Chapter 345: Small Courtyard
Su Runrun was not reluctant to leave Su Manman, but was afraid that Su Manman would get off the car after she left and something might happen.
Only when she saw her on the train and saw it leave with her own eyes could she feel at ease.
"Finally they left! Cheng Jin, let's go!"
"Where are you going?"
"Grandma told me before I came here to go to Uncle Li's house and ask if there was any news about the house."
Xiao Chengjin already knew that the Su family was going to buy a house in the county town, and he was not surprised. After all, Su Aimin was so rich, wasn't it normal for him to buy a house? Li Guohua's family did not live in the staff quarters of the food factory. They had a small courtyard in the county town, with a good location and a good environment.
Su Ruanruan had been here with Grandma Chen before, so she found the place easily.
It was working hours and Li Guohua was not at home. Only the old man of the Li family, Li Chenggong, was at home.
Li Chenggong had also seen Su Runruan before. After knowing the purpose of Su Runruan's visit, he smiled.
"I thought your grandma would be here by now, but I didn't expect it would be you."
Su Ruanruan smiled and explained, "My grandpa is back, he's not in good health and needs someone to be with him, my grandma is at home taking care of him!"
"Is your grandpa really back?"
Li Chenggong also heard about this in the county town, but he always thought that others were talking nonsense.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true! "Yes, my grandpa is back, he..."
Su Runrun gave a brief account of the situation, and when she was done she noticed that Li Chenggong's eyes were tearful.
"Good! Good! Ai Min is still alive! That's great! Come on, I'll take you to see the house. When this place is cleaned up, you can move in and live here. Then your grandfather and I can see each other and talk often."
Li Chenggong was not in good health and could not walk long distances. It was still cold that day, and it was impossible for him to run all the way to the Third Production Brigade to see Su Aimin.
Su Ruanruan smiled and said, "I will tell my grandfather when I go back today."
Li Chenggong locked the door and walked with Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin for about fifteen minutes before stopping at the gate of a school.
The courtyard's doors were made of two thick wooden doors, but the red paint on them was already mottled and looked very worn.
Li Chenggong took out the key and opened the door. As he walked in, he explained to Su Ruanruan, "I thought your grandma would come and see the house, so I asked for the key first."
It can be seen that this courtyard has not been inhabited for a long time. The yard is in a mess, with withered weeds from last year, snow that has not completely melted, and some wood of varying lengths and thicknesses.
There is a well in the corner of the yard, but I don’t know if it can still be used.
"This house has a backyard. If you really live here, you can grow some vegetables in the backyard."
"The one in the middle is the main room. The four rooms on the left and right can accommodate people. The one against the east wall is the kitchen, and the half room next to it is a small warehouse."
"Although this yard is a little messy, the houses are in good condition. You can find someone to fix it up and live in it."
As Li Chenggong spoke, he led Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin around the yard.
After looking around, Su Runrun was quite satisfied with this yard.
There are enough rooms, definitely enough for us to live in.
There is a well in the front yard, so water is convenient, and you can grow vegetables in the backyard.
There is a big tree in the front yard. New buds have already sprouted on the branches, but it is still impossible to tell what kind of tree it is.
But when summer comes, it's quite nice to cool off in the shade of the trees.
