"Jianjian said he couldn't have it, but you insist on giving it to me. Wouldn't it be perfect if I just bought it?"
"..." Hu Qing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. What kind of perfect solution was this?
"Sis, you don't even live at home, what's the point of buying a house? If you're going to buy one, buy it in Kyoto!" Mei Jian really wanted to knock open his sister's head and see what was inside.
"Well, now that you mention it, the house I gave you here is really not good; you can't live in it at all." Hu Qing stroked her chin; she had forgotten to consider this issue.
“Yes, yes, yes! My sister doesn’t live here, so it’s a waste for you to give it to her. Why not let Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu live here? That would be a good way for you to show your filial piety.”
Mei Jian: I haven't heard that Uncle Hu and his family are moving. If Hu Qing only gave her sister a house, then this is a big problem! This girl is really something. Instead of buying a house for her parents, she gives a house to an outsider. Won't the Hu family fight with our family then?
"Them? I already asked them. They don't want a new house. I gave them money. If they want to move, they can do it themselves..." When Hu Qing came back, he asked his parents if they wanted to move to a bigger house. Hu's parents thought the current house was fine and didn't want to move.
"Did you tell them that you were going to give my sister the house?" Mei Jian interrupted Hu Qing, feeling that Hu Qing clearly did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
"No, I just bought this house a couple of days ago. I was thinking of telling them after Sisi accepted it."
"That's the problem! Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu worked so hard to raise you, and now that you're rich, you've bought a house for someone else, while your parents are still living in the old house. What are people going to think?"
Mei Jian thought about it more and more and felt that this house was a huge problem and absolutely could not be kept!
“I gave them money. If they want to move, they can just buy it. Besides, Sisi is no ordinary person; she's my benefactor!”
Hu Qing felt that she had already been very filial. She had given her parents money, and even if she bought a house with that money, there would still be a lot left over.
"The older generation is reluctant to spend money to buy a house. You should just buy the house and tell them to move in."
"Then...then I'll go buy them a house tomorrow." Hu Qing also realized that she shouldn't ask her parents about buying a house for them, since the elderly are indeed reluctant to spend money.
“No need! This is already ready! This house is big enough! There are plenty of rooms, enough for your whole family to live in.” Mei Jian pointed to the house behind him, indicating that it was a ready-made gift to show filial piety to his parents.
"This house won't do, this is the one I want to give away..."
“My sister might live in Kyoto for a long time in the future. If you give this house to my sister, it will just be empty. You might as well give it to your parents.”
"This..." Hu Qing hesitated. She felt that Mei Jian's words made a lot of sense, but she also felt that something was not right.
"It's settled then! You'll definitely be happy to give away this house!"
Mei Jian wiped the cold sweat from his brow, clenched his fist secretly, and felt that he had solved a big problem for his family.
When Hu Qing got home that evening, he handed the house keys to his parents and told them that the house had been bought and they could move in in the next couple of days.
When Hu's parents received the keys, although one of them complained about Hu Qing's wasteful spending, they were clearly not angry. The next morning, they happily started packing their things.
After a good night's sleep, Hu Qing finally realized something was wrong—she'd been tricked by Mei Jian! The house was given to Mei Si; even if Mei Si couldn't live there, the Mei family could, right? It wasn't that no one was living there!
When it was time to go to bed that night, Mei Jian and Mei Liang went to stay next door again, while Mei Si stayed in the inner room with Grandma Mei and Mom Mei, just like the night before.
Mei Si: Why did Sister Hu think of giving me a house? Did she realize that my house wasn't big enough? Should we move to a bigger house?
Mei Si thought about it all night and finally came up with a great idea: she could buy a house in Kyoto, just like the one in the Ce Lou family's house.
That way, she can eat her grandma's cooking every Sunday! And it's convenient for her to go home too!
Mays: I'm so smart!
Mei Si decided to surprise her family, so she didn't tell anyone, not even Wang Ce Lou knew that she was going to buy a house.
After a two-week holiday, Mei Si and Wang Ce Lou boarded the train back to Kyoto with two large bags of local specialties.
The coaches haven't been idle for the past two weeks either. They've realized that Mays might be an all-around athlete, capable of participating in more competitions.
During the two weeks that Mays was away, they had been working on a training plan for her, intending to train her in all aspects.
As soon as May returned, she began a hellish training regimen, and her plan to take leave to look for a house fell through.
However, Mays did not give up. She used every Saturday afternoon and Sunday to look for houses for sale around the Wang family's residence.
Normally, Wang Celou would have already figured out Mei Si's intentions, but he hasn't been able to see Mei Si lately, not only because he's in his senior year of high school, but also because of his maternal grandmother's neighbor.
When Wang Celou returned after being away for half a month, he was told that his grandmother's neighbor, Chu Baqi, who was in the same school as him, had been hit by a car and injured her head.
Since they were neighbors and even went to the same school, Wang Celou made a special trip to the hospital to visit Chu Baqi.
Chubachi has amnesia; she remembers nothing. She shows fear and resistance when her family and friends approach her.
The Chu family had assumed that Chu Baqi would not see Wang Celou, just as she would not see any of her friends who came to visit her.
But the Chu family was wrong. When Chu Baqi heard Wang Celou's name, she suddenly became very excited and insisted on seeing him.
