When Xia Juaner heard that they were going to move into a bigger house next year, she took Xia Ruzheng's hand and whispered, "Then we still shouldn't move in."
It’s so nasty to always stay in someone else’s house!
Xia Ruzheng didn't think so. After all, the child was still young, and she believed in the character of Wen Zhichao and Xia Juaner. They wouldn't cause any trouble. However, they didn't want to live here, so she couldn't force them. After thinking about it, she said, "How about this! You renew the lease of this house. The two rooms are very convenient for you and your daughter. It's also close to us. I feel at ease."
Xia Juaner felt a little sorry about the rent, but still nodded.
Tian Nier arrived and heard that Xia Ruzheng was moving to his own house, but Xia Juaner and her mother lived here. Her eyes immediately lit up: "Juaner, you don't know! Renting this house is a real bargain! It's much cheaper than other people's houses. The one next door to you is only 20 yuan a month, and I heard the rent will increase next year! Your place is only a dozen yuan, and the house is great, the location is great, it's a real bargain!"
Xia Juaner was surprised. She didn't expect that this house was so cheap.
Xia Ruzheng said, "It's true that Grandma Liu and Grandpa An are kind-hearted. If they weren't afraid of loneliness, they wouldn't have rented out the house. The two old people are not short of money, so why would they argue over a few dollars every month?"
When Xia Juaner thought about the furnishings in the old man's house opposite, not to mention the electrical appliances, the old furniture all looked very exquisite. She didn't understand much, but she could tell by looking at it that it must be the work of a master craftsman.
Moreover, the old lady can dance. The old man heard that those who build houses for people only need to write and draw, and do not have to go to the construction site. She is also a university professor. With such a high status, her family must be well-off.
Xia Juaner said, "I'm also grateful to Zheng Zheng, otherwise why would they rent it to me?"
"Don't thank me, the old man really likes Nini. He said she's good at math. If you want to thank someone, thank your daughter!"
Ni'er is indeed good at math. The baby is already very smart, but Ni'er's reaction in math still needs to be faster. Xia Ruzheng also has to sigh that there is no limit to genius.
Tian Nier looked at the children of the two families and felt a headache when she thought about her own child who was still a troublemaker in her hometown. Then she looked at these children in the city, who were good at studying, clean, polite and sensible. Would it be better to bring them to the city?
In the city, there are many difficulties not found in the countryside, such as the cash-based temporary residence permit system. Like the family planning system, it's implemented with absolutely no mercy. They can wake you up in the middle of the night for a checkup, and if you're not in the know, you'd think you've committed a serious crime! If you argue with them, they'll tear up your temporary residence permit on the spot, claiming you didn't apply for it, and send you home.
This is also a helpless move. Originally, because too many people flocked to the cities, and there were concerns that it would be difficult to manage and cause chaos, so such a system was introduced. The trigger point was good, but no one expected that the people below would cause all kinds of unreasonable things when implementing it.
Xia Ruzheng and Wen Zhichao were not in trouble because of their identities as Grandpa An and Grandma Liu, and because of the relationship they gradually established. Tian Nier was different. She had been bullied, but she was honest, so she was not in trouble much.
Tian Nier and Tian Dazhuang also didn't want their children to know about this, so they didn't dare to bring the children over.
On New Year's Eve, Xia Ruzheng, the chef, and Xia Juaner, the assistant, prepared a large table of dishes, which delighted everyone.
When outsiders see this table of people happily watching TV and eating the New Year's Eve dinner, they will definitely think that it is the parents, son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren having a reunion dinner together. In fact, it is three families.
After dinner, the table was cleared and the elders coaxed the children to perform.
The baby has a lively personality and quickly took up dancing. After about two years of teaching by Grandma Liu, the baby's dancing is now very impressive. He does not have the sluggishness and awkwardness of other children, nor the uncoordinated movements due to his young age. Instead, he looks very good.
Then Ni'er went up and sang a song. Her face was red and she was very embarrassed, but she still sang the song completely.
Unexpectedly, the most surprising one was Dudu. Although he had a cold face, he did not hesitate when he was asked to go up. He just recited a long poem, Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing". It was amazing that such a young child could recite it clearly.
Xia Ruzheng and Wen Zhichao secretly exchanged glances, and the feeling of seeing Dudu walking for the first time came back to them. It was such a shock!
Grandpa An applauded loudly after hearing it: "I never thought that he would remember it after I read it with him two or three times."
