Seaside Inn

Jiang Ran left Ji Kun behind and drove to the station to pick up the person. He had waited for a long time but didn't see anyone at nine o'clock.

"Fourth, here it is!"

Jiang Zhiming suddenly appeared from behind Jiang Ran, startling Jiang Ran, Jiang Zhiming grinned, "Wait a long time, haha, scare you and refresh you."

Jiang Ran glanced at Jiang Zhiming angrily. After not seeing him for a few months, Jiang Zhiming seemed like a different person.

I used to dress casually at home, and I was too lazy to take care of my hair and shaved it clean. Now I have left my hair and have a hairstyle, plus a brown sweater, black leggings, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. No matter how you look, you look energetic.

Jiang Zhiming was not stage fright at all, and looked at Jiang Ran generously, "How is it, I bought it new."

Jiang Ran nodded, "Very handsome."

"Whether handsome or not, he's a father." Jiang Zhiming got in the car and talked about what he saw and heard while working in T City, daily life, encounters, and contacts.

When he spoke, his brows were high and his eyes were shining, and his spirit was high.It can be seen that life in T City is very adaptable.

Before Jiang Ran lent his house in T City to Jiang Zhiming, and he paid attention to him for a short time. After all, Jiang Ran recommended him to work, so he has to be responsible.

Jiang Ran didn't feel relieved until Zhao Yiyan said that he had adapted well and started running orders by himself.

Not long afterward, Jiang Zhiming sold the house and opened an order to make money. Jiang Dagong came to thank Jiang Ran with a special gift, and asked Jiang to scold him. The two old men also drank together all night.

As I said before, real estate agency is hard work, but as long as you work hard, the income is also objective.Jiang Zhiming, who has made money, is becoming more and more excited. One thing good about country boys is that they are flexible, resistant to setbacks, and the more frustrated they become, the more courageous they become. His hard work has allowed him to accumulate a lot of customers, and his performance in the store is also at an upper-middle level. , earning more money than those who worked outside before, he is not a person who can't figure it out, Jiang Ran said that he would not pay the rent if he didn't want it, and took advantage of others, even his own brothers didn't live in someone's house for nothing.

So after making money, he called the rent to Jiang Ran according to the market price, and was very thoughtful. After Jiang Ran agreed, he rented the remaining two rooms of the house to colleagues in the same store.First, he doesn't need such a big house alone. Second, if he rents together, someone will share the rent.

Jiang Ran is not willing to rent it to someone else, but Jiang Zhiming is here, he is a brother in the family, and he rents it to a colleague he knows, and he is at ease looking at Jiang Ran.Moreover, he gave the house to Jiang Zhiming because he wanted him to have a comfortable environment, not to burden him.

Jiang Zhiming came back with a bunch of things, and took two bottles of XO from his bag, "I don't know what to give you. You have lived in T City longer than me, and you eat more specialties than me."

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "I know you still brought wine back? Are we polite?"

"That's not okay. You still have to bring it." Jiang Zhiming pointed to the big bag and said, "Look, how many things I brought back. It would be impolite to give you two bottles of wine. That's a trivial matter."

The two walked into Grand Duke Jiang's house with a smile.

Jiang Dagong's house was very lively early in the morning. Jiang Dagong is 75 years old this year, which is half his life, and everyone close to Jiang's family has come.

The Jiang family has a small population. There are only three brothers in Jiang Dagong's generation.

The son under his knees didn't come back from other places, but Jiang Yongming and Jiang Wenming, the grandchildren, came.He is the eldest and second child of Jiang Ran's generation, followed by the third child Jiang Zhiming and the fourth child Jiang Ran.

Four grandchildren, plus three granddaughters-in-law, and a few dolls running and jumping on the ground, the family is very lively.

Jiang Zhiming opened the bag, and it was full of presents, everyone got a share, including several children.After it was over, he hugged his son and kissed him non-stop.

"Grandfather, I'm going to see my father."

Grand Duke Jiang nodded and let Jiang Zhiming go upstairs.

When the son comes back, of course he has to visit Lao Tzu.

Jiang Zhiming's father had a car accident when he was young, and he was paralyzed in bed early.Seeing that he was hopeless, his wife lost her son and ran away.

If Jiang Ran’s mother’s generation suffered some kind of curse, two of the three children did not end well, Jiang Zhiming’s father was paralyzed, Jiang Ran’s mother was gone, and one of them would not go home when he became well-off.

After Jiang Zhiming met his father, all the old, big and young people in the yard went to Jiang Ran's house.

It stands to reason that Jiang Dagong's birthday should be celebrated at his own home, but Jiang Ran's home has a homestay, the environment is good, and Jiang's grandparents cook delicious food, of course he chose to go to Jiang Ran's home to be lively!

You can smell the aroma of rice at Jiang Ran's door, and Jiang Zhiming snorts, "Braised pig's trotters, my favorite."

Grand Duke Jiang rolled his eyes at him, "The nose of a dog reborn from a dog."

Jiang Zhiming hugged his son and showed his big white teeth.

Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang have been busy in the kitchen for a long time, washing, cutting, and pickling vegetables. The previous procedures are all done, and they will have time to chat with the big guys when Jiang Ran comes back to cook!

"Hey, fourth brother, your yard is really good." Jiang Yongming looked at the yard with envy on his face. It must be comfortable to live in such a beautiful yard.Jiang Wenming had a different idea from his elder brother, "When you flipped houses before, I told you to build another building connected to this open space, so that you don't have to live with the elderly when you marry a wife. You don't know , girls nowadays don’t like to live with their elders.”

Jiang Ran gave an excuse to go to the kitchen to work with a smile.

Jiang Zhiming's daughter-in-law Zhang Yan came in and said a few words of thanks to Jiang Ran before she took the vegetables and her signature and went to the yard to skewer.

She should be grateful to Jiang Ran. To be honest, she has not seen this uncle for three years since she married here. According to five fingers, he is the highest educated in the whole family, and the job he found after graduation is also the best. Yes, the boss's assistant, that's a very respectable job.Occasionally, Zhang Yan would compare him with her husband. When she compared her, she felt that she married a worthless man. Later, when she heard that he had been fired and came back, she still felt a little balanced in her heart when she said something dark. , People are introducing jobs and borrowing houses for nothing. This is the real good.Now that Zhiming is promising, although the outside work is a little harder, but the money he earns is sent back to her. There are grandparents at home to help, and the child is taken care of, so I feel more at ease. Looking back, it is all thanks to Jiang Ran.So her thanks are sincere and from the heart.

The kitchen was hot, Jiang Ran took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves to cook. Hearing the lively voices outside, what he thought of was the lonely Ji Kun upstairs. I don’t know if he would feel uncomfortable in his heart. Well, even though he keeps saying he doesn't care.

Boiled sliced ​​meat, steamed fish, dry pot pipi shrimp, fried crab in sauce, spicy snails, steamed chicken in old wine, stir-fried flower clams, vermicelli shrimp with garlic, meat swallow soup, stewed pork ribs with razor clams, these are almost the same, ginger But thinking about the fact that there are still children, I made another steamed egg with minced meat, and added the pig's trotters and chicken feet that were marinated in the pot early in the morning, and it was good.

It was cold, and the big guys ate on the big tea table in the living room. Zhang Yan and the other two sisters-in-law had almost dressed up the barbecue skewers. Jiang Ran lit the charcoal fire of the grill and let it go Burn it, wait for a while to eat and drink, and then bake it for some entertainment.

Grand Duke Jiang took his seat first, and everyone followed suit. Old man Jiang frowned when he saw Jiang Ran sitting down, "Good boy, why don't you ask Ah Kun to come down for dinner?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback, and the old man Jiang said, "What are you doing so stupidly?"

Grand Duke Jiang knew about Ji Kun, so he helped the old man no matter what, "Go, there is no reason for us to eat and leave him alone."

Jiang Ran nodded and went upstairs.

Pushing open the door of Ji Kun's room, this guy had been sitting in front of the computer for hundreds of years and was videoing Yu Xin.

Yu Xin whistled, "Hey, little fresh meat."

Ji Kun turned his head, "Why are you here?"

"I told you to go down and eat." Jiang Ran said.

Ji Kun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and teased, "Are you willing to give me a title?"

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes, "Don't play tricks."

Ji Kun turned off the video with a smile, and didn't even say hello. Yu Xin was obviously used to it, and he didn't have a temper at all. After turning off the computer, he dragged his chin and thought, "Why does it look familiar?"

Ji Kun followed Jiang Ran downstairs for a brief introduction and sat next to Jiang Ran. Today's protagonist is not him, but he can't help people feel fresh.

"The young man looks strangely tall, what should he eat?"

"That's the only benefit, thanks to the big brother."

"Hey, what do rednecks say?"

With Ji Kun's temperament, people he doesn't like give him too many looks, but as long as he wants to, there is nothing he can't catch.

Jiang Ran sat aside and watched his two bottles of beer go down, and followed his three brothers above him to call him brothers.

"Fourth."

Jiang Ran quickly regained consciousness and looked at Wang Qing, the sister-in-law in the lobby.

Wang Qing said, "Sister-in-law asks you, do you have a partner?"

Jiang Ran didn't speak, and Ji Kun stopped clinking glasses.

It's not just the two of them, everyone stopped their topics and looked at it, it must be, the only one left in the family is Jiang Lao Si who is not married, this is top-notch gossip, who doesn't want to know?

Before Jiang Ran could speak, Wang Qing became anxious, "Hey, I'm still shy about just one word."

The second sister-in-law, Zhao Zhaodi, smiled and said, "No, the fourth child is the most tempered and shy in our family."

"Tell me, fourth child?"

Jiang Ran said, "No."

Wang Qing smiled, "Hey, if you don't have it, you don't have it. There's nothing you can't say. But the fourth child, you said that you are already 26. If you don't get married at 25 here, you are a leftover man. Did you work in a big city before?" We didn't talk about the time. You said that you are back now and set up a homestay. It's not a very good day, why haven't you found a partner. "

Jiang Ran could only say, "No hurry."

This time it wasn't Wang Qing's turn to speak, Jiang Dagong glared and said, "Why don't you worry, you're almost 25, don't worry, your third brother got married at 26 and had a baby at [-], now Xiaobao can call him daddy , you're still sticking around!"

The old man Jiang said, "What do you mean? What's the use of a partner forcing my good boy? If you say you want it, there will be one. Let me see if one falls from the sky!"

Grandpa Jiang's daughter-in-law, Grandma Jiang, said, "Brother, I know you love your grandson, it's not because of you. If this continues, you plan to make your grandson a bachelor? Brother and sister, say something."

Mrs. Jiang was expressionless, "You can say that you have a partner, can you?"

Hey, this is only Mrs. Jiang who has a clear mind.

You can see the point at a glance.

"Isn't it just that? If not, can we talk nonsense?" Wang Qing said with a smile, "My old colleague has a daughter who is 24 this year and graduated from college this year. He is now working as a receptionist for a building materials company in the county. He has an older brother , is married. There is a house and a car in the county. But it belongs to her brother. Girls don’t talk about it. It’s not my compliment. That girl looks really good-looking, not worse than girls in big cities. You have a good temper too. Fourth brother, why don't you meet and have a meal when you have time?"

Wang Qing works as a nurse in the county hospital and knows many people.

Zhao Zhaodi clapped her hands, "That's not very good. I'm only two years behind the fourth child. It's good for young people to have topics to talk about."

Others also responded one after another, only Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang remained silent.

How did this good birthday party become a forced wedding party?

Jiang Ran's mouth was bitter and he couldn't speak.

Ji Kun could feel the stiffness of the people around him, and sighed secretly. He reached out and patted Jiang Ran's clenched fist under the invisible table. Jiang Ran immediately turned to look at him. Opened his fist and wrote a '1' on his palm.

This is what made him agree.

Jiang Ran still refused to speak, but he was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to disclose it directly.

Anyway, that's what he's been doing all his life, without Ji Kun, he wouldn't harm other girls.

He had just plucked up the courage to make a decision, but Jiang Dagong put the wine glass on the table with a loud voice, and everyone sitting there felt a thump in their hearts.

"That's it, Yong Ming's daughter-in-law set a date. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow weekend, coincidentally."

This is the final decision.

Wang Qing quickly nodded in response, "Hey! Master."

The author has something to say:

(Tell me why Jiang Ran is called differently from them. Jiang Ran is a grandson. Although the old man Jiang has one grandson, it is because he has no grandson. According to his seniority, he should call Grand Duke Jiang the Grand Duke. That Yong Ming, civilized The grandchildren will of course call me grandpa.)
