"??? Didn't you hear it?"
Aunt Liu stared and looked outside.
Then he walked in and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The family behind you, their old man passed away last night!"
"The remaining two children all live in the county town. Last night, as soon as the old man left, they started clamoring to sell the remaining homestead and divide the money between the two families!"
"Wow! I was wondering why there was such a big commotion at their house last night!"
Zhou Ping was stunned and frowned.
He also explained, "My Zhiyi and Chengcheng went to the county town for a date last night! They didn't come back to stay!"
“So they didn’t hear it!”
Zhou Ping said this without thinking too much, but Aunt Liu's expression froze after hearing it.
Then he covered his mouth and laughed.
He raised his hand and patted Shen Zhiyi's slender shoulder, "Oh, Zhiyi! You and your battalion commander Jiang have such a good relationship, hahahaha, hey, you young people still understand romance!"
"Hey! Sister Zhou, we are old!"
Aunt Liu's words immediately made Shen Zhiyi feel embarrassed, and her white and tender ears quickly turned red.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and she bit her lip and said angrily, "Auntie... look at you."
"Auntie, please stop teasing her! She's too shy!"
Jiang Cheng's handsome face flushed from the elders' teasing. He strode over and said, "Why don't you go back to the house and rest for a while? Auntie and I will help you. Aren't we supposed to cook?"
Aunt Liu looked at the young couple standing together and thought they were even prettier than the people in the picture magazine.
I couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Ping and sighed, "Hey, Sister Zhou. Look at these two children in your family. They have such a good relationship!"
"I wonder when my Xiaomei will find a reliable partner. Their classmate Zhou Qing is married, and he moved to the next village. Although the man is a little older, his family is very well-off! I heard from Xiaomei that he is a simple and kind man who loves people! His in-laws are also good!"
"Hey... you tell me, when will this kid of ours finally get married? I'm so worried about it every day!"
Aunt Liu sighed, but she didn't expect that the next time she mentioned Cao Cao, he would appear!
Song Xiaomei was walking to the door carrying a basket of eggs.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard my mother talking about her personal problems.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Mom! I see that since you came to Zhiyi's house to cook, your life has been too leisurely. You even have the time to worry about my marriage problems!"
"Look at your memory! Didn't we agree to bring free-range eggs to Zhiyi's house? You left them all at home!"
"Oh! Look at my brain!"
Aunt Liu slapped her thigh and finally forgot about Song Xiaomei's boyfriend for the time being.
Hurry over to take the basket of eggs.
"Sister Zhou, these are what my relatives brought to my house a few days ago. They gave me a lot, but I can't even finish them all! These are eggs laid by real free-range chickens! They are very nutritious. I'll go fry some now and let you try them!"
"Hey, Miss Liu! Look at you... How can you be so embarrassed!"
Zhou Ping, leaning on a blind stick, followed Aunt Liu and the other woman to the kitchen.
While cleaning up and preparing to cook, we chatted about family matters.
Song Xiaomei walked in and breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but complain to Shen Zhiyi: "See, my mom has been crazy lately. She asks me when I'm going to have a date for nothing!"
"Oh, she's been nagging me so much that my head is about to explode!"
"...Song Xiaomei?"
Jiang Cheng frowned and suddenly called out to Song Xiaomei.
It also surprised Song Xiaomei and Shen Zhiyi!
"Captain Jiang? Eh? You didn't go to the army today!"
"...Oh, I'll go after I finish my meal."
Jiang Cheng suppressed the thought in his eyes, pursed his lips and said to Shen Zhiyi: "You two can chat first, I'm going to go into the house to change clothes."
This morning he just ironed Shen Zhiyi's skirt. As a grown man, he didn't need to be so particular.
Just get a new half-sleeve shirt!
Anyway, the shirt he is wearing is black, so the wrinkles are not obvious!
After returning to the house, he was still thinking while changing his clothes.
Why does it feel like the name Song Xiaomei is not just mentioned by his wife?
Who else... who...
Jiang Cheng frowned.
I couldn't figure it out until I changed my clothes, so I went back to the yard.
When they went out, Shen Zhiyi and Song Xiaomei had already left the dining table in the yard, and the two of them sat at the table chatting.
Looking at Jiang Ziqian again, he and Jiang Yuan were squatting under a big tree in the corner of the yard, watching the ants again.
Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered what Shen Zhiyi said when they were having dinner yesterday to defend Jiang Ziqian.
Seeing the two children being so sensible, they squatted on the ground and played by themselves.
I couldn't help but feel sad.
Walked over to spend time with the two kids.
Song Xiaomei also heard the noise coming from the house behind when she was about to enter.
I couldn't help but mention it to Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly remembered what Aunt Liu said just now, saying that the family behind was going to sell the homestead!
And the location is good too, it’s right behind their yard!
She blinked, and a dark light flashed in her bright eyes.
I asked, "Xiaomei, do you know how much this residential land basically sells for?"
She really didn't understand.
"Hmm..."
Song Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "Their house isn't as spacious as yours, and the remaining two rooms are almost dilapidated... I estimate they can only fetch a little over 400 yuan, and there's no guarantee they'll even sell! The main reason is..."
Song Xiaomei deliberately lowered her voice and said, "His father just passed away last night! Do you think the house can be sold for a good price?"
“…Oh~~I see.”
After Shen Zhiyi heard these words from Song Xiaomei, her heart began to surge.
She doesn't care about things like good or bad luck!
She herself has died once! What is there to be afraid of?
This opportunity is so rare, if you miss it, you don’t know when you will have it again!
However... all the money she has now is less than 400 yuan. If she really wants to buy a house, she still has to discuss it with Jiang Cheng.
I also have to say hello to my mother-in-law.
We are all family, you can’t be too arbitrary, let one person make the decision!
Shen Zhiyi and Song Xiaomei were chatting about this and that, while Jiang Cheng had already taken turns carrying Jiang Ziqian and Jiang Yuan on their shoulders to take them on a "flight".
Aunt Liu and Zhou Ping finished their work in the kitchen and told Shen Zhiyi and Song Xiaomei to quickly serve the dishes on the table.
As the hot meal was served, a familiar loud voice was heard at the door.
Very brash and loud.
"Battalion Commander!! Are you home?! I'm Dashan!!"
