Chapter 169 Jiang's Father and Mother Arrive
Ha, to put it bluntly, they are outsiders. How could they possibly get a spot? Jiang Yan even doubted whether the previous educated youth actually got it through an exam. They said he was the first in the exam, but they weren't there. Who knows?
Jiang Yan's mindset is one of anger and frustration. Given the contrast with what came before, it's impossible for her not to feel frustrated in this state.
However, no one cared about her feelings.
Lin Gou Dan stepped onto the platform and smiled at the villagers around him: "Dear fellow villagers, hello everyone, I am Lin Gou Dan. You have all watched me grow up. As for why I am standing here today, that's a long story, but I'll keep it short. I, Lin Gou Dan, will become a proper college student. When I return after completing my studies, I, Lin Gou Dan, will definitely become an active member in building the Xiaolin Village production team. At that time, everyone must keep an eye on me."
"Great!" The crowd below applauded happily.
Lin Gou Dan chuckled and said, "Since everyone has given me this spot, I can't let you down. Don't worry, once I get to university, I'll definitely take lots of photos and let everyone see what a big city is like! If anyone else gets into my university in the future, I'll definitely make sure they're well taken care of!"
Looking at Lin Gou Dan speaking above, Lin Tiangen had to admit that the kid was really good at speaking, and what he said was incredibly persuasive.
Lin Gou Dan kept rambling on and on, and the applause from below never stopped. Xiao Tao Hua also kept clapping along.
Jiang Yan: ...
With such eloquence, no wonder he's qualified for university. Jiang Yan suddenly felt that this person might have actually gotten a spot based on his eloquence, and it was well-deserved.
With the university admission issue resolved, the production team quieted down again. Even though Qin Jiajia and Jiang Shang's story had been the subject of discussion for a few days, new topics emerged and their story gradually faded from public attention.
Gossip is all about timeliness; once the time has passed, it's meaningless to discuss it and won't stir up any excitement in others.
Just when it seemed like the matter was over, Jiang Shang's parents suddenly arrived!
Jiang Shang was stunned when he saw his parents standing in front of him: "Dad? Mom?"
"Hmm." Mr. and Mrs. Jiang glanced at their son. Although he looked tired, he seemed to be in good spirits, which put their minds at ease. However, another matter made them worry again.
"Mom and Dad, what brings you here? You didn't even send a telegram to let me know beforehand. Wait a moment, I'll go ask for leave."
"Yes, your dad and I will wait for you here."
After Jiang Shang left, Jiang's parents finally had time to look around. They saw people bent over, busy at work, and even spotted Jiang Yan and Zhu Zhu in the distance.
Thinking of Zhu Zhu, Jiang's mother sighed, "How could it have come to this?"
Jiang's father glanced at her.
He wouldn't have been able to take leave to come if Jiang's mother hadn't insisted on coming.
I'm too busy with work to even have time to see my son who's working in the countryside. Isn't that just asking for trouble?
“Look at you, you don’t care about such an important thing as your son dating. You just lean on your chair like a stick.”
Father Jiang:......
"Sigh, I don't know what kind of person my son is dating. He even gave up on Zhu Zhu to be with this guy."
Jiang's father finally couldn't help but frown: "Where did you get all this information from?"
Jiang's mother snorted coldly: "I naturally have my own sources of information."
"I didn't hear Zhu Zhu or Jiang Yan say anything."
"I told you I have my own sources of information."
"You didn't send someone to spy on your son, did you?"
"What do you mean by surveillance? I'm just concerned about my son. Don't you care about your son too?"
Jiang's father was too lazy to talk to Jiang's mother; years of experience had taught him that he couldn't win an argument.
"Hey, Sister Zhu, look at those people over there, don't they look like your uncle and aunt?"
Zhu Zhu wiped the sweat from her face, looked over in confusion, and then her hands froze.
"Right? It looks like it to me, but how did they get here!"
"Hmm." Zhu Zhu didn't say anything and continued working with her head down.
"Sister Zhu Zhu, should we go over and take a look?"
"You go ahead, I won't go."
"Never mind then, I won't go either," Jiang Yan said, bowing her head to work with Zhu Zhu.
Actually, she didn't know why her aunt and uncle had come. Maybe they knew about Jiang Shang's relationship?
But neither she nor Sister Zhu Zhu mentioned this. Could it be that she really came to see Brother Jiang Shang?
While Jiang Yan was still speculating, Jiang Shang had already pulled Qin Jiajia away.
Jiang Yan's eyes widened, and she cursed inwardly.
Is Brother Jiang Shang really that reckless?
"Sister Zhu Zhu, Sister Zhu Zhu, look, look!"
Zhu Zhu glanced up once and then stopped paying attention.
Jiang Yan didn't care, she just said excitedly, "Brother Jiang Shang is amazing, he's already taking Qin Jiajia to meet his parents. I wonder if his parents will be furious."
Whether Jiang's parents will be driven mad is still unknown, but Qin Jiajia is extremely nervous right now. Although she still appears calm and collected, only she knows that her palms are sweaty.
She didn't expect Jiang Shang's parents to arrive so quickly, and so unexpectedly.
She was at work when Jiang Shang pulled her over.
"Jiajia, don't worry. My parents are very good people. They treated Jiang Yan and Zhu Zhu very well when they were alive. They don't have any sexist ideas. And with me here, you can rest assured."
Qin Jiajia was still worried, but Jiang Shang comforted her, making her feel that it was bound to happen sooner or later, which helped her muster up her courage.
"Mom and Dad, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Qin Jiajia, my girlfriend, and your future daughter-in-law."
Jiang's mother, who already had a bad feeling when she saw her son bringing over a female educated youth: ...
She looked Qin Jiajia up and down. Qin Jiajia felt a little uncomfortable under Jiang's mother's gaze, but she still greeted her politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
After scrutinizing Qin Jiajia, Jiang's mother acted as if she hadn't seen her at all: "Have you taken leave?"
Jiang Shang was taken aback for a moment, but since his mother had asked, he answered seriously, "Yes, please."
"Alright, take me to see where you live."
"Mom and Dad, this is Qin Jiajia..."
"Where is Zhu Zhu? That child has been following you since she was little. We always thought you two would get married when you grew up, so we prepared a lot of things for her in advance. We were even thinking of sending them to you a few days ago."
Jiang Shang said helplessly, "Mom, it's impossible for Zhu Zhu and me. We didn't work out before, and we won't work out in the future. Besides, Zhu Zhu has already given up on me, and I have a girlfriend now. Mom and Dad, this is Qin Jiajia. Jiajia is very good."
"I don't know Qin Jiajia or Li Jiajia. I saw Zhu Zhu. Let's go over and say hello. When I came over, Zhu Zhu's parents asked us to bring something for that child."
"mom!"
"What? You've gotten so big for your britches after all this time out? You dare to raise your voice at your mother now?"
"Mom, you know it's not like that."
"Alright, let's go check on Zhu Zhu and Jiang Yan first. I saw them together." With that, he took the lead and headed over there, with Jiang's father silently following behind.
