Chapter 400 Xia Sumu helps Xia Jianshe and his brother find work
Xia Songlan waited until they were far away before calling Zhou Sangning, "Mom, guess who I saw?"
"Who did you see? Don't keep us in suspense."
"You are truly the reincarnation of the female Zhuge Liang, and you are indeed as good as a god in predicting things.
I couldn't help myself today and came to find Chuanbai. I originally wanted to ask him something.
Unexpectedly, I saw him walking out of their unit with a beautiful girl, talking and laughing.
I've never seen Chuanbai look at a girl like that, there's definitely something fishy about that look."
"Haha, let me tell you. No one knows a child better than his mother. That kid must be showing some signs." Su Sanning was a little proud.
He continued to ask: "Where do you think they are going?"
"I think he went to eat nearby."
"You didn't drive?"
"Two people are walking."
Zhou Sangning curled his lips in disdain, "There aren't any good places to eat near their laboratory, just some small restaurants.
I don’t know who this child takes after. He is so stingy. Even though he earns so much money, he is reluctant to spend it.
When going on a date, you should take the girl to a high-end western restaurant or coffee shop, that way it will be more romantic."
Xia Songlan was amused when she heard Zhou Sangning getting anxious, "Love is enough to satisfy one's hunger. As long as there is love, it doesn't matter where you eat.
I think Chuanbai is quite proactive. He even stood on the outside of the road just now. He must be trying to protect the girl.
Don't worry, we will ask him again in a few days.
Besides, how do you know that the two of them have never eaten at a high-end Western restaurant? "
Ever since Zhou Sangning found out that her son was in love, she felt like she was being scratched by a cat.
I wish they could get married right away.
No one noticed anything abnormal about Xia Sumu in the past two days.
Xia Sumu has been retired for more than two years. He usually stays around Zhou Sangning, and the two are almost inseparable.
Since he retired, the couple has lived in his grandfather's courtyard.
One is that the elderly couple are old and need to be alone.
Second, four people live together and can take care of each other.
But these two days he has been acting out of character, going out early and coming back late every day, busy all the time.
Zhou Sangning was so focused on Xia Chuanbai that he didn't notice him.
But tonight, Xia Sumu came back drunk until after dinner.
Zhou Sangning looked at his red face and thick neck and guessed that he had been drinking.
She stared at him angrily, "Tell me...what have you been doing? Don't you know that you have high blood pressure and can't drink alcohol?
Who did you go out to eat and drink with again?"
Xia Sumu was laughing foolishly, and it was obvious that he was a little drunk.
Normally he was afraid of Zhou Sanning's nagging and criticism. Now that he knew he was in the wrong, he became even more timid.
He stuttered as he explained, "No one, I just met some old colleagues and had a few drinks."
"How can you drink like this with just a little drink?" Grandma beside him also disapproved of Xia Sumu's behavior.
"Xiao Xia, you are not young anymore, you should take care of your health. I see you always go out early and come back late these days, what are you busy with?
You were drunk again today and didn't even call home. Before dinner, Sang Ning was worried about you."
Zhou Sangning immediately glared after hearing this, "I haven't paid attention to you these two days, what have you been doing?"
Xia Sumu moved his lips hesitantly, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
The more he kept it a secret, the more anxious Zhou Sangning became. "I'm asking you, so just tell me."
Xia Sumu looked at the two giant Buddhas in front of him.
Although grandma didn't say anything and didn't urge him, the way she stared at him made him tremble with fear.
Zhou Sangning's angry expression made him even more frightened.
"I'm here to help Jianguo and Jianshe and talk about finding a job!"
If he hadn't mentioned Zhou Sanning, he would have forgotten about this matter, and now he was immediately furious.
“They don’t have parents, so they use you to run around.
How capable are you? You are nothing more than a teacher and a lousy doctor."
cough cough...
Grandpa was unhappy and coughed twice.
Zhou Sangning hurriedly explained, "Dad, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about him. Of course you are the greatest doctor."
Grandpa glanced at his daughter, then retracted his gaze and placed it on the magazine in his hand.
This medical weekly contains a report about their weekly medical clinic.
My grandfather read it twice in a row and was very satisfied with the wording and introduction.
Zhou Sangning was still chattering there.
Xia Sumu felt uncomfortable after drinking a little alcohol, and now he covered his head and hummed without daring to say a word.
Grandpa was so annoyed by Zhou Sanning’s loud voice that he lost all mood to read magazines.
"Sang Ning, talk less, conserve your energy, and rest."
Grandma looked at grandpa, who was still fooling her almost 60-year-old daughter, and pursed her lips to smile.
Zhou Sangning was speaking excitedly, but was silenced by his grandfather's words.
Xia Sumu proudly raised his eyebrows at Zhou Sangning, but in return he got a pair of eye rolls from Zhou Sangning.
He immediately became obedient again.
Grandpa saw all the little movements of the three of them.
After taking a sip of water, he said cheerfully, "Your mother and I only have you as a child, so you can't experience the feelings between brothers and sisters.
The four Sumu siblings grew up together and are siblings, so it is only natural for them to take care of each other.
He didn't ask you to help, so why are you still chattering here non-stop?"
Zhou Sangning was unhappy, "Dad, that's not what I meant.
You know what kind of person my sister-in-law is. It's okay for her to help my brother, but I don't want to help our sister-in-law.
Do you remember how she bullied Wolan all those years?
They would come to our house at any time. My mother was not in good health at that time, and there were old and young people everywhere. As the eldest aunt, she didn't help them, but bullied them instead.
You are open-minded now and have forgiven her, but I can’t do that. I just won’t forgive her and I will never help her.”
Grandpa looked at Zhou Sangning calmly, "You! Your grandson is already in his teens, but you still think of yourself as a little girl.
Did I ask you to forgive her? Did I ask you to help her? "
Zhou Sangning was speechless when asked and sat there sulking.
Grandpa continued, "I just think that you and Su Mu have been married for almost 40 years. You should understand Su Mu's character.
It's not wrong for him to help his brother."
“Yes, I think Dad is right.
Sang Ning, I don't need your help. I know what my sister-in-law did was wrong, but my brother is a good person.
My eldest brother has always loved me very much since I was a child. Whenever he had some money, he would save it for me to spend.
If there is anything delicious, please bring it home for me.
When the indigo plant got into trouble, my eldest brother ignored my eldest sister-in-law's dissuasion and stayed there with us for such a long time.
You forgot all that.”
Zhou Sangning glared at him angrily.
Unfortunately, Xia Sumu didn't see it at all and continued to argue on the side, relying on his grandfather's support.
"Didn't I just treat them to a meal and arrange jobs for those two kids?
I don't need your help, and I won't let my sister-in-law go to find Song Lan and cause trouble for Song Lan and his wife.
Besides, I have watched Jianguo and Jianshe grow up since they were young. Now they are in trouble and they came to me.
As their uncle, I will definitely help them."
Zhou Sangning clapped his hands angrily and left.
As he walked, he said, "You are all good people, and I am the bad guy. If you are willing to help them, don't let me know.
Anyway, I just don’t want to get involved in their family affairs.”
Zhou Sangning returned to his room and took out his phone to contact Xia Songlan to complain, but he called several times but Xia Songlan didn't answer.
Zhou Sangning angrily threw the phone aside and went straight to bed to sleep.
Later, Xia Sumu returned to the bedroom and Zhou Sangning ignored him.
