Chapter 12 012

The grandma's house was built in the early 1980s. It is a typical old and dilapidated house nowadays, and it only has a good school district, so it is worth a little money.

What's the use of being valuable? Jiang Tao has just started working, and her grandmother doesn't have much savings. The grandfather and grandson have no conditions to change houses. This school district house that cannot be converted into cash is just an ordinary old house.

Jiang Tao has lived here since she can remember. She likes her grandma who is always in good spirits, and those warm and precious memories, and she never dislikes them at all.

But now an outsider came to the house, a blind date partner with very good financial conditions. Jiang Tao sat awkwardly on the sofa, and her gaze involuntarily swept across the wall behind the TV.Continue to the middle.It was too troublesome to redecorate. Grandma cleverly hung up a large piece of wedding photos taken by my aunt and uncle, but a small section can still be seen above and below the frame.

To the south of the living room is the kitchen. The sliding door is closed. The door is almost the same age as the house. There are some broken flowers on the glass, but it has peeled off a lot.According to grandma, 90% of those peelings were the masterpieces of her and her cousin. In the beginning, it was Jiang Tao, who was three or four years old.

Most of the tiles covering the living room are intact, but some small damage can be seen only by careful observation.

The coffee table and the sofa are all made of red solid wood, and there are places where the paint has peeled off. My aunt has always wanted to replace it with a leather sofa. Grandma doesn't want it, but she likes these old woods.

The TV cabinet is full of small photo frames, there are group photos of grandparents and grandchildren, and there are many single photos of Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao belatedly noticed that one of the photos was taken in front of Tian../Anmen, a seven-year-old elementary school student with a ponytail and a red scarf, and a bright smile.better.

The embarrassment reached its peak when she found this photo, and Jiang Tao wished to use her body to cover the cracks in the long wall for grandma.

Cao An sat in the middle of the sofa, tilting his head and chatting with his grandmother on the other side.

At this moment, Jiang Tao was just an audience.

"The young man is quite handsome, why haven't you had a girlfriend?"

"It's because you are so courageous that others are afraid of me."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. The facial features are all born. Some are beautiful and some are ugly. Some have a kind face, so there must be one with a fierce face like yours. Young people are only afraid when they have little knowledge. I have seen a lot of people at my age."

"As long as you don't mind, I was always worried about whether I would scare you on the way here."

"Then you and Xiaotao want to go together."

Only then did Cao An look at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao: "...I'll get you a glass of water."

She left the sofa stiffly, stared at grandma secretly, went to get a disposable paper cup from the cupboard, and got water from the water dispenser.

After taking most of the cup, Jiang Tao handed it to Cao An with downcast eyes.

Cao An: "Thank you."

Jiang Tao continued to be the audience.

Grandma smiled and looked at Cao An: "How long is your head? It should be more than ten centimeters away from mine."

Cao An smiled: "Inherited, you are not short, just like my grandma."

"Really, how old is your grandma and how is your body?"

"She was born in 1938. She is not as tough as you. She has been gone for more than ten years."

"Hey, it's as old as Xiaotao's grandfather, but her grandfather left earlier, and Xiaotao has never seen it before."

"Is his old man sick or an accident?"

"Unfortunately, I was drunk and rode a bicycle, and I fell by myself. Forget it, don't mention these."

"Well, I heard from Jiang Tao that she was brought up by you alone. It's not easy for you after so many years."

"It's okay, Xiaotao is quite obedient, I never have to worry about studying and taking exams, and she will take the initiative to help me with housework. She can do it at the age of seven or eight..."

Hearing this, Jiang Tao hurriedly interrupted, pretending to be unhappy and said: "Don't always mention things about my childhood."

She lied in front of Cao An, saying that she couldn't cook, and she was rejected by some blind dates because of this.

Grandma didn't know the truth, she just thought of her granddaughter as thin-skinned and shy.

Cao An directly changed the subject: "I had a chat with Jiang Tao before, we went to a high school, and I was five years older than her."

Grandma: "It means that both of you are academic masters."

Jiang Tao blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, his university is much better than mine."

Cao An: "I did well in the college entrance examination, but I couldn't pass the exam according to my usual results."

Grandma: "Okay, don't be modest, both of you, I have the lowest diploma here, and I haven't even attended high school."

Cao An: "You were different back then."

Grandma is a social expert. After seeing Cao An, she hardly stopped talking, and the chat lasted until almost ten o'clock before she knew it.

Jiang Tao had been working all day and was sleepy.

Cao An caught a glimpse of her yawning quietly, and said to the grandmother, "Let's add a WeChat account, and you can contact me whenever you have anything."

Jiang Tao: ...

Grandma has already taken out her mobile phone. It is the Apple 4s retired by Aunt Jiang Tao after buying the Apple 5. It is considered fashionable among a group of old men and old ladies, and the old lady is also very skilled in using it, including various new electrical appliances in recent years.The old lady is very quick to get started.

Grandma's WeChat nickname is "Wang Mu Niang Niang".

She leaned beside Cao An to watch him enter notes, and explained the meaning of her nickname with a smile: "The queen mother likes to grow flat peaches, and I also raised a small peach, which is just right and stylish."

Cao An: "It's a good name, and it's suitable for you to use. It's so late, you should go to rest. I'll come and talk to you when I have a chance."

He put away his mobile phone, stood up, and was instantly taller than grandma by a large margin.

Grandma pinched his arm and asked in surprise, "Do you usually exercise?"

Cao An: "I didn't go to the gym on purpose. I usually get up early and do morning exercises at home."

Grandma nodded: "It's for exercise. Our Xiaotao is just too lazy. She stays at home when she rests. She has thin arms and legs."

Jiang Tao: ...

She couldn't wait to walk ahead and help Cao An open the door.

Cao An glanced at her, lowered his eyes and changed his shoes.

Grandma didn't go to the porch, and directed Jiang Tao: "You send Cao An off, I'm going to wash my face."

Waved to Cao An again, grandma really went to the bathroom.

Jiang Tao had no choice but to change her shoes and follow outside Cao An.

His car was parked downstairs, a big black off-road vehicle, like his people.

Jiang Tao stood outside the unit door, not planning to go any further, as he would not be sent to the car door.

Cao An held the car keys in his hand and looked down at her: "Your grandma is quite bold and humorous. When I came here, I was worried that she would be like you."

Jiang Tao didn't know what to say.

Cao An: "Then I'm leaving, you can come back to me after you think about it."

Jiang Tao nodded.

Cao An unlocked the car and the lights came on, stabbing Jiang Tao over his head.

Cao An fastened his seat belt, took another look at the little nurse in front of him, reversed the car, and turned around.

Jiang Tao finished the task of seeing off the guests and went home.

Standing at the door of the bathroom, she asked depressedly to the grandma who had finished brushing her teeth and was wiping her face: "It's such a lively chat, do you like him?"

Grandma: "I like it, this is because I am old, let me be 40 or 50 years younger, if you don't want me, I want it."

Jiang Tao had nothing to say, Cao An's conditions were really good in all aspects, and there was no reason to resist changing to a woman who was not afraid of him.

After wiping off the water on her face, grandma went on to apply a mask for herself, and recommended it to her granddaughter after applying it: "The brand your aunt chose is good, and you can use it too. Don't take advantage of your youth and not cherish your skin."

After finishing speaking, grandma went to lean on the sofa and continued watching TV.

Jiang Tao quickly cleaned up her face, first brought a basin of footwashing water to her grandma, and then sat down beside her with her own.

As soon as she came, grandma turned off the TV instead and concentrated on chatting: "Xiao Cao looks a bit fierce. I can understand that you are afraid of him, but I really think he is quite good. Not to mention the family conditions, his education is comparable to yours, and his personality is also good."Okay, let’s think about your previous blind dates. There is no university better than yours. Those from prestigious universities have stayed in big cities to work hard. Of course, academic qualifications can’t explain everything, but as far as the young men I have met, their academic qualifications are average.They're all a little frivolous, they're obviously incompetent and they have a virtue that no one looks down on, if they like you, they only like your face."

Jiang Tao: "I also look at the face. If the face doesn't satisfy me, what else do I touch?"

Grandma: "Men look at faces and women look at faces. It's two different things. Women like faces first, and then people. If they have feelings, they should be serious. Men, hmph, liking your face doesn't mean being serious. Maybe you just want to sleep. Once youIf there is any trouble, people will hide far away."

Jiang Tao: "You know that Cao An is not like this?"

Grandma: "If he only wants to draw pictures of your face, he won't have the patience to chat with me."

She's just old and not confused. She can tell clearly whether the young people really take her seriously or just play it off casually.

Jiang Tao lowered her head to wash her feet.

Grandma looked around her small living room and sighed: "Grandma is also a common person, I hope you can find someone with better conditions, not to mention taking advantage of him, at least you don't have to suffer with him. Let's say your dad was poor back then.You have only face left, and you have no ability to coax your mother. You can only rent a house when you get married, and you can only entrust me to raise you after you are born. Let me tell you, this is their car accidentOtherwise, the two of them will have to divorce sooner or later."

There are no parents in Jiang Tao's memory at all, only a few pitiful photos.

My mother is as beautiful as my aunt, and my father is also tall and handsome.

But the photos can't reflect their personalities, Jiang Tao can only know a thing or two from the words of his grandmother and aunt.Of course, grandma and aunt would not speak ill of mother. At most, she would hate iron for being weak and despise her for being dazzled by love.As for Dad, an orphan who grew up in a welfare home, served as a soldier for three years, and worked as a security guard in the company where his mother worked after returning. In the eyes of the elders, he really has only one face to look at.

Jiang Tao doesn't want to comment on her parents' feelings, she only knows that she was raised by her grandmother, who has taken care of her for more than 20 years, and her grandmother expects her to live well in every aspect more than anyone else.

"I'm trying to get in touch with him again."

Grandma took off the mask, stared at her and said, "Do you really want to get in touch, or is it because of what I said? Hey, it's up to you to find a partner. In the final analysis, you have the final say. No matter how good Cao An's conditions are, as long as you don't feel it, grandmaI won't force you either. Marriage and marriage don't just depend on the conditions, you have to like it in your heart, otherwise you won't be able to live on."

Jiang Tao smiled: "I wasn't sure whether to reject him completely. Since you are satisfied, I will try again."

When she discussed with her grandma, she hoped to find someone to push her, and she could push it in any direction. It was better than being in a dilemma when making a decision.

Back in the bedroom, Jiang Tao sent a message to Cao An: Are you home yet?

Cao An: Just entered the garage.

Jiang Tao: Grandma likes you very much, so let's try again and continue to contact you on a blind date basis.

Cao An seemed to be replying, but after waiting for a while, no message came.

About two minutes later, Cao An replied: hope you are not too reluctant.

Jiang Tao: No, I don't hate you at all, but I don't guarantee that I will accept you as my boyfriend, just because I'm afraid I'll waste your time.

Cao An: I never waste time.

Jiang Tao was startled, what does this mean?

The author has something to say: Hey, 100 small red envelopes, see you tomorrow~
