Perhaps considering that Yang Ning would have to go to the courtyard later, and out of consideration for her son's face, Yang Liu finally let Yang Ning go.

"If you dare to give those two weirdos messy things again, I'll punish you." After warning Yang Ning, Yang Liu went back to her room to clean herself up.

"Big brother~"

Seeing that his mother did not deal with his eldest brother, and that his eldest brother was now staring at him with a fierce look, the second weirdo smiled obediently at Yang Ning, and quietly moved back while smiling.

When he felt the distance was safe, he turned around and ran.

But Yang Ning took a few big steps, picked up the second monster, and slapped him hard on the butt several times.

"Mom! Help! My brother hit me!" The second monster knew something was wrong when Yang Ning grabbed him. He struggled in Yang Ning's hands with his short legs and shouted for help.

"Are you bored? If you don't clean up, I won't go!"

The mother's powerful voice came from the house. Although she hadn't appeared yet, the Yang Ning brothers became quiet.

"Traitor, don't expect me to bring you good things again!"

Yang Ning put the second monster down, glared at him and said unhappily.

"I don't want it. If you don't bring it to me, I'll ask my sister-in-law to bring it to me!"

The second weirdo pulled up his trousers and glared at Yang Ning.

"That's my wife, who do you think she should listen to?" Yang Ning was so angry that he laughed at the second weirdo's shamelessness. He was sure to have him in his hands.

"Sister-in-law~" The second monster ignored Yang Ning's threat and ran to Yang Ning's room. Soon, Hu Yinghong's gentle and comforting voice was heard from the room.

"Pack up quickly." At this time, the mother came out carrying a bamboo basket with a red paint on the mouth and said to Yang Ning.

"Okay!" Yang Ning responded like a lackey, and quickly slipped back into the house to change into clean clothes.

"Yang Ning, Yang family sister, you are here!"

When Yang Ning rode the bicycle left for his father and brought his mother to the gate of the courtyard, the third uncle Yan Bugui, who was watering the flowers at the gate, saw Yang Ning and his mother. His eyes lit up under his glasses, put down the shower head in his hand, and walked over enthusiastically.

"Morning, Teacher Yan!"

Yang Ning smiled and nodded. Seeing that he was about to come over to help him get the bike in, he quickly grabbed the back seat and lifted it up. Before he got close, he took a few steps and pushed the bike in.

My goodness, a guy who can even squeeze urine out of a toad, suddenly came up to help so kindly. Yang Ning couldn't bear it.

Yan Bugui stretched his hands in the air, watched Yang Ning push the car in by himself, and smiled awkwardly.

"Sister Yang, why didn't Dagen come with us? We old neighbors haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that he is already an eighth-level blacksmith."

Seeing how enthusiastic Mr. Yan was, his mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "Teacher Yan, just say it if you have something to say. I'm in a hurry to see Zhuzi's wife!"

"Hehe~ It's nothing serious. I just want to ask, did Yang Ning help Damao find the job at the electric car factory?"

"No." As soon as the third uncle finished speaking, the mother replied bluntly. "My eldest son is not a big leader, and he doesn't know the factory leaders, so how can we arrange for Damao to go in?" After saying that, the mother walked in without giving him a chance to say more.

"Hey, hey, hey ~ I haven't finished speaking yet. Does Yang Ning have..." Seeing that his mother was about to leave, the third uncle hurriedly shouted from behind.

"No." Without even turning her head, the mother hurried towards the central courtyard.

"Oh!" Watching the figures of Yang Ning and his mother disappear in the central courtyard, the third uncle sighed. At this moment, he really regretted being fooled by that old man Yi Zhonghai.

Although Yang Liu denied that Yang Ning had found Xu Damao's job, he, Yan Bugui, dared to guarantee that if Xu Damao's job was not arranged by Yang Ning, he would make him lose a dime today... one cent, one dime is still too much.

"Jie Cheng is useless. If he had been as capable as Xu Damao and Sha Zhu and had established a good relationship with Yang Ning earlier, he wouldn't have to worry about his job now."

After returning home, the third uncle looked at the third aunt and Yan Jiecheng who were sitting in the house waiting for news, and said with a look of regret.

"Can you blame me for that?" Yan Jiecheng said unconvincedly, "When I was a kid, whenever I went to play with them, you and my mom would pull me away, saying they were street urchins and my family was educated, so you wouldn't let me hang out with them. Can you blame me for that?"

"Who can be blamed? At that time, the three of them seemed uneducated and unskilled. Who could have thought that Yang Ning would become what he is now?"

The third aunt sighed and wondered whether she should go to Yang Liu to build relationships with her later.

Otherwise, when the eldest brother graduates in a few months, what will he do with his job? If he stays at home all day doing nothing, how much food will be wasted, not to mention how much food expenses he will lose due to the delay in paying for those few months.

No, I can’t think about it. The more I think about it, the more my heart hurts.

"What about the eldest son's job? We can't just wait for him to graduate and stay at home like this, right?" The third aunt felt very uncomfortable when she thought about losing so much food expenses and grain, so she looked at the third uncle and asked.

"How would I know!" The third uncle said unhappily, "I thought at the time that Yang Ning, that street scoundrel, could change, so the solution would be better than him, right?"

"Who would have thought that he could study so well? If he could get into a high school or technical secondary school, he wouldn't have had such a hard time, and he would have been a cadre right after graduation."

"Why don't we go look for the Yang family? They live in the same courtyard, and we were neighbors before. There's no reason to only help the Xu family!" The third aunt was also anxious. Not only was it embarrassing for her son of such a big age to eat for free at home, but the key was the loss of living expenses!
"Okay, I'll go talk to her." The third uncle also realized this, gritted his teeth and said to the third aunt: "Go, get ten eggs that we're going to use to make dumplings for the New Year..."

The third uncle thought about it and wondered if ten eggs would be too many, so he immediately changed his mind and said, "Take six. I'll go to the middle courtyard later to check."

"His father, you don't have a fever, do you? Didn't we go there yesterday and deliver several eggs? Besides, we are not begging the He family, so we won't waste it like this, right?"

When Auntie heard Uncle's words, she thought he was confused. Even if he had money at home, he couldn't give it away like that!

"Just go get it if I tell you to!" The third uncle glared at the third aunt, then said to Yan Jiecheng who was pretending to be invisible, "Take some money and tickets, and go buy some brown sugar."

"Oh!" Yan Jiecheng felt a little distressed when he heard this, but when he thought that this was prepared for finding a job for himself, he felt a little better.

"Except for the Xu and He families, the Yang family doesn't care about us old neighbors at all. We have to find a way through Sha Zhu. Can't we give him some benefits?"

"Besides, how much does a job cost now? How much does this stuff cost? If you can get it done, you can save the money to find a job. Calculate carefully, how much can you save?"

After saying this, the third uncle looked at his eldest son and third aunt smugly, as if to say, "You still have a lot to learn."
