Chapter 384 Aunt's First Impression
In Jiang Ting's eyes, Zhou Yuwen is the most outstanding boy she has ever seen. He is mature, stable, and full of talent. He not only wrote novels and made them into TV dramas, but also opened the largest Internet cafe in the university town after seeing the location of the shanty town. , Jiang Ting is confident, she believes in her own vision, and even more in her boyfriend.
She introduced her boyfriend to her aunt with a little pride, but Jiang Qian didn't seem to have much fluctuation after hearing it. Maybe for Jiang Qian, these were just small troubles.
The scenery next to Taihu Lake is very good. There are large and small islands in it that are contracted by some rich people to be vacation resorts or private manors. Jiang Qian asked Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Ting to follow her into the car, and then ordered the driver to drive, saying that this time Zhou Yuwen was rare. Come here, let Zhou Yuwen try the authentic Subang cuisine.
Zhou Yuwen smiled and said that it would be troublesome for my sister-in-law.
Zhou Yuwen's eyes were filled with confidence, neither humble nor overbearing, which was fundamentally different from the adolescent boys Jiang Qian had seen before, and it was no wonder that Jiang Ting, who was much better than her peers, fell in love with such a girl.
In a daze, Jiang Qian saw the shadow of Song Baizhou from Zhou Yuwen's body, but she still didn't want to believe that there would be two people so similar in the world.
Jiang Qian said: "Listen to my sister, are your parents divorced?"
Jiang Ting felt that her aunt's words were a bit abrupt, but Zhou Yuwen nodded indifferently: "Yes, I was divorced when I was very young."
Jiang Qian asked again: "Then what does your father do?"
Zhou Yuwen smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he is no longer alive."
"?" It was the first time Jiang Qian heard someone talk about her father like that, and she was a little confused for a while. It was only after Zhou Yuwen explained that she realized that Zhou Yuwen had never seen her father since she was a child.
Jiang Qian also knew very little about Song Baizhou. When she met Song Baizhou, Jiang Qian was only 17 years old. At that time, Jiang Qian was studying in Xiangjiang.
By chance, I met Song Baizhou. At that time, Song Baizhou had already had a successful career and began to extend his tentacles to the Xiangjiang area.
Song Baizhou is mature and steady, possessing everything that a successful man should have. Jiang Qian, who was still a young girl in Huaichun, has been completely immersed in Song Baizhou not long after she met him and cannot extricate herself.
It's a pity that Song Baizhou is not as sentimental as Zhou Yuwen. In Song Baizhou's eyes, power and money are the end of a man's pursuit. As for women, they are just companions. Song Baizhou always believes that the beauty of women around him is also the same as that of men. Therefore, after many years in business, Song Baizhou had many beautiful girls around him, but none of them could successfully stay by Song Baizhou's side.
Song Baizhou never thinks ridiculously that if he sleeps with a woman, he should be responsible for her. In Song Baizhou's view, sleeping with any woman is the same, so he must find a woman who can help him.
So Song Baizhou got along with Jiang Qian, but at that time Song Baizhou was busy with his career, and Jiang Qian was a student, and nothing happened between the two of them. Even so, Jiang Qian also tried to save Song Baizhou and cried several times.
Looking back now, Jiang Qian thinks it is quite naive. Since Song Baizhou, Jiang Qian has never thought about falling in love, let alone getting married. When she met Zhou Yuwen here today, Jiang Qian's heart was a little fluctuated.
The commercial vehicle has a lot of space and the seats are very comfortable. Jiang Qian leaned on the armchair, recalling all the things she had with Song Baizhou in the past, and she was a little absent-minded for a while.
She tilted her head and saw Jiang Ting and Zhou Yuwen sitting in the back row through the mirror. Jiang Ting was acting like a little girl in love at the moment, lying on Zhou Yuwen's body and letting Zhou Yuwen look at the scenery outside the window.
And Zhou Yuwen's behavior at this time was really similar to Song Baizhou's. He just smiled flatly, followed Jiang Ting's words and nodded slightly without expressing his opinion.
At noon, Jiang Qian took Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Ting to a private restaurant of a friend's house. There are many such private dishes in Suzhou, and they are usually hidden in private houses in deep alleys. From the outside, it is a private house with black tiles and white walls. It's been a long time, and it looks a little dilapidated.
Going further inside, the car can't get in, so I can only walk.
Jiang Ting walked in front carrying a sachet, and Jiang Ting walked behind holding Zhou Yuwen's hand. Seeing Jiang Qian walking on the bluestone road in high-heeled shoes, Zhou Yuwen felt that she must be very tired, so she asked how long she would have to walk?
Jiang Ting took Zhou Yuwen's arm and said with a smile that she would be there in a while. She asked, "Are you afraid of getting lost?"
"Huh?" Zhou Yuwen was curious.
Jiang Ting smiled and said, "The old city here feels like a maze. People who are not familiar with the roads can't get out. You have to hold my hand so that you won't get lost."
Zhou Yuwen just smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything.
Jiang Qian said, "It's just ahead, and we'll be there after a short walk."
Zhou Yuwen was curious: "There are restaurants in this kind of place? Otherwise, just go and eat at one."
Jiang Qian didn't answer, she walked in front, while Jiang Ting took Zhou Yuwen's hand and walked behind, telling Zhou Yuwen to just follow her sister-in-law.
Zhou Yuwen had no choice but to let Jiang Ting pull her.
The three of them walked down an alley, turned a corner, entered a narrower alley, and finally opened the door in front of a private house. It was blocked by a stone wall, and a bonsai-planted welcoming pine was planted in front of it. It is quite meaningful, the landscaping must be carefully selected, echoing the mountain stones carved on the stone wall.
Walking around the stone wall, I feel suddenly enlightened. There are green bamboos planted in the corner, and a small lake has been dug out in the yard, and a stone bridge is built on the lake with nine curves.
In short, the entire private garden is exquisitely and ingeniously constructed, which is very different from the residential houses full of life outside.
"Boss Hong." Jiang Qian called out to the fat man who was fishing over there with a smile.
The fat man looked up and saw Jiang Qian, and immediately asked with a smile: "Why is the big beauty coming to me when you have time?"
Said that he lost the fishing rod and went to meet him.
Jiang Qian exchanged a few words with the boss, and then said that her niece brought her boyfriend over, and then came to your house for dinner.
After hearing Jiang Qian's words, the boss tilted his head to look at Jiang Ting, and was quite surprised to see Zhou Yuwen at last.
Jiang Ting called Uncle Hong very politely.
Boss Hong nodded kindly, and finally looked at Zhou Yuwen. To be honest, Boss Hong didn't think highly of Zhou Yuwen. He always felt that Zhou Yuwen was too ordinary. He didn't have the temperament of a family member on his face, but he didn't look like an ordinary person either. To understand, Boss Hong couldn't see through.
But thinking of such an excellent girl like Jiang Ting finding such an ordinary boy, Boss Hong couldn't help feeling sorry. He wanted to see Jiang Qian's attitude.
Jiang Qian said, "This time, Boss Hong will cook for me."
Boss Hong grinned: "It's easy to say, Miss Jiang will come here in person, and I will entertain you well no matter what."
Then, he brought Jiang Qian and Zhou Yuwen and the three of them said to do it in the room.
Then the three of them were brought to the second floor of the pavilion. The view was very good. You could see the whole courtyard when you opened the window. Only a small piece.
Jiang Ting smiled and explained to Zhou Yuwen the structure of this small courtyard and what kind of cultural background it had, and Jiang Qian made tea there.
The dishes here are cooked by Boss Hong alone. At most, he hired someone to help the cook, so the food was served very slowly. Jiang Qian brought Zhou Yuwen over for dinner. Find out about your son-in-law.
First, they asked Zhou Yuwen what he did, how old he was, and where he was from.
Zhou Yuwen told the truth, Xuhuai people, alas, in fact, most of the older generation in southern Jiangsu are very xenophobic and don't want their children to find a foreigner.
Jiang Qian didn't think there was anything wrong, and made tea over there with a serious face.
Three majors.
Jiang Qian smiled wryly in her heart. It seemed that her niece and Zhou Yuwen had a long way to go. Their family was a scholarly family, and she was rebellious since she was a child, otherwise she would not have gone to Xiangjiang to study.
But Jiang Qian's elder brother, that is, Jiang Ting's father, is old and stubborn, and he is very fancy about academic qualifications. Jiang Ting's mother is also a dignified lady.
In short, Jiang Qian felt that the relationship between the two probably had a long way to go.
All kinds of private dishes were brought up. Boss Hong had nothing to do, so he wanted to come over and chat with him. By the way, he wanted to see what kind of boy the daughter of the Jiang family found.
But Jiang Qian said with a smile, Boss Hong, this is a family gathering, so it might be inconvenient for you to come here, right?
Boss Hong smiled awkwardly and went out.
The dishes are really good. After all, they are private dishes. Some dishes are common in Suzhou, such as squirrel mandarin fish, but the taste is indeed different.
Although Zhou Yuwen has been a human being in two lifetimes, he is used to being free and lazy. When he saw that the dishes were delicious, he ate two more bites. It was just that there were too many rules, and he had to use serving chopsticks, which was too formal. Zhou Yuwen didn't know whether he should eat or not. say.
Until Jiang Qian looked over there and giggled and said: "You don't have to be so cautious with me, but if you go to my elder brother's house in the future, you will talk about these etiquettes."
"En." Zhou Yuwen replied, seemingly not paying attention.
Jiang Ting gave Zhou Yuwen some food, saying that the squirrel mandarin fish here is one of the best in Suzhou, and asked Zhou Yuwen to taste it.
Jiang Qian already felt that her niece cared too much for Zhou Yuwen, but Zhou Yuwen didn't seem to care at all.
For a moment, Jiang Qian was a little worried that her niece would go her own way and be cheated by a scumbag.
But judging from Zhou Yuwen's age, how could he be so mature.
It stands to reason that an eighteen-year-old boy should at least shudder when he sees his own appearance, right? However, Zhou Yuwen turned a blind eye to it calmly.
"Are you two in a relationship now?" Jiang Qian asked Zhou Yuwen knowingly.
Jiang Ting blushed and didn't speak over there. Seeing that Jiang Qian was talking to herself, Zhou Yuwen nodded and said, "Yes."
"Are you planning to get married in the future?" Jiang Qian asked suddenly.
"Sister~" Jiang Ting couldn't help calling Jiang Qian, feeling that sister was trying to force Zhou Yuwen, Jiang Ting was really afraid that Zhou Yuwen would be scared away.
But Jiang Qian just looked at Zhou Yuwen with a smile.
While eating, Zhou Yuwen smiled indifferently and said, "Isn't it too early to say this?"
"morning?"
"Yeah, Jiang Ting and I are still young, and what will happen in the future is not certain, and even if I want to marry Jiang Ting, sister-in-law, will you agree?" When Zhou Yuwen said this, he looked at Jiang Qian with some amusement.
Jiang Qian followed suit with a smile, and she said: "I don't care, the main reason is that my brother and sister-in-law are not easy to fool around. I mean, if you want to marry Jiang Ting, you have to take your time. Your little performance, give us a fortune." The door-to-door son-in-law can be considered."
Zhou Yuwen chuckled and said, I don't want to be the son-in-law.
Then I took a sip of the Jiuniang Yuanzi. The Jiuniang Yuanzi turned out to be cold and very comfortable to eat. It is said that after it is cooked, it is wrapped in an ice pack to absorb heat. This will not affect the taste, and the taste is better. It is sweet and icy Yes, it is most comfortable when eating in July and August.
Jiang Qian asked Zhou Yuwen several questions, and Zhou Yuwen's answers were neither salty nor bland. Zhou Yuwen didn't even have the drive of a young man. Jiang Qian thought, at least this young man should give himself a guarantee, which is not always the case. Well, the boy held the girl's hand and vowed to the parents that he would make his daughter happy.
What Zhou Yuwen meant was, can we just have a romantic relationship? It is not certain whether it will be successful in the future.
Fortunately, it was Jiang Qian who came here this time. If it was Jiang Ting's mother, she would have raised her eyebrows coldly when she heard this, and asked directly: "Then you want to play with my daughter's feelings?"
Fortunately, Jiang Qian was not so pedantic. She just looked at Jiang Ting's look of being in love, and she knew that her niece had been deeply poisoned, and it was not a bad thing.
It's like Jiang Qian doesn't think it's a bad thing to have a relationship with Song Baizhou now. A good woman can make a man grow. Similarly, a good man can make a woman grow, as long as Jiang Ting likes it.
Next, Jiang Qian asked Zhou Yuwen some questions on the sidelines. She felt that Zhou Yuwen's family was quite ordinary, too ordinary. It was just an ordinary single-parent family. They just made some money after going to college. , giving people the feeling of being neither humble nor overbearing.
His conversational knowledge is not like that of his age, and he can chat a little bit about various aspects, and occasionally there is a little humor. At first, the two were not familiar with each other, and they talked little.
After the conversation started, Jiang Qian found that with a few words, Zhou Yuwen could control her own laughter, which made Jiang Qian feel that Zhou Yuwen was hiding something.
Jiang Ting's temperament is a bit hopeful that her husband will become a dragon. Taking advantage of her rich aunt's presence, Jiang Ting told her aunt that she and Zhou Yuwen are planning to do a takeaway project recently.
"What kind of project?" Jiang Qian became interested and asked curiously.
Jiang Ting immediately began to chat endlessly. What she is talking about now is the same problem that Zhou Yuwen and her have talked about. It is nothing more than combining existing resources to build a food delivery platform, which can not only provide students with part-time jobs, but also And it can also effectively solve the casual position of the stalls in the university city.
Jiang Ting feels that this project kills many birds with one stone, not only that, it can also improve Zhou Yuwen's reputation, so why not do it?
