Chapter 445: Han Chunming tells Su Meng about work.
The next morning, Han Chunming rushed to Su Meng's house.
"Su Meng! Su Meng!" His shout startled Su Meng inside the room, who was taken aback.
At this moment, Su Meng's grandmother came out of the house. When she saw it was Han Chunming, her face immediately darkened, and she said unhappily, "What are you shouting for so early in the morning? Don't you know you're disturbing the neighbors!"
Han Chunming quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm so sorry, I have something urgent to discuss with Su Meng."
Su Meng came out of the house at this moment, tugged at her grandmother's arm, and said softly, "Grandma, Chunming must have something to tell me. I'll go out with him for a bit."
Grandma Su glared at Han Chunming, her face full of displeasure. Han Chunming could only smile awkwardly as he and Su Meng walked out of the courtyard gate one after the other.
"What's wrong? Why are you here so early?" Su Meng asked Han Chunming curiously.
Han Chunming's face was full of joy as he smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing!"
Su Meng immediately pouted and widened her eyes: "What good news? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"I'm off to work!" Han Chunming said smugly.
Su Meng froze instantly, then asked in shock, "What? You're going to work?"
Han Chunming nodded vigorously.
"When did this happen? Where are you working?" Su Meng's tone was full of disbelief.
"A bread factory, how about that? Impressive, right?" Han Chunming asked with a smile, keeping everyone in suspense.
Su Meng gently tapped his arm and said with a smile, "Wow, you're something else! Neither of us is working, but you're the first to find a job!"
"That's right, look who it is!" Han Chunming smiled smugly.
Su Meng also laughed, her eyes full of joy for him.
Cheng Jianjun, who lived across the street from Su Meng's house, quickly dressed and ran out as soon as he heard Han Chunming calling Su Meng's name. He saw Han Chunming and Su Meng walking side by side, looking intimate, and a surge of anger immediately ignited in his heart.
But when he got closer and overheard their conversation, he froze, his face filled with disbelief. Han Chunming had actually found a job? How could that be?
Suppressing his jealousy, Cheng Jianjun walked over as if nothing was wrong, greeting him with a smile: "Hey, Chunming, Su Meng, what are you two chatting about here?"
Su Meng immediately raised her chin and said smugly to Cheng Jianjun, "Cheng Jianjun, Chunming got a job! He's going to work at the bread factory!"
"Really?" Cheng Jianjun feigned surprise, turning to look at Han Chunming. "Chunming, you're really not being fair! Such a big thing, and you're only telling me now!"
Han Chunming explained with a smile, "Jianjun, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, it was just decided yesterday. That's why I came over to tell Su Meng first."
Cheng Jianjun patted Han Chunming on the shoulder and teased him with a smile, "You're such a womanizer, you always put your friends before your girlfriend!"
Han Chunming quickly waved his hand: "No way, I'll come and talk to you later."
"So who found you this job?" Cheng Jianjun's tone shifted, tinged with a hint of probing. "You didn't find it yourself, did you?"
Su Meng immediately perked up her ears, eagerly awaiting Han Chunming's reply.
Han Chunming glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "My future brother-in-law found her this. What do you think? Pretty generous, right?"
Upon hearing this, both Su Meng and Cheng Jianjun were stunned.
"What? Your future brother-in-law?" Su Meng repeated in surprise.
Cheng Jianjun felt a pang of jealousy and said sourly, "Your future brother-in-law? You haven't even visited yet, and he's already found you a job. Looks like you've hooked up with a big shot."
Su Meng, however, was overjoyed and grabbed Han Chunming's arm, asking, "Han Chunming, what does your brother-in-law look like? What does he do?"
Han Chunming scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know either. He hasn't come to our house yet. Only my sister knows."
The two were stunned again.
Cheng Jianjun said in disbelief, "What? You don't know either? He's your future brother-in-law!"
Han Chunming smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you'll know when he gets here."
Su Meng grabbed Han Chunming's hand, urging him repeatedly, "Tell me quickly, tell me what happened! Tell me!"
Seeing Su Meng's expectant look, Han Chunming was overjoyed, but deliberately kept her in suspense: "Alright, then I'll tell you in detail."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Meng's hand, turned around and ran to the side, leaving Cheng Jianjun standing there alone.
Cheng Jianjun watched the two figures disappear into the distance, and stomped his foot angrily. But as soon as he stomped, a piercing pain shot through his foot, and he clutched it, too pain to speak.
"Fine! Fine! You have a job, huh? You want to steal Su Meng from me, huh?" Cheng Jianjun gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely in the direction the two had left. "You just wait!"
On the other side, with what she had talked about with her family the night before in her mind, Han Chunyan hurried briskly toward Nanluoguxiang.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door of courtyard house number 89. The nanny, seeing it was her, quickly smiled and led her into the courtyard. Zhang Lei was holding a baby. When he saw Han Chunyan coming over, he immediately and carefully put the baby down and hurried to greet her.
"I thought you wouldn't be here for another two days, how come you arrived so quickly?" Zhang Lei's tone was full of joy.
Han Chunyan looked at him and said seriously, "I told my family about us last night."
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up, and he excitedly asked, "That's great! What did your family say? Did they make any requests?"
Han Chunyan gently shook her head: "I didn't make any requests, I just said I wanted to see you and asked when you would have time."
Zhang Lei laughed and waved his hand: "Why bother choosing a time? I'm free anytime!"
Seeing Han Chunyan still standing there, he smiled and took her hand, saying, "Come on, let me show you around the yard. I didn't show you around when you came before, so you can see our future home properly."
Han Chunyan gave him a reproachful look: "Who said 'we' with you?"
Zhang Lei gripped her hand tightly, his tone serious: "What? Still want to back out? It's too late now."
Han Chunyan looked around and saw that everyone else in the courtyard was busy with their own things and no one was paying attention to them, so she felt a little relieved and let Zhang Lei lead her forward.
Zhang Lei quickly led her to the east courtyard. Han Chunyan looked at the scattered flowers and plants in the courtyard, and then looked at the clean and tidy room, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is really nice."
Zhang Lei smiled and introduced, "The east courtyard, the back courtyard, and the west courtyard are all connected. Shall I show you around? From the east courtyard to the back courtyard, then from the back courtyard to the west courtyard, and finally back to the middle courtyard."
Han Chunyan followed him happily, looking around at everything. When they reached the pond in the backyard, she saw several large goldfish swimming in it and exclaimed in surprise, "Goldfish that big?"
"The kids like watching it, so I bought a few," Zhang Lei said with a smile.
"How old are they? They already like this?" Han Chunyan was a little surprised.
"I don't know either, but I brought them to see the goldfish swimming around. The little ones' eyes were wide open, and they didn't cry or fuss," Zhang Lei recalled gently.
Han Chunyan laughed: "Indeed, not only do the children like it, but I like it too. This fish is really rare."
