After several conversations, Zhou Zhennan was shocked by Lin Qiu's knowledge. He did not expect Lin Qiu to have such a wide range of knowledge.
After the two chatted, they had already lost a lot of time. When Lin Qiu was about to go home, Zhou Zhennan stopped Lin Qiu and asked, "I heard that your mother is currently unemployed at home."
Chapter 18 Chen Qingxiu has a job
Zhou Zhennan was so careful that he even knew about his mother's situation.
Lin Qiu was suspicious, but still nodded.
Zhou Zhennan smiled gently and said: "The canteen of the town's education bureau is short of people. Why don't you let your mother try?"
Working in the canteen was a very popular job in that era. Not only was it in charge of food, but the salary in the Education Bureau was also good.
Lin Qiu was very grateful to Zhou Zhennan. His mother had been idle at home and always told him that she wanted to find a job.
Zhou Zhennan Guanda had many things to deal with, but he could still consider Chen Qingxiu's predicament, which moved Lin Qiu deeply.
Moreover, Chen Qingxiu's current situation makes it difficult to find a job.
What's more, for someone as humble as a canteen helper, Lin Qiu will remember Zhou Zhennan's kindness for the rest of his life.
After returning home, Lin Qiu told Chen Qingxiu about the incident.
Chen Qingxiu has had nothing to do at home for a long time, and she is not allowed to do heavy work in the fields. She is a hard-working person and cannot rest idle.
"Director Zhou is such a good man. Let's go visit him tomorrow."
Chen Qingxiu knew that Lin Qiu had sent gifts to Zhou Zhennan today, but the situation was different now and it was necessary to go again.
Lin Qiu knew that his mother would repay a drop of kindness as a spring.
There is nothing wrong with her mother doing this, Lin Qiu will not stop her, and Zhou Zhennan has really helped their family a lot, so it is natural to be grateful to her.
A few days later, Lin Qiu took Chen Qingxiu and Monkey on the way to Zhou Zhennan's house. This time Lin Qiu brought Chen Qingxiu's two ducks.
This was the best male duck that Chen Qingxiu had selected. She carefully processed it and stewed it for several hours. It was just taken out of the pot in the morning. It was fragrant and the meat was so soft that neither Lin Qiu nor the monkey could eat it. superior.
When they arrived at Zhou's house, Zhou Xiaotong was skipping rope at the door. Her hair was swinging with the big rope, full of youthful vitality, and Lin Qiu couldn't take his eyes away.
Lin Qiu's arrival attracted Zhou Xiaotong's attention, and she slowly stopped what she was doing.
Seeing Lin Qiu bringing a neatly dressed aunt with her hair neatly pulled back, Zhou Xiaotong knew that this was Lin Qiu's mother.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaotong's face was covered with sweat and her hair was a little messy. She felt that she looked a little inappropriate now.
She quickly wiped away her sweat, smoothed her hair, and went to greet Chen Qingxiu.
"Hello, aunt, my name is Zhou Xiaotong. We met last time." Zhou Xiaotong introduced herself. She didn't say hello well last time, but she just made up for it this time.
This was not the first time Chen Qingxiu saw Zhou Xiaotong, but she always thought this girl was beautiful and polite, and she had a good impression of her.
She went over to hold Zhou Xiaotong's hand and praised: "Xiaotong is so beautiful. Auntie brought you some braised pork to beat your teeth."
She knew that braised pork was not an expensive item for wealthy families, but her craftsmanship was unique and they had never tasted it.
The monkey also said beside him: "The meat cooked by Aunt Chen is delicious."
Zhou Xiaotong felt Chen Qingxiu's enthusiasm and lowered her head shyly: "Thank you, aunt, for bothering you. In fact, Lin Qiu also sent a lot of things a few days ago."
Chen Qingxiu said: "That's different. I prepared this for you. No one in the whole village has said anything bad about my braised pork."
Lin Qiu also echoed: "My mother stewed it all night. It's delicious. You must like it."
At this moment, Zhou Zhennan also came back from his morning run. He saw the corners of Chen Qingxiu's mouth raised, pulling Zhou Xiaotong, and the two of them were in harmony.
When Chen Qingxiu saw Zhou Zhennan, she quickly expressed her gratitude. Zhou Zhennan waved his hand casually: "It's just a small matter, no need to show it to anyone."
Chen Qingxiu handed over the meat she had braised. Zhou Zhennan liked braised meat very much and happily accepted it. He also stayed Chen Qingxiu and Lin Qiu to eat so that everyone could get to know each other better.
Chen Qingxiu is a typical rural woman, hardworking and capable. She is kind and gentle. No wonder she can raise a child like Lin Qiu.
The few of them chatted like this until after the meal.
When Lin Qiu was going home in the afternoon, he took the initiative to invite Zhou Xiaotong: "Would you like to play with us this afternoon?"
She pursed her lips, her cheeks pink and tender. I wanted to agree, but because Uncle Zhou was here, I was a little embarrassed.
Monkey fell into the trap and started to brag about Lin Qiu's ability in front of Zhou Zhennan: "We Lin Qiu is very business-minded and led us to make a lot of money. We made several thousand in a few days."
Lin Qiu felt a little uncomfortable listening to Monkey praising him in front of Zhou Zhennan, but it was a fact that he made money. He hoped that Zhou Zhennan could rest assured that he could give Zhou Xiaotong a good life.
Chen Qingxiu also looked at her son proudly.
Zhou Zhennan had heard Zhou Xiaotong talk about Lin Qiu's making money, but he didn't believe that it was done by a kid who had just graduated from high school.
"What is Lin Qiu doing outside to earn so much?" Zhou Zhennan asked. Many businessmen cannot make so much money in such a short period of time.
Lin Qiu knew that he was just making money and doing hard work, and there was no formal job.
"I was just joking around," he said modestly.
It is easy for a fledgling like Lin Qiu to become restless and irritable. But Lin Qiu is very steady and does not show off, which Zhou Zhennan appreciates very much.
Zhou Zhennan felt that it was understandable that Zhou Xiaotong liked Lin Qiu. After all, Lin Qiu was a good boy.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Zhennan stopped caring about the interactions between Zhou Xiaotong and Lin Qiu. Whether they were friends or otherwise, it would not be harmful to Zhou Xiaotong's future.
Zhou Zhennan waved his hand: "Xiaoqiu, just take Xiaotong to play, we seniors will not participate in the affairs of you young people.
"By the way, you just happened to go to the school to see if Xiaotong was admitted?" Zhou Zhennan added.
Lin Qiu got the admission notice first, but there was no news from Zhou Xiaotong's school. Today happened to be the day when the teacher said the results would be released.
Zhou Xiaotong studied well and she and Lin Qiu often discussed problems, but she was still very nervous on the way to school.
Lin Qiu comforted her: "If you usually perform well, you will definitely pass the exam."
Monkey rolled his eyes at them both: "You two good students are worried about not passing the exam, but I am the only one who needs to worry about what I will do in the future."
Monkey is also smart, but his mind is not on study. He always wanted to go out into the society early and work hard to reduce the burden on his mother, so he did not study hard in high school.
Lin Qiu always felt it was a pity, but the monkey himself didn't care much, and now he even made a joke.
Zhou Xiaotong said: "If you study hard, you will definitely pass the exam."
Monkey tilted his mouth and shook his head. He didn't like reading: "I feel sleepy when I see books, so I'd better not suffer that fate."
After they arrived at the school, they saw the list of results posted on the wall, and sure enough, Zhou Xiaotong was among them.
Zhou Xiaotong was still on the list of outstanding students, sitting in a row with Lin Qiu. Zhou Xiaotong jumped up excitedly.
"Lin Qiu, look, I did pass the exam."
"I always thought you could pass the exam." Lin Qiu offered her the most sincere congratulations. Zhou Xiaotong, whom he liked, had always been a smart girl.
Zhou Xiaotong was very happy on the way and made an appointment with Lin Qiu to go to school together.
