Chapter 195: Wealthy Girlfriend Meets the Whole Family

The next day at noon, the sun was shining brightly.

The two of them checked out of the hotel and after a bumpy journey finally arrived in Jizhou. They then parted ways on Pinghu Street to return to their respective homes.

However, before getting off, Guo Zihang felt a bit conflicted, his face all scrunched up.

“I’m definitely going to get scolded when I get home. It’s all the fault of that dragon yesterday.”

When Jiang Qin heard this, he laughed, “Just tell your mom the truth. You were supposed to come back yesterday afternoon but on the way you were entangled by a dragon wearing a qipao. You struggled all night to escape back to Jizhou. Maybe your mom will spare your life.”

Guo Zihang responded expressionlessly with a chuckle, “I’m just curious Bro Jiang, your mom is going to let the dog live in your room but you’re not scared at all?”

“Because I brought back a little treasure to make my parents happy.” Jiang Qin patted his Learning Star trophy.

Guo Zihang immediately understood and felt a bit envious, “If I knew, I would have bought one yesterday too. Do you think there’s still time to go to the small commodity city?”

“?”

Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows and spat at him, “Mine was given by the school, a proper major award across the whole school. If you can’t say anything proper then shut up.”

Guo Zihang didn’t care if it was real or fake, he just wanted an excuse, “Bro Jiang, what should I do to not get scolded?”

“You don’t have a trophy. Unless you bring a daughter-in-law home for New Year’s, otherwise it’s useless.”

“Then you bring Feng Nanshu back home. Can I borrow this trophy?”

“Scram. Just seeing you pisses me off.”

Jiang Qin stepped on the gas and drove out of Pinghu Street. Even when he arrived at his doorstep, he was still trembling from that sentence about “bringing Feng Nanshu home”.

Since it was a workday, his parents hadn’t gotten off work yet. He lifted the doormat, found the key and opened the door.

The familiar environment, the familiar smell. When a wanderer returns home, they can always get a full sense of healing in this moment.

Jiang Qin threw his backpack on the sofa. He took the Learning Star trophy and swayed it around the house. Finally, he placed it on the dining table, tilting the base with the words facing west at a 52 degree angle, directly facing the door.

“Mm, this position is very good.”

Jiang Qin opened the door to enter the hallway, then opened the door from the hallway to return home. Indeed, with one glance you could see the trophy and the words on it. He immediately felt very satisfied.

Finding conspicuous places everywhere to display trophies, letting mom and dad “accidentally” see them, this was quite childish for college students, but just right for 38-year-old adults.

With this thing, the treatment he and Guo Zihang received upon returning home would definitely be different.

For dinner, there should be at least six dishes, maybe even a soup.

Jiang Qin turned and returned to the bedroom. He tidied up here and there, then laid down on his familiar little bed. A sense of comfort immediately rushed from his feet to his head.

“A gold nest, a silver nest, they really can’t compare to your own dog nest.”

He sighed with admiration, casually pulling over a cord to charge his phone. His gaze swept over the cold little cutie on the screen and unconsciously paused for a while.

Feng Nanshu had gone back yesterday morning and arrived in Jizhou by noon. In between, she sent him many messages asking when he was coming back and when they were going for a walk.

But Jiang Qin’s phone had died once in the middle and he didn’t see a single one.

The old version of mobile QQ required manual login every time to receive messages, completely different from those coquettish goods in later generations that dared to secretly run in the background.

Perhaps seeing that Jiang Qin didn’t respond, she later sent a lot of messages talking to herself, mainly being a bit silly.

“Jiang Qin, I went to eat.”

“Jiang Qin, I’m reading in the library.”

“Jiang Qin, I finished reading. It’s getting dark.”

“Jiang Qin, I’m home. Waking up at 7 tomorrow.”

“Jiang Qin, I’m awake.”

“…”

Anyway, no matter if the little rich girl changed places or did something different, she would send a string of report messages to him, as if what she was doing was just incidental and what she was really doing was waiting for him to find her.

After reading the messages, Jiang Qin reached out and sent a message back to her.

“Something came up yesterday so I couldn’t return to Jizhou. Had to stay overnight in Linchuan. Phone died in the middle. Just got home to rest. We’ll go out another day.”

“…”

Jiang Qin waited for a reply. The more he waited the sleepier he got. Originally planning to just rest his eyes for a bit, when he opened them again, the sky outside the window had already begun to darken.

Happy chatter seemed to continuously drift in from the living room. Listening, there were quite a few people.

Jiang Qin got out of bed, casually tidying his messy hair. He pushed open the door and came to the living room, discovering Uncle Yuan Youfeng sitting on the sofa. Beside him were his cousin and younger cousins, and Aunt Yuan Youmei and Aunt Yuan Youlan who were munching on sunflower seeds.

The group of people were chatting in the living room. The TV was playing “Country Love 2”. The coffee table had the trophy he originally placed on the dining table.

No need to ask, this trophy had definitely been admired by the whole family.

“Oh, our family’s study star is awake?”

“Good job college student. Going out to study for half a year and bringing back a trophy. Your mom is thrilled. Says she’s going to make you pork ribs tonight.”

“Right Jiang Qin, I heard getting awards in college comes with prize money. Is that true?”

“Big bro, you’re too vulgar. Money or not isn’t important. The important thing is the honor Jiang Qin obtained!”

“Right, right, your aunt is correct. The honor is important!”

Jiang Qin smiled humbly, listening to the flattery from his uncle, aunt, and other aunt. For some reason he felt a bit guilty.

Strange. This award was obtained with my own ability, not bought from the small commodity city. Why do I feel so guilty?

He scratched his hair and quickly left the living room, turning to the kitchen, “Mom, where’s dad? Not off work yet?”

Yuan Youqin was currently frying dishes in the kitchen, “He went to buy alcohol. You’re awake?”

“I’m up. Why did uncle and my aunts all come?”

“Hearing you’re on break, they came to see if you got fat or thin. You came at a good time. Take the fried dishes to the dining table.”

Jiang Qin carried the dishes out of the kitchen, just happening to run into Jiang Zhenghong who had returned from buying alcohol, “How are you so dark? Go, call your uncle and them to eat.”

“Running around east and west at school all day, how can I not get dark.”

Jiang Qin returned to the living room, inviting his uncle, aunts and cousins to come eat.

Because everyone came for Jiang Qin, he very naturally became the center of conversation.

Uncle was a bit better, a more upright person, asking about studies and life. But the two aunts were more gossipy, every sentence not leaving the topic of dating.

“Jiang Qin, got a girlfriend yet? I heard there are quite a few girls in your major.”

“No Auntie, I’m focused on studying.” Jiang Qin calmly responded.

Yuan Youqin didn’t believe it one bit. This kid could go ten days to half a month without calling home. How could he not be dating? “Jiang Qin, if you found a girlfriend then bring her back for me to meet. I’ve wanted a daughter for a long time. Too bad you were the eldest son. Having a daughter-in-law also fulfills a dream of mine.”

Aunt Yuan Youmei also added, “If you can bring her home for New Year’s, your aunt will give you red envelopes. However much you want. Your other aunt and uncle too. We’ll give three shares. How about it?”

Jiang Qin’s eyes lit up, “However much I want, and three shares? There’s such a good thing?!”

Uncle immediately waved his hand upon hearing this, “Better leave me out. I’m so poor I don’t even have money to buy cigarettes.”

“Big bro, what are you afraid of? Jiang Qin already said he doesn’t have one. Is he going to rent one to ask you for red envelopes?”

“His eyes just lit up. If he really brings one back, what are you going to do?”

Jiang Qin gave a thumbs up, thinking his uncle was way up in the stratosphere. He really gets me.

The next second, Uncle expressionlessly passed a cell phone to Jiang Qin, “Your cousin was just playing Snake on it. The girl on the wallpaper is quite pretty.”

Jiang Qin: “?????”

“What girl?” Yuan Youqin turned to look at Jiang Qin.

“The wallpaper on his phone is a little girl. Looks like a girlfriend. This kid isn’t telling the truth.” Uncle sold Jiang Qin out with one sentence.

Aunt Yuan Youmei couldn’t help being stunned for a moment, “Great Jiang Qin, you really found a girlfriend? What your aunt just said doesn’t count. I’m poor too. Red envelopes capped at 500. No more!”

“I don’t have a girlfriend Auntie. Don’t listen to Uncle sprouting nonsense. My phone wallpaper is a female celebrity.”

“Bullshit. Let’s see!”

Jiang Qin had no choice. He could only show everyone the Feng Nanshu on his phone wallpaper.

This photo was taken last time in the maple forest. The resolution wasn’t very high, but the lower the resolution, the prettier the person in the photo appeared.

In the image, a cold little cutie stood amidst pure white snowfall. Her nose was red from the cold but her eyes were clear and bright. Her left hand made a scissor gesture by her right cheek. The whole action seemed silly and foolish.

Actually, after taking this photo, the two of them took a joint photo too. Luckily he didn’t use that as the wallpaper, otherwise it would be hard to explain the advanced concept of “good friends”.

“See? Someone this pretty, how could she be my girlfriend? What could she see in me? That I don’t shower?”

“She really is pretty…”

The family looked at Feng Nanshu’s photo for a long time. Indeed, they didn’t quite believe Jiang Qin could find such a pretty girlfriend.

Yuan Youqin also looked at Feng Nanshu’s photo for a while. Although the girl’s eyes were cold, they revealed a charming obedience, a feeling of very good eye affinity. The more she looked the more she liked her.

Eye affinity?

And liked her?

Over. Then she definitely wasn’t Jiang Qin’s girlfriend.

Because according to what Sister Li next door said, the one you feel annoyed at with one glance should be the daughter-in-law.

Yuan Youqin returned the phone to Jiang Qin, a bit disappointed, but also feeling this disappointment was strange.

When Jiang Qin was in high school, she always worried this kid would date early and not focus on studies. But Jiang Qin had only been in college for half a year and she wanted a daughter-in-law.

Especially Sister Li next door, only five or six years older than her, already holding a little grandson, strolling around the neighborhood all day, truly making one unbearably envious.
