Chapter 683: Acidic Words
"Okay! The old lady is moving today, hurry up and get dressed, and let's go take a look. We can't have the old lady moving without any of us showing up, otherwise if the guards see us, they will think we are unfilial children."
Song's mother naturally had her own little thoughts when she said this. She felt that since the old lady had moved out of that house, the house would be empty there anyway, so she might as well let the second son discuss it with the old lady.
Give that house to them to live in. He had long had his eyes on the old lady's house. The house was very spacious, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and it was very clean and tidy.
What’s important is that my son lives across the street from me.
Although she doesn't like her granddaughter very much, it is a comfortable thing to see her son and granddaughter every day.
It's better than the current dead silence with just the two of them at home.
Song Qinghe was also preparing to go find the old man, because he wanted to discuss the promotion to dean with the old lady and ask her to make a phone call.
Given his age, this might be his last hope of getting promoted in his life.
If he fails to get promoted this time, he will face retirement. Who wouldn't want to fight hard at the last minute?
Fang Xiaohui secretly curled her lips, thinking that it was all in vain that Fu, who had always obeyed her orders, wasted his time.
If I had known that my mother-in-law would go without me saying anything, why would I have wasted this talisman?
Both the parents-in-law went to visit the old lady and the old man, so naturally she, the granddaughter-in-law, could not be left behind.
So the family of three took a car and headed straight to the courtyard. Although it was their first time there, fortunately they knew the address and the driver inquired for a long time, and finally they arrived at the place.
It was easy to recognize the place once we arrived, after all, there was only one family moving.
As soon as they saw this courtyard, the three of them felt jealous.
They originally thought it was just a small courtyard house with about seven or eight rooms, plus a yard and a patio, which wasn't much better.
The courtyard houses that we usually see all look shabby. Some of the courtyard houses, although large, have dozens of people living in one yard, with neighbors all living together. It is annoying to look at the crowds and gossips.
The courtyard in front of me is different.
It should be said that the surrounding courtyards are all different.
To be precise, this courtyard and the other three courtyards around it form a larger courtyard.
Each Siheyuan is a courtyard with two entrances.
The four courtyards combined together actually formed the shape of a larger courtyard.
When Song's father and mother saw such a big house, they felt a little jealous. Although it was impossible for the old man to buy all four courtyards, this courtyard with two entrances was amazing.
There are more than a dozen houses in the two courtyards.
As soon as you walk in, you will feel friendly and peaceful, with a strong breath of life. The courtyard is spacious and of appropriate size. There are flowers and stones planted in the courtyard, as well as crabapple trees, pomegranate bonsai, and goldfish raised in large tanks, which symbolizes good luck.
It is an ideal outdoor living space, like a large open-air living room, bringing the world closer to people's hearts.
When they walked in, they felt refreshed.
Old Mrs. Song has just instructed the young comrades to arrange all the furniture in the house. In fact, these are the last batch of things, and the aunt in the family is busy running around.
Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi also came to help.
Their house has been almost packed up and they will be moving in in a few days.
However, when they heard that the old man and the old lady were planning to move in first, they came over to help.
The two collided with each other at once.
When Song's mother saw Fan Xiuying, she was furious.
Jiang Xiaoxiao is used to trying to please the old man, and that's ok with the old lady, but Jiang Xiaoxiao's parents are even more troublesome. Look, they have entered the house, but their children are not around to show their filial piety, but outsiders are running to show off in front of the old man and the old lady.
"Hey, the little dad and mom are here too!"
Only then did Old Mrs. Song and Old Mr. Song realize that there were three uninvited guests.
"Why are you here?"
The old man and his wife are the kind of people who never want to trouble others. Even though they didn't plan to ask their children to help with the move, after all, they have people on hand. As long as they make a phone call, many people from the guard company will come to help, so moving is not a big deal.
There were aunts at home helping with the cleanup, and Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi helped them for several days, so even the cleaning of the house was done by two people helping out.
The old man and the old lady were thinking of living together in the future, and Fan Xiuying and her family also wanted to clean up their own courtyard.
Anyway, one family has to clean up, and two families have to clean up too, so why not just clean up together?
I didn't pay much attention to these things. I had originally planned to notify my sons to come over for a gathering after I moved here, which would also be a formal notification to them that they would be living here in their old age.
Unexpectedly, the second son and his wife got the news first.
As soon as she saw Fang Xiaohui following behind them, the old lady understood that it must be Fang Xiaohui who told them.
Their move made such a big noise, how could Fang Xiaohui and her family who lived across the street not know about it?
"How come my parents didn't tell us about such a big thing as moving? At least let us come and help. Why bother outsiders? You are slapping us, your son and daughter-in-law, in the face."
Song's mother felt a little aggrieved. Why couldn't the old man and the old lady consider them a little? They were already so grown-ups, and if the old man and the old lady did this, how would outsiders view their sons and grandchildren.
Old Master Song was impatient. It was just a small matter, something that could be easily solved, but he made a big deal out of it when it came to his daughter-in-law.
"Why do we have to listen to you when we move? For your sake, we have to put up with ourselves. If you really respect us old people, you should have known what we are going to do.
It only happens once a month. What is it that requires us to tell you? What outsiders? Xiao Fan and Xiao Jiang are Xiao Xiao's parents. They are our relatives. How can they become outsiders in your mouth?
The couple helped clean up the house, and it didn't help you guys. It became a problem. You guys have too many things to do. Now that you're here, give me a hand and get to work."
With the old man's words, Song's father, Song's mother and Fang Xiaohui had no choice but to lend a hand.
The old man smiled and said to Fan Xiuying Jiang honestly, "Don't they dislike you as an outsider? Come on! You are a guest, come into the house and sit down to drink tea, and let them take care of the rest."
It was not appropriate for Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi to intervene and help at this time. They had good intentions, but after hearing what others said, it seemed as if they were taking away other people's children's jobs.
The two of them had no choice but to stop and follow the old man and the old lady into the house to drink tea.
Song's father, Song's mother and Fang Xiaohui were busy all the time and the three of them were so busy that their backs and waists ached. Although they were not needed to move furniture, they still had to do the small and delicate work and could not just stand there and watch.
The busy schedule lasted until the afternoon, and Fan Xiuying and the others were the ones who were drinking tea and eating there, enjoying a leisurely time.
Fang Xiaohui glared, thinking that her mother-in-law was always causing trouble instead of helping anything. It would be enough for her to come and show off her achievements, but she had to gossip about you.
This time, even though the words were said and the old man asked you to perform, you still exhausted yourself.
