Chapter 230: The Peach Blossom Talisman is Really Powerful, the Perennial Bachelor Gets Out of Singlehood
When he got home, it was already dark. Doudou went to Aunt Wang's house for dinner so he wasn't hungry.
Jiang Hanyan went downstairs to thank Aunt Wang and brought a box of high-end snacks.
"Xiao Jiang, you are too polite. It's just a meal and Doudou can't eat much. Take it back quickly." Aunt Wang was unhappy and refused to take the snack.
"This snack has been at home for quite a while. I just realized that it will expire in two months. Lu Chen and I don't eat it. I'm afraid Doudou will get worms if he eats it, but it's a pity to throw it away. Auntie, if you don't mind, please help me eat it. Otherwise, I will have to throw it away."
Jiang Hanyan deliberately picked out snacks that were about to expire so that Aunt Wang would accept them without any psychological burden.
"Why throw away such a good thing? What a pity! You young people are wasteful. My Tianjie and Tianlang are the same. You just throw away good things. If you continue to live like this, you will squander all your gold and silver mountains..."
Aunt Wang kept on complaining, even complaining about her son and daughter. Jiang Hanyan listened with a smile and agreed with her from time to time.
After Aunt Wang finished talking, she naturally accepted the snacks. She usually couldn't afford to buy such good snacks.
"From now on, just focus on your work outside. Don't worry, Doudou. Lao Lu and I will be watching over you. Nothing will happen to you in our community, and you won't go hungry."
"I am so glad that I bought this residential complex. People say that neighbors are the most important thing when buying a house. It is a blessing to have good neighbors, and it is bad luck to have bad neighbors. I am so lucky to have you, Auntie."
Jiang Hanyan flattered Aunt Wang and made her smile happily.
"I'm not bragging. None of the nearby communities is more harmonious than ours. Other communities are in turmoil every other day. Either the hygiene is not good or there are quarrels between upstairs and downstairs. If you ask me, it's because the neighborhood committee didn't do its job well. There are no communities that are not well managed in this world, only incompetent neighborhood committees."
"That's right. The level of management is very important. A capable neighborhood committee can turn a poor neighborhood into a civilized one, and a poor neighborhood committee can turn a civilized neighborhood into a poor one."
Jiang Hanyan flattered Aunt Wang as much as she could. After all, nice words didn't cost any money, so she just said a few words to make Aunt Wang happy.
And to be honest, Aunt Wang is indeed serious and responsible, and the civilization and harmony of the community cannot be separated from her hard work.
Aunt Wang couldn't close her mouth. Her hard work was finally recognized. She felt sweeter than if she had drunk three pounds of honey. Xiao Jiang was indeed a good comrade. She wouldn't have been wrong.
But Aunt Wang's happiness didn't last long, and she began to sigh again. The source of the anger was naturally her bachelor son.
"Xiao Jiang, are there any classmates in your school who don't dislike old men? It's OK even if their family conditions are poor. My family can pay for the tuition and living expenses. Alas, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I really have no other options now. If I don't think of a solution, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my grandchildren until I close my eyes."
Aunt Wang sighed and said that she had asked all her neighbors, relatives and friends for help. The number of people who could be introduced to her son was lined up in a row, but none of them worked out. She was too embarrassed to ask anyone else for help, so she thought of college students.
A local guy definitely wouldn't work, as they would look down on her older son. But she heard that there were many girls from other places who came from poor families and couldn't even afford the living expenses at the university, so Aunt Wang thought of this. Although it was a bit inappropriate, she really wanted to have a grandson.
"Aunt, the age difference is too big and it's not suitable. Besides, Manager Lu may not like it. Did you call him last time to ask if there was any good news?" Jiang Hanyan was a little surprised. It shouldn't be that serious.
Her peach blossom charm will definitely not lose its effect.
"No, he even thought I was annoying and told me to stop calling the company so often. What a heartless person!"
Aunt Wang curled her lips in disdain. If it weren't for her grandson, she wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
"Maybe there is good news now, don't worry, auntie." Jiang Hanyan comforted.
"Forget it. I can't rely on him for anything. I have to find a way. Xiao Jiang, remember to ask around for me..."
Before Aunt Wang finished speaking, the phone rang urgently. She hurried to answer it. It was her daughter calling.
"I'm chatting with Xiao Jiang. Is there anything important? If not, I'll hang up."
Aunt Wang was impatient. She had nothing much to talk about with her daughter, and it was more interesting to chat with Xiao Jiang.
But then, her face was full of excitement, she almost jumped up, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you sure you see it? Are you wearing glasses? Is it really clear?"
"I was wearing glasses and could see clearly that Tianlang was walking on the street with a girl, and they were very affectionate. Didn't he tell you?" Lu Tianjie was also very excited. Today she had a party with her old classmates and were chatting in a street cafe. She unexpectedly saw her brother, who had been a bachelor for years, walking affectionately with a beautiful girl, talking and laughing. Their relationship was definitely not ordinary.
"I'll call and ask. This brat is keeping it a secret. Last time I called, he said he didn't have it." Aunt Wang couldn't wait to call to confirm, but her daughter stopped her. "Don't alert them. Let Tianlang tell you himself. From the looks of it, it should be soon. Maybe we can hold the wedding banquet next spring."
"Okay, I won't ask. What does the girl look like? How old is she?"
Aunt Wang was itching to meet her future daughter-in-law.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Don't meddle in other people's business, beautiful girl. They won't live with you and my dad after they get married anyway. Let them live on their own. Just mind your own business and relax." Lu Tianjie reminded.
Aunt Wang hung up the phone happily and said to Jiang Hanyan happily, "Tianjie said Tianlang has a girlfriend. I saw them shopping together today. This guy kept it a secret."
"Congratulations. I'll go to the wedding then." Jiang Hanyan said with a smile.
"Haha, I'll definitely invite you. I hope we can have a wedding banquet in the spring of next year."
Aunt Wang's face was full of wrinkles from smiling. She had given out so many red envelopes in the past, and this time she could finally get them back.
I had to go to school the next day and resumed my busy and fulfilling life. However, Zhou Hongqin's arrival added some surprises to my ordinary life.
Compared to the previous few days, Zhou Hongqin now looks even more haggard, with messy and greasy hair and no makeup on her face, revealing her skin that truly reflects her age. It is sallow and dull, with many spots. Of course, compared to women of the same age, Zhou Hongqin is still much more beautiful.
But Zhou Hongqin has been living in dire straits these days. Her daughter has unexpected situations every day. She wakes up in the middle of the night from nightmares, bones get stuck in her throat when eating, she falls while taking a bath, and she gets her hands burned by pouring boiling water.
Various accidents occurred one after another, and even Zhou Hongqin was affected. She couldn't live like this for a day. She spent a lot of money on the so-called experts, but it was of no use. Instead, the condition became more and more serious. She also had nightmares at night recently. There was always a bloody face in her dreams, smiling at her grimly. After waking up in the middle of the night, she couldn't fall asleep again and kept her eyes open until dawn.
Zhou Hongqin had no choice but to come to Zhou Yuxin and admit defeat.
