Capítulo 772: 472 Staying Overnight: Wanwan Assisting vs Huo Ye’s Exceptional Performance?
Pingjiang, Tang Family’s old house
The car had just entered the alley when Tang Wan spotted the Tang family’s old master, leaning on his jujube-redwood walking stick, squinting his eyes, and chatting with a few neighbors. Apparently, the buzz was about Tang Wan returning ho and the Jiang Family coming over to formally propose an engagent. People had gathered to see the excitent.
They were all old neighbors, and the saying ‘distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors’ held true; their relationship was naturally good. So as soon as Tang Wan got out of the car, she was surrounded by the crowd, and Jiang Jinsang was not spared either.
The old man of the Tang family had always favored Jiang Jinsang, eagerly introducing him to the neighbors, his face filled with pride.
It was all about praising Jiang Jinsang. These elders were very straightforward in their complints, and since Jiang Jinsang was always proper in speech, everyone in the neighborhood thought he made an excellent son-in-law for the Tang family.
“Tsk, the old man Tang really favors our Xiaowu.” Jiang Chengsi smirked lightly.
Jiang Yanting, as usual, wore a stern face, “That’s because he hasn’t been worn down by him. You don’t know what a little brat he was when he was young.”
“That’s true.” Jiang Chengsi turned to look at Jiang Shiyi on the side, “Hey, brother, this is your first ti here, isn’t it?”
Jiang Shiyi didn’t respond. He had previously visited when Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang were secretly engaged. At that ti, he had to maintain the facade in front of his father, so not many people knew about it.
The neighbors were also generous with their praise for the Jiang brothers. Everyone entered the bustling courtyard where Hua i had been calling out ever since hearing Tang Wan’s voice. Now, the bird was screeching even louder…
Hua i’s call was naturally very high-pitched and clear, but perhaps having been teased too much by the old master earlier, it sounded hoarse.
The call was like a broken gong, relentlessly tearing at the air.
“Dad.” Upon entering, Tang Wan saw her father.
Tang Yunxian was naturally happy to see his daughter return, but due to Jiang Jinsang standing by her side, he had to maintain his father-in-law deanor.
“Hmm.”
“Uncle Tang.” Jiang Jinsang addressed him and did not change his form of address, seemingly waiting for a more ceremonious occasion to do so.
Tang Yunxian huffed lightly, a greeting in response, clearly not very fond of him.
With her father’s help, the two “stole” the household registration book and got their marriage license at lightning speed. Everyone said Jiang Jinsang wouldn’t live past twenty-eight, citing his poor health, and even after his surgery, was it not a short while before he managed to conceive a child?
Tang Wan had always been well-behaved, and Jiang Jinsang was polite and respectful in their presence. Yet these two sneaking around…
Both were really capable of handling big matters!
As the two families warmly t, after a round of politeness, old man Tang invited the Jiang family inside for tea and rest, “Dinner will be ready shortly; please have a seat and rest first.”
Jiang Shiyi wasn’t close with the Tang family and with everyone gathered in the living room, decided to step outside for so air.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Hua i hanging in the corridor, grabbing the perch and shaking its head, “Chirp—chirp—”
Hua i: Stay away, or I’ll bite you!
Jiang Shiyi had never kept birds and didn’t know what this ant, only finding the bird quite amusing. Picking up a small stick nearby, he poked at it a couple of tis.
Hua i was already wary of strangers, and being poked with the stick did not help.
The bird was completely provoked and assud an attack posture.
But as Jiang Shiyi held the stick, it couldn’t reach him. Just then…
“Brother, why are you outside playing with the bird? We’re about to eat…” Jiang Chengsi erged from behind, waving his hand in front of the cage, simply trying to play with the bird.
However, Hua i, having been teased by the old master and then toyed with by Jiang Shiyi, had its feathers ruffled, flapping its wings and aiming for its target, aiming right at Jiang Chengsi’s palm…
And pecking fiercely!
“Ow—” Jiang Chengsi let out a muffled cry of pain.
“What’s wrong?” Fan Mingyu called from inside.
“Nothing, nothing.” Jiang Chengsi covered his palm, naturally unable to admit he’d been pecked by a bird.
Didn’t Jiangjiang say this bird was called so sort of silly na, like Daidai? It was supposed to be slow-witted, yet it bit?
Jiang Shiyi put down the teasing stick, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” No skin was broken and no blood was drawn, but to be pecked fiercely by a sharp beak still hurt considerably.
“See, even birds don’t like you.”
“…”
When Jiang Chengsi entered the house, he was still inspecting his palm and asked absently, “Brother, the business card grandma gave you last ti, did you take it?”
Jiang Shiyi glanced at him nonchalantly.
“That girl from the lab, after grandma gave it to , I think I stuffed it to you, didn’t I?”
“Recently, grandma asked about it again, saying even if you don’t consider her for dating, you should at least thank her. But now that card is gone, did I give it to you?”
At that ti, when he heard the old lady wanted to set him up with that cool girl, he was sowhat dumbfounded. Why did the old lady love to play matchmaker so much? He wanted to extricate himself from the situation completely and couldn’t rember where he had thrown the business card.
