With Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zhiyuan's help, the house was quickly settled.
My third great-uncle's house is still empty. It's a small courtyard house right across from Peking University, perfect for a family to live in.
The elderly couple had moved to the south with their son. The house was vacant before, but was later rented to a government agency.
However, there have been rumors recently that private houses will be returned to private individuals. Of course, if the original tenants still want to continue renting the houses, the previous rent was paid to the state, but the current rent will be paid to the landlord.
My third uncle's family wasn't without connections; otherwise, that house would probably have been taken over and rented to several families instead of being rented to the work unit.
The houses rented by the company don't have as many illegal constructions, and the owners tend to take better care of them.
Having heard rumors that the unit in question had merged with other units, the small courtyard office space was too cramped, so they simply returned the house to their third great-uncle's family.
My third uncle is worried that the house will be taken back if it becomes empty.
After hearing Jiang Yuan's inquiries, they readily agreed to let them move in and offered to watch the house.
They didn't want any money, and told them to stay for a few years first, and then see if they could find someone to help sell it when they stopped staying.
The elderly couple lived with their son, who was doing quite well in the south and was unlikely to return to Beijing. With the house sitting there unattended, they figured it was better to sell it and save themselves the trouble.
As soon as I heard it was for sale...
Jiang Zhiyuan simply said, "Since that's the case, why don't we just sell it to them?"
My third maternal uncle couldn't have asked for it more than he could. The capital city was a place of sorrow for their family, and so was this house.
If I can get rid of it and never come back, it's one less thing to worry about.
The two parties quickly reached an agreement.
It's agreed that we'll go through the formalities once my third uncle returns to the capital.
When Xu Ningyan returned home for the first time on a weekend, she learned of this good news.
I don't know what to say for a moment.
It seems that after meeting Jiang Zhiyuan and marrying him, the future path that I had painstakingly planned was achieved by Jiang Zhiyuan with ease, even though I was still scheming about it.
It's so enviable!
But then I thought, this man who makes everyone so envious and jealous is my husband! So it's alright!
The more of this kind of thing, the better.
Xu Ningyan quickly adjusted her mindset.
The houses there were previously rented to government agencies. Although they weren't as destructive as those seven or eight private households, they still needed some renovations if people wanted to move in comfortably.
Jiang Zhiyuan has already found someone to help him make the necessary repairs.
Because the house is in good condition, it is not difficult to repair, and we can move in in about ten days.
Xu Ningyan was still thinking about when she could go see her, but the Jiang brothers hadn't seen their mother for several days. When they woke up, they were carried out by Sister Mei. When they saw Xu Ningyan, they immediately rushed to her.
Xu Ningyan grabbed one of them with each arm and then plopped down on the sofa.
Two chubby babies scrambled into her arms, trying to pry the other one away so they could have their mother's embrace all to themselves.
The two little ones were sturdy and quite strong. They fought and kicked each other, but neither of them was hurt. Xu Ningyan, however, took several kicks and was in pain.
This love is so heavy, I almost couldn't bear it!
He couldn't help but give each of the two little ones a light tap on the bottom: "You two better behave yourselves! Otherwise, your dad will punish you!"
The two little ones immediately tried to win Xu Ningyan over, each giving her a kiss on the cheek: "Mommy, I missed you!"
Xu Ningyan's eyes, which had been deliberately glaring, immediately curved into crescents.
She hugged the two little ones back and gave them two big kisses on the cheek: "Mommy missed you too! Were you good at home? Did you listen to Daddy, Grandma, and Grandma Mei?"
The two little ones blinked, their innocent and adorable expressions conveying a firm and resolute reply: "Mommy, we'll be good! We'll listen!"
Although Xu Ningyan knew that the two little ones were definitely not as well-behaved and obedient as they claimed, she still encouraged them by kissing them again and rewarding each of them with a White Rabbit milk candy.
The two little ones are consciously controlling their sugar intake, and can only eat one White Rabbit milk candy a day.
They will only be given an extra one as a special reward.
Although Sister Mei didn't quite understand, with the Jiang family's conditions, what was so difficult about the children wanting some candy? But seeing that Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zhiyuan were very supportive of Xu Ningyan, and never disciplined the two children or said no to them when they set rules for them.
Mei Jie then understood who the real mistress of the house was and who she should listen to!
Therefore, even when Xu Ningyan is not at home, Sister Mei strictly controls the amount of sugar her two children consume.
The two little ones' eyes lit up. They thanked Xu Ningyan in their childish voices, then took the candy, unwrapped it, and put it in their mouths, their little eyes squinting with happiness.
That night, the two brothers, Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhan, refused to leave Xu Ningyan no matter what.
He insisted on staying in Jiang Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan's bed and refused to leave.
Jiang Zhiyuan rubbed his temples helplessly, looking at the two brats rolling around, jumping, screaming and making a ruckus on the bed. He wished he could just take them out and throw them away on the spot.
He had to repeat to himself hundreds of times that this was his biological child before he could suppress the thought.
Xu Ningyan hadn't seen her children for a week, and spent half the day kissing them. Seeing the two children getting more and more energetic as they played, she herself felt a bit exhausted.
They gave Jiang Zhiyuan a wink, and the couple each took one child and held them in their arms to lull them to sleep, finally managing to force the two children to shut down.
Only then did they carry the child to the west wing.
Sister Mei is still awake, waiting.
Hearing footsteps, I opened the door; the bed was already made.
I put the two children on the bed. Their little faces were rosy from sleeping under the lamplight. They seemed to wake up when I put them down, but after I patted them, they mumbled something indistinctly and fell asleep again.
The couple went back to their room hand in hand and lay down on the bed.
Just as Xu Ningyan was about to close her eyes to sleep, a hot body pressed against her from behind, and a pair of strong arms easily pulled her into an embrace. A burning breath brushed against her ear: "I missed you too—"
Xu Ningyan sighed silently, having spent her time at school racking her brains with her classmates.
After getting home and taking care of the kids, I still have to take care of my husband!
Being a woman is hard! Being a woman who excels in every aspect is even harder!
As she rolled over, her hand involuntarily touched Jiang Zhiyuan's firm, but not exaggerated, abs. After carefully counting them, she sat up in surprise: "How come you only have six abs?"
Where did her big, perfect eight-pack abs go? It's only been a short time since I last saw her, and two of them have disappeared? Where did they go?
Jiang Zhiyuan's face darkened as he was almost unable to control himself, captivated by her soft hands.
Enraged, she immediately and forcefully subdued him, asking, "Do you love me? Or do you love my abs?"
"Of course it's...of course it's you! It has to be you! Only you!" Xu Ningyan said halfway through her sentence, then came to her senses and immediately coaxed Jiang Zhiyuan with sweet words.
Jiang Zhiyuan scoffed, "Little liar! Don't think he didn't notice her suspicious pause."
But he still couldn't let his guard down! He realized that his little wife not only liked his face, but also his abs and his hands...
But whatever, my abs are mine, my face is mine, my hands are mine, so rounding up, my wife really loves me!
A kiss, tinged with a hint of punishment, descended upon him relentlessly...
