Chapter 232 Wife, I miss you

Three days later, Su Mei received a message from Qin Fang, asking Li Shufen to get ready and start sending Qiuqiu to school.

Su Mei took some time to accompany Li Shufen to the elementary school.

The primary school was quite far from the yard that Su Mei bought. When she and Li Shufen went to see the school, they took a rickshaw and it took them more than 30 minutes to get there.

If Li Shufen and Qiuqiu walked to school, it would take at least an hour and a half.

It takes three hours to walk back and forth every day.

There is no suitable public transportation, and taking a rickshaw every day is too expensive. Su Mei feels it is quite inconvenient.

She decided to buy a yard halfway between the elementary school and Yenching University.

This way, it would only take her about ten minutes to ride her bike to Yenching University, and it would also be more convenient for Li Shufen to take Qiuqiu to school.

At first, Li Shufen disagreed when she heard Su Mei say that she wanted to buy a yard in the middle of the two schools. She was afraid that Su Mei was buying the yard for her and Qiuqiu.

But Su Mei told her:

"Sister-in-law, I told you a long time ago that I planned to buy a few more courtyards. Even if you and Qiuqiu were not here, I would still buy them. Before Qiuqiu decided to go to school, didn't I also look at many courtyards?

It's just that I haven't seen the right one so I haven't bought it.

Let's go look for it and buy the one that suits us! We can rent out this yard next to the school to college students and make some money."

"Why buy so many yards?" Li Shufen has always wanted to ask Su Mei this question. She also knows that since she came to Yanjing, Su Mei would go out to look for a house whenever she had free time.

Su Mei couldn't explain this question in detail. Whenever Li Shufen asked her about it in the past, she would completely evade the question. But now she continued to fool her. Perhaps even if they bought a new yard, Li Shufen would not be able to live there with peace of mind.

In order to scare Li Shufen, Su Mei decided to make up a lie. She told Li Shufen:

"Sister-in-law, actually this is what happened. I have had this dream more than once. I dreamed that I gave birth to five children. They fought because they couldn't divide the house. It was very tense.

Really, I have had this dream many times. I think it has happened too many times and it might come true, so I have to prepare for the house from now on and buy more just in case. "

"Really?" Li Shufen was quite smart and not easy to fool, so she was a little skeptical.

But people of this era still believe in those superstitious things to some extent, so even if Li Shufen doesn't believe in them, she still believes in them a little bit.

Su Mei's expression was extremely serious:

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I bother to buy a yard?

After being seriously fooled by Su Mei for an entire afternoon, Li Shufen finally accepted the truth with trepidation. However, she still felt that Su Mei's words were a little scary, so she carefully reminded Su Mei:

"Five is too many. Give birth to two or three! More is scary."

"There's nothing I can do. In my dream, I gave birth to four babies." Su Mei wanted to laugh at the lie she made up, but when she saw Li Shufen's serious expression, she suppressed her laughter.

Anyway, as long as Li Shufen believes that she bought the yard for herself, that's enough.

In fact, she did buy the yard for herself.

Because Su Mei was busy with school, she directly entrusted the matter of buying the yard to Li Shufen. After all, Li Shufen knew the size and price of the yard that Su Mei needed.

After Li Shufen sent Qiuqiu to school the next day, she began to search for schools that met Su Mei's requirements.

She searched for three days and her feet were covered with blisters.

Fortunately, Li Shufen found a place that was about the same size as the one she lives in now.

However, the house in that yard is much newer and costs 1,000 yuan more than the first yard Su Mei bought, which is 3,500 yuan.

Li Shufen thought the size of the yard, the age of the house, and the furniture were all good, and most importantly, it was close to Yenching University and Qiuqiu's elementary school.

Although the house was a bit expensive, Li Shufen felt it was worth it, so she went home and told Su Mei about it, asking her to go and take a look before making a decision.

"Sister-in-law, I believe in your judgment. Since you think it's worth 3,500, then it must be worth it. I don't need to look at it anymore. Let's find a car and move there directly on the weekend.

Please clean up this yard and we can rent it out...but it would be a pity to waste the vegetables you planted in the yard."

"It's okay. That yard is big." Seeing how much Su Mei trusted her, Li Shufen smiled innocently. She continued, "I will move all the vegetables that can be transplanted there. I will also plant vegetables there."

"That's fine."

Just like that, without even looking at it, Su Mei took out the money and handed it to Li Shufen, asking her to pay for the yard.

When the weekend came, Su Mei called Qin Fang and drove to move all the messy household items to the newly purchased yard.

The day she moved in was the first time that Su Mei saw the yard she had bought for 3,500 yuan.

Li Shufen did not disappoint her. The yard was indeed very large. There were several big trees in the yard that were so big that one person could not hug them. There were also flower beds made of green bricks at the foot of the trees.

Although the house is old, it has been renovated in recent years. The house is clean, bright and tidy. It is worth buying it for 5,000.

It was worth it that Li Shufen ran around for two days and got blisters on her feet before she finally found the house.

The original house was a bit old, and Su Mei originally thought it was ok to live in it, but after buying the new yard, Su Mei immediately felt that it would be more comfortable to live there by herself.

She chose a room with a window that opened to a view of the drooping willows in the yard.

There was a breeze blowing in the yard. Su Mei leaned against the window, enjoying the breeze while reading the latest letter Huo Jianguo had sent her:

"Wife, I miss you......"
