Zhang Qiaoyue made all the decisions, big and small, at home, and Chi Minghe never had any objections.
"You need to take care of your health while you're on the construction site, and rest when you need to..."
Chi Chan only knew that after the afternoon classes, Zhang Qiaoyue came to the school again.
Zhang Qiaoyue told Chi Chan that she had already looked at several apartments in the nearby neighborhood, and asked Chi Chan to ask the teacher for leave during evening self-study so that she could take Chi Chan to see the properties.
"My mom is so fast!"
Chi Chan took Zhang Qiaoyue's arm and praised her.
After looking at houses all night, Chi Chan still couldn't find a suitable one.
They complain that this room is too small, or that room is too noisy.
In Zhang Qiaoyue's view, Chi Chan always found fault with the house that was perfect in every way.
Veins throbbed on Zhang Qiaoyue's forehead. Just before she was about to lose her temper, Chi Chan jumped a step, moving three feet away from Zhang Qiaoyue.
"Mom—Mom—Mom—, it's too late today. School's closed tomorrow, Saturday. Shall we go out to look at houses later?"
"What's wrong with these houses?"
It's close to your school, the environment is nice, and the market isn't far away either. Why are you always finding fault?
"Isn't this too small?"
"Look at that kitchen! You couldn't even move it by yourself!"
"Small, small, small—that sounds nice, but big houses aren't expensive, are they?"
Do you think the money your dad and I earn grows on trees?
Although Zhang Qiaoyue was cursing, she ultimately backed down.
Since they've already decided to accompany her to school, what Xiao Chan said is true; not choosing a good house has also affected Xiao Chan's studies.
"I'll take you back to your dorm today, and you can come back to choose tomorrow. We'll keep picking until you're satisfied, okay?"
Zhang Qiaoyue said irritably.
"Okay—Mom, you're the best!"
Chi Chan took Zhang Qiaoyue's arm again and showered her with sweet words as if they were free.
Zhang Qiaoyue's cold face gradually softened.
After Chi Chan entered high school, her grades didn't improve at all and even declined quite a bit, but her words really became sweeter!
Zhang Qiaoyue thought this way, but she wouldn't mince words.
"You're such a grown-up, and you don't appreciate your parents' hard work at all!"
"In our village, how many children go to high school and need their parents to come and accompany them?"
Before discovering Chi Chan's learning talent, Zhang Qiaoyue had adopted a laissez-faire approach to her management.
But now, Zhang Qiaoyue adopts a repressive style of education for her three children.
You might start to think: spoiling your child is bad for them!
No matter how well her children did, Zhang Qiaoyue would only point out their mistakes and think they could have done better!
But Chi Chan, who has been reborn, has long been used to Zhang Qiaoyue's sharp tongue but kind heart.
"Mom, where are you staying tonight? Why don't you come back to the dorm with me and squeeze in?"
What would I do if I went back with you?
Your roommates will complain again soon!
I'm out on my own, so I'll just find a hotel to stay in for the night.
Chi Chan nodded in agreement.
Zhang Qiaoyue will definitely look for those small hotels that cost 30 or 40 yuan a night.
She couldn't persuade him, so she simply stopped trying.
If you were to suggest finding Zhang Qiaoyue a better hotel, she definitely wouldn't go.
Chi Chan's earnings from the summer vacation are still in her bank account.
Online payment has become popular, but Xiaochi Chan from her previous life didn't activate it until she entered university and made her first online purchase.
After being reborn, Chi Chan was busy with military training and studying, and didn't have time to do these things.
Although the No. 1 Middle School in the city is not strict about students' use of mobile phones, the students' parents are very strict about it.
Therefore, at the No. 1 High School in the city, students usually carry more cash.
In short, the few dozen yuan in cash that Chi Chan had was simply not enough for Zhang Qiaoyue to stay in a hotel.
The next morning, Chi Chan got up very early.
But Zhang Qiaoyue got up earlier than Chi Chan.
When Chi Chan finished washing up and arrived at the school gate, Zhang Qiaoyue was standing there with breakfast in hand, having waited for who knows how long.
Chi Chan quickly ran over and took the bag from Zhang Qiaoyue's hand.
"Mom, how long have we been waiting here?"
Didn't we agree on eight o'clock yesterday?
It's only 7:40 now.
"Let's go, let's find a house."
"Mom, isn't there another residential complex across from the one that sold the last apartment yesterday?"
Let's go check that out; that neighborhood is closer to the school.
"The two communities are connected, how close can they really be?"
Besides, it's an old neighborhood, and I saw that most of the residents were elderly!
The environment isn't as good as this!
Zhang Qiaoyue hesitated.
"The two residential areas are indeed next to each other, but their gates face south and north respectively."
In this way, the old neighborhood will be much closer to the school!
It's only two or three kilometers from school, so I can walk or bike to school and get some exercise too.
"Okay, okay—let's go see!"
"Anyway, it's your place to live."
Zhang Qiaoyue no longer wanted to compete with Chi Chan.
Chi Chan chuckled inwardly and led Zhang Qiaoyue toward the house she had already chosen.
The neighborhood is indeed old and lacks greenery, but the apartment layouts are excellent and spacious.
Chi Chan took Zhang Qiaoyue to see a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor.
Facing north, the bedroom is bright and airy, and the kitchen and living room are both very spacious.
There's also a vacant lot in front of the house. The landlord said that this vacant lot can be used freely in the future.
The price is a bit high.
800?
Why aren't you lowering the price?
"The single room I rented with your dad in Guangdong Province only cost six hundred a month!"
"This won't do. Why do we need such a large living room and kitchen?"
They want to give me a garage? I don't even own a car, why would I need a garage?
The house also has a storage room, but it's just my daughter and me living there. How much stuff could we possibly have? Do we really need a whole storage room?
Chi Chan watched as Zhang Qiaoyue's expression changed instantly.
The landlord across the street, listening to Zhang Qiaoyue's scathing critique of his house, had a stiff face.
Chi Chan could only give the landlord an apologetic smile.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, but I really like this house of yours. Would it be convenient for you to wait here for a while? I want to talk to my mom."
The landlord nodded.
That little girl is so sweet-talking and knows how to talk; she's a true student of the No. 1 High School in the city!
If this little girl hadn't said last time that she really liked this house and asked him to help her keep it, he would have rented it out long ago, okay?
Although this neighborhood is old, it has a good location, and he takes excellent care of his house.
The house is fully furnished and equipped with all necessary appliances.
Recently, several families have inquired about renting the place for their daughters/sons at the No. 1 Middle School in the city to accompany them while they study, but he has refused them all.
I kept it for this little girl because I promised her!
"Don't try to stop me. Anyone who rents such an expensive house is a fool with too much money!"
Zhang Qiaoyue was reluctantly pulled into the bedroom by Chi Chan.
Chi Chan closed the door.
"Mom, I like this house. Didn't you notice that this building is the innermost and quietest one in the neighborhood?"
"So what? There are plenty of quiet houses out there."
Zhang Qiaoyue remained unmoved.
