Chapter 93: Do you want to move back home?
Hearing that his father wanted to talk to him about something, Jiang Hao stopped talking and looked at Jiang Jianguo silently.
After hearing the old woman's reminder, Jiang Jianguo finally remembered and patted his head.
"When I get older, I tend to forget things,"
Turning around to see Jiang Hao staring at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Don't stare at me like that, kid. I just want to ask if you and Shi Luo can move back to our house and vacate the single room in the Youth League Courtyard."
Jiang Hao frowned, very confused. "We live together well, why do we have to move out? Besides, Shi Luo has paid the rent this year."
Jiang Jianguo said patiently, "A new group of educated youth will arrive tomorrow. There will be eight of them this time, which is quite a lot.
I figured that some of these educated youth would need to live in single rooms, but the single rooms at the back of the educated youth compound were all full, so I wanted to free up one or two to avoid making a fuss when they arrived.
At the beginning of this year, Zhou Lihua's house lease expired. She said she had no money to rent it and wanted to live in a dormitory. Isn't this just one room?
I was thinking that you have a room at home, which is much bigger than the single room in the Youth Hostel. Moreover, our house is half brick and half stone, which is much better than the adobe house in the Youth Hostel.
If you two move back home, you won't have to pay rent, which will save you some money. Besides, your mother and I can take care of you better if you two live at home."
Liu Cuihua listened to the old man and quickly said,
"Your father is right. The more you two can save, the better. Didn't we split up this year? Our household registration is also separate. Each household can raise two chickens. A few days ago, your sisters-in-law all went to exchange for half-grown hens, saying that it would be more convenient for them to eat eggs at home.
Even your fourth sister-in-law has changed. After school, her family, Jiangxi, takes Jiangbei to dig wild vegetables and insects to feed the chickens. I know you don’t like to do these things, but if you live at home, mother will help you to change the chicks and feed them. You and Shi Luo will not have to go out to change eggs in the future.
Aren't you also planting vegetables on your private plot? Then you won't have to run back and forth to get vegetables when you live at home, and it will be much more convenient to eat vegetables.
Besides, you already have a stove in your house, and the pot is already set up, so it will be very convenient for you to cook at home in the future."
Jiang Hao knew that what his mother said made sense, and living at home would indeed have many conveniences, but he was still worried that it would be inconvenient for Shi Luo and himself to live at home.
After all, although the Jiang family has split up, they still live in the same courtyard. If I live at home for a long time, I will definitely have interactions with my family in the future.
Since they have an intersection, it is inevitable that there will be some quarrels. If there are quarrels and conflicts, they will definitely be unhappy. Jiang Hao does not want Shi Luo to be unhappy.
When he built the stove in the house, his brothers helped him build it when they were building the stove at home. Even the pot was bought for him by his four brothers together. Jiang Hao only found out about it after it was all done. So generally speaking, Jiang Hao really didn't think about bringing Shi Luo home to live with him.
Jiang Jianguo knew what Jiang Hao was worried about, and after thinking for a while he said,
"In fact, it's really inconvenient for you to live in the Youth House. Take the youths in the front yard for example. None of them are worry-free. Now there are eight more youths coming. Who knows what kind of chaos this Youth House will become in the future?
The educated youth went to the countryside in batches. I estimated that sooner or later the big bunk bed in the front yard might not be able to accommodate them. At that time, I would definitely not allow one person to occupy a room. I would charge a lower rent and some single rooms might have to accommodate two or three people.
At that time, can you still live with other educated youth? Even if Shi Luo can, you can't. After all, you are not an educated youth. No one will say anything if there are few educated youth. But if there are more, you will definitely not be able to live in the educated youth compound. Then you will have to move out.
Wasn't there a situation a few years ago where multiple people lived in a single room? I remember at least three people living in a single room. Later, some educated youth got married or returned to the city, and the single rooms became vacant.
Liu Cuihua saw that her son was somewhat interested and quickly said,
"Besides, didn't He Baoya marry next door to you? I heard that whenever someone from your place wants to eat something delicious, she will curse at them from across the yard. You guys can't even enjoy your meal, right?
You've brought Shi Luo back for dinner a few times before, and he's stayed at home once or twice. I don't think Shi Luo has any difficulty adapting. You should talk to him. After all, it's just the two of you living at home. It's not much different from being at the Youth League Home. On the contrary, it has fewer troubles.
Besides, it's not good for your house to be empty all the time. If the Youth League Home is not big enough and someone sets their sights on our house, your father, as the team leader, will find it difficult to refuse. However, it will be inconvenient to let outsiders live in our house given our conditions and situation.
But Shi Luo is different. Not to mention that we are a family in secret, he is also my godson in public, so even if he moves in, no one will say anything gossipy. "
That's right, Shi Luo not only recognized Liu Cuihua as his godmother, but he had also been brought home by Jiang Hao several times. The first time was the day before Jiang Hai was due to return to the team. Jiang Hai took the initiative to ask Jiang Hao to invite Shi Luo to his house for dinner, to meet him, and to spend some time together.
The meal was held in Liu Cuihua's house. It was a reunion dinner for the Jiang family. Each family contributed something, making for a large and lively table.
At that time, Liu Cuihua told her family that when she first saw Shi Luo, she knew that he was a sensible and lovable boy, and she and Jiang Jianguo adopted Shi Luo as their godson on the spot.
From that time on, Jiang Hao would often bring Shi Luo home with him and some food to eat, of course, they always ate at Liu Cuihua's place.
