Li Chu carried the child out of the house where Li Qiaoyun lived in the front yard, followed by her older sister Li Qin.
He had just returned from lunch when Qiaoyun's niece told him that his aunt was feeling unwell. He quickly called his sister to come and check on her.
It's not a big problem, just a normal reaction. It's just that her body is a little weaker than normal, so some reactions that are nothing to ordinary people are magnified several times over for her.
She carried her child into the pharmacy, intending to grab some medicine from the medicine drawer.
Little Choubao gets very excited every time he enters the pharmacy, pointing at the medicine cabinet and chattering away.
As Li Chu pointed to each medicine container, he patiently explained to the child what kind of medicine was inside and what its effects were.
Even though he knew the little guy couldn't understand anything, he would still explain it to him every time he came in and the child pointed to something.
The reason he did this was because he discovered that as long as he talked, Little Stinky would stop and seem to be listening very attentively. Once he stopped talking, Little Stinky would point to the next medicine box.
Li Qin, who was standing at the door and hadn't come in, looked at the grandfather and grandson inside with amusement.
After her younger brother came out with the medicine, she took it from him and asked, "Are you planning to train Choubao to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the future?"
"It's too early to talk about this now." Li Chu looked at his grandson in his arms with affection and shook his head.
"Let's talk about it when he's older. If he really wants to, we can train him to become a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. If he has a skill, he won't have to worry about going hungry no matter where he goes or what happens in the future."
Li Qin thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "You're right, there's always a need for doctors, but it's up to the child to make their own choice in the future."
The two walked to the backyard while talking, and Li Qin took the medicine directly into the kitchen to prepare it.
"By the way, Xiao Chu, when I took the child out for a walk this morning, I heard that He Yuzhu, who used to live in the courtyard, sold his house."
!
!
"Sister, what did you say?"
Li Chu, who was sitting on a stone bench holding her child and playing with the dog, was startled by her sister's words and stood up to walk to the kitchen door to ask.
"He Yuzhu sold his house, and Qin Huairu sold hers too. The two of them are planning to go to the south together."
"Has he gone mad? Is he really planning to abandon his son?"
Li Chu thought he had misheard, but it turned out to be true; the two of them even sold their houses and went to the south together.
"I don't know if he wants his son or not, but I heard from Old Duan's wife in the alley behind that He Yuzhu has already asked someone to buy his train ticket, and it seems he'll be leaving in the next day or two."
"This guy has really gone mad," Li Chu muttered. "When he didn't have a son, he longed for one, but now he's ruined his family for a widow. I really don't know what he's after."
"Sigh, I have to say his wife is too stubborn. She divorced him too quickly. Now look what's happened. She's really leaving. How is she going to raise three kids on her own?"
"Sister, you don't need to worry about that. Cui Chunmei is living a much more comfortable life now than when she was with He Yuzhu."
"How could that be? A woman with three children, and her family isn't from this area. How could she possibly live comfortably?"
Li Qin didn't believe this at all. When she worked in the neighborhood office, she had seen many widows raising their children on their own, and she had never seen anyone who was doing better than someone with a complete family.
"Sister, things are different now. Chunmei works at that Sichuan restaurant in Damao, managing the second and third floors. She earns over two hundred yuan a month, and Xiao'e gets her some receipts from time to time. How many restaurants can compare to her?"
"So much salary?" Li Qin stopped what she was doing.
"She can manage a restaurant?"
"Don't look down on her. When Chunmei was working in the factory, she was a team leader with excellent management skills. After she came to the restaurant, she followed her around for a while and she became very capable."
"Hey, I didn't realize that Cui Chunmei, who looks so delicate and weak, is actually quite capable. If that's the case, then she really doesn't care whether she needs a man or not."
"Yes, just the other day I heard that she was looking for a house to buy. Living in the backyard of a hotel all the time is not a long-term solution."
"This is a serious matter; it's always better to have your own home."
Li Qin paused here, turned her gaze away from the stove and looked at her younger brother at the door, just as Li Chu happened to look in.
"Sister, could it be that Cui Chunmei bought He Yuzhu's house?"
"You know what, that's what I was thinking too. Otherwise, who would want a house in a tenement? Even if you have the property rights, it's not easy to sell if you don't own the whole tenement."
They were right; those two rooms really were bought by Cui Chunmei, but no one knew it.
When He Yuzhu hinted that he was going to sell the house, Xu Damao already knew about it and also told Cui Chunmei.
Chunmei immediately decided to buy it, but she didn't want to have anything to do with that man anymore, so she asked Xu Damao to find someone to help her with the process.
Xu Damao didn't show up either. He found someone else, and even found someone at the street office, and smoothly transferred the two houses to Cui Chunmei's name.
He Yuzhu was completely unaware of all that was happening, and he was wondering how the house had sold so quickly.
However, because he was in a hurry to sell, he was ripped off badly, and the two houses plus the small house built outside only sold for a total of seven hundred yuan.
But there was nothing he could do; nobody was interested anymore, so he had to swallow his pride and bear it.
After receiving the property certificate and keys, Cui Chunmei didn't rush to move. She didn't plan to move there anytime soon. Both of her daughters were studying here, and her youngest son was attending daycare. Moving there would be inconvenient for everyone. In any case, Xu Damao didn't urge her.
"Someone even asked about your courtyard that day."
"Huh? Which courtyard are you asking about? The big one on the east side?"
"Yeah, I heard he wanted to buy it, and he seemed to be a boss. I haven't met him, I only heard about it from the people there, but no one told him who the house belongs to. It seems that Zhu Wen stepped in and got rid of that person."
Looks like you made the right choice by rushing to buy that yard back then.
"What's the point of buying the right thing? I wasn't planning on selling it anyway." Li Chu shook his head nonchalantly, then looked down at the little rascal in his arms and said, "That yard will be our little rascal's house from now on, okay?"
"oh oh……"
"Sister, look, my eldest grandson has already understood."
"Pfft..." Li Qin couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you really planning to pave the way for their future? Aren't you tired?"
