Before, Tian Tian felt that Grandma Lin and the others were biased, but now she sees that they are constantly trying to find conversation and get closer to Tian Tian and the others.
Tian Tian felt a little awkward. She looked at Grandma Lin and knew she didn't want to pay any attention to them. However, for the sake of her two daughters, she had to put on a smile and face Tian Tian's family. Tian Tian felt it was particularly boring.
"I heard that Tiantian is dating someone now. Where is he from? What does he do now? How old is he? How did you meet? What is his family background?" Grandma Lin asked.
"When it comes to getting married, you'd better find someone like your brother-in-law Juanjuan, who is down-to-earth and hardworking, has a job in the city, can earn his own money, and has good conditions. Such a man is promising." Grandma Lin said while hugging Wu Juan affectionately.
Tian Tian smiled and said, "I'm not as lucky as Sister Wu Juan. My boyfriend is from the same school as me, and he lives near the school."
It is obvious that Grandma Lin was not so close to Sister Wu Juan before. She was the most patriarchal and favored the sons of her two aunts. But now, in order to say these words to Tian, she pretended that she loved Wu Juan very much. It was really funny.
When Grandma Lin heard Tian Tian say that her boyfriend was also a college student, her smile froze for a moment. She was always unwilling to admit defeat in her heart. Although she knew that Lin Meiyu was living a good life now, for the sake of her other two daughters, she still had to have a good relationship with Lin Meiyu.
She always felt awkward. Her daughter, whom she had ignored for so many years, was getting better and better, while her two beloved daughters were living the same life as her.
The next second, Grandma Lin smiled again. "If you ask me, the most important thing about a man is whether he loves you. Even if you find a man with better conditions, if he doesn't love you, isn't it all in vain?"
Tian Tian was very angry after hearing this. What Grandma Lin said was just going against her. No matter what kind of partner she found, it would not suit her.
But seeing that Grandma Lin's face was obviously older and thinner than it was two years ago, Tian Tian suppressed her anger.
She is so old, to put it bluntly, how many years can she live? He didn't need to argue with him. They only saw each other once a year, so he could just bear with it.
Thinking of this, Tian Tian controlled her desire to refute and said with a smile: "You are right, grandma has lived to such an old age, she must know more than us young people."
After saying that, Tian Tian lowered her head and fiddled with the poker in her hand without saying anything else. Wu Juan glanced at Grandma Lin, then took her little son to the side and coaxed him in her arms, taking the opportunity to move a little further away from Grandma Lin.
"Tiantian should be graduating soon, right? It feels like you have been studying for many years!" Wu Juan asked while holding the child.
"There are still two years left, but we should go out to work in the second half of next year, and then after taking some classes in the first semester of our senior year, we can secure a job!" said Tian Tian.
Wu Juan felt a little envious when she heard this. "That's great. You have a job right after you get here. Then, Tiantian, will you be a city dweller in the future? Will you be able to choose any job you want?"
Everyone said that she married well and her family was well-off. Her five older sisters all supported her and worked hard. She gave birth to two big fat boys as soon as she got married. But her husband didn't work hard.
It might be because he had five older sisters, each of whom spoiled him, which led to him shouting that he wanted to quit as soon as he suffered a little hardship or fatigue.
He was willing to move. No matter what Wu Juan asked him to do, he was willing to get up and help. But he just didn't have a strong will. He would give up after working twice when he got tired.
This made Wu Juan very worried. Now that the child is young, he can get by like this, as he has his sister to support him. But when the child grows up, the money needed will increase. How can he continue like this?
Those sisters feel sorry for their younger brothers and are willing to provide subsidies. They are not stupid. They have children to raise. How can they allow them to spend money on their younger brothers from their natal family?
Wu Juan also wanted her two children to study like Tian Tian, Tian Zhuo and Tian Yuan, and get assigned jobs after they finish their studies. It would be much better than working in the fields for a lifetime like her.
"That's not the case!" Tian Tian didn't know what Tian Yuan was thinking. She only knew that after Wu Juan got married, she gave birth to two children in three years. She looked very happy, but she didn't know how her brother-in-law treated Wu Juan.
"Because each of us has a different major, he assigns us jobs based on our majors. For example, if you study mathematics, it is impossible for you to be assigned to a position where someone studies Chinese."
Wu Juan nodded, not quite understanding what was going on. She didn't know much about this. "What are you studying?"
"I'm English!" Tian Tian smiled.
"English? What is this?" Wu Juan was puzzled.
"That's what foreigners say. My future job will probably involve communicating with foreigners!"
Wu Juan was curious and asked, "Can you still meet foreigners?"
Grandma Lin, who had just been left alone, heard this and asked curiously, "What are these foreigners saying?"
"Oh! Tiantian can say that foreigners are talkative? Then tell us a few words. It will also help us broaden our horizons!" said Lin Meixia, who had gone into the house to rest.
Seeing three pairs of eyes staring at her expectantly, Tian Tian felt helpless. Was this the legendary time when they would go home to perform for the New Year? Everyone else was showing off their talents, but why was she the one speaking English?
Even though she was thinking this, Tian Tian still spoke a few words in English.
Lin Meixia immediately looked at Tian Tian as if she was looking at a giant panda. "This college student is really amazing. He can even speak a foreign language. But this foreign language doesn't sound as pleasant as ours. It sounds like bird talk!"
Tian Tian smiled and said nothing.
"It's said that Tiantian is in a relationship. What's her boyfriend like? How old is she this year? What does she do? Is she from the city?" Lin Meixia had just sat down when a long string of questions came up.
Tian Tian gasped. Whether to get married or have a partner has become the focus of people's discussion.
"He is one year older than me, and he is a college student like me. We are from the same university, and he is from the provincial capital!"
"That's great! I'm a college student like you, so I guess it'll be a good job in the future, right?"
"I don't know yet. I have to wait for the school to assign me."
"But he's one year older than you. He must be 24 this year. Why hasn't he found a partner before? Why hasn't he gotten married yet at this late stage?"
"He was an educated youth before, and he never found a partner while in the brigade. He only started thinking about it after he went to college." Tian Tian said with a smile.
"That's great!"
