emotional expert?"

Cao Jiajia smiled: "It's nothing, I just think about it when I have nothing to do. After thinking about it, I figured out something. By the way, do you think my analysis is correct?"

Xia Siming raised his head and looked in the direction where Cao Zhiqiang was going, and found that Cao Zhiqiang and Wu Qinghong were no longer there.

After letting out a breath, Xia Siming smiled and shook his head: "Jiajia, I know your feelings for Zhiqiang.

You, life is getting better now, and you have begun to think of an eldest sister as a mother. I always feel that after your parents are gone, you should take on the responsibility of taking care of your younger brother.

I understand your thoughts, and I don’t object to it.

But, now you have seen that Zhiqiang is an adult, a very independent person, a leader, and a person who is more capable than any of us.

Such a person absolutely does not like outsiders to interfere in his private life at will, even his beloved relatives and friends.

So, as for Zhiqiang's personal affairs, I think it's better not to interfere indiscriminately.

Let's put it this way, it doesn't matter who you think is suitable, the key is who he thinks is suitable, you know."

Cao Jiajia nodded thoughtfully: "I understand the truth, but, but I always feel..."

"Jiajia!" Xia Siming suddenly turned to look at Cao Jiajia, and said with a serious face, "I told you, no matter how close you are to Zhiqiang, you are just a close relative, so you must not get involved in his personal affairs, and don't cause trouble.

In the end, it would be terrible if even siblings couldn't be together."

After a brief pause, Xia Siming added: "Now that our family can come here and our life has become so good, it is all thanks to Zhiqiang.

We must not be arrogant because of luxury, but we must be self-aware.

Otherwise, if you really become self-righteous because of this, disaster is not far away, do you understand?"

Cao Jiajia was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed: "Don't worry, I still understand this truth, I just feel that it is not easy for my brother, and I want to check it for him.

Of course, the best I can do is give him some advice in the future, right?

After all, in my opinion, Zhiqiang is usually too busy and probably has no thoughts about this at all.

Qinghong is fine, but Yu Yuanyuan and Xiang Dongfang are not fuel-efficient lamps.

I’m afraid that my brother will be tricked by others because he has no experience in this field in the future.”

Xia Siming nodded: "Well, if you want to remind him, that's fine. In short, don't make decisions for him. At most, just give him a heads up."

"Don't worry, I know." Cao Jiajia smiled, "Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go back and have a rest. Don't catch a cold due to the wind."

Xia Siming smiled and shook his head: "You, I am much better now and not so valuable."

"That won't work either," Cao Jiajia said, "It's better to go back and rest early, maybe take a nap."

"That's true." Xia Siming smiled, "Let's go, go back and clean up, and then rest early."

Cao Jiajia nodded with a smile, and then walked back to the courtyard with Xia Siming.

As a result, when they arrived at the middle courtyard, they happened to see the first and second uncles, as well as Qin Jingru and Jia Zhang, sitting around the table in the middle of the courtyard, drinking tea and eating melon seeds, chatting animatedly.
