Chapter 79 Chapter 79 It’s yours.
The key is pulled out.
The door was suddenly blown open by the wind.
Su Tu's body was stiff, his expression was dull, but he seemed to be unable to care about anything. He urgently needed to confirm something, and staggered inside.
The moonlight on winter nights is thin, almost non-existent, and visibility is low in foggy and snowy weather.
But she had lived here for 19 years, and with just a quick glance, she knew that everything in the yard was almost the same as before.
There is a small vegetable garden on the other side of the iron gate. Grandma would plant different vegetables according to the season, and behind a fence, she followed suit and planted various plants and flowers in foam boxes.
Many of them died, and finally my grandmother couldn't bear it anymore. She cursed and said what was the point of growing all these, but at the same time she took action to save them.
But in winter, they will inevitably wither in large numbers, leaving only a sparse row of branches, which looks dilapidated and miserable.
Just like now.
On the other side of the yard was a low warehouse with a door panel also made of iron sheets. Su Tu flipped the key chain in his hand and inserted the corresponding one into the lock cylinder.
The door of the warehouse opened with a clang, and the light bulb hanging from the wire was flicked on, illuminating the camping equipment piled in the corner below, an old bicycle, a red scooter, and a row of cardboard storage baskets stacked high, all of which were treasures that grandma was reluctant to throw away. Various auxiliary tools for planting and watering were placed at the door.
Just the same, all there.
The door of the main house is double-leaf, and the key is the largest. When the door opens, it makes a "creaky" sound.
The room was originally equipped with a transparent light bulb, and the entire electrical wire was covered with old black dirt, sticky and dotted with dead mosquitoes and flies.
Later, she asked a master to repaint the ceiling and replace it with the current ceiling lamp. When it is turned on, the light is white and can illuminate the room very brightly.
There weren't many furnishings in the living room. The sofa, coffee table, dining table, and chairs were all made of wood because they were very old, and not very comfortable to lie on. She had suggested replacing them before, but her grandmother scolded her, saying that the items were not dirty or broken, and that she was just wasting money. In the end, she gave up in disgrace.
There are two bedrooms on the east side. My grandmother's bedroom is on the outside. The door is always open and only half-closed at night.
There was a dark red Chinese wooden bed inside. The headboard was carved with intricate patterns, which made it very easy to hide dirt and grime. However, my grandmother would rather take the trouble to clean it frequently than replace it.
There was a wooden table against the wall at the head of the bed, on which lay my grandmother's water cup, reading glasses, and blood pressure medication. In the drawer were needles and thread, keys, and a flashlight...
Su Tu hadn't been here for almost two years, but everything in the house still retained the same look as he remembered, without even a speck of dust.
She turned away from her grandmother's door and stared blankly at the person who had been following her. Even now, her mind was still confused: "...What's going on?"
This place has indeed been sold.
She didn't know who the buyer was at first, but later she was threatened by Cheng Huai and knew that he had checked the house, so she naturally thought it was him.
But now that he thinks about it carefully, he just said that he wanted to help her with ideas and introduce Guansheng's case to her so that she could raise money as soon as possible and buy back the house.
From beginning to end, he never said that he was the buyer of the house.
Conversely, if he bought the house, he could just use it as an excuse and threaten her to destroy the things inside or demolish and rebuild it. The effect of this would obviously be more significant.
But he only focused on "making money".
So, all this is actually because she is confused and takes things for granted?
He wasn't the one who bought the house, and it was kept in such good condition that not even the locks had been changed...
Her chest was shaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Did you buy this house?"
It was like being kept in the dark for a long time and had already accepted her fate of not being able to get out, but the thick drum surface suddenly exploded, and dazzling light came in, which made her vision unbearable. She suddenly tilted her head and her body swayed weakly.
Shi Shu held her waist, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead soothingly: "Yes."
With support, Su Tu realized that his whole body was weak. He leaned against him weakly, but his eyes were persistent: "When?"
Shi Shu lowered his eyes and said, "May of the year before last."
“…”
Wasn’t that the second month after grandma passed away and my uncle was busy selling the house?
In other words, he bought the house directly from his uncle, but: "Why?"
She was puzzled and asked, "Why did you buy it? No...why would you buy it?"
It wouldn't be surprising if he bought the house because he liked her and knew her situation, but they didn't know each other at the time, so how did he know that the house was for sale?
Explanation takes time.
Shi Shu picked her up from his knees, turned around and went back to the living room. He sat on the sofa, stroking his hair and thinking for a moment: "You used to post on WeChat Moments."
Su Tu didn’t understand: “?”
She also posts on WeChat Moments now, but she won't post this kind of thing to announce it to the world.
However, she may not have noticed it herself.
The posts she made on WeChat Moments in the past were regular.
Shi Shu, however, was able to summarize: "Every week, or at most every two weeks, I'll post something about what's going on here."
Sometimes it’s the growth of flowers, sometimes it’s the fish soup on the table, and sometimes it’s petting the dog in front of the door.
It doesn't mean much, it just depends on the mood at the moment, but you can see from the photos that she is very relaxed every time she comes back here.
This means that she will definitely come back once every two weeks at the latest.
Even though she was away on a business trip for over a month before the incident, there would still be some depressed comments in her circle of friends: I wonder if the newly planted flowers are still alive, I really want to drink fish soup, I feel like I’m going to be scolded…
But after that, there was almost two months of nothing in the Moments: "I have a bad feeling. I don't know if you ran into trouble on your business trip or if something happened at home."
"I had just returned from a competition, so I came here to take a look. I heard that the elderly man in this house had passed away, and his son was trying to sell the house."
Su Tu was stunned: "And you bought it?"
Shi Shu nodded: "Yeah."
She frowned: "You bought it knowing what the situation is?"
He kissed her and said, "I didn't think that much."
“…”
He really didn't know the specific situation, but whether her family was short of money and needed to sell off their property to buy a new one, or because the elderly had passed away and she didn't want to leave behind a sad place, he was willing to take over.
And based on his understanding of her, this was the place where she had lived for so long, and where her beloved had lived. She had been so hurt that she hadn't posted on WeChat Moments for several months, and she might regret it later.
And if she wants to buy the house back at that time, he can ensure the success of the transfer.
After that, Han Yi hired an aunt, who is now helping in the new home, to come and clean and maintain the house regularly, trying to keep everything in its original state as much as possible.
Besides that, he never explored any privacy left here.
No wonder.
Su Tu was a little puzzled at first. Although this piece of house was old and dilapidated, its estimated price was not cheap because of its location and value to be demolished. It was neither comfortable to live in nor expensive. Who would be willing to buy it?
This is also the reason why she thought at the time that she would definitely have enough time to save money.
This was also partly the reason why people later mistakenly thought the buyer was Cheng Huai. If it was him, his purpose was to use the house to control himself, and he would not care about its practicality and investment value.
But I never thought that there would be a more satisfactory and reasonable result.
The facts are before us, detailed and credible.
But she still found it incredible.
Because before this, she had worked hard, struggled, and even given up for this result. She had suffered and gone through pain. Her conscience was condemned, and she was self-righteous and betrayed her beliefs for him.
But in the end, he told her that all this was unnecessary...
She pursed her lips, a mixture of emotions, and a hint of embarrassment as she felt angry: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
If she had known the outcome would be like this, many things would not have happened. She would not have been threatened, nor would she have had to go through unnecessary struggles.
I won't even stop by the roadside and hesitate for a long time when returning here.
Shi Shu also felt a little wronged.
How do you say this?
When he bought it, he thought about selling it one day, but until then, he had no plans to show up because he never thought of disturbing her life.
Then they started to get closer. Just the idea of buying a "wedding house" was enough to scare her. What would she think if he told her that he bought this place as well?
After all, there is only a fine line between affection and perversion.
He didn't want to be considered a pervert.
"laugh……"
Su Tu's eyes were filled with laughter, but she couldn't help crying and laughing. Afterwards, she felt a little embarrassed, her nose twitched, and she bit him hard: "No matter."
"It's your fault!"
Shi Shu didn't refuse: "Yeah."
Holding the back of his neck, he held his lips, his voice soft and gentle, melting between his teeth: "It's my fault."
Su Tu only let him touch him a few times before turning his head away.
I still felt a little depressed, and I wasn't in the mood to kiss him. I just hugged his waist and curled up in his arms, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
Shi Shu didn't force her, letting her nest like an ostrich for a while, then he rubbed her hair and soothed her gently: "After the New Year, I'll find a time to give you both houses, okay?"
How generous!
Even when he wanted to give her a house, he sounded like he was begging her.
Su Tu felt a little unhappy for no reason. He didn't like him being so humble, nor did he like him always giving. As if warning, he raised his head and bit his neck again: "Can you respect me a little?"
“…”
The studio's output value this year is close to two million. After the expansion next year, it should be possible to reach a minimum of three million and a maximum of five million.
It might be difficult to buy a house at InterContinental World, but buying back here is just around the corner. Why do you always make her sound like a wimp?
Shi Shu frowned: "You don't have to buy it."
He was obviously somewhat dissatisfied that she wanted to separate herself from him so clearly.
Su Tu also looked more serious and said seriously: "I still want it."
"I really can't afford the InterContinental World, and the renovations were all paid for by you. You can let me live in it, but you really don't have to transfer the ownership to me."
"As for this place, it's where my grandmother and I live. It has nothing to do with you. I've already given it up once. This time, I have to buy it back myself so that I can feel at ease. Do you understand?"
Afraid that he wouldn't agree, she hugged his neck and kissed him like she was trying to please him. "Anyway, the house is in your hands now, and I'm not in a hurry to make money. Just take your time, and when you've saved enough, you can transfer it to me, okay?"
To be honest, Shi Shu still didn't want to agree.
It’s not that I don’t believe her ability, but I don’t believe what she says.
You may say you are not in a hurry, but you will definitely accept everything that comes your way and work overtime to make money, because the goal you are looking forward to is really just around the corner.
The consequences of doing so are not only fatigue and damage to your body, but you may also be neglected in some way.
But she had already said that, and he couldn't refuse in a high-sounding manner. He could only compromise and tell her that even if she did this, the result would be the same: "Yeah."
"Anyway, the money will be yours from now on."
So no matter what’s yours or mine.
In the end it's all yours.
Su Tu: “…”
Stinky straight man!
You coaxed her into being together without any reason, and you still want to trick her into getting married without any reason?
Her face flushed and she glared at him unhappily, then turned around to find the remote control and turned on the TV.
It's eleven o'clock.
The Spring Festival Gala is still going on.
In the past, at this time, she would be so sleepy that her head would touch the ground. She would hug the pillow in her arms and fall asleep while sitting, but she could not doze for long. As soon as twelve o'clock came, she would be woken up by her grandmother.
After starting to work, she became more and more able to stay awake. There were a few times when my grandmother accidentally fell asleep and she reached out to shake her awake.
Then grandma would get a little flustered, counting the number of incense sticks while scolding her for not calling earlier, and that she would be one step behind others when she got to the temple later...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get up again and go into her grandmother's room to stay for a while.
Shi Shu didn't follow them, but just waited quietly in the living room, watching the programs on TV change one after another. Before midnight, fireworks began to be set off outside the window again.
A bit noisy.
Originally, sporadic rustling sounds could be heard in the house, but now they were completely drowned out.
He turned his head and was hesitating whether to go in and take a look when the door opened from the inside.
Su Tu was holding a bundle of incense, a stack of gold and silver paper, a string of firecrackers, and a lighter, all of which were found in his grandmother's room. They had been there for two years, or maybe even longer, and he didn't know if they could still be used.
So it should be consumed as soon as possible.
Then he shook the thing in his hand and encouraged him with a squint, "How about taking you out to play?"
Shi Shu: “?”
-
There is a small temple at the back of the alley.
The old people in this area like to go there to burn incense and pray.
It only takes ten minutes to walk from home, but it used to take Su Tu half a day to wake up. He didn't understand why he had to burn the first incense stick at midnight, and he was always procrastinating and not cooperating.
Therefore, over the years, my grandmother has never been the first to offer incense.
So before midnight today, Su Tu cheated and set off all the firecrackers in the yard in advance, and then asked Shi Shu to drag him to the temple.
When the sound of firecrackers rang out behind her, she was already standing in the temple and had lit a whole bundle of incense.
When he turned around, he was stunned again.
Where should I start worshipping?
Thinking about it, she felt a little ashamed. After so many years here, she still didn't understand the order, how many incense sticks to light, and how much gold and silver paper to burn.
The only thing to remember is to bow three times in each direction and put three incense sticks in each incense burner.
While reminiscing, he was also a little anxious, because in a few minutes, the elderly army behind him would all arrive. In the end, he could not care about so many things and knelt down in front of him.
Seeing that the person next to him did not kneel down, he looked back questioningly.
Shi Shu: “…”
They stared at each other for two seconds, then sighed silently.
In the end, he followed her example and started to kowtow with a complicated expression.
Su Tu didn't think it was a big deal at first, because he had been used to it since he was a child. But when he saw the others kneeling down stiffly and slowly, looking like they were being "forced into prostitution", he couldn't help laughing.
With the corners of his lips raised, he laughed while knocking.
Originally, we should bow three times in each direction, but sometimes we forget and accidentally bow twice more.
He didn't know what was going on, so he didn't interrupt and just followed suit.
The more Su Tu thought about it, the funnier it became. When he reached the last position, he couldn't help but look at the bracelet on his wrist and silently said to the person in the sky:
See, he's really nice to me.
It seems like he treats me better than you do.
You would scold me occasionally, but he would never dare to say a harsh word.
He bought our home and renovated another house for me to move in with him, so in the future I will have many places to go, family, and friends.
So you really don't have to worry anymore, because all the wishes you made for me have come true...
She didn't move for a long time, so Shi Shu also waited quietly, frowning and looking at the bracelet together, his eyes firm and open.
Like making a promise to someone.
Until footsteps were heard behind him.
A group of people hurriedly came to the front of the temple. They were lighting incense with lighters. When they looked up and saw Su Tu, they were stunned for a moment. When they saw the people next to her, they were stunned again.
Just as the soul of Bagua was about to ignite, another wave of people came from outside. In comparison, of course, burning incense was much more important!
Su Tu took the opportunity to pull the people away to avoid being questioned again. He walked against the flow of people to the door, then remembered that he had forgotten to burn the gold and silver paper.
He asked someone to wait there, and ran back in, lit a circle of fire along the edge, and threw all the incense into the incense burner. Before the neighbors could speak again, he ran out quickly, took the warm big hand, and urged with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up!!"
-
There were also quite a few people on the way back.
But the sky was dark and the old people were a little dizzy. Su Tu hid behind people so that he would not be recognized and could also block out the wind and snow.
She was so excited that she walked and jumped, and arrived home in a few minutes.
Close the courtyard gate, close the main gate, and then put the bolts on.
When I look back, it is already a new day and a new year.
There were fireworks outside, but it was quiet inside.
The two stood facing each other in the living room, their eyes unexpectedly meeting, but they were both silent, as if the year had ended and they had finished all their work, and suddenly they didn't know what to do or say, so they just looked at each other quietly.
Looking at the eyebrows and eyes so close together, they are deep and charming.
Then the heart rate increases and the ear temperature rises.
Shi Shu lowered his head and went to find her lips.
Su Tu raised her head to respond, hooked her hands around her neck, and her hips were lifted up. Her legs spread apart and wrapped around her waist.
She hung on him, kissed him deeply with trembling eyelashes, truly feeling his breath and body temperature, and his silent support again and again.
There was a mist in her eyes, which lingered for a long time until the root of her tongue was sucked hard. Then, as if stimulated by his temperature and actions, the mist rolled down from the corners of her eyes with a whimper.
She closed her eyes and called him vaguely: "Shi Shu..."
"Thank you."
He paused: "..."
He lifted his eyelids and looked up at her.
Her eyes were wet, and she held his face with trembling fingertips, the corners of her mouth slightly turned down, and she panted softly and said, "Thank you for liking me so much."
It made me go from having nothing to owning the whole world.
He then lowered his eyes again.
Pressing against the chin, he kissed away the tears bit by bit.
She felt so comfortable from the kiss that she hugged his neck and whispered, "Are you still leaving tonight?"
He tightened his arms, as if he was a little dissatisfied with her asking such a question. He pinched her waist as if to punish her, bit his lips, and said in a suppressed voice: "I won't leave."
“Hmm…”
She mumbled something, then spoke in a muffled voice, blushing as she asked, "Now, do you want to go to my room?"
Shi Shu raised his long eyelashes slightly, his eyes tinged with desire, and he stared at her quietly.
Although he had received the signal on his birthday, he still couldn't be sure if it was possible at this moment.
Su Tu's cheeks were burning hot, and her heart was beating wildly, but she still looked straight at him, pursed her lips, and responded softly with the words he had asked her four times: "...I want you."
