Chapter Seventy Moving Together
The watermelon I just bought from outside is not only not cold, but it's actually a little hot.
Bi Lizhu cut off a portion and put it in the refrigerator, then covered the rest and put it in the kitchen.
The refrigerator at home is really small.
Such a big watermelon is not easy to put down even after being cut in half.
Once the whole family was seated, Bi Lizhu glanced at her husband and finally decided to be patient.
This morning we received the first payment for the demolition compensation. When the siblings got together, the topic inevitably came up.
Especially when An Songxiang still felt a little wronged.
An Songyu and An Jianping both felt somewhat helpless as they glanced at An Songxiang, who had brought up the topic again.
An Songlin and his wife, however, did not think much of it.
After his younger sister mentioned it, he put down the half-finished glass of warm water, pondered for a moment, and then solemnly addressed his family:
"Dad, Mom, and Ah Yu, Ah Xiang."
"This morning, my aunt, my mother, and two other aunts went to Happiness Garden with me."
"We bought a 100-square-meter apartment in the same building together."
"Each set costs around 200,000 yuan."
An Songlin paused briefly at this point.
His gaze fell on the faces of his family members.
Seeing that her father wasn't surprised at all, it was clear that the two of them had discussed this matter.
I didn't see anything unusual on the faces of my two younger sisters either.
Although Ah Xiang seemed to be pouting, she didn't seem too resentful.
He let go of his last worry.
He couldn't help but smile and squeeze his wife's hand.
Xuan Ying became somewhat nervous as soon as her husband started speaking.
But seeing the reaction of her in-laws after hearing about it, she believed even more the assurances her husband had given her on the way.
An Songxiang, sitting opposite the couple, was getting impatient.
Why did her brother specifically mention this?
I want to tell everyone that it's what he deserves, right?
Yes, that's exactly what he deserves.
But couldn't her mother be a little more open and aboveboard?
If I tell them I want to buy this house, how can they object?
An Songxiang couldn't hold back any longer and was about to speak up.
An Songlin's voice rang out again: "The houses in Happiness Garden are duplexes."
"A 100-square-meter house actually has a usable area of over 160 square meters."
"There are about five or six rooms on the first and second floors combined."
"Logically speaking, this house should be big enough for our whole family to live in."
"only……"
"Wait!" An Songxiang suddenly raised her hand, interrupting An Songlin, and then asked with a strange expression:
"A whole family? Brother, you mean we should move in with them too?"
An Songlin was taken aback, and asked, somewhat bewildered, "Then you don't want to move?"
"Why? The new house is close to the park, so your commute to work won't be much farther!"
"Besides, don't you like to sleep quietly?"
"The new house will definitely be quieter than the residential area."
"Also, Ah Xiang and Ah Yu, you will each have your own room from now on."
By the end, An Songlin was also quite excited.
That's what An Songyu and her sister found hard to understand.
The two looked at each other for a moment before An Songyu asked hesitantly:
"Brother, are you so happy that we each have our own rooms?"
“Of course!” An Songlin nodded affirmatively: “Before, there weren’t many rooms in the house, so I lived alone in one room.”
"You two sisters have always lived together since you were little."
"They still live in bunk beds."
"I was thinking, why don't you switch rooms with me?"
"At least the space is larger."
"But my parents have been thinking far ahead; they've been wanting me to get married for a long time."
"It would be even worse to ask you to move rooms later."
"So, from childhood to adulthood, even though I've lived alone, my room is bigger than both of yours."
The more An Songlin talked about it, the more ashamed he felt.
The An sisters' feelings were even more complicated.
"So, you're letting us move in with you?" An Songxiang murmured softly.
"What?" An Songlin didn't quite hear clearly.
But An Songxiang shook her head slightly, unwilling to repeat herself.
Xuan Ying, who was standing nearby, had better hearing and quickly replied, "Ah Xiang, the house was bought by my parents."
"When we move, the whole family will definitely move together!"
"I heard that the house will have an inner-building section. Ah Yu and Ah Xiang, you can choose to live on the first floor if you like, or on the second floor if you like."
"By the way, we have plenty of rooms at home, so we'll invite Grandpa and Grandma to come and stay with us too."
Xuan Ying said this last sentence to her parents-in-law.
On the way back, her husband talked a lot.
For example, with so many rooms in the house, we should let her parents stay with us more often during holidays and festivals.
And since my brother and sister are coming over, they can also have a great time playing.
If you're tired or drunk, there's no need to rush home; there's always a place to entertain guests at home.
Bi Lizhu secretly nudged her husband. She knew it!
The eldest son and his wife are already adults and know how to take charge of the household.
Look how well this was done!
Although Bi Lizhu never thought about moving her whole family there.
But her son and daughter-in-law's attitude warmed her heart.
An Songxiang turned her head awkwardly, just in time to see her sister smiling at her.
She couldn't help but twist her sister's hand.
All right……
She never actually felt that her brother and sister-in-law were bad.
It's just that I'm angry at my mother's attitude.
An Songlin found the sudden change in the atmosphere among his family strange, but he hadn't finished speaking yet!
So he quickly coughed lightly to get his family's attention.
Only then did he speak with utmost seriousness: "Dad, Mom, Ayu, Axiang!"
"After visiting the Happiness Home today, I suddenly had an idea."
"Do you think the house can generate some income for us besides being used for our own residence?"
At this point, An Songlin also felt a little embarrassed.
He gathered his thoughts briefly before continuing:
“For a while now… ever since I heard about the demolition, I’ve been thinking about a lot of things.”
"For example, how much compensation will our family receive for the demolition?"
"So what should we do with this compensation money after we receive it?"
"And then there's the matter of making money."
In the end, An Songlin's gaze towards his parents carried a hint of probing.
To talk about this idea of making money.
Before this year, An Songlin could not be said to have none.
But basically, apart from his own work and the extra work he learned from his father, he really didn't have any other ideas.
Even so, An Songlin felt that his ideas were already quite different from others.
After all, it's the people around him.
Many people, aside from working, aren't particularly short of money and have never even considered such a thing!
But everything this year has given An Songlin far too much of a shock.
Regardless of the initial reason, the family didn't have enough money to buy a wedding house.
Later, they took out a loan to invest in the village.
Or it might be a recent demolition!
In short, this completely changed An Songlin's thinking.
