With the roaring sound of firecrackers on the morning of the first day of the new year, everyone who was still in bed and wanted to continue sleeping woke up.
The little smelly baby may have slept too late last night, but he slept really well this morning, and the loud sound of firecrackers couldn't wake him up.
The courtyard was filled with people wishing each other new year's greetings. Only the two little ones were happily grinning from ear to ear holding the red envelopes they had received.
I don’t know what to be happy about, otherwise it won’t belong to you in a few minutes.
There is really no need to go out today. After eating the dumplings in the morning, the three card tables were set up at home.
Those three guys who had been playing cards all night didn't even want to go to bed, so they continued to fight again.
"Mom, I have something to discuss with you. Don't rush to refute me. Listen to me first and then we can discuss it. What do you think?"
As soon as Ding Ma came out of the living room and was about to go to the kitchen to grab some more peanuts, she was stopped by Li Chu.
"Ah? What are you planning to discuss?" The old lady was a little dumbfounded. In her mind, her son-in-law's serious attitude was still the first time he came to her house.
"Let's come to the kitchen, it's a little cold outside."
"Mom, there is a good opportunity recently. You should be able to buy a yard in this area. What I mean is that I will help you look at it. After the price is negotiated, Jianguo will pay for it."
Ding's mother's eyes widened when she heard this. She couldn't understand why her son-in-law mentioned this, but she didn't interrupt and waited to see what else he would say.
"Why did I say buy another yard? In fact, I know that since we moved here, neither you nor my dad have lived comfortably in the past year.
We used to live well here, but I won’t mention why we had to move there. As an elder, you must have your own considerations, but no matter what, we must first live comfortably. Do you think this is the case?
?
Look at my dad, since moving there, have you ever seen him smiling as happily as he did last night and today? What about you?
From a doctor's point of view, whether a person can live a long life, as long as there are no other diseases, good mood is definitely the main factor. I don't think you will be happy to leave first if you don't watch Kaikai get married and have children.
One step?"
At this point, Li Chu stopped. Ding Ma had already fallen into deep thought. It was useless to mention anything else, but Kaikai was definitely her lifeblood. On this point, even the little stinky baby had to step aside.
After all, his surname is Li, not Ding.
After moving here, my grandson doesn’t have so many playmates anymore. He doesn’t look as happy as when he lived here. After he came here yesterday, you can see that he was playing like crazy and had a happy smile on his face. Mom Ding felt like she hadn’t seen her for a long time.
arrive.
"Xiao Chu, you mean you can still buy a private courtyard now?"
There is a door!
"It's almost the same. I'm not sure I can buy it, but it should be possible. Don't you understand my ability?"
"We must pay for the purchase of the yard, including the cleaning up later, and if we can move here in the future, you must take back the house we live in now."
Done!
"Mom, are you planning to draw a clear line with me or what?"
"It's nonsense. Mom understands what you mean. But after all, my surname is Ding here. It's okay for you and Qiunan to be together. What about the future? I don't want Kaikai's generation or even their descendants to do anything bad because of a little wealth.
Come.
So let’s make it clear early on. As the old saying goes, brothers will settle accounts. It’s okay for you and Nannan to be filial to me and her dad, and we are willing to accept it. But as long as it involves Jianguo, we will make it clear. Only in this way can we be relatives for a long time.
.”
Although the old lady is a bit patriarchal, as some people from the old society are not, she is a sensible person in her heart.
"Sure." Li Chu nodded with a smile: "Just do what you said, I'll help you find a yard, and you can do the rest after the negotiation."
"Well, don't tell them yet."
"I understand, Mom, you can go inside and play cards."
"Okay." Ma Ding picked up the enamel bowl next to her and scooped out a bowl of peanuts: "I think the water is about to boil, please pay attention."
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it."
After Ding Ma went out, Li Chu sat on the small stool next to the stove, staring at the kettle, and soon his mind wandered.
There are still two years left, and I don’t know if some things will happen again. He has done a lot of things overtly and covertly in these years. If this cannot be changed, then he has nothing to do.
In fact, the biggest change is that he takes good care of many old men. With these calming needles, it is much easier to solve many things.
Many people thought that Li Chu got close to these old men in order to find a big and thick leg for himself. In fact, he had never thought about it this way.
Yes, these old men have all provided him with a lot of help to one degree or another, but except for Uncle Wang, who really treats him as his own child, everyone else has their own thoughts.
This is also because he has his use value.
To put it bluntly, if he is an ordinary person like his sister, then at most he is just a chubby person who can live a more comfortable life than ordinary people. If he wants to move up, I am afraid he is overthinking it.
The relationship between people is like this. If he hadn't been very capable, Mr. Shen would never have let his only grandson marry Wen Hui.
Li Chu knows this very well. He has his own selfish motives. Who doesn't want to live more comfortably and who doesn't want to enjoy a good life.
But while he has his own selfish motives, he also has a public heart. He wants the place he lives in to be better, better than the previous life!
"Woo..."
A whistle sounded, awakening Li Chu from deep thought.
The water on the stove was boiling. He stood up, picked up the pot and poured it into the thermos bottle next to him. Then he took another pot of cold water, sat on the stove again, and walked into the house carrying two thermos bottles.
There were two booths playing cards in the living room, and Wang Ziwen and a few others were smoking in the back garden.
The little stinky baby who was wandering around on the floor and sofa saw grandpa coming in, ran over and let him hold him, and then pointed outside, indicating that he wanted to go out to play.
It's not easy to go out in the cold weather. You don't have enough warm clothes at home, so you have to be fully equipped when you go out.
As soon as he walked out of the living room, the little stinky baby pointed at the snowman he built in the morning: "Grandpa, snow...snow..."
"Well, that's a snowman!"
"people"
"Yes, Snow~man!"
"Snow~man"
“Awesome!”
"Giggle..." Upon hearing his grandpa praising him, the little brat happily clapped his hands to himself.
It was a snowy day, and there were children running around outside. I don’t know where they got their energy from.
When Haohao and Kaikai saw him coming out, they rushed over and called one uncle and the other uncle. The boys who were playing with them also came over, some called them grandpa, some called them uncle, and so on.
After the gang of boys ran away to play, he carried the smelly baby and walked towards the intersection. In just a few steps, a layer of snow fell on the bodies of the grandfather and grandson.
