Chapter 921 Being Handsome Has Its Benefits After All
Half an hour later, Yang Jiao, who had changed into a black windbreaker, saw Xu Hongdou wearing clothes with local ethnic customs.
"The way you are dressed, you don't look like a tourist at all. You have turned into an ordinary local girl."
“The main purpose of traveling is to experience local customs and culture.”
The two of them went downstairs one after another and saw that Ma Qiu Shan had already started meditating during the day. They also saw an old woman dressed as a local watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
"You are new here."
"Well, yes, hello." Xu Hongdou smiled.
"Hello, welcome." The old woman walked up to the two of them and said:
"I have a few words to explain to you. I am responsible for the sanitation of this yard. Don't litter your garbage, and don't leave it at the door. Just throw it into the trash can in the laundry room over there."
"You also have to take care of the hygiene in your own room. I won't be responsible for that. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, I understand." Xu Hongdou replied with a smile.
"Hey, you are very good-looking. You look like my Xiaoxi. What are you doing here?" The old woman looked at Xu Hongdou's appearance carefully, and couldn't help but think of her daughter, so she asked curiously.
"I came here just to take a rest. The air here is good." Xu Hongdou's attitude was still friendly.
"Then you don't have to work anymore?" the old woman blurted out.
"Resigned." Xu Hongdou said openly.
"Oh, you city people are still confident. You won't do your work if you don't want to do it." The old woman couldn't help but look at Yang Jiao, who was silent at the side:
"You are such a handsome young man, you must have resigned from your job and come to our place to rest, right?"
"I've never had a job, so I just like to travel around."
Yang Jiao was familiar with the original plot, and he naturally understood the character of the old woman who seemed a bit difficult to get along with. She was vain, extremely sober, and enthusiastic and helpful. She was a kind and caring person.
For example, if there is delicious food, it will be shared with everyone. If there is an opportunity to make money, the first thing that comes to mind is the needy people around you. In general, it is you and me in the ordinary world.
"You city people are really chic." The old woman then emphasized:
"I'm not a migrant worker. One-third of the houses in this yard belong to my family. I'm the landlord."
"My landlady, no wonder you speak so decently." Xu Hongdou showed off his background as a hotel manager and complimented with a smile.
The old woman immediately laughed happily:
"Hahaha, landlady, this is the first time I've heard of it, but it's very foreign, but your little girl in the city can talk and is decent." When she said this, she shook her head and laughed:
"I'm just an old lady from the countryside. Don't be polite. Just call me Auntie Agui from now on."
"Okay, Aunt Agui." Xu Hongdou nodded.
"Hey, where is your hometown?" Aunt Agui was chatting happily and asked with a smile.
"Me, me, from Dongshan." Xu Hongdou was caught off guard.
"Dongshan? But Qindao?" A look of surprise appeared on Aunt Agui's face.
"No, we are a small third-tier city, but it's not far away." Xu Hongdou shook his head.
"It is quite fate that my son and daughter are both on Qindao." Aunt Agui explained emphatically:
"It's not like they went to work. They all went to Qindao to go to college and stayed there after graduation. Now they are all married and have children."
"That's amazing." Xu Hongdou followed her words and said.
Although Aunt Agui grinned at being praised, she still humbly said:
"What's so great, my son Dayang bought a big house in Qindao, but what's the use of it? You don't have to pay the mortgage, right?"
"Well, Aunt Agui, do you know how to get to the windy restaurant opened by Xiaochun?" Xu Hongdou asked suddenly.
"Of course I know, it's very close. Turn left after exiting the courtyard door, go to the end of another alley and turn left, then go to the end and turn right, then go to the end of the town and ask for directions again, and you will know, right? Very close?" Aunt Agui pointed to the road familiarly.
"Um, thank you." Xu Hongdou paused.
"Okay, you two young lovers, just go and have fun." Aunt Agui said with a smile.
"Aunt Agui, let's go." Yang Jiao grabbed Xu Hongdou's wrist.
When the two of them walked out of the yard, Yang Jiao glanced at Xu Hongdou and saw that there was still a look of confusion on Xu Hongdou's face.
"The exchange you had with Aunt Agui just now finally made me feel the professionalism of a five-star hotel manager in Beijing."
When Xu Hongdou heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Why don't you tell me why you didn't explain it to Aunt Agui just now?"
Yang Jiao said calmly:
"You should have experienced Aunt Agui's hospitality. Believe it or not, once she explains it, it will only add fuel to the fire and encourage her to be a matchmaker. So we just admit it. In this way, we can get away immediately. That’s it.”
Xu Hongdou snorted:
"You are ruining my reputation. With Aunt Agui's character, it won't be long before she tells others that the two new tenants in the courtyard are a couple."
A smile appeared on Yang Jiao's face:
"I, a golden bachelor, don't even dislike you for ruining my reputation. Instead, you start to dislike me."
Xu Hongdou narrowed his eyes:
"Okay, you took advantage of me verbally, and now you are holding on to me tightly. Yang Jiao, I find that you are getting thicker and thicker."
"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot." Yang Jiao immediately let go and said lightly:
"It's really hard to be a good person nowadays. No wonder there are fewer and fewer people who are enthusiastic about helping others. After all, who is willing to do more thankless things."
When Xu Hongdou heard this, he just sighed:
"Oh, only now do I realize that although some people's temperament has not changed much, their behavior has changed significantly, and they actually consider themselves good people."
"Yeah, I couldn't imagine that I would become like this." Yang Jiao's eyes were long and deep, and he suddenly smiled:
"But having said that, everyone has multiple faces, and experiences and memories will continue to shape a person's personality and behavior. It is understandable that I have changed like this."
Xu Hongdou glanced at Yang Jiao, nodded and said:
"That's right. I'm very happy that you have changed like this. I still remember how cold you were to other strangers when we first met, and the aura you exuded was even more depressing. "
Yang Jiao recalled the past and said:
"Don't you want to attribute all my changes to yourself? After that, it was obvious that your parents and I knew each other, and they were familiar with my situation. They saw how pitiful I was, so they enthusiastically let me go to your house for dinner. .”
"Then as we continued to get along with each other, I got a little better and no longer kept a cold face, which led to me becoming what I am now."
Xu Hongdou suddenly recalled something and said:
"It makes me angry just to talk about it. My parents treated you better than me and my sister. They acted as if you were their biological child."
Yang Jiao smiled lightly:
"There are some benefits to being handsome after all."
