Although Ruan Shengpeng was promoted, he still had to hand over the reins to someone else in the military region. This time, the army commander was not directly promoted from the military region, and someone else had to come and hand over the reins.
The house for the Commander-in-Chief has been vacated, and Ruan Shengpeng is busy with his work, while Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongjia have taken over the renovation.
That day, Yao Yanxin rode in Yao Tongjia's car with Xiaobuding to this small villa. It was a three-story Western-style house with a style reminiscent of the Republic of China era.
Yao Tongjia liked it very much after seeing it: "Mom, this house is nice!"
Yao Yanxin also liked it very much: "If there are no unexpected events this time, we will live here for ten years!" If Ruan Shengpeng does not postpone his retirement, then he will live here for ten years.
However, people in high positions generally do not retire normally. Commander-in-Chief Ruan Shengpeng certainly would not retire on time unless he strongly requests it.
They were going to live there for at least ten years, so they had to keep it well-maintained. The mother and daughter opened the door and were greeted by a garden full of flowers and plants. It seemed that the wife of the former commander-in-chief liked to grow flowers and plants.
Yao Yanxin also liked the garden full of flowers and plants. She walked around the yard and said, "This yard doesn't need to be tidied up, right, Little Pudding? Do you like it?"
Little Pudding picked a flower with her chubby little hands: "I like it!"
The word "like" made Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongjia smile. The three of them walked into the house, where they found a spacious living room.
Now that all the furniture has been moved out, leaving only the spacious living room, Yao Tongjia couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder everyone wants to be an official; this villa looks quite large!"
Yao Yanxin nodded: "This living room is probably 100 square meters, and there are several rooms next to it. Your dad wants to put a room on the first floor for your grandfather to live in!"
"Grandpa is finally willing to come and stay this time?" We had invited Old Man Ruan to stay before, but he would only come occasionally, and not for more than a few days.
Yao Yanxin sighed: "Your dad said that the old man looks very old, and his shoulders have become much thinner. He is afraid that the old man will pass away without his relatives around him, which would be too desolate."
Yao Tongjia didn't care: "If Grandpa is willing to come, we can live together!"
At first, she had some issues with her grandfather, but after meeting them, Grandpa Ruan became fairly fair in his dealings, and Grandma Ruan also passed away.
Ruan Tian received her due punishment, and Ruan Shengzhi is also not doing well now, so she let the matter go. Now that the old man is old and wants to live with her, then let them live together!
If the old man is coming to stay, then one of the three rooms downstairs will be a sunny room for him, and the room next door will be set up as a study for Ruan Shengpeng to handle official business.
There's one more room to set up as a guest room. We need to buy beds and desks for all of these. Yao Tongjia took out a pen and wrote down what needs to be bought. Of course, the living room needs the most things.
The living room was too big, so Yao Tongjia and her mother discussed it and decided to use half of it as a dining room. Now that there are more people in the family, they bought a large round table.
We bought wooden chairs for the living room, along with two coffee tables, two benches, and four single seats, so that everyone can sit down when they are all together.
After noting down everything on the first floor, they went upstairs. There were four rooms on the second floor and four rooms on the third floor. Yao Yanxin chose the master bedroom on the second floor, as it was quite spacious and could accommodate an extra bed.
On the second floor, we've prepared a separate room for Pudding. We'll let her sleep alone when she gets a little older!
On the third floor, Yao Tongjia chose the master bedroom, and next to her, Yao Tongxu and his wife also had their room decorated, with all the items to be purchased meticulously recorded.
Nowadays, you don't need coupons to buy many things; you can buy them as long as you have money. For Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongjia, money is just a number now.
After making their notes, the two of them went to the furniture store to buy things. The mother and daughter didn't care about the price at all when buying things; they only cared about comfort and safety.
The two of them each took charge of a few items, pointing out various things, and in less than an afternoon, they had bought all the items they had noted down!
Furniture stores now offer home delivery services. After customers pay, they schedule a delivery time and then head to the next location.
They are now planning to buy home appliances. They want to buy two washing machines, one downstairs and one upstairs, at least ten fans, and two color TVs.
After this round of purchases, a little over 20,000 yuan had been spent. Yao Tongjia couldn't help but think to herself, "Money really lasts a long time these days."
In later times, it would cost at least 100,000 to buy it. When the two returned to the military region excitedly, the courtyard was deserted.
Knowing that Ruan Shengpeng was busy, they didn't mind. They cooked and played with Xiaobuding until Xiaobuding was drowsy, but they still hadn't seen Ruan Shengpeng.
Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongjia both sensed something was wrong. They were currently in the transition period, and Ruan Shengpeng would not be going out to handle matters.
Just then, the phone rang. Yao Yanxin went over and answered it. After listening to the call, she immediately exclaimed, "What? How is Grandpa now?"
Yao Yanxin hung up the phone: "Tongtong, your grandfather is in the hospital being treated, and his condition is not good!"
Yao Tongjia's head spun for a moment: "How could that be? Didn't you say before that although Grandpa was thin, he was still a good person?"
Yao Yanxin shook her head: "Your father didn't say anything in detail, he only said that he's being treated at the military hospital and that we should go there now!"
Yao Tongjia looked at Xiaobuding: "I'll take Xiaobuding over to show my grandma. Mom, do you have any food at home? I'll bring some for my dad!"
Yao Yanxin immediately ran into the kitchen, while Yao Tongjia, carrying the already sleeping Pudding, quickly went to the front yard. Xiao Yan heard the knocking and asked in surprise, "Who could it be so late?"
The eagle-eyed man came out to open the door and saw Yao Tongjia, asking in surprise, "Tongtong, why are you here now? Is Little Pudding asleep?"
Xiao Yan heard the noise and ran out: "What happened?"
Yao Tongjia, holding Xiaobuding, said, "My dad called and said my grandpa is in the hospital being treated, and he wants my mom and me to come over now!"
Xiao Yan was shocked: "Didn't your mother say that Grandpa was going to move over there to live with you? How come he's suddenly in the hospital for emergency treatment?"
"Little Pudding can sleep here with her aunt. You go on your way. I'll take care of Little Pudding for the next few days. Be careful while you drive!"
Xiao Yan also knew that Grandpa Ruan was not young, and many things were uncertain when people got old, so it was best not to delay their trip to the hospital!
The hawk-eyed man was still worried: "How about I take you there?"
Yao Tongjia shook her head: "I don't need to drive there myself. There's nothing else. I'm leaving!"
Yao Yanxin had warmed up dinner for Ruan Shengpeng beforehand, so she could just pretend to leave. When the two of them arrived at the hospital, the doctor happened to come out and talk about the old man's condition!
