Xue Dagui was originally good-looking. Goui looked like Dagui, so naturally, he was not bad looking either. Xue Niuniu also looked like Xue Gouzi.
Xue Gouzi had been to a private school for many years and wanted to give his son a good name. However, because Xue Dagui felt that it was easy to raise him with a cheap name, Xue Gouzi thought about it and gave his son this name.
Although Xue Gouzi had been studying for so many years, he was not like Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao, who had passed the scholar exam. In addition, Xue Gouzi did not have the intention of running his own business or teaching others how to read. Xue Dagui was afraid that Xue Gouzi would be bullied by others, so Xue Gouzi also helped in the family business and was currently in charge of the accounting room of a shop.
Although Xue Gouzi was a little cowardly, he was very serious in managing accounts and had never made a mistake. Sifu originally planned to let Xue Gouzi manage the accounts of a bigger shop, but Xue Gouzi was unwilling to do so. He was afraid that if he didn’t manage it well, it would delay the business of the shop. He even said that the current situation he was in was perfect for him.
Ever since Xue Gouzi started working at the rice noodle shop, Xue Dagui stopped working there. He said that he was lazy and didn’t want to work any longer. Moreover, his son could earn money now and would take care of him. He wouldn’t starve to death.
Xue Dagui had a lot of savings. Xue Dagui would slack off if he could, but his performance at Xue Ji Rice Noodles had always been top-notch. Not to mention the high monthly commission, the bonus at the end of the year was also very high.
Moreover, Xue Dagui had taught so many excellent salespeople to sell well. Since he didn’t want to work anymore, Sifu gave him a big red packet as a thank-you gift.
Usually, because Xue Gouzi worked in the shop in town, his wife and children would also be there. Xue Dagui was unwilling to stay in town. He said that he used to live in town, county, or even other state capitals. Now that he did not work, wanted to go back home no matter what.
Therefore, Xue Dagui usually stayed at home.
It was also the new year now. Xue Gouzi also had his annual leave, so he brought his wife and children back for the new year.
Xue Dagui usually didn’t take care of the child. Only when Xue Gouzi and his wife brought the child back would he help take care of Xue Niuniu…
As Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked after Xue Niuniu, they heard their father, Xue Dafu, laugh. “It’s better for them to come back. Otherwise, you’d have to cook the New Year’s Eve dinner yourself. Now that they’re cooking and busy at home, you’ll have no one to spend it with.”
“Look at what you’re saying.” Xue Dagui smiled cheekily. “If they didn’t come back, I wouldn’t have come to your place to celebrate the New Year with your family. There’s also Darong, Dahua, and Da Xi’s family. Even if it doesn’t work, we can still go to Xiaoxi’s house.”
“You still have the nerve!” Xue Dafu laughed and scolded, but he was not angry at all. After so many years, there were still some aspects of his younger brother that hadn’t changed at all. He raised Gouzi by himself, built such a big brick house, and married Gouzi off. Now, his grandson was living well. “Niuniu is getting bigger by the day. You should be more careful with your words in the future.”
No matter what, he was still an elder brother, so he could not help but remind his brother.
Xue Dagui laughed and said, “You told me to be careful. You should go and tell Gouzi and his wife to be careful. They wanted to ask the matchmaker to find me a companion, saying that I usually live alone at home. It’s so funny. Usually, all I do is just sleep at home. It’s all because I stay at your house and Yifu and Erfu’s house. You’re all in the same village as me. Why wouldn’t I come? How am I lonely? I think they despise me.”
