Chapter 20 Warmth from Old Lady Shang
In fact, Tan Chen had been thinking about this problem while sitting there.
He doesn't want to go back to the Tan family, and he can't go back.
Although he had some money, it would take a long time to rebuild the house.
He is blind, so how can he rely on a woman like Shang Ruoting to build a house?
Just as he was thinking of a solution, Shang Ruoting came over after tidying up all the things in the kitchen.
"My grandma does have an empty house. I'll talk to her now and ask her to take us in for a while."
Although Tan Chen couldn't see, his face was still facing Shang Ruoting.
"If grandma is willing to let us sponsor her, I'm willing to pay for the room."
Shang Ruoting did not comment on this: "I will ask my grandma first, and then consider other things."
Tan Chen nodded: "Okay."
Shang Ruoting went back to the chicken coop again.
Old Mrs. Shang had just locked the doors of the two chicken coops and was about to go check on Shang Ruoting when she saw the latter jogging towards her.
"Tingting, what happened in your family?"
Shang Ruoting helped Old Lady Shang sit on a big rock by the roadside.
"Grandma, my house collapsed..."
She briefly described the current situation of the house and the people.
When Mrs. Shang heard that no one was seriously injured, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"If a house collapses, it can be rebuilt. It's better than anything else if no one is hurt."
After that, she asked again: "Your house collapsed, what are your plans with Tan Chen?"
Shang Ruoting directly expressed her thoughts.
"Grandma, I want to discuss with you, can we move in with you for a few days?"
When Mrs. Shang heard that her granddaughter and her family were going to move in with her, she was so excited that she almost cried.
You know, ever since Shang Ruoting was raised by Shang Lichun, she has secretly visited her countless times and shed tears for it. She was hoping that Shang Ruoting would remember her grandmother and go back to see her.
Now, her long-cherished granddaughter is finally willing to contact her and even takes the initiative to move to her house temporarily.
Her dream of so many years suddenly came true. How could she be at peace?
But she soon calmed down.
"I come from a poor background. If you move to my place, will it have any impact on you?"
Shang Ruoting shook her head and thought to herself, in another half a year, the turmoil will be completely over, and your past will be over.
Even if that wasn't the case, Shang Ruoting was a person of integrity, so why would she care about these things?
"Grandma, Tan Chen and I don't care about these things."
Old Mrs. Shang cried with joy...
At the same time, he pinched himself hard to confirm that all this was not a dream.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up: "Grandma will go back and pack up now, you can move in anytime."
Shang Ruoting felt the warmth brought to her by Old Mrs. Shang.
This feels so good...
She smiled and stood up: "Thank you, grandma. I will go back and prepare and move to your place this afternoon."
She also reminded him: "Grandma, go back and heat up the eggs I gave you and eat a few more."
Old Mrs. Shang touched the egg in her coat pocket like a treasure.
"I'll save the eggs for you. When you and Tan Chen move over, I'll heat up the milk for you."
"I'll go to the team to eat after I'm done packing."
Shang Ruoting knew that the old man was reluctant to eat eggs and left all the good things he thought were good to her. She would rather go to the team to eat the free big pot meal...
Faced with such a kind old lady, Shang Ruoting has already vowed in her heart that she will take care of her as her closest relative.
Feeling the warmth brought by Old Mrs. Shang, Shang Ruoting walked out of the farm.
As she walked, she thought that several villagers had come to her house to help dig out the rubble, and she couldn't let them work in vain.
According to the social etiquette here, it would be most appropriate to give each person a pack of cigarettes in this situation.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruoting changed direction and headed straight for the village.
Zhao Fa's wife, Li Guizhen, was unable to work due to a back injury, so Zhao Fa opened a small shop for her in the village.
It is called a small shop, but it only sells cigarettes and alcohol. At that time, most men smoke and drink, so the business is pretty good.
Shang Ruoting didn't care whether the store had everything or not, as long as it had the cigarettes she wanted.
As soon as she walked in, she saw Shang Lichun talking to Li Guizhen with a flattering look on his face.
"Sister-in-law Zhao, please give me credit just this once. I promise to pay you tomorrow."
Li Guizhen rolled her eyes at him. "We bought all the cigarettes and alcohol in the city with our own money. Today you buy on credit, tomorrow he owes me money, and at the end of the year he has to pay me back a bunch of work points. When can I ever earn back the money I've spent?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here and go do what you need to do. If you want to drink, come back and buy it if you have money."
Shang Lichun still didn't give up and was about to continue begging.
Shang Ruoting walked to the counter. She was not familiar with these cigarettes and asked, "Aunt Guizhen, how much are the cigarettes?"
Li Guizhen knew that this was Shang Ruoting's first time buying something from her, so she patiently introduced it to her.
"The cheapest ones are Yangqun, 9 cents a pack, Baocheng, 19 cents, Dayanta, 26 cents, and this Moju with a filter, 28 cents..."
Shang Ruoting thought about it. Including Lin Erniu, there were six villagers helping out at home. As for Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng, they probably didn't smoke.
"Aunt Guizhen, I want a two-cent box of Moju. Give me six packs."
When the number was announced, not only Li Guizhen was a little surprised, but even Shang Lichun who was standing next to her was stunned.
Not only did this girl want to buy the most expensive cigarettes, but she also wanted six packs?
