Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 90 DIY
"The boss is right. Now the society is divided into different parts. You should do what is your responsibility." The second boss argued.

A Yao also held the same view. He agreed, "Yes, I agree with Er Lao's point of view. People are born with different natures. I may be less capable than Da Lao, but my literary accomplishment is definitely better than others."

Kang Qirui disagreed with this and turned to look at A Yao with a playful expression. A Yao felt embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Except A Rui." Then he lowered his head to show off his fandom.

The second boss, who was originally watching the show, also started to brag: "For example, I, Kang Qizong, am smarter than you in the business world." It was not Kang Qirui's turn to refute this, and Sachiko, who was away on a business trip, was already praising the second boss. Sachiko looked at the company during this period of time. It has added five franchise stores and one direct store. Now she is on a business trip to assess the franchise qualifications of the sixth franchise store. She is really a strong woman in the business world.

"Have you finished talking? Is this the evaluation meeting?" The old man slammed his chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "You guys are taking advantage of me one by one and you still have so many crooked ideas? I'm telling you, in the future, you can ask me to help you fix things, and I'll charge you per time."

At this time, Yumi walked in and said, "I'm back." Some time ago, Yumi heard that the Humen Fashion Festival was recruiting models for a fashion show, so she ran to sign up. She has been gone for more than a month and just came back today.

Azu gave Yumi his seat, and then asked with concern: "How is it? Were you selected?"

"Alas, I have entered the last stage, but I still didn't get selected." Yumi sighed at first, but she was used to failure. Then she asked excitedly: "What did you say just now? So lively?"

"We were talking about how Guang took a rare day off and ended up working as a repairman at home." The nanny handed a set of bowls and chopsticks to Yumi and explained.

"What we just discussed is that society is constantly progressing, and the social division of labor is becoming more and more detailed. It is impossible to do everything by yourself all the time." A Yao stated his views and ideas.

Yumi shook her head after hearing this and said disapprovingly: "Brother-in-law, you are wrong. Do you know what is the most popular thing now?"

"What?" A Yao asked.

"DIY!" Yumi replied.

"What is DIY?" A Yao asked. "DIY means do it yourself." Yumei explained. Kang Qirui secretly laughed at Yumei for saying "youself" instead of "yourself".

"It means do it yourself. When I came back just now, I saw an advertisement on TV. There is a hands-on ability competition tonight. You can still sign up this afternoon." Yumi continued.

No one was interested in this, only Xianglan and Lao Dou seemed to be thinking about it. Lao Dou said directly: "The TV station can hold such a competition, which means it encourages everyone to do it themselves. You two should learn more."

A Yao still disagreed. He pulled Kang Qirui over and said, "A Rui, tell me, do you support social division of labor or DIY?"

Kang Qirui had never thought about this problem before. He thought about it seriously and said concisely: "I still support more division of labor in society, but only when there is a reward can it be called division of labor. You are just stupid and want to be the boss, hahaha." After being humiliated, A Yao lowered his head to show off his fans, as if nothing had happened.

In the afternoon, Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan were finally able to go out and play. They specifically told Jiao Jie not to cook for them at night, and Lao Dou's mother was very happy. The reason why they were so dissatisfied today was actually because they were worried about Da Lao Guang's childbirth. It was rare for the eldest son to take the initiative to go out with his wife for a romantic date, but it ended up being a failure. It would be strange if he wasn't angry.

In the evening, after dinner, everyone watched TV together in the living room as usual. During the commercial break, Tianxiu picked up the remote control and changed the channel. He suddenly exclaimed: "Auntie. And uncle." Everyone looked at the TV.

On TV, Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan were standing next to a man in a suit. The man in the suit said, "Dear viewers, the champions of our family hands-on ability competition have been decided. They are Kang Qi Guang and Chang Xiang Lan from Xiguan, our city."

Wow, everyone cheered along. The man in the suit on TV continued, "Mr. Kang Qiguang can disassemble and assemble a bicycle in eight minutes, and Miss Chang Xianglan's handmade cloth shoes also received unanimous praise from all our judges."

Everyone clapped their hands, and the old lady laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Guang was so honest, but he also participated in the TV station competition."

"Mom, this is called taking action when the time is right." A Yao said with a smile.

"Big brother is quite funny, why didn't he tell us haha." A Zu was also very happy that Big brother won the championship, "Go into the village quietly, don't shoot, haha." Second sister-in-law's focus was different from everyone else's. She stopped everyone, "Stop arguing, stop arguing, no one can hear what prizes you won." Second brother waved his hand and said, "Oh, what prizes can there be? It's just a space cup, a waist bag, etc."

"How is that possible?" Kang Qirui shook his head. "After all, this is a competition held by a TV station. How can the prizes be so cheap?"

"That's right, at least they are all five-star meals." A-Zu is indeed a foodie, and the first thing he thinks of is eating and drinking. "It would be great if there is a big meal, and the whole family can go together."

The Kang family talked about the prize for more than an hour, saying all kinds of things. They even bet that whoever guessed the closest would have a midnight snack. At about ten o'clock, Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan came back. Everyone lined up to welcome them. Da Lao Guang was surprised and asked, "What are you doing?"

The second brother clapped his hands and said, "Welcome the champion."

The second sister-in-law was concerned about who would get a free midnight snack, so she asked immediately: "What is the prize? Why did you come back empty-handed? Is the prize money?" The second sister-in-law guessed it was a cash prize.

Xianglan shook her head and said, "The prize is a trip." Hahaha Kang Qirui laughed. He already knew the result and guessed it would be a trip. The free midnight snack was his.

"Travel? Wow, that's great." The second sister-in-law didn't guess the result but she didn't get angry. Instead, she happily congratulated Big Brother Guang and Xianglan. The second sister-in-law's temper really changed a lot as she became richer and richer. She continued to ask: "Where are you going? How long will you be gone? I'll give you a vacation."

Xianglan smiled and said, "A five-day trip to the China-Vietnam border."

"Border? That means it's still a domestic tour?" asked the second brother.

"I went abroad and said I could spend half a day in Mong Cai," Xianglan said. "That's right, Mong Cai is Vietnam, how can it not be considered going abroad?"

"Is Mong Cai in Vietnam?" Everyone was not sure, and they all looked at Kang Qirui. Kang Qirui spread his hands, "I'm not a geography major, why are you looking at me? Take a look at the map and you'll know. Tianxiu, go to the utility room and get the map."

Tianxiu was also very curious, so he ran away and came back with a map in a moment. Kang Qirui spread it out for everyone to see, "It's here, Mong Cai, it really belongs to Vietnam."

"Does that count as going abroad?" Xianglan asked anxiously. If it counts as going abroad, she would be the first person in their village's history to go abroad, and she could brag about it.

Kang Qirui nodded, "Of course I do."

"It's OK if I go abroad. I can go back and tell my parents that I finally went abroad." Xianglan said cheerfully, "I won't tell you any more. Let's go pack our bags, A Guang."

"When are you leaving? Why are you in such a hurry?" asked the old man.

The boss stopped and replied, "The TV station said we'll leave after the kids go back to school. We'll leave on September 8th."

As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter. The second sister-in-law tried to hold back her laughter and said, "Sister-in-law, today is only August 10th, and there is still a month before we leave. Isn't it too early to pack now?"

"You think we're moving?" A-Zu also joked.

Listening to everyone's teasing, Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan didn't feel embarrassed. They were very happy now. They went back to their room to pack their things.
