Jian Shu obtained a spatial dimension. Having read countless novels, she immediately hoarded supplies, preparing for transmigration or the apocalypse.
A few years later, Jian Shu had already ...
When Jianshu finished washing up and came out, the noodles were already on the table, so he could just eat them directly.
She walked over and pulled out a chair. "Brother, you are so hardworking. My future sister-in-law is so lucky."
"You are so lazy. My brother-in-law is suffering." Zhao Tianlei retorted reflexively.
Jianshu: “…”
What kind of evil brother is this!
She doesn't want it anymore, whoever wants it can have it!
The meal passed with the brother and sister bickering with each other. You dug up my dark history and I dug up yours. It turned out that those who grew up together are the most ruthless when it comes to stabbing each other.
The final result was that both sides suffered losses and a temporary truce was reached.
After breakfast, Jianshu took Zhao Tianlei for a walk in the family compound, explaining the situation to her as they walked.
There wasn't much to see, but Zhao Tianlei was worried about his sister, who was so far away, without any family nearby to help her. He wanted to learn more about her. After all, seeing is believing. No matter how good a letter he wrote, it wouldn't be as good as meeting her in person.
Jianshu could probably guess what he was thinking, and she went along with him, wanting him to feel at ease. She was really doing well.
However, we couldn't go any further halfway through the journey.
On that short stretch of the main road, they encountered four waves of people approaching them, engaging Jian Shu in enthusiastic conversations that left her a bit bewildered. Were they really that close? Were they just casual nods when they bumped into each other?
It was not until the other party kept bringing the topic back to Zhao Tianlei, asking him in subtle ways whether he was married and had a partner, that she realized what he meant.
This is because he wants to be a matchmaker!
Although Jianshu was eager to try it, thinking about the content of yesterday's chat, he gave up the idea of watching the fun. He fooled the person with a few words, and then he didn't want to shop anymore. The two of them fled back home.
It's real escape, the kind that takes a longer detour just by looking at people from afar.
After running home, Jian Shu sat down on the sofa, breathless. After he calmed down, he jokingly said, "Brother, you are so charming! You just arrived, and there are so many aunts and sisters-in-law who want to introduce you to someone!"
"Go away, what unlucky words are you saying!" Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but curse. Why did he come here? Wasn't it just to escape trouble?
I didn't expect that even though I hid so far away, I still couldn't avoid being introduced to a partner by others.
Seeing that he was truly unhappy, Jianshu stopped joking and poured him a cup of tea to calm him down. "Alright, if you don't want to refuse, then just do it. Can they still bring the girl over? At worst, we can just stay home for the next two days and not go out."
"Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side. If you don't want to go on a blind date, I won't force you to go."
"That's more like it." After hearing her words, Zhao Tianlei's mood improved a lot. What outsiders thought was not important, as long as his sister stood by him.
Jianshu wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but before he could open his mouth, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Shushu, are you home?"
"I'm here, the door is not closed, come in, sister-in-law!" She responded quickly.
Then he whispered to Zhao Tianlei, "The one who came is Sister Xiufang from next door. She has a good relationship with me and is a very nice person."
"I know him. I met him this morning. He was very enthusiastic." Zhao Tianlei nodded.
Jianshu was a little surprised, but it wasn't the right time to talk about this. He thought it must have happened when she was still asleep.
Seeing Wu Xiufang coming in, she went to greet her, "Sister-in-law, are you taking a day off today? I thought you went to work."
"This is my brother. You've already met him this morning, so I won't introduce him in detail."
Zhao Tianlei stood up and greeted, "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, Comrade Zhao, please sit down. We are all familiar with each other, so there is no need to be so polite." Wu Xiufang nodded with a smile, and sat down on the other side of the sofa with Jianshu's arm in arm.
"Why didn't I hear you say you were taking a day off today when I saw you the other day? I thought you were going to wait until the weekend when the kids were on vacation to take a day off." Jian Shu stuffed an apple into her hand and spoke curiously.
Wu Xiufang didn't hesitate. She wiped the apple on her sleeve and took a bite. After swallowing it, she replied, "I made this decision at the last minute. My colleague who was originally scheduled to work with me had something to do on the day we were supposed to be together. As you know, we can't both take a break at the same time, so I thought about it and moved it up."
"I see." Jianshu nodded, and did not continue the conversation, but talked about something else.
The two talked about the gossip in the staff quarters and the children in the nursery. Zhao Tianlei was bored and found an excuse to slip out.
It’s up to him to use Jianshu. He’s already grown up, so he can’t lose it.
After finishing a topic, Wu Xiufang leaned over to Jianshu's ear and whispered, "Shushu, how old is your brother? Is he dating? How about I introduce him to someone?"
"...Sister-in-law, why are you saying this too?" Jian Shu was a little amused and helpless. She was glad that Zhao Tianlei had left, otherwise she would definitely be upset again.
"What? Has anyone else asked about it? I knew that many people would be attracted to Comrade Zhao, a handsome man like him. But Shushu, based on our relationship, I will definitely introduce a reliable one to your brother. I know all the outstanding girls around here." Wu Xiufang patted her chest and promised.
Jianshu was helpless, "When did you start matchmaking?" I never noticed that she was keen on matchmaking for others before.
"Aren't there quite a few unmarried men under Old Zhao? He asked me to keep an eye on them on weekdays to see if there's a suitable one, and he's been thinking about them every day." Wu Xiufang explained the cause of the incident.
"...Sister-in-law, you should pay more attention to that side and don't worry about my brother's affairs." Jian Shu was silent. Compared with Wu Xiufang, she was not very qualified to be a sister-in-law. Gu Mingjing had a lot of bachelors under his command.
"What's the matter? Do you have a partner?" Wu Xiufang asked curiously, but it was understandable that such a good guy had a high possibility of being spotted by someone in advance.
Jian Shu shook his head and whispered, "I'll tell you the truth. My brother came here this time because his family urged him to come. He's very upset now. Don't mention introducing a partner to him."
"Is that so?" Wu Xiufang nodded. "Young people nowadays have their own ideas. Dating has to be something they're willing to do. It's not good for both parties if they're unwilling. Don't worry, I understand what you mean."
"It's because my sister-in-law is sensible that I dare to tell you the truth. If it were someone else, they might say that my brother is too picky and looks down on others." Jian Shu nodded with satisfaction. She was worthy of being the friend she favored, because her ideas were different from those of ordinary people.
If other people definitely don't understand, they will inevitably gossip behind your back.
