"I'm sorry, Mom." Yang Jing apologized sincerely into the phone.
"Don't apologize. What's the point of saying those words? Isn't your class reunion on the 11th? It's almost the 20th, why haven't you come back yet? You are in Yanjing now, not in London. How long will it take you to go home?"
Yang Jing was stunned by these words. Could it be that he really became the legendary person who "forgot his mother after getting a wife"?
After laughing twice, Yang Jing decided to tell his mother the good news to save her from nagging in his ear.
"Mom, it's not that your son doesn't want to go home, it's just that he can't go home for the time being."
"Are you talking about useless things again? Why can't you go home for the time being?"
"Hey, Mom, I'm telling you, don't be too happy. Your son is busy flirting with your daughter-in-law in Yanjing..."
Sure enough, for my mother who just retired and is eager to have a grandchild, the three words "daughter-in-law" are more powerful than any other reason.
After asking Yang Jing a lot of questions, my mother finally said, "Spend time with your wife. You don't have to worry about things at home." Then she hung up the phone decisively.
Yang Jing was helpless against such an "irresponsible" mother.
However, this call from his mother also reminded Yang Jing that he should go visit his second uncle. He has been in Yanjing for such a long time, but he has never found time to visit the old man. This is really wrong.
After buying some gifts, Yang Jing drove straight to Dongsi.
Yang Jing's second uncle lived in a courtyard house on Dongsiyi Road, which was passed down from Yang Jing's grandfather's grandfather. However, after liberation, the house was taken back by the state, but in the late 1980s, it was returned.
My grandfather left Yanjing to serve in the army in his early years, and his household registration was also in Tianqu, so this courtyard has always been lived in by my second uncle. At that time, the family hoped that this courtyard could be demolished and replaced with a building, but the courtyard in Dongsi became a protected area and the house could not be demolished.
My second uncle’s family was quite depressed at the time, but looking back now, it’s a good thing that this place was not developed at that time, otherwise how could they still live in such a valuable courtyard house?
The courtyard of my second grandfather's house is not small, covering an area of 400 square meters. It is a typical quadrangle with two courtyards, five north and six wing rooms, and a back house. In the past, the whole family hoped that this courtyard would be demolished, but now, the value of this courtyard is huge, and the conservative estimate is above 45 million!
PS: I would like to thank “冰冷八度” for the reward of 500.
