Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

In the blink of an eye, it is midsummer, and the He family becomes lively again with the return of the fourth son, He Jiahuan.

As the second college student in the He family, although He Jiahuan is not as good-looking as her three older sisters, college students are considered the chosen ones in this era. Even before she graduated, many families were eyeing her.

Since the day after He Jiahuan returned home, there were always neighbors, colleagues, relatives and friends coming to visit with their sons and nephews.

He said he was visiting, but in fact he was just coming to see each other.

"Old Four, you will graduate next summer. Do you have a company you like?"

Now that Liu Meixin is not at home, He Jiali naturally thinks that she should take on the responsibility of "the eldest sister is like a mother".

He Jiahuan chewed a pear and took the time to reply: "Not yet. There's still a year left. There's no rush."

He Jiali said earnestly, "Old Four, there are only so many good jobs. If you don't pay attention and let others take the positions first, you will regret it too late."

"Sister, you are worrying about nothing. The fourth child is a college student. All the companies are vying for him. There is no shortage of jobs for him." The fifth child, Liu Xiaoling, sounded envious, but who could blame her for not being a good student?

He Jiali glared at Liu Xiaoling and said, "What do you know? College students are eager to get married, but my family is not like those in big cities. The children of leaders in many positions are eyeing me..."

"Sister, don't worry about this. I have no intention of looking for a job at home."

He Jiali was speechless for a moment, then retorted: "If you don't look for a job at home, where are you going to go?"

"Shanghai, many of our classmates are planning to go to Shanghai, there are many job opportunities there, and there are also foreign companies."

He Jiali frowned when she heard this: "Why would a girl like you run so far? You should find a job at home and find a suitable partner to marry..."

"Oh, big sister, you are too old-fashioned. Why should girls only stay at home? There is a huge world outside, why can't they go out and try their luck? If I had the brains of the fourth child and had gone to college, I would go to Shanghai and work for a foreign company. It would be so impressive to tell others about it."

He Jiali glared at Liu Xiaoling who had been contradicting her: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

He Jiahuan threw away the pear core that had been eaten clean, wiped his mouth, and said to He Jiali: "Sister, don't worry about my work. I have already made an appointment with my classmates to go to Shanghai. Tianjia'an is too small, I want to go out and have a look."

"Dad, please talk to the fourth child." Seeing that she could not persuade him, He Jiali could only look to He Changsheng for help.

He Changsheng just shook his head and sighed: "Girls grow up and cannot be kept. How can a junior high school student like me control her when she is a college student?"

"But……"

As they were talking, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Qin Hao and He Jiawen came back with their son Qin Ming.

He Jiali was like seeing a savior, and quickly said to He Jiawen: "Second brother, please persuade the fourth brother, she is determined to go to Shanghai, what's wrong with the family, we are all here, we can take care of each other, she went to Shanghai alone, if she gets sick, there is no one to take her to the hospital."

He Jiawen advised her instead: "Sister, the fourth child is not a child anymore. I believe she made this decision after careful consideration. It's not a bad idea to go out and try your luck while you are still young."

"Second sister is the one who understands me." He Jiahuan took He Jiawen's arm affectionately.

He Jiali looked depressed: "Okay, you are all good people, and I am the only bad guy."

After Qin Hao handed his son to He Changsheng, he consoled her, "Sister, times have changed. In the past, everyone had a stable job and ate from the same pot. The gap between us and the big cities was not that big. But as reform and opening up go deeper, the gap between cities and towns will become bigger and bigger."

"It's a good idea for Lao Si to go out and try her luck while she's still young. Even if she doesn't make a name for herself, it will be easy for her to find a job when she comes back with her college degree."

When He Jiali heard Qin Hao say this, she completely lost her temper and could only run to the kitchen to vent her dissatisfaction at a cabbage.

"Brother-in-law, I knew you would support me."

Qin Hao sat in front of He Jiahuan and said seriously, "You plan to work for a foreign company. Do you have a favorite company?"

"Not yet." He Jiahuan shook his head.

"Foreign companies are different from state-owned enterprises. What they focus on when recruiting is not your test scores, but your ability to learn and solve problems. In addition, foreign languages, your oral English needs to be improved..."

He Jiahuan quickly wrote it down carefully.

About half an hour later, Zhang Jianguo finally arrived with his son Zhang Tunan.

"Second uncle, when will you teach me how to play basketball again?"

At this time, Zhang Tunan was already ten years old. Because Qin Hao changed He Changsheng's fate, the He family was no longer dominated by women. Zhang Tunan did not grow up surrounded by women, nor did he develop bad habits. He was well-behaved and sensible since he was a child.

"That depends on your final exam results. We agreed last time that if your average score in the main subjects is above 90, I will teach you how to play basketball."

Zhang Tunan proudly took out two test papers from his schoolbag: "Look, uncle, one has 97, and the other has 95."

"Okay, you've made progress. Let's go to the basketball court after lunch."

"Uh-huh."

Zhang Jianguo rubbed his son's head and was about to say something when He Jiali asked him to go to the kitchen to help.

Hearing He Jiali's tone, Zhang Jianguo felt something was wrong and quickly looked at Qin Hao: "Who provoked her again?"

"The fourth child wants to go to Shanghai. We all support her. Maybe she feels isolated. You can go in and go along with her later." Qin Hao said with some gloating.

Although Zhang Jianguo is tall and strong, he is dominated by his wife at home. He is the leader outside and He Jiali is his leader at home.

"Alas, you guys always make me take the blame for all the troubles I cause." Zhang Jianguo walked into the kitchen with a fearless attitude.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of Zhang Jianguo's restrained and forbearing breathing was heard.

At the dinner table, the whole family raised their glasses to welcome He Jiahuan's return.

"Thank you, Dad, thank you, my sisters, and my three brothers-in-law."

It can be seen that He Changsheng was really happy. He dragged Qin Hao and Zhang Jianguo to drink a lot of wine. Ouyang Bao was fawning and kept picking up food for He Jiayi, perfectly interpreting what a wife-slave is.

Seeing that He Changsheng was in a good mood, He Jiali suggested, "Dad, Mom and Lao Liu have been away for a while, why don't we let them come back?"

After saying this, she kept winking at the other sisters, asking them to contribute as well.

Just as He Jiawen and He Jiayi were about to speak, they were stopped by He Changsheng's look.

"I heard that your mother retired and let Lao Liu take over, but within less than a month, Lao Liu offended all the leaders and was fired from the seasoning factory?"

Now He Jiawen and the others didn't know how to start.

"Dad, Mom is retired now, and her pension is not enough to support her and the sixth child. Mom is going to be a self-employed person and sell pickles at the farmer's market..."

He Changsheng closed his eyes and slowly said to He Jiali, "Boss, I know you feel sorry for your mother, but your mother has completely lost her principles for the sake of the sixth child. In the past, do you dare to believe that she would give up the job she had worked hard for for more than 30 years?"

"At the beginning, for the sake of a model worker, she stood in the sun for a whole day with her big belly."

Seeing He Changsheng choking up several times, He Jiali knew that her father was thinking about the child who had not yet been born.

"Sixth child has been spoiled by your mother to the point of being lawless. She always thinks that no matter how big a mess she makes, as long as she acts like a spoiled brat, your mother will fix it for her. If your mother can't fix it, there are still you sisters. If that doesn't work, there are still your brothers-in-law."

"I can forgive Lao Liu's misbehavior, but I can't just watch her drag our whole family into the quagmire!"

After He Changsheng finished speaking, Qin Hao, Zhang Jianguo and Ouyang Bao looked at each other and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this father-in-law.

With such a sober father-in-law in charge, the family will not break up.

……

While the He family was getting together, He Jiaxi's life was a bit miserable. Liu Meixin used countless connections to try to find her a job, but thanks to her "great achievements" in the seasoning factory, no factory dared to hire this troublemaker.

For half a month, He Jiaxi couldn't even get a temporary job, but Liu Meixin spent almost all of her savings, which were already meager, on gifts.

But after getting used to this kind of job that doesn't require working, He Jiaxi actually feels that it is actually quite good not to work. When he is out of money, he can just ask Liu Meixin for money. As long as he says a few nice words, Liu Meixin will basically agree to his request.

Of course, lying at home all day doing nothing was boring, and as time went by, He Jiaxi got to know some idle people in society.

All day long he either played billiards and ice-skating, or went to the video hall to watch Hong Kong movies and break-dance. He lived a very carefree life.

But in this way, Liu Meixin's money was spent like water.

Liu Meixin, who couldn't bear it any longer, wanted to persuade He Jiaxi not to spend money lavishly, but He Jiaxi's gangster friends ridiculed her. He Jiaxi's self-esteem was hurt, so he took money out of Liu Meixin's pocket.

"If you hadn't insisted on divorcing my father, I wouldn't have a father and so many sisters and brothers-in-law, and I wouldn't have ended up like this today. You owe me this." He Jiaxi said righteously and then walked away.

Liu Meixin was stunned. Is this still her well-behaved and obedient little girl?
"It must be a bad habit I picked up from hanging out with those hooligans. Yes, it must be like this, otherwise Lao Liu wouldn't treat me like this."

Liu Meixin talked to herself, as if she was persuading herself.

That day, when He Jiawen came home from get off work, he saw Liu Meixin standing and wandering at the door of his house.

"Mom, why don't you come in?"

He Jiawen quickly invited Liu Meixin in. As soon as Liu Meixin sat down, she pulled her arm and cried.

"Mom, is something wrong? Tell me quickly."

Liu Meixin then explained the situation again, and repeatedly emphasized that Lao Liu became like this because he hung out with those little hooligans.

He Jiawen was speechless for a while: "Mom, Lao Liu treated you like this, why are you still speaking for her?"

"Second brother, no, the sixth brother is still very filial. It was only after following those people for a long time that she became bad..."

Coincidentally, Qin Hao also came back from get off work at this time, and He Jiawen told him about the situation.

"Mom, just tell me straight, you want me to do something with Jiawen."

Liu Meixin seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw: "I knew that Haozi, you are the best and you will not ignore us."

"Lao Liu just doesn't have a job and has nothing to do every day, so she learned bad things from those little hooligans. If she had a job, she wouldn't be like this."

He Jiawen couldn't believe his ears: "Mom, you don't want Haozi to arrange a job for Lao Liu, do you?"

"I know that Laoliu was ignorant before and let Haozi down, but she regretted it later. She told me many times that if she had known this would happen, she would have stayed in Longwan Town..." Liu Meixin hurriedly spoke well of He Jiaxi.

"Mom, Lao Liu is not regretting it. She is not satisfied with your job. How could she, who is so smooth-talking, offend all the leaders in the factory within less than half a month of working? She is clearly begging to be fired and wants you to help her find another job!"

Before Liu Meixin could finish her words, Qin Hao couldn't help but interrupt her.

"No, no, Lao Liu won't do that." Liu Mei Xin kept shaking her head, not knowing whether she didn't believe it or was unwilling to believe it.

He Jiawen supported the shaky Liu Meixin and said, "Mom, you really can't spoil Lao Liu like this anymore. If you continue like this, she will really be ruined."

"Forget it if you don't want to help me. I don't need your help. I can handle this with Lao Liu by myself."

Liu Meixin pushed He Jiawen away and stumbled out.

He Jiawen chased out with red eyes, but was thrown away by Liu Meixin again.

"How could my mother become like this?"

Qin Hao supported He Jiawen from behind: "A gambler will not admit that he has lost before leaving the table."

"Then I..."

"There's nothing you can do now, at least not until she loses all her chips."

Just as Qin Hao said, Liu Meixin was like a gambler, repeatedly betting her chips on He Jiaxi. In order to provide for He Jiaxi's daily expenses, she had to start renting a stall in the farmer's market and selling eight-treasure pickles.

Of course, the reason she was able to rent a cheap stall so smoothly was naturally because He Jiali helped her to smooth things over.

It must be said that Liu Meixin's cooking skills are quite good. The eight-treasure pickles she makes are favored by many customers, and the money she earns far exceeds her salary.

At first, Liu Meixin was very proud: Even if you don’t help me, I can still find a way to support Lao Liu.

But when He Jiaxi learned that she could earn so much money every day, his appetite became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more generous.

Those idle young men in society were all looking for favors from others. Seeing that He Jiaxi had money, they all praised her highly.

He Jiaxi had never been treated like this since he was a child. He felt elated immediately and waved his hands in joy.

"All expenses for tonight are on me!"

It feels so good to have money!
From then on, a group of young people would follow He Jiaxi every day.

But in this case, Liu Meixin would be miserable, because the money she earned every day was not enough for He Jiaxi to squander.
