Chapter 242
When Grandma Qian saw him coming in with a smile on his face, she knew things were going well.
"Grandma, it's done, look."
Xu Di took out several pieces of paper from his bag, which were property certificates of several stores.
"Okay, that's right, you are also considered to be a wealthy family. If nothing goes wrong in the future, your life will be smooth."
"Well, with Chaoyang's and my salary, plus the rent of the house, we will live a prosperous life."
Grandma Qian asked Xiaodi to put the things away as they would be of great use in the future.
Xu Di took the things back to the house and took out two other property certificates from the space.
A yard, a building, a shop, she can win in this life without any effort.
After admiring it for a while, Xu Di put the things back into the box and put it back into the space.
After checking the time, she saw that the second class had just started, so she quickly rode her bike to school.
At the He family next door to Xu Di's house, only Song Hongqi was at home.
The layout of her yard is similar to that of Xu Di's, but her yard is not as large as Xu Di's.
There are five rooms in the main house, two rooms in the east and west wing rooms, the front yard is about the same size, and the back yard is relatively narrow, only one and a half meters wide.
The front yards of the houses here are similar, but the backyards are different and the overall area is also different.
There is a courtyard inside the alley that is bigger than Xu Di’s.
When Song Hongqi heard that Comrade Xu raised chickens in his backyard, she discussed with her parents-in-law and decided to raise some chickens in the backyard as well.
She has no job now and cannot register her household registration. Her three children and she do not have household registration and cannot eat commercial grain.
Before the house was returned, they were living in the Peking University dormitory building, which was really crowded.
His father-in-law is already trying to find a job for her and transfer her household registration.
My parents-in-law returned to work, my husband and sister-in-law went to school, and the children were sent to daycare.
After finishing his housework every day, Song Hongqi had nothing to do as no one came back at noon.
Seeing that his neighbors next door raised chickens and grew vegetables, Song Hongqi bought some old wooden strips from the scrap yard, and He Wenhan helped to order a chicken coop.
She also turned over the area in the front yard that was not paved with red bricks and prepared to grow vegetables.
She had thought it over. Since He Wenhan had not abandoned her and the child, she couldn't always live in fear.
She once said that life should be broadened and not narrowed.
Song Hongqi used a hoe to break up the large clods of earth, dried them in the sun for a day, and built ridges the next day. Then he would go and see if there were any vegetable seedlings.
Another neighbor next door to Xu Di's house, an old couple stood in the yard, looking at the sky, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a busy few days, it’s finally time for a day off.
Nuannuan and her grandmother slept in one room, and Xu Di slept with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan in another room.
In the morning, my mother and her friends got up and ran in the yard, while my grandmother walked slowly around the yard.
This is what Zhang Chaoyang said, keep the habit of exercising to keep your body healthy.
"Dinner is ready, come in and eat."
Aunt Wu usually makes breakfast at home. During her break, Xu Di will help prepare lunch and dinner.
"After dinner, I'm going to tear down the shed in the backyard. I've eaten most of the side dishes, so I'll pull them out and plant a new crop."
"It's fine to tear it down. There are still some vegetable seedlings left. They are about to bloom. It would be a pity to throw them away."
This year the shed is bigger and more seedlings can be grown. Aunt Wu thought that there were still a lot of seedlings and she would feel bad to throw them away. If I don't throw it away, I'll have nowhere to plant it.
"Mom, He Xiaoxi's family next door also wants to grow vegetables, and her mother has also turned the soil. Ask them if they want to grow vegetables?"
Yuanyuan and He Xiaoxi went to the same nursery and are now good friends.
"Really? I'll go ask later."
The vegetable seedlings are growing so well, it would be a pity to throw them away.
After dinner, Xu Di took Yuanyuan and the others to clean up the dishes. The children did what they could.
"Mom, let's go ask the neighbors next door if they want vegetable seedlings."
"Okay, wait for mom, I'll wipe my hands."
Xu Di dried her hands, hung up her apron, and took Yuanyuan out of the yard.
Xu Di knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard footsteps approaching.
"Hello, Auntie!"
"It's Yuanyuan, come in quickly, Xiaoxi was just talking about wanting to go play with you."
Song Hongqi likes the three children next door, they are all very polite.
"Sister He, I heard from Yuanyuan that you are also growing vegetables in the yard. I wanted to come over and ask if you need any vegetable seedlings. We have a lot of extra at home."
"Thank you, Comrade Xu. I just finished tidying up the vegetable patch yesterday, and I was thinking of going out for a walk today to see if I could run into someone selling vegetable seedlings."
"That's great. You don't have to go out and look for it. I have a lot of vegetable seedlings and seeds at home."
Xu Di was very happy because the vegetable seedlings had a place to go.
"Hongqi, why don't you invite the guests in?"
A gentle female voice came from the yard, and Xu Di also saw the legendary music professor.
"Look at me, I'm busy talking. Comrade Xu, please come in, please come in."
Xu Di brought Yuanyuan into the yard. The layout was similar to her house, but with a little less space.
"Hello, Professor Chu. I'm Xu Di, our next-door neighbor."
"Hello, Xiao Xu. We just moved back and have been busy. We haven't had time to invite you guys to come over and play."
"Professor Chu, you are too polite. We will live close to each other and visit each other often. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor."
Professor Chu is in her fifties and is wearing a modified cheongsam-style dress, with the demeanor of a lady from the Republic of China.
"Yes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor."
Professor Chu looked at Xu Di and he seemed quite friendly. It is said that her husband is a soldier and she herself is a student at Kyoto University.
"Xu Di, you're here."
He Jingyi also came out, saw Xu Di and greeted him.
"Well, I have some unused vegetable seedlings at home. I heard that Sister He also wants to grow vegetables, so I came to ask if she needs any."
"I really need it. My sister-in-law is worried about where to get the vegetable seedlings. We are not very familiar with this area."
He Jingyi understood her sister-in-law, who was not used to suddenly coming to a strange place.
She was unsure because her job had not been arranged yet and her household registration could not be transferred.
"Come on, let's go pull them out now while the weather is not too hot. If we plant them, they will grow easily.
Professor Chu, would you like to take a look at our yard? ”
"Okay, it's a good opportunity to visit your elders at home."
Professor Chu went back to the room and brought out a pot of flowers.
"This is for your grandma. I grew an orchid myself and divided it out this year."
Xu Di took Professor Chu, He Jingyi and Song Hongqi to their own yard.
Yuanyuan and the three children of the He family have already run over.
"Professor Chu, my house is rented to the Public Security Bureau as a single dormitory. My child's father is in the army, and with them around, we are safe and secure."
"Well, there are more idle people on the streets now, and there are public security comrades coming in and out. We are safe here."
Professor Chu heard from her husband's Professor He that a large number of educated youth returned to the city, but there were limited jobs in the city, resulting in a large number of unemployed young people.
The increase in urban population and housing shortage will lead to a series of conflicts, and public security will need to be strengthened in the future.
"Grandma, this is Professor Chu from next door, come over and meet him."
"Welcome, welcome. Since we live close to each other in the future, we can help each other."
"Hello, Aunt Qian. This is an orchid I raised. I'm giving it to you to keep for fun."
"Thank you, thank you! Come in and sit down, Xiao Wu, make some tea."
Grandma Qian invited everyone into the house, and Aunt Wu went to make tea.
"Grandma, you accompany Professor Chu, let's go to the backyard to pull up the vegetable seedlings."
"Go ahead and plant it while the sun isn't too hot."
Xu Di took Mrs. Song and He Jingyi to the backyard, where Nuannuan and the others took the He family's children to play with toys in the yard.
"Xu Di, your vegetable garden is quite big, the vegetables are growing really well!"
"We have been planting for two years and have some experience. Sister He, the vegetable seedlings in this shed are about to bloom, but I don't know if they can survive.
For a while, bring more root soil. ”
Xu Di carefully lifted the plastic sheet on the shed, and Song Hongqi helped to pull it off.
"Oh, these vegetable seedlings are growing so well!"
"Sister He, pull them out yourself. I'll put away the plastic sheet."
Xu Di handed Mrs. He a small shovel and asked her to do it herself.
Xu Di took the plastic sheet aside to dry in the sun. After the water dried, it could be put away and used again next year.
Song Hongqi carefully dug out the vegetable seedlings, more than 20 of them, including persimmons, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, and several other varieties. Her vegetable garden was not that big, and after planting all these, there would not be much space left.
"Comrade Xu, I'll take it back and plant it."
"Go quickly, it will be time to wilt."
He Jingyi also went back to help her sister-in-law. Xu Di saw them off and saw that the children were having fun in the yard.
"Grandma, I'm going to the backyard. If you need anything, let the kids call me."
"Go ahead. I'll talk to Professor Chu and watch the child."
Xu Di responded and went to the backyard.
The old couple next door stood in the yard, hearing the talking and children's laughter in the yard next door, their faces full of envy.
However, they were scared and did not dare to interact with others easily.
