"Who is it, Grandma?"
"Which one, Mom?"
The old lady hesitated for a while before saying anything.
"Oh, Mom, just tell me."
The old lady quietly approached the two of them and asked, "What do you think of Chen Man?"
After saying this, he hesitated again. "She's beautiful, filial, and well-mannered. Aside from not having a proper job, she has no flaws. It's like we all share the same ancestors."
Xia Meng was speechless. "Oh my god, what's the point of having a formal job these days? If you really want to count, none of us have one. Oh, no, your second grandson is a village cadre, does that count as a formal job? Chen Man has so many fans, he's much better than many of his peers."
The old lady said, "So you mean you think Chen Man is okay? Then we and Tian Guizhen are from the same clan."
Xia Meng: "This relationship is so far away, who cares about it! The law stipulates that marriage within three generations is not allowed."
Hope lit up the old lady's face. "So, it's okay?"
Xia Meng: "...As for this kid's marriage, adults can make suggestions, but they can't interfere. Although I think Chen Man is good, I will only tell him how excellent Chen Man is in front of him and let him discover it himself. I won't tell Jun Yang, hey, Chen Man is so good, you should be friends with her."
The old lady: "...It makes me look like that kind of person. I just want to keep an eye on some nice girls."
"Mom, didn't you say before that Junyang would plan it himself? I guess you were right."
"Why, are there any signs?"
Xia Meng: "...I don't know."
Grandma Junyang came closer and coaxed Xia Meng, "Tell me, does he like Chen Man? Don't worry, you don't know me yet, so I have to tell you."
Xia Meng and Hua Chunya exchanged glances. "Maybe. I just got back, so I'm not sure."
The three men finally finished their chess game.
Xu Helian sat next to Xia Meng, and Xia Meng leaned against him, opened her Moments, found Chen Man's post and showed it to Xu Helian.
"Oh, it seems like none of the fireworks I buy later will belong to me."
Xu Helian looked at it carefully for a while, and after thinking about it, he guessed the whole story.
"Don't worry, I'll ask him to buy more."
Xu Helian took out his cell phone from his pocket and sent a message to Xu Junyang.
Xu Helian: [Transfer]
Xu Helian: Good boy, buy your mother two cannons, she wants to set them off.
Hua Chunya pouted sourly and poked Xu Zhengxi beside her.
Xu Zhengxi silently took out his cell phone and sent a message.
Xu Zhengxi: [Transfer]
Xu Zhengxi: Mao, buy some fireworks for your sister-in-law.
Suddenly, Hua Chunya smiled cunningly.
Hua Chunya
Text: I don't know why, but my brother was looking at his phone when he suddenly stood up and said he wanted to go out and buy fireworks. This is not like him. Anyway, I'm looking forward to tonight's fireworks show~
Hua Chunya set this circle of friends to be visible only to Chen Man and sent it.
"Two thousand three hundred, two thousand four hundred, two thousand five hundred..."
After counting the first red envelope, grandma started counting the second one, but she always forgot and started over again.
Chen Manqie replied to WeChat and clicked on the message Bai Juya sent her.
Juya: [Red Envelope]
Juya: Happy New Year, dear
Chen Man received her red envelope of 5,200 yuan.
Xiaolang·Man: Thank you ~ Happy New Year ~
Xiaolang·Man: [Red Envelope]
Chen Man also gave her a red envelope of 4,888 yuan.
Ju Ya: Chinese New Year is so boring, even more boring than usual...
Xiaolangman: Why?
Xiaolang·Man: [Grandma counting money video]
Xiaolang·Man: Look at this little old lady, she is so energetic when counting money, haha
Ju Ya: Envy.
Ju Ya: I was alone in the room and didn’t want to go out, but the three of them were having a great time in the living room.
Xiaolangman: I used to think you were okay, but since they started urging you to get married, you have become unhappy.
Ju Ya: Yes, I didn’t realize they were so hypocritical before. Last time, they told me directly that they wanted me to go on a blind date just to help my family’s company and to make my life better.
Xiaolang·Man: Huh? So direct!
Xiaolangman: Your father is too cruel. His words are so hurtful.
Xiaolangman: After all, you are his daughter.
Ju Ya: I was sad some time ago, but now I have figured it out. If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. In his heart, I will get married anyway, so it doesn’t matter who I marry, I might as well marry someone who can help him.
Xiaolangman: Do you really want to go on a blind date?
Ju Ya: You know, they said my blind date is in his thirties, divorced and has kids. They also said he's a very good guy.
Xiaolang·Man: Sisters, run away! !
Xiaolangman: This is too unreliable!
Ju Ya: Yes, I have already started taking action. A few days ago, I quietly transferred the inheritance my mother left me and all the pocket money he gave me to my personal account.
Xiaolangman: You did the right thing.
Ju Ya: I have to take care of all these things to ensure my future life. Even if he suspends my card, I will not be short of money, and I will feel safe.
Xiaolangman: Is this the brain that grew temporarily after you were hurt by your family? How can it be so useful?
Ju Ya: ...
My conversation with Bai Juya was sporadic, and I spoke one sentence at a time.
Chen Man opened her Moments and saw the likes from Xu Junyang and the content posted by Hua Chunya.
She seemed to know something.
Did he go to buy fireworks? Why?
A shy smile appeared on Chen Man's face.
"Nine thousand seven hundred, nine thousand eight hundred, nine thousand nine hundred, ten thousand! Huh, this red envelope is also ten thousand, ah Man?" Grandma was as happy as a child.
Chen Man quickly turned off her phone. "Yeah, haha, after the New Year, when you're feeling better, bring the money and we'll go out and play."
Grandma touched the money and smiled silently, her kindness revealing a hint of cuteness.
Grandma packed two red envelopes and handed them to Chen Man. "Please put them away for me first. My memory is not good now. What if I lose them?"
Chen Man took the red envelope and said, "Okay, leave it with me first. I'll give it to you when you need it."
"Okay, okay. I'm tired of counting money. I'm going to sleep first." Grandma supported herself with her hands and tried to stand up.
Chen Man hurried to help her, "Don't you want to watch TV anymore?"
Grandma waved her hand and said, "I won't watch it anymore."
Chen Man helped her grandmother into the wheelchair, pushed her into the room, and helped her to bed to rest.
"Grandma, are you cold?"
"It's not cold."
"That'll do."
"In the wooden box on top of the wardrobe, there's a pair of blue cloth embroidered shoes, and all my old clothes are in there."
Chen Man didn't understand what Lao Yi meant, so she just asked, "Are you planning on wearing it tomorrow?"
Grandma nodded, "Yeah."
"Okay, I'll get it tomorrow."
Chen Man tucked in the quilt for her grandmother and sat quietly in the back watching the Spring Festival Gala alone.
