Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Grandma? Why are you coming to Guangzhou again?"

Early in the morning, Er Lao just got up and heard someone knocking on the door. He went out to open the door, and it turned out to be Zhuan. Er Lao said something jokingly.

"Why are you here to play again? This is my home, I can look around if I want." Ah Zhuan handed the luggage in his hand to the second brother and said as he walked in.

"Grandma, you're back? Have you eaten? We're just about to have breakfast, come in and eat together?" The maid heard the voice and came out and said with a smile.

Ah Zhuan waved his hand and said, "No, I'm learning ballet recently and I want to lose weight."

"Learn ballet?" The second brother was surprised.

"What's so strange about that?" Ah Zhuan turned around and looked at the puzzled Er Lao and said, "I came back here specifically to attend a ballet training class."

Kang Qirui was about to go to work after breakfast. When he heard that she had come back to learn ballet, he smiled and said, "Grandma, you are over 60 years old, and you are still learning ballet? That's sharp. You can learn as long as you live."

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" My father also came out.

"Tsk, blame others. If they want to laugh, then laugh. The most important thing for me is to be happy." Ah Zhuan said calmly. It has to be said that her attitude towards life is worth learning from.

But Er Lao didn't think so. He frowned and said, "I think my uncle is right. As the saying goes, face is given by others, but it is lost by oneself. I think old people should do old people's things, such as drinking tea, reading newspapers, raising birds, playing chess, etc. I think my uncle's mother is a role model for old people."

"How can you compare your mother to me?" A Zhuan pointed at Er Lao and said, "She is a daughter-in-law of the old society, and I am a woman of the new era."

"Wow, you counted wrong, grandma. You said my mother was a daughter-in-law in the old society, but you are someone else's mother-in-law. How can it be the new society?" The second brother naturally did not agree with A Zhuan's statement.

"I'm talking about thoughts," Ah Zhuan pointed at his head. Kang Qirui didn't want them to continue arguing, so he changed the subject and said, "Grandma, you can also learn ballet in Hong Kong. Why do you have to come back to Guangzhou to learn it?"

The second brother also became curious and stopped arguing with her, waiting for her answer. Ah Zhuan smiled and said, "I also want to study in Hong Kong, but my teacher must go back to the mainland. I was in Shenzhen a while ago and recently a Cantonese teacher came, so I have to come back."

"Why do you like your dance teacher so much? Your teacher followed her here from Hong Kong, and you followed her here too?" The second brother became even more curious after hearing this.

Not only the second brother, but even the mother was very curious. She asked, "Grandma, why did you follow him to learn with so many dance teachers?"

"There are many teachers, but he is the only one so talented. As the saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. If I want to learn dancing, of course I have to find the best teacher." Ah Zhuan said with a smile. After that, she stood up and said goodbye to everyone, saying that she was going to class.

When she returned to Kang's house after class, Su's father and mother were already sitting in the living room. As soon as he saw her come in, Su's father stood up and greeted her, "Grandma, I know you're in Guangzhou, and we two came here to visit you."

Because of the real estate speculation, the relationship between Su's father and mother and the Kang family was a little broken. This time, as soon as they heard that the Queen Mother of the Kang family had returned, they hurried to visit her to show their sincerity in taking the initiative to repair the relationship.

"You are so thoughtful." When Ah Zhuan saw the gifts they placed on the table, he immediately smiled.

"What do you mean by thoughtful? We have settled down in Guangzhou now. Of course we have to come and visit you when you come back. And it's just a little souvenir." Su's mother pushed the gift on the table in the direction of A Zhuan.

"Thank you very much." Ah Zhuan nodded, and then said firmly: "You are so thoughtful, I have to give you something good." She took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Su's mother.

Su's mother took it and looked at it. "Little Swan Ballet Training Class?" It turned out to be a registration form. She laughed and said, "What am I going to do here?"

"What? I asked you to sign up." Ah Zhuan said seriously, "After you learn this, I promise you will be healthy, energetic, and have a good temperament. You will be at least ten years younger."

"We are all in our forties, bald, loose-toothed, bent-backed, and thin-armed. How do you think we can dance ballet?" Father Su waved his hand and said with a smile, "We can just practice Tai Chi."

"My dear father-in-law, that's not what you mean." The maid came out after making some tea and said, "Our grandmother is also in her forties, doesn't she dance the same way?"

"You came just in time. This form is for you." Ah Zhuan also gave the mother a registration form. The mother was just trying to persuade others, but when it was her turn, she said, "Oh, little grandma, aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm already in my forties and my bones are all swollen. It's easy to break a bone."

Ah Zhuan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you just learn ballet moves? Then you don't have to stand on tiptoe. It's easier than Tai Chi. You can sign up with your in-laws."

Seeing Ah Zhuan's active promotion, Su's mother hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Did you open this class?" Ah Zhuan was stunned for a moment and denied it, "I didn't open this class, but I admire the dance teacher of this class. My teacher is really talented, otherwise why would I chase her all the way from Hong Kong to Guangzhou? You should just support my teacher."

Su's mother finally agreed. She didn't really want to learn ballet, but she wanted to repair her relationship with the Kang family, so she followed A Zhuan's wishes. She not only signed up for herself, but also for her mother.

"Grandma, actually I also like to dance ballet. I have always envied those who can walk on tiptoes since I was a child. Why don't you fulfill my wish and let me sign up as well?" During dinner, Xianglan heard that her mother had signed up, and she also wanted to sign up.

"And me." The second sister-in-law also joined in the fun, "Since grandma can sign up, let's sign up too. Because we are young, we learn quickly."

But in the end, Ah Zhuan shook his head and rejected them. Ah Zhuan said, "It is because you are young that you are not eligible to sign up."

Zhu Wanling wanted to sign up, but Ah Zhuan refused before she even said it, so she frowned and asked, "No way? People say that you should learn things when you are young, so why are you less eligible to sign up when you are younger?"

"Because my teacher doesn't like to teach young people, he only likes to teach older people." A Zhuan explained.

"Why? Your teacher is really perverted." said the second brother.

"He said that old people are more diligent and eager to learn than young people." Ah Zhuan waved his hand and said, "By the way, do we have any older neighbors? Should we ask them to sign up as well?"

Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling looked at each other. When Zhu Wanling was about to help Mrs. Zhu register, Kang Qirui stopped her and said, "Grandma, you said your teacher is so good, but that can't be empty talk, right?"

"Okay, then I'll bring him back tomorrow to show everyone what ballet is." Ah Zhuan thought for a moment and said, "But you have to help me gather people around here who are over 60 and under 70 years old."

The next day at noon, Ah Zhuan brought back a fat, big-eared man in his fifties. "Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Jackey, the teacher of Little Swan Ballet Training Class. Jackey is also my boyfriend."

"Of course he is a man. If you say he is a woman, no one will believe it." The boss said slowly, and then reacted, "Boyfriend?"

"Yes." A Zhuan nodded.

"Is it the kind of dating relationship?" asked the second sister-in-law.

"That's right, aren't we a perfect match?" Ah Zhuan said with a smile, "Our friends all say that Jackey and I look like a perfect couple."

Everyone was silent, and Kang Qirui also remembered who this Jackey was. He thought for a moment and asked, "Jackey, I see that you are more than ten years older than my grandmother. What do you like about her?"

"Actually, age is not a problem. The key is that we have a good understanding of each other." Jackey said greasyly, and then he looked at his grandmother affectionately.

"By the way, where are the people I asked you to gather? Why are there only a few of you?" Ah Zhuan asked puzzledly.

"Grandma, your course costs 3,000 yuan. Which old person would spend that much money to learn ballet?" Kang Qirui said helplessly, and then said to Jackey: "You also saw that my grandma can't help you recruit students. Do you still like her?"

Ah Zhuan got angry when she heard this. She pointed at Kang Qirui and said, "Ah Rui, what do you mean by that? You are being disrespectful, don't you know that?"

Kang Qirui glanced at Ah Zhuan calmly and said, "Grandma, you and him are not as rich as you told us before, are you?"

Ah Zhuan was embarrassed all of a sudden. She stuttered, "I, I." Jackey, who was standing beside her, was also surprised when he saw her like this: "So you don't have any money?"

"No, Jackey, listen to me. I was just bragging before because I wanted to save face. I didn't mean to lie to you. Besides, I think it doesn't matter whether there is money or not. It's enough for us to have a tacit understanding like you said." Ah Zhuan said in a panic.

Jackey was furious and said angrily: "If you don't have money, who can understand you? Don't you see how old you are? You still have understanding with me? Bah!" After saying that, he ran away so fast that no one could react.

If he doesn't run away, the Kang family will beat him.

Everyone comforted the sad Ah Zhuan and helped her back to her room to rest. Er Lao asked curiously, "How did you know that Jackey was suspicious, handsome boy?"

"Does he look like the ballet dancer my grandma always said he was so self-reliant?" Kang Qirui smiled and said, "With his fat head and big ears, he still wants to dance ballet? Can he stand on his tiptoes?" (End of this chapter)
