Pan Gui mustered his courage and said:
"Grandma, I went to Aunt Wang's house today. Three educated youth sisters wanted to rent a house from her until May Day so they could build it themselves. Guess what Aunt Wang said?"
"She wants to keep someone's stove and large ladle as rent. Don't you think that's going too far?"
Grandma Bai, as if she could read minds, continued her sentence:
"You agreed to let them stay at our house?"
Pan Gui stared at her grandmother with her mouth wide open, as if to say, "How did Grandma know? Did Grandma follow behind her?"
Seeing Pan Gui's reaction, Grandma Bai knew she had guessed correctly. She disagreed, saying:
"Grandma can let you make decisions about other things, but not this!"
"They came with you? Grandma will go tell them!"
Pan Gui seemed a little downcast, and pulled his grandmother aside, saying:
"Grandma, you don't need to go. They know you probably won't agree, so they didn't come with me. They said they'd let me ask you first!"
Grandma Bai thought these three female educated youths were really good people. If it weren't for..., it wouldn't have been a bad thing for Pan Gui to get to know them better.
But for Grandma Bai, no one was more important than her husband and son than Pan Gui. Grandma Bai coldly replied to Pan Gui:
"Then why don't you go tell them it's not okay? What are you dawdling about here for?"
Knowing full well that she couldn't do it, she still made a promise without thinking. This was Pan Gui's fault, and she should handle it herself!
Pan Gui lowered his head and said:
"I understand, I'll tell Xia Zhiqing right away!"
Grandma Bai frowned when she heard the surname Xia and asked:
"Xia Zhiqing, her name is Xia Ning?"
Pan Gui exclaimed "Eh!"
"Grandma, how did you know!"
Grandma Bai not only knew about it, but she had also seen it. The last time she went to deliver something to Grandpa Ning and Ning Zhongliang, she saw a girl coming out of there.
Grandpa Ning didn't hide it from her; he said she was his granddaughter. The child was very stubborn and could have joined the army; the family had already made arrangements for her.
This girl secretly inquired about his whereabouts and actually managed to come here on her own!
This is a good child with a conscience. Grandma Bai still has a deep impression of Xia Ning!
Grandpa Ning was her husband's former boss. When her husband passed away, Grandpa Ning personally delivered his belongings back to her.
Over the years, many people, including Elder Ning, have taken good care of the grandmother and granddaughter.
She, an old widow, can't do much for others, but Old Man Ning is right under her nose. If she doesn't lend a hand, the old man will definitely blame her when they're underground!
If Xia Ning wants to stay, then that's not impossible!
The main thing is that this child has a good heart and can be taken care of. I look forward to his return.
Moreover, Old Master Ning's granddaughter is bold and won't cause any problems...
Grandma Bai looked up and said:
"They can move in; we won't charge them rent!"
Overjoyed at his return:
"Grandma, you're not just saying this out of anger, are you? You agree?"
Grandma Bai said irritably:
"Hurry up and go!"
Pan Gui ran out happily to tell Xia Ning and the others the good news!
Xia Ning and the other two never expected things to turn out this way; not only did they move out, they no longer had to stay at Aunt Wang's house!
Without hesitation, the three of them immediately started packing their things and followed Pan Gui to Grandma Bai's house with their luggage!
Grandma Bai has already cleaned up the empty rooms; they were the two rooms that the old man's eldest and second eldest brothers used to live in.
Ning's granddaughter often goes out to see Ning, and it wouldn't be good if others saw her, so we prepared an extra room for her to live in alone!
Grandma Bai used to clean, so I didn't need to tidy up. I just moved the things from the old room to my youngest son's room!
Aunt Wang had been following this matter closely, and was at home dreaming about Xia Ning begging her several times, when she learned the devastating news that Xia Ning had moved into Grandma Bai's house!
Granny Wang was so angry she was jumping up and down cursing at home! If it were anyone else, she would have gotten into a fight with them too!
But at Grandma Bai's house, even if she had eight times the courage, she wouldn't dare!
If she dares to mess with Grandma Bai, the farm can throw her out immediately, and the county's armed forces department can raze her family to the ground!
Let alone fighting with someone, even if she's just cursing, she can only do it at home. Once she goes out, she has to keep her tail between her legs and not dare to utter a single word!
The only one who still dares to plot is Bai Yueyao, who knows nothing about this!
Xia Ning and the other two moved out, and I heard they didn't even have to pay rent, which made Bai Yueyao very excited.
Immediately, he took the only 5 yuan he had left in his pocket and went to the commune to buy things.
After all, it's not good to ask someone for a favor empty-handed!
But she couldn't bear to spend the money, so she gritted her teeth and bought a pound of candy, asking them to make two portions!
He gritted his teeth, bought a bottle of wine, and came back with his things!
Bai Yueyao had already made the arrangements; a bag of sugar and a bottle of wine were for Director Wei's family.
She felt that the reason why Director Wei had been so cold to her before was mainly because she hadn't given him a gift. If she had given him a gift, his attitude would definitely have been different!
It's also her fault; she's too straightforward, unlike Zhong Wanwan who's obviously a natural at flattery!
The remaining bag of sugar was given to that villager's family.
I heard they were elderly people living alone on the farm and their granddaughter. They probably hadn't seen candy in years, so this is a real treat for them!
Bai Yueyao carried her things and first went to Tang Zixuan to express her true feelings. She was thinking of both of them!
Xia Ning is staying at that house, so they have to find a way to move in too!
Tang Zixuan was quite touched by Bai Yueyao's understanding nature and gave her a rare kind look!
The two of them went to Director Wei's house with full confidence.
Seeing the two men carrying things, Director Wei's expression darkened even more!
Farm Manager Wei, too lazy to argue with the two, asked directly:
"What's going on here? Stop beating around the bush and just say it!"
Bai Yueyao thought her gift had worked, and her disdain for Director Wei grew even stronger. She then made a request:
"Director Wei, Tang Zixuan and I are married and we want to move out of the educated youth compound!"
Director Wei supported this point, nodding in agreement.
"I agree to this. You can decide for yourselves whether to rent or build!"
Bai Yueyao, taking advantage of her kindness, said:
"Director Wei, it's like this, we're thinking of the house where Xia, the educated youth, stayed. I see there are still several empty rooms, right? We'd like to keep Xia company!"
Director Wei's face immediately fell, and he said coldly:
"You want to live in the Bai family's house? Do you even know who the Bai family is? What are those empty houses used for?"
