Zhou Jianguo carried two large bags of gifts and went straight into the house.

"Aunt, my dad often mentions Brother Xu Ming at home.

We should visit each other more often in the future. I see that you are in good health, so why not come with us to the provincial capital in a couple of days?"

Aunt Xu's eyes were full of smiles. "Come on, bring whatever gifts you want! Xu Min is grown up now, has children, and our family is established."

Then he saw a beautiful young woman behind him, accompanied by a child, and blurted out, "Is this your wife and child? You are so lucky!"

Aunt Xu went back to the house and took out a 10-yuan big unity note and gave it to Xiao Liubao. "Baby, you are so cute! We can't see such a beautiful baby here."

Seeing his grandmother nod, Xiao Liubao quickly took it and called out, "Hello, Grandma Xu! Liubao thanks Grandma Xu!"

Grandma Xu casually asked, "Sixth baby? You have five more babies?"

Xiao Liubao was very proud, "Yes, I have two older sisters and three older brothers!"

Grandma Xu stared at Lu Yuzhu in amazement, "Your mother is not only beautiful, but also capable!"

Zhou Jianguo happily walked over and hugged the smiling Yuzhu, "In addition to those advantages, my wife is also very good at making money! She's better than any other man!"

Zhou Dazhu and Aunt Zhou laughed so hard when they saw their son praising his wife.

Aunt Xu also laughed.

Everyone laughed.

But Aunt Xu only thought that Jianguo doted on and protected his wife, and she didn't think Yuzhu was more capable than any man.

When Xu Ming came back, he hugged Zhou's father and cried loudly. Only in front of his son and daughter did he wipe away his tears embarrassedly.

"Dad Zhou, Mom Zhou, please stay here for a few more days. Let me fulfill my filial duty as a son."

Zhou Dazhu nodded repeatedly, "Okay! That's exactly what I was thinking."

Xu Ming's wife had already bought some vegetables and went into the kitchen to cook.

Aunt Xu greeted them while picking vegetables, "You can just stay at home. We can go to his aunt's house and squeeze in for a while."

Aunt Zhou also followed him into the kitchen.

Zhou Dazhu and the younger generations sat in the yard chatting.

Zhou Dazhu looked at Xu Ming, who had grown from an ignorant boy to a middle-aged man. He felt very emotional and thought that it would be great if his old comrade was still alive.

"Xiao Ming, what kind of work do you do in the city?"

Xu Ming, "My wife was introduced by a relative from her mother's side. She works in a restaurant, serving dishes, washing vegetables and killing fish.

"I just listen to what I'm told and do whatever I'm told. I come back when the farming season is busy. I can make a living, but I can't get rich."

Lu Yuzhu supported her chin with her right hand, looked at Zhou Jianguo, and squinted her eyes from time to time.

Zhou Jianguo, holding Liubao in his arms, wanted to laugh but held it back.

As expected, Zhou Dazhu couldn't stand it any longer. "Have you ever thought about going to the provincial capital to make some money? Your brother Jianguo's wife has opened a factory there and has also started a construction team."

Xu Ming was shocked. "Really?"

Zhou Dazhu, "Do you still remember Gao Li I told you about? She is working for Yuzhu now. It's easy and she earns a lot of money."

Lu Yuzhu really wanted to cover her ears; she couldn't bear to listen any longer.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to recruit Brother Xu Ming, but he really has no skills at all.

Even if he went to the provincial capital, he could only do odd jobs. If he were given a job of sweeping the floor like Gao Li did, he, a grown man, would be so ashamed and angry that he would die!

Besides, the Xu family is different from the Gao family. They have relatives here to help them, and they have two children who need someone to take care of them in school.

Especially Aunt Xu, she is in a good mood living with the children.

But if Lu Yuzhu took Xu Ming out to work, only the elderly and children would be left at home.

His father-in-law means well, but this path is not suitable for Xu Ming, unless he is allowed to start from scratch on the construction site.

Slowly do odd jobs, accumulate experience and learn a skill, so that you can have a job in the engineering team in the future.

But when he saw his father-in-law and Xu Ming getting together and looking eager to change the status quo, he would definitely not accept the arrangement of learning the craft again.

Seeing Jianguo spread out his palms helplessly, it meant that he couldn't control his father.

Lu Yuzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Dad, don't make blind promises. Nothing I have in the provincial capital is suitable for Xu Ming.

Because he has no skills and no foundation, the siege team is not suitable for him at all.

Besides, both of his children are in school, so living too far away is not an option."

Zhou Jianguo said, "Dad, you'd better stop giving me random ideas. Let Yuzhu help me think of other solutions. Open a clothing store or something!"

Xu Ming secretly hated himself for not learning a skill when he was young and just looking forward to the Zhou family.

He knew about Gao Li at first, but he was still young at that time and the two families had never met.

But every time Zhou's father came, he said that he had visited Gao Li and that the little girl had a more difficult time.

Lu Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Brother Xu Ming, I will invest here and build a vegetable greenhouse, and then I will hand it over to you two to take charge of it.

We can be considered a win-win cooperation. I am the owner and you are the executor. We make money together."

Xu Ming stared at Lu Yuzhu, "You mean selling vegetables to make money?"

However, he had some doubts. Usually, the villagers would pick some vegetables to take to the vegetable market or sell them to the vendors there, and the money they could earn was limited.

Lu Yuzhu, "Don't underestimate it. Once the vegetable greenhouse reaches a certain scale, it will make more money than running a restaurant."

Xu Ming couldn't believe his ears. "What did you say? It makes more money than running a restaurant?"

Zhou Dazhu slapped Xu Ming on the shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate selling vegetables! In our village, that vegetable greenhouse can support the entire village."

Xu Ming stuttered a little, "Is this... so amazing? How do we do it? Even though I don't have any other skills, I can still grow vegetables."

Lu Yuzhu, "Then who will be in charge of the vacant land here? You just need to take us through the formalities and buy a piece of land first. You need to have the right to use it for at least 10 years.

Then we can build a vegetable greenhouse on top and sell vegetables all year round."

Xu Ming felt warmed by what he said, and finally mustered up the courage, "I'm almost 40, so I'll just give it my all and join you guys!"

Zhou Dazhu was a little amused and said, "Don't be reluctant. If you follow your sister-in-law and the others, you will definitely make a fortune!"

After the meal was ready, the family sat around the big table, and Zhou Dazhu started talking to Aunt Xu about his family plans.

When Aunt Xu heard that the Zhou family wanted to help their son get rich, she was the first to agree.

"Okay, let Xu Ming work with you. Maybe it will improve our lives."

After dinner, Xu Ming took Zhou Jianguo and his wife to look for land.

Xu Ming's wife went to the city and said goodbye to their relatives, and the couple decided not to go to help out.

Since I am running my own vegetable greenhouse, I must do my best.
