"Who would have thought you would do it so quickly? Besides, it was just my idea last night. After all, who doesn't want their parents to be around?"

"Besides, it's so hard to find a job in the city nowadays. I was afraid that it would be difficult for you, so I didn't tell my parents."

"If you are really in trouble here, I will let my parents and nephew go back to my hometown after we have had enough fun in Sijiu City," Li Xiuzhi said embarrassedly to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu washed the vegetables in his hand, put them on the chopping board, and said to his wife while cutting the vegetables, "Didn't I tell you, this is not a difficult task for me or Director Li. I can do it as long as they are willing to keep me."

"Since they are working here, have you asked what will happen to their hometown?" He Yuzhu then realized that he had acted in a hurry.

I have already arranged the job before I have confirmed the situation in my father-in-law's hometown. Fortunately, I can start the job later.

"There are only two dilapidated houses and some private plots in my hometown, and nothing else," Li Xiuzhi recalled what he learned from chatting with his parents today.

"Okay, let's have a good talk with my father-in-law, Jianye and the other two after dinner tonight." After saying that, He Yuzhu heard his brother-in-law's voice outside and knew that he had come home from get off work. He asked Li Xiuzhi to go out and receive him, and he started cooking in the kitchen.

After the family had a happy dinner, Xiao Liang's family left the courtyard and returned to their own home. He Yuzhu and his wife now had time to call his father-in-law and nephew over to talk to them.

"Old man, I did something wrong today. I can't say it was a wrong thing, I just did it without asking you," Li Xiuzhi said to her father a little embarrassedly.

"Little sister, tell me what you did," Old Man Li looked at his daughter strangely.

"Yesterday, I was chatting with Zhuzi, and I said that I planned to keep you in Sijiu City and find a job for Jianye. After all, there won't be much development in my hometown." Seeing that her father asked her to speak, Li Xiuzhi told the couple's private conversation.

"How could you do this? We just came to see you and we will go back in a few days. It is so hard to find a job in this city. Aren't you making things difficult for your son-in-law?" Father Li was very surprised to hear his daughter's words, but he immediately turned around and started scolding his daughter.

"Dad, listen to me, this is not a difficult task for him, and he has already done it. He has found a job for Jianye, and you can stay in Sijiucheng." Seeing that her father was anxious, Li Xiuzhi quickly made things clear.

"It was done in one night, how is that possible?" Father Li was shocked to hear that it was done and looked up at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu smiled at his father-in-law and nodded, "Dad, I have some status in the steel rolling mill. The factory director gave me a position as a formal worker and I can report for work at any time," He Yuzhu took out a work order from the automobile factory from his pocket and handed it to his father-in-law.

Li Xiuzhi's father looked at the work order in his hand, then looked at his son-in-law, and then he truly realized how capable his son-in-law was, and casually gave him a position as a formal worker.

At this time, Li's mother was so excited that she was holding her grandson's hand and couldn't speak, because this was something that they, the old couple, could never do. With this job, her grandson would have a bright future.

"Since there is a job, I won't be pretentious. Let Jianye stay. But you don't need to help with other things. Let him rely on himself. If he can't do well, go back to his hometown and farm." Father Li was afraid that He Yuzhu would continue to help, so he quickly told his son-in-law.

Li Xiuzhi felt something was wrong with what her father said, "Dad, what do you mean Jianye should stay? What should we do with you and my mother?"

"We both have good legs and feet and can live for a few more years. After we have had enough of exploring Sijiu City, we will return to our hometown. After all, no matter how good Sijiu City is, it is not as good as our own doghouse."

"We are content to be able to come to this city and see you in this life, and to know that you are living a good life, not to mention that your son-in-law has found a job for Jianye," Father Li waved to his daughter.

"Dad, Mom, if you are worried about being a burden to Jianye, your daughter's conditions can still provide for you in your old age," Li Xiuzhi was unhappy when she heard that her parents were leaving.

"I don't even need grandchildren, and I still need you, my daughter, to take care of me in my old age. Stop talking like that."

"Let's talk about taking care of me in my old age when I can't move anymore. I will definitely go back to my hometown," Li's father verbally rejected his daughter, while Li's mother nodded and agreed with her husband.

"Little sister, when you were at home, your parents often taught you what it means to be self-reliant and what it means to strive for self-improvement. Have you forgotten?" Looking at her daughter's crying face, Mother Li comforted her with some softness of heart.

"But I can't bear to leave you. It's not that I can't afford to support you. Why do you want to go back?" Li Xiuzhi was a little confused.

"Because our roots are still in that small mountain village. Although it is poor, it is our hometown after all," Father Li said softly when he saw his daughter crying.

"Grandpa, grandma, if you don't stay, I will go back too. I will take care of you until the end of your life," Li Jianye also spoke at this time.

"You idiot, your uncle has worked so hard to find you a job in Beijing, which is something other people would envy. How can you go back?" After comforting his daughter, Father Li began to scold his grandson again.

"A real man has ambitions. You must venture out into the world to find out how capable you are. When your grandparents can no longer make ends meet, they will come to the city to look for you. Do you hear me?"

"You must listen to your uncle and aunt here, and return home in glory to make your grandfather proud. If you keep telling me not to follow you back to my hometown, I will beat you up. You are useless," Father Li scolded his grandson earnestly.

"I understand, grandpa. I will definitely have a bright future." Knowing that his grandfather was stubborn, Li Jianye did not dare to resist.

"Okay, everyone, stop talking and take a good look around the city. My parents-in-law are not too old. We can go back anytime in two years when conditions are better."

“We’ll just bring my father-in-law and mother-in-law over when the time comes,” He Yuzhuo started to smooth things over as he saw the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Everyone chatted for a while before dispersing.

"By the way, head of the family, before my parents pass away, how about you arrange the marriage for Jianye?" Li Xiuzhi returned to her room and suddenly remembered something, and started talking to He Yuzhu.

"That's fine. The girl is pretty and capable of making a living. If you act too late, she would have been married to someone else," He Yuzhu nodded after hearing what his wife said.

He planned to let his wife find a matchmaker in the next two days to arrange the marriage for them, at least to let his father-in-law and mother-in-law feel at ease before they return to their hometown.
