During the week when Li Boshan was away, Feng Yanhong went out early and came back late almost every day. Every time she came back at night and looked at her sleeping son, she was filled with guilt.
Sure enough, she can't take care of both her career and her family. In her current situation, she can't stop at all. Taking time out to spend time with her children has become a luxury.
Only through the mother's mouth can we know what her son has learned now and what he does every day.
"Mom, Yanjun said some time ago that he wanted to buy a house in Beijing. I went to see two houses two days ago. I thought they were pretty good. I chose one and completed the formalities today. I will take you to take a look in the next two days.
Here are the procedures, help Yanjun put them away."
Feng Yanhong took out a document bag from her bag and gave it to Bai Xiu.
"The house is not big, more than 80 square meters, with three bedrooms. Even if he gets married in the future, the house should be enough."
"Yes, just buy it if you want." Bai Xiu took the document bag with a smile.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten out. You don't have to worry about me. This is the family's living expenses for this month. You can take it while I go take a shower."
"I haven't used up the supplies from last month, so you don't need to spread them out for me."
Who can spend a thousand yuan a month?
"Just take it if you haven't spent it all. If you want to buy something, just buy it. If you don't want to buy it, just save it. Anyway, it's all for you."
When Feng Yanhong saw that she was about to return the money, she quickly walked out of the room with her bag.
Seeing that autumn was coming again, she had to take time to take her mother to buy a few sets of clothes. Time seemed to be running out.
Just as Feng Yanhong finished taking a shower, Ji Shuying hurriedly entered the door.
"Yanhong, your dad is coming tomorrow. I have to ask you to pick him up in the morning. He has a lot of things to bring."
Feng Yanhong agreed without any hesitation.
"Okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. Can't you just make a phone call? It's so dark and it's still a long trip."
Ji Shuying smiled and said: "Don't you have to pay the phone bill when you make a call? If nothing happens, I will just take a few steps. Is Hanghang sleeping?"
Bai Xiu quickly answered: "I've been sleeping for a while. Maybe I was tired from playing with Bo Qing today, so I fell asleep not long after I came back."
"Okay, I'll go back. I'll make breakfast tomorrow, just come over and eat." Ji Shuying was talking as she walked out, closing the courtyard door behind her.

Feng Yanhong received Li Zhong early in the morning and really brought a lot of things with her.
"Where's Boshan? Why do you have to run so early in the morning?" Li Zhong didn't let Feng Yanhong get anything, and he lifted the two big bags into the car.
"He went to the experimental field in the suburbs this week, and he probably won't be back until the weekend."
Sometimes she felt that her father-in-law was easy to get along with, but she was really scared of the way he looked like he was questioning someone with a sullen face.
After listening to Feng Yanhong's explanation, Li Zhong's face improved.
"Take time tomorrow to take you to my old house." Li Zhong's words were concise.
"Oh, okay."
Last time, her mother-in-law said she would take her there, but then Bo Qing was hospitalized and they moved again, so they forgot about it.
Why did father-in-law suddenly remember this?
But her father-in-law didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to ask. He just asked her to go and see it, and she just followed him obediently.
Li Zhong, who is usually not very enthusiastic, had sparks in his eyes the moment he saw Hang Hang.
This little guy is also strange. Usually when he meets strangers, he won't let him hug him no matter what.
As soon as his grandfather stretched out his hand, he jumped on him.
"Look at your grandpa's grinning teeth. The corners of his mouth almost reach the base of his ears."
Ji Shuying's eyes were sour, and she refused to spare Li Zhong.
"How many days can we stay this time?" Ji Shuying hoped that he could stay for a few more days, but I'm afraid it won't work.
"After finishing the work today, I will take Yanhong to visit my old house tomorrow and leave."
Ji Shuying nodded silently, knowing that she had to come here because of something else.
"Is it because of Yu Sheng's case?"
"Um."
After Yu Sheng escaped from Yincheng, he was involved in three lives in two provinces. To pronounce the verdict in the capital, files from all places must be submitted to the capital.
Feng Yanhong heard the conversation, but did not raise any questions. It had already been spread in the alley that Yu Sheng must be sentenced to death. However, more than half a year has passed, and there is still no sentence?
After breakfast, Li Zhong and Feng Yanhong went out one after another, each going to do his or her own business. Feng Yanhong wanted to advance or postpone tomorrow's things, so she was definitely busy today.

When standing in front of Li's house, Feng Yanhong was stunned. She probably visually inspected the courtyard when she walked over. It was at least twenty meters wide, right?
How much floor space does this occupy?
Of the pair of stone lions in front of the door, only one is left, and the other only has a stone pillar standing there bare and alone.
The paint on the door of the house is peeling, the gold on the plaque has long lost its color, and spider webs have become entangled several times.
Li Zhong took out the key, opened the door and said to Feng Yanhong:
"This house was left by our ancestors. When it was expropriated, the family was thoughtful and kept the title deed."
"When I came back two years ago, I didn't put much effort into it."
Ji Shuying then added angrily: "It didn't take much effort. That's because you didn't see what was done inside."
When you open the door, the weeds inside are half as high as a leg. There are three or two dilapidated and faded slogans posted on the screen wall. The blue bricks and gray tiles look very elegant, but no one has repaired them, so they look a bit worn out.
"It's a little dilapidated, but fortunately it was requisitioned. If it had been divided, I'm afraid this house would never come back even if it had the title deed."
Li Zhong looked around, but his eyes were still red.
"This house has five entrances in total. I haven't calculated how big the area is. Let's walk further inside."
Five advances?!
Feng Yanhong was shocked. She heard her second grandfather say that the courtyard where he lives now can barely be regarded as a courtyard with one entrance. Shouldn't five entrances be five times the size of that courtyard?
Five or six hundred square meters?
After walking only a few steps, Feng Yanhong felt that she was still naive. This yard probably had a lot of history. Although the bricks and tiles were old, she felt that it had nothing to do with being dilapidated. The simple texture that hit her face made her overjoyed.
receive.
However, the area occupied was larger than she imagined.
Ji Shuying's eyes were full of heartache since she entered the courtyard. It seemed that she had seen the original appearance of this courtyard.
"It's in such a state of disrepair that it won't be easy to repair it." Li Zhong stood in the middle of the third courtyard with a very complicated mood.
"Dad, it's actually not that difficult. I'll find someone to estimate the repair price later, and there will always be a way."
She now understood why her parents-in-law took her to see the yard, but in fact she also wanted to see the original appearance of the yard.
Once she has some savings, she can start practicing as long as she has enough.
Li Zhong smiled warmly, as if he was very pleased. He pointed to the opposite room and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you spend your money in vain. Come with me."
