Chapter 359: Chapter 358 This Whole Family Chapter 359: Chapter 358 This Whole Family “It was just over twenty kilometers, but Wang Hao took an hour to finally reach the destination. As they entered the village, they saw the eastern side where his great-grandfather’s house was all lit up and bustling with people.

When Wang Hao’s car drove by, three people came out from the great-grandfather’s large courtyard. As soon as they saw him, they smiled and said, “Look who has come! Hey, De Wang, it’s been what, four or five years since we last saw you?”

Wang Hao’s father nodded with a smile, “Indeed, it’s been four or five years. Oh, how time flies.”

“Come in, come in,” said the speaker, a solidly built farmer in his early fifties, Wang Hao’s uncle, Wang Delong. He couldn’t stop smiling as he said, “Using the old ancestor’s hundredth birthday as an excuse, we finally got everyone together. Otherwise, the ties might weaken over time.” Wang Hao’s great-grandfather lived with the family of Wang Delong, a branch of Uncle Three.

The woman next to Wang Delong, Wang Hao’s aunt, said, “Exactly, the road here isn’t great, which deters most people from visiting. The old ancestor had been thinking of fixing it, but Ming Jie and a few others haven’t managed to get it done yet, which is a pity. Come in, come in.”

The last one, a young man about twenty-five or twenty-six with a dark complexion and an honest look, dressed in a simple farmer’s robe, was Wang Hao’s cousin, Wang Mingxuan. He sneakily pulled Wang Hao’s arm and chuckled, “Little Hao, it’s been ages since we last met, you look great! Wow, this car must have been expensive, right?”

“It’s okay, I couldn’t bring my own, so I borrowed this one from a friend.” Wang Hao chatted with Wang Mingxuan as they walked, “Mingxuan, how have you been these days?”

“I’ve been alright, just farming,” Wang Mingxuan chuckled and scratched his head, “Can’t compare to you university-educated folks. I don’t know much, just getting by.”

“That’s pretty good too. This place has a nice environment,” Wang Hao nodded, looking around–the surroundings were still all so familiar. Years ago, he and Wang Mingxuan used to catch fish in the ponds as best buddies, and in a blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed.

As they spoke, Wang Hao followed the crowd into the inner room. As soon as he entered, he saw a spry elderly man with white hair and a youthful face seated in the main seat. He hurriedly went up to pay his respects, “Great-grandfather, I’m here!”

The elderly jubilarian was Wang Hao’s great-grandfather. As soon as he saw Wang Hao, he took his hand, looked him over carefully, and smiled, “Ah, Haoer, you’ve grown so much! And look at you, more spirited than ever! Have a seat, have a seat!”

“My Haoer is doing quite well now,” Wang Hao’s father, unable to contain his joy when the old ancestor praised his son, said, “He’s just a bit playful, but he’s on the right path now and doing pretty well.”

“As if I needed you to tell me that,” the jubilarian cut him off directly and left Wang Hao’s father speechless, “Little Hao has always been smart, it’s just you who never appreciated him! Look at him now, he’s clearly got brains, he won’t be ordinary in the future!”

You really are a living god! You can see all that!

“Great-grandfather, it’s not really as good as you say,” Wang Hao felt a bit embarrassed, “I’m just messing around, haha.”

“Life is about messing around,” the jubilarian was surprisingly trendy, “Only those of us with soil up to our chins can’t do much! It’s good to be a bit chaotic, aren’t young people who don’t mess around foolish?”

“You should live another twenty years at least!” Wang Hao quickly complimented, “By then I’ll have my son come to celebrate your birthday!”

“For that comment alone, I’ll have to live another twenty years!” The jubilarian, amused by Wang Hao, laughed heartily, his laughter vibrant, “Then I, your great-grandfather, will be waiting to hold my great-great-grandson!”

This was no exaggeration–if Wang Hao had a child, the old man would indeed see five generations under one roof!

“Definitely!” Wang Hao touched his nose, “Great-grandfather, just wait and see!”

Hmm, should we start planning for a kid with our celebrity at home?

“The boy is getting more and more handsome; it’s quite charming to see.” The jubilarian looked at Wang Hao again and smiled, “Alright, I’ve seen you now, go play with Mingxuan and the others. I won’t keep you youngsters any longer.”

“Off I go then,” Wang Hao’s face beamed with joy as he left the house.

Wang Mingxuan was already waiting outside; as soon as he saw Wang Hao come out, he grabbed his arm and said, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. It’s rare to have so many people, let’s go play poker! Ming Jie, Little Hui, my brother Ming Bo, Yu Fang, and Little Qian from Uncle’s side are all there playing Jinhua!”

Young people love to gather together. Hearing that several brothers and sisters were there, Wang Hao immediately said with a grin, “Let’s go make some money!”

The two entered a room next door where five young people were already playing poker. As soon as Wang Hao walked in, everyone stood up to greet him, “Brother Hao!” “Little Brother Hao!” “Uncle Hao!”

Ah, there were all sorts of relationships, which made it quite lively!

Having already met Wang Hao in the city, Wang Mingjie and Wang Hui exchanged glances and Wang Mingjie chuckled quietly, “The bragger has arrived!”

“He’s here, he’s here,” within moments Wang Hao joined everyone, not bothering about formalities, and started playing immediately!

After a few casual rounds, Wang Hao looked at his cards and asked Wang Mingjie, “Ming Jie, have you talked to Auntie about it? Are you planning to take the job as a runner or not?”

Hearing this, Wang Mingjie immediately laughed and said, “Ah, I spoke to her, and since I’m not getting any younger, she told me to start earning money. Brother Tianfu helped me find a job at Brother Tianli’s restaurant to start with.”

“I see,” no wonder there had been no news these days. He wouldn’t force Wang Hao’s path on anyone. Just then, Wang Hao’s cousin, Wang Mingbo sitting next to him asked, “Brother Hao, what job as a runner?”

“Ah? A production assistant,” Wang Hao tossed his cards aside and while watching everyone raise their bets, he laughed and said, “I thought about finding a job for little brother Ming Jie first, maybe get him into acting groups once he’s familiar. But he’s not going, so never mind.”

Actually, he was just saying it casually, but Wang Mingbo immediately took interest and joyfully said, “Brother Hao, it’s perfect since I’m jobless and don’t have any particular skills. How about you see if I can go?”

“Sure,” Wang Hao looked at Wang Mingbo, and really, his appearance was quite suitable, like a simple country boy. He immediately asked, “You want to go?”

Wang Mingbo nodded: “I’ll go!”

“Then I’ll make a call!” They were really family, so Wang Hao got up to make a call. About ten minutes later, Wang Hao laughed, “They said they’ll see, but it should be fine!”

“Thanks, Brother Hao!” Hearing that they would give him a try, Wang Mingbo was instantly happy and said, “I knew Brother Hao was the best!”

While playing seriously, Wang Mingjie and Wang Hui exchanged glances and snickered, “This fool, so happy to get a runner’s job, such a bumpkin!”

The group chatted and played cards; their stakes were low, just one yuan each. Such a small game was almost like scratching an itch for Wang Hao, but since they were really family, there was no need to play big. Ultimately, Wang Mingjie lost over fifty yuan, while Wang Hao won more than a hundred.

“Keep it all,” just then, their dad called everyone to eat, Wang Hao casually gave all the money back and said, “Let’s go, stop playing for now. Let’s eat!”

Wang Mingxuan and Wang Mingbo immediately nodded, “Let’s go, let’s eat!”

Wang Hao’s great-grandfather lived at his third-grandfather’s house, and Wang Mingjie and Wang Hui were from the great-grandfather’s family line. They stood up directly, and Wang Hui laughed, “Alright, let’s call it a day. I’ll take Ming Jie back. The roads are bad; if it gets late, we won’t make it back. Your place is not really accommodating.”

Wang Mingxuan knew he was speaking the truth and nodded, “Alright, see you tomorrow morning. Come early!”

“No problem!” Wang Hui and Wang Mingjie then left the house, got on the motorcycle, and headed straight for the town.

On the road, Wang Mingjie laughed, “This Brother Hao really cares about his image, gave me all the money I lost back, hehe.”

“With how big he talks, would he have the heart to take advantage of you?” Wang Hui replied with a smile, “Let’s go, let’s also go eat. I heard that tonight’s show at Zhonghai TV station is quite big; let’s watch it while we eat!”
