Hearing Xia Shige say this, Xia Guozhang's eyes lit up, and his voice rose an octave with excitement: "Really?!"
After being happy, Xia Guozhang felt a little uneasy again. He really felt embarrassed to borrow money from his niece.
So he rubbed his hands awkwardly and kept assuring her: "Niece, consider this money as a loan from you! When I make money in the future, I will definitely pay you back with interest!"
Xia Shige nodded and replied, "Okay."
In fact, this third uncle was very kind to Xia Shige before he went online to gamble.
When Xia Jianing returned to her hometown when she was a child, she brought a comic book with her. At that time, Xia Shige was just the age to read these picture books, but Xia Jianing refused to show it to her.
The third uncle saw that Xia Shige was envious, so he bought her a set of comic books and coaxed her, saying, "Other little girls should have them, and our little Shige should have them too. When the third uncle makes money in the future, he will buy more toys and skirts for our little Shige!"
At that time, Third Uncle looked at Xia Shige with a doting look on his face, which made Xia Shige feel warm in his heart.
Every time Xia Shige recalled these past events, he would feel deeply moved. It would have been great if his third uncle had not gotten involved in gambling...
Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed and nothing can be recovered.
Now, although she was wary of her third uncle, Xia Shige was still willing to help with this small favor. She couldn't just watch her third uncle and his family of three freeze to death outside.
Xia Shige sighed inwardly, then she took out her cell phone and sent a message to Xiao Tang.
[Xiao Tang, have you returned to the community yet? My relative wants to rent a house in the community, and I don’t plan to rent 1603 and 1604. Can you please help me see if there are other vacant houses in the community? ]
Xiao Tang quickly replied:
[Hello, Miss Xia, I'll be right over! ]
About ten minutes later, Xiao Tang arrived.
After understanding the situation, Xiao Tang thought for a while and replied, "There is a vacant room on the 11th floor of this building, 1101. May I have it?"
Xia Shige nodded and replied, "Sure, please take my third uncle and the others over to sign the contract."
The location on the 11th floor is suitable for arranging my third uncle's family to live there, as it can be taken care of without requiring daily visits.
My third uncle and his family of three were also very happy. They immediately stood up, picked up their luggage, and prepared to go out with Xiao Tang.
Looking at the two pieces of luggage in their hands, Xiao Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "Excuse me, is this all the luggage you have? ... There are no ready-to-move-in rooms available now. The suite on the 11th floor has no furniture, no mattresses, and no heating equipment. You need to buy all these by yourselves..."
My uncle scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "We originally brought other luggage, but three pieces were lost on the way, including the mattress and the heater..."
The three of them came here in a government disaster relief vehicle. The vehicle had limited capacity and did not allow for too much luggage. Adults could bring two pieces of luggage and minors could bring one piece of luggage. Their family of three took a total of five pieces of luggage.
But after they arrived at the area, they found that the bus had stopped running.
The road to the Jidu community is still three or four kilometers from where they got off the bus, so the three of them walked here.
It was cold outside, with heavy snow and wind. They couldn't walk any more after halfway through the journey. They had no choice but to leave their three pieces of luggage behind. Not only that, they were afraid that the whole family would freeze to death on the way...
