Mingmei and Zhuang Zhiyuan went upstairs hand in hand, in the dark, no one could see them anyway, so the young couple acted recklessly.
Mingmei was very surprised and said as she walked, "I don't know why my mother is so anxious to ask me to go home."
Even though his family loves their daughter especially, unlike other families, her mother told her before she got married that it is not good to come back often after marriage, otherwise the neighbors will gossip. Mingmei doesn't know what there is to gossip about. But that's the way it is.
If a married daughter always returns home, it will inevitably lead to some bad talk.
Mingmei's mother didn't want her daughter to be talked about like this, so she reminded Mingmei of this before they got married. That's why Mingmei was surprised.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
Mingmei said in a clear voice: "Your sweet little cotton-padded jacket is back."
After hearing this, Ming's father immediately came out to open the door, and said happily: "Good girl is back, come in quickly."
As soon as the young couple entered the door, they saw an energetic old man sitting on the sofa. The old man was wearing a white shirt with a sweetheart-neck sweater on the outside. Although his hair was gray, he wore a pair of glasses and still looked very scholarly.
Mingmei: “???”
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
Mingmei's father didn't care about sitting down in front of this person. Instead, he pulled his daughter and said, "Look, look quickly, who is this!"
Mingmei was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened in surprise: "Grandpa?"
The old man nodded and glanced at Zhuang Zhixi, who immediately said sweetly, "Grandpa!"
As a human being, the most important thing is to flatter others.
Zhuang Zhixi immediately said, "Grandpa, you are coming from another place, right? When did you arrive? Are you tired? Let me give you a massage. My massage skills are pretty good."
Zhuang Zhixi quickly got behind the old man, who nodded and said, "Hey, you are still okay, kid."
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's right. If I'm not good enough, I'm not worthy of your granddaughter, right? In order to be worthy of Mingmei, I have to work hard to improve. I learned this massage skill from a master from a traditional Chinese medicine family. It's impossible to learn it now. Just wait and see."
Zhuang Zhixi was not bragging. He learned his skills from the elder sister in their clinic. However, in the current situation, no one would say that they were from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Although the elder sister had a good background and did not cause any trouble, she did not dare to mention it at all. She just quietly treated people in the clinic.
But I won't talk about those things from the past two years anymore.
Zhuang Zhixi: "What do you think of my cooking skills? Oh, if you can come in two months, it will be just in time for Mingmei and I's wedding banquet, and we can also have a feast."
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I the one who needs a meal?"
Zhuang Zhixi immediately said: "That's definitely not the case! You look like you have everything you need, but isn't this a token of your appreciation? Don't you agree?"
Zhuang Zhixi started dancing immediately, which really made everyone in the Ming family speechless, but soon, Ming's father felt that it was somewhat appropriate. He was a rough old man from the city, and the thing he was least good at was getting along with his father-in-law.
Other people's father-in-law can have a drink together, but his father-in-law...it's better not to mention him.
In short, it was the first time that Ming's father liked Zhuang Zhixi so much.
Although this pig dug up the cabbage in his garden, it was useless. This man was smooth-talking, which was sometimes an advantage. Mingmei smiled and walked over and said, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
She looked around and said, "You didn't bring me a gift."
Mingcheng's eyelids twitched when he saw his sister's stupid look. Just as he was about to explain to her, he heard the old man say, "Oh, you are such a filial child. You are so filial, so filial."
Ming's father covered his face and said, "Here he comes, his father-in-law is coming over with a sarcastic look."
Mingmei didn't take it seriously and smiled: "Hehe, I'm a filial son anyway."
She was still saying it, she said angrily: "I didn't even know you were coming. If I knew, I would definitely buy you something delicious. Tomorrow I will buy you some snacks from Daoxiang Village. Am I being nice?"
The old man glanced at the little girl and said, "That's pretty good."
He pointed to a travel bag not far away and said, "That's what I brought. Take out the food and share it."
Mingmei: “Hey!”
She kept mumbling, "Grandpa, when did you arrive? How come it's been a whole day and you haven't brought out the food yet?"
Old man: "Oh, the things are just there. I don't know if they look down on an old man like me. They don't even ask. Why should I take the initiative to ask?"
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "Grandpa, look at what you are saying. They are obviously afraid of you, so they don't ask you. By the way, can you stay a few more days this time? I'll come back to see you every day."
It's no wonder that this couple have some similarities.
Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi are both young couples. They are somewhat outgoing and friendly, and have a warm attitude.
The old man glanced at his daughter and son-in-law, then at his granddaughter, and said, "Then you don't have to come to see me every day."
Before he could finish his words, Ming's mother interrupted him. Mingmei's mother came out of the kitchen and said, "Your grandpa is not leaving this time."
Mingmei: “Huh?”
She was even more surprised and looked at her grandfather in disbelief. The old man smiled slightly.
Mingmei's mother continued, "Your grandpa has been transferred to work in Sijiucheng. What a coincidence! He is at the Qianjin Machinery Factory. Your grandpa has already reported to the factory today. He has also been assigned a place to live."
Mingmei: “!!!”
Zhuang Zhixi: “!!!”
There is such a thing? Zhuang Zhixi looked at the old man's gray hair and fell into deep confusion. At his age, he should retire, right? Why is he still working? But before Zhuang Zhixi could wonder for too long, he heard his mother-in-law say, "Your grandpa came here this time to take an apprentice to the machinery factory."
"Oh, so does grandpa live at home?" Mingmei asked curiously.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Why should I live here? I have my own life. How much will it affect me if I live here? I have asked the machinery factory to arrange a place for me to live. It just happened to be arranged in your yard."
Mingmei was about to take a sip of water when it suddenly spurted out: "Poof!"
The old man immediately asked: "Hey, are you not welcome?"
Mingmei quickly said, "No, no, I welcome it. I'm just very surprised."
She scratched her head and said in confusion, "But it seems that there are no vacant rooms in our yard?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “Yes, it is!”
He knew more than Mingmei. He said, "Isn't there a room on the side where the front and back yards meet? Because there is only one room and the area is relatively small, it has always been difficult to divide it, so the factory has not dealt with it and the door has been locked all these years."
In fact, several families have their eyes on this house, and the first one is Zhou Li's family. This house is next to Zhou Li's house, and she has always wanted to take this house for herself. In fact, she has already thought about it. As long as Zhou Qun has a child, she will apply for this house on the grounds that it is not big enough.
Even if the factory disagreed, she would still give the house to her eldest grandson to live in.
But this plan is just a plan. Her family, Zhou Qun, still has no children, so she doesn't even have an excuse.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Is it a small single room?"
The old man nodded: "Exactly!"
He said, "I will move there tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhixi immediately said, "That house has not been occupied for a long time, it needs to be cleaned. I'll go over and clean it for you, and fix the windows and other things!"
The old man shook his head: "No need, I have my own apprentice."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Huh?”
The old man acted like a master: "I came here to teach apprentices. If an apprentice doesn't work for the master, how can he still be called an apprentice? You don't have to get involved in this matter."
He glanced at his granddaughter and grandson-in-law and said bluntly: "Although we live in the same courtyard, I also hope that you will not disturb me easily."
Ming family: "..."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Oh, this old man is quite unique.
The old man was indeed very individual. He said, "I have my own life. You bastards, don't come to me easily if you have nothing to do." He pointed to his family and the beautiful young couple, "Although we live in the same yard, you are you and I am me."
Mingmei pursed her lips.
The old man said: "Okay, it's okay, you can leave now."
Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi: "..."
It turns out that they were called here in advance just to inform them.
Mingmei let out a soft "oh".
"Take the snacks for you when you leave. Three servings."
Mingmei: “Oh.”
Ming and Mei were very excited when they came, but they were kicked out before they could talk for long. Ming's father: "Let's go, I'll see you off."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows: This has never happened before.
As expected, everyone feels less confident when seeing their father-in-law, even a strong man like Ming's father is the same.
Ming's father escorted his daughter and son-in-law out and said, "It's getting dark, I'm worried about you two leaving, come on, I'll walk you a little way."
It's obvious that he doesn't want to go home.
Mingmei smiled slyly and said, "Dad, are you afraid of my grandpa?"
Ming's father glanced at his daughter and said, "Then ask your man if he is afraid of me."
Zhuang Zhixi immediately said, "Of course I'm not afraid of you. Although you are a little fierce, I know that's your personality. Why should I be afraid? Besides, I haven't done anything bad. I know that Dad is very optimistic about me."
He even winked at his father-in-law. Ming's father: "..."
The corners of Ming's father's mouth twitched, and he thought his son-in-law was really shameless.
But at this time he didn't care about his son-in-law, he was thinking about his old father-in-law.
Ming's father sighed deeply.
Mingmei laughed and said, "Dad, you don't have to be so worried, do you?"
Ming's father was very straightforward: "I'm afraid your grandfather will cause trouble."
Mingmei: "How is that possible? Grandpa is so old, and he's not the kind of person who would fight."
The only relatives in her family who can take action are those on her father's side.
Ming's father took a deep look at his daughter and felt that his daughter really didn't spend enough time with her grandfather, so she didn't understand the old man's nature. He sighed deeply and said, "Your grandfather's ability to stir up trouble is unmatched by most people."
Seeing his father-in-law so melancholy, Zhuang Zhixi felt that this grandfather might actually have some ability.
He took the initiative to ask: "Dad, how old is grandpa this year? Can he still work in the workshop at this age?"
Ming's father didn't beat around the bush with his son-in-law at this time. He just spilled the beans: "Your grandpa is 71 years old this year. He retired two years ago and has been rehired by the factory to train apprentices. Recently, the machinery factory in Beijing wanted to find a skilled master to come and train the newcomers. After much deliberation, the factory assigned this job to your grandpa."
There must be more than one master craftsmen in this factory. They are all skilled technicians and are popular wherever they go.
But most families have their own family, so it is inconvenient and difficult to make arrangements for the whole family. But this old man is different. Although he has a son in the local area, he does not live with his son.
In addition, he has a daughter in Sijiu City, so arranging him here is a relatively suitable candidate.
"Although the old man is a little older, he came here to train workers. He doesn't need a lot of detailed work, so his age won't have an impact. The factory was also hesitant about whether to send your grandfather over, but he decided it was okay."
"What about my uncle?" Mingmei asked, "Is his family in Jinling?"
Ming's father nodded: "You know your grandpa, he doesn't like to live with the younger generation. Your uncle is really your grandpa's biological son, and he is the same character as him. Both father and son don't..." He suddenly realized that he couldn't say anything bad about his father-in-law. He coughed and said awkwardly: "Anyway, your grandpa is not joking with you. Even if you live in the same courtyard, you should try not to disturb him."
Mingmei: “Oh.”
Zhuang Zhixi: “…” I was very curious.
Father Ming walked his daughter and son-in-law back home. When they reached the alley, Father Ming suddenly became alert and pointed at the public toilet at the alley entrance and said, "Is this it? Someone fell into this public toilet, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, that's it. Three people fell into our yard at once. Plop, plop, oh my, that dung flower. It's all thanks to Aunt Wang, the yard manager, who organized everyone to rescue them. They really didn't fear the hard work. You don't know, no one near the front was spared, and they were all splashed. Fortunately, my mother and I were cunning and dodged quickly. We stood far away, so we survived."
"How did it fall? Was it a plop or a clatter?" Ming's father was still very curious.
This, this matter can't be blamed on Ming's father. Let alone Ming's father, if it were anyone else, they would have to ask around. After all, they have lived for so many years and have never seen such a thing. When have they ever seen someone fall into a public toilet? Never!
Ming's father expressed deep regret: "It's a pity that we don't live here."
Missed it!
Ming's father: "But if something like this happens in the future, you should at least stop your grandfather. Don't let him go forward. He is not young anymore. If he falls in, it will be difficult to rescue him."
Mingmei: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said, "Dad, you're thinking too far ahead."
Ming's father, Ming Xiangdong, said seriously, "How far is that? The story of someone falling into the toilet has spread to Tong County. There's nothing wrong with me giving it more consideration."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "It's good that it didn't reach Tianjin."
Mingmei: "Who are you two? Okay, Dad, we're here. I won't invite you in. It's getting late, so you should go home quickly."
If his son-in-law said this, Ming Xiangdong would definitely be unhappy, but when his daughter said this, Ming Xiangdong nodded and said, "Okay."
Both parties said goodbye, and Mingmei went home with Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi said, "From now on, your grandpa will live in the yard. We really won't live close to the side, right?"
Mingmei looked up at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "My grandpa is not just talking, he really doesn't want to be disturbed by us. You see, my grandpa and my uncle are both in Jinling, and they live separately. My grandpa said that my uncle affected his chance of finding a partner."
Zhuang Zhixi staggered and almost fell.
Mingmei: “Really.”
Her big eyes were twinkling, and she was telling the truth.
Zhuang Zhixi: "...your grandpa is quite interesting."
But as the conversation turned, he became a little worried, pointed at the Su family, then pointed at the Zhou family, and said, "There are two old widows here. Can your grandpa not cause trouble?"
Mingmei scratched her head, a little hesitant, but a little sure: "Shouldn't it be possible? My grandpa likes young ones."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
This old man is truly a man!
They came back a little late and everyone in the family had gone to bed. Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei went straight back to the house, and soon the temperature in the house rose... Zhuang Zhixi was not afraid of being tired and kept pestering Mingmei.
Mingmei whined and scratched his back with her claws. Zhuang Zhixi made a "sizzling" sound, but he didn't get annoyed, he just laughed.
After a long time, Mingmei lazily said, "I'm tired. It's always like this. I don't have the energy to go to work anymore."
Zhuang Zhixi was wiping the sweat off his wife's forehead with a handkerchief. He said, "Aren't you a martial artist? Shouldn't martial artists have good physical strength?"
Mingmei blushed: "These are two different things, okay?"
She muttered, "Other families don't do it so frequently."
Don't think she knows nothing. She also eavesdrops on the secret conversations of those married sisters.
Zhuang Zhixi pinched her pink cheeks and said, "We just got married, so of course we are different from others."
He chuckled, then threw his handkerchief aside and said, "You see, I've paid more, but I'm not tired at all. How come you're so tired? Tsk tsk."
Mingmei snorted, not wanting to argue with him. She kicked him with her feet and said, "Get out of the way. I want to sleep."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and turned on the light...
Since getting married, Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei have said goodbye to getting up early. In their compound, they are the couple who get up the latest, and this is the case every day. Zhuang Zhixi doesn't mind it and doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
The couple rush out almost every day.
But today Zhuang Zhixi was quite surprised. He smiled and said, "Brother, when did you come back?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan's business trip took a long time this time.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "I came back last night. When I came back, you went to my brother's wife's parents' home. Oh, by the way, I brought you some local specialties, you can try them."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "My family has been obsessed with dim sum recently. You brought some dim sum when you came back this time, and Mingmei's grandpa also brought some dim sum when he came over."
"My sister-in-law's grandfather?"
Zhuang Zhixi simply told him what happened yesterday, and then said with a smile: "What a coincidence. He was also assigned to our courtyard."
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhiyuan and his wife both looked a little weird.
However, Zhao Guihua was calm. She said, "It's fine if we break up. We can still take care of each other."
After a pause, she added, "Besides, they may not be willing to let us take care of them."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at his mother in surprise and said, "You guessed it right. Mingmei's grandpa really did say that you shouldn't disturb him unless necessary."
Zhuang Laonian said, "If you say so, I know that our machinery factory has a master with excellent skills. The factory specially invited him from Jinling to teach people. I didn't expect that he turned out to be Mingmei's grandfather."
Mingmei smiled and said, "My grandpa is a very nice person."
Everyone in the Zhuang family laughed, with different expressions.
But no matter what everyone thought, they all went to work quickly, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Liang Meifen was very depressed. She felt that her brother-in-law's family lived close to her grandfather, which was a big disadvantage for her.
But this was arranged by the factory, what could she do?
She sighed softly, and at this moment, she heard a noisy sound coming from the yard, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family went out immediately.
I saw several men in machinery factory work clothes following an old man, and next to the old man was Director Chen from the Street Office.
Director Chen: "Your factory has allocated this empty room in your yard to this old master. I'll bring him over to have a look."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Li's face suddenly changed. She was very unhappy and asked, "How can this house be given to outsiders so casually? My family still wants it. No, no one can move in without my consent."
Director Chen also frowned and said, "Auntie Zhou, when have you ever been allowed to speak here? Who do you think you are? Can you still be the boss of the factory? Just give it to you if you want it? How can you be so arrogant? Get out of the way. If you dare to make trouble here, we will go to your factory to have a good talk."
This person lost face for Director Chen in front of outsiders, so Director Chen naturally would not give her a good face.
If it was an ordinary worker, Director Chen might not be so angry. This old master was specially invited from Jinling to train master craftsmen for the factory. This is very different. Director Chen ignored Aunt Zhou and said, "It's this one. It's a bit old. You apprentices are here, so help clean it up."
She continued, "I haven't asked what to call you yet?"
Old man: "Lan Sihai, you can just call me Old Lan."
Director Chen smiled and said, "This surname is quite special."
Old Man Lan nodded and said, "It's not much, but it's not bad."
"Master, let us clean it up for you."
"Let's clean up early so as not to disturb your rest at night."
In this era, people respect their teachers very much. Even though their masters were just chosen yesterday, the more so, the more everyone has to perform well. The more they learn from their performance, the more helpful it will be for improving their skills.
Everyone knows that although this old man is not young, he must be quite capable, otherwise he would not have been assigned here.
The five gentlemen opened the door immediately, and as soon as they opened the door, they felt a cloud of dust blowing in their faces.
Old Man Lan smiled: "Clean, this place is really clean."
Director Chen: “…”
Old man Lan looked around with his hands behind his back. The room was about 30 square meters. His eyes were like a ruler, and he knew by looking at it that it was definitely not 30 square meters. But it was almost enough. It was not enough for ordinary people to live in, but it was definitely enough for him, a single old man.
He nodded slightly and said, "You guys get started. Clean it for me all day. This window is broken. Replace the window frame and glass for me. Make a small partition here. It doesn't need to be high. Just over one meter will be fine. Make it wider so I can put a cup or something. Also, paint this wall for me."
He began to give orders, and several of his disciples felt miserable in silence.
This work is not a big deal, and it is also the duty to tidy up the house, but the money for several places is not small, and they feel bad. However, even if they feel bad, they have to bite the bullet and bear it. This is a matter of showing off in front of the master.
But just when everyone was feeling miserable, the old man took out a blue and white checkered handkerchief from his pocket, counted out twenty yuan, and said, "Take this first, and I'll refund you if you have more or make up if you have less."
He bought these things for house renovation and didn't need any receipts.
"Master, how can we let you take the money? We are your disciples..."
Old Man Lan raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Since I am the master, I have the final say. You must handle it immediately."
"This house..." Mrs. Zhou Li was not convinced and said, "This house is my home..."
Old Man Lan turned around and said, "Wow, where did this upright, selfless, selfless old lady come from? Ha, ha, ha!"
Mrs. Zhou Li: “???” She didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Director Chen: “???”
Director Chen finally realized in the brief contact that this old man was a weird person.
Zhao Guihua, who was watching from a distance, also laughed. She took the initiative to step forward and said, "You must be Uncle Lan, right? I am Mingmei's mother-in-law, Zhao Guihua. You can just call me Xiao Zhao."
She pointed to her eldest daughter-in-law next to her and said, "This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Mingmei's sister-in-law."
Everyone in the yard was watching the fun, but they didn't understand why he mentioned his daughter-in-law everywhere. Could she be Mingmei's relative? Everyone was wondering. Then old man Lan said, "Oh, so you are the gentle mother-in-law. Hello, hello."
Zhao Guihua: “…”
Okay, after the experience in my previous life, I’m used to it.
The old man continued, "You are the sister-in-law who has no selfish motives at all. Hello, hello."
Liang Meifen: "...Hello, uncle."
I always feel like something is weird.
Don't even mention whether this person's words are weird. This name is weird.
Zhao Guihua: "I call you uncle and you call me uncle too. Are you of the same generation as me?"
Priscilla Leung: “No, no.”
Zhao Guihua decisively said: "This is Mingmei's grandpa, you should call him grandpa from now on."
Miriam Leung: “…Oh.”
This is the only way I can call him that. Otherwise, it would be a bit weird to just call him grandpa.
She took the initiative: "Grandpa, let me help you with something. I can do the work."
Old Man Lan: "No, you are not my biological granddaughter, you don't have to work for me. Even my biological granddaughter doesn't have to work for me, let alone you."
It really didn't take many words for everyone to see that this old man was not an ordinary old man, and he had a bit of a thorn in his side. Old Man Lan looked up and said, "Is this house leaking?"
Director Chen quickly said, "I'm not sure about that. No one has lived here for so many years. It's better to give it a rest."
Old Man Lan: "Okay, let's fix it."
Everyone started working with a lot of noise.
Their neighbors were all from the factory, and one of them recognized him: "Isn't this old man's apprentice the master craftsman from the third workshop? I heard he's a level four worker. Why is he running here to be an old man's apprentice?" The voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.
Another whispered: "I heard from my old man that the factory hired a master from outside the province. He won't teach the newbies, but picked highly skilled fourth and fifth level workers."
"Ah, the first one to come is a level 4 or 5 worker?"
"Yes, I heard he was a very capable master craftsman. He was an eighth-level worker before he retired."
"I heard that too. I heard that the old man is uneducated, otherwise he would have been promoted to engineer."
Everyone was talking at once, but they didn't dare to speak loudly. Zhao Guihua's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, are the sources of gossip in their courtyard still very wide? The news came out just after my father-in-law came. But it's not surprising. He should have reported it yesterday. After a day of fermentation, he should know what he should know.
"I really didn't expect that he was the grandfather of the youngest daughter-in-law of the old villager."
"Priscilla Leung will suffer even more from now on."
"That's for sure."
"I think the banker might be feeling bad too. This old man looks difficult to get along with and has a weird temper."
“Really…”
"But Zhao Guihua is also very capable. She can't suffer any loss."
"It doesn't matter if it's impressive or not, he even occupies a generation."
You see, the gossip soon spread to her. Zhao Guihua didn't care about it. She said, "Uncle Lan, you can't finish your work today. Your family can have lunch with us at noon. What do you think?"
Old Man Lan nodded: "Okay, I'll give you food coupons."
Zhao Guihua: "No, it's just a family thing. It's not worth just one meal. If you eat it every day, I will accept it."
Old Man Lan: "Let's put it this way. We have more people. It's settled. I'll give you the meal tickets. You cook a meat dish."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay."
Old Man Lan nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "Nothing."
She knew that this old man said he would not bother people, and he really did not bother people. This was the case in his previous life. Although they lived in the same courtyard, they really did not take care of this old man. This old man really did not like others to interfere with his life.
Old Man Lan instructed his young apprentice: "Go to the transportation team's family compound. My bicycle and luggage are all there. Go find my daughter Lan Ling and bring them over."
Old Man Lan's youngest apprentice was already in his thirties. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."
Old Man Lan: "Girl Zhao."
Zhao Guihua: "Hey, Uncle Lan, what's up?"
Old Man Lan: "Do you know any matchmakers here?"
Zhao Guihua: “…”
This is the same routine as in the previous life.
She was speechless, but then she changed her mind and laughed. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to live a casual life. At least it makes you feel comfortable.
She smiled and said, "Yes, this is Aunt Wang, the manager of our courtyard. She usually introduces partners to the young men and women in our neighborhood. If you need anything, she is the right person to ask for. She will definitely find you someone you like."
Aunt Wang: “……???”
Are you looking for a partner right after arriving here?
Damn, what kind of person is this old guy?
She reluctantly said, "Uncle, do you want to find a companion?"
Old Man Lan nodded: "Yes, my life is boring."
Aunt Wang looked at Zhao Guihua silently. Zhao Guihua said, "Uncle's wife passed away more than ten years ago."
Old Man Lan raised his eyebrows, thinking that his granddaughter's mother-in-law knew him a little. He said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's have lunch together at noon, and I'll tell you about my situation and what I'm looking for."
Aunt Wang: “…Oh.”
It's not easy for an old man of this age to find a partner! How can she introduce one? Generally, widows who want to find a partner again will do so when they are young. They usually don't find a partner when they are older because they don't want to embarrass their children. So it's not difficult to find a second marriage, but it's not easy to find a second marriage at this age.
Her job is not easy.
At this time, Aunt Wang still couldn't imagine that although this old man was weird, he was still very popular. The only one who couldn't find a wife in her hands was still Bai Fendou.
There will always be only Bai's struggle.
She said, "Okay, I'll listen to your requests."
"Master, are you looking for a wife just after arriving here?" He was quite naive and asked directly.
Old Man Lan didn't feel embarrassed at all. He nodded and said, "Of course. Who says that old men have to live in a cold bed? I have a wife to take care of me, so you can rest assured, right?"
“Ah, this…”
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
"Yes, isn't it?"
Old Man Lan nodded: "That's fine."
Old Man Lan put his hands behind his back and said, "Let me turn around and take a look."
Director Chen smiled and said, "Then take a look."
As a relative, Zhao Guihua took the initiative to say, "Uncle Lan, can I introduce him to you?"
Uncle Lan shook his head and said, "No need, I can take a look myself. Oh, by the way, I heard there's a pretty good public toilet here, is it the one at the end of the alley?"
A group of people: "..."
You really are bringing up things that are not related to the topic.
Zhao Guihua: "That's it, but please be careful when you go over there, someone fell down there before."
Old Man Blue: "I'm not such a wild person."
He sighed: "The people of this city are different, completely different from ours in Nanjing. We don't have such things in Nanjing. This is an eye-opener, an eye-opener."
He lamented why he hadn't come earlier and missed such a big show. Not to mention, this coincided with his son-in-law's idea. He was about to leave when Mrs. Zhou Li popped up again: "This house..."
She still wanted to argue.
Director Chen was so angry that he shouted, "Auntie Zhou, if you keep making trouble like this, I will go to your machinery factory to find Zhou Qun. I want to ask him what is going on. What is the difference between his family and bandits?"
"No, if you dare to go find my son, I will hang myself at your door." Although Aunt Zhou was afraid of Director Chen, the temptation of the house was too great. So much so that when she looked at Director Chen now, she felt that this was her stumbling block.
She said viciously: "This is my home, this is my home... Even if you move in, I will drive you away. Why should I give it to an outsider? This is mine, I prepared it for my eldest grandson..."
"You don't have a grandson at all, but you're really missing him." Someone whispered.
This sentence immediately broke Zhou Li's defense, and she yelled, "You are bullying me, you are bullying a widow!" Zhou Li cried out loudly, and Old Man Lan looked at her, sat down on the ground, and started kicking his legs.
"You have no conscience, you bastards, you robbed my house, you deserve to die..."
Old Man Lan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you going to drive me away?"
He smiled and said, "Okay, everyone stop."
Several apprentices stopped what they were doing, and one of them rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm going to beat this vicious old hag to death!"
"Master, you don't have to be afraid of her!"
"Who the hell is she?"
Old Man Lan: "No need to do anything. No one of you is allowed to move."
Director Chen: “???”
Her heart skipped a beat and she felt that this old man was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Before she could react, the old man had already sat down and started smoking. Seeing that he seemed to be under her control, Zhou Li became even more arrogant: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have relatives in the yard. This house is mine, it must be mine! No one can take it away. If anyone takes it away, I will die at his doorstep. How dare you bully me, an old lady? My son is a level 7 electrician in the factory, you..."
"What are you talking about!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared at the door, followed by several people. They were obviously from the factory security department.
Old Man Lan brushed off the nonexistent cigarette ash on his body, stood up, and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, you see, the factory asked me to train new people, and I came from afar without saying anything. When the house was allocated, I also said that it doesn't matter if the place is small, anyway, I am just an old man. Even if I find a partner, it's only two of us, so I don't need a big place. I have done my best for the factory, right?"
Deputy Director Zhang nodded and said seriously: "You are an old comrade with high consciousness. We are especially grateful to you."
Their factory has just added a new production line, and they are fiddling with gold. This job requires not only skills, but also good character. However, there are very few masters who can handle gold pieces. After all, poor people can't do this. Besides, this skill is hard to come by, and such masters are very rare. Not to mention that this old comrade was an apprentice in a gold shop when he was less than ten years old, and became a master in his twenties, which is considered to be very talented. He has been doing this for decades, his skills are impeccable, and he is willing to teach others. It is not easy for them to invite such a master.
This master chef has few tasks to do and has low requirements, and the factory doesn't need to take care of his family. He is a perfect person.
That is why the factory treats such master chefs as treasures.
When he saw someone causing trouble here, he got so angry that his head was buzzing.
"Master, we didn't do our job well and caused you trouble."
Lan Sihai: "Okay, let's talk about this. I haven't caused any trouble to the factory, so I'm easy to talk to. But why is the house the factory arranged for me like this? You can't bully people like this, right? You're deliberately trying to intimidate me!"
Deputy Factory Manager Zhang's face changed, and he immediately explained: "Master, you misunderstood me. We definitely didn't mean that. We didn't do it right, but please believe me, I will definitely solve it for you! I will never let you suffer any injustice."
When Deputy Director Zhang looks at Zhou Li now, he really feels that this old lady is simply a cancer of the old society.
Deputy Director Zhang's words made Lan Sihai look a little better, but he still said coldly: "I don't care whether it's good or bad, big or small, but someone has already snatched my house away before I even moved in, and even hunged himself at my door. May I ask, is this the new society? Landlords don't bully people like this, right? Look, she's already throwing a tantrum before anything has happened."
The master doesn't even need to tell me this.
Deputy Director Zhang saw the old lady throwing a tantrum when he arrived just now. He was so angry. This brought shame to their factory! Their factory had such a family member, which was really a black spot for the factory. It brought shame to the factory.
Without saying anything, he said directly: "Take him to the security department first!"
Zhou Lishi: “Ah?”
She had always used this tactic of throwing a tantrum very effectively, but she never expected that this would fail miserably... She was incredulous and said, "You want to arrest me? What gives you the right to arrest me?"
At this time, she hadn't realized that she was nothing in front of others.
Deputy Director Zhang: "You are committing a crime by deliberately robbing the house! Take him away!"
"How dare you! My son is an electrician in the factory, at level seven, and he's a promising talent. If you continue like this, my son will not let you go! When my son takes over, he will deal with you. You are all just guard dogs..." Zhou Li didn't pay attention to Lan Sihai's address of "Deputy Director Zhang". Seeing that all these people were wearing security department uniforms, she naturally thought that they were all from the security department.
"My son has a good relationship with the factory director, and I won't let you guard dogs off!"
Deputy Director Zhang was so angry: "Ha!"
The security guards were trembling with anger. They had never seen such a shameless old lady before! She really didn't take them seriously! Just wait and see how she would deal with her! Calling them guard dogs? Even dogs could bite her to death!
Deputy Director Zhang sneered: "Take it away!!!"
"You bastards, you damn bastards, I won't forgive you, my son won't forgive you... This house is mine, you old fool, you stole my house, I will punish you when I come back, you just wait, you just wait..." Zhou Li screamed, the whole street could hear her roar: "You shorty, just wait and I will smash the windows of your house. You just wait, you just wait..."
Deputy Director Zhang is a short man, and what he hates most is being told he is short. He was so angry that his face turned red and he was shaking. If he didn't have to save face, he would have really gone up and slapped someone.
At this time, not only their yard, but also people from other yards came out to watch the fun.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't that Deputy Director Zhang? What is this old hag doing? She even scolds the factory leader?"
"Arrogant, too arrogant..."
The neighbors were in an uproar! Zhao Guihua did not participate in the whole process, but she also sincerely sighed: No matter what time, the house makes people crazy!
