Fortunately, life is better now, and they have finally waited for this day. Thinking that Ye Zi will go to the capital to study soon, why are they still staying in the small village?
It will be even more difficult for Ye Zi to come back once she leaves. The children will still miss them, and they will also miss Ye Zi. The road is so far and it will be difficult to see each other. They don’t want this to be the last time they see each other.
They are still in good health and can move around, so shouldn't they pave the way for more leaves? Although they may not need leaves, this is their thoughtfulness.
"That's not a big deal. How did you get here? Did you take a train or a car? Did you have dinner?"
Chen Ye glanced at his watch. It was lunch time, but these old men didn't come over. They all forgot about eating.
The main reason is that I have been busy all day recently. I don’t feel hungry even at mealtimes, and I almost miss my meals.
"No, is there anything to eat?" Old man Luo felt that there was no need to be polite with Ye Zi.
"I'll do it right away. Fourth brother, go to the state-owned restaurant and see if there's anything delicious today. I'll make some rice and stir-fry two dishes. We'll have a bite to eat first, and then we'll have a good meal in the evening."
"Okay, I'll go now. I'm on my way, so I'll see if there's anything good in the department store."
Gao Fei put down the book in his hand: "I'll go, you can help Ye Zi cook."
One-Eye waved his hand: "Just deal with one bite. We're going to leave by car in the evening, so there's no need to make too much."
"Ah! Where are you going? You finally come here, so why don't you stay for a few more days before going back?" Chen Ye was not happy. How could he leave on the same day he came? He would have to wait until late at night to get home. How could he rest assured with a few old men?
"We're not going back to the village. Isn't it true that you have an exam soon? After the exam, are you going to the capital?"
Chen Ye nodded, somewhat confused. "We should wait until the acceptance letter arrives before we can set off. I will then go back to the village to pick you up. We can then go together and I'll be able to take care of you on the way."
She planned to go back to the village after the exam and discuss with the old men. They would move there together. They already had a house there, so they would live together. She was confident that she could provide for the four old men in their old age.
I was also very confident that I could convince the four old men directly, so before I had time to go back, the old men came.
Old Man Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. We thought we'd go over and clean up first. When you get there, we'll have a place to live. You can live wherever you like."
"Ah! You all know I bought a house, but I don't know if it's ready yet. If it's not ready, how are you going to live there? How about we wait for me and leave together? I'm worried about you guys going out alone."
"What's there to worry about? You're a grown man, how could you get lost? Don't underestimate us. When we were young, we also traveled all over the country, and we've been to many more places than you, a girl."
"You also bought a house?" This was what surprised Old Man Feng.
Seeing Ye Zi nod, Old Man Feng turned around and said to the two old brothers, "I told you that I had told you in advance, but you two disagreed and insisted on giving you a surprise when the time comes. Now there's only surprise but no joy, right?"
Old Man Luo and One-Eye rolled their eyes at Old Man Feng and said, "You said everything. How come you are so talkative?"
Old Man Luo chuckled and said, "Girl, the situation didn't allow it before. I didn't tell you that your Grandpa Luo has a house in the capital. That's my hometown."
"As soon as I heard about what happened to those four people, I contacted an old friend and used my connections to get the house back. It's already been renovated, and we can move in directly. Your room has been cleaned up for you, so you can just move in directly."
One-Eye asked, "Where did you buy that house?"
Chen Ye glanced at Cen Zixiang. She didn't ask, so Cen Zixiang quickly replied, "In Baili Hutong, Dongcheng District."
"Hey, this is a coincidence. Your Grandpa Luo's house is nearby. I also have a house there, but I don't know what happened to my house now. I'll think about getting it back when I get there."
"This is great. Even if Ye Zi doesn't live with us, we're still close enough for visiting friends."
Old Man Feng asked in confusion, "Why haven't I heard before that you have a house in the capital? Is the title deed from before or after liberation?"
"Why did you say all this before? We still don't know if we can get it back. If we can't get it back, wouldn't it be pointless to say it? The land deed specifies that it's for after liberation. Before liberation, I wouldn't even consider it."
Aren’t land deeds from before liberation just like waste paper?
Old Man Luo patted the one-eyed man and said, "Leave it to me. I'll ask someone to get it for you when the time comes. I was born and raised in the capital, so I know a few people there. I can do it for you, as long as your house deed is real."
"Then it must be real. This is what I earned when I was repairing antiques. The name is mine, so how can it be wrong?"
Old Man Feng slammed the table and said, "If that's the case, can you give me back the house you gave me, Old Man Luo? It's in West City. I remember it's not small. It used to be the residence of an official."
"Hey, you're hiding pretty well. You didn't come from the mountains, so how come you have a house in the capital?" These old men also knew each other after liberation.
Old Man Feng rolled his eyes and said, "I came from the mountains, but I wasn't born there. My hometown is still under the feet of the emperor."
"Oh, so it seems that I am the only outsider?" One-Eye said. He was not a native of the capital. He went there to make a living when he was young.
"You say that as if Old Man Chen isn't an outsider."
Chen Ye said that he seemed to have forgotten what he asked: "What did my grandfather say?"
"What else can I say? You've got to come along. What are you doing sitting around in the countryside? Who wants to spend all day fiddling with the land when you can have a good life?"
Chen Ye...No, it's as if you guys have actually farmed the land.
"Shuanzhu hasn't taken the exam yet. Once Shuanzhu finishes his exam, the old man will bring Shuanzhu to find us."
"Has the student registration been processed?" She couldn't do this either. If it wasn't processed yet, she would call her father. Now she also knew to seek external help.
"Don't worry, we can still handle this. Once Shuanzhu arrives, we can find a nearby school and enroll him directly. We must not delay Shuanzhu's studies."
"You guys plan to live together?"
Chen Ye originally planned to have several old men go and live with her, but the situation is different now. The three grandfathers all have their own houses, so how can the young grandfather live there with peace of mind?
