Chapter 536 What does it mean to look decent?
After seeing off the guests, peace returned to the courtyard.
Mr. Tan was sitting in the living room drinking tea.
"Tan Chen, although you bought a yard in Beijing, don't forget that the yard is your home. You must go back often." He was afraid that Tan Chen would have his own little home and rarely go to the yard, and he would miss him.
Tan Chen stood up and filled the old man's teacup with tea: "Don't worry, Grandpa, we will definitely go back this weekend."
Mr. Tan was satisfied and asked Tan Shaowen and others to leave with their two great-grandchildren.
After moving to their new home, Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen's lives gradually got back on track.
More than half a month later, the weather has gradually turned cooler.
Gao Ming and Chen Xiangyang boarded the train heading south together.
After visiting the Tan family several times, Mr. Gao finally found the joy that an elderly person should have. Every day he was busy going to Mr. Tan's house to help take care of the greenhouse.
In addition, Mr. Tan gives advice every day, and now he completely ignores the affairs of the younger generation.
Because Tan Chen was busy dealing with the finishing work of the renovation of Brother Dong's house, he did not go home with Shang Ruoting in recent days.
Shang Ruoting, Old Lady Shang, and the aunt who helped take care of the children were playing with Sanbao and Sibao in the living room.
It was not until it was completely dark that Tan Chen came back, and Li Xiang was with him.
Li Xiang is busier than Tan Chen, and this is the first time he has visited since the housewarming party.
When he arrived at the courtyard, he went straight to Shang Ruoting. He first teased the two little ones, and then said shyly, "Sister-in-law, I want to tell you something."
Shang Ruoting was confused at first. Li Xiang met with Tan Chen every day. What was there that he needed to say to her in person?
However, seeing Li Xiang's blushing cheeks, Shang Ruoting had some guesses in her mind, but she did not say it clearly.
"Just tell me what you want to say."
Li Xiang scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Then... sister-in-law, does your classmate Yang Furong have a boyfriend?"
Looking at Li Xiang's embarrassed look, Shang Ruoting almost laughed out loud.
She suppressed her laughter and answered truthfully, "As far as I know, Furong doesn't have a partner yet."
Li Xiang's eyes lit up instantly: "Sister-in-law, is she really single?"
Shang Ruoting asked back, "Why, do you want to pursue Yang Furong?"
Li Xiang nodded vigorously: "I like that girl's personality. She's not shy or pretentious, and she's decent looking too."
Shang Ruoting curled her lips and deliberately avoided the question: "What do you mean by decent looks?"
Li Xiang blushed even more when asked this, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "It's just...it's just that her appearance is very pleasing to my eye."
Shang Ruoting couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha... I didn't expect to see another side of Li Xiang."
When Tan Chen saw his wife laughing, the corners of his lips also rose.
"Wife, you haven't had much contact with Li Xiang. He has many other sides."
Li Xiang was exposed by Tan Chen and scolded him: "Tan Chen, I treat you as a brother, but you expose my shortcomings in front of my sister-in-law."
After saying that, Li Xiang looked at Shang Ruoting again. He had finally mustered up the courage to come here today, not to be laughed at.
"Sister-in-law, can you help me with this?"
Shang Ruoting pondered for a moment.
In theory, it is not a bad thing to help someone get married. Although Li Xiang's background can be said to be legitimate, he was once an idle gangster and now has no proper job.
Yang Furong is different. Not only does she have a good family background, she is also one of the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. It can be said that her future prospects are limitless.
In Shang Ruoting's eyes, it is not very suitable for two people like this to be together.
But if Yang Furong herself doesn't mind Li Xiang's situation, wouldn't it ruin a marriage if I don't help introduce him to her?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruoting said, "I will tell Yang Furong everything about you. It's up to her whether she agrees to date you."
In fact, Li Xiang also knew that he was not worthy of Yang Furong, but after living for more than 20 years, this was the first time he liked a girl so much. It seemed not an exaggeration to say that it was love at first sight.
"Okay, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I can accept the result no matter what it is."
Shang Ruoting nodded: "Okay, I'll tell Furong when I go to school tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door from outside.
Dahuang ran over as fast as he could, barking at the same time.
Tan Chen walked over to open the door, only to see Brother Dong standing outside with a man and woman about his age.
When Brother Dong saw Tan Chen opening the door, he smiled and said, "Tan Chen, I brought you some business today."
Tan Chen quickly invited him into the living room.
Li Xiang also stood up and followed him in. He had tasted the sweetness of helping people decorate their houses. Just from the business of Brother Dong's family, he got a 20% dividend from Tan Chen, which amounted to more than 2,100 yuan.
Although I went to the south with a few friends to take risks and do a few business deals in the past few years, I only made a few thousand yuan each time, and I was still worried.
But it’s different now. This is the result of his hard work and he feels at ease with it.
