How can one not feel happy when seeing a room full of brand new furniture and decorations

Daughter Wulan has worked hard for half her life. Now her life is finally getting better. Grandma is smiling:

“Okay, okay!”

"Tan Tan," she sighed at this moment, "You said on the way that you wanted to build your career first and then find a partner. Now it makes sense - you can build such a big house, but if your partner can't afford it, won't your life get worse and worse? It really won't work."

Song Tan: …

Grandma, if you had said so earlier, why would she have to talk nonsense

However, Song Tan's melancholy didn't last long, because when grandma opened the door, she saw Zhang Yanping, now a dark, tall and strong man, standing at the door. When he saw her, he smiled with his big white teeth:

"Grandma, I chose the mattress for you. Is it suitable?"

"It fits, it's hard, your grandpa and I like it this way. Oh, my grandson is so thoughtful..."

Grandma was also smiling: "But Yanping! What's wrong with you? Qiaoqiao went over for the Dragon Boat Festival, didn't you say you wouldn't work? How come you are so tanned?"

Zhang Yanping: …There’s no need to let everyone know that he doesn’t work.

However, she asked such a heart-wrenching question right away, even though she is my grandmother.

He also felt wronged:

"I don't know either!"

If you want to talk about sunbathing, then of course he did. But the question is, who in the family doesn't sunbathe? Why is he the only one who is so dark

I still remember when I first came here, my skin was fair and soft, but a little chubby, and I had a very friendly smile. My old classmates all said that I was born to be a businessman.

Now, his face turned black, his fists were clenched, and he looked like someone going out to collect debts. It was so scary.

Yan Ping felt wronged.

Fortunately, grandma soon ignored his appearance.

After all, in the eyes of elderly people who have experienced the world, being a little darker and stronger is at most unsightly, and it does not affect their dressing and eating.

So she asked again: "Yan Ping, you are not young anymore, almost 30, right? Why haven't you found a partner yet?"

Zhang Yanping:?!

!

Song Tan:!

!

She was cheered up and thought to herself, Brother Yanping, Brother Yanping, it wasn't me who sacrificed you first, you really bumped into me, it has nothing to do with me, Tan Tanzi.

Sure enough, Zhang Yanping also looked devastated.

But fortunately, adults have experienced this situation before, so he quickly laughed again:

"It's okay, grandma. For a young man like me, I have to think carefully about dating. I have to build a career first and then start a family, right?"

Grandma bluntly criticized him: "Yan Ping, you are a grown man, you can't always think so highly of yourself - you are not a scientist, you are contributing to the country every minute and every second, can getting married hinder your career? If you are not married, don't you have any career?"

Zhang Yanping: …

Grandma, you can kill your grandson but not humiliate him!

He said angrily: "I pay taxes to the country, so how can I not be contributing to the country's development?"

Ah this.

Song Tan was a little embarrassed: "Brother Yan Ping, your salary of more than 2,000 yuan is not enough to pay taxes."

Zhang Yanping: …

He said bitterly: "Then how come my job is not a career? I work as a salesperson and customer service representative for Tan Tan, I can do multiple things at the same time!"

"Are you so capable?"

Grandma was a little surprised, but...

"Don't salespeople carry their phones and computers everywhere they go? Why didn't you go back to your hometown for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

That's right, Wu Lei didn't go back to the Dragon Boat Festival family gathering, nor did Zhang Yanping. Wu Ling, who was in college, didn't go back either. Grandma was still a little disappointed, so she asked about it now.

Zhang Yanping sighed:

"Grandma, you have to talk to my mom about this. She insisted that I go back to take the civil service exam! I don't like being a civil servant. My mom always urges me to sign up for classes or go to training courses whenever we meet. I really don't dare to meet her..."

Grandma frowned and said, "Your mother is just imagining things. Can you become a civil servant just because you want to? You look so fierce. Fortunately, it's now. In ancient times, officials couldn't be like this."

Zhang Yanping: …

I see. Grandsons really have no status, right

His face instantly turned bitter, and his dark face looked even more ferocious.

Grandpa was listening to the increasingly outrageous words, and quickly tugged at the old woman's clothes: "What are you talking about!"

Grandma finally reacted and quickly said, "But civil servants don't make much money. You don't have a partner yet, so you can do this. It's not appropriate for you to support your family and have to rely on your parents for financial support."

"Is it?"

Zhang Yanping finally found a soulmate: "My mother insists that a stable job is good, but how much does a stable job pay per month? I really don't like it."

Grandma is old, what is there that she can’t accept

Now she smiled and comforted him: "Your mother is obsessed. When she was young, her best friend graduated from high school and went straight to work as a company employee. Your mother had to work for others and was almost deceived into doing some pyramid scheme... Since then, she has felt that a stable job is better."

"You young people nowadays all have your own ideas. Go back and talk to your mother about it and just live a good life."

Zhang Yanping was finally smiling:

"Grandma, you are still open-minded!"

Grandma nodded: "Of course not!"

"But Yanping, you're not taking the civil service exam, so your job at Tantan is definitely secure. So when are you going to find a partner?"

Zhang Yanping: ...Mobius, infinite loop, right

He choked and said, "I haven't met the right one, nor have I met anyone I like."

"What do you think is suitable and what do you like?"

Grandma asked very seriously: "You are almost right. I will find out for you later."

"Look at you guys, young people nowadays are all talking about being single - is it so hard to find a partner?"

Zhang Yanping laughed and said, "Grandma, it's hard to find a partner, but the most important thing is that being single is very happy, so don't worry about it."

He quickly pushed the little old lady around, and then pushed her into the living room with his grandfather.

Over there, Qiao Qiao has already cut the watermelon and is waiting obediently!

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Qiao Qiao, grandma instantly forgot the previous topic: "Look at our Qiao Qiao, how fair and well-behaved!"

"Yan Ping, I remember that when you were fair-skinned, you looked soft and kind. I told your mother that you would definitely be liked by other girls in the future. But now your face seems to be getting harder and harder, and you look so fierce no matter how you look at it..."

Zhang Yanping is already numb.

Just, the dark face, the unattainable stable job, and the feeling of failure of being single... He can't escape any of them today, right

Qiao Qiao thought about it and said seriously, "Grandma, don't worry. My sister said that Brother Yan Ping is so dark and strong. He looks very good at fighting and can endure hardships. He looks very hardworking. He will definitely deceive others."
