Chapter 299 The Awkward Dad



The father and son were feeling depressed together, while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were laughing together.

Congcong was taken out to play by his uncle Zheng Tianbao.

Looking around, Linglong asked, "Mom, where's Tianxin?"

"It's all because of the wedding. She left early this morning. Your dad was already feeling unhappy, and seeing her only thinking about Xiao Jiang, it's strange that he can be happy."

Linglong couldn't help but laugh, but she still tried to find out the truth for her sister-in-law. "Mom, what do you and Dad think about Tianxin getting married?"

"I support it. After all, Tianxin isn't young anymore. She should find someone suitable and get married quickly. Xiaojiang is a nice guy. When he came to visit the other day, he brought a lot of gifts and was very sincere. It's just that your dad is so stubborn. I guess it'll be awkward for a few days."

"Mom, this is normal. My dad just can't bear to part with Tianxin."

"If I hadn't known this, I would have quarreled with him a long time ago."

My daughter is already this old, is it easy for her to find a good partner?

Knowing that the old man was reluctant to part with his daughter, she didn't bother to argue with him.

Linglong and the others sat for a while without waiting for Zheng Tianxin to come back. She told her grandmother that she had something to go out for, so she left Congcong behind.

Zeng Yu chased them away with a smile on his face.

She thought her son and daughter-in-law were going out on a date alone.

If the date is good and the relationship is good, she will be able to have a grandson sooner, and it would be even better if it is a granddaughter.

Although Linglong didn't intend to go on a date, the couple going for a stroll together could be considered a date.

Even without wearing a military uniform, Zheng Tiansen looks very serious and looks different when standing next to ordinary people.

Linglong had rarely been to Liuli Street. It was Xiaojiang who came here more often before, and he came here to buy good ornaments and furniture.

Linglong came here without a specific goal, she was just wandering around aimlessly. If she came across something that caught her eye and was priced right, she would buy it.

It’s not quite what Linglong imagined.

In the old Liulichang, there are no private shops except the handicraft store owned by the owner. My husband explained that there were some a long time ago, but later on, they were all closed.

As for the reason, no one knows.

There are no shops, but there are stalls.

In the past two years, business has become popular again, and only then did some people dare to set up stalls here.

Since joining the army, Zheng Tiansen rarely went to such places and looked at the things on the stalls with great interest.

When she sees something she likes, Linglong will ask for the price and enjoy the fun of bargaining.

She didn't understand this business, but she didn't expect her husband knew a little about it.

Is this considered a skill of the children of the wealthy families in Beijing?

With the help of her husband, Linglong actually found the real thing.

Actually, Zheng Tiansen doesn't understand every category. After all, there are so many types of antiques, and he is only good at a few of them. He only has a superficial understanding of the others.

Even this is much better than Linglong.

After a happy stroll and collecting a few trophies, the couple left together.

"I'm hungry. Let's find a place to eat?" Linglong suggested.

They had breakfast before entering the compound, so they left without lunch time. Now, after strolling around, their stomachs were rumbling.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" He wasn't picky anyway, so he just followed his wife's preferences.

Finally, the two went to a shop selling braised pork.

Linglong hasn't eaten it for a long time and she misses it a little.

Although the ingredients used in stewing are basically offal, it is still meat.

So in order to have this taste, they went to the restaurant of the Yi family.

Meat, eggs, and milk are also the most scarce in the food supply.

Even if ordinary people are engaged in the food business, they will try their best to avoid businesses that require these raw materials.

There's no way. If you don't have family connections, it would be difficult to do it.

Some people in the countryside secretly raise chickens and ducks. They don't lack eggs for daily consumption, and they can occasionally kill a chicken or duck for meat, but it is definitely not enough to trade.

If you want to trade in these things, you have to consider buying ingredients from the black market.

Basically, things on the black market don’t require tickets, but the prices are higher than those that require tickets.

For example, the most common eggs, if you need a ticket in the city, the price is about a little over one yuan per pound, and if you don't need a ticket, it will be a few yuan more expensive.

I couldn't help but think about these things while eating. When I came to my senses, Linglong couldn't help laughing. She really was thinking about making money and doing business everywhere.

"What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?" the perceptive man asked.

"I want to make money."

"My wife has the potential to become a big boss."

Being teased, Linglong glanced at the man.

Zheng Tiansen laughed even more happily.

It was rare for the couple to go out together, and he found everything pleasing to the eye.

They stayed outside until it was almost lunchtime, then they returned to the compound.

But no one at home said anything.

Seeing them come back, Zeng Yu started nagging.

"Don't be in a hurry. Eat your meal before going home."

The couple nodded.

Congcong didn't react much when his parents were not around. He was having so much fun playing with his uncle Zheng Tianbao that he didn't want to leave.

Perhaps because he is not married and has no children, Zheng Tianbao is very fond of Congcong.

Zheng Tianxin came back after lunch.

As soon as she entered the door, Zheng's father snorted coldly.

The others held back their laughter and said nothing.

Zeng Yu glared at her husband and called out to her daughter, "When you get home, wash your hands and eat."

"Why."

After washing his hands and sitting down, Zheng Tianxin winked at Linglong.

Although Zheng's father was unhappy, he didn't get angry, so the atmosphere of the meal in the Zheng family was quite harmonious.

When Linglong and the others were about to leave after dinner, Zheng Tianxin insisted on seeing them off.

Standing at the door, Zheng Tianxin took Linglong by the hand and talked to her for a few words.

Linglong patted her hand in comfort. "Don't worry, Dad's just upset for a few days, it'll be over. You know who's in charge in the family, and Mom supports you getting married soon."

Maybe it was because she was the one involved in the situation, but Zheng Tianxin felt better after hearing what she said.

She wants to get married, and of course she hopes to get the sincere blessing of her family.

If her parents did not agree, she would not be happy even if she finally married Xiao Jiang as she wished.

Knowing her parents' true thoughts, she didn't mind waiting a few more days.

Those are her parents who loved and spoiled her when she was young. Why should she be anxious and make them unhappy?

Of course, she is also very grateful to her sister-in-law who always comforts and supports her.

Seeing her sister-in-law's touched face, Linglong smiled. "Go back soon and talk to Mom and Dad. You, these days, don't run away so often and stay away from home. The more you do this, the more Dad will dislike Xiao Jiang."

"I understand, sister-in-law."

With a wave of her hand, Linglong walked to her waiting husband and put her arm around his arm.

Congcong was jumping and skipping happily on the side.

Watching his brother and his family leave, Zheng Tianxin began to have more beautiful visions of his future life.

She didn't ask for a good life for herself and Xiao Jiang, she just wanted to be as happy as her brother and sister-in-law.
