Brother Huang and his men came over aggressively and left in disgrace.
The bodyguard hadn't even made a move yet, but An Jingzhi's name alone scared the person away.
The vendors were overjoyed and thankful that their money was worth it.
"If we had known earlier, we would have gathered enough money and gone to find Brother Jing sooner."
"Yes, I can finally run a stable business from now on. This money is worth it."
An Jingzhi's security company's business relies entirely on referrals from acquaintances, so he doesn't have to go out and attract clients himself. When he has nothing to do, the group of unhired bodyguards train themselves, while he wanders around and has free time.
He just passed by a small stall and saw bags of things given to him by these people. An Jingzhi didn't even have time to refuse before people hung them on him.
When I got home and was about to call out to Old Mrs. Zhu, I found strangers in my house: an old lady about the same age as Old Mrs. Zhu, and a young girl who was probably in her twenties.
"Mom, there are guests at home." An Jingzhi took off the things on his body as he walked home, including vegetables, fruits, peanuts, melon seeds and other things.
Old Lady Zhu happily stood up and took the things from his hand. "Oh, I was just about to go buy some, and you brought them back. Now I have the dishes for today and the things to entertain the guests."
"Come, come, let me introduce you," Old Lady Zhu pulled An Jingzhi in front of the old man and the young girl. "This is Aunt Niu, and this is her granddaughter, Lin Fang."
"This is my son, An Jingzhi, Xiaohao's father."
The two sides exchanged greetings, and Mrs. Zhu pulled An Jingzhi aside and whispered, "This is the girl I found for Xiaohao. Isn't he coming back for dinner tonight? It's a good time to take a look. I'm quite satisfied with her. You can take a look at her later."
When An Jingzhi saw the combination of the old and the young, he knew what was going on, and he didn't expect it to be true.
At that time, I jokingly asked Mrs. Zhu to find a wife for An Wuhao, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhu was really interested in it.
In the past, the family was poor, and the son and grandson were not promising, so people looked down on them and Mrs. Zhu did not look for a wife. Now that her son has even opened a company, Mrs. Zhu announced that she wanted to find a daughter-in-law for her grandson, and immediately many families were willing to get along with them.
Back at the dinner table, An Jingzhi had nothing to talk about with the old man and the young, so he took over the task of cooking and left Mrs. Zhu to chat with the two.
Aunt Niu laughed and said, "Your son is really filial. My son sits and lies down wherever he wants and doesn't even want to sweep the floor, let alone go to the kitchen to cook."
An Jingzhi is in a similar situation, but Mrs. Zhu won't expose her son's shortcomings in front of others. "We were orphans and widows before, and I was busy making money, so the child was more sensible. Xiaohao is also good at making money, and he is willing to help out at home and outside. He is also an honest person and lives a down-to-earth life."
“Yes, yes, I also heard that Xiaohao is a good kid, otherwise I wouldn’t bring my granddaughter here.”
The two of them chatted back and forth, praising each other. Lin Fang, who was sitting next to them, sat obediently, serving them tea and water from time to time.
An Jingzhi was carrying a fish and preparing to kill it when he saw An Wuhao just walking in.
"You're just in time. Come on, your wife is here. Cook her a meal and show her your cooking skills."
An Jingzhi handed all the tools in his hand to An Wuhao.
An Wuhao was confused. "What wife? Dad, I'm not married yet."
"Your grandma showed you around," An Jingzhi pointed towards the room, "She's sitting right there."
An Wuhao's face suddenly turned red, and he was a little at a loss with the tools in his hands.
An Jingzhi kicked her when he saw this, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and cook, people are waiting to eat, and her grandmother is here too. If this works out, she'll be your grandmother in the future."
An Wuhao then hurried into the kitchen, while An Jingzhi gave orders from the side, but only moved his mouth without doing anything.
"Yes, yes, yes, the fish scales must be scraped clean. It would be so disgusting if people eat fish scales while eating. They would think our house is not clean."
"Well, use less chili. We don't know their taste, so make something milder." An Jingzhi paused and said, "Make two dishes, one spicy and one non-spicy. They can choose what they want to eat. This way, we can show our consideration."
"Hurry up, it's been almost an hour, and the meal isn't ready yet?"
An Jingzhi was about to point at the plate of tofu and say something when he heard the voice of Old Lady Zhu.
"Huh? When did Xiaohao come?" Mrs. Zhu looked at An Jingzhi standing outside the kitchen in surprise, then poked her head into the kitchen, and only then did she realize that An Wuhao had returned home.
"Just be lazy. When I asked you to cook, you gave all the work to Xiaohao." Mrs. Zhu felt embarrassed and guilty when she thought about how she had just boasted about her son to her future in-laws in the room.
"Mom, isn't Xiaohao back? I just wanted to let them try his cooking." An Jingzhi tried to explain, "Now that neither of them knows each other, it's bound to be awkward at the dinner table later. Xiaohao will cook, and then I can introduce these dishes to Xiaofang. Wouldn't that give us something to talk about?"
Old Lady Zhu thought about it and it made sense. "Okay, okay, okay, you're right. Hurry up, it's almost six o'clock. After dinner, it's just right for Xiao Hao to take a walk with the other person before sending him back."
After Mrs. Zhu returned to her room, An Jingzhi began to urge An Wuhao, "Are you done? If you leave people hungry, they won't have a good impression of you later."
An Wuhao was methodical and serious as he cooked. "Okay, okay, Dad. I'll be ready."
"Okay, then I'll bring the rice over first." Then An Jingzhi walked away holding the rice cooker.
I came back again and got some bowls and chopsticks.
Finally, I helped An Wuhao bring the dishes to the coffee table in the living room. Originally, the coffee table was not too small for their family of three to eat together, but now there are two more people, and it is inevitable that it seems a bit crowded for five people to eat together.
After looking around, An Jingzhi wiped a wooden board next to a window, picked it up and placed it directly on the original coffee table. In this way, the entire coffee table seemed to be expanded, and everyone would not touch each other's hands while eating.
Fearing that people might dislike her, Mrs. Zhu explained, "This house is too small. My children have earned enough money. If they get married in the future, I'll buy them an apartment in the city for them to live in on their own."
In order to leave a good impression on her future in-laws, Mrs. Zhu even disposed of all the discarded bottles and cardboard boxes piled up in her little corner.
Those water bottle paper shells actually have some smell, but it’s not as strong.
Aunt Niu also responded with a smile, "A small house also has its advantages. It looks cozy. My sons and grandsons are filial and capable. I wish you good luck."
Lin Fang, who was standing by, saw An Wuhao scooping rice and went over to help.
An Wuhao hurriedly said, "No, no, you're a guest, just sit down, I'll take care of it."
