Chapter 869 Persuasion
One update arrived.
"I understand what you are thinking. You have watched Qian Yan grow up with your own eyes. Just like your own granddaughter, where are your feelings? Even if she does something wrong, you can't really blame her..." Chu Xia He smiled at Old Madam Qi and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you just because I want to compete with her for favor."
"This child..." Old Mrs. Qi hugged Chu Xia dotingly, "Although you are younger than her, you are more sensible and have a calmer personality. I really hope you can take care of her more. Don't you feel strange in your heart? Why is my old lady so partial?"
"No wonder..." Chu Xia looked at the old lady seriously, "This shows that you don't treat me as an outsider. Otherwise, why would you make such a request to me?"
The old lady laughed happily and said, "You kid, I like you from the bottom of my heart. Your husband definitely has a good eye."
Chu Xia nodded solemnly: "He does have a good eye in this regard. Otherwise, in a few years, everyone will find out how good I am, and there will be no place for him!"
"..." Old Mrs. Qi had a dark streak. This kid was good at everything, but he was so shameless for a while that it was hard to answer...
"Auntie, I'm telling the truth." Chu Xia emphasized again.
Mrs. Qi nodded quickly: "Yeah, yeah, I know."
"Know that you don't praise me either?"
"..."
Seeing the helpless look on the old lady's face, Chu Xia smiled proudly: "Auntie, do you still dare to let me bring more Qian Yan?"
"Actually..." Old Mrs. Qi sighed, "Actually, I am not qualified to care about Qian Yan's affairs, Chu Xia. Just think that I was talking to myself before."
"Old aunt..." Chu Xia took the old lady's arm and shook it, "I didn't mean that. Don't be angry with me, I promise you. As long as Qian Yan is willing, I will definitely be friends with her, okay?"
"I'm not angry..." Mrs. Qi patted her hand, "I'm telling the truth. Although Yanyan is close to us, she is just a neighbor. I am really not qualified..."
For making the old lady so sad, Chu Xia looked apologetic: "Auntie, if I said something that made you sad, please be considerate. I didn't mean it. I was just joking with you, not blaming you." You, really..."
"I know..." the old lady sighed, "It's none of your business.
It was only when I suddenly remembered Qian Jianming's attitude that I realized that I was worrying blindly. "
"Qian Jianming is Qian Yan's father?"
"Yeah." The old lady nodded, "He doesn't like Yanyan and Yanyan's mother to associate with us. Yanyan's mother used to have more contacts with us, but because of Qian Jianming, she basically couldn't come over. Fortunately, Yanyan's mother had more contacts with us. Yan basically comes here for a walk every day.”
"No wonder you and Qian Yan have such a deep relationship..." Chu Xia pulled the old lady affectionately. "In the future, except for Qian Yan, our family will come over often. If you are willing, you can also come to my house to play.
You have already met my mother, and you know her character. My father, like my mother, has a very good personality. Grandpa Wan and my grandma and grandpa are also very good-natured people. You will definitely get along with them. "
"Okay, no matter how warm the weather is, I will go to your house to have a look..." Old Mrs. Qi couldn't help but sigh, "We, brother and sister, really don't have many friends. To be honest, we are looking forward to having more friends. How to get along with Dakai."
"You don't have to worry about the elders in our family. The people in my husband's family are also very good-natured. Otherwise, why don't you and the teacher move to our place? There will be people to chat with every day. How lively will it be?"
"You kid..." Old Mrs. Qi shook her head in a funny way, "How is that possible? We can't just break into the house even though we can get along with it. No matter how generous your husband's family is, we can't be so ignorant."
"It's nothing. Our house is empty anyway. In that case, it will be convenient for me to study..." Chu Xia looked at the old lady with bright eyes, "Anyway, you and the teacher don't have many acquaintances here, so why not wait for the teacher to come back?" If you don't, let's discuss it with him and move him to our place.
Auntie, if you are reluctant to part with Qian Yan, just ask her to come and visit you in the future. Now that I have told you this, I will not hide it from you. In fact, I came over today and went to Qian's house first.
Qian Yan went to school to find me today and said that her mother was not good to her grandfather. In fact, she did it on purpose. The purpose was not to make it difficult for Grandpa Wan. I didn't believe it at first, but then she convinced me.
I came here with her because I wanted to hear Aunt Wan's thoughts. Facts have proved that Aunt Wan has indeed not been having a smooth life these past few years, and she is indeed sincerely thinking about Grandpa Wan.
Aunt Wan asked me to continue to hide it for her. She didn’t want to drag down Grandpa Wan and affect Grandpa Wan’s life. I also believed that she was not lying to me.
But I also know that I can't hide this matter forever, otherwise, when Grandpa Wan knows the truth one day, he will definitely feel very guilty.
In two months at most, Aunt Wan and Grandpa Wan will be reunited. By then, you will be able to see Qian Yan more often. Auntie, please persuade the teacher to move over, okay?
Even if you pity me, I have a big belly, running back and forth every day, not to mention tired, and a waste of time. If conditions don't allow, I won't say this. If the house at home is idle, it will be idle. Why do I have to have those things? It’s bound by rules and regulations, don’t you think that’s the reason? "
Old Mrs. Qi actually likes Chu Xia's proposal. This has been her wish for many years. However, after experiencing so much, she has always regarded this wish as an impossible dream.
Although she was already in her prime years, what she remembered most deeply was the lively scene of a big family living together when she was a child.
During those years when her brother was sent down and she was the only one left in the family, it was these memories that allowed her to survive.
"Forget it!" In the end, Mrs. Qi sighed and refused, "I do like the excitement of a big family living together, but I can never go back to the past. Doing this forcefully will only increase the sadness. That’s all.”
"How about..." There is no other way, so Chu Xia had to settle for the next best thing, "How about you rent a house near us? Anyway, there isn't much here to miss.
Moreover, you have to avoid Qian Yan's father's rejection of you and Grandpa Qi. If Qian Yan actually moves, he won't know if Qian Yan comes to find you. Everyone feels at ease, right? "
While the two were talking about this question, Mr. Qi came back. Seeing his sister's red eyes and forced smile, he looked at Chu Xia inquiringly.
"I suggest you and my aunt move to our place. It will be more convenient..." Chu Xia explained to Mr. Qi in detail what he had said to Mrs. Qi before.
"Not bad..." Unexpectedly, Mr. Qi agreed happily, "Your suggestion is not bad. It will not only improve efficiency, but also make it more convenient for everyone to communicate. It's great.
Xinzhi, I know you are sad because you feel that no matter how lively it is, it will not be as lively as we used to be. But this life is like this. Your loved ones will leave one by one on the way to accompany you. We can't Always live in memory.
If our parents are alive in heaven, they will also hope that we can live a happier life. If they know the life you and I are living now, they will definitely be very sad and sad, don’t you think? "
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Qi agreed to Mr. Qi's request, but there was one request: the brother and sister should rent a house alone and not be crowded together with Chu Xia's family.
"Your mother-in-law doesn't want to make things difficult for you..." Mr. Qi looked at Chu Xia, "You have good intentions, and your husband's family and your mother's family are also good people. I'm sure of this, but there are some things that must be clearly distinguished. A little bit will help everyone get along more comfortably.
Let's do this. I'll leave it to you to help us find a house. We can live in it for two people. It shouldn't be too big. Your aunt and I have also sorted out the things here in the past few days. "As he said this, he looked at Mrs. Qi and said, "Xinzhi, is this okay? "
"You make up your mind."
Mr. Qi frowned: "How can that be done? You stay at home most of the time. I need your approval first."
After thinking about it, Mrs. Qi nodded: "Okay, that's it."
The brother and sister have lived together for so many years. They are brother and sister emotionally. In fact, they are almost like a husband and wife. Mr. Qi is in charge of the outside and Mrs. Qi is in charge. When it comes to making the real decision, the brother and sister discuss it and finally decide on Qi. Mainly old ladies.
From this incident, we can also see that apart from his explosive temper, Mr. Qi has absolutely nothing to say in other aspects.
Three days later, Wang Zhongliang helped rent a house about ten meters away from Lin's house. It was not a courtyard house, but had four main rooms, two bedrooms, a hall, and another room that could be used as a study room, complete with kitchen and bathroom.
Looking at the information Wang Zhongliang brought, Chu Xia hesitated for a moment, but still asked her doubts: "Uncle Wang, what does the landlord do? Does the property right belong to an individual or a collective?"
In this era, most of the houses of ordinary people are allocated by work units. For example, some big families may have their ancestral property returned. Therefore, renting a courtyard house may not be too difficult, but renting a small house with a courtyard is probably not easy. .
Wang Zhongliang actually solved this problem in such a short period of time. Naturally, Chu Xia was extremely puzzled.
"The landlord is an individual. He lives with his wife and son and daughter-in-law now. He doesn't plan to move back within three years. I feel that the house will be idle if it is empty, so I plan to rent it out in exchange for some living expenses."
"Are they sure they won't move back within three years?" After asking, Chu Xia waved her hand, "It's okay, let's rent it first. If the landlord wants to use the house then, just let the teacher and the old lady live with us. "
"Yes, I will inform Uncle Qi now and see when it is convenient for him. I will take someone to move the things over." (To be continued...)
