Chapter 158 When he

came to see Gu Qia, Lin Zhengqing was even more certain that this was the house that the Hu family had taken back.

Principal Lin has always had a strong heart. At this moment, he was calm and composed. He parked the car and did not take anything else from the handlebar. He just left it on the roadside, as naturally as if it were parked in front of his own house.

Lin Zhengqing smiled and said, "Xiao Qia, why is it you?"

This old fox clearly knew about the relationship between Gu Qia and Lin Siwei, but he had to pretend not to know.

Gu Qia, however, was open-minded: "Grandma Hu's house is being renovated. I have nothing to do, so I came over to help."

"Oh, after all, it is the people's army for the people. Xiao Qia, you have become Lei Feng." Lin Zhengqing laughed and said to himself Talking to himself, he bypassed Gu Qia and entered the house.

In the house on the first floor facing the street, two masters are reinforcing the original wooden stairs. Several cracked wooden boards have been removed and replaced, and fixings have been added to the joints of the handrails.

Lin Zhengqing pointed to the stairs and asked, "Master, why don't you just dismantle the cement stairs?"

The master who was working looked up at him. He obviously didn't know who he was and was too lazy to answer.

Gu Qia, who was following him, explained with a smile: "It means Si Wei."

Lin Zhengqing frowned and complained, but he thought of the relationship between Gu Qia and Lin Siwei, and the mission of his trip. He swallowed the complaint and said with a smile: "What does she know? The cement is very strong. This house is almost eighty or ninety years old, almost a hundred years ago. The wooden stairs are easy to break and they still creak when you walk on them. Don't we all You should have a lot of experience living in this kind of house."

Gu Qianque said: "Because this house is almost a hundred years old, Siwei said that everything in the house has preservation value, not only the wooden stairs, but also the beams and pillars. , windows, doors, including the brick carvings on the eaves, are all commemorative objects. Although it is partially demolished now, it will be mainly renovated to keep the original appearance as much as possible. "

"Kid, you are so naive." Lin Zhengqing chuckled, "Where's my mom? Let me tell her, I turned over everything and got it right in one step."

"Grandma went to buy snacks for the masters." Gu Qia said.

He actually knew that Lin Zhengqing came with bad intentions, but he couldn't kick Lin Zhengqing out before Hu Qiaoyue came back. So I thought to myself, anyway, grandma is back, I will act according to her instructions and just protect her.

Lin Zhengqing acted like the master, inspecting carefully with his hands behind his back. He originally wanted to go upstairs, but some of the wooden stairs were demolished, so he hesitated and went to the courtyard.

All the tall and short houses built in the yard were demolished on the first day, and the courtyard walls were built on the second day. Now pillars are being erected to make a corridor.

Lin Zhengqing stood in the yard, looking at the broad sky above his head, his heart racing.

This courtyard is three times larger than his courtyard at No. 43, Fish Bone Lane. Even with a surrounding corridor, it is still three times larger. Seeing that there are traces of the previous house on the bluestone floor tiles, it was obviously recently demolished.

"This yard wasn't so big before, right?" he asked.

"Yes." Gu Qia nodded, "Several houses were built in the yard before, and they were all occupied by other people. Siwei said that they were all restored to the way they were when the Hu family used to be, so they were all demolished."

You have to throw them away when comparing goods. , people are more likely to die than others, houses are better than houses... Lin Zhengqing wants to cry.

I used to think that No. 43 Yugu Lane was already very decent. How many people envied his father-in-law for his ability to buy such a spacious house. Although the yard was smaller, they were the only family living there. It had a living room and a toilet. There is no need for children to share a room with their parents.

But now the conflict between Lin Jiahuan and Lin Jiale is getting more and more intense. Lin Jiale is almost reluctant to go back to her room, saying that Lin Jiahuan stays up all night and sometimes talks to herself, which affects her rest.

Lin Zhengqing felt that Lin Jiale also affected his rest.

Recently, the Education Bureau is also fighting for public housing in Huayuan New Village. Lin Zheng started to move around early in the morning. If the bureau can win it, it will definitely give him a share.

He was fed up with listening to Liu Yuxiu and Lin Jiale whispering every night.

However, at No. 265 Yangchuan Road, one of the many houses owned by the Hu family, all the redundant rooms that were not pleasing to the eye were demolished. They only worried that they would be dissatisfied with the accommodation, not that they would not be able to live in it.

After finishing walking around the main room in the back row, Lin Zhengqing suddenly became excited when he heard Hu Qiaoyue's voice coming from the door: "My mother is back!"

"Mom -" He rushed to the door quickly, surprising the masters.

It turns out that this gentle man is the son of the master? That's... the father of that beautiful little girl?

What? Does the master have a son? The pretty girl has a father?

I thought I was dead.

Hu Qiaoyue carried a basket of hot food and was sharing it with the masters when she heard an emotional call from inside.

Sure enough, it came. I can't wait for a day.

She sighed deeply, pretended not to hear, and continued: "The vegetable buns I bought today are for a change. If you get tired of eating buns, tell me and I will change them for you."

The chefs got up and went. He washed his hands and divided the buns, shouting lively: "Such a delicious bun, you can eat it for a hundred days and you won't get tired of it."

"Mom." Lin Zhengqing walked in and wanted to take the basket from Hu Qiaoyue's hand, but Hu Qiaoyue stepped aside gently. , he answered empty.

"Mom, I heard that the house here is being renovated. I came over to see if I can help." Lin Zhengqing said.

Hu Qiaoyue said calmly: "Don't bother Principal Lin. Xiaoqia is watching over me, don't worry."

"Mom..."

"Hey, don't call me mom, I can't bear it."

Hu Qiaoyue turned around, she was as cold as ice just now. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to the masters who came over after washing their hands, "I bought eighteen, which is enough. Hey, Xiaoyue, he was still there when we just counted people."

Gu Qia said: " Oh, he has something to do at other construction sites, so he needs to leave first."

After dividing the buns, there was one more. All the masters thought that the extra one would go to Grandma Hu's "son" who suddenly appeared, and even Lin Zhengqing laughed. I was going to reach out and take it.

Unexpectedly, Hu Qiaoyue said: "Then there is one left. I will take it home to Siwei for tomorrow's breakfast."

Lin Zhengqing was a little embarrassed, and then said: "It's good, Siwei likes to eat steamed buns."

Hu Qiaoyue rolled her eyes: " "You know?"

The masters looked at this strange middle-aged man curiously, why did he call Grandma Hu, and Grandma Hu didn't recognize her? Is he his son?

Are all relationships in wealthy families so complicated?

Lin Zhengqing was able to hold his own and said with a smile, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Hu Qiaoyue glanced at him: "Go and talk over there." She pointed to the west, obviously referring to No. 281.

"Okay!" Lin Zhengqing became excited and felt that Hu Qiaoyue's attitude was much better today. It seemed that his filial piety was finally moved to heaven and earth.

"Xiao Qia, please take care of the masters here while I go home." Hu Qiaoyue said.

This means don't bother with the past.

Lin Zhengqing was even more happy. He pushed the bicycle and introduced it as he walked: "Mom, I bought these for you. I know you choose, so I went to the Shaoshan Non-staple Food Store to buy them. They are all Shanghai snacks."

Hu Qiaoyue said coldly . "I'm not that picky. Don't bring it in. I'll throw whatever you bring out."

Lin Zhengqing's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the two cans of milk powder thrown out of the window, he felt inexplicably distressed.

But then I thought about it, this is a big house half a street away, so two cans of milk powder are nothing.

Forget it, a real man can bend and stretch, so if she won't let me take it, I won't take it. One day she will accept my filial piety.

Arriving upstairs at No. 281, Hu Qiaoyue did not greet Lin Zhengqing and sat down on her own, the wicker chair in front of the window where she usually sat.

"Mom, I just looked at the house at No. 265. Are you planning to live there after it has been renovated?"

"Yes."

Lin Zhengqing said with a look of shame on his face: "It's true that this place is too small. You and Siwei are cramped together." A small room is also a grievance. I am not a good son and cannot afford to let you live in a big house..."

Hu Qiaoyue felt a chill and could not help showing an expression of disgust.

Lin Zhengqing was very good at observing people's words. He immediately stopped and put on a smile: "Everything has passed. Fortunately, the government has implemented the policy. In the future, you can live wherever you want."

Hu Qiaoyue said: "It seems that you already know that the Hu family has implemented the policy. " Then open the skylight and tell the truth. I don’t need to live in a big house. Just the two of us, No. 265, will be taken care of by the Housing Authority.”

“Ah?” Lin Zhengqing was shocked . He exhaled, "Did you go back?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

Lin Zhengqing thought that it was not appropriate to ask here if he had really gone back. He would find out when he went back to ask someone. So he changed his smile to a look of concern: "Mom, I just looked at the house at No. 265. Since it has been renovated, don't use those old wooden objects. Replace them with new ones. The stairs are made of cement, and the windows are all renovated." Change..."

"Stop it. Don't say anything I don't want to hear." Hu Qiaoyue said, "I can repair my own house as much as I want. If you want anything, tell me quickly. Don't wait until Siwei comes back later. I'll call you out."

Seeing Hu Qiaoyue's indifference, Lin Zhengqing gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll just tell you."

With a "pop", he actually knelt down to Hu Qiaoyue: " Mom, I solemnly apologize to you. Regardless of whether you accept it or not, I must apologize to you. I shouldn’t have cut off our relationship with you, and I shouldn’t have ignored you for so many years. I’m not a human being!”

“Hu Qiaoyue.” Sneered, "You know that the Hu family has a house and property, so you regret it, right?"

Lin Zhengqing looked remorseful: "It doesn't matter if I don't regret it later. Mom, even if I am not a human being in your eyes, I am not worthy of being your son. " , Jia Huan and Jia Le are always your granddaughters, they have not sorry for you. "

Here he is, finally he is here.

Hu Qiaoyue slowly said: "Then why don't you bring them to kneel?"

"As long as you agree, I will bring them to kneel immediately!" Lin Zhengqing cried, "Everyone has dignity, I am a principal, kneeling here Please forgive me, I have my own reasons. You have never been to my house in Fish Bone Lane. It is too small. Really, if I had not been able to accommodate Siwei at that time, I would not be so shameless as to ask you to take her in..."

"Ha." Hu Qiaoyue snorted coldly, without commenting.

Lin Zhengqing added: "Now that the two children have grown up, I am sorry for you and I am not worthy of living in your house, but the children have not sorry for you. Can you..."

"Yes." Hu Qiaoyue interrupted him again.
