Chapter 280: Girls change a lot when they grow up, you have no chance
In the past, Zhang's father would not have dared to think about this. How could he leave his family? But now it is different. The Zhang family is getting better and better, and the children are getting more and more successful. They have nothing to worry about at all, and their minds are naturally active. Zhang's father and mother even thought that after Zhang Baiyan got married and had children, he would go to Beijing to help take care of the children. One of them would stay in Beijing more often, and the other would travel between the two places.
Zhang Wanwan was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Sure, Dad. When you go to Beijing, if you don't want to live with my brothers, you can live at my place. My house is almost empty anyway, and you can help me look after it! Besides, my house is quite close to my brothers' houses, so it's convenient to go back and forth."
Before Zhang Wanwan could finish her words, Zhang Boyan pushed her head and said, "Nonsense! When your parents go to Beijing, they will naturally live at my place. Not only will your place be deserted, but your parents will also have to help you clean the house when they go there. You have nothing better to do than go to my place to relax."
Zhang Baiyan has already decided to hire a nanny to come and clean the house from time to time, so Zhang's father and mother won't have to do any housework when they go there.
While driving, Mr. Zhang listened to his two children fighting over their relationship and laughed out loud with joy.
When the group returned home, Zhang's mother had already used all her cooking skills to prepare a table of hot meals and dishes for them.
When she saw Zhang Wanwan, her mother's reaction was similar to her father's. She kept saying, "She's really grown up. She knows how to dress and is very fashionable!"
Seeing that she was very satisfied with Zhang Wanwan's changes, Zhang Baiyan teased her, "You are a grown-up girl now, you can get married!"
Zhang Wanwan glared at him fiercely.
Zhang's mother immediately became concerned when she heard this. She pulled Zhang Wanwan aside and asked, "Tell me the truth, have you found a partner in Beijing?"
"Mom, I'm still studying! It's too early for you to ask this!" Zhang Wanwan was afraid that she would continue to dwell on this topic, so she hurriedly said, "Instead of talking about these things, why not care about my brother's wedding? He will leave tomorrow to pick up his bride. Look at him, he is not only sloppy, his hair is like a chicken coop, and he hasn't shaved his beard. He looks like he came back from begging for food. He doesn't look like a groom at all!"
Zhang Baiyan, who was drinking water, immediately spit out water when he heard this. His eyes widened and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could beat Zhang Wanwan up.
Zhang's mother didn't think so before, but after hearing what Zhang Wanwan said, she immediately felt that Zhang Baiyan was unpleasant to the eye. Her brows furrowed and she scolded him, "It's true! How can this child be so unrefined? Go eat quickly, and then go to the styling room downstairs to clean up. It's annoying just to look at him!"
Zhang Baiyan: “????”
After the storm was over, Zhang Wanwan proudly raised her eyebrows at Zhang Baiyan. Seeing his look of "you can't stand me but you can't get rid of me", she was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice.
That afternoon, two good friends from high school of Zhang Baiyan came over. Their names were Huang Yichang and Zhao Feng. They were both from Pu City and their family conditions were okay, though not as good as the current Zhang family. Also, Li Yongfu’s son Li Zhijie and Li Yongshou’s son Li Zhiyong came over to help with the arrangements, as they would go with Zhang Baiyan early the next day to pick up the bride.
Because there were not enough rooms at home, Zhang's mother booked a few rooms for them in the hotel opposite the community so that they could come at any time.
When they saw Zhang Wanwan, they were all shocked. Li Zhijie and Li Zhiyong were better off, as they were Zhang Wanwan's cousins and simply thought that girls change a lot as they grow up and become more and more beautiful. Huang Yichang and Zhao Feng, on the other hand, had their eyes on her and tried to show their courtesy to Zhang Wanwan. They even went to ask Zhang Boyan about her.
"Brother, does your sister have a boyfriend?" Huang Yichang asked with sparkling eyes.
Zhang Baiyan rolled his eyes in response, "Why? You want to chase my sister?"
Huang Yichang nodded quickly. Zhao Feng also had the same idea, but he was not as straightforward as Huang Yichang.
Zhang Baiyan directly advised: "Don't even think about it. I don't know if that girl has a boyfriend, but I know that her vision is definitely extraordinary."
Huang Yichang's face changed, and he asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Baiyan hesitated for a moment, then went to the living room and moved the newspapers and magazines collected by his father into the room. "I don't know if you guys are paying attention to the agronomy and botany circles, but there are reports about my sister in them. Take your time to read them, don't be in a hurry."
The two of them sat down with confused looks on their faces and began to look through the book. The more they read, the more frightened they became, and the more dizzy they felt.
Huang Yichang couldn't help but complain: "Wow! Your sister is so awesome? How old is she? This, this, this."
This is really powerless! Women are so outstanding that men feel ashamed of themselves.
Zhao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I always thought Brother Yan was very good, but I didn't expect your sister to be even better than you. It seems that we really don't even have the qualifications to pursue her."
Both of them graduated from university and are earning well now, but they are not on the same level as Zhang Wanwan.
Huang Yichang, who had felt good about himself before, was completely depressed and looked listless. He had high standards and had never taken a fancy to any woman. He fell in love with Zhang Wanwan at first sight, but she turned out to be like the moon in the sky, which was out of his reach.
Zhang Wanwan and her two cousins were busy inflating balloons and hanging streamers in the living room. Seeing Zhang Baiyan and the other two hiding in the room and not coming out, she frowned slightly and said to Li Zhijie, "Cousin, why don't you go check on them? I don't know if they are incubating eggs in the room. They won't come out once they go in. They are more annoying than women!"
Hearing this, Li Zhijie's mouth twitched fiercely a few times, and he muttered: "Little cousin, you are becoming more and more venomous now."
The three were called out by Li Zhijie, and Zhang Wanwan found that Zhang Baiyan and his two classmates were no longer as attentive to her as they were at the beginning, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
After the group finished decorating the living room, they immediately moved to Zhang Baiyan's room. The four-piece suit he was sleeping in now was still an old one, but when they set out to pick up the bride tomorrow, Zhang's mother would change into a bright red four-piece suit.
After dark, everyone had dinner at Zhang's house and left.
Zhang's mother began to take out the items used for worship, tidied up the altar at home, and got up before dawn to worship, lit two sticks of incense, offered fresh fruits and snacks, and lit three incense sticks.
The whole family went out when Zhang Wanwan was still sleeping unconscious.
Li Zhijie and his men arrived at five o'clock. Zhang's mother handed the red baskets, red basins, and red buckets to several people. The red basket contained an incense burner, because sandalwood could not be lit on the plane, so they could only light it after getting off the plane. The red bucket contained towels, handkerchiefs, and some snacks.
Some people carry a bag with the betrothal money for the woman in it. After getting off the plane, they put the things in a red basin, cover it with a red cloth, and then go to the woman's house to dry them.
