Chapter 360 - Chapter 360 Chapter 359 Humph you guess

Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Humph, you guess? Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Humph, you guess? The motorcycle zipped along the mountain road relatively quickly, and about forty minutes later, the duo arrived downstairs at their home. From a distance, Wang Mingjie yelled, “A Toyota Land Cruiser! Little Hui, can you check if the license plate is Hangzhou A87659?”

“How do you know that?” Wang Hui scrutinized the plate: “It’s correct!”

“Brother Tianli is here!” Wang Mingjie leaped off the motorcycle and dashed towards the stairwell entrance, “That’s Brother Tianli’s car, the Toyota Land Cruiser, worth over six hundred thousand! Awesome, right?!”

“Damn, that’s so badass!”

Wang Hui was also in a hurry, he locked the motorcycle and ran. As soon as they entered the home, they saw a middle-aged man about thirty-five or thirty-six years old sitting on the sofa. He was dressed in a suit and tie, with a black handbag in front of him, and a black iPhone 7 resting on top of the bag.

Wang Mingjie exclaimed excitedly, “Brother Tianli, you’re here?!”

Wang Tianli smiled and said, “Just got here, got stuck in traffic for a long while on the highway.”

“Ming Jie, Little Hui, you guys finally came back,” Wang Mingjing dragged over a table, setting it up as he called out to Wang Hui, “Well, come and help! Let me tell you, your Brother Tianli is now really something. His business is huge! Did you see the car downstairs? The Toyota Land Cruiser! More than six hundred thousand–now that’s what you call a successful person! He’s even brought Wen Jun back with him; they’re going to perform a comedic sketch for our old ancestor, to give everyone a good laugh!”

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Wenjun’s voice came from the kitchen, “If that’s not success, what is? Brother Tianli is the definition of success!”

Soon everyone settled down, forming a circle to sit around. Wang Tianli chuckled, “Well, I guess it’s going okay, sort of passable in front of others. By the way, haven’t Tianfu and Tianshi arrived yet?”

“Tianfu is about to get off the highway,” Wang Mingjing set plates for Wang Tianli while saying, “Tianshi is with him; they’ll be here any minute. Let’s start eating without them.”

“Okay!” Wang Tianli took off his suit jacket then took a sip of wine and chuckled, “Hey, I heard that you went to Zhonghai a couple days ago to sort out some road construction work?”

“Don’t remind me. I was actually planning to visit Little Hao first,” Wang Mingjing sat down with the others and they each took a sip of wine before he continued, “But it turns out this kid is full of hot air, completely unreliable. He managed to get a car, but it turned out to be a clunker. Tomorrow I’ll have to give him a good talking-to! How can a young person be so vague?”

“Indeed,” hearing Wang Mingjing mention this, Wang Mingqing nodded and added, “Isn’t that what I do–handle second-hand items? He sold a few old desks and chairs at my place, claiming he had a company and was replacing everything old! But not long after, Wen Jun showed up and said Haoer had told him he had clout at the ‘Happy People Stage’, was well-known there. But when Wen Jun checked, it was all a lie!”

“I asked him to help me find a job, and he told me to do odd jobs,” Wang Mingjie nodded in agreement, “Brother Tianli, you really come through though. When you say you’ll arrange a job, you do it. Now that’s what I call a true relative!”

Wang Tianli shook his head and laughed, “Ah, after all, he’s not really one of us, the difference is too big! Forget about it. Before I came this time, I also contacted a few beverage companies about the spring water back home; they seem to think it’s worth considering and are ready to study it.”

“It’s a done deal!” Upon hearing this from Wang Tianli, Wang Mingjing slapped his thigh in elation, “Now we’re set! Nobody swings a deal like Brother Tianli! Look at that, as soon as he gets involved, it yields immediate results! Not like us, running around to dozens of places with no success at all!”

The group then began to drink, and about twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang. Wang Mingjing rushed over to open the door and, seeing who it was, he burst into laughter, “Haha, Tianfu! Tianshi! You’ve both arrived! And this is…”

Everyone got up to look, and three people entered from the door. Wang Tianfu’s attire betrayed his official rank, but more noteworthy was a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six, bespectacled and genteel. A pretty girl accompanied him, donning a vibrant red dress, her slim waist and long legs accentuated, her hair a cascade of brown waves. The room was taken aback, “Hey, Tianshi, who’s this beauty?”

“Let me introduce her,” Wang Tianshi walked in with the girl, chuckling as they changed shoes, “This is my girlfriend, Ding Xinxin.”

“Hello,” Ding Xinxin smiled and waved to everyone, who were utterly astonished. Wang Mingjie’s eyes were glued to her, “Brother Tianshi! Your wife’s way too pretty! I’ve only seen such beauty on TV!”

“It’s secure now! It’s truly secure now!” Wang Mingjing said proudly, “Just based on Brother Tianli, Tianfu, and Brother Tianshi, at tomorrow’s great-grandparent’s birthday, we’ll definitely be the center of attention! See what I mean? This is what true success looks like! Not just someone spouting nonsense!”

“Ha ha ha, you got it, absolutely!” The crowd agreed, nodding as they invited the three to take a seat. Then, Wang Mingjing turned on the television, chuckling, “Come on, let’s watch the show while we drink!”

“I’m telling you, this show is going to kill it!” Wang Wenjun boasted, “Three people from our Happy Forest have been chosen to participate in the ‘Happy People Stage’ and perform–such a spectacle, I can’t even manage to get up on it!”

“Really?” The crowd roared with laughter, “Let’s see! It’s starting, it’s starting!”

The group then settled in to watch the evening show.

The music performances warranted no particular remark, but as soon as the first sketch, “Selling Crutches,” began, everyone was in stitches within moments.

“Ha ha ha ha! This sketch is too funny!”

“Crutches for sale, oh, crutches! Selling crutches! I can’t take it anymore, hahaha!”

“These two, celebrating the New Year and playing ‘selling the wife’! Haha!”

The entire room burst into laughter, and Wang Wenjun said with pride, “How about that! What do you think of this skit?!”

“Great!” everyone shouted in unison, “It’s so fun to watch!”

“Right?” Wang Wenjun was genuinely excited this time: “Let me tell you, the folks from our Happy People Stage are about to come on! That skit is going to be even more interesting!”

…

At Wang Hao’s great-grandfather’s home, a family of over twenty people gathered around, sitting in a circle in front of the TV, watching the show.

The birthday star of the day was so delighted by the skit that he could hardly contain himself!

“Hahaha! This skit is so entertaining; I’ve never seen one this good in my whole life!” the great-grandfather laughed, “I could live off this skit for the rest of my days! This I’ve got to have… this is truly unique! Haha!” Yep, don’t look at how the old man is already a hundred years old this year, judging by his spirit, he could easily have another twenty years to go in his latter half of life!

The whole room was laughing so hard they were flying high. At this point, Wang Hao’s social media feeds were almost exploding–

“Tonight’s show on Zhonghai TV station is insanely good! The skit is fortress-strong!”

“Who organized this evening’s program? It’s brilliant; every piece is a gem! All are masterpieces!”

“I’ve been laughing non-stop, Hai Yan, you’d better watch out!”

On WeChat, Bai Yaning excitedly asked Wang Hao, “Did you create this skit? It’s fantastic; I had the housekeeping robot record it. I’ll watch it a couple of times when I have free time!”

Wang Hao: “Hehe, you like it? Stick with Brother Hao and you’ll be laughing for a lifetime!”

Bai Yaning: “Look at how smug you are. But you did surprise me again this time!”

Wang Hao: “Of course, by the way, when are you guys arriving tomorrow?”

Bai Yaning: “Humph, guess?”

Wang Hao: “…”

…

“Auntie Three, come on in, please come inside!”

“Uncle Two! Hahaha, it’s been like four or five years, hasn’t it?”

“Brother Ming Hui, haha, it’s been over three years, right? You’ve grown so tall, come on, please come inside!”

Early the next morning, Wang Hao and Wang Mingxuan were standing at the courtyard gate, welcoming guests.

Some relatives lived close by, just around DQ County, and arrived early in the morning. Others were a bit further away and had spent the previous night in DQ County, arriving the next morning.

It was just around nine in the morning when over twenty people had already arrived. At first, Wang Hao could still recall each person’s seniority, but later on, he was utterly at a loss–there was no helping it; there were just too many people. Many he had not seen for five or six years, his impression of them wasn’t that deep, and most importantly, the hierarchy was too complicated for Wang Hao to keep straight…

“Little Brother Hao,” as Wang Mingxuan was greeting the relatives, he asked, “What’s in the box you brought in last night?”

“It’s a display piece I bought for my great-grandfather,” not something to carelessly brag about, costing eighteen thousand for a Jade Ruyi, Wang Hao casually responded, “It’s just for good fortune and celebration, hehe.”
