As soon as Ding's mother opened the door and saw the person standing outside the door, she immediately became happy and reached out to take the child from Ding Qiunan's hand.
"Why are you two here now? Don't you have to go to work?"
Mother Ding sat on the sofa and teased her great-grandson for a while, then she remembered her daughter and son-in-law.
"Mom, I'm going to take a few days off. If I don't have anything to do, I'll stay with you for two days with the kids."
"On vacation?" Ding's mother was stunned when she heard this: "What happened? Why do you think of taking a vacation?"
"Oh, Mom, I'm just a little tired and want to rest for a few days. What's the matter?"
Ding's mother glanced at her daughter suspiciously, said nothing, and continued teasing the child.
Li Chu went into another bedroom, put away the things he brought and walked out.
"Mom, where's my dad?"
"He doesn't know where he went to play chess or do something else. Xiao Chu, are you staying here at night?"
"I can't live anymore. Qiunan will stay with the children for two days. I will have to go to work as usual tomorrow."
If he stayed, he wouldn't be able to live there, or he would have to live in the same room as his father-in-law.
In the mother's house, the father-in-law and his daughter are not allowed to sleep together.
"By the way, Xiao Chu, is there any way you can transfer Nana to the bureau?"
Li Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He had said earlier that Chen Na would also be transferred to the bureau. But at that time, the sales department had better benefits than the bureau. The melon seeds and peanuts that were only available during the holidays were not available in the sales department at that time.
People who work in the sales department can buy it much more conveniently than those in the bureau, let alone food and oil, so they don't agree.
In the past two years, as supplies have gradually become more abundant, the treatment in the sales department has drastically deteriorated compared to that in the bureau.
"Transferred to the district bureau or the city bureau?" Li Chu thought for a while and asked.
"Of course it would be best to go to the city bureau. It would be more convenient for the couple to work together. It's also close to the city bureau."
"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow and give it a try. I'm not sure whether it will work or not."
"It's best if you can, but it doesn't matter if you can't." Ding Ma said with a smile.
She knew that if her son-in-law could say this, it was basically a done deal.
Ding Qiunan was sitting on the sofa, eating melon seeds. Without saying anything, she pinched off the tip of the melon seeds and stuffed them into the little stinky baby's mouth.
"Mom, how are Jianguo and his family of three doing?"
"It's okay."
"Do they usually cook for themselves or do they eat at your place?"
"We basically eat here. It would be troublesome to cook separately."
"Then do they pay for food?"
"Hey, what are you paying for? Your dad and I don't spend much money. Jianguo is saving money and trying to buy a motorcycle."
Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes speechlessly. His brother and his wife, plus the hotel's dividends, would cost a lot of money in a month.
She took out a large stack of money from her pocket, saw that there were about a hundred dollars, and put it on the coffee table.
"Here, here's the food expenses for me and Shoubao for these two days."
Mother Ding was a little confused looking at the pile of money. It took her a while to realize what was going on.
"You damn girl, you're going to cause trouble for me when you come back, right?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Ding Qiunan on the back.
"Ouch, it hurts. I'm trying to lighten your burden, so that you can help your good son more."
"Okay Qiu Nan, Jianguo and the two of them usually take care of my parents, so it's normal for them to help out a little."
Seeing that his wife was speaking in a strange manner, Li Chu quickly stopped her.
At the same time, he also had a toothache, and he was a little confused as to what was wrong with her. Even if he checked her pulse, there was nothing abnormal, so why was her temper so weird?
Ding Qiunan couldn't understand it herself. She felt as if nothing she saw today was pleasing to her eyes.
After being stopped by her husband, she also realized that what she said was a bit excessive. The old couple could spend their money however they wanted, and it was not her turn to make irresponsible remarks.
Ding's mother was filled with questions after her daughter's two words, but she didn't say anything more and turned to look at her son-in-law.
"It's okay, Mom, Qiu Nan may have been in a bad mood these past two days, so I asked her to take a few days off to adjust."
Ding's mother nodded in understanding. Sometimes she would be inexplicably irritable, so when her son-in-law said this, she could understand her daughter's mood at this time.
"It's okay, Nannan. Then I'll stay with mom for two more days, and then go back to work when I feel better." She raised her hand and touched her daughter's hair.
"Thank you, Mom!" Ding Qiunan leaned on her mother's shoulder.
"Silly girl, you are my daughter, what can I do to thank you for coming back and staying for a few days?"
The little stinky baby sat on Grandma's lap, raised his head and looked at Grandma, and kept talking with his little mouth, as if he was also comforting her.
"Xiao Chu, when you two came in just now, did you see the hot pot restaurant opposite the family courtyard?"
"Ah? I didn't pay attention. What's wrong, Mom?"
"I heard from Jianguo that the family that owns the restaurant seems to be your former neighbor."
"Neighbor? Who is it? What is his name?"
Ding Qiunan also straightened up and sat up again, looking at her mother curiously.
"My name is... well, what's my name? Oh, by the way, Jianguo said it seems his surname is Yan."
"The last name is Yan? Yan Jiecheng?"
"Yes, yes, that's the name."
"That is indeed a former neighbor. His father was the third uncle of our compound before. It turns out that his family opened a restaurant here. Mom, how do you think their business is?"
"Jianguo took us there to eat there once. I thought the taste was just average, and it didn't seem as good as the business there."
"That's right, there are few private restaurants in the entire Forty-Nine City that have better business than Xu Damao's family."
Ding Qiunan stuffed two more melon seeds into Shoubao's mouth, nodded and said.
"I heard Jianguo say, then Xu Damao plans to rent the big yard you bought?" Ding's mother looked at her daughter and asked.
"Well, he has that idea, but now he is still looking for a house of his own and wants to buy it. If he can't do it anymore, he will rent our place. The big yard will have to be completely tidied up until next year at the earliest."
"It is true that he has made money. If he opens this restaurant again, will he still have anything to do with Jianguo and the others?"
"It will be up to them to discuss it at that time. Don't worry, Mom, Xu Damao will not lose money to them."
"I don't care about this." Mother Ding shook her head and said, "I'm just worried that if he opens so many restaurants, he will definitely hire more and more people. Will someone come to cause trouble? I don't dare to involve Jianguo.
.”
Ding Qiunan couldn't tell for sure. She turned her head and looked at her man, waiting for him to answer.
"It's okay, Mom, don't worry about this."
A simple sentence made Ding Ma feel relieved: "Huh~ That's good, I'm just a little scared to go back."
