520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"...You should have told me earlier that you can't do this next time."

Chen Aifang looked shy, and she hit Xiang Aiguo's chest with her palm and fist, then held his face and said this.

Xiang Aiguo, who was hit on the chest, felt a dull pain: "..."

He held his breath, then, with a doting smile, shook his head at Chen Aifang who said, "I'll go see if there's anything else to eat at home," to indicate that he didn't care. But in his heart, he decided to keep silent about the fact that he turned the air conditioner to such a low temperature last night because he couldn't stand the heat and wanted to cool down, and take it to his grave.

All I can say is, you should use the lid that matches your pot.

Among millions of people, meeting each other and starting a family is a special and strange fate.

"We're all back, but not only did Nian Nian not come to pick us up at the airport, she didn't even prepare a meal for us when we landed. They say daughters are caring and thoughtful, but I think ours is not worry-free at all!"

Outside, after rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Chen Aifang only found two packets of instant noodles and two eggs that she wasn't sure if they were edible or not. She started to mutter again.

They completely ignored the fact that their landing time yesterday was late at night when public transportation was very inconvenient.

They also completely ignored how Xiang Huanian, an ordinary citizen who had just graduated, could arrange a special car to pick them up at the airport in the middle of the night with a meager wallet as an unemployed vagrant or someone who had just found a part-time job for a few days and had not yet received his salary in the eyes of the public.

He also completely ignored how dangerous it was for a girl like Xiang Huanian, who was in her prime youth, to hail a taxi alone in the middle of the night.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. You're frowning so early in the morning. Be careful not to ruin the good feng shui of the whole day. Okay, it's just instant noodles. I'll make it. You go sit down and wait for your meal."

Xiang Aiguo, who was so hungry that he couldn't sleep and whose sleepiness was gradually fading away, walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. He casually tried to persuade her and took the instant noodles from Chen Aifang's hand.

He was really afraid that Chen Aifang would get angry and crush all the instant noodles inside. If that happened, he would have to eat the instant noodles with a spoon.

In order to ensure his own food supply, Xiang Aiguo was very considerate and took over Chen Aifang's position as chef.

As a middle-aged woman, Chen Aifang may not understand the horoscopes that young people are keen on, but she will definitely listen to what is about feng shui.

Feeling that Xiang Aiguo was considerate of her and Chen Aifang was grateful, she withdrew her hand that was holding the instant noodles, sat down at the dining table obediently, and waited to eat.

But some people just can't sit idle.

"Hey, Aiguo, I wonder how Nian Nian is doing at her job now. I haven't seen her for a long time since she went abroad. How about this weekend when we have a day off and invite her over to have dinner.

It's a good opportunity to ask her about her boss and ask her boss to introduce some of the girls around her to us. When Dejie graduates and comes back, we can arrange a blind date for them and start a family first and then build a career.

The people around the boss sisters must be very financially powerful. Maybe they can add a lot of strength to our Dejie business in the future...

But we have to choose one carefully, from a family with a clean and honest family tradition. I don’t mind housework, but a rich girl would definitely not be used to it. In the future, if our daughter-in-law hires a nanny, I can also enjoy it, how wonderful it is..."

Chen Aifang, with her hands supporting her cheeks, was sitting at the dining table, imagining that she and her son would live in a big villa in the future and live a life of being served by others. She was so happy that she was almost bubbling with joy.

The more realistic Xiang Aiguo just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He still felt that the most important thing was to quickly fill his growling stomach.

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"

Half asleep and half awake, with a feeling of amnesia that he had no idea what day it was, Xiang Huanian felt his cell phone vibrating on the bedside table.

Thinking it was an alarm clock, Xiang Huanian's student life was dominated by alarm clocks almost every day. As if by reflex, he quickly opened his eyes, trying to check the time. How many alarms had this been? Had he overslept? Was he going to be late?!

But when Xiang Huanian looked closely, he found that it was not an alarm clock, but a caller ID, and it was a call from Lin Yunchu.

Realizing that the phone had been ringing for a long time, Xiang Huanian quickly sat up and answered the call.

Before Xiang Huanian could apologize, Lin Yunchu's energetic voice came over the other end of the phone, following the current:

"Niannian! Get up! If you're still sleepy, come to my place first. The manicure and massage I scheduled are here. Come out and see what style you want. Once you've chosen, you can lie down and enjoy the massage. It will definitely be more comfortable if you sleep then! Come on, I'll be waiting for you."

After Lin Yunchu said this, she didn't give Xiang Huanian any room to refuse and immediately hung up the phone.

Xiang Huanian was left listening to the "beep, beep, beep" sound on the phone, looking a little dazed.

It’s no wonder that Xiang Huanian had an illusion.

When she was about to graduate from college, her sleep time was squeezed to only six hours a day, almost catching up with that of a high school student.

At that time, Xiang Huanian was about to graduate, but he needed internship credits to graduate from university.

Xiang Huanian was completely unaware of the necessity of internship credits by her supervisor, so she hurriedly found a company that could issue her an internship certificate.

There is no food or accommodation provided, no five social insurances or housing fund, and her monthly salary is not even as high as her living expenses which have just reached four figures.

Moreover, if he takes one day off, he will be deducted one hundred yuan. If he takes 10 days off in a month, Xiang Huanian might even have to pay for it.

But sometimes, if something happens at school and the counselor or tutor requires the student to be present, she has to ask for leave.

Xiang Huanian actually only realized what kind of shady company she had joined after she received her salary. However, her internship list and report to school had already been submitted, and it was too late to make changes.

Then, because Xiang Huanian's internship place is some distance away from the school, it takes nearly an hour to take the subway. The entire one-way commute takes one hour and twenty minutes if Xiang Huanian is quick and catches every transfer subway.

During that period, Xiang Huanian had to deal with a tutor who was confused and not sincere in grading his papers. He had to revise his papers several times without making any major changes. His life was really difficult.

Therefore, Xiang Huanian's sensitivity and resistance to alarm clocks were also developed at that time.

But for the sake of credits, Xiang Huanian had no choice but to endure it. Fortunately, it was only three months.

Here, the memories ended, Xiang Huanian broke away from it, stretched out his hands, which were a little rough from doing housework since he was a child, and muttered to himself:

"Manicure, this is my first time, I wonder if it will look good..."
