Chapter 241
The community is not too big, but the square is very lively. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that most of the residents in the community are old people and children. After all, in this day and age, fewer and fewer young people are interested in outdoor activities.
Most of the people living in this community are employees of the Jingsha Iron and Steel Plant, a well-known nearby state-owned enterprise. After so many years, those seniors who dedicated their youth to become the industrial foundation of the Republic have all grown old, and this community has become a large nursing home.
Young people in Hucheng often choose to live closer to the city center, or simply go to nearby Hongcheng or further away big cities to find development opportunities, and their children are often left to their parents to take care of them. Ever since, empty nesters and left-behind children have become a common phenomenon in this generation.
Of course, these are off topic.
The life of going out and working hard is very hard, and people who can make a name for themselves can be described as rare. So, after hearing that Jiang Chen had created his own business in Wanghai City, and even bought a house there, his parents would be so happy.
The only thing that bothered Jiang Chen's parents was probably the problem with their grandson.
Although Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to get married so early, his parents were obviously not very satisfied with his idea. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about his classmates in junior high school, many of them have children who can already make soy sauce. This includes his school beauty in junior high school, although it is now disabled...
On the dance floor in the middle of the square, several old men and women were playing with the stereo.
Passing by, Jiang Chen walked towards the stone pavilion his mother had mentioned.
…
"General! Haha." Jiang Jianguo laughed loudly, and vigorously slapped the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard.
The chess player sitting in front of him frowned. After a long while, he loosened his brows and sighed: "What a mandarin duck cannon, I thought my two chariots could win back a victory, but I didn't expect to be pulled back by this hippopotamus."
"It's a narrow victory, and it's getting late. If I don't go back, I'm afraid my wife will come and urge me to go back for dinner." Jiang Jianguo waved his hand with a smile, and said modestly.
"Hey, Lao Jiang is really blessed. This son is promising, his chess skills have also improved, and his body is much tougher than before. If my kid can have half of your son's prospects, I'm afraid I will wake up laughing in my dreams." .” Zhang Xingye sighed.
His son went to Hongcheng to work. After repaying the mortgage with the monthly salary, the couple's expenses can barely be maintained. Although it is next to the lake city, but basically only have time to go home until the Chinese New Year. The only thing that comforts him,
That is, the 3-year-old grandson. Although a little naughty, but born white and clean. It looks very pleasing.
"Old Zhang, don't sigh any more. Your grandson can already recite Tang poems, unlike my family, who is four years old and still rubbing blocks all day long." Although this seems to be a complaint, it is strictly From the cheerful expression on Zhengwen's face, it can be seen that he doesn't dislike that playful grandson.
"Speaking of which, Lao Jiang, when will you let your son bring your grandson back to hug you?" Lao Zhang jokingly joked to Jiang Jianguo.
Speaking of his grandson, Jiang Jianguo also had a somewhat helpless expression on his face.
"Don't mention it. Returning the grandson. That kid didn't even get a wife back."
"It shouldn't be. Logically speaking, we already have this house, and even opened our own company. With Xiaojiang's conditions, if we put it in our Hucheng side, the matchmakers can line up in a long line. The people in this city What is the woman thinking?" Lao Yan stroked his stubble and said puzzledly.
The few old people who don't use the Internet naturally don't know that the Xiaojiang they are talking about is not only affectionately called the national husband by a group of female fans and followers on the scarf. There is also an ambiguous scandal with a certain female star...
To put it as a joke without exaggeration, if Jiang Chen really winds up his scarf to ask for marriage. Don't talk about matchmakers, those who come to ask for a warm bed in person will probably have to queue up.
"Old Liu who works in the real estate department. The girl in his family doesn't seem to be married yet. And she is also a college student. She just graduated this year. How about I help you talk about it?" Lao Zhang asked tentatively.
"There is also Lao Xia's daughter, who has only graduated for a year, and I heard that she is also in Wanghai City. She seems to work in a big company. I think it's okay to pair them up!" Chen Weidong, who had just lost chess , It is also an idea for an old friend.
"Hey! It's too early to say these things now." Lao Jiang sighed.
"What's so early, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? Your son is always coming back for the Chinese New Year this year." Old Zhang said.
"Yeah, now there are more men than women. Didn't you hear the news? By 2020, there will be 20 million more men than women. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married by then." Lao Yan wears glasses and is an iron factory worker. A technician who likes to watch some news on weekdays.
"It's only 20 million, and our population is more than one billion." Lao Zhang gave him a sideways look with contempt.
"Stupid, there are less than 200 million people who need to get married, and 20 million is equivalent to 10 million..."
Listening to the nonsense of his old friends, Jiang Jianguo's face was also a little worried. What if his son really can't find a wife? The house is all ready, but you can't hold your grandson, how can you be so wronged?
Jiang Jianguo thought about it in his mind, secretly thinking that this is not possible, so he hurriedly pulled Lao Zhang back.
"How about Lao Liu's daughter?"
"I've seen it before, it's very pretty." Old Zhang said cheerfully.
"Then you have to tell me, it's not a problem to wait for that kid to find him." Jiang Jianguo said quickly.
"Haha, Lao Jiang can't sit still anymore. All right! I, Zhang Xingye, will help with this!"
"And Xia Donghua's daughter, this..."
"I'll go talk to Lao Xia. He's from our technical department. I'll go and talk. Haha, Lao Jiang, if this is done, there will be a drink." Lao Yan clapped his hands and smiled.
"Well, it's just a drink. If my boy really catches his eye, I'll treat you to ten drinks!" Lao Jiang waved his hand proudly and said.
"Then I'm going to have a lot of money. I haven't done anything to help, and I have to drink." Old Chen said happily from the side.
"Huh? Isn't that Xiao Jiang?" the sharp-eyed old Zhang stretched his neck and said.
Jiang Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and was just about to say that you, an old fellow, should learn how to put on a pair of glasses carefully, but when he turned around, he was stunned.
"Dad! I'm back." Looking at the familiar voice, Jiang Chen's eyes trembled slightly, and his voice was tinged with a bit of sigh.
"Son, you brat! Are you finally thinking about coming back?" Seeing his son, Jiang Jianguo's eyes were a little moist. Although his mouth was not forgiving, he hugged Jiang Chen's shoulders and pressed hard A pat on the top.
"That's right, my body is getting stronger, good, good..." After saying several good words in succession, his voice became a little choked up.
Knowing the face-saving disposition of this old man, if acquaintances saw him like this, he might be ashamed to go out to play chess within half a month. Ever since, the three old friends waved their hands tactfully and said goodbye.
"Lao Jiang, it's time for my old lady to come and urge me, so I'll take a step first."
"I'm almost there too, haha, I haven't bought the stewed vegetables that the mother-in-law asked me to buy, so I'm leaving first, so I'll let you go first."
"Haha, I'm leaving too, so I won't bother you father and son."
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Yan, we will definitely come to visit some other day." Jiang Chen said solemnly.
They are both employees of a steel factory. When Jiang Chen was young, Jiang Jianguo often took him to visit the homes of two old people.
"Haha, Xiao Jiang is promising now, and he still remembers us old men..."
After exchanging pleasantries, the three old people gradually walked away.
Although there were many things he wanted to say to his son, Jiang Jianguo's throat moved for a long time, but he didn't say a word.
How to put it, a thousand words can't compare to the reality of seeing my son like this.
"Dad, Mom asked me to call you back for dinner."
Hearing that "Dad", Jiang Jianguo instantly felt that something was filled in his heart.
With a red neck, he chuckled and patted his son on the shoulder. He was so excited that he was a little incoherent for a while.
