Once inside the house, before Xu Guiying could ask, Song Rongrong honestly told her everything.
After listening, Xu Guiying's face darkened. "How long did they talk?"
"It's only been two or three months. We went shopping together once, but that's all we did. Mom, please don't misunderstand." Song Rongrong looked very nervous.
Xu Guiying's face darkened slightly. "Where is he now?"
Song Rongrong hesitated and said, "She should be discharged from the hospital by now. I don't know either. We broke up a long time ago. Mom, this matter is over. Don't worry."
Xu Guiying looked at Song Rongrong with a complicated expression.
Song Rongrong felt uneasy under her mother's gaze. "Mom?"
Xu Guiying snapped out of her reverie and said, "You're leaving the country in a few days. If you have time, stay home and spend some time with your grandparents."
Song Rongrong nodded. "Mom, I know. Grandpa and Grandma went out for a walk just now. They should be back soon."
Xu Guiying nodded and went to prepare medicine for Song Yangmin.
On the other side, Song Yun left her shop at eight o'clock in the evening and headed towards Heping Lane. Her hand was still not fully healed, so she couldn't ride a bicycle for the time being.
Song Yun had over a thousand yuan in her savings account before, and now she has lost another eight hundred, so she has almost two thousand yuan left.
Song Yun wanted to buy a house so that she and Xiaoxiao could settle down and live a stable life. Renting was not a good option.
When Song Yun arrived outside the Song family home, she told her parents, brother, and sister-in-law about it. She wanted to buy a house like the Song family's courtyard.
Grandpa Song squinted and said, "I remember there are still three or four empty courtyards in this alley."
Song Xinfu nodded. "Yes, the family two doors down from Third Sister's has all gone abroad. I'll ask around for you tomorrow. If there aren't any suitable ones in Heping Lane, our neighborhood will do too."
Song Yun: "Thank you for your trouble, brother. If you don't have enough money, I'll save up some more."
After Song Yun left, Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu went back to their room to prepare for bed.
Xu Guiying pulled the quilt over herself, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's buy from the people in our alley first."
Xu Guiying remembers clearly that in her previous life, around 2010, Heping Lane was demolished. At that time, they had already sold their house and moved out of Heping Lane. She heard that even the smallest household here received more than 10 million yuan in compensation.
The Song family's house was of medium size, so the compensation they received was likely more than they expected.
Xu Guiying and her group didn't buy houses here before mainly because they were all acquaintances, and the news would leak out sooner or later. But Song Yun is different; Song Yun's house purchase is aboveboard.
"Old woman, why do you say that?"
Xu Guiying rolled her eyes at him, "It's close to us! If Xiong Jing and her gang come to cause trouble, we can get there quickly."
Song Xinfu thought it made sense, "I'll go ask about it tomorrow."
Xu Guiying closed her eyes to sleep, but then she started calculating the money in her savings account. She had deposited some more money in the past few months, and now there was about three thousand yuan in the account.
Xu Guiying then suddenly added, "We'll buy another one when we see a suitable shop or house."
Song Xinfu clicked his tongue, "Old woman, we have enough houses."
Xu Guiying: "Don't worry about it, I have my own ideas."
Song Xinfu: "..."
Fine, I'll just buy it. At worst, I can rent it out.
Meanwhile, the Qin family.
Qin Zheng is leaving the country in three days. His school is in New York. He has been staying at the Qin family home for the past few days, and Song Yingying is also there. The two siblings are keeping Qin's grandparents company.
Song Yingying will be a senior in high school in September.
Grandpa had asked her before, if Song Yingying also wanted to study abroad, then learning English would have to be put on the agenda. According to Song Yingying's current learning progress, she would have no problem passing the TOEFL.
Grandma Qin smiled and said, "If Yingying wants to study abroad next year, she should go to Columbia University, the same school as your brother, so they can look after each other."
Song Yingying muttered, "I don't know yet, it's too far away overseas."
Qin Zheng tapped her on the head, "What's so far away? It's not like there aren't planes. There are people abroad to take care of you. You little bookworm, just focus on your studies."
"You're the bookworm!"
Qin Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Song Yingying didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Don't bully your sister." Grandpa Qin glared at Qin Zheng, then said to Song Yingying, "Here's what we'll do: after you finish your exams this winter break, go to New York for a trip. Let your brother show you around, and then come back for the New Year."
Although the old man didn't have a good impression of foreign countries, he had to admit that the Russians and Americans had things worth learning from in terms of military and academic affairs.
The deal was quickly finalized, and Song Yingying will go to New York this winter break!
Because of the special status of Qin's grandparents, it is inconvenient for them to go abroad. So, Qin Baohua will take Yingying abroad when the time comes.
Song Rongrong was studying in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two nights before she left the country, the entire Song family had dinner together.
Song Zhicheng and Lu Hui have both arrived.
Er Gouzi's family's grocery store has opened. There are residential areas nearby, and their store has a wide variety of goods, so business is pretty good.
When Lu Hui and Song Qiumin are too busy, they will ask their second son to help.
In just one or two months, the shop made a net profit of more than two hundred yuan.
Song Yun's shop gradually started to recover.
The whole family gathered in the Song family courtyard, where they set up three large round tables and invited several neighbors to join them for a meal.
Aunt Wang, Uncle Sun, Zhuo Huai, the community director, and Chen Zhou also came...
Song Anmin and Song Jianmin arrived at the right time. Hearing the conversation inside, a fleeting look of envy, embarrassment, and then silence crossed their faces…
No one knocked on the door; they just sat outside the Song family's gate.
dejected.
Aunt Wang's pet dog, Xiao Bai, has arrived.
The dog had a bell tied around its neck, which jingled as it ran. It sniffed and smelled the third and fifth dogs.
The third brother sneered, "You little beast, how dare you laugh at me?"
The fifth brother sighed, "Third brother, I haven't cooked in a long time, and my skills have become rusty."
The third brother had a strange expression. "You don't mean you want to share an apartment with me, do you? I'd rather stay in the dorm and eat in the cafeteria."
He didn't want to waste money renting a place; the dormitory was free.
The fifth brother was speechless. "What I mean is, my skills have become rusty, and I no longer have the means to go home."
He used to be a servant, after all.
They don't even have the right to enter the house now.
Song Anmin: "..."
The two brothers didn't knock on the door. Given their parents' and grandparents' personalities, they probably wouldn't let them in. There were neighbors inside; it would be too embarrassing.
The two brothers sat for a while and were about to get up and leave when they saw the eldest brother arrive.
The eldest brother was also carrying some fruit.
"Brother, you can't get in. Go back."
Song Guomin narrowed his eyes. "You knocked on the door?"
Song Anmin curled his lip, "We can't even get in, so don't even mention it."
Song Guomin: "Third brother, watch your mouth!"
Song Jianmin couldn't stand it anymore, "Big brother, how dare you talk about third brother like that? I heard that Xiong Jing and her mother went to live with the Liu family. You're practically siding with them to the heavens! Xiong Jing and her family almost killed Third Aunt!"
Song Guomin's face was grim. "We haven't been back to the Liu family's place recently!"
The third brother rolled his eyes. "You don't know, do you? Who knows if Liu Aimei secretly went back!"
After he finished speaking, Song Guomin's expression changed slightly.
