"You graduated from high school? How come I've never heard Nannan mention it?" the injured father on the other end of the phone asked, puzzled.

"Uncle, it's just that I couldn't find a job after graduation," Gao Jianguo said, half-jokingly.

He didn't find a job, but he didn't even look for one.

“That’s true, there’s such a shortage of job openings right now,” Shang’s father said, as if he had just thought of something.

Shang Yanfang stopped listening to what the two were saying after that, as she was gossiping with her mother.

"Auntie, Uncle wants you to answer the phone," Gao Jianguo said, interrupting the mother and daughter who were having a long chat.

"Okay, again," Mrs. Shang replied and picked up the phone.

Gao Jianguo pulled the little girl a little further away from the phone.

"Jianguo, Gao Jianguo, why are you pulling me?" Shang Yanfang was reluctantly dragged away.

"You won't even let your parents whisper anything to each other?" Gao Jianguo reminded him.

"Oh!" Shang Yanfang responded and obediently moved a little further away from the phone.

Gao Jianguo pulled the little girl to the checkout counter. After seeing Shang's mother hang up the phone, Gao Jianguo directly handed a 10,000-yuan note to the postal worker.

"Mom, here she is!" Shang Yanfang exclaimed as she saw her mother come out of the phone booth.

Shang's mother walked over and took out money from her pocket to pay.

"Mother, Jianguo has already paid." Shang Yanfang stuffed the money back into her mother's hand.

"Alright then! Let's go take a look at the supply and marketing cooperative," Shang's mother suggested.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the three rode their bicycles home.

When Shang's mother and Shang Yanfang returned, they were carrying large and small bags of things.

After returning to the educated youth settlement, the two of them tidied up everything in the room.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come to my house for dinner tonight." Captain Lu and Aunt Lu arrived at the educated youth settlement.

"Shang Zhiqing, your house is very nice." It was Aunt Lu's first time visiting Shang Yanfang and her family's new house.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, Mother, please have a seat. I'll pour you some tea," Shang Yanfang said as she came out of the house.

"Sister-in-law, I was thinking of coming to my house for dinner tonight," Captain Lu said first.

"Yes, sister-in-law, my husband told me that Brother Shang is his former boss, so we'd like to invite you to a meal," Aunt Lu chimed in.

"Isn't that too much trouble?" Mrs. Shang felt a little awkward. If Shang Erqiang were there, she would definitely have gone. The problem is that Shang Erqiang isn't here now.

"No trouble at all. The dishes are all prepared; we can go tonight," Aunt Lu said sincerely.

“Okay, Auntie, I’ll bring my mother and brother with me,” Shang Yanfang said, bringing over three cups of tea.

"Alright, Shang Zhiqing, you must take your mother and the others with you tonight." After saying that, Captain Lu patted Aunt Lu's shoulder and left.

Fearing that the Empress Dowager would refuse.

After the two left.

"My dear, why did you agree? It wouldn't be good if we all went!" Mrs. Shang said, quite annoyed.

“Mom, Uncle Lu came to invite me personally, so I can’t refuse. Besides, Xiao Kang and I are registered here now!” Shang Yanfang felt that her mother could be quite naive at times.

"That's right, let's go over and get them some things later." Mrs. Shang felt her suggestion was good.

"Mother, Mother, you're finally back! Where did you and my sister go? You didn't take me with you." Shang Guokang had also been missing and was only now returning.

"Your sister and I went to call your father," Shang's mother said, glancing at her youngest son.

"Why are you calling my dad? We just arrived yesterday. Do you miss him again?" Shang Guokang was really stupid.

"You little brat, what are you saying? I'll give you a good beating today!" said Madam Shang, picking up a stick from the side.

"Mother, Mother, I was wrong. Please stop hitting me." Seeing that things were going badly, Shang Guokang took off running.

Shang Yanfang: "..." Xiao Kang earned every beating he received through his own abilities.

"You little brat, I'll teach you to talk nonsense. I was just going to let your father know I'm safe." Mrs. Shang was getting a little tired from chasing after him.

"Okay, Mother, I know I was wrong, please stop hitting me." Shang Guokang also slowed down.

While her brother was arguing with her mother, Shang Yanfang grabbed Shang Guokang.

Shang's mother rushed forward and slapped Shang Guokang's buttocks several times.

Seeing that her mother had vented her anger, Shang Yanfang finally let go of Shang Guokang's hand.

Shang Guokang instinctively stood up and tried to run away.

"Stop!" Shang Yanfang shouted, and Shang Guokang immediately felt the blood pressure emanating from her sister.

"Sister, is there anything else?" Shang Guokang turned around with a bitter face.

"I have something to tell you." Shang Yanfang glanced at her sister indifferently and then walked back to her.

He You still remembers that when he was three years old, he broke his sister's doll and was beaten up by his two older sisters.

Later, his mother came back, and he went to her to complain. He then received a double beating from both his mother and father.

After that, she dared not provoke her sister again.

"Sis, go ahead and say it, I'm listening." She looked at her younger brother, who was a head taller than her.

"Sit down," Shang Yanfang commanded, feeling that she lacked authority.

Shang Guokang obediently sat down, but as soon as he sat down, he jumped up again.

Shang Yanfang gave him a death stare.

"Um, my butt hurts, I can't sit down," Shang Guokang explained awkwardly.

Actually, his mother didn't hit him very hard, but now she could pretend a little so that if he found out about other bad things from his sister later, the punishment could be lighter.

"Sit down, I won't scold you." Shang Yanfang saw through her little brother's little scheme.

This time, Shang Guokang sat down obediently.

"Guokang, the social environment is very complicated now, you must protect yourself."

Sometimes it's better not to do a good deed than to do one. I heard that in the next brigade, a girl fell into the water, and a young intellectual saw it and went down to save her.

"Guess what?" Shang Yanfang looked at Shang Guokang with a questioning gaze.

"That family must have been very grateful to that educated youth!" Shang Guokang guessed.

"Mother, what do you think?" Shang Yanfang asked her mother again.

"We might get ripped off again," Shang's mother said uncertainly.

"In the end, the male educated youth was accused of having physical intimacy because he hugged the wet woman."

He was forced to marry that girl. After Shang Yanfang finished speaking, she looked at her silly younger brother.

"Sister, do people like that really exist? Someone saved her, and instead of being grateful, she turned around and blamed them." Shang Guokang still couldn't believe it.

“Yes, the girl’s family came to the educated youth and said that their daughter couldn’t get married, and they insisted that the educated youth take responsibility.” Shang Yanfang said, looking at her younger brother’s ever-changing face.
