Chapter 24: Front Row Eating Watermelon
But within a day, the news of Jian Yiwei's success spread throughout the candy factory's staff quarters.
Some are jealous, some are envious, some are jealous, but the majority are envious.
As Jian Qingyi and Jian Zhongliang strolled along the way, they were filled with envy.
Everyone thought that the Jian family had a capable descendant.
Compared to Jian Zhongliang's pride, Jian Qingyi frowned frequently when listening.
Who the hell spread this?
[He and Zhou Hao are sworn brothers.]
[I have a life-or-death relationship with that Political Commissar Lu.]
[From now on, he will be the "Prince Consort" of the Capital City.]
…
Could it be any more outrageous?
After hearing so many Arabian Nights stories, Jian Zhongliang began to doubt.
"Yiyi, has your elder brother told you about these things?"
If we say that Jian Yiwei is valued by his leaders, it is Thaksin.
After all, his eldest nephew is down-to-earth and calm, and is a capable person.
But what those people in the courtyard were talking about was "Prince Consort"...
He really couldn't believe a word of it.
If a princess were to marry, she would marry the number one scholar. How could she possibly marry an uneducated commoner?
"Don't listen to those people's nonsense. Isn't there an old saying that goes, if you bring money, you have to give it, and if you bring words, you have to talk more. Those people are just talking nonsense." Jian Qingyi chuckled.
If the story continues for a while, I wonder if Jian Yiwei will be portrayed as an omnipotent hero.
"Did your elder brother say anything to you?" Jian Zhongliang looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Dad, everything in the army is confidential. What do you think my brother can tell me?" Jian Qingyi asked instead of answering.
Although Zhou Hao's actions yesterday were unreasonable, the Jian family was just an ordinary family with no money or power, and Jian Yiwei was just an unknown little guy in Beijing...
Jian Qingyi really couldn't figure out what was there to gain from such a family?!
Jian Zhongliang was silent.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, he hurriedly turned around and walked back, "Come on, let's go to your grandfather's house."
Jian Qingyi was originally not very interested in the affairs of Jian Dashan and Mao Chunqiao, but it was obvious that Jian Zhongliang was in a state of anxiety.
She suddenly became interested again.
"Yi Yi, hurry up!" Not hearing any footsteps behind him, Jian Zhongliang turned his head and urged.
"Coming!" Jian Qingyi took a few quick steps.
When they went over, Jian Dashan was sitting in front of the TV in the living room, soaking his feet.
Mao Chunqiao stood by with a thermos in her hand like a little girl.
Seeing Jian Zhongliang coming, Mao Chunqiao's face lit up with joy, and she quickly moved aside to make way for him, "Why are you here at this hour..."
When the corner of her eye caught sight of Jian Qingyi standing behind Jian Zhongliang, the smile on her face instantly vanished with the wind, and perhaps even a little frost condensed on her face.
"What are you doing here?" His tone was extremely impatient.
"Come and care about the health of grandpa and grandma!" Jian Qingyi smiled brightly.
Mao Chunqiao, however, found it particularly irritating.
Jian Qingyi didn't care whether she was crying or laughing, and squeezed in flexibly from Jian Zhongliang's side.
On the coffee table were melon seeds and the popular egg cakes these days.
Jian Qingyi, who has always been picky about food, skipped the plate of rough-looking egg cake that was obviously not soft enough, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them.
How can you watch a show in the front row without eating melon seeds?
"Who told you to touch my things?" Mao Chunqiao made a move to rush over.
"Mom, stop making trouble. We are here for serious matters. Go and call my brother and sister-in-law over." Jian Zhongliang grabbed her wrist.
Hearing that something serious was going on and seeing her son's serious expression, Mao Chunqiao knew the seriousness of the matter no matter how angry she was. She glared at Jian Qingyi fiercely, turned around and walked out the door.
"Dad, these melon seeds taste good, you should try them too." Jian Qingyi grabbed a handful and stuffed them into Jian Zhongliang's hands.
"If you like it, Dad will buy it for you after work tomorrow." Jian Zhongliang sat down next to Jian Qingyi.
Jian Dashan, who was soaking his feet nearby, frowned.
How can a grown man just spend all his time around his wife and children?!
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Jian Qingyi has never liked to look at other people's faces, and everything he does depends on his own mood.
Seeing Jian Dashan frowning, she grinned and smiled sweetly at him.
Jian Dashan was so angry that he turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
Jian Qingyi smiled even more happily now.
Wow!
He has a very bad temper!
Jian Zhongliang, who saw all of this, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Jian Zhongkang and his wife lived in the small building next door. Not long after, Mao Chunqiao brought them over.
"Uncle, aunt!" Considering that they were genuinely kind to the original owner, Jian Qingyi politely stood up and greeted them.
Jian Zhongkang nodded in agreement.
"Yi Yi is here too!" Jian Zhongkang's wife Wang Xiujuan walked up to Jian Qingyi with a smile and took her hand, looking very intimate.
This is because Li Meiqian and Jian Xiaojing are not here. If Li Meiqian and Jian Xiaojing were here, they would probably be so angry that their hearts would ache.
Although Wang Xiujuan and Li Meiqian are sisters-in-law, Wang Xiujuan has never liked Li Meiqian.
There are some things and some people that men cannot see through, but women know them very well.
She didn't have any prejudice against widows who had lost their husbands remarrying, but she was simply disgusted by Li Meiqian's behavior.
Everyone knows that there is a lot of trouble around a widow.
In order to avoid suspicion, many widows try their best to avoid being alone with men, for fear of causing rumors.
Li Meiqian, on the other hand, is already looking for Jian Zhongliang every other day. Today the faucet is broken, tomorrow the light bulb is not working, and the day after tomorrow the table legs are loose...
Endless entanglement.
Jian Zhongliang didn't know what she was thinking, but how could Wang Xiujuan, also a woman, not know?!
Even after Li Meiqian entered the Jian family, Wang Xiujuan, the eldest sister-in-law, never treated her well.
Except for important family gatherings, the two of them rarely get together.
Jian Qingyi ignored Mao Chunqiao's murderous gaze and stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Wang Xiujuan's hands.
Mao Chunqiao was so angry that she picked up the melon seeds and egg cake and went back to the house.
Then the sound of a cabinet being locked was heard from inside the room.
"Dad will buy it for you tomorrow." Jian Zhongliang hurriedly comforted.
"I also want to eat grapes and glutinous rice noodles." Jian Qingyi immediately climbed up the pole.
Grapes are her favorite.
As for the glutinous rice noodles...
I often read about it in period novels, but I have never eaten it.
I've finally come here, it would be a shame if I don't see it for myself.
"Buy, buy them all." Jian Zhongliang said without hesitation.
I’m afraid my little girl will be unhappy.
Jian Zhongkang and Wang Xiujuan looked back and forth between Jian Qingyi and Jian Zhongliang, somewhat surprised.
Ever since the original owner's biological mother Xu Wan passed away, the gossips around her made the sensitive and introverted original owner become cautious.
I was afraid that I would be kicked out if I wasn't careful.
Later, Li Meiqian came into the family and there was another child in the family. Moreover, the child was smart, well-behaved, hardworking, capable, and extremely good at reading people's expressions. The fragile and sensitive original owner became more and more anxious and uneasy.
In order to avoid being kicked out, she lived in fear every day.
Eat whatever you are told to eat, wear whatever you are told to wear, do whatever you are told to do...
I never pester the adults at home for anything like other children do.
