Chapter 38 038

Jiang Tao's aunt's family lives in the next city, more than a hundred kilometers away, and it takes two hours to drive here.

My aunt said hello when she set off in the morning, and arrived at about ten o'clock.

Cao An first took Jiang Tao to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and ate at home at noon, which was more convenient than going to a restaurant outside, and the aunt's family could rest better.

Cao An pushed the shopping cart, and Jiang Tao walked beside him, introducing him to his relatives while choosing dishes.

"My aunt is a dentist. Our family has a wedding photo of her and my uncle. You should have the impression that she looks like grandma."

"It's kind of like you too."

"Yes, we used to go out together. Some people guessed that we were mother and daughter, and some people guessed that we were sisters. But my aunt is short, only a little taller than grandma."

After talking about the general situation of his aunt, Jiang Tao began to talk about his little uncle.

"He is a policeman, he is quite tall, and he is very easy-going when he smiles, but he looks a little more serious when he is not smiling."

"How did he meet my aunt?"

"My little uncle and aunt got married in our city. His aunt went to the hospital with a toothache. It happened that my aunt came to see the doctor. After meeting him a few times, we fell in love and became a middleman."

"Are they also on a blind date?"

"It's not counted, just met once, my uncle was called back by the bureau before the meal was finished. My aunt was not very satisfied with him being in a foreign city, and felt that it would be inconvenient to take care of grandma in the future after marrying. When this happened again, my aunt saidI refused the call, and I didn't want to see you again. But my uncle likes my aunt very much, and he drove here as soon as he was on vacation, and my aunt finally agreed."

Cao An: "It's a bit like us."

Jiang Tao picked up an almost perfect fresh tomato, and whispered: "It's not like that, little uncle relies on sincerity, and you rely on routines."

He agreed to pick her up and keep a distance for a week, but he continued to chase her after a week because he "did not promise to never see her again".

Of course, Cao An is also very sincere, but he really used a lot of small tricks secretly in the early stage.

Cao An also took a tomato, and put it next to her face for comparison: "There is no way, I am not as decent as my little uncle, so I can only take advantage of it."

Jiang Tao snatched the tomato from his hand.

If Cao An's mention of her fierce face was just an objective statement of the facts, then she began to be suspected of deliberately selling misery a few times later, and she couldn't bear to be as decisive as rejecting other blind date men.

After buying a bunch of delicious food, Jiang Tao rushes to pay when queuing up to check out.

At the beginning of ten o'clock, my aunt arrived. Cao An had already contacted the guard booth, and my aunt drove directly to the underground garage. The two parking spaces next to Cao An's jeep were also his.

Grandma stayed on it, and the two young men went to the garage to pick them up.

Uncle Meng Dongteng drove around and saw his niece and her boyfriend by the driveway ahead.

He squinted his eyes, good guy, this Cao An himself is even more like a law-abiding citizen than the photo sent by his mother-in-law!

"It's too strong!"

Jiang Tao's cousin Meng Rui, who was sitting in the back row, stretched his neck and stared intently at the tall man who was getting closer.

Zhu Yuan insisted on seeing her niece's smile, and angrily warned the father and son: "Be promising, don't embarrass Taotao."

Jiang Tao has many nicknames. Grandma likes to call her "Xiaotao", aunt likes to call her "Taotao", and some classmates and colleagues call her "Taozi", anyway, they are all peaches.

The white Audi slowly stopped beside the black Jeep.

"Auntie."

Jiang Tao, who had been acting fairly calm since her home was flooded, silently blushed when she walked towards her aunt.

No matter how old or dilapidated the house is her home, no matter how nice and enthusiastic her boyfriend is, if she has a choice, Jiang Tao would rather live in her own place.

She couldn't show such negative emotions in front of her grandmother, and Jiang Tao couldn't suppress it when she saw her aunt who was closer to the role of "mother".

Zhu Yuan hugged her niece distressedly.

She married Meng Dongteng at the age of twenty-five, when her niece was six years old, that is to say, she also participated in the upbringing and care of her niece for the first six years. In Zhu Yuan's heart, Jiang Tao was both her niece and her daughter.

"It's okay, it's okay, the big deal is to redecorate. In fact, I have long thought that the old house is not pleasing to the eye. I don't feel bad at all when it is soaked in water."

Zhu Yuan deliberately joked.

Meng Rui: "If you have the ability, you can say that in front of grandma."

Zhu Yuan glared at her son.

Jiang Tao smiled through tears, wiped her eyes, and introduced Cao An to her aunt's family.

Meng Dongteng and seventeen-year-old Meng Rui are both about 1.8 meters tall, so Zhu Yuan had to look up at Cao An and said with a smile, "I hear grandma praise you every day. Thank you so much for this incident. TimA lot of trouble, right?"

Cao An: "It's all what I should do, don't be so polite."

Meng Dongteng twitched at the corner of his mouth, and took the initiative to hold Cao An's right hand: "You should be polite. This time, I owe you a big favor. If you need help in the future, just say it."

Meng Rui: "Dad, if you can't speak, don't open your mouth. Brother Cao is such a big man, what do you need the help of the police uncle? Including my mother and cousin, the jobs of the three of you are not suitable for talking like this."

Meng Dongteng poked his son's head with his finger: "A bunch of nonsense!"

Cao An smiled: "Let's go up, grandma is still waiting."

He walked in front with the Meng family father and son, and Jiang Tao held his aunt's hand intimately.

Zhu Yuan whispered in her niece's ear, "I never noticed before that you are so bold to have such a boyfriend."

Jiang Tao glanced at Cao An, and clarified for him: "He just looks fierce, but he is a nice person."

Zhu Yuan: "I know, grandma said it, but most people will be frightened by his face, and have no chance to understand him at all."

When the elevator arrived, Cao An looked behind him.

Zhu Yuan handed over a particularly kind smile, but it was too kind and unnatural.

As a policeman, Meng Dongteng has dealt with all kinds of people. He is not afraid of Cao An. After entering the elevator, he naturally chatted with Cao An, asked about Cao An's university, what he usually does at work, and so on.

Meng Rui broke the stage: "Dad, you should shut up, the more you talk, the more it looks like you are recording a statement."

Meng Dongteng: ...

Zhu Yuan pinched her son from behind: "Don't talk about unnecessary things. Cao An is a college student in a prestigious school. You should take this opportunity to ask him about his learning experience and improve your grades in the last year."

Meng Rui covered her ears: "Cousin, help me, I managed to leave it for the weekend!"

Talking and laughing, the sixteenth floor has arrived.

When Jiang Tao's family got together, the chat became even more lively. Cao An cut some fruit and brought it over, and sat on the side to accompany the guests.

Jiang Tao was a little afraid that he would be left out, so he was still at his own home.

Fortunately, Meng Rui is skinny, so he took Cao An to the fitness corner and asked Cao An to teach him how to use the treadmill and sit-up board.

While chatting and chatting, it was time to cook. Grandma and auntie rushed to cook. Cao An asked them to rest and he came.

Jiang Tao: "Let's go together."

The two young men went to the kitchen.

Cao An cuts the meat, Jiangtao washes the vegetables.

Cao An glanced at his girlfriend and said in a low voice, "You seem very nervous."

Jiang Tao: "It's okay, it's just that your side is usually quiet and quiet, so there are so many people coming all at once, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

Cao An: "I'm used to it. There are more relatives in our family. We will see each other in the future. You have to be mentally prepared."

Jiang Tao: ...

Other men kept saying sweet things to their girlfriends, but Cao An didn't say those things, but there would always be a sentence or two that hinted that the two were destined to get married.

The low and deep voice was not confident and inevitable, but more like expressing his liking for her in a subtle way.

Because like it, will make long-term plans and arrangements.

Jiang Tao had to give some response, otherwise it seemed like he had acquiesced.

She drooped her eyelashes, and said in a tone confronting him: "It's not necessary to see each other, who knows what will happen in the future."

Cao An smiled and stopped teasing her.

There are a lot of dishes, and the grandmother, aunt, and uncle in the middle replaced two young people.

Meng Rui sat on the sofa, and while the elders were talking, he swiped his phone while listening to them. When Jiang Tao and Cao An came over, Meng Rui threw the phone aside and began to interview curiously: "Brother Cao, how much money do you have?"Abs? 6 or 8?"

Jiang Tao hadn't sat down on the sofa yet, and when she heard this, she immediately stood up and went to the bedroom.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared that Cao An looked at the high school student: "You want to practice too?"

Meng Rui: "If you don't practice now, try again when you are in college. Is it easy to practice?"

Cao An: "It's okay, you just have to persevere, otherwise it will disappear after a while after practicing."

Meng Rui: "Then how much money do you have?"

Cao An compared a number with gestures.

Meng Rui's eyes lit up.

Cao An reminded him again: "Don't discuss this in front of girls, it will appear disrespectful."

Meng Rui came to his senses and said with a smile, "My cousin doesn't think of me as a boy, she only thinks of me as a child."

Cao An pointed to himself.

Meng Rui blinked and grinned with white teeth: "Understood, keep working hard!"

He thought that his cousin and Brother Cao had already reached a certain degree of intimacy, but now he knew that Brother Cao didn't even have the chance to show his cousin his abs!

After lunch, Zhu Yuan's family of three wanted to accompany grandma to visit the Heping Community, mainly to help clean up.

Cao An was also going, and stopped Jiang Tao who wanted to go with him at the door: "You have a night shift at night, so go to sleep in the afternoon."

Meng Dongteng: "That's right, Taotao has a good rest, there are quite a few of us, we don't need you."

Jiang Tao stayed.

Cao An drove the grandmother and the four of them there.

When they arrived at the place, Meng Dongteng and Zhu Yuan realized that there was nothing in the house that they needed to bother to clean up. Cao An had already taken away all the things they wanted to take away, and the remaining old furniture would not be used again. They were just waiting for the decorator to take it away.deal with.

Grandma: "Xiao Cao was busy all day yesterday."

Meng Dongteng patted Cao An on the shoulder, it is really reliable that his boyfriend can do this.

At first he heard that the Cao family was very rich, and he was worried that his niece would meet a playboy. After observing it today, he found that Cao An is a pragmatic and responsible person.

Zhu Yuan accompanied her grandmother to pick and choose in the house to see if there was anything left behind. When she was alone in the little old lady's bedroom, Zhu Yuan closed the door and discussed in a low voice: "Mom, this house must be redecorated.Once the decoration is completed, it will take at least two months of work, plus the smell, three months is considered early to move in. It doesn't matter if young people fall in love and live together, you stay there all the time, like a light bulb, you yourselfIt's all awkward, why don't you go back with us, and come back after the decoration here is completed."

Grandma joked: "Will I not be a light bulb when I go to your place?"

Zhu Yuan scoffed: "Your son-in-law is so busy, I wish my mother-in-law would go and spend more time with me, lest I always find fault with him."

Grandma also agrees with her daughter's approach. The son-in-law is a family anyway, and Cao An has not yet become a full-time employee.

"when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning, Xiaotao will meet after get off work and then set off."

After seeing the old house, Zhu Yuan's family went to a hotel near the Emerald Garden and booked two rooms. My aunt wanted to take a nap, so she asked Cao An to take her grandma home first, and they would come back around five o'clock.

After returning to 1601, Cao An persuaded his grandmother to go to sleep for a while, and he went to the study.

It's a very quiet afternoon.

Jiang Tao set the alarm clock for five o'clock, woke up and went out, passed by the door of grandma's bedroom, and found that her aunt was helping grandma pack the suitcase.

Zhu Yuan greeted with a smile: "Taotao is awake, I just wanted to tell you something."

Jiang Tao looked at the suitcase, and actually guessed it.

Although she was nervous about living alone with Cao An, Jiang Tao knew that grandma would be more comfortable living with her aunt.

When the five of them sat in the restaurant for dinner, they talked about the decoration of the old house.

Grandma said to Jiang Tao: "I don't understand these things, how do you like to pretend, and discuss with Xiao Cao if you don't understand."

Cao An: "I'll make the design first, and when I'm done, I'll send it to you for a look. You still have to like it."

Meng Rui was particularly impressed: "Cousin, you really have vision, Brother Cao is simply an all-rounder!"

Jiang Tao kicked him from below.

Meng Rui was so wronged that she wanted to sue Brother Cao, her cousin was not as sweet and soft as she was in front of her boyfriend!

At seven o'clock in the evening, my aunt's family went for a walk with grandma by the lake, and Cao An went to send Jiangtao to work.

Cao An glanced at his girlfriend who was unusually quiet in the co-pilot seat, and said, "Actually, even if grandma wants to live with my aunt, there is no need to be so anxious. I will go there after the final design is finalized, so I don't have to worry about it later."

Jiang Tao: "Auntie and the others are all here, and they just happened to go back together, otherwise there would be an extra trip."

Cao An: "It doesn't matter, we will send her there after grandma has lived here enough."

Jiang Tao touched the phone: "You don't want grandma to leave so much, you tell her."

Cao An: "I persuaded her this afternoon, but she didn't listen to me. If you persuade me again, it might work."

Jiang Tao glanced at him: "You really think so?"

At the red light ahead, Cao An parked the car, looked at his girlfriend and said, "Really, unless you have other plans."

Jiang Tao: ...

She has none of it!
