Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1164 Never try to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep

It was a rare occasion for the whole family to get together, and the atmosphere at the table was extremely warm. They toasted each other, and soon He Changsheng's face was red from drinking. He held Zhang Jianguo with his left hand and Qin Hao with his right hand, and spoke sincerely.

"Jianguo, Haozi, it is a blessing for Jiali and Jiawen to marry you, and it is also a blessing for me."

Qin Hao and Zhang Jianguo looked at each other and said quickly.

"Dad, look at what you said..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by He Changsheng: "Jianguo, Haozi, these are all my true words."

"I know Jiali's temper. She has given a lot of money to our family over the years. Thanks to your tolerance, Dad has seen it all."

Then he said to Qin Hao: "Jiawen has been pulled up by you since she was a child. If you hadn't given her tutoring every day, Jiawen wouldn't have been able to get into Jinling University, and she wouldn't have such a bright future now."

"If there's more, I won't say more. We just drink a glass between father-in-law and son-in-law, and it's all in the wine."

"Okay, it's all in the wine."

Qin Hao drank the wine in the glass. With such a reasonable father-in-law, the He family's family tradition would not be distorted.

Seeing that He Changsheng had drunk a little too much, sisters He Jiali and He Jiawen advised him to drink less.

"It's okay. Dad is in a good mood today and didn't drink much."

Liu Meixin looked at her two sons-in-law and suddenly something happened to her.

"Jianguo, Haozi, you two are both cadres now, you can't just stand by and watch your father-in-law being bullied, right?"

Zhang Jianguo and his wife He Jiali looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Mom, who bullied my dad?"

He Changsheng's face changed and he complained, "Today is such a happy day, why are you saying this?"

Liu Meixin snorted, "Back then, when you were bullied by Big Boss Tang, you despised me for not giving you a boy and didn't dare to say anything. Now both of your brothers-in-law are cadres, and you are still being bullied..."

"Mom, who bullied Dad?" He Jiawen asked with a frown. Although He Jiali has always been the eldest in the family, she is actually the daughter who has spent the longest time with He Changsheng. As for her feelings for He Changsheng, probably only He's grandmother can be deeper than hers.

Liu Meixin ignored He Changsheng's obstruction and told him that the factory did not allow He Changsheng to go on business trips.

Zhang Jianguo felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. The Armed Forces Department was not a local authority department, and his connections were basically all with the military. The leather factory where He Changsheng worked was a subordinate unit of the Foreign Trade Bureau, and he had no connection with it at all.

Qin Hao naturally knew what was going on, but he was the one who hired someone to do this, so he naturally wouldn't shoot himself in the foot.

Seeing that Qin Hao and Zhang Jianguo remained silent, Liu Meixin couldn't help feeling annoyed.

"You are such a high-ranking cadre, and you just watch your father being bullied?"

Zhang Jianguo was about to explain when Qin Hao nudged him with his foot under the table.

"Mom, I heard about this from my dad, and I also asked someone about it. Recently, it is advocated that young people should take on more responsibilities. Besides, although business trips can make some money, it is also hard work. Dad is not young anymore, and he will retire in a few years to enjoy his old age. It is good for him not to be on business trips."

He Jiawen thought what Qin Hao said made sense: "Yes, Dad, every time you go on a business trip, you look pale and thin. You need a week or so to recover after you come back. The factory doesn't arrange business trips for you, so you can stay at home and recuperate."

Liu Meixin curled her lips and said, "That's easy for you to say. You're having an easy life now. There are so many mouths to feed at home."

When He Jiawen was working, she would hand over two-thirds of her salary to her family every month, leaving one-third as pocket money. However, since she went to university, she has never paid money to her family again, and Liu Meixin has always felt resentful about this.

If He Changsheng hadn't felt that it was not easy for his daughter to work outside, and in a government agency, her food, clothing, housing and transportation could not be too shabby, otherwise people would look down on her, he would have kept Liu Meixin from speaking. She would have taken this opportunity to ask He Jiawen for her salary.

He Jiawen was about to say that he could pay, but was stopped by Qin Hao's look.

"Dad, if you have any difficulties at home, you can always tell me. As long as we have something to eat, you will never go hungry."

Zhang Jianguo also echoed: "Yes, Dad, there are also me and Jiali."

Liu Meixin was not satisfied with Qin Hao's answer, but He Changsheng was very moved. He held Qin Hao and Zhang Jianguo's hands, one on each side, and said, "Good, good children, you are both responsible children. The proudest thing in my life is to have you two sons-in-law."

"Dad, what you said is biased. It's because you had my eldest sister and my second sister first that you have these two good sons-in-law."

The third brother He Jiayi's words made the originally serious atmosphere become cheerful again.

He Changsheng picked up the wine glass and said, "Old Third is right, but I have to thank mom first. Without mom, there would be no me. I also have to thank Mei Xin. Without you, I wouldn't have so many good daughters."

Grandma He said with a smile: "Then let's all raise a glass together."

"it is good."

No matter how reluctant Liu Meixin was, she had to raise her glass. However, the wine was so spicy that her throat hurt and she couldn't swallow it.

After dinner, He Changsheng fell drunk, and Qin Hao and Zhang Jianguo worked together to send him back to bed.

He Jiali and He Jiawen helped with the housework, but Liu Meixin was still unwilling to give up and went to the kitchen.

"Jia Wen, you've been doing this job for two years, right?"

"Well, what's wrong, Mom?" He Jiawen asked puzzledly.

Liu Meixin looked at He Jiali: "Look at your elder sister..."

Before she could finish her words, Qin Hao and Zhang Jianguo came in. Liu Meixin couldn't help feeling guilty, so she had to change the subject: "Tunan is already 5 years old, why is there still no movement in your belly? This is not good, we have to hurry up."

"Mom, you are too impatient. Haozi has just expressed his intention to have the baby next year. Besides, according to the current family planning policy, you can only have one child whether it is early or late. Why rush?" Seeing He Jiawen's embarrassed face, He Jiali hurried to excuse her.

Seeing that her goal could not be achieved, Liu Meixin had to find an excuse to look after He Changsheng and went out.

After Liu Meixin left, Zhang Jianguo whispered to Qin Hao: "What did you mean by kicking me under the table just now?"

"It was my connections that helped us avoid our father's business trip."

He Jiali and He Jiawen looked at Qin Hao in shock.

"So it's you who's causing all the trouble. I was wondering why you didn't let me take over our mother's conversation."

Qin Hao lowered his voice and said, "Some time ago, I kept having dreams at night. I dreamed that my father got into a car accident while on a business trip. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but I had the same dream for several nights in a row."

"Is it so weird?" He Jiawen's initial disdain gradually turned into nervousness.

Zhang Jianguo retorted: "You two are top students at Jinling University, why are you writing to each other like old women?"

"Brother-in-law, Haozi's dreams really do come true. We have tried it before." He Jiawen said with a serious face.

Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw this. What He Jiawen said was actually something he used to tease He Jiawen. There was an old man who made breakfast downstairs of his dormitory. They became familiar with each other after a few visits. He Jiawen never paid attention to him, so Qin Hao lied to him and said that he dreamed that the old man would not come tomorrow.

In fact, the old man went home to visit relatives and mentioned it to Qin Hao when they were chatting. As a result, He Jiawen believed it. Of course, it was mainly because Qin Hao had shown He Jiawen a mature and steady side before, and when he suddenly said that, He Jiawen took it seriously.

He Jiali listened to her sister's weird words and immediately took it seriously: "Well, if that's the case, it's better for our dad not to go on a business trip."

"How come you've become superstitious as well?"

As a soldier, Zhang Jianguo is a staunch materialist.

He Jiali said confidently: "This is not called superstition, this is called it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Anyway, our father is old, there is no need to mess around for that little extra money."

"Yes, life at home is much better now than it was back then. Pork is no longer limited. It's not as difficult as our mom said."

Zhang Jianguo looked at the three people helplessly. He was alone and helpless now, and this matter concerned his father-in-law's life after all. If something really happened, wouldn't he become the culprit?
Qin Hao was secretly relieved to see that they had reached an agreement. After all, he couldn't be at home often. What if Zhang Jianguo couldn't stand Liu Meixin's nagging and really asked someone to smooth things over and send He Changsheng on a business trip? When he came back, he might only see He Changsheng's black and white photos.

After finishing the housework, Qin Hao took He Jiawen back to his own home next door. Today was not the weekend, Qin Hongqi and Zhou Guilan were still at work, and He Changsheng and Liu Meixin had taken leave specifically to pick up the old lady. Now, only Qin Hao and He Jiawen were left at home.

"My mother wanted me to hand over my salary just now. Why did you stop me? Our family doesn't lack that little money."

After sitting down, He Jiawen used the hot water in the thermos to make Qin Hao a cup of tea to help him sober up.

"It's true that our family doesn't lack that little money, but how do we divide it?"

Qin Hao took a sip of tea and continued, "If the family is in trouble, we can lend a hand. This is the responsibility of family members. But as you said, life at home is much better than before. You didn't enjoy much when you were at home. Now you are asked to hand over your salary so that your sisters can enjoy the benefits. I think this loophole should not be opened."

"But it wasn't easy for my parents to raise me..."

He Jiawen understood the truth, but he still felt a little conflicted.

"We should repay our parents for their kindness in raising us. When they get older, we can take them in and provide for their retirement. But we can't hand over the salary. Now my mother is the housekeeper. Once you hand over the salary, she will get used to thinking that the family has this much money every month."

"We will have children in the future, and we need to support my parents, plus we have to deal with social interactions every day. There will definitely be a day when our salary is not enough to spend. If you ask our mom for that part of your salary back, she will definitely be dissatisfied with you. She will definitely tell your sisters, and then your sisters will also misunderstand you."

"We spent a lot of money, but ended up with nothing good. That's why I told you not to continue this conversation."

He Jiawen thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

"But my eldest sister has been handing in her salary. Should I remind her?"

Qin Hao waved his hand: "Don't you know your elder sister's personality? She still thinks of herself as a girl from the He family. She doesn't care about her family at all. In her opinion, it's her duty to work like a slave for the He family."

"Never try to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep."

He Jiawen said quietly: "Then why did you tell me this?"

"Because I have enough confidence in you to distinguish right from wrong and to face your own problems."

He Jiawen couldn't help but fall into deep thought when she heard this. If she hadn't been admitted to university and hadn't been baptized by university thoughts, would she still be able to distinguish right from wrong and face her own problems as Qin Hao said?

"My eldest sister's academic performance was very good at that time, but she happened to live in that era..."

He Jiawen leaned on Qin Hao's shoulder and murmured.

Qin Hao was just about to comfort her when the courtyard door was pushed open and the third brother He Jiayi sneaked in.

"Hey, second sister, did my second brother-in-law disturb you?"

He Jiawen sat up straight at once, and Qin Hao gave He Jiayi a displeased look.

"What do you say?"

Seeing Qin Hao's unfriendly tone, He Jiayi shrank his neck: "How about I come back later?"

"Third brother, don't listen to his nonsense. You came at the right time. We sisters haven't talked alone for a long time." He Jiawen rolled her eyes at Qin Hao and pulled He Jiayi in.

He Jiayi raised her chin proudly: "Second sister still loves me."

After sitting down, He Jiayi first chatted with He Jiawen about some trivial matters, and then could not help but reveal his true purpose.

He Jiawen looked at Qin Hao with some embarrassment after hearing this: "How about you find a way for the third brother?"

"Handicraft factory? I don't have that kind of opportunity."

He Jiayi quickly took Qin Hao's arm and acted coquettishly: "Brother-in-law, please help me. As long as you help me this time, I will never go west if you point east in the future."

"I definitely can't help you with the handicraft factory, but if you don't mind the clerical job in the township government, I can help you find a way."

He Jiayi was overjoyed when he heard this. Although the handicraft factory was a stable job, it was nothing compared to the job in the township government.

Do you still despise such a job? Pah, am I, He Jiayi, worthy of saying the word "despise"?

"Do you really have a connection? You won't violate discipline, will you?" He Jiawen asked with some concern.

Qin Hao shook his head gently: "Don't worry, the third child is a high school graduate after all, and meets the recruitment requirements of the township government. Besides, the township government does not have a set number of civil servants, so it cannot be said that he violated discipline."

"Brother-in-law, you are really my brother-in-law."

He Jiayi was so excited that she danced with joy. Her mind began to emerge with scenes of her working in the township government and walking with her chin up in front of her neighbors.

"Well, brother-in-law, our father is still looking for a place in the handicraft factory for me. Should I tell him?"

Qin Hao smiled secretly. This third brother was quite cunning. He seemed to be asking whether He Changsheng should give up the opportunity to run the handicraft factory, but in fact he was testing whether the work of the township government was reliable.

"Tell Dad about this so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

"Okay, when dad wakes up, I'll tell him that I won't disturb you and my sister anymore. I wish you a baby soon."

He Jiawen looked at his sister's back and spat, "This damn girl."
