Hua Zhian also knew that the house was farther away from their school, and just as he had guessed, the old man had no intention of letting them move into the house.
"Okay, I'll go to the area near the school first thing tomorrow morning to take a look." This is a house that belongs to him, and he is very excited about it.
As for writing my own father's name on it, what does it matter? The house in my hometown is still in my grandfather's name.
Xie Lanqiao wasn't as optimistic as him. When the two of them were last, she whispered, "Why don't we just stay in the school dormitory? Even if we buy a house, it will cost a lot of money to furnish and move, and we won't be able to afford it."
She did have a dowry and the betrothal gifts given by the Hua family, but for the next few years, they would only be students, and they needed some money to have confidence.
Hua Zhian said, "You don't need to worry about these things. I'll take care of it. Once we find a place, I'll do some odd jobs when I have time. We'll take it slow."
He knew he couldn't compare to his older brother's family wealth, but he also had the pride of a man. Now that he was married, how could he not provide for his wife and future children?
Jiang Yi also talked to his wife about tomorrow's plans, "I ran into Comrade Shouheng earlier. He said he has a few big houses, but they're a bit pricey. How about we go look at them tomorrow?"
He originally wanted to tell the Hua family, but they had already made up their minds to buy several small houses and live separately, so he didn't bring it up.
Actually, this is quite good. It's good to separate the family now, which will save a lot of disputes in the future.
Hua Xiangyun, as a woman who married out of the family, had no intention of getting involved, but since her family was living a peaceful life, their lives could be much more peaceful as well.
Hua Xiangyun naturally had no objections, but she didn't have that much money on hand right now. "I don't know if they accept gold?"
“No problem, I’ll find someone to exchange them,” Jiang Yi said. He hadn’t just come here to wander around and buy those two houses; he already knew a lot about the place. “I haven’t touched the US dollars my master gave me last time. Maybe the other party will need some of these.”
Hua Xiangyun, "...These people are thinking about going abroad."
Jiang Yi: "Yeah, we're scared of all the trouble they've caused. We just returned the house to them, and now we're already thinking about selling it."
Those who can go abroad all have connections overseas. Now, these people have seized a little opportunity and started thinking about selling off their assets.
"I always thought the moon was rounder outside, but I'll find out when they go out." Jiang Yi felt that he was walking his own path, and whether he would regret it later was a matter of opinion.
If you're smart and capable, you might soar to great heights; otherwise, if you fall on hard times and want to come back, it won't be so easy.
“I’m telling you, old man, when we move here, we’ll have to find someone to renovate it.” Tian Guihua was both satisfied and critical of the courtyard. “Those tiny rooms look really awkward. We’ll have to rebuild it into a big house.”
"That kitchen that's been built in the corner, maybe we should tear it down and build a shed over it to store bicycles or something."
Hua Guangzong said, "Yes, you decide all these things. You know our family; you're in charge."
"And if you find going to public restrooms inconvenient, we can have someone build a small restroom next to it, just like Xiaoguai's family has now, so that it won't be inconvenient for us old folks to go out."
Hua Zhian, who was following behind with his child in his arms, was caught off guard and felt a little envious. Although the two elderly people had their share of bickering throughout their lives, they always discussed things together.
"This is good. In the future, the children will have their own lives, and the two of us old folks can enjoy a few years of peace and quiet."
After Hua Guangzong finished speaking, he turned to Hua Zhiping and said, "When you start school, bring the children over in the morning. Your grandmother and I will take care of them, but we must pick them up at night. We are too old to stay up all night."
It wasn't that he didn't love his great-grandson, but Wei Dong was just too noisy and disruptive, never letting him have a moment's peace at night. He wasn't going to be stubborn and cause trouble for himself and his child.
Hua Zhiping said, "Grandpa, this is what we're thinking. We'd like to find someone to help look after the child. Could you and Grandma stay with us for a while? We're not comfortable leaving the child with a stranger."
He was a little apprehensive when he made this request. If the old man was unwilling to help them, they would have to find a more suitable candidate.
Hua Guangzong stopped Tian Guihua and readily agreed, "That's fine. Anyway, our house will probably be repaired in a while, so it's no problem for me to come and take care of your child for a period of time."
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma," Hua Zhiping and Li Lijuan said, their last trace of worry gone, and their thanks were especially loud.
Once they were far away from the boys, Tian Guihua asked, puzzled, "Why did you agree to stay there?"
Even if the houses here need renovation, they have to come over frequently to keep an eye on them, so where would they find the time?
"Have you forgotten about that family we ran into this morning? Do you think Zhiping and his partner could handle them?"
"They're all grown up, how much more can they be bullied?"
Besides, that family at least cares about saving face; they probably wouldn't go that far. And the children are grown up; they should be allowed to stand on their own two feet.
Tian Guihua didn't think there was anything wrong with this. On the surface, Zhiping seemed honest and kind, but this kid was much more cunning than Zhian.
“We’re only going to stay for a few days to keep an eye on things for them. Do you really think you can just leave the child in the hands of strangers?” Hua Guangzong hadn’t intended to do that either. “When you were looking at the room just now, didn’t you notice the newspapers on the wall?”
“Isn’t it normal to cover the wall with newspapers?” Tian Guihua couldn’t think of anything wrong with it.
"It has a missing person notice posted on it, and it's for young children." Over the years, Hua Guangzong has heard many stories of children being abducted, with the chances of them being found being extremely slim.
Every family's child is precious, so they all have to help take care of my child no matter what, because the child can't leave the sight of their family.
How dedicated can someone be to taking care of you? You should at least spend some time getting to know them before making a decision.
Tian Guihua said, "...Then let's move there."
Although Hua Xiangyun and Jiang Yi were walking behind, they heard everything.
"I didn't expect Grandpa to have such keen observation skills." Hua Xiangyun was quite impressed. She went into the courtyard and examined it carefully, but she paid more attention to the feng shui.
She made a point of observing the condition of the room's interior, but she didn't really notice the newspaper.
"When we have children in the future, we'll keep a closer eye on them," Jiang Yi whispered in her ear.
