The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 446: Extra five_2

Xue Jianian saw that Lu Jingqiu had brought her family’s old man over, and discussed with Grandpa Xue and Grandma Xue, and decided to have them come over as well.

Elderly people together have more common topics to talk about than being apart.

Every Sunday, Lu Jingqiu and Jiang Nanzhou’s family would also come to spend time with the seniors.

Xiao Cheng’s middle school had become a three-year system, and in two years, he would be taking the high school entrance exams.

The kid was clever; there shouldn’t be any big issues with the high school exams.

Lu Jingqiu was thinking that when the time came, she would send him to a key high school nearby.

Their family could move over as well.

The main issue was that Nanzhou was inconvenient for him since he worked in scientific research and sometimes had to go to the army. He also didn’t have a fixed time for getting off work, so living near the family compound was close.

But as adults, they could always overcome these problems; after all, the child was the most important thing right now.

The couple placed a great emphasis on their child’s education.

Especially English, which Lu Jingqiu had been teaching since small; the child had no problem conversing with them in English and was also the top student in this subject at school.

Besides that, Jiang Nanzhou also wanted his son to learn an extra language; in the future, having one more language meant one more potential path.

So the high school that Lu Jingqiu had her eye on offered small language courses.

Luo Xinyue looked at him fussing over his son and teased, "We’ve really gotten old. It’s nothing like before, when we only thought about which store had the prettiest clothes or which restaurant had the best food after work. Now, it’s all about husbands and children."

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "Why, you have a complaint about your Old Shang?"

"Hey, he might get a transfer to the city below."

Lu Jingqiu was stunned, "Ah, are you going over there too?"

"I’m not going; fortunately, it’s just in the neighboring city, not far away. He can come back on Saturdays and Sundays. If he’s busy, I’ll bring our son and daughter to see him."

Lu Jingqiu thought that this was a path a politician had to take; in the future, Shang Ze could become the top leader of West City.

"It’s okay in Lin City, should be very busy, right?"

"Yeah, when his unit is busy, they are genuinely busy; what can be done about it. That is why at work, I don’t want to make myself too busy because if both of us are occupied, who will take care of the home."

"That makes sense."

It was for this reason that Chief Editor Yang suggested that both of them take positions as small group leaders or minor managers, but they both postponed the idea.

It was all for the sake of family.

The two of them were now quite busy at the agency, not just at the agency itself, but crucially because sometimes the city would also call upon them.

Of course, compared to Xue Jianian and Shen Manman, they were relatively free.

It had been a long time since she had seen her, and as they say speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao called them.

He arranged to meet the two of them at Happy Valley.

The meeting place was at Xue Jianian’s place; she was currently living at school with her parents, as Grandpa and Grandma Xue had just arrived.

With several children around, the three close friends finally managed to have some time for themselves when sitting together.

The three did not dare to have Grandma Xue busy herself, instead, they prepared a few dishes on their own.

Sitting in the yard, they enjoyed tea and the dishes.

"Ah, living in a tiled house like we used to was much more comfortable. Now, we have to call to meet up."

Luo Xinyue said, "What can we do? You both keep such a tight hold on the kids, everything is for the children. We have houses so close by, and yet we can’t do anything about it."

Xue Jianian gave her a sidelong glance, "You say that like you’re not strict with yours; your son’s studies aren’t bad at all."

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "Why are we comparing how well our kids study now?"

Luo Xinyue said, "Aiyo, nowadays the conversation is always about the kids. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Niannian, is there something on your mind?"

"Nothing much, just chatting with you guys. Should we open another beef soup restaurant?"

Lu Jingqiu said, "Aren’t you busy enough over there?"

Xue Jianian snorted and said, "I’ve got someone to manage it now."

Luo Xinyue asked, "Who?"

"Xiao Hua, she just graduated and has been with me for a while. I think this girl is good with numbers and understands management. Recently for a couple months, she’s been helping me watch over the two stores."

Luo Xinyue said, "Aiyo, now Yiyi and Xiao Hua, both of the kids, have graduated."

Lu Jingqiu said, "Yiyi is working as Manman’s secretary now. She’s really taking to the role."

Xue Jianian laughed, "If Yiyi is already a secretary for someone else, I can’t let my little sister fall behind, eh? The wholesale market doesn’t need her to manage. I can handle it myself.

For the beef soup side of things, I want to expand, either in the local market or nationwide."

Lu Jingqiu said, "Sure, let’s do franchising."

Xue Jianian didn’t quite grasp the concept of franchising, but if it was described this way, it seemed to make sense.
