Zheng Xiaohu was the calmest person throughout the whole process, and he was the one who most hoped that Fourth Uncle could go to the imperial capital. It was also their chance if Fourth Uncle had this luck.

"Mom, you're just giving Fourth Brother away like that. Are you doing this to Dad?" Zheng Shuifu was so jealous when he heard the news.

In the past, Old Lady Zheng loved him the most. Why did she give such a good opportunity to the fourth child now?

In his heart, the fourth brother is still a big fool who does things silently and doesn't know how to say nice words. If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam Zheng had lived with him for more than a year and changed her mind, he would not believe that such a good thing would happen to him!

Why? !

He kidnapped my mother and also kidnapped my good luck!

Zheng Shuifu firmly believed that if Old Mrs. Zheng still lived with him, this opportunity would definitely be his.

As the son of a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, his whole family will be able to live in the imperial capital in the future. They will not only be city dwellers, but city dwellers in the capital!

"If dad knew in the afterlife that you gave fourth brother away, wouldn't he die with regrets?!" Zheng Shuifu certainly wouldn't say that he was jealous. He couldn't be the son of a high-ranking official, so he didn't want his other brothers to do it.

We are all born from the same parents, so we should be the same.

Old Madam Zheng glared at him fiercely and said coldly, "When your father was alive, he said that there was little food at home and many children, so he wanted to give the fourth child away."

The dinner table was quiet.

Zheng Shuifu said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, can you make up such a thing?"

Old Madam Zheng still had a fierce look in her eyes, "Ask your second brother if I am talking nonsense."

Zheng Yinhu didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement. At that time, many people sent their children away because they could not afford to raise them. The fourth and third children were born in the same year, so Grandma Zheng had to take care of two babies, and life at home was very difficult.

Zheng Guixiang’s heart trembled at first, and then he thought - Dad said he would give him away, but in the end, didn’t he?

"Then why didn't you give it to anyone?" Zheng Shuifu felt that there was something fishy about this matter and it was definitely not like this.

Old Mrs. Zheng didn't explain. It wasn't that she didn't want to give the child away. It was just that the fourth child had a bad face when he was born, and the two families who came to see him thought that the child couldn't grow up and were unwilling to keep him.

No one wanted to give him away, and no matter how much she disliked this child who came at the wrong time, she couldn't bear to leave him out there to fend for himself.

I was raised like this with all the bumps and bruises.

"If you didn't give it away, then you didn't give it away. It's your turn to interfere?!" Old Mrs. Zheng only spoke her own truth. "If your father really has an opinion, I would like to ask him. He passed away peacefully, but he left this whole family to me without thinking about how I should live?! Calculate whether he is the one who has let me down, or I am the one who has let him down!"

"So I worked so hard to raise you debt collectors, but in the end I can't even be your boss!"

Mrs. Zheng's outburst left Zheng Shuifu speechless, and others couldn't say a bad word.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. Parents love their children by trying to find a better future for them. Indeed, no one can say it is wrong.

I regret it in my heart but I didn't say anything. What qualifications do a bastard like you have to talk nonsense here?

However, Zheng Weiyang also expressed his gratitude and gave the other three companies a quota to work in the county town as a gift.

Giving gifts and getting jobs, wow, it’s really good to be an official.

Zheng Juzi looked at Zheng Hanqiu eagerly and signaled with his eyes - how about you consider going into politics?

Zheng Hanqiu turned his face away in disgust.

The elders talked while the younger ones chatted.

Compared to saying that he felt no sense of accomplishment in the capital in front of the Hanqiu sisters, it was obvious that Zheng Xiaohu and others were full of yearning for the imperial capital described by Zheng Yaoxiang and Zheng Miaoxuan.

No one said anything, but everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts - when can they go and take a look?

They even thought that if Fourth Uncle/Uncle's family could go to the imperial capital earlier, they could go and have a look earlier.

In short, despite the minor incident, everyone still enjoyed the meal very much.

After the meal, Zheng Weiyang and others returned to the city.

The Zheng family was still not satisfied - the people were still the same family, but everyone looked at Zheng Guixiang's family differently.

Although their family did not produce a high-ranking official, they did have a son who was a high-ranking official.

Even if he is nominally someone else's child, the child's surname is Zheng and he is related to them by blood, so there is no real change.

Zheng Weiyang said that he would give a work target to the three companies, and Zheng Shuifu was already thinking about going to work in the city.

After the summer vacation, Zheng Qiang will be a sophomore in high school. His son will definitely be able to enter university and become a high-ranking official in the future. With this work indicator, he can naturally move to the city.

The villagers said he was lazy. Was he lazy? It was because farm work was not suitable for him at all. He was born to be a city dweller.

This matter did not take a few days to complete, and Duan Zhihui assigned them three job vacancies, one at the Agricultural Machinery Factory, the Grain Bureau, and the Glass Factory.

Zheng Shuifu grabbed the work quota from the Grain Bureau without even thinking about it, as he felt this job was the easiest.

The second son's extra birth did not comply with policy regulations, and they did not want to earn that little money, so they gave the work quota to their daughter.

The two brothers of the third family felt that the jobs in the city were not as good as those in the countryside, and the houses they lived in were not as big as those in the countryside, so they did not want the quota. They simply sold the quota to others and gave the money to subsidize their daughter.

Everything went perfectly, and the high school entrance exam and the transition from primary school to junior high school ended in the hot summer.

The two villages were officially incorporated into Dongji Town.

Their family is the richest in the village, but in this era there are always many people who are willing to take risks and seize the trend of the times. Their side is close to the national highway, and after the news of the merger spread, two families came here to build factories.

One was a preserved egg factory and the other was a puffed food factory, neither of which conflicted with the Zheng family’s factory.

The preserved egg factory has fenced off an area by the Xishui River beside the national highway to raise ducks, and is also preparing to collect duck eggs in the village. The villagers' income is rising significantly.

Ma Guoming's brick and tile factory business is getting better. His second son was planning to build a four-story red brick house, but his father stopped him - there are only two people in the family, and he still wants to build a house that is bigger than Zheng's? !

Although Zheng Guixiang had no such intention and did not care about it, any new house built in the village would definitely not be higher than two and a half stories, so as not to outshine his family.

Even more than half of the families would build their houses in the same way as theirs, which made the house seem particularly uniform.

After Zheng Feizhou finished the independent enrollment examination of No. 6 Middle School, the whole family set off for the imperial capital.

Zheng Guixiang meant that either she could study in No. 6 Middle School like her sister, or stay in the imperial capital to study. There was no need to worry too much. Although the weather was a bit hot right now, the old lady was in good health. She wanted to go to the imperial capital so badly that the whole family went there without waiting for the results to come out.
