As soon as their mother looked over, An'an and Yuanyuan immediately lowered their heads to eat, pretending nothing had happened.
Grandma said that he and his sister shouldn't disturb their parents when they're being affectionate.
Seeing that the children hadn't noticed them, Su Jingjing's blush slowly faded.
After finishing their meal, Su Jingjing blinked and asked, "A-Ting, where are we going next?"
Li Hanting put his arm around her waist and said affectionately, "Didn't we talk about buying a house before? There's a house for sale near your school, but the price is a bit high, so no one has bought it yet."
"Let's go take a look, and if it's suitable, we'll make a decision."
Su Jingjing asked curiously, "How much does it cost?"
Li Hanting calmly stated a number, which almost made Su Jingjing's jaw drop.
Fifty thousand, that's a lot of money.
"It seems our savings aren't enough."
Even though the clothing store makes a lot of money, their family's expenses are also high, and their savings are only a little over 40,000 yuan.
She's now studying here, and her sister-in-law is managing the clothing store. Even so, she still knows the store's monthly profits.
Li Hanting coughed lightly and explained the whole story.
"Actually, my parents have wanted us to buy a house in Beijing for a long time, and they gave us 10,000 yuan directly."
Su Jingjing felt a mix of emotions, but she was worried about another issue.
"Do my older brother and sister-in-law know? I don't want to cause family conflicts."
"Don't worry, my older brother and sister-in-law aren't that petty, and my parents will treat everyone equally."
Li Hanting rubbed her head.
"Consider this money as a loan to our parents, and we'll pay them back once we've earned enough."
Su Jingjing bit her lip. This was her parents' retirement money, and as the younger generation, they couldn't touch it casually.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
An'an and Yuanyuan listened quietly to their parents. "Mom and Dad, are we going to buy a house?"
"Yes, now Dad is taking us to see a house."
Li Hanting drove them back to the vicinity of the school.
This is a three-story villa in a European and American style. The exterior looks simple and elegant, while the interior design is truly unique. The courtyard has a pleasant environment and a large area. Moreover, it is about three kilometers away from Beijing University, which explains why the owner asked for such a high price.
Su Jingjing and the man exchanged a glance, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.
She looked down and asked, "Sons, do you like this house?"
An'an and Yuanyuan stared intently, liking everything about her.
Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Mommy, the house is so big! I love it!"
An An nodded lightly, "It's alright."
Although he was young, he knew that if the homeowner knew they liked it, they would ask for a higher price.
The homeowner's lips twitched. Why was this little boy so aloof? This house was just "okay." He was really not cute.
"Well, our house is still quite new. If we didn't urgently need the money right now, to be honest, we really wouldn't want to sell it."
No one knows a child better than their mother, and Su Jingjing knew that An'an was saying this on purpose.
"Auntie, our whole family really likes this house, and we sincerely want to buy it. Could you please lower the price a bit?"
The homeowner hesitated for a moment, as it was rare to encounter such a good-looking family.
She readily agreed, "Alright, you were referred by an acquaintance, so I'll reduce the price by another thousand yuan. This is the lowest price I can offer."
"Okay, deal."
Su Jingjing agreed with satisfaction and immediately finalized the contract. The homeowner then handed them the keys.
Looking at the huge villa, Su Jingjing felt a sense of belonging in Beijing.
"Ah Ting, shall we stay here tonight?"
"Okay, I'll hire a part-time cleaner to tidy it up."
Seeing the smiles on their faces, Li Hanting felt that everything was worthwhile.
They not only cleaned the house but also installed a telephone, and each evening they called home.
An'an and Yuanyuan were playing hide-and-seek in the house, running around.
Su Jingjing snuggled up to Li Hanting, watching the children run away. She said softly, "Babies, run slowly, don't fall."
Yuanyuan ran up to her, panting and covered in sweat.
"Mommy, this is so much fun!"
Su Jingjing asked the man to get a towel from the bathroom. She wrung out the towel and wiped the sweat from the children's foreheads. "Do you like this house very much?"
An'an nodded vigorously, her big eyes blinking brightly.
"Mom, will we live here in the future?"
An'an looked up and asked.
Forehead……
Su Jingjing turned her head to look at Li Hanting. She intended to develop her career in Beijing, but it was difficult for A-Ting to transfer jobs.
Li Hanting put his arm around her shoulder and answered An An's question.
"In a few years, our family will come and live here too."
Su Jingjing asked in surprise, "Your job..."
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities to transfer later."
He could have transferred the job two years ago, but he didn't want his children to become left-behind children, so he didn't consider it.
After resting for a while, Su Jingjing took the children to take a bath. Actually, she mainly took care of Yuanyuan, as An'an could handle it by herself.
Yuanyuan sat in the bathtub, her little face flushed, like a delicate little elf. "Mommy, I'm scared to sleep. Can I sleep with you and Daddy tonight?"
Su Jingjing also realized that it was inevitable for children to feel scared when they first arrived in an unfamiliar environment.
She gently wiped the little one's body with a towel, saying, "Okay, you can sleep with Mommy and Daddy for the next couple of days."
The water in the bathtub gradually cooled down, and she was worried that Yuanyuan would catch a cold, so she dressed her in pajamas, which were pajamas with a little yellow duck on them.
The mother and daughter came out of the bathroom but did not see Li Hanting.
An'an sat properly on the sofa watching TV.
Su Jingjing asked, "An'an, where's Daddy?"
"Dad is taking a bath inside."
An An pointed to the bathroom on the first floor.
"Brother, look, our little yellow ducks are the same!" Yuan Yuan's fingers trembled slightly with excitement as she shouted to her brother.
Her big, watery eyes sparkled with surprise, as if she had discovered some rare treasure. Her little face flushed red with excitement, making her incredibly adorable.
An An looked down and saw two identical little yellow ducks, causing black lines to appear on her forehead.
Grandma bought it. He saw how excited Grandma and his sister were, so even though he didn't like it, he had to put up with it.
Su Jingjing couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she watched her son's discomfitured expression.
"Brother, don't you like it?"
Yuan Yuan asked a soul-searching question: How could her brother not like such an adorable little yellow duck?
"I like it." An'an forced a smile.
Never mind, as long as my sister is happy.
