Chapter 390: Yanping's triple whammy
How could a room full of brand-new furniture and decorations not make people feel happy?
Daughter Wu Lan had worked hard for half her life, and now life was finally getting better. Grandma's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles:
"Good, good, good!"
"Tan Tan," she sighed at this moment: "What you said on the road about wanting to build a career first before finding a partner also makes sense—you can build such a big house, if your partner can't build one later, life can't get worse and worse, right? That really won't do."
Song Tan:...
Grandma, if you had said this earlier, why would she have had to talk nonsense for a hundred and eight thousand miles?
But Song Tan's faint melancholy didn't last long, because as soon as Grandma opened the door, she saw Zhang Yanping, now dark and tall, standing at the door, smiling at her with a mouthful of white teeth:
"Grandma, I chose the mattress for you; is it suitable?"
"Suitable, suitable, hard board, your grandfather and I just like this kind. Oh my, my big grandson is so thoughtful..."
Grandma was also smiling like a flower: "But Yanping! What's going on? When Qiao Qiao went over during the Dragon Boat Festival, didn't they say you didn't do any work? How did you get so pitch black?"
Zhang Yanping:... It wasn't necessary to publicize the fact that he didn't do work everywhere, right?
However, asking such a heart-piercing question as soon as he opened his mouth—this was his own grandma.
He was also aggrieved:
"I don't know either!"
If you talk about sun exposure, he definitely was exposed. But the problem was, who in the family wasn't exposed to the sun? Why was he the only one who turned this black?
He remembered when he first came, his skin was white and soft, just a bit round and fat, and plus his smile was harmonious, his old classmates all said he was born to be a businessman.
Now it was good; his face was black, his fists were clenched, and he looked like he was going out to collect debts; it couldn't be more frightening.
Yanping was aggrieved.
Fortunately, Grandma soon ignored his appearance.
After all, in the eyes of an old person who had experienced the world, being a bit darker and sturdier was at most ugly and didn't affect dressing or eating.
Therefore, she asked again: "Yanping, you're not young this year, almost thirty, right? Why haven't you found a partner yet?"
Zhang Yanping:?!
!
Song Tan:!
!
She was refreshed, thinking, Brother Yanping, Brother Yanping, this wave wasn't me sacrificing you first; it was really you bumping into it yourself, and it had nothing to do with me, Tan Tan.
Sure enough, Zhang Yanping was also in a state of collapse.
But fortunately, adults had all experienced this situation, so he quickly laughed and joked:
"It's okay, Grandma, a young man as excellent as me has to be careful when dating; we have to build a career before starting a family, right?"
Grandma unceremoniously belittled him: "Yanping, a grown man, you can't always hold yourself so high—you're not a scientist, adding bricks and tiles to the country every second; can getting married delay your career? You haven't married, and you don't have a career either, right?"
Zhang Yanping:...
A grandson can be killed but not humiliated, Grandma!
He said indignantly: "I pay taxes to the country; how is that not adding bricks and tiles?"
Ah, this.
Song Tan was a bit embarrassed: "Brother Yanping, with your salary of two thousand and something, you don't reach the level of paying taxes."
Zhang Yanping:...
He said hatefully: "Then, then how is this not a career? I'm Tan Tan's sales and customer service; I'm using one person for many purposes!"
"You're that capable?"
Grandma was actually a bit surprised, but...
"Other sales and customer service people carry mobile phones and computers wherever they go; why were you the only one who didn't go back during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
That's right, during the Dragon Boat Festival family gathering, Wang Wang didn't go back, Zhang Yanping didn't go back, and Wu Ling, who was in college, didn't go back either. Grandma felt a bit lost in her heart, and she asked it now.
Zhang Yanping sighed:
"Grandma, you have to talk to my mom about this; she insists on me going back to take the civil service exam! I don't love being a civil servant. Every time my mom sees me, she urges me, either to sign up for classes or to go to training courses; I really don't dare to meet her..."
】
Grandma frowned: "Your mom is just blind thinking; is a civil servant something you can be just because you want to? You look so fierce; fortunately, it's now. In ancient times, when being an official, they wouldn't want someone like you."
Zhang Yanping:...
Understood, the grandson really has no status, right?
He instantly made a bitter face, and his dark face looked even more fierce.
Grandfather, listening on the side, felt it was getting more and more outrageous, so he hurriedly pulled his wife's clothes: "What are you saying!"
Only then did Grandma react and hurriedly said: "But civil servant wages aren't high. A young man like you doesn't have a partner and goes to do this; later, you'll still need your parents to subsidize you to support a family, which isn't very suitable."
"Right?"
Zhang Yanping finally found a soulmate: "My mom insists that the iron rice bowl is good, but how much is the salary for an iron rice bowl a month? I really don't like it."
Grandma was old; what couldn't she see through?
At this moment, she laughed and comforted him: "Your mom has an obsession. When she was young, her good friend graduated from high school and went directly to work as a unit descendant. Your mom still had to work for others and was almost cheated into doing pyramid schemes... Since then, she felt that the iron rice bowl was still good."
"You young people now all have your own ideas; you can talk to your mom later, as long as you live your own life well."
Zhang Yanping was finally beaming:
"Grandma, you're still the enlightened one!"
Grandma nodded: "That's right!"
"But Yanping, you're not taking the civil service exam, and your work at Tan Tan's is definitely stable. So when are you finding a partner?"
Zhang Yanping:... Mobius, infinite loop, right?
He stammered: "I haven't met anyone suitable, and I haven't met anyone I like."
"What do you think is suitable, and what do you like?"
Grandma asked very seriously: "Tell me roughly, and I'll ask around for you later."
"Look at you one by one; young people now all say they are single dogs—is finding a partner that difficult?"
Zhang Yanping laughed and didn't take the bait: "Grandma, finding a partner is quite difficult, but the most important thing is that being single is very happy, so don't worry."
He hurriedly pushed the little old lady to turn around, and then pushed her and Grandfather into the living room together.
Over there, Qiao Qiao had already cut the watermelon and was waiting obediently!
Sure enough, as soon as he saw Qiao Qiao, Grandma instantly forgot the previous topic: "Look at our Qiao Qiao, so white and clean, so lovable!"
"Yanping, I remember when you were white and clean, you looked soft and harmonious. I even told your mom that you would definitely be liked by girls later. Why does your face look harder and harder now, and the more I look, the more fierce it looks..."
Zhang Yanping was already numb.
Just, the pitch-black face, the iron rice bowl he couldn't get, and the failure of being single... he couldn't escape a single one today, right?
Qiao Qiao thought for a moment and said very seriously: "Grandma, you don't have to worry. My sister said that Brother Yanping is black and sturdy like this, and at first glance, he looks especially capable of fighting and enduring hardship, very diligent, and will definitely trick others." ===== CHAPTER 391 =====
