The next morning, Wang Zhaozhao and his friends went to the county town together.

After Qiao Li became pregnant, she went back to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year and basically stayed in Hebian Village.

Wang Zhaozhao was so worried about Qiao Li that she forgot about her motion sickness. She only realized it after getting off the car and felt a little uncomfortable.

I went to the hospital for a check-up first. It took me two hours to go back and forth several times.

After coming out of the hospital, Xie Ailian kept chattering, asking Wang Sibing to take Qiao Li out for dinner and buy a few big meat buns for her, Wang Dahai and Wang Zhaozhao.

"Grandma, I want to eat. Let's go eat. I'll treat you to lunch...ah..."

Wang Zhaozhao was criticized again.

"Where did this bad habit come from? You always ask me to treat you. I really want to slap you." Xie Ailian was so disappointed that she poked her head again.

Wang Zhaozhao pouted, "If you weren't so stingy, I... Ouch, ouch, grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Submitting to Xie Ailian's tyranny by pulling her ears, Wang Zhaozhao begged for mercy repeatedly.

Wang Sibing watched the excitement for a while before speaking, "Let's not go to the state-owned restaurant. I'll take you somewhere."

Wang Zhaozhao remembered that they once went to a "black noodle restaurant" and thought it would be the same this time.

Oh, it shouldn’t be a black noodle shop now.

"Uncle Si, can I open my own shop now?" Wang Zhaozhao asked Wang Sibing on the way.

She couldn't remember the year when self-employed individuals began to appear, but it seemed that many things were marked by the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Of course, it is also possible that she only remembers the major event of the college entrance examination.

"Opening shops doesn't seem to be obvious yet, but setting up stalls and doing small business is definitely open."

"Are we not going to crack down on speculation and profiteering anymore?" Xie Ailian asked curiously.

"I haven't caught them for a long time. Mom, are you interested in doing business?"

"No! I can't do that."

Xie Ailian answered without thinking, and Wang Sibing didn't say anything else.

They walked for a while, but still hadn't arrived. Xie Ailian glared at Wang Sibing, "Your wife is pregnant, don't you know what's going on? You're not tired after walking this far, but I am."

"We're almost there, just one more turn ahead..."

Wang Sibing kept smiling at Qiao Li.

After walking for about 10 minutes, they stopped in front of a courtyard gate.

"Fourth Uncle, this place looks a bit shabby?" Wang Zhaozhao felt that it didn't look like there was any food to eat here.

Even if it was a black restaurant in the past, this one is too remote and shabby.

And it's clearly a lock on the door... Hmm? A lock?

Just as Wang Zhaozhao was about to have an idea, he saw Wang Sibing take out a key from his pocket and go forward to open the door.

Ah...this?

As Wang Zhaozhao and the others stared in amazement, Wang Sibing unlocked the door, pushed it open, turned around and gestured to them, "Everyone, please come in."

Xie Ailian looked suspicious, "How do you have the key here? Is this a house or is it rented?"

Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”

Milk, do you dare to be bold and make a guess and buy it?

"Uncle, how could you buy such a yard?" She was very excited.

"What?" Xie Ailian jumped up.

Wang Sibing quickly pulled her back and said to Wang Zhaozhao, Qiao Li, and Wang Dahai, "Go in first, and we'll talk about it later."

The yard is even more dilapidated than it looks from the outside.

Not only was there grass growing on both sides, but there was also a house in ruins.

"I just got the key yesterday and haven't had time to clean up. Hehe, I brought you here today, not only to show you the way, but also to clean up." Wang Sibing chuckled.

He quickly brought a bench, wiped it with his sleeve, and helped Qiao Li sit down first.

Then he said to Xie Ailian, "Mom, I've probably cleaned up the kitchen and bought some rice and vegetables. Can we have lunch here?"

Xie Ailian suppressed her temper and worked hard for the entire morning. It was getting late, so she decided to have lunch first!

"Be careful!" After saying this harshly, she went to the kitchen.

Wang Zhaozhao wanted to go and help light the fire, but was driven out with great disgust.

She was very nimble and skillful, and having Wang Zhaozhao around would only make her feel like a hindrance.

Wang Sibing had anticipated this and threw a bucket and a rag to her, asking her to wipe the tables and chairs first so that they would be useful for dinner later.

Wang Dahai has already started working. He is cleaning up the collapsed house and will make some preparations when he returns to the village. Tomorrow, Wang Sibing will return to the factory to work and can bring some things with him.

Lunch was soon served: a dish of stir-fried pork with chili peppers and a dish of tender pumpkin.

Wang Zhaozhao ate three bowls of rice.

After eating, Xie Ailian began to interrogate Wang Sibing.

"It just so happened that a friend of mine knew that I was looking for a house. And one of his friends knew the owner of this house and knew that it was for sale, so he acted as a matchmaker." Wang Sibing said it lightly.

"If he wants to sell it and you want to buy it, that's it. But what about the money? You can't buy it with a few hundred dollars, right?" After cooking a meal and eating it, Xie Ailian has accepted this matter.

"He originally wanted to sell it for 1,200 yuan, but after two transactions and giving that friend some face, he sold it to me for 1,000 yuan." Wang Sibing answered honestly, "I definitely couldn't come up with 1,000 yuan all at once, so I borrowed some from a friend."

Xie Ailian had nothing much to say about this. Although one thousand yuan was a lot, it was in the county town after all. As for borrowing money, she had to pay it back. What else could she do?

She now had only one question left: "Why did that man want to sell this yard? Did you find out?"

This is very important.

"This yard was taken away and returned last year. Something happened before that, and after that person got a job, he moved into the dormitory. Now there's an opportunity to get a house, so he wants to sell this place, add some money to it, and get a better share."

After listening to Wang Sibing's explanation, Xie Ailian felt relieved.

The yard would be taken away and then returned. It must have been knocked down at that time. That was quite miserable. I can totally understand that they didn't want to live here anymore.

Wang Zhaozhao took the opportunity to chime in, "Fourth Uncle, from now on you'll own a house in the city and be a city dweller."

"Do you want to be a city dweller?" Wang Sibing asked her with a smile.

"I'm fine. I'm a scholar now anyway."

"Yes, you will go to college in the future."

“That’s a must!”

Wang Zhaozhao shook her head proudly.

After figuring it out, Xie Ailian took Wang Dahai to look around the place inside and out.

"This yard is quite large. Once it's fixed up, it will be spacious enough for you two, the children, and Miss Zhao to live in."

Back in the front yard, Xie Ailian expressed her satisfaction.

Wang Zhaozhao was shocked. "Uncle Si, Aunt Si, you...you don't want to bring grandpa and grandma to live in the county? Then I won't live in the county anymore. I'll live with grandpa and grandma."

Wang Sibing: “……!”

Qiao Li: “……!”

Do you dare to act more realistically?
