Chapter 359. Weng Mei Jia
When old Madam Hu came over to old Madam Zhu's place, she brought this up.
Old Madam Zhu was surprised: "Really this outstanding?"
"Ain't that right? You know that old man of mine, most people usually can't get enter his eyes. He can't stop praising him after seeing him once," Old Madam Hu replied.
Old Madam Zhu's mind moved when she heard this.
She got an eldest granddaughter. She was an honest person. Eighteen years old this year and nineteen after the new year.
"Last time how old did Xiao Mei's mother did say her eldest grandson was?" Old Madam Zhu asked.
"Seventeen. Eighteen after this year." Old Madam Hu answered. She felt that this young man was pretty good: "Not eighteen yet and almost 1.9 meters."
"That's pretty tall." Old Madam Zhu said as her eyes spun.
Old Madam Hu was a clever person, so she knew what she was thinking from her expression. After all, how many years had they been neighbors? They were familiar with each other's family situation?
Old Madam Zhu had an eldest granddaughter, who had reached marriageable age. Nine out of ten, old Zhou's eldest grandson caught her eye.
But old Madam Hu didn't say anything since she felt it won't happen.
Despite the fact that old Zhou's old couple were foreign residents, but their daughter-in-law was capable. She was Bei University's foreign language teacher and had moved the family over through the university's connection.
Now they were true citizens of the capital. So there is no such thing as looking down on foreign household registration.
Especially when their son and daughter-in-law were promising and filial. They bought a TV, electric fans and the likes. While their own son and daughter-in-law couldn't compare.
Still, old Madam Hu came up with some ideas.

Especially when their son and daughter-in-law were promising and filial. They bought a TV, electric fans and the likes. While their own son and daughter-in-law couldn't compare.
Still, old Madam Hu came up with some ideas.
Especially when she got a grand-nephew from her maternal family's side, who wasn't married yet. It would be great if he could marry the granddaughter of the old Zhou family named Sheng Mei.
She had seen this young lady. She was well-behaved and very obedient. Her grandnephew was a little wild, but he liked this kind of girl.
What's more, this young lady was pretty. She must be able to change her grandnephew for the better.
But it was a pity that he went back this year. If not, she planned to call her grandnephew over this year and let him see if he likes her or not.
If he likes her, then there was no problem.
The girl's conditions here were average, while her maternal grandnephew's family was excellent. She won't lose out in this marriage.
The two old ladies each have their own thoughts. Compared with them, Mother Zhou was more naive and sweet.
While she was in a high spirit, old Madam Zhu came to inquire. Mother Zhou said with a smile: "He is back, but only for ten days. After this New Year, he has to go back."
"That busy?" Old Madam Zhu asked.
"Ain't that right? This kid has always been progressive since he was a child. He had applied for harder difficulty training. He used to be quite fair, but this time he came back as black as charcoal." Mother Zhou remarked like was complaining.
Old Madam Zhu was quite pleased. It didn't matter that boys are tanned. Having aspiration and ambition was the important point.
"Really, your eldest grandson came over and you didn't call me. I haven't even seen your brilliant eldest grandson." Old Madam Zhu uttered.
Mother Zhou liked to listen to these words and beamed: "No need to be afraid of having no chance. Da Wa is filial. He will come to see us every day."
Oh, eldest grandson really give them face. Of course, the grandsons behind were the same. Er Wa and San Wa were both great.
Zhou Kai went to visit his youngest uncle and aunt before going back.
At noon, they had mantou with pork belly chicken. This simple meal made this young man fulfilled. There was sweat on his forehead.
Lin Qing He added pepper in the pig's stomach in chicken. It wasn't spicy, but it was very fragrant.
"Eldest Brother, do you want to go to the bathhouse." Zhou Gui Lai asked.
"Yes." Zhou Kai nodded. He wanted to take a good bath.
Zhou Xuan joined them. The brothers went to the bathhouse for a good while. When Zhou Kai came out, he felt a few jins lighter.
The three brothers went to the bathhouse and when they came back, there was only Second and Third.
"Eldest Brother went to his classmate's house for a visit." Zhou Xuan told.
Zhou Kai's university classmate Weng Guo Liang.
Old Weng Family was delighted to have him over.
Father Weng heartily said: "It's enough that you can visit in person during your holiday. No need to bring wine."
Zhou Kai didn't come empty-handed. He brought a bottle of good Mou Tai wine. He responded with a smile: "I come over to have a few drinks with Uncle."
Weng Guo Liang spoke: "Why have you become this dark this year?"
"Yes. As black as charcoal. You won't be able to get a wife in the future." Weng Guo Liang's sister Weng Mei Jia looked at Zhou Kai and stated.
"Being darker is no big deal. Let me tell you, girls like us to like this. Bringing us out, they'll feel pride," Zhou Kai said.
Weng Guo Liang laughed: "Come on. No one can match you in narcissism."
Weng Mei Jia also pursed her lips in amusement, "Brother Zhou Kai, did you get a girlfriend?"
"I'm only this old. Despite studying early, I'm just a few months older than you." Zhou Kai said.
He was tall and bulky. But in terms of age, it wasn't really that big. When out in the crowd, he must be the youngest one.
But talking about other things, who can be compared to him. There weren't many.
Father Weng smiled and said, "Mei Jia is only a senior freshman this year."
"Which course did Mei Jia apply for?" Zhou Kai asked.
"She went to study nursing and will be a nurse in the future," answered Father Weng.
"That's really good." Zhou Kai looked at Weng Mei Jia and said, "My mother said that the nursing profession will be very popular in the future."
Weng Mei Jia curled into a grin and smiled.
"Mei Jia said that she will go to the army to be in the military medical field. Young Kai, you have to take care of her more." Mother Weng had cut the apple and came out.
Father Weng understood what his wife was thinking.
When Young Kai was only fourteen years old, his wife had the idea of taking him as their son-in-law.
In recent years, as Young Kai grew and became more promising, his wife's mind has become more and more unconcealed.
So he felt a little helpless. It was reasonable to say that the young man wasn't bad, but his little girl was also not inferior. Whether it was career-wise or looks, she was at the top. There were a few colleagues in his workplace who were asking about her. Was there a need to be passionate?
Still, he didn't say anything. After all, he liked this young man too. His family conditions were excellent. More importantly, his parents were reasonable. If it was fated to, then it would be wonderful.
"Going to be a military medical field?" Zhou Kai looked at Weng Mei Jia in surprise, "It will be tougher."
"It's nothing. My eldest and second brothers are both over there." Weng Mei Jia glanced at him and responded.
"Time is so fast. In a blink of an eye, doll became so big." Zhou Kai emotionally remarked.
He watched this classmate's sister grow up.

ReplyDeleteHe is more mature, even though they are of the same age
Why do I feel so uncomfortable over these old ladies wanting to snatch Da Wa over as a grand/son-in-law? 😩 It just feels so wrong. Especially this Weng family. It’s like they’re grooming him. And they might really succeed. Does anyone else feel the same or is it just me? I thought that Da Wa and the other kids will grow up and with Qing He’s personality, they will just find wives of their own. Like this, it’s like they’re being preyed on. See this Weng family, since Da Wa was fourteen, they’ve been consciously adjusting their attitude, treating him well like a son so he will feel indebted and be used to their family. I mean, yeah, sure, their daughter might really be outstanding on her own, but let the kids be and if they have the heart for each other, then they will for sure get together. Not like this. When I thought Qing He really wouldn’t manage her sons’ love and marriage matters, other people manage it for her and for her son instead.
