Chapter 238: Hit

Jian Yi and his companions got off the bus and walked for a while before reaching Fuxing Lane. After entering Fuxing Lane, they were a little confused when they saw the big houses.

"This place used to be full of wealthy families, right?" Zhao Yi exclaimed.

"They used to be a wealthy family, but now they live together in groups and mixed communities." Mo Mingyang said firmly.

"This place looks very grand. It's okay to live in groups or mixed groups. I don't mind. It must be very impressive to live in it. I wonder which household Lin Qi and the others live in. Is the house special?" Zhao Yi's tone was full of yearning.

"Number 8, it's just in front." Jian Tong knew Lin Qi's home address by heart.

Soon, they stopped outside the gate of Lin Qi's house.

"This door is very big and new, but there are no steps. It's a slope, which is a bit weird." Zhao Yi muttered.

Jian Tongyi holds a different view. "It's better to have no steps. You don't have to climb stairs, and it's convenient for bicycles to get in and out."

After saying that, Jane started knocking on the door.

Today happened to be the weekend, and all seven children were at home. When they heard the knock on the door, the seventh child took the initiative to say, "I'll go open the door."

The seventh brother ran all the way, opened the door and saw so many people, he closed the door again and shouted to the house, "Mom, there are so many people here."

There are some things at home that cannot be known to outsiders. When he shouts like this, mom should know to put things away, right?

Lao Qi used his small body to hold the door against the wall to prevent people outside from pushing it open.

Jian Tongyi, who was outside the door, was also a little confused. "Lin Qi's child should be nine years old this year, right? Wasn't the one just now a little young?"

"There is more than one family living here. Maybe it's someone else's child," said Ma Guizhi.

Jian Tong thought the same thing, "It shouldn't be Lin Qi's child. But the child is really pretty."

"Uncle and aunt, you are wrong. I am my mother's child." Lao Qi said behind the door.

"Is your mother's name Lin Qi?" Jian Yitong asked.

"Yes, it's Lin Qi. Do you know my mother?" Lao Qi looked at his mother who was walking towards him, and thought that in a few years, people outside would probably say that he and his mother were siblings.

"Your mother and I are friends. Little boy, how old are you?" Jane Tongyi asked again.

"Five years old." replied the seventh brother.

Jian Yitong looked at Ming Kangjian and the others outside the door, "I write to her almost every month, but she didn't even tell me when she had a child."

Ming Kangjian and others looked at Lin Qi with sympathy.

The next second, the door opened.

silence.

The people outside the door looked at the people inside in shock, their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

Lin Qi inside the door was also looking at the people outside. It had been nearly ten years since they last met. Jian Tong and the others had changed a lot. They looked older, more experienced, and their temperament had changed a lot.

"Are you Lin Qi? Not Lin Qi's daughter?" Jian Tongyi spoke with difficulty, his eyes moist and his nose a little sore. For some reason, he felt like crying.

Lin Qi rolled her eyes and asked, "How can my nine-year-old daughter grow that big?"

As she spoke, Lin Qi opened the door a little, "Come in."

Jian Tongyi walked in first, but his eyes were still fixed on Lin Qi. Before Lin Qi could say anything, Lao Qi said, "Uncle, it's rude to keep staring at others."

Jian Yitong looked at the seventh brother and said, "Lin Qi, you gave birth to another son without telling me?"

"Is there anything to say about this?" Lin Qi asked calmly.

Jian Yitong's mouth twitched, "I brought gifts for my nephews and nieces, but I only brought four."

"Then you can make up for it next time, three times." Lin Qi said, and explained, "I gave birth to another baby, triplets."

Jane Tongyi: “..........”

Others: “….”

How do you get pregnant with four or three children at any time?

After Jian Tong and others came in, they looked at Lin Qi for a while, then at Lin Qi's seven children, and their eyes were not enough to take it all in.

How come this family looks so good!

"Lin Qi, this place is so big, why are there only a few houses?" Ma Guizhi asked curiously. Besides, this place is not as crowded, dirty and messy as rumored. Isn't it said that a group of people live in an alley or a courtyard and the environment is very bad?

“When we first moved in, some rooms were rotten, so we tore them down,” Lin Qi said.

"Demolished? Can it be demolished casually?" Ma Guizhi became even more curious.

Jian Yi glanced at Ma Guizhi and said, "If it's your own house, then no one will say anything if you demolish it."

"This is not Lin Qi's house alone." Ma Guizhi muttered to herself.

"This house belongs to my mother. Even if my father has a share in it, my father has to obey whatever my mother says and he won't refute it." Lao Qi glared at Ma Guizhi. He didn't like this aunt.

Ma Guizhi's expression froze, and she said in disbelief, "Lin Qi, this big house belongs to you and Xu Hexiao?"

"Yes, ours." Lin Qi said calmly, leading them to the living room, "Find a seat for yourself. What would you like to drink, sugar water or tea?"

"I'm fine with either. Just do whatever you want." Jian Yitong said.

No one else responded, still immersed in the shock that Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao had a big house in the central area of ​​the capital.

"How come you have such a big house?" Ma Guizhi felt very unwilling. She thought she had been admitted to a top ten university in the country and was finally better than Lin Qi. She didn't expect that Lin Qi actually had such a big house in such a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

Even if she graduated from college, she couldn't afford such a big house!

Besides, she is 32 years old, and she has nothing except the university she was admitted to. Unlike Lin Qi, she has a house, a husband, and seven beautiful and lovely children!

Lin Qi did not answer Ma Guizhi's question. Old Seven looked at Ma Guizhi, whose face changed, and said, "We have more than one big house. The big house at the end of this alley is also ours. My dad is there now, building a house with everyone."

"Another set?" This time, Jian Tongyi was also not calm.

"Yes, I just bought it a few months ago." Lin Qi looked at the four older ones, "Go call dad back and tell him that some friends from the Anliang Brigade are coming to visit."

"Okay, Mom." Xu Boxi agreed.

"Can we go and take a look together?" Jane Tongyi asked.

"Sure, it's not far, just five minutes' walk."

Jian Yi and others were curious about the big house that Lao Qi mentioned, so they all followed Xu Boxi out.

Nine-year-old Xu Boxi is about 1.4 meters tall, has short hair, a straight back, bright and sharp eyes, and is very heroic.

"Niece, what grade are you in this year?" Jian Yitong asked.

"I'm not in school." Xu Bo was very careful with his words.

"Not attending classes in school? Why? It's not good to not let a child of this age go to class, right?" Ma Guizhi was shocked, with disapproval in her eyes.

Xu Boxi glanced at Ma Guizhi, "Are you really my parents' friend?"

"Huh? Why do you ask?" Ma Guizhi found that the girl's eyes made her extremely uncomfortable, as if she was seen through.

But what does a little girl know?

"Because your attitude has been wrong since you entered my house." Xu Boxi said coldly.

"I'm just curious, what's wrong with asking a few more questions? And no matter who it is, they would find it strange to hear that a nine-year-old child doesn't go to school. Your parents didn't let you go to school because you are a girl?" Many girls do not have the opportunity to go to school, and this situation is especially common in rural areas.

Xu Boxi was puzzled, "Why can't I go to school because I'm a girl? No child in my family goes to school."

"Ah? Why don't all of them go to school?" If they can afford such a big house, it doesn't make sense that they can't afford to send their children to school. Mo Mingyang was puzzled. Lin Qi didn't look like someone who didn't value education, as she was able to tell them the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in advance and send them the materials.

"Because we are in the military camp, we don't have time to go to school." Xu Boxi said.

"You are in the military camp? Why?" Mo Mingyang became even more curious.

"This is a secret. The instructor said we can't mention it to anyone else." Xu Boxi said with a serious face.

Jian Tong and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't find it strange, but they felt that something was wrong.

Xu Hexiao hired workers, and he served as a supervisor while participating in the construction. Zhao Shu also came to help after breakfast. Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao had advised him, fearing that he would be tired. But he said that he was retired and would feel uncomfortable if he was idle every day. He came here every day to help and chat with the workers, which was not tiring and could also kill time.

After Zhao Shu said this, Xu Hexiao and Lin Qi had no choice but to let him go. However, Xu Hexiao kept an eye on him every day and did not let him do any heavy work.

The house of more than 6,000 square meters, with all the houses demolished, looked very empty. After entering the door, Jian Yi and others were shocked again.

"Dad, Mom told you to go home because there are guests at home." Xu Boxi shouted from a distance.

Xu Hexiao, who was working, turned around, looked towards the door, and replied to his daughter, "Okay, Dad will be back soon."

Xu Hexiao washed his hands and walked towards Jian Yi and the others, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Jian Tongyi answered in a daze. Ten years had passed, and Xu Hexiao hadn't changed at all.

He was extremely jealous!

Everyone present was extremely jealous!

The two sides looked at each other, and Xu Hexiao felt a little proud in his heart. His former rival in love has grown old!

A group of people walked out of the house, each with mixed emotions in their hearts, and for a moment, no one spoke.

After a while, Ming Kangjian asked, "I heard from Lin Qi that you bought this house. Is it expensive?"

"Two hundred and eighty thousand. The original owner was going abroad, and when we heard that the house was for sale, we decided to buy it. Housing is tight in the capital right now, so you need luck to buy a house." Xu Hexiao said calmly.

Ming Kangjian was so shocked by the 280,000 that he was speechless, and so were the others.

How much is two hundred and eighty thousand?

They don't even have ten thousand, no, they don't even have a thousand.

Faced with the huge gap, Ming Kangjian was devastated and began to doubt his life.

So they fell silent again.
