Pei Tang turned around, her rosy face wrinkled into a bun, "Mom, you are a liar."

Shen Mingzhu bent down and scratched her nose, and said gently: "What did mom lie to you about?"

"You said you were living well here, but the house you live in is so small, the bed is so small, and the sofa is also small."

Compared with homes in China, the environment of apartments is much worse.

In a space with a total area of ​​no more than 30 square meters, excluding the living room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony, the remaining space is packed with a single bed, a desk and a double-door wardrobe.

Normally, Shen Mingzhu didn't feel cramped living alone, but now with the father and his two sons, as well as their luggage, in the house, it was inevitable that she felt cramped with nowhere to put her feet.

Shen Mingzhu didn't think it was hard to live in such a small apartment, but when the father and his two sons looked at her with distressed eyes, she couldn't help but feel a swelling in her heart.

It's really hard not to feel satisfied with this feeling of being loved.

"Although the apartment is a little small, it's enough for my mom to live in alone. And a small house has its advantages. It takes less time and effort to clean."

Pei Tang was not comforted by her words: "But you don't have to clean the house yourself at home. Here, not only do you live in such a shabby house, but you also have to clean the house and cook for yourself. Mom, you might as well stop studying and come home with us."

She is indeed a caring and thoughtful person. Although her words are naive and childish, they are very heartwarming.

Although the father and his two sons all disliked the small size of Shen Mingzhu's apartment, when Shen Mingzhu offered to send them to stay in a hotel, the three were unwilling to do so.

After discussion, Shen Mingzhu and Pei Tang slept on the bed, which she had agreed to at the airport.

The father and son slept on the floor.

After settling in, Shen Mingzhu took the father and two sons to tour the Cambridge campus and tried several of her favorite restaurants. They strolled around until nightfall, and the family of four returned to the small apartment under the starlight.

"Mom, help me get a towel."

"Honey, I forgot to bring my toothbrush."

Usually, Shen Mingzhu stays in the apartment at night, mostly reading and studying. It is quiet but lonely.

But tonight the apartment was filled with noise and warmth because of the arrival of my family.

By the time I turned off the lights and lay down, it was already half past ten.

"Mom, I can't sleep."

Because the bed was small, Pei Tang had to nestle in her arms.

Shen Mingzhu touched her daughter's face lovingly, "Then let mom read you a story?"

"good."

Shen Mingzhu turned sideways and turned on the desk lamp, and found that the father and son were not asleep either, both looking at her with their dark eyes open.

Shen Mingzhu was not surprised. Because of the jet lag, she didn't sleep well in the first few nights after arriving in London.

Lying down was torture, so the father and son simply changed their equipment and went out for a night run.

Pei Tang stayed in the apartment to rest with Shen Mingzhu.

The father and his two sons could stay awake, but Shen Mingzhu could not, as she had to get up early to go to class tomorrow.

Tired from running, the father and son found a late-night restaurant to eat and rest, so as not to wake up Shen Mingzhu if they went back.

"Buy your mother a big house."

"I'll go and see it tomorrow."

Pei Yang responded to his son's suggestion without even raising his head. He was also not happy to see his daughter-in-law suffering in such a simple and cramped apartment.

The next day, Shen Mingzhu went out for class, and the father and his two sons followed her out.

Under the guidance of the real estate agent, the father and his two sons quickly looked at an apartment located 500 meters away from the international students' apartment building.

The house is 70 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room, and a small round balcony.

Pei Yang was very satisfied, but Pei Ziheng thought the house was too old and asked Pei Yang to buy a detached house with a small courtyard for Shen Mingzhu.

Pei Yang was amused. "That's easy for you to say. You pay for it?"

During the Chinese New Year, he had emptied his family's savings just to buy a bag to please Shen Mingzhu.

He is already struggling to afford this old two-bedroom apartment, so how can he afford to buy a detached house in London, where land is so expensive?

"Well, I'll pay."

Pei Ziheng gave him a disdainful look, turned around and told the real estate agent his requirements in English, and the real estate agent nodded repeatedly.

Pei Yang pulled him back, "How much?"

"The price quoted is 480,000, but there should be room for negotiation."

Seize the young master?

480,000 pounds, converted into RMB, is close to 5 million!

Not to mention that he can't afford it, even if he can afford it, he won't buy it. They are not going to live here for a long time, so why buy such an expensive house?

"It's too expensive. I won't buy it."

"You don't have to pay for it."

"Where did you get so much money?"

"Instead of worrying about where my money comes from, you should think about how to make more money and provide a better life for your woman."

Pei Yang's temper was restrained only in front of Shen Mingzhu.

Faced with his son's continuous contempt and provocation, he became furious: "Buy shit, I won't buy it!"

Pei Ziheng: "You have no ability, but you still have the nerve to lose your temper. Mom didn't marry you to suffer with you!"

"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Your mother married an ordinary man like me, which means she is willing to live an ordinary life with me!"

"Brother, Dad, please stop arguing."

Noticing Pei Tang's uneasy expression, the father and son shut up tacitly.

…

"Mom, you're back!"

"Wife, thank you for your hard work!"

After class, Shen Mingzhu returned to the apartment. The father and son, one took her bag, and the other helped her get her slippers. Their attentiveness made her feel a little weird.

"What did you do this morning?"

"Nothing."

"I went out for a walk."

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the father and son, Shen Mingzhu teased, "Did you have a fight?"

"No."

The father and son spoke in unison, but there was no eye contact between them.

Before Shen Mingzhu could ask again, Pei Yang pushed her onto the sofa and rubbed her shoulders considerately: "Wife, what are we having for lunch?"

Although the apartment has a kitchen, it can only use electricity and not a stove, and the voltage is also limited.

It's okay to use hot milk to cook coffee noodles, but it's absolutely not suitable for cooking.

She asked the brother and sister: "Do you want Chinese food or Western food?"

Pei Tang raised his hand happily: "I want a burger and fries!"

Pei Ziheng: "I am the same as my sister."

Shen Mingzhu turned her head to look at the man behind her, "What about you?"

"I listen to my wife."

Shen Mingzhu nodded and took out a ten-yuan bill from her wallet and handed it to him.

"You and Ziheng can go out and buy some. There's a hamburger shop at the end of the street. You can also buy some pizza and salad at the pizza shop next door."

Pei Yang took the money and said, "I can go alone."

"Can you speak to the clerk privately?"

Pei Yang: “…”

When the father and son left the house one after another, Pei Tang immediately whispered to Shen Mingzhu mysteriously: "Mom, my brother and dad had a fight today." (End of this chapter)
