Chapter 56
New life
On a cold morning, the two old men got up and began to clear the thick snow on the roof.
Grandpa Li stood on the second-floor landing, beating the snow on the roof with a long stick. "The snow is really thick."
"Yes, it must be cleared away, otherwise the roof will not be able to bear such a heavy weight."
Grandma Li walked out the door and raised her head and shouted, "It's time to eat."
"Oh, I see."
"Come on, brother, it's time to eat."
Old Man Wang shook off the snow on his body and responded, "Okay."
Grandma Li and Xiao Kai brought the food to the small table.
The four of them sat together and had breakfast.
The food was hot, the house was cozy, and everyone felt warm in their hearts while eating.
The boy's nose was covered with sweat as he ate.
Grandma Li picked up a piece of egg with chopsticks and put it into the boy's bowl. "I don't know if Xinxin ate it or not."
Xiao Kai thanked happily, "Thank you, grandma." Xiao Kai ate with tears in his eyes. God knows these were the most satisfying meals he had eaten in the past two days.
Grandpa Li, "Leave some for Xinxin to keep warm in the pot. If she hasn't eaten it yet, she can have some. If she has, we can save it for dinner so it won't be wasted."
"The stove is on all day anyway, so I might as well save some in case I don't have enough to eat!"
Grandma Li nodded, "Okay."
Old man Wang opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start, so he closed it again.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Grandpa Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong, brother? Just say whatever you want to say."
Old man Wang smiled embarrassedly. He wanted to borrow Fang Xin's car to go out and find a bed, but he really couldn't open his mouth.
"I'm going out with Xiao Kai in a while."
"What are you going out for?"
"I want to go out and chop some trees and build a bed."
Grandpa Li suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean the bed? I see there is one in the living room. It should be prepared for you."
Old man Wang also saw the bed, and he couldn't believe it was prepared for them.
Old man Wang's eyes turned red, and he was touched. "Thank you so much."
"I'll ask you when Xinxin comes."
Then, Grandpa Li spoke again in a serious tone, "This child has had to find a new place to live, clean up the house, go out to find a bed and then bring it back. She must have been very tired and suffered a lot these days. We must remember her kindness in our hearts and not do anything to hurt her."
"Don't worry, brother. I will never do anything to hurt Xinxin or do anything to let her down." Old Man Wang immediately raised his hand to guarantee.
Xiao Kai nodded repeatedly and he would not betray his sister.
Grandpa Li nodded, "Okay, let's eat."
…
After breakfast, Fang Xin took the dog for a stroll towards his second elder brother's home.
It was a really cold day. It was so cold that there was not a single good day. There were strong winds and heavy snow.
After breakfast, several people sat together and chatted.
Everyone's mental state is very different from the past. No more sad faces, everyone has a smile on their face.
When Old Man Wang saw Fang Xin coming, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Xin Xin is here, come in quickly."
Then he looked at Grandpa Li again.
Grandpa Li gave him a reassuring look in return.
Fang Xin frowned. What were these two flirting with each other for?
Grandma Li stood up and immediately pulled Fang Xin over to sit by the stove to warm themselves. "Hurry up and cook. Have you eaten yet?"
"I ate it and came here after eating."
Grandma Li got up and took the kettle off the stove, then poured Fang Xin a cup of water. "Well, just eat it. You need to eat more rice and gain more weight."
"kindness."
"Your grandfather was afraid that you didn't want to cook, so he left some for you."
Fang Xin lowered his head and took a sip of hot water. "I ate it. I really ate it."
"Ahem," Grandpa Li cleared his throat, "Well, is the bed in the living room prepared for Old Wang?"
Fang Xin nodded, "Yes, I'll use it anyway, so I just pulled one extra one back."
Old Man Wang's eyes were filled with excitement. He had not thought that they were also involved. He stood up and bowed deeply, his voice full of gratitude, "Thank you for thinking of us, thank you for saving us so many times, I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart."
Fang Xin held the water cup in his hand, silently feeling the warmth from the cup, and sighed in his heart.
The two elders wanted to help the others, and she couldn't say anything. She couldn't favor one over the other and prepare things for the two elders but not for them.
She lowered her head and took another sip of hot water. "It's okay. You don't have to take it to heart."
Grandpa Li smiled and said to Old Man Wang, "Brother, come and sit down."
"What are your plans? Do you want to live in the same house with us or find another one for yourself?"
"You can live anywhere you want. You can live in the same house with us. I see there are several rooms here. We can live together as companions."
Old Man Wang sat down, shook his head, and said with a smile, "No, let's go out and find another room. I've seen a lot of houses here."
Grandpa Li nodded, "That's fine."
Now that Old Man Wang no longer has to worry about not having a bed to sleep in, he can no longer sit still.
He stood up and put on his coat. "I'm going to go out and look for a suitable house."
Grandpa Li also stood up and said, "Look at you, why are you so anxious?"
"The sooner you finish, the quicker it will be. You won't have to worry about it."
"Okay, I'll go over and help you."
Grandma Li also stood up and said, "I'll go help too."
Fang Xin saw that everyone was about to leave, and she had no intention of helping, so she also stood up and said, "You guys are busy, I'm going back."
Grandma Li: "Will you come for dinner tonight?"
"No, I won't come over tonight."
The dog lifted up its butt, tut-tut-tut, and followed Fang Xin away.
Soon, Old Man Wang chose a villa with an intact roof three villas away from his second hometown.
I opened the door lock and went in to take a look and was very satisfied.
A few people first cleared the snow on the roof.
Then I chose a room facing south.
Fang Xin even reserved a bucket of waterproof coating.
The three of them worked quickly and finished cleaning the house in just one day.
The three of them worked together to carry the big bed into the room and put it away.
The more Old Wang looked at the big bed, the more he liked it.
They really met a noble person, and their lives are getting better and better.
Old man Wang and his grandson were excited and happy, and very grateful to Fang Xin.
After renovating the house, Old Man Wang started moving his belongings into the house, enriching the daily necessities in the house, such as pots and pans, knives, utensils, clothes, shoes and socks. He even took a few bundles of firewood that he was reluctant to throw away.
As the saying goes, a poor home is worth a thousand gold coins. If anything is missing, it will be useless.
In this way, the five of them settled down in a villa in the northern suburbs.
Started a new life.
