Chapter 370 An Old Man Who Looks Alike to Qiao Changdong
Reading Settings
"Baby, this is your great-aunt, this is your great-uncle, greet them quickly." Yan Liti walked over and took Qiao Qiao from Shen Qingyan's arms.
She pointed to the old woman and then introduced her to an elderly man who walked slowly over with his hands behind his back, looking exceptionally kind.
"Grandma, Grandpa," Qiao Qiao greeted them sweetly.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful Qiao Qiao, the old woman was slightly taken aback. Although she had heard from other members of the Shen family that her sister's granddaughter was very beautiful, she never expected that a little child could be this beautiful.
After regaining her senses, she still looked serious, but her eyes were warm as she said "good girl" to Qiao Qiao.
The old man smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good boy, good boy."
Fu Yu also greeted people along with Qiao Qiao. It was probably because Yan Liti had told the two elders about Qiao Changdong's situation beforehand. The two elders did not ask Fu Yu any questions out of curiosity.
However, when she saw Qiao Changdong behind her, the old woman's expression changed slightly. She stared blankly at Qiao Changdong as he walked in, and it took her a long time to react.
Qiao Changdong followed Shen Qingyan's example and addressed them as "Auntie, Uncle".
Yan Xiaoqing's husband is named Wang Mingcheng, and he is sixty-four years old this year. When he saw Qiao Changdong, he was also momentarily dazed, just like Yan Xiaoqing was.
"What's wrong?" Yan Lidi asked, noticing that the couple's expressions were off.
Yan Xiaoqing glanced at Qiao Changdong again, then looked at Wang Mingcheng, her tone a little strange: "Is this Comrade Qiao from Huajiang Province?"
Qiao Changdong was puzzled by the two old men's gazes, but he still nodded and replied, "Yes, from Huajiang Province."
"So you've been living there all this time?" Yan Xiaoqing asked again.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Qiao Changdong asked in return.
"Young comrade, you really do look a bit like me when I was young," Wang Mingcheng explained with a smile.
He wasn't lying.
When he first saw Qiao Changdong, he was momentarily stunned, thinking he was seeing a younger version of himself.
"Really? What a coincidence!" Yan Liti exclaimed in surprise.
When Yan Xiaoqing married Wang Mingcheng, she was only about ten years old. Forty years have passed since then, so she naturally doesn't remember what Wang Mingcheng looked like when he was young.
"It does look very similar." Yan Xiaoqing nodded. If she didn't know that Wang Mingcheng didn't have the guts, she would have suspected that Wang Mingcheng was keeping a mistress on the side.
However, Huajiang Province is too far from Jinshi, making this possibility extremely slim.
Qiao Changdong hadn't expected this possibility and immediately said with a smile, "It's my honor to be like your uncle."
Wang Mingcheng was clearly a very kind old man. Upon hearing this, he patted Qiao Changdong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Young comrade, you have a sweet tongue. What do you do, young comrade?"
“I used to drive a truck, but now I’m unemployed. That’s how I ended up in Kyoto, where I met you, someone I’m destined to meet,” Qiao Changdong said.
"Hahaha..." Wang Mingcheng was immediately amused by Qiao Changdong's words and burst into laughter, patting him on the shoulder repeatedly, showing his affection for him.
In fact, Wang Mingcheng also found it strange.
This young man looks a lot like him. He doesn't know if it's just fate, but not only does he look like him when he was young, his personality is also somewhat similar. He really likes him from the bottom of his heart.
"You little comrade, you're interesting, very interesting, honey. Look, isn't your talent for humor just like mine? Luckily, I haven't been to Huajiang Province all these years, otherwise I wouldn't be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
"You're such a grown man, how can you speak so rudely!" Yan Xiaoqing scolded him, but despite her words, her expression softened considerably because of Wang Mingcheng's words.
The group did not linger at the entrance and went inside.
Yan Lidi asked Qiao Changdong, "Is the baby's grandma alright? If someone from the family came, I should have been waiting for her to wake up. Changdong, did you explain for your aunt?"
"It's alright, it's alright, my mom is fine. It's just a minor surgery. Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. My mom knows everything," Qiao Changdong replied.
"Young comrade..."
"Uncle, my name is Qiao Changdong. You can call me Changdong or Dongzi, it's fine."
"Alright, then Uncle won't stand on ceremony." Wang Mingcheng didn't stand on ceremony either, immediately changing his form of address, and then inquired about Grandma Qiao's condition with concern.
Upon learning that Grandma Qiao was doing well and that the hospital had made thorough arrangements, Wang Mingcheng nodded.
Then she said, "Well, we're all relatives. If you have any difficulties, just ask your aunt. Your aunt is very capable. She has a lot of students under her, and there are doctors in her family too."
"..." others.
Everyone's expression was indescribable, especially Yan Liti's.
When Wang Mingcheng said, "If you have any difficulties," everyone subconsciously assumed that his next sentence was to ask him for help.
Who would have thought?
He just casually suggested finding his aunt!
"Brother-in-law, so many years have passed, and you're still so shameless," Yan Liti directly complained.
When people called him shameless, Wang Mingcheng didn't mind at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "I'm not wrong. Although I, your brother-in-law, am not capable, your sister is very capable. What's your sister's is mine. That's right."
"..." Yan Liti.
Yan Liti was truly impressed by the sheer audacity of this person.
Yan Xiaoqing, walking beside her, had an even bigger smile on her face.
Clearly, she was particularly susceptible to her husband's charms.
Because Yan Xiaoqing was employed by a school in Tianjin, the couple moved there many years ago and no longer live in Kyoto.
Shen Qingyan wasn't very familiar with the two elderly people.
But the way Wang Mingcheng spoke and the matter-of-fact tone of his voice felt strangely familiar to him, so he couldn't help but take another look at Qiao Changdong, who was walking ahead.
Qiao Changdong seemed to sense his gaze, turned around and glanced at him, even slightly raising his chin with a hint of smugness.
Even his smug look is exactly the same as Wang Mingcheng's boasting about his wife's abilities!
However, at this moment, Shen Qingyan didn't think too much about it.
After entering the house, everyone sat together and chatted for a while. Wang Mingcheng, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, finally angered his wife.
Yan Xiaoqing frowned and called out to her husband on the other side, a warning in her voice: "Wang Mingcheng!"
Qiao Changdong asked in surprise, "Is your uncle's surname Wang?"
