1088 Return to China's South China Sea?
Wu Youai half-closed his eyes and said sleepily: "Grandma, I want to sleep——"
Grandma Jing sighed, "The grandsons of the Zhang family are all married, the granddaughter of the Liu family is married to a junior manager of the Power Grid Bureau, and the grandson's child of the Xie family is now three years old and can help with the housework. Everyone in my family is over 30 years old and still not married!
I'm going to turn into a stone egg. I don't know how many gifts I give out every day. I don't know if I can ever get them back in my lifetime.
Hey, I’m old now, maybe I can only wait until I’m gone——”
Wu Youai immediately said, "Grandma, I'll go with you. I can eat a lot, and I'm sure I can eat more than Grandpa. I'm sure I can make up for what I paid for. If only one person goes to the banquet, won't it be a complete loss?"
Grandma Jing then nodded with a smile: "Hey, Jingshu will be back soon, and it's time to talk about your marriage with that boy. You are already in your thirties, why not get it done before the New Year?"
Grandma Jing kept nagging and cursing before leaving as she took a few brand new gas masks. Grandma Jing's family now runs various purifiers all day long, but there is still a foul smell in the house.
Originally, Jingnai meant not to waste electricity. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little smelly. The pig pens and toilets in the past were not as smelly as this.
But later, many people died of poisoning due to the stench, and the TV reported that people should wear masks properly to filter out the toxic gases in the air, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
So, Jingnai immediately agreed to turn on the air conditioner and filter in the house 24 hours a day. She has lived to this age, so it’s okay to waste electricity, but don’t lose your life over such a small thing. That would not be worth it.
However, because of this, the mask factory opened by Jingshu's granddaughter a few days ago became inexplicably popular, and the masks are starting to be in short supply.
Jing Nai gave the gas mask to the lazy Wu Youai, and the two of them sat in the mini-Hulk to eat together. Jing Nai scolded the female merchants: "The masks made by your sister have always been 1 virtual currency each from the beginning to now. I heard that in other places, some have risen to 3 or 4 virtual coins."
Wu Youai put on his gas mask and grumbled a few times, responding to Jingnai: "Yes, grandma, but they won't be able to jump for a few more days. The authorities are cracking down on them these days. Anyone who dares to raise prices at this time will definitely be punished."
Grandma Jing received so many gifts, and her heart ached when she thought about it. When would she be able to take back the gifts she had given out? "Look, girl, that boy Chu Zhuohua has been staring at us for so many years without saying a word. We finally pushed you to do it, but are you planning to keep doing this?
Otherwise, I'll call her home in a few days and discuss everything clearly, including the amount of the betrothal gift, the amount of the dowry, whether there will be a new house, whether there will be a wedding ceremony, and what the standard of the ceremony will be. I can't let you continue in this muddle."
Wu Youai's ears were callused from listening so much, and she couldn't help but miss her number one shield, her sister Jingshu. Why hasn't she come back yet?
She had just confirmed her relationship with her mentor, but her family started urging her to get married.
Although his mentor also hinted that she wanted to take things further, she felt that it would be better to just let things take their own course.
Then again, Jingshu, that girl, has no clue about life and doesn't even have any decent male friends. Why doesn't her family push her? Why is that?
Wu Youai sighed in her heart, but she absolutely didn't dare show it on the surface. Just as she was wondering when Jingshu would come back, there was a commotion not far away.
Wu Youai opened the Hulk's window and stuck her head out to see what was going on. Jing Nai pulled her aside and said, "Hurry up and go! The wedding banquet is about to start."
But then a commotion was heard: "Go and see, there are many cruise ships and warships parked at our South China Sea Wharf."
"Oh my god, there seems to be an aircraft carrier!"
"You're talking nonsense! These aircraft carriers are strategic assets. How could they possibly be docked at a civilian port?"
"Really? I heard it was a private ship, coming back from the faraway Middle East, and they're unloading their cargo."
"But the dock is temporarily blocked now. I heard there's something confidential there."
"Then go check it out. A lot of reporters have been there. Some say hundreds of ships have been shipped back from abroad. They want to share this good news to cheer people up."
When Jingnai heard this, she cried out, pulled Wu Youai and asked the Hulk to run towards the dock.
Fortunately, the Hulk is fast and Baili only consumes a little food and is still fast, otherwise Jingnai would have to wait for it to go, and who knows how long it would take.
The dock had indeed been blocked, and many people were watching outside. The Hulk was just at the door, and Jingnai stretched her head out to see that there were so many huge ships docked at the dock, wondering if her granddaughter was among them.
