After counting the amount, Jian Yuelan issued a receipt, sent the customer away, and went back upstairs to start changing the size.
Xiao Ding brought up the meal at lunch time.
"Sister-in-law, it's time to eat!"
"Thanks!"
Jian Yuelan put down her needlework, stretched her neck, and took the food handed to her by Xiao Ding. "Have you and Ah Hong found a house?"
"Watch carefully."
Xiao Ding sat down and wanted to hear Jian Yuelan's opinion.
"We looked at three sets in total, two in the village and one on Ci'an Road next door."
As he spoke, he explained in detail the advantages and disadvantages of having three apartments.
"Sister-in-law, which one do you think is better?"
Jian Yuelan thought all three sets were good. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It depends on where your focus is."
“For education, choose Ci’an Road.”
"If you want money or to get rich overnight, choose the village."
Xiao Ding's eyes suddenly widened. "Can I get rich overnight?"
"Yes."
Jian Yuelan smiled and said, "Society is developing. Before 1977, could you have imagined that the college entrance examination would be restored?"
"cannot!"
"No one thought of reform and opening up, but now that we've opened up and are bolder, future development will get better and better."
Xiao Ding's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment and slapped himself on the leg.
"I believe my sister-in-law. I've decided to buy both sets."
Um?
How dare Xiao Ding think so now?
"Ah Hong knows you are so bold?"
"I know."
He laughed and said, "Actually, it was Ah Hong's idea to buy both sets together, but we just hadn't made up our minds yet."
In other words, regardless of her words or not, they would still buy two sets after some hesitation and struggle.
"Then go buy it, but before you buy it, I think you should get married first."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he said it, Xiao Ding immediately became hesitant.
"Sister-in-law, Ah Hong and I would like to ask you for leave."
"Meet your parents?"
"I have to go to Ah Hong's house to propose marriage."
Jian Yuelan raised her eyes to look at him, "Aren't you going home?"
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly. "No, my parents said there's no place for me at home. My brothers and sisters don't welcome me back. They told me to get married and live a good life. I can just send some money back every month as a sign of filial piety. I don't have to worry about anything else. Everything in my hometown has nothing to do with me."
"They won't come to Ancheng for the wedding either."
Taking a deep breath, he said helplessly, "I told them I wanted to be a live-in son-in-law, and they thought it was great."
"I think it's good too. Let's just treat each other as strangers from now on."
He talked a lot, and Jian Yuelan was just a listener without interrupting.
Because she knew that Xiao Ding only treated her as a trash can to vent his emotions. He didn't expect to get comfort from her, nor did he need her comfort.
Xiao Ding, who walked on the line between life and death and almost had a close encounter with the King of Hell, actually has a very strong character.
There was definitely sadness, but relief followed.
Things that you have never desired will be gone once they are gone.
In the evening, Ye Linxing brought the baby to pick her up and found that Xiao Ding was in a bad mood. After chatting with him for a few words, he learned what had happened. He was silent for a long time before sighing to Jian Yuelan on the way home, "Every family has its own problems."
"Xiao Ding, what a pity! His parents will regret it later."
The child who came back from collecting herbs with his grandfather and learned "The Art of War" said:
