Over the years, regardless of whether Lin Xiaomeng is Lin Yuan's biological aunt or not, she has always treated Lin Yuan as her own child.
It's one thing to be reluctant to part with this house, but it's quite another to give Lin Yuan a better environment.
"Actually, I was originally planning to move after Yuanyuan finished elementary school. Okay, I'll go look for a place now."
“Auntie, you can look into buying a house later. When I first came here, I bought two houses, right? Both houses are fully furnished but I haven’t lived in them. We can just move there. It’s close to this area. Aunt Zhang lives in that neighborhood too. You have a car now, so you can drive the kids to school in the morning.”
Zhang Min's eyes lit up. "Oh, that would be perfect! The two kids can't get up in the morning and don't want to take the bus. Their dad and I are exhausted every day riding our bicycles, each carrying one of them to school. It would be so much more convenient if we had a car."
The group of people, one after another, made a decision for Lin Xiaomeng.
"Okay, let's move. Pack your things and move now."
It was already stuck on the weekend, and if I don't finish packing in the next couple of days, I'll have to wait until next week to move out.
Zhang Min took out her phone and made a call to Su Mulin.
"Mulin, come over here quickly and bring the two children with you. Aunt Meng is planning to move to the other side of our neighborhood, so come and help her."
Su Mulin is still working at his old workplace. After the workplace reform, he now has a two-day weekend, so Su Mulin is probably just lounging around at home.
In just fifteen minutes, he and his two children were helping out.
Knowing that Lin Xiaomeng was moving out, Gao Huifang brought her two children over to help.
“Sigh, once you all move away, the alley won’t be as lively as it used to be. But it’s alright, I’ll be moving soon too. It’s just that once I move, it will be harder to get together again.” Gao Huifang looked at her neighbors and sighed.
“Aunt Gao, the way you’re talking makes it sound like we’re going to another city. Besides, isn’t your shop right near our new house? We might even have to patronize your business often,” Lin Wei said.
"Yes, yes, it is quite close."
Lin Wei's house was fully furnished; in short, you could move in right away with just your bags. All Lin Xiaomeng had to do was pack her clothes.
They arrived at the new house at 3 p.m.
Lin Wei asked, "Aunt, would you like to live alone, or with Yuanyuan?"
Before Lin Xiaomeng could answer, Lin Yuan asked, "Can't I live alone?"
"You're dreaming."
Lin Wei slapped Lin Yuan on the forehead.
It wasn't that she didn't want the three of them to live together, but the apartment only had two bedrooms and a living room, and three people would need three rooms, which wasn't enough.
Lin Xiaomeng said, "I'll take Yuanyuan to school, and then I'll live here with Yuanyuan. You can live next door by yourself."
"Okay, I'll live alone."
Su Sijin's eyes darted around, and he immediately took Lin Wei's arm. "Sister Weiwei, do you have any spare rooms at your house? I'll stay with you. I'll be a good girl and I definitely won't cause any trouble."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Min kicked Su Sijin hard in the buttocks.
"Have I treated you badly? I've fed you and given you a place to stay, and you're already complaining? You want to stay at Weiwei's house? You're not Yuanyuan, how could Weiwei let you stay? Alright, stop embarrassing yourself."
"Take a break, take a break, let's go out for dinner together tonight."
Boiling water and making tea, everyone sat on the sofa chatting, as if time had been pulled back to when Lin Wei and her younger brother first arrived 9 years ago.
"I still remember that year during Chinese New Year, someone's family refused to give those two kids a red envelope. It was only a few yuan, but it caused quite a stir among the neighbors, who were gossiping about it. It was a very ugly situation, but nobody expected it to end like that. By the way, do you know what happened to those two kids afterward?"
Gao Huifang's son, Wu Hongye, said: "I remember that he was very thin and hungry in his early years. He dropped out of school after finishing primary school, and I don't know what happened after that."
"In short, it's a terrible thing. The adults are doing inhuman things, and the children are suffering."
And that...
By the time this wave of nostalgia ended, it was already past 6 o'clock.
After Lin Wei urged them several times, they finally went to a restaurant together to eat and chat. They talked until the restaurant closed before everyone went home.
On the way home.
Lin Xiaomeng sighed, "It's no wonder everyone doesn't want to break up. It's easy to separate, but it's hard to get back together."
“What’s so difficult about it? Aunt Zhang lives in the same neighborhood as us, and you even started a company together. Aunt Gao’s house is in the neighborhood next to ours. Although it’s a bit far, her shop is right next to the school.”
"As long as we don't deliberately distance ourselves, there will always be a time when we can get together again."
It's about today's blind date—
"Auntie, I won't force you to find a partner. It's your own business. As long as you feel that this lifestyle is comfortable for you, I won't interfere."
If it were someone else who had climbed up to such a wealthy woman and said such things, it would be obvious without much thought that it was probably for money.
But Lin Wei's career is many times better than Lin Xiaomeng's, and her savings are many times greater than Lin Xiaomeng's.
To say something like that, it can only be from the heart, and nothing but the heart.
“I know, you don’t need to worry about me. You should worry about yourself. When I was your age, I already had two kids.”
have to.
He can still joke around, so it seems his mood has really improved.
"No rush. It's not just me; it seems like everyone gets married quite late."
At least that's the case with their company.
More than half of the employees are single.

"Weiwei, our new house is all renovated, so can we start planning our wedding now?"
The new house was not only renovated, but it had even been sitting there for more than two months.
Shen Jize has already proposed, and now all that's left is for Lin Wei to agree before the wedding can proceed.
Lin Wei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's get married now, and maybe we can have a baby before Qianxi's birthday."
Seeing that Lin Wei did not refuse, Shen Jize smiled and said, "Actually, I have been preparing for this for a long time. It is September now, how about National Day? It is a day that the country considers a celebration, so it should be fine, it's just a bit rushed."
"School only started in September, there are still 3 weeks left. If the banquet is not a problem, it is not too late to start sending out invitations now."
"I'll go back and ask my aunt to draft a list. I also need to sort things out here. By the way, how many tables did you arrange? What if it's not enough? And what about your relatives?"
At this point, Shen Jize asked Lin Wei for her opinion.
“There are too many relatives in Hong Kong, and it’s inconvenient to bring them all over. What I was thinking was that since we’re having a wedding here at noon, I could apply for a flight route so that after the wedding here, we can go to Hong Kong and have another one in the evening.”
Lin Wei was speechless. "Have you arranged everything? What if I don't agree?"
