Chapter 219 Buying a House for Chaoyang
The old man who opened the door had a full head of white hair and a tuft of white beard on his chin...
It looks like...
He did indeed possess a certain otherworldly air about him!
Upon hearing this, he paused for a moment, then burst into laughter!
"Construction's here! You've come to see the house, right? Come on in! Everything's ready inside..."
Xie Jianshe led Zhou Ye and Chaoyang inside. The courtyard wasn't large, but there was a swing in the center of it!
Chaoyang was absolutely thrilled!
"I like... Xiao Ye... sitting on the swing!"
The rising sun waved to Zhou Ye!
Zhou smiled and said, "Go ahead and do what you like!"
Chaoyang wasn't a spoilsport; he was having fun playing by himself!
The old man looked at him with pleasure and said softly, "This child..."
Xie Jianshe nodded: "Yes, from a young age, his intelligence was different from other children! Now he's like a child of a few years old!"
The old man looked at him with pity: "He seems like a bright child, what a pity! Did you buy this house?"
Zhou also laughed and said, "It was bought for this child; he's the owner!"
The old man seemed to have misunderstood, and looked at Zhou Ye with a very gentle gaze: "It's hard to find family members like you!"
Give this child a sense of security for the future!
There were plans involved!
Xie Jianshe: "Grandpa, what's the price of this house?"
The old man chuckled: "I wasn't planning to sell it for much money originally, the original price was eight thousand yuan! But if you're buying it for this child, then it'll be five thousand yuan!"
"What?"
Xie Jianshe was astonished!
Although the house is small, the decoration and furnishings are excellent! Especially the furniture, which is all made of high-quality solid wood!
Five thousand yuan, you could say you got a steal!
The old man chuckled and said, "You know I'm not short of money! This house has been with me for many years, and I cherish it very much!"
I tidied up everything in this house myself!
You are all kind-hearted, and I believe you will take good care of this old man in the future!
"This child is innocent and pure, a perfect match for this house..."
Zhou also looked up at the rising sun...
It seems that Chaoyang really is blessed!
Without saying a word, we immediately signed the agreement and went to complete the formalities!
The formalities were all completed in one morning! Chaoyang happily explored the white house, reluctant to leave!
"You really like it here!"
Zhou also sighed.
Chaoyang chuckled: "I like it...it's beautiful! I really like it..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye's lips curled up in a smile!
If you like it, that's fine...
Taking your money makes me feel a little better!
"Chaoyang, shall I have Grandpa come and live with you?"
There still needs to be an adult to look after things at home...
"Okay, I like being with Grandpa... I like being with Grandpa..."
At noon, Zhou Ye, Xie Jianshe, and Chaoyang went back to their grandfather's place. Sister-in-law Li was very happy, her joy was so great she couldn't stop smiling: "Comrade Zhou, would you like to eat here?"
"Okay, let's eat here. Buy more groceries!"
Sister-in-law Li nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
"Hey... I haven't received the money yet!"
Sister-in-law Li turned around and said with a smile, "Comrade Zhou, we still have some of the money you gave us last time! That should be enough!"
I'll be right back, hehe..."
Zhou Yuanqiao and Su Siyou took the two children out. They're not here right now, but they'll probably be back soon!
really……
When Sister Li returned from grocery shopping, she was followed by a family of four!
Seeing Zhou Ye return, Su Siyou was still very excited: "Xiao Ye, you're back? Chaoyang..."
"The sun is back too!"
Her response was a dissatisfied snort from Chaoyang!
Zhou Ye nodded...
"What? You bought a house for Chaoyang?"
Su Si looked at Zhou Ye in shock, and couldn't even hold the food in her hand!
She could understand Zhou Ye taking care of Chaoyang, but buying a house for this kid was something she never expected.
Zhou Ye quietly continued eating!
After finishing her meal, Su Si couldn't hold back any longer!
"Xiao Ye, tell your mother what you think. This sunrise has nothing to do with us."
You've taken such good care of him, even giving him a meal; that's more than enough!
Why are you still buying a house?
Even though it's the provincial capital, this house isn't cheap, is it?
Zhou Ye glanced at Chaoyang playing in the yard and said to his mother casually, "Mom, we were very lucky to go to Beijing to find Chaoyang this time!"
Chaoyang found the money his parents had left him at home!
There's a lot of money, enough for him to spend the rest of his life!
"It's enough to buy a house, let alone in the provincial capital, or even in Beijing!"
"If you look down on Chaoyang, I'll help Chaoyang buy a house, is that okay? It's not my money that's being spent!"
It belongs to Chaoyang itself!
From now on, Sister-in-law Li will go to take care of Chaoyang. The other nanny will stay with you! Of course, you'll be responsible for her expenses from now on!
Su Si took a deep breath: "Xiao Ye, with you taking such good care of Chaoyang, can your husband really rest assured?"
Zhou looked at his mother in surprise: "What are you worried about? Are you worried that I like Chaoyang? Or is Xie Jianshe worried that I like Chaoyang?"
Su Siyou certainly didn't think that way.
A child in Chaoyang...
Who would like that!
But... she felt her daughter was being too devoted to Chaoyang!
She was... feeling a little uncomfortable!
"Xiao Ye, this is not your responsibility. You and Jianshe will have your own children in the future, and it's inevitable that you won't be able to take care of them all!"
How could he possibly be more important than his family?
"So what does Mom think I should do? Just ignore him... and let a person with intellectual disabilities fend for himself?"
Su Si was speechless...
How could she say such a thing!
"That……"
Su Si thought for a moment: "I've already bought the house... but Sister Li can't go there! I'm already used to Sister Li's cooking!"
The children have gotten used to it!
Besides, your grandfather still needs to be taken care of at home!
"You've called Sister-in-law Li away, what will happen to the family?"
Zhou Ye suddenly felt much colder...
How did it turn out like this?
Before separating from my parents, I was their only child, and they doted on and loved me... Even before the separation, they couldn't wait to plan everything for my future!
But……
It seems like a lot has changed since I last saw you!
I should have accepted all of this a long time ago, shouldn't I?
Perhaps, to my parents, I am now a stranger with whom they share a blood relationship!
Perhaps there is a sliver of warmth, but...
What's the point?
So be it, strangers are strangers. I've been given a second chance at life, and I've managed to rescue my parents. Shouldn't I be satisfied?
Then my task is complete!
They are safe...
You'll be free then!
Let them live their own lives from now on. The money has already been returned to them, and that's enough for them to live comfortably!
As for whether they can be exonerated, that's their business...
I can't solve it myself...
My grandfather was really good to me, so it is my duty to take care of him and provide for him in his old age!
Taking good care of Grandpa and Chaoyang makes a lifetime worthwhile!
As for Xie Jianshe, let's see how things go. If he meets someone he likes in the future, then let him be!
Perhaps I'm no longer capable of loving someone...
"Grandpa will move there too! Consider this house a gift for you. Sister-in-law Li is gone, but there's still an aunt here!"
I can help you take care of your two children!
"What?"
"Mom, no need to say anything more. If you have any objections to this matter, then I will take both of my sisters-in-law with me!"
You should find someone suitable to take care of the child yourself!
That's the decision!
After Zhou finished speaking, before Su Si could object, he went to the kitchen to talk to Sister Li!
"No...you..."
Li's sister-in-law was naturally overjoyed.
“Okay, I will definitely follow you! I will take good care of the old man and Chaoyang…”
When I told my grandfather about this, he was very distressed.
"You're so young, yet you take on all the household chores... You must be so tired!"
If your parents are difficult to get along with, just let them go out!
They're even buying another house separately!
"Grandpa, I'm telling the truth! Chaoyang really did get me the money during our trip to Beijing!"
That's a lot of money!
When we return to Beijing, we'll buy another house for Chaoyang in Beijing!
That's enough!
Grandpa Zhou nodded: "Good, you've grown up, you can make all the decisions now! But, Xiao Ye, let me tell you, you don't owe your parents anything, you've already done very well!"
Did you know?
"Um!"
Zhou Ye smiled and nodded!
As Su Si packed her things with her grandfather and moved, tears streamed down her face.
"Xiao Ye, are you blaming me?"
Zhou shook his head and didn't say anything.
Su Si cried even harder!
The two children were so frightened they didn't know what to do! They hid in their father's arms, silent and speechless!
There weren't many things, but there were a lot of people moving them!
It was cleaned up very quickly!
Zhou didn't linger and set off with his grandfather!
When Sister Li arrived in her new environment, she was so excited that she started cleaning the kitchen!
They were so efficient, I thought there was a bonus coming up!
After settling Grandpa and Chaoyang in, Zhou came out and saw Sister Li talking to a young couple.
"Sister-in-law Li?"
"Hey, Comrade Zhou, you're here! This is my good-for-nothing son and daughter-in-law! I just saw everyone was busy and I didn't have time to go grocery shopping!"
My son and his family just arrived!
I asked them to help me buy groceries, haha…
Li Da, Li's eldest son, saw Zhou Ye and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes! He only knew that the person who asked his mother to cook was a young woman, but he didn't expect her to be so young!
However, it was still a polite greeting!
"Hello, you see, today is a big day for the relocation, so we should at least prepare a nice meal!"
Just tell me what kind of food you would like!
Zhou also looked at Li Da, and Li's wife quickly explained, "Comrade Zhou, my son works for the supply and marketing cooperative, purchasing vegetables and meat!"
So you can find the right ones for all of these!
"Just say so!"
Zhou nodded, surprised that Sister Li's son had such a good job! It must be tough for her to come out and earn money to help support the family!
Zhou didn't think much of it, took out ten yuan and handed it to Sister Li: "You know our tastes, just buy whatever you like!"
"OK!"
After Zhou left, Sister-in-law Li said to Li Da, "You silly child, I've told you so many times, don't come, don't come..."
You insisted on coming!
What are you curious about? This is a matter for the host!
I'm really busy today, go buy some groceries!
If there's fish, buy fish. The family likes pork ribs, so you can buy some there too! Vegetables are scarce in winter, so buy whatever you can find!
Li Da took the ten yuan and asked in surprise, "Mom, is this family so rich? They only give ten yuan for a meal?"
Is this really a meal?
Sister-in-law Li smiled and said, "That's not true. But it's the host's business if they have money. You have to be careful with your spending!"
Don't be so extravagant!
Remember what I just said!
"Okay, don't worry! Your daughter-in-law and I will be leaving now!"
After waiting for a while, Li Da returned!
He was carrying two large, fresh fish! They certainly couldn't be eaten in one meal!
Besides fish, I also bought a few pounds of pork ribs and two pounds of pork belly!
In addition, I bought some seasonal vegetables!
Sister-in-law Li was overjoyed when she saw it! She definitely couldn't have bought something this good herself!
"You're something else, kid!"
"This fish is so big, where did you buy it?!"
"Hey... what's the big deal? I'm a purchasing agent, this is nothing..."
Besides, I have connections!
"Our supply and marketing cooperative kept a few of these fish, and I brought this biggest one! It's just... a bit pricey!"
Sister-in-law Li suddenly realized: "How much did it cost?"
Li Da touched his head sheepishly, not daring to speak.
"What do you mean? You didn't spend almost all your money in one meal, did you?"
"Oh dear, it's not almost there, it's all gone!"
"What?"
Sister-in-law Li was horrified!
"You...you kid, you've spent it all? Do you know how much that is? Ten dollars! How many people can only earn ten dollars a month?"
What did I say to you when you left?
Don't be so extravagant! How am I supposed to explain this to the family?
"Oh, Mom, don't worry! The host family is so rich, this house they bought is really beautiful!"
It's not like we're short of money!
Moreover, look at those two big fish, they're a rare find!
Okay, I'm off now!
"You cook!"
Sister-in-law Li glared at him and said, "Get out!"
Li Da scratched his head and left!
Sister-in-law Li looked at the fish in her hand and sighed.
One fish was used to make two dishes: braised fish and deep-fried fish...
In addition, I added pork ribs and pork belly, and made a whole table full of dishes.
"This fish is pretty good today!"
Zhou also exclaimed in admiration!
Sister-in-law Li said embarrassedly, "My son is a bit simple-minded. When he saw the fresh fish, he couldn't resist and bought two!"
This fish is big, but it's expensive...
"Freshness naturally means higher price!"
Zhou also said something casually.
Sister-in-law Li was finally a little relieved!
After finishing cleaning up, Zhou found Sister-in-law Li and said, "Sister-in-law, I know we've spent all our money today, don't worry about it too much..."
Here, take this twenty yuan!
Buy some groceries or something, and let me know when you've spent all your money!
Chaoyang and my grandpa, don't feed them large amounts of meat and fish at every meal; they can't digest it all! But it has to be a balanced diet.
"Okay, don't worry!"
"I'll leave this place to you. I'll come over in a few days!"
"good!"
Zhou never expected that his momentary indulgence would almost cause his grandfather and Chaoyang to suffer!
That day, while Sister Li was eating, the kitchen door was pushed open...
I thought Chaoyang hadn't eaten enough...
When he looked up, he was surprised to see his own son!
"You...how did you get here?"
"Mom, it's too cold outside! Let me go inside and talk!"
"Okay, go ahead and say it!"
When Li Da saw that there was meat in his sister-in-law's bowl, his face lit up with joy.
"Mom, you're living too well! There's even meat? I said I'd come over for dinner, but you wouldn't let me!"
"Let me have a couple of bites!"
"What are you eating? Oh dear... that's my lunch!"
Li's sister-in-law said speechlessly.
"Mom, it's like this, I have some good news to tell you today! Hehe..."
"What is it?"
"Your daughter-in-law is pregnant! Haha..."
"What? Really?"
"Yes, she's pregnant! Look, our house isn't far from here, so why don't you have your daughter-in-law come over for meals from now on!"
It won't interfere with your earning money, nor will it interfere with your daughter-in-law's meals!
How about it? "
Li Da talked as he ate!
“No way, the master gave me such a good job, and I don’t have to do any heavy work!”
How could I possibly let you guys come over for dinner!
Besides, the master's family eats meat every day, and each additional person means more money. I don't even dare to eat too much! How could you possibly have the nerve to do that!
Sister-in-law Li refused outright!
"Mom, your daughter-in-law is pregnant! This is the first child in our Li family! You cook so well, we can't do without you!"
You can't just abandon us, can you?
Li's wife said helplessly, "Of course I can't just ignore it. Since she's pregnant, she should stay home and rest!"
I'm still a little pregnant, and I can cook for myself!
I can just eat at your cafeteria!
"I'll quit this job when your wife is about to give birth, okay?"
"no!"
Li Da refused outright!
"Mom, you can't quit your job! Your salary is higher than mine, and you get bonuses every now and then!"
Others would kill for this!
"Besides, the host family is easy to take care of, and there's not much to do!"
"So what do you mean?!"
Sister-in-law Li was getting annoyed!
Li Da said directly, "Mom, look, there's only an old man and a mentally challenged person here! They're both easy to take care of!"
They probably wouldn't mind bringing a pregnant woman to dinner, right?
It's just one more pair of chopsticks.
Or you could tell them you're asking your daughter-in-law to come and help?
Sister-in-law Li: "No, absolutely not!"
"Mom...are you really not going to care about your daughter-in-law anymore? She's the eldest grandson! If you keep doing this, what will you do if Xiaoyun holds a grudge against you?"
Sister-in-law Li sighed and said, "Our children and grandchildren are all debts! I said I'd quit my job, but you won't listen. What do you want from me?"
"Just because my master treats me well doesn't mean I can take advantage of him!"
We can't take advantage of this!
"What's the advantage here? It's just a meal. Besides, if your daughter-in-law gets better, you'll feel better too, won't you?"
A flicker of hesitation crossed Sister-in-law Li's face!
Why……
Perhaps the host family won't find out?
The old man seemed like someone who didn't care about anything, as long as Chaoyang didn't say anything.
Yes or no?
Yes, but... Sister Li was still unhappy!
"Okay, but only one meal at noon!"
Li Da: "Okay, okay, then it's settled! I'll have Xiaoyun come over tomorrow!"
After Li Da left, Li's wife sighed.
this……
But the thought of having a grandson soon makes me feel pretty good!
The next day at noon, thinking that Xiaoyun was coming over, I took out the fish, chopped up the head, and made soup!
The snow-white fish soup looks incredibly tempting!
Boil the tofu, add chopped green onions...
Then I steamed some rice and made two vegetarian dishes!
It's getting cold, so a hot soup is very comforting.
Satisfied with the food, Sister Li carried it to the main room and invited Grandpa Zhou and Chaoyang to eat.
Back in the kitchen, I saw my daughter-in-law already there, ladling the fish soup with a spoon...
"Hey... what are you doing?"
"Mom, what's wrong? Didn't you prepare this fish soup for me? It's so delicious!"
Sister-in-law Li got angry when she saw her daughter-in-law drinking directly from the basin.
"Xiaoyun, this is for the master, not for you. How can you drink it directly from the pot?"
How are others supposed to drink it if you do that?
Sister-in-law Li scolded him in a low voice.
Xiaoyun was startled; her mother-in-law had never said anything like that to her face.
"Mom, what are you doing? You scared me to death! I was just hungry. It's your grandson who wants fish soup!"
Besides, I thought you made it just for me!
"What can I say to you? This is the host's house, all the materials belong to the host, why should I make it for you?"
You...you..."
Sister-in-law Li didn't know what to say!
How can anyone eat this?!
"Then take it away! I'm not drinking it!"
Li's wife was furious: "You drank it, and you let others drink it? How can you be so uncouth!"
"Can't you just scoop it out and drink it yourself?"
"Okay, Mom, stop scolding me! We've already drunk it, so are you saying we shouldn't give this soup to the host?"
"Is that mine?"
With that, he grinned and picked up the glass to continue drinking!
Li's lips trembled a few times with anger, but thankfully she didn't say anything.
So he took the main course to the main room and said apologetically, "Uncle, Chaoyang, let's have something vegetarian for lunch. I'll go buy some pork this afternoon so we can steam some buns!"
"Okay... Sister Li, you go and eat, don't worry about us!"
"well……"
When they got to the kitchen, Xiaoyun had already finished the whole pot of fish soup! Sister-in-law Li was heartbroken…
I really don't know how they could drink such a huge bowl of it!
He rolled his eyes and started eating!
The daughter-in-law didn't hold back and said directly, "Mom, if you eat such delicious food every day, your grandson will definitely grow up to be exceptionally good-looking!"
Extremely healthy!
You've found a great host this time! They're very generous. I heard from Li Da that we get to eat meat every day? That's wonderful...
Think about our family, we're lucky if we can eat meat once a month!
I don't know what delicious food to eat during the Chinese New Year!
"Mom, our family's New Year's supplies depend on you!"
Sister-in-law Li put down her rice bowl and said, "Don't come here again. I'm here for work, not to rob you."
Am I a thief?
"Whatever they eat is theirs, so don't get any funny ideas!"
"No, Mom, I've only been here one day. Are you going to stop me from coming? I didn't do anything! What's wrong with just a bowl of fish soup?"
"A bowl? You drank a whole basin!"
Sister-in-law Li emphasized.
The daughter-in-law was unhappy: "I don't care, I want to eat!"
"If you come and eat, I'll quit my job!"
Not to be outdone, Sister-in-law Li was just as fierce. I was thinking that I would just give her a bite of rice, but my daughter-in-law ate all the best parts of the meal!
How can you be so carefree!
This is shameless!
Xiaoyun immediately backed down...
We can't let my mother-in-law quit her job. She's the family's biggest earner right now, and if she loses that salary, the whole family will be in trouble!
"Mom, I was wrong... I was wrong... I know I was wrong..."
