Chapter 60 Moving to a New Home
After the house deal was finalized, Wen Zhu and Jiang Jianbei rushed home immediately.
Jiang Qin, Wen Hong and Jiang Jianye had already packed some daily necessities, clothes, quilts, shoes and other things at home.
When Wen Hong learned that Wen Zhu had already rented a house, he felt that he might really be old. He had been running for a whole morning but was no match for his daughter in a short while.
Qian Xu enthusiastically insisted that Brother Zhang send Wen Zhu and his sister back, and then help them bring their things over.
Wen Zhu didn't refuse. With so much stuff, it would take forever to move it all on their own. The cart definitely couldn't carry it all at once; it would take several trips. So they picked up the most important items and put them on the cart to take with them for the time being.
She decided to treat him to a meal. Since he liked her mother's cooking so much, he would definitely be happy. After all, she was using someone else's car, so it would be bad not to show some appreciation. It was never nice to owe someone a favor.
As for Qian Jingsheng asking someone to help him find a house, and then give him some special hemostatics and some fast-acting heart pills. Wen Zhu felt that these would be more suitable for his future use in the army, and it would not be considered as a favor to him. These things were all secret medicines that she had made in her previous life, and they were generally not available even if she robbed them.
The house itself was very clean, and they just needed to give it a quick clean before moving in.
While cleaning, Wen Zhu looked up and saw Qian Xusen lying on the wall next door and eating an apple.
"Is your leg okay?"
This one sentence made the happy little bully speechless, and the big apple in his hand no longer tasted good.
But he was thick-skinned and admitted it with a smile.
"What are you doing on top of someone's wall? Aren't you afraid they'll mistake you for a thief and throw you out?"
Qian Xusen lay there, not moving, watching them busying themselves. He swallowed the apple in his mouth before saying, "I can't help it. I'm so lucky! The family next door rented their house to us, so we'll be neighbors from now on! I can go there every day and enjoy the food cooked by the aunt. I don't have to eat coarse food anymore, hehehe!"
"That's great. Come anytime. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you!" Jiang Qin heard it and responded with a smile.
Wen Hong, listening in, felt even more upset. He was deeply traumatized, feeling an unprecedented sense of defeat.
As expected, the front wave will be washed onto the beach by the back wave.
How come it was so easy for these young people to find an apartment? But he asked around and searched everywhere, but still couldn't find a single one?
Hadn't he been here before? He remembered asking about it, and he remembered someone saying the house was sold. Or maybe he was old and had a bad memory, so he remembered it wrong? Sure enough, people can't be lazy, or they'll degenerate.
As Wen Hong pondered this, he thought about his wife's business, which was also very busy. These past few days, she hadn't even had time to talk to him. His children were also striving hard in school. His daughter was particularly thriving in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I, the former pillar of the family, now seem somewhat useless. As a member of the family, now I only know how to farm, and it seems that I can no longer keep up with the pace of my family.
He recalled how the factory had approached him a few years earlier, after he'd been fired, wanting him to return as workshop director. He was angry at those who had stood by and watched, adding fuel to the fire, and, not wanting to see people he didn't want to see every day, he refused to return to the city.
Thinking about it now, I do feel a bit of regret. But one has to move on, and it's not too late to let go now. He's in his forties, married, established, with a son and a daughter. Isn't this the perfect age for him to strive for success?
It seems that after he settles down here and goes to see the boss, he has to go back. He can't let his family down!
Wen Hong successfully calmed himself down and was full of energy!
Wen Zhu didn't notice his father's inner monologue. Jiang Qin was busy cleaning up, and his two sons were also packing up, so naturally no one comforted him.
When he looked back, he had regained his previous calm, elegant demeanor. He carried the basin of water and went to wash things with a nimble demeanor.
"Why don't you go and help? Finish it quickly so we can come over for a simple meal in the evening."
"Okay, I'll go clean up right away! Brother Zhang also wants to go back, and he can have a meal cooked by Aunt Jiang. He will definitely be happy!" Qian Xusen said as he climbed down the wall swiftly.
——
The next day, Wen Zhu slept until seven o'clock before getting up. He washed up in five minutes, ate the egg noodles cooked by his mother, and went to school.
As soon as he went out, he saw Qian Xusen being grabbed by the collar and thrown out by Qian Jingsheng.
Wen Zhu saw this scene and smiled secretly, then greeted Qian Jingsheng obediently, "Good morning, Captain Qian! You got up so early, why don't you take a rest? Rest more and you will get better soon."
Qian Jingsheng replied, "I'm used to it, it's okay."
Qian Xusen was still dreaming when his brother pulled him out of bed. The moment he saw his cousin's face, his bad temper was subconsciously suppressed.
Holding a few big buns, he ate them as he walked, like a zombie. His soul was still asleep in bed, but his body had already started to operate mechanically.
Suddenly, he saw Wen Zhu had walked some distance away. He immediately came to his senses and quickly caught up with him.
"Why are you following me?" Wen Zhu asked.
Qian Xusen said mysteriously, "You'll know when you get to school."
Wen Zhu looked at him with his hands in his pockets and empty hands, looking like a middle school student, and felt like laughing.
As expected, chuunibyou exists in every generation. Out of curiosity, I asked him, "Why aren't you staying home to recuperate? Are you planning to go to school with me?"
"Why not? Shouldn't students go to school? What a fuss!"
After saying that, he walked away in a huff.
Seeing that Wen Zhu didn't catch up, he pretended to eat buns and wait for her.
It was not until he saw him following him into the campus that Wen Zhu finally believed that this young master was really going to school.
Wen Zhu didn't understand. Why did he come here to study as a transfer student instead of returning to Nancheng? Was it because the educational resources here were poor, or was it because there were fewer students in this remote mountain area, which made him look handsome?
She couldn't figure it out, so she gave up thinking about it. After all, everyone has their own aspirations. But she saw the principal looking at her kindly, with a warm smile.
She suddenly remembered something!
The principal had come to her last weekend before the holiday and had urged her to prepare a speech and give it at the flag-raising ceremony on Monday! Her weekend was so exciting that she had completely forgotten about it.
I finished all the homework last night.
She nodded calmly at the Colonel's long-awaited look.
It's okay, just a few words, nothing special. Just present her with the banner Mayor Yu gave her last time as a formality.
Wen Zhu formatted the speech template in his mind, added a few compliments to the principal, praised the school, encouraged the classmates, and concluded with some remarks. The speech was complete.
After receiving the affirmative look, Principal Sun looked away contentedly. He was very pleased with Wen Zhu.
Then, with a flushed face, he started communicating with a young man holding a notebook.
After the flag-raising ceremony, Principal Sun spoke passionately for half an hour. Afterwards, he turned his gaze to Wen Zhu.
"Now, on behalf of Mayor Yu, I would like to present a banner to Wen Zhu and invite her to share her experience with us! Everyone, please give her a round of applause!"
