Dou Guowei sighed helplessly, but still stepped forward and said, "My mother is going to Beijing this time, so the keys to this house are given to Jianguo to help look after it!"
As soon as the words were spoken, some people felt disappointed, some were frustrated, some grumbled, and others gave Su Xia and Chen Jianguo envious and jealous looks.
Su Xia Chen Jianguo... This uncle is really good at charming people, and he's also good at seducing them.
"Waaah... Madam... I'll miss you!" Erbao clung to the car door, crying with reluctance.
Niu Niu held the old lady's hand tightly, "Madam, please take care of yourself, get plenty of rest, and eat well. I'll come to Beijing to see you!"
"I'm going too...!"
When the neighbors saw Su Xia's two children crying in front of the old lady, most of them felt relieved.
After all, the children have been going to the old lady's house for the past few years, and they've seen it all.
At this moment, Da Bao also came over with his twins.
In an instant, Da Bao's eyes also turned red, and the twins burst into tears.
Wow....
"Madam...don't go!"
"I don't want my wife to leave...!"
Su Xia and Chen Jianguo couldn't bear it either. The two women stood at the gate, feeling both gratified and reluctant to part.
Dou Guowei sighed. His aunt's eyes were filled with tears. She ignored the neighbors and her eyes were only on her five children.
The Chen family has truly won over Auntie's heart.
Half an hour later, Su Xia and Chen Jianguo were holding one child in each arm. The twins were crying and hiccuping. Ever since they could run and walk, the two of them had often visited the old lady's house.
There were always delicious treats, so whenever Su Xia didn't give the twins snacks, they would run to the old lady.
Everyone looked towards the rear of the car, their ears filled with the sound of bicycle horns.
The older folks couldn't hold back their tears.
This farewell will certainly be the last time we see each other. After being neighbors for so many years, of course I'm reluctant to part ways.
Why....
Su Xia saw Chen Jianguo lock the door and was about to take the heartbroken kids back home.
Then she saw several neighbors gathering around, including Su Xia...
"Niu Niu and Da Bao, take your younger siblings home first!"
Niu Niu nodded and went back with the hiccuping twins and the crying baby.
Da Bao wanted to stay, but Su Xia wouldn't let him, and waited until the child left.
Su Xia asked, "What's going on here?"
"Su girl, I wanted to ask, is the old lady selling her house?"
"Yes, she definitely won't be coming back now that she's gone. Our place is..."
"Bullshit, you call that a 'household'? What about my family of eight with three rooms? Isn't that a 'household'?"
"Don't argue, Jianguo, Su girl, what does it mean that the old lady fell to the ground?"
Su Xia and Chen Jianguo exchanged a glance. Sure enough, houses were a hassle, which was why they didn't buy any in the surrounding area.
"Before the old lady left, she said that if anyone wanted to buy it, it would cost at least 1200 yuan, plus 100 jin of grain coupons..."
"Oh my God...?" came the exclamation, revealing the shock.
Su Xia didn't speak, but spread her hands, indicating, "I don't know either. That's what the anti-Dou said, and his nephew, Comrade Dou, even said directly that the family isn't short of money, not short of money for a house..."
"Since the old man likes it, let's keep it. What if he comes back later?"
Su Xia's lie was so convincing that even Chen Jianguo was incredibly impressed.
Everyone was shocked by the 1200. Every household, if they really had money, didn't even have 1200 in savings!
Not to mention 100 jin of grain coupons, which were issued nationwide, after hearing what his nephew said...
Some clever people had already realized that this meant the house wasn't for sale, and that the old lady's nephew was clearly no ordinary person.
Why....
They didn't even dare offend Chen Jianguo, let alone people with cars...
They had all lost interest and left without even saying goodbye, heads bowed.
Finally, only Su Xia and Chen Jianguo remained...
The two looked at each other, and when no one was around, they went straight back to the old lady's house.
After carefully inspecting the house and yard, Su Xia looked at the things in the bedroom, unsure of what to do.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jianguo asked curiously as he came over.
"The old lady gave all of these to our family, but now the neighbors...!"
Chen Jianguo understood what Su Xia meant, and finally advised, "Wait a little longer, move it slowly when there are fewer people around!"
Why....
I've lost count of how many times Su Xia has sighed this morning. She made sure to close the doors and windows properly.
As the two locked the door, they noticed someone was secretly watching them.
Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Su Xia returned home and said irritably, "These people, they really have nothing better to do!"
"Mom, who are you talking about?" Da Bao asked curiously.
Niu Niu and Er Bao are still heartbroken and have gone back to their room to hide.
The twins, Kebab, cried themselves to sleep and fell asleep shortly after returning home.
Now only Da Bao, Su Xia, and Chen Jianguo are left in the living room. Hearing Da Bao's words, Su Xia pointed outside.
"It's not just those neighbors!"
Upon hearing this, Da Bao wanted to say something, but Chen Jianguo gave him a look, and in the end, he went out and returned to his own room.
"Alright, don't be angry, it'll be fine in a while!" Chen Jianguo can't possibly come to my house looking for someone, can he?
Su Xia pursed her lips, still unhappy, and finally waved her hand dismissively, "Tomorrow I'm taking the children back to the village. You stay here by yourself!"
Chen Jianguo was speechless... Why does he always have to go back to the village when he's unhappy? Doesn't that leave him alone as an old man?
...
Grandma Dou must have guessed that this would cause trouble for her husband and wife, but she wasn't worried.
Instead, after leaving the county town, he took out his lunchbox, and in an instant, the aroma of dumplings filled the entire car.
Dou Guowei's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately turned around. "Auntie, what's delicious? It smells so good!"
The old lady simply grabbed a dumpling and stuffed it into her nephew's mouth.
"Ugh..."
The mouth was filled with the aroma of meat, and the broth was dripping from the corners of your mouth. Dou Guowei immediately began to lick it with his tongue, feeling a pang of tenderness.
After swallowing, he excitedly shouted, "It's so delicious..."
"It tastes even better than the state-run restaurants!"
The driver, who was already drooling, couldn't help but exclaim anxiously, "Director... I'll have one too...?"
The old lady ate one herself, then gave one to the driver, resulting in a comical scene.
The jeep was parked on the side of the dirt road, and there were no other cars around.
The three of them got off the bus, found a rock, and two lunchboxes of dumplings...
A huge stack of egg pancakes, pickled eggs with vegetables...
"Mmm...it's so delicious...!"
"Grandma, did you used to eat these?" the driver asked, genuinely curious.
The old lady nodded. "It never happened before, only occasionally. But ever since her health hasn't been so good these past two years, Su'er sits up every other day, saying it's to improve her meals!"
After saying that, she made another dumpling. It was Su Yatou's dumpling, her favorite—the wrapper was soft and the filling was delicious and not greasy at all...
The driver, consumed by jealousy, wanted to return immediately and make Su Xia do even more...
Waaah...
The egg pancakes were delicious, made with white flour too. This family is so generous; they boiled 20 eggs and also had 10 pickled eggs. He ate two of them; they were both oozing with butter...
When the driver tried to take the eggs again, a large hand appeared, and he immediately pulled hard—it was the biggest pickled egg...
Dou Guowei wouldn't allow it either. He was usually the driver and secretary, a considerate and easygoing leader, but here...
Absolutely not allowed...
Grandma Dou looked down on the two childish people, finished her own portion of dumplings, and packed the other lunchbox away.
Then he got up and went back to his car.
Dou Guowei's driver.....
Looking at the clasped hands—or rather, the fighting hands—the driver withdrew them in disgust.
Dou Guowei proudly tossed the egg up...
