Chapter 376: Husband and Wife Birds in the Same Forest
The Gu family's engagement banquet started off well but ended badly, and some entertainment activities originally scheduled after the banquet were also cancelled.
After Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning left the Binhai Hotel, they had plenty of time, so they decided to go to Junshan Mansion to look at houses.
After all, they have decided to buy a house, but it is a bit too much that Yu Zhiming, the future owner, has not yet inspected the house in person.
"Zhiming, Third Grandpa and the others left without expressing their opinions. This must be their tacit approval, right?"
Yu Zhiming, who was driving, pondered and said, "It should be tacitly agreed, but it is impossible for your third cousin to get married in the short term. It will take at least one or two years."
Gu Qingning sighed softly and said, "To put it in a less appropriate way, wouldn't it be better to marry a good prostitute than a wife who has cheated on you?"
"If Third Cousin can truly let go of his grudges, and if the girl truly reforms and becomes devoted to him from now on, perhaps they will be even happier."
"Hey, Zhiming, I'm saying if..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "Don't ask me hypothetical questions like this. It's meaningless."
Gu Qingning pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I won't ask."
After a pause, she asked curiously, "When you were doing physical examinations on those celebrities at your cousin's club, did you find that many of them were living indecently?"
Yu Zhiming hummed, and added, "There are also quite a few socialites who are chaste."
"For example, you!"
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "When I was in my rebellious phase, I almost went astray."
"Fortunately, my brother is strict."
"Zhiming, you must thank my elder brother very much, otherwise the me in front of you will not be the original and flawless me."
Yu Zhiming gave this shameless guy a sidelong glance...
More than an hour later, after two o'clock in the afternoon, the two drove to Building 12 of Junshan Mansion.
Yu Zhiming looked up and observed the facade of the building. He found that there was no peeling paint and it looked quite new.
The neighbors' balconies are either sealed or filled with flowers and plants, without any sense of clutter.
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning took the elevator directly to the top floor, entered the unlocking code and entered the house.
Spacious and bright was Yu Zhiming’s first feeling when he walked into the house.
The area of this living room is almost as large as the residence in Zijinyuan, and the ceiling height is five or six meters.
The spacious floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to see the scenery outside.
It's quite refreshing.
Yu Zhiming followed the jumping Qing Ning and visited the kitchen, bathroom, elderly room, maid room and guest room.
Afterwards, the two of them went up to the second floor through the wooden stairs and looked at the master bedroom, second bedroom and study in turn.
“Very good!”
Yu Zhiming commented with satisfaction, then said to Qing Ning, "The master bedroom is big enough. It should be able to fit all the things you left at your brother's place, right?"
Gu Qingning said happily: "Of course it can fit. I don't have as many things as you think."
"only……"
She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Given our current relationship, isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to live in the master bedroom like this?"
Yu Zhiming said with a chuckle, "Since you don't want to, then stay in the guest room."
“I think the guest room is quite large.”
Gu Qingning immediately changed her tone and said, "Who said I don't want to? I do! The master bedroom, no one can take it away from me."
"Whoever dares to snatch it, I will bite her to death!" She also cooperated by showing her small white teeth.
The two of them walked around upstairs and downstairs again.
Yu Zhiming even went to the second bedroom and living room to feel the noise level before leaving.
When the two walked out of the residential building, they saw a familiar figure standing in front of their Mercedes-Benz.
Zhou Mo!
"I saw the car upstairs."
Zhou Mo pointed to Building No. 8 in front of him and chuckled, "It looks like your car, Doctor Yu."
"I remembered that you, Doctor Yu, said you wanted to buy a house here, so I came to take a look. It really is your car, Doctor Yu."
She asked again with a lively tone: "In this building?"
"Do you like it?"
"Decided to buy it?"
Gu Qingning took Yu Zhiming's arm and replied first, "It's a duplex on the top floor. I like it very much. Zhiming saw that I liked it, so he decided to buy it."
She warmly invited me, "When we move in, please come to our housewarming party."
"That's for sure." Zhou Mo replied with a smile.
Only after the two men finished speaking with a smile did Yu Zhiming get the chance to speak.
"Zhou Mo, you didn't go to your mother's studio to help. Is your relationship with her still at odds?"
Zhou Mo's face turned bitter, and he said, "It's more than just a stalemate, it's getting worse."
"My mother asked me to pay the rent, and also to share the food expenses, the aunt's salary, water and electricity bills, etc."
"If you calculate it this way, more than half of my monthly salary is gone."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Didn't I leave you a small portion of my salary? That's enough for you, right?"
Zhou Mo said pitifully, "My mother also said that since I'm an adult now and working to earn money, I should also give her the monthly maintenance fee as a token of filial piety."
"My mom is asking for eight thousand!"
"If that's the case, even if I hand over my entire monthly salary, it still won't be enough. I still have to maintain the car myself."
Yu Zhiming said happily: "Your mother is forcing you to give in and apologize. What's wrong with you admitting your mistake?"
Zhou Mo said with a firm face: "It's just a minor conflict, but this is a matter of principle. I absolutely cannot give in."
"Doctor Yu, if you need any errands or other manual labor in the future, please let me do it."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said "Okay".
Zhou Mo said happily, "Doctor Yu, Qing Ning, if you have nothing else to do, why don't you stop by my house and take a break?"
Yu Zhiming politely declined, "I won't go this time. I want to go home and have a good rest and prepare for next week's work."
Speaking of next week's work, Zhou Mo asked, "Doctor Yu, your online registration method has undergone a huge change. Did you know?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head.
Zhou Mo explained: "In the past, people had to be quick to grab a number, but now it's a lottery system. Patients need to submit a selfie and briefly fill out their physical symptoms."
"At 3 pm, the registration system will randomly select 50 patients from all those who submitted their information."
Yu Zhiming explained: "The purpose of this change in registration is probably to prevent scalpers."
He then asked, "Has the registration fee changed?"
Zhou Mo replied: "Not yet, it's still one hundred and twenty."
Yu Zhiming said softly, "Oh!" According to the previous plan, his registration fee would not be changed until New Year's Day.
If you want to change the registration method, you should first try it out.
Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan and called his mother first, but no one answered.
He called his elder sister again.
This time, the call was connected quickly.
The eldest sister told him, "Lao Wu, there was a funeral in my hometown, and my parents went back to the village early this morning."
"Who died?"
"The father of your elementary school classmate Wang Binglei!"
"Isn't that man only in his fifties? Illness? Accident?" Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
The eldest sister sighed softly during the call: "That guy is just a drunkard."
"I got drunk last night and somehow fell asleep in the yard. It was freezing cold, and when I found him, he was already dead."
Yu Zhiming said, "Oh," and then advised, "Sister, tell Mom and Dad to stop being the Red and White Director."
"We all live in the county town now. Not only is it inconvenient to go back, but we don't need that little money either."
The eldest sister chuckled and said, "Let Mom and Dad do it. They can't sit still. During the time we moved to the county town, Dad has been out for walks all day, playing chess and chatting with people!"
"Mom took apart and washed all the bedding in the house, saying that she would keep you warm when you come back for the Spring Festival."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "Sister, why don't you go learn to drive? Once you learn to drive, it will be more convenient for you and your parents to have any matters, or to go back to the village."
The eldest sister refused, "I'm too slow to learn. Besides, your second and third sister's families are very active now. If anything happens to my parents and me, all we need is a phone call."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said proudly, "Sister, you must have known this, right? I'm going to buy a big house."
"After the Spring Festival, you and your parents can come to Binhai with us. The house is big enough for you to stay."
Yu Zhiming persuaded her again, "Sister, your son, your daughter, and your husband are all in Binhai."
My eldest sister hesitated for a moment on the phone and said, "I can be anywhere, the problem is my parents."
"If my parents insist on staying, I have to stay."
"Although my parents are in good health and don't need to be taken care of for their daily living and diet, there still has to be someone around them."
"After all, they are all over sixty years old."
This is indeed a problem...
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Sister, during this period of time, you should whisper in my parents' ears and do some ideological work to make them consider coming to Binhai."
"I can do this."
The eldest sister laughed and said worriedly: "Old Five, if you want to buy a big house, you must do it within your means and don't leave too much behind."
"There's someone from the next village who bought a house in the provincial capital. He lost his job and got sick. He said the house was taken away by the bank."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Sister, are you still not sure about me? I won't do anything I'm not sure of."
"That's true. You've been sensible and reassuring since you were young."
The eldest sister praised him on the phone and continued, "Old Five, speaking of that guy from the next village, someone asked about him, saying they wanted you to see a doctor or something."
“But then there was no sound again.”
"What's the specific situation with that person?" Yu Zhiming asked.
My eldest sister explained over the phone, "He said he was having body aches and general weakness. He went to the provincial capital for treatment for several months, but it didn't work. We've spent all our money."
"Now I heard that the house is gone!"
The eldest sister said sympathetically, "Then there was no news. I guess it was because he ran out of money, right?"
"Going to Binhai for medical treatment will definitely cost a lot more than going to the provincial capital."
"I also heard that the man's wife took the child back to her parents' home and said she wanted a divorce."
The eldest sister added angrily, "Husbands and wives these days are like birds of the same forest; they can't stand hardships."
"Old Five, let me tell you, in our village alone, there were two couples getting married this year, but four getting divorced."
"Young people nowadays take marriage less and less seriously. Lao Wu, don't follow their lead."
"Marriage is a serious matter, and it shouldn't be treated lightly..."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming thought to himself, as expected.
Now the eldest sister is just like my parents. Whenever there is something wrong, she always brings it to him and gives him a lecture or two.
Qing Ning leaned over and shouted, "Sister, Zhiming and I will love each other forever."
The eldest sister laughed on the phone and said, "I know, Qing Ning, you are a good girl."
"Qing Ning, if Lao Wu bullies you, tell me and I'll beat him up for you."
Yu Zhiming pushed Qing Ning away.
"Sister, nothing else, I'm hanging up now..."
It’s the end of the month, please support me with monthly tickets!!!
