In the Yuhuiyuan community on Lihua Street in Longkou District, Bagu did not go home immediately after buying vegetables early in the morning. Instead, she was in the community fitness park holding a handful of melon seeds and chattering with others:
"…Now the Ren family is very happy. Their son has found a great boss!"
"What kind of a big shot is his son? That stupid ranking is just something for young people to see. It's useless! His son works in the college. What is he doing... oh, right, as a school doctor! Oh, you can tell from what you hear. First, he's not in administration, and second, he's not in teaching. He's just a salary earner with no future."
"But the girlfriend his son found is amazing. Do you know the Countermeasures Bureau? The hottest new department in the government! His son's girlfriend, wow, wow, wow, is the deputy director of the Lianjiang City Countermeasures Bureau. Isn't she sharp?"
"My sixth aunt's son's neighbor is the captain of our Baiyun Countermeasures Bureau. I heard that the captains of the Countermeasures Bureau have good benefits and a bright future, and they can also get a place in the immortal cultivation. Direct relatives have priority in ascending to heaven, no, they have priority in the immortal cultivation! If there is any acceptance medicine, it will definitely be given to the Countermeasures Bureau first."
"Look, his son actually found a girlfriend who is the deputy director of Lianjiang City. Now their family is considered this (thumbs-up). And that is Lianjiang, one of the four first-tier cities in the country. A deputy director of the city has so much power in his hands..."
While eating melon seeds, Aunt Ba said with envy: "His son can marry such a girlfriend. With his girlfriend's support, their family can walk sideways in Lianjiang and not be afraid of anything!"
Then Aunt Ba changed the subject: "But my daughter-in-law is not bad either. My in-laws are in the real estate business in Baiyun. They can always help our small family. They have a wide network of contacts and can have a say everywhere. My son and daughter-in-law are living a fulfilling life..."
"That's right, that's right."
"Auntie, your son is really amazing..."
"Hello, may I ask..."
A clear voice suddenly interrupted the chatting aunties.
They turned around and their eyes immediately lit up: What a handsome young man!
A handsome young man was sitting in a car and leaned out to greet them. There was also a middle-aged man who looked like a leader sitting in the passenger seat. The two looked quite similar, so they should be father and son.
In an instant, a word popped up in the minds of all the aunts: high-quality stocks!
After decades of ups and downs in the streets and alleys, the aunties may not have good eyesight in other areas, but it is still very easy for them to judge a person's conditions for a blind date - the most important condition is whether he is good-looking.
Although today's society is particularly materialistic and parents seem to only care about money, in fact many parents also focus on economic factors. But the problem is that young people don't think that way. After all, no matter how much money someone has, they won't give it to them. But if someone is handsome or beautiful, then they are the high-quality object that can ignite their hormones.
After all, you can be rich or poor, and you can pretend to be gentle, but you can’t pretend to be handsome or beautiful.
Young people with good looks are the hard currency in the blind date market!
Moreover, the shrewd aunties can tell how much the car costs after just a few glances, and thus find out the young man’s consumption level and infer his income level - which is much higher than the income level in Baiyun City, so extra points!
And the accent is from Lianyungang Province, not from another place, which is a plus!
Although it is not known whether this young man has a girlfriend, the aunts have already started to recall how many girls they have who are suitable matches for him.
In fact, there is no special benefit for the aunties to pull the red string, but the reason why life is so interesting is that not everything needs meaning... For the aunties, playing this kind of life connecting game is a rare pastime in the mundane life.
"Excuse me, where is Building 156?" the young man asked politely, "I didn't see the security guard when I came in, and I don't know where the house number is..."
"No. 156, Building 5." Auntie asked while cracking melon seeds, "I know everyone in Building 5. Are you looking for someone? Who? Today is the 29th day of the lunar year. Maybe the person you are looking for is out buying New Year's goods."
When guests came to the door, the host did not come downstairs to greet them. Instead, the guests came to ask for directions themselves. Ba Gu could tell at a glance that they had come without notifying the other party in advance, so she tried to bluff them.
The young man looked back at his father and said, "We are going to the Ren family, the Ren family of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"Ah!" Auntie clapped her hands immediately and said, "You're looking for Old Ren. They're the only family with this surname in Building 5... Hey, are you here to look for their son?"
The young man nodded and asked, "Can you point out where Building 5 is...?"
"Don't worry, I don't know you, I can't just tell you the neighborhood news."
Eighth Aunt glanced at the aunts and winked at them, indicating that she understood. She asked calmly, "You also know that Old Ren's son is promising, right? What if someone comes to trouble Old Ren and his family because of his son, and I expose their information, then wouldn't I, Eighth Aunt, become an accomplice?"
The young man smiled bitterly: "Then what do you want me to believe?"
"Don't worry, I'm not a policeman, and you don't look like bad people. I just need to ask you a few questions to confirm that you are not some idle people in society." Ba Gu immediately asked: "Where are you from, young man?"
"Nansha City, Lian Province."
"Where do you work?"
"Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau."
"Are you married?"
"No."
The aunties looked at each other - this is not a high-quality stock, this is a diamond bachelor!
Just when the aunties were satisfied with having obtained enough information, Aunt Eight turned her attention to the middle-aged man: "Then who is the one next to you..."
"My father also works in the Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau as a tactical instructor. You can check on the Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau's official website. He is unmarried." The young man seemed to know Ba Gu's character and poured out his father's information like taking out garbage - anyway, it was all information he had searched on the Internet, so it didn't matter if he said it out.
What, this old handsome old father is also unmarried! ?
The aunties’ gazes became more and more intense—they knew quite a few older women who were widowed, divorced, or single parents!
If tying a knot between two young people can allow them to brag for a month, then tying a knot between two single-parent families can allow them to brag for a lifetime - this is simply a great thing that would be like recreating a seven-story pagoda!
As expected, she is called Eighth Aunt!
We will go to Lao Ren’s house later to get information about this unmarried young man and his old father!
"Is this okay? Can you point us in a direction?" the young man asked with a smile.
Eighth Aunt asked, "Then let me ask one last question - are you relatives of the old Ren family?"
As soon as the Eighth Aunt said this, the faces of the young man and the old father suddenly froze.
Knowing the situation, Aunt Ba didn't ask any further questions. She immediately pointed out the direction of Building 5 and directed them to park the car in the underground parking lot first. People had been setting off firecrackers from time to time these past two days, so it was a bit dangerous to park the car on the side of the road.
Watching the vehicle go away, Bagu's expression gradually became complicated.
The aunties nearby said one after another: "They must be Lao Ren's relatives, right? I didn't expect that Lao Ren's son not only married a good girl from the same province, but also the other party's family is so much more powerful than Lao Ren's family..."
"I found out that the middle-aged man just now is indeed the tactical instructor of the Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau. He seems to be on the same level as the director. I saw him as soon as I opened the Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau's website. He seems to be a senior official of the Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau!"
"That young man is ranked 50th on the monk rankings, and he also belongs to the Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau! This is all true!"
The aunts immediately exclaimed: "Mr. Ren gave birth to a good son! His daughter-in-law is amazing, and his in-laws are amazing too!"
Eighth Aunt forced a smile: "They may not be Lao Ren's relatives..."
At this time, a young girl ran in from outside, and Bagu immediately called her: "Hey, little star, come here."
Although the girl was a little impatient, she still came over and asked politely, "What's wrong, aunties?"
"Is your brother's girlfriend still at your house?" asked Eighth Aunt.
The girl's expression changed, and she said unhappily, "...She came this morning."
Came in the morning? Does that mean you didn't stay last night?
The Eighth Aunt was still not giving up, and took out her phone to show the girl: "Is this the father of your brother's girlfriend?"
The girl said expressionlessly: "...Well, he is indeed the father of my girlfriend who came this morning."
Although the girl's words felt a bit strange, Bagu no longer cared.
She waved her hands weakly and said, "Then...Xiao Xingxing, go home. I just saw your in-laws go to your house."
"What?!" The girl's face changed and she immediately ran home with a gust of breeze.
The aunties next to him said, "Hey, not only did Old Ren give birth to a good son, he also raised his daughter well. She is pretty, sensible, smart, and a cultivator. She has been practicing diligently since early in the morning..."
"I'm going home to cook. You guys can chat slowly."
Like a castrated old dog, Bagu carried the basket of vegetables and went home dejectedly with her head down. Her desolate back made everyone sigh - comparing oneself with others is like comparing oneself to a dead person.
From this moment on, everyone knew that the crown of the most powerful show-off king in Yuhuiyuan Community, Lihua Street, Longkou District, was no longer in the pocket of Bagu!
The first loser today is Bagu.
