◎House made of gold◎
They moved as soon as they said they would. The two of them were not the type to waste time. The next morning, Jiang Che got up early, asked for leave from the factory, and borrowed a tricycle. Wei Xuan was packing up her things at home.
The mattresses and quilts should be moved first, and the clothes should be packed into the boxes first. As for the things in the kitchen, they can only wait for Jiang Che to move them one by one.
Jiang Che sent Wei Xuan and the child over first, and left Wei Xuan to clean the house while he went back to move the remaining things.
When Wei Xuan came this time, she indeed saw a large chimney following the direction of smoke. That was probably the location of the boiler room that Jiang Che mentioned.
The temperature in the room was quite high, about 10 degrees. Wei Xuan first fetched water, wiped the bed in their room clean and made it. During this time, Yuanyuan had almost adapted to the temperature. Wei Xuan took off her trousers and coat, threw them into the bed, and let her play by herself.
By the time Jiang Che brought the kitchen items for the second time, Wei Xuan had already roughly cleaned every corner of the house.
"Put the stove in the kitchen, and put the rest of these things outside. I'll clean them up later. By the way, don't bring the big iron pot here. Send it to the courtyard when you have time."
"knew."
...
...
After Jiang Che left again, Wei Xuan began to clean up the kitchen.
The kitchen is very small, only about three or four square meters in size. Apart from an L-shaped table, there is only enough space for one person to move around in it.
The table is paved with white tiles, and the cabinets can be used to store oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other things. As for rice and flour, they can only be placed in buckets under the table.
Wei Xuan carried the cabbage, radish and other vegetables to the balcony along with the stove. There was definitely no room for them in the kitchen.
There was only a table and four chairs in the living room, nothing else. Wei Xuan planned to ask Jiang Che to move the shelves and cabinets from the kitchen to the living room, where they could be used to store things.
There weren't many things, so they were packed up quickly. Jiang Che made five trips to finally get everything here. There was no time to cook lunch, so Wei Xuan gave Jiang Che money: "Go to the restaurant and buy a few steamed buns and two dishes. Also, go to the store and tell them that they won't be coming to our house for dinner today. Give them two yuan and tell them to find a meal on their own today."
Jiang Che took the money and went out. When he passed by a store, he stopped and went in to explain to Wang Xiaomei before riding his bike to the state-owned restaurant.
There was fish in today's supply. Jiang Che caught a fish, made a braised eggplant, and brought a meatball soup and four big white steamed buns for his daughter back home.
"You're pretty fast."
"We have to be quick. I'm afraid the food will get cold." Jiang Che said as he went into the kitchen to get a plate to put the food on.
When the aroma of the food spread, Yuanyuan ran out of the house with her short legs.
"It's time for dinner!"
"Yeah, it's time to eat. Dad bought you meatballs today. Are you happy?"
"Happy, Daddy is the best."
Wei Xuan came out with a bowl: "Stop flattering me and sit down obediently."
Yuanyuan listened to her mother, sat down with her head shaking, and waited for her parents to pick up some food for her.
Wei Xuan didn't give her the steamed buns, but directly put two meatballs into her bowl, and then she used chopsticks to pick them apart, blew on them to make sure they were not hot, and then handed them to her: "Eat."
Little girl Yuanyuan has gained all her fat from eating so much. You can imagine how big her appetite is. She finished two meatballs in just a few bites.
When Wei Xuan saw her daughter showing her the empty bowl, she picked up two more for her.
Then he said, "After you eat this, it will be gone. The rest will belong to mom and dad."
The child was small but not stupid. She pointed at the meatballs on the plate with her chubby little hands and said, "There are still a lot." She meant there were still a lot and I could have some more.
Wei Xuan didn't spoil her. Children would not be able to digest meat if they ate too much. At this time, the meatballs from the state-owned restaurant were not adulterated at all, and were big and meaty.
Wei Xuan could only try to reason with her: "Dad and mom are older, they won't be full if they eat less."
Yuanyuan stared at Wei Xuan with her black eyes, and touched her bulging belly with one hand: "Yuanyuan is not full either."
"Then mom will make you some rice noodles later."
"Okay." He looked like he was being persuaded reluctantly.
Jiang Che found it funny: "If she likes it, give her a few more. It won't be a problem if she eats it once in a while."
It would be too late if something happened. Wei Xuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just eat your food and don't interrupt me."
Okay, he shut up. Jiang Che picked up a big meatball and put it into his mouth to chew. You know what, no wonder his daughter likes it so much, the meatball tastes good.
After the meal, the family of three hugged each other and took a nap.
Jiang Che went out as soon as he woke up. He had to find out the origins of that woman.
I first went to the factory to return the bike, then went home and rode my bike to the alley I had been to last night.
After asking people nearby and finding out which street office was in charge of this alley, Jiang Che went to their house and said that he wanted to help a friend rent a house nearby and wanted to ask if there were any houses for rent here.
The people in the street office must be the most familiar with the area under their jurisdiction. After staying in the street office for an hour, although the house was not rented, Jiang Che had enough time to understand the personalities of the aunts and uncles in the street office.
He did not go far, but waited for them to get off work nearby. Only when he saw the figure he was waiting for appeared did Jiang Che walk over and pretend to meet her by chance: "Aunt Liu, what a coincidence that you are getting off work."
Aunt Liu was a warm-hearted person. When she saw Jiang Che, she asked him, "Xiao Jiang, have you found a house?"
Jiang Che pretended to be worried: "No, by the way, Aunt Liu, I want to ask you if you know who lives in the house at the end of the alley next door? I knocked on the door this afternoon but no one answered. If no one lives there, can you rent it to me?"
Following the direction Jiang Che pointed, when Aunt Liu was sure which house Jiang Che was referring to, she curled her lips inadvertently and said to Jiang Che in a mysterious manner, "This one won't work. Besides, someone is living there. A woman and a child are living there."
"Oh, that's perfect. My friend is a girl and I'm worried about letting her live alone. It would be best if she has someone to keep her company. Otherwise, Aunt Liu will take me to her house to talk to her. As long as she is willing to rent the house, the price can be negotiated."
Perhaps because she was really afraid that Jiang Che would let his friends rent the house, Aunt Liu pulled Jiang Che aside and told him everything about the family.
The more Jiang Che listened, the darker his face became, until Aunt Liu reminded him not to lead his friends into a trap, and then he came to his senses.
"Okay, I get it. I will definitely not help my friend rent her house again. Thank you for reminding me about this today. Otherwise, if I rashly rented the house, wouldn't that harm my friend?"
"It's okay, it's just a matter of words. You see, it's getting late, so I'll go home first. I'll help you keep an eye on your rental later."
"Okay, then I'd like to thank Aunt Liu first."
Watching Aunt Liu walk away, the smile on Jiang Che's face completely fell. He waited here for a while and saw that Nie Yuande came again today. Jiang Che said "Puh" before riding away on his bicycle.
He didn't go home, but went directly to Jiang's house.
Seeing that he came back alone, Jiang's mother complained, "Why didn't you bring your wife and children with you?"
"Why bring them on such a cold day?"
"That's right. Don't let the children go out when it's too cold. It's the same when I have time to visit Yuanyuan at your place."
Jiang's father asked him, "What are you doing here today?" He knew that his son was the kind of person who would not come to visit anyone unless he had something to ask.
Jiang Che found a stool and sat down: "It's okay, I just want to tell you that I've moved. If you want to find me in the future, please go to the residential building on the back street."
Jiang's mother frowned: "Why did you move there?" It was a bit far from her home, and it would be inconvenient for her to visit her granddaughter.
Jiang Che said: "There is heating there, so it's comfortable to live in."
Father Jiang looked at him and asked, "Do you rent or buy the house?" His wife might not know, but he has been paying attention to the store opened by his son and daughter-in-law. The business is really good. He can't calculate how much money they make, but it must be a lot.
Now the two of them have moved out of the place where they have lived for several years. In addition to the reason of heating, he guessed that another reason is that they bought the house themselves. Now that they have their own house, they definitely don't want to rent a house anymore.
Jiang Che didn't expect his father to be so sharp and get to the point right away.
Section 56
But now that their family's money had a source, Jiang Che didn't have to hide it anymore. He generously admitted the matter.
"We bought it. The house was good. I discussed it with my wife and we decided it was worthwhile, so we spent 1,600 yuan to buy it."
Even though Jiang's father was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the price, let alone others.
Mrs. Jiang, who was cooking in the kitchen, was so shocked that she almost dropped the plate in her hand.
As soon as Jiang Che came back, she hid in the kitchen and eavesdropped, wanting to know what they would talk about, but she didn't expect to hear such big news.
One thousand six hundred yuan, that's a lot of money. These two prodigal sons used it to buy a house. This house is made of gold.
Jiang's mother also asked her son: "What kind of house can be sold at such a high price?"
There was another sentence she didn't say. In fact, she wanted to ask her son and daughter-in-law if they were cheated by someone. But when she thought about her son, who was the only one who cheated others and she had never seen anyone who could cheat him, she kept this question in her heart and didn't ask it.
Jiang Che said calmly, "It's just an ordinary house. It's not even as big as where I live now. But one advantage is that it's clean and bright. There's heating in winter. As long as I get home, I won't feel cold even if I wear long underwear. Mom, you'll know when you have time to feel it."
"Hmph." Knowing her son's character, Jiang's mother didn't say anything else.
Instead, Jiang's father asked, "How can your store be so profitable? It's only been open for two months, and you've saved so much money?"
Yes, this is the most important thing. Not only Wei's mother, but also Mrs. Jiang in the kitchen pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what Jiang Che had to say.
What did Jiang Che say? Jiang Che didn't say anything, just two words.
"yes."
And then, nothing happened.
Then he pulled Brother Jiang out of the door, saying that he had something to talk to him about and left first.
This time, Mrs. Jiang was not unhappy at all. She poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted at their backs, "Xiao Che, if you have anything to do, just tell your brother to do it. Don't be polite."
Sitting in the living room, Jiang's mother curled her lips when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law's words.
Snob!
