"Miguo, where are Dad and brother?" Song Tanglan had just come out of the studio and found that only her youngest son was in the yard. Xu Qi and another child, who had been playing with the children, were nowhere to be seen.
That's why she asked casually.
When he was little, Miguo was a delicate and lovely little baby. As he grew up, he looked more and more like his father. His love for learning has become a template for other children in the compound.
Since starting school, Miguo has been obsessed with studying. He likes to stay in a quiet space and read books every day. Unlike his brother, who is not only naughty but also has extremely poor academic performance.
Because of this, the two children gave the couple a lot of headaches. One was too quiet and didn't like to talk, and the other was too naughty. This might be the control group for the twins.
Miguo looked up from his pile of homework. "Mom, are you done? Dad and brother are out collecting rent."
Song Tanglan was a little surprised to hear her youngest son's words. She came to him and watched him doing his homework, then asked curiously.
"Didn't your grandma say a while ago that she was going to collect rent recently?"
"Grandma and grandma are out playing, and grandpa has to go to work, so he's not available."
Song Tanglan listened to the answer of her 7-year-old son, nodded, and went to the kitchen to prepare something delicious for her family.
As they successfully entered their ideal schools and chose the majors they wanted to study, they began to study.
In the past four years, as the country has been getting better and better, many restrictions have been gradually opened. As Xu Qiru had promised, he took out most of his savings and bought several courtyard houses.
Not only did she successfully allow Song Tanglan to live the life of a landlady, but she also had a unique business opportunity. She seized the development opportunity and successfully opened a clothing studio for the two mothers who had resigned from their jobs to develop their beloved crafts.
At the beginning, his relatives and friends didn’t quite understand why he spent so much money to buy a large number of houses, but after Song Tanglan’s analysis.
Friends and her family thought it made sense, so they used the money they had earned over the years to buy a house. Although it was not as extravagant as Xu Qi's, it provided them with a place to live and they had a job assigned to them.
Friends also brought their families to the capital one after another.
As the first batch of college students, they were assigned jobs right after graduation, with excellent salaries and benefits. In addition, they had saved a lot through their own hard work, so they all lived a very comfortable life.
As early as when Song's children were admitted to the capital, their parents had agreed to quit their jobs and continue to stay with their children.
I thought of helping to take care of a few kids and help them focus more on their studies.
It’s just that there are so many grandchildren that the parents are afraid they can’t take care of them all, so they paid someone to help with cleaning and cooking.
This will also greatly relieve the three elderly people.
…
"Are you back?" Song Tanglan looked at the father and son who came back laughing, and jokingly brought the freshly prepared food to the table.
"You're back, wife, are you done with your work?"
Xu Qi was a little surprised when he saw his wife coming out of the studio. After all, considering how much his wife loved jewelry, he originally thought that she would only come out at night.
"I'm done. The last batch of goods has been modified. Would you like to go and take a look later?"
Song Tanglan thought about how she had been busy with work recently and her husband rarely had a rest, and she had no time to spend with him properly. But Xu Qi didn't blame her at all. Instead, he encouraged her to do what she wanted to do. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
"Okay, it's not too late to watch it tonight. What delicious food did you make?"
Xu Qi washed his hands and went to the kitchen to help his wife bring everything to the dining table.
It is early autumn now, and they usually eat in the yard. As long as they occasionally fumigate in the yard, there will be very few mosquitoes coming to target them.
"Mom, what delicious food did you make? I could smell it from far away, you know? I went to collect rent with Dad today, and the uncles and aunts were very enthusiastic when they saw us. Some of the restless ones immediately paid the rent honestly when they saw Dad's face. They were not at all like grandma said, procrastinating."
At this time, Douding happily took out a big bag of money from his backpack, and counted the money with his brother while taking notes to see if the amount was correct and whether he had lost any money on the way back.
Seeing his son so excited, Song Tanglan encouraged him, "You guys are really amazing! You've already collected all the rent on the first day. You don't know that every time your grandma goes to collect the rent, several people are always reluctant to do so. It's only when grandpa goes that the rent is collected!"
Speaking of this, the Xu family was speechless about those who drag their feet and make all kinds of excuses every time they pay the rent.
In fact, if there were real difficulties, Song Tanglan would be willing for them to postpone the payment. It's just that those people obviously have stable jobs and their family salaries are enough, but they just like to procrastinate.
This alone gave them a headache, but fortunately, people at this time were still honest and had no other thoughts. They just felt a little sad that they had to pay rent with the money they had just earned.
But letting them live there for free was even more impossible. After all, this was the house they had bought during a difficult time, spending most of their savings to buy it.
When they bought it, they wanted it to be close, so they bought almost all the empty houses in the compound.
When Xu Qi first bought these houses, some were shabby and some were without furniture. They bought them one by one and hired people to renovate them before renting them out.
They haven't even made back their money from the huge sum of money they spent on renovations. How could Song Tanglan, a money-grubber, give them the opportunity to take advantage of them?
