Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2227: Chapter 1884: Superstitious, Huh? (2)

No way!

As she spoke, she couldn’t help heading out again: "I have to go ask her and get things straight."

"Ask what?" Zhou Maozhu glanced at his son, then at his wife:

"Isn’t this embarrassing enough already? What’s there to ask? You think this is the Emperor picking concubines? If she’s not into you, she’s just not into you. I heard all those security guards on the mountain, the girls are the ones running up to them to cheer them on."

Zhou Tianyu thought of that and felt downright sour inside:

"Mom, you can’t pin all of this on me. Nowadays girls see some abs or whatever, think the guy’s got a good body and straightaway want to date him."

And they don’t even stop to think: what if one day he stops being self-disciplined, won’t they all turn into big fatties?

Besides, they all have proper jobs. No way they’d look twice at some little security guard from the village.

What future is there in being a security guard anyway? If he really wanted to, he could go apply to any residential compound in the urban area and be a security guard there, and it’d be way closer to their workplaces.

Hearing that, Li Lanhua was the first to be stumped.

Thing is, being a security guard in the village is actually pretty promising.

Not to mention anything else, those security guards don’t even look like they spend much money. When they retire like that, everyone knows they’ve got savings. Savings aside, a monthly salary of several thousand, and basically nowhere to spend it.

From that angle, it does feel more solid and reassuring than Tianyu’s job.

And about them working out and all, put it this way: at least they’re disciplined first.

What about their son? Comes home and sleeps till the sun’s high in the sky every day.

Yes, there’s not much farm work to do when it rains, and he’s not good at it anyway.

But just from this alone, a mother’s filter can’t be slapped on blindly.

Still, thinking like this left her unwilling to accept it. She felt Zhang Hong didn’t handle things properly. How come at the very end, she just had to rush up and steal that moment in the spotlight?

...

Down at the foot of the mountain, Aunt Zhang Hong passed by Lao Song’s family’s place and even made a point of popping in. She hadn’t even opened her mouth to talk about today’s成果 yet when she went straight to asking:

"Tantan, when’s your place going to be finished? All these lads and lasses aren’t that young anymore. When it comes time to talk marriage, they can’t still be going to buy a place in the city, right?"

If they buy a place there, how are they supposed to keep working up here? Wouldn’t that be like drawing water with a bamboo basket—nothing in the end?

She knew full well that every security guard had at least tens of thousands in savings. Buying a house and getting married was absolutely no problem.

Having a place in town didn’t seem that appealing on the matchmaking market.

But what if what you buy in town is a villa?

Most importantly, their city is small; it only takes forty minutes from town to the urban area! Live in the urban area and it takes over half an hour just to get from the new district to the old one, and if you hit traffic, who knows how long it’ll take.

Aunt Zhang Hong was already looking one step, two steps, three steps ahead; at this rate she’d soon be worrying about where the kids would go to kindergarten.

Her enthusiasm left Song Tan stunned—today’s supposed to be a matchmaking event, not a mass wedding, right?

But what followed was a huge sense of pressure.

If everything else is ready to go, but just because of housing all the employees end up single, then she’d really feel terribly guilty.

"Alright," she agreed readily, "I’ll hurry things along again!"

The basic preliminary procedures were pretty much done. The construction company was nothing to complain about—X Construction, a well-known local firm. The construction drawings had already been submitted for review and filing!

Now they just had to wait out this approval period.

Aunt Zhang Hong blinked. Clearly she didn’t really understand the process for getting land approved and building houses.

But since they said the early procedures were more or less done, then they probably were—only...

She lowered her voice and asked, "When I went to the urban area for that matchmaking event, I heard some girls talking about how certain buildings are ’king of the block.’ The agents kept going on about how the block king’s location was great, something about a jade belt around the waist, and some green dragon drawing in water sort of feng shui layout."

"You’re putting up such a big development here—shouldn’t you invite a master to take a look too?"

Song Tan: ...

She really wasn’t walking the road of dialectical materialism, but Aunt Zhang Hong, when you were tinkering with your own courtyard, she hadn’t seen you this idealistic!

Maybe her puzzled look was too obvious, because Aunt Zhang Hong hurried to stress:

"Don’t get me wrong, your aunt here is going to be a cadre someday. I’m not asking you to dabble in any of that feudal superstition. I just asked casually, you know?"

Then she looked over at Lao Song’s Family:

"Wu Lan, look at this, I really was just asking casually. Back then, when we put up the main beam, didn’t we also pick an auspicious date?"

Anyway, mission accomplished for the day, she hurriedly left Lao Song’s family’s place.

Otherwise, if she stayed any longer, she really was afraid she’d blurt out something she shouldn’t and tarnish her image as an official.

...

As soon as Aunt Zhang Hong left, Lao Song’s Family all sat around, eyes burning as they stared at Song Tan: "So your what-do-you-call-it building plans are all done?"
