Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Two weeks later.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I..."

Zhang Weiguo looked at his brother who was bowing his head, patted his shoulder and consoled him: "It's no big deal, it's just that you didn't pass the exam, you have your big brother.

"But...I..."

Zhang Huguo raised his head, tears in his eyes. He originally thought that he could be admitted to Tsinghua University like his elder brother, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get into high school.

"It's nothing, I just happen to have a job opening here, pack your things, I'll take you to the factory to report in later."

"Thank you, brother."

Before leaving, Zhang Weiguo said to his father: "Dad, I will take you with me to protect the country."

"Meimei, I'll leave the house to you."

"Brother, I...I will take good care of Dad." Zhang Meimei was still so shy.

"You little bastard, your mother has gone to your place, and your father has become a waste, right?" Zhang's father scolded with a smile.

Zhang's father was filled with pride as he watched his two sons leave. Although his second son did not pass the high school entrance exam, he was able to work in a factory, which made the villagers envious.

At the entrance of the alley, Zhang Weiguo said to Zhang Huguo, "Huguo, you go by yourself first. I'll take you to the factory to report after lunch."

"Yes, I understand, big brother." Zhang Huguo looked at Zhang Weiguo who had no intention of going back to the courtyard with him, and asked curiously, "Big brother, aren't you going back with me?"

"We've run out of preserves at home. I'll go to the department store and buy some for your sister-in-law."

Zhang Weiguo explained and rode out on his bike.

After Zhang Weiguo's figure disappeared, Zhang Huguo took a deep breath, picked up the package on the ground, and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhang Huguo attracted the attention of the three aunts.

"My dear little comrade, what are you doing in our yard?"

Third Aunt stared at Zhang Huguo with some suspicion. Ever since the hen from Third Uncle's house was lost, Third Aunt has been very wary of every stranger who comes to the courtyard.

"Auntie, my name is Zhang Huguo, and my brother is Zhang Weiguo."

The third aunt looked Zhang Huguo up and down and muttered to herself: He doesn't look like him at all, he doesn't look very good!

If Zhang Huguo knew what the third aunt was thinking, he would probably start to doubt himself again. They were born to the same parents, and not only was his elder brother much smarter than him, he was also much more handsome.

"Wait here. I'll go to Weiguo to ask for you."

Zhang Huguo originally wanted to say that he knew the door, but seeing the third aunt's vigilant eyes, he had no choice but to stand at the door and wait.

A moment later, the three aunts came to Zhang Wei's home.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, there is a young man at the door who claims to be Weiguo's younger brother. I think he looks quite different from Weiguo. Come with me to confirm it."

Zhang's mother was also stunned when she heard what the third aunt said. She knew that her eldest son had returned to the village to pick up the second son, but seeing that the third aunt also had good intentions, she followed her out.

At the door, Zhang Huguo saw his mother from a distance and waved his hand and shouted, "Mom, I'm here."

Zhang Huguo shouted as he rushed to his mother.

Zhang's mother said to the third aunt: "The third aunt is my second son, Zhang Huguo."

"That's good, that's good." As the third aunt turned to leave, she muttered, "The difference in looks is a bit too big."

"Huguo, why did you come here alone? Where is your elder brother?"

After saying this, Zhang's mother went to help Zhang Huguo with his luggage.

"Mom, I can take it myself. My eldest brother went to buy candied fruit for my sister-in-law."

"Well, come home with mom, I'll make you some braised pork."

The biggest improvement that Zhang's mother has made in Zhang Wei's country is definitely her cooking skills.

In the past, she was a good cook in the countryside, but she could not cook without rice. Her cooking skills could only make vegetarian dishes. But when she came to her eldest son's house, she could not have meat every day, but she could cook meat dishes at least five or six times a week.

Inside the house, Zhang Huguo sat on a bench, looking around the house.

Lou Xiao'e took out a can from the cupboard and said, "Huguo, don't be polite, just treat this place as your own home."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Half an hour later, Zhang Weiguo opened the door of his house with the candied fruit he bought from the department store in his hand, and saw Zhang Huguo sitting on a bench, staring at the TV in front of him.

It was not until Zhang Weiguo waved his hand in front of him that Zhang Huguo realized that his elder brother had returned.

"Brother..." Zhang Huguo called out uncomfortably.

"Okay, stop looking. I'll take you to Shazhu's room first. There's no place for us to sleep here."

"Oh, oh." Zhang Huguo quickly picked up his package and followed Zhang Weiguo.

When I came back from Sha Zhu's house, Zhang's mother's meal was already ready.

Zhang Huguo ate the braised pork while saying, "Brother, is there anything I need to pay attention to when I go to the factory?"

Zhang Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "There's not much to be aware of. You just need to remember one thing: if someone gives you a benefit for no reason, you must tell Big Brother."

Zhang Huguo was a little confused. He was a newcomer to the factory, so how could anyone give him benefits?

But he still nodded seriously, "Yes, brother, I understand."

The main reason why Zhang Weiguo said this was that he was afraid that someone in the factory would set their sights on his silly brother in order to please him. The debt of favor is the hardest to repay.

----

After dinner, I rested for half an hour.

Zhang Weiguo took Zhang Huguo and rode to the steel rolling mill.

The entrance of the steel rolling mill.

"Engineer Zhang, who is this?" the person on duty at the security department asked Zhang Huguo, who was sitting on the back seat of Zhang Weiguo's bicycle.

Zhang Weiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over. "This is my younger brother Zhang Huguo. I brought him to our factory to report."

After dealing with the staff on duty, Zhang Weiguo rushed to the office of Deputy Director Li.

Along the way, Zhang Huguo looked left and right, full of curiosity about the factory where he was about to work.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Enter."

Deputy Director Li looked up and saw that the person coming was Zhang Weiguo. He said enthusiastically, "Brother Weiguo, you are a very busy man. Why did you think of coming to my brother's place today?"

"Brother Li, I need your help today."

Zhang Weiguo pulled Zhang Huguo behind him and said, "This is my brother, Zhang Huguo. Didn't the factory reward me with a work quota before? This is a great reward for this kid."

Deputy Director Li looked Zhang Huguo up and down and had the same thought as Auntie San. They don't look like brothers!

But he still praised: "Protecting the country, right? The young man looks very energetic, not bad, not bad."

When Zhang Huguo heard the compliment, he smiled shyly, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Deputy Director Li, for the compliment. I will work hard in the future."

Deputy Director Li nodded, then turned to Zhang Weiguo and asked, "Brother Weiguo, we are all family members. What position do you plan to give Huguo?"

Zhang Weiguo knew that Deputy Director Li was doing himself a favor, and that he could choose the treatment for others.

Zhang Weiguo thought for a moment and replied, "Brother Li, Huguo doesn't have much work experience. I think we should just transfer him to the logistics department."

Deputy Director Li was also a wonderful person. He immediately took out a few documents from his desk and said to Zhang Weiguo, "Brother Weiguo, take a look and see if there is anything suitable here."

Zhang Weiguo took the document and looked through it carefully, while explaining to Zhang Huguo the responsibilities and requirements of each position.

Zhang Huguo listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After reading the document, Zhang Weiguo thought for a while, and then said to Zhang Huguo: "Huguo, what do you think of the warehouse manager?"

Zhang Huguo didn't quite understand this, but he knew his elder brother would definitely do it for his own good, so he replied, "Brother, I'll listen to you."

Zhang Weiguo nodded, and then said to Deputy Director Li: "Brother Li, please arrange a warehouse manager position for Huguo."

Deputy Director Li readily agreed, "No problem. I'll let the logistics department know right away, and you can go there with Huguo."

Deputy Director Li then personally handled the employment procedures for Zhang Huguo.

"Thank you, Brother Li. I'll treat you to a drink later."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good wine."

Afterwards, Zhang Weiguo chatted with Deputy Director Li about family matters for a while, and then took Zhang Huguo away from Deputy Director Li's office.

Afterwards, Zhang Weiguo took Zhang Huguo to the Logistics Department to report, and took him to collect some things that the factory gave to new employees, mainly work clothes, meal tickets and the like.

On the way home, Zhang Huguo said to Zhang Weiguo: "Brother, thank you."

Zhang Weiguo smiled and waved his hands, saying, "We are all brothers, why are you saying these polite words? Work hard in the future, and if someone bullies you, come and find me directly."

"Um……"
