Chapter 170 Meeting Parents

"My father's personality is suitable for business, and he has a wide network of contacts. He was engaged in foreign trade business at that time. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was engaged in reselling and making a profit from the difference. My mother said that the reason why the business was so smooth was all thanks to my father's mouth." Wang Yue smiled when talking about his parents.

"Why did I hear you talking about mahjong? Is your dad playing mahjong?" Song Ji Yang often heard Wang Yue talk about mahjong parlors.

"My dad and his family opened a mahjong parlor."

"Didn't you say your father and his family were retired? Why did you open a mahjong parlor again?"

"Mahjong parlors don't make money. The biggest ones charge one dollar a hand. It's full of old men and women who have retired and have nothing to do. My dad says that this way they always have partners to play with, and it's great to always have someone to play with! Another thing is that I guess they can't sit idle. It would be boring to let them do nothing and just play every day." Wang Yue said.

"Your parents have made very good arrangements for their retirement life! This is a good way to live in retirement."

"What do you mean by retirement? Neither of them is sixty years old. My mother is only fifty years old and in better health than me. You'll know when you see her later." Wang Yue didn't want to say anything to the two shameless people.

When they arrived at the place, the two got off the car and went to look for the mahjong parlor where Wang Yue's parents lived. Wang Yue knew this, so her mother took a photo of the door and gave it to her.

They quickly found the mahjong parlor run by Wang's father and his people. In fact, it was not Wang Yue who found it, but she found it by following Wang's father's voice.

His voice could be heard from far away, he was arguing with someone else about something, but because it was too far away to hear clearly, Wang Yue only heard his father yelling.

Wang Yue led Song Jiyang to the mahjong hall. Wang's mother had been waiting for Wang Yue. Wang's mother was very young, and looked to be in her forties. Standing with Wang Yue, they looked like a pair of sisters.

The mahjong hall is simply decorated, or even undecorated. It is just whitewashed and has about 20 tables inside. Some of the tables are actually ordinary wooden tables. There are no mahjong machines, and you still need to shuffle the cards and play the Great Wall by yourself.

Wang Yue ran over and hugged her happily, saying, "Mom, did you miss me?"

"No!" Wang Ma's eyes were full of smiles.

"Are you tired? Come in and sit down." Aunt Wang asked the two to enter the house.

"Not tired. What is my dad arguing about? He's yelling so loudly that I can hear him from far away." Wang Yue asked.

"When they were playing mahjong, he said that the other person was cheating, and the two of them started arguing."

"How much is it?"

"A dollar!"

"One dollar, is it worth it for my dad? He is the boss! By then all the customers will be offended by him and they won't come to play cards next time." Is this one dollar worth making such a fuss?

"Don't worry about them. Does that guy look like he's short of a dollar? He's just joking. No one else would make such a fuss. It's a good thing you guys are back today, otherwise these guys would have gone out drinking again tonight." Mother Wang said.

"How long has my dad been here? He already has a drinking partner."

"Where aren't your father's friends?"

"that's true!"

Father Wang finally realized that his daughter had arrived. He stopped arguing and quickly left the group of people behind and came over.

"My little moon is here!" Father Wang's exaggerated and hearty voice came from a distance.

"Dad, I've been back for so long and you just discovered it?" Wang Yue expressed his unhappiness.

"Didn't you tell me I'm an old man? I'm hard of hearing, so I definitely didn't hear it!" Wang's father said without blushing. Song Jiyang looked at the couple standing together. They looked very young, like they were in their forties, strong and healthy. He wanted to laugh. He didn't expect Wang Yue's father to be like this.

The family of three gathered together excitedly for a while, and finally remembered that their daughter brought her boyfriend home. Father Wang seemed to have just seen him: "Oh! Xiao Song didn't see you just now, come on and go into the house."

Song Jiyang wondered, did he learn the art of disappearing on the spot?
Song Jiyang quickly greeted Wang's father and mother: "Hello, uncle, hello, aunt."

"Hello, Xiao Song!" Mother Wang was very enthusiastic. She had seen him in the video a few days ago. Mother Wang had a good impression of Song Ji Yang, the kind of liking that a mother-in-law has for her son-in-law.

Father Wang carefully looked him up and down, and seemed satisfied. He punched Song Jiyang on the shoulder, but Song Jiyang's expression did not change.

"Good boy!" Father Wang praised.

But Wang Ma was not satisfied: "What are you doing? It's Xiao Song's first time here and you're touching her. Do you think everyone is like you? Your fists are like made of stone."

"Xiao Song didn't say anything. Do you think he is made of tofu?" Father Wang refused.

"But you can't just touch him as soon as you meet him!" What should she do if she scares away the son-in-law she likes?
"You women don't understand our world as men, so don't interrupt," said Wang's father.

Wang Yue saw that the two people were talking endlessly, so she reminded them: "Didn't Dad say to go inside? If you have anything to say, go inside and talk. Don't block the door. Everyone is watching."

"What room are we going into? Let's go straight home." said Aunt Wang.

"Yeah, let's just go." Father Wang strode to drive the car.

"Mom, have you hired anyone to guard here?" Wang Yue asked.

"What?" Wang Ma didn't understand.

"I asked, have you hired anyone to look after the store?"

"Why hire anyone? We're not making any money. Why would we hire anyone?"

"Then you just leave without saying goodbye? Are you going to send us back and my dad will come back?" If that's the case, we might as well take a taxi!

"I'm not coming back. There's nothing valuable in this room. Just leave it here." Aunt Wang said indifferently.

"No matter how worthless it is, the store door cannot be left wide open like this! And you haven't collected the table money yet!" Wang Yue asked.

"It's okay. After they finish playing, the last person to leave will close the door, and they will transfer the table money to me. Even if new customers come, they will transfer the money to me." Aunt Wang explained.

"Wow! It's so comfortable to be the manager of your shop! It's almost self-service! Customers can take care of everything. Except that it doesn't make much money, there is no better shop than this." Wang Yue was shocked that being the manager of a shop could be so comfortable.

"Your dad said that he had worried enough in his life and didn't want to worry anymore, so we didn't plan to open a better store from the beginning. It's much better this way we can just watch and play every day." Mother Wang said.

"Mom, you're only a few months away from turning 50. Is it okay to start retirement so early?" Wang Yue wanted to complain when she saw her mother, who looked like her sister, starting retirement at such a young age.

"What? You don't want to support me anymore."

"No, I'm just worried that you'll be bored, hanging around in a mahjong parlor every day, and fussing over trivial matters. Will that wear down your will? I'm worried about you guys."

"You don't need to worry about my future. The money you earn is enough for you. I just hope you can live more comfortably." This is what Wang Yue wanted to say for a long time.
