Chapter 683: Acerbic Words
"Okay! The old lady is moving today, you hurry up and get dressed, let's go and take a look. We can't have the old lady move and none of us, the children, show up. If the guards see us, they will think we are unfilial children."
Song's mother said this naturally because of her own thoughts. She thought that since the old lady had moved out of that house, the house would be empty anyway, so she simply asked the second son to discuss it with the old lady.
Let them live in that house. He had long been interested in the old lady's house. The house was very spacious, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and it was very clean and tidy.
The important thing was that it was opposite the door of her son.
Although she didn't like her granddaughter very much, the problem was that she could see her son and granddaughter every day, which was also a comfortable thing.
It was better than the two of them being dead at home now.
Song Qinghe was also preparing to go to the old man because he wanted to discuss the promotion to the dean with the old lady and let her make a phone call.
At his age, this might be his last hope of promotion in his life.
If he fails to get promoted again this time, he will face retirement. Who doesn't want to fight at the last moment?
Fang Xiaohui secretly curled her lips, thinking that the talisman she had obeyed wasted.
If she had known that her mother-in-law would go without her saying anything, why would she waste this talisman.
Both the father-in-law and the mother-in-law went to see the old lady and the old man, so naturally she, the granddaughter-in-law, could not be left behind.
So the family of three took a car and went straight to the courtyard. Although it was their first time, they asked for the address. The driver asked for a long time and finally they arrived at the place.
It was easy to recognize once they arrived, after all, there was only one family moving.
When they saw this courtyard, the three of them were jealous.
They originally thought it was just a small courtyard, which had about seven or eight rooms, plus a yard and a patio, and it was not much better.
The courtyard houses that we usually see all look shabby, and some courtyard houses, although large, have dozens of people living in one courtyard, and the neighbors are all together, with so many people and so many gossips, which makes people feel upset.
The courtyard house in front of us is different.
It should be said that the courtyard houses around are different.
To be precise, this courtyard house and the other three courtyard houses around it form a larger courtyard house.
Each courtyard house is a two-entry courtyard.
The four courtyard houses combined together actually form a larger courtyard house.
When Song's father and mother saw such a big house, they felt a little sour. Although it is impossible for the old man to buy all four courtyards, this courtyard house with two entrances is extraordinary.
There are more than a dozen houses in the two courtyard houses.
As soon as you walk in, you will feel friendly and peaceful, with a strong atmosphere of life. The courtyard is wide and of appropriate size. There are flowers and stones in the courtyard, crabapple trees, pomegranate bonsai, and goldfish in a large tank, which means good luck.
It is an ideal outdoor living space, like a large open-air living room, bringing the world closer to people's hearts.
They felt relaxed and happy when they walked in.
Mrs. Song had just instructed the young comrade to arrange the furniture in the house. In fact, this was the last batch of things, and the aunt at home was busy.
Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi also came to help.
Their house was almost packed and they were going to move in a few days.
But when they heard that the old man and the old lady were going to move in first, they ran over to help.
The two bumped into each other at once.
Mother Song was furious when she saw Fan Xiuying.
Jiang Xiaoxiao is used to pleasing the old man, and the old lady is fine, but Jiang Xiaoxiao's parents are even more capable. Look, they have entered the house, but their children are not around to show their filial piety, but the outsiders are running to show off in front of the old man and the old lady.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao's father and mother are here too!"
Only then did Mrs. Song and Mr. Song realize that there were three more uninvited guests.
"Why are you here?"
The old man and the old lady are people who never want to trouble others. Although they didn't plan to let their children come for the move, after all, they have people at hand. As long as they make a phone call, many people from the guard company will come to help, and moving is not a big deal.
There are also aunts at home to help with the cleaning, plus Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi have helped them for several days, and even the cleaning of the house is done by two people.
The old man and the old lady thought that they would live together in the future, and Fan Xiuying and the others also had to clean up their own courtyard.
Anyway, one family is cleaning, and the two families are cleaning, so they might as well clean up together.
I didn't care about these things. I originally thought that I would notify my sons to come and gather after moving here, which would be considered as a formal notification to them that they would live here in their old age.
Unexpectedly, the second son and his wife got the news first.
When she saw Fang Xiaohui following behind them, the old lady knew that it must be Fang Xiaohui who told them.
Their move was so noisy, how could Fang Xiaohui and her family who lived across the street not know about it.
"How come my parents didn't tell us about such a big thing as moving. At least let us come to help, why bother outsiders. You are slapping us sons and daughters-in-law in the face."
Mother Song felt a little aggrieved. Why couldn't the old man and old lady consider them? They were so old, and if the old man and old lady did this, how would outsiders view their sons and grandsons.
Mr. Song was impatient. It was just a small matter, something that could be easily solved, but when it came to his daughter-in-law, she made a big deal.
"Why do we have to listen to you about how we move? For your face, we have to put ourselves in a difficult position. If you really respect us old people, you should have known what we are going to do.
On weekdays, it only happens once a month. What is the matter that we have to inform you? What outsiders? Xiao Fan and Xiao Jiang are just our parents. They are our in-laws, how can they become outsiders in your mouth.
They helped to clean up the house inside and out. Not only did they not get any good things from you, but they also became a big deal. You are the ones who have too many things to do. Since you are here, help and work quickly."
With the words of the old man, Song's father, Song's mother and Fang Xiaohui could only help quickly.
The old man smiled and said to Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi, "Don't they dislike you as an outsider? Come on! You are an outsider, but you are a guest. Let's go in and sit down and drink tea. Let them do the rest."
Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi couldn't intervene and help at this time. They had good intentions, but when they said that, it seemed like they were stealing other people's children's work.
The two had to stop and follow the old man and the old lady into the house to drink tea.
Song's father, Song's mother, and Fang Xiaohui followed and kept busy. The three of them were so busy that their backs ached. Although they didn't need to move furniture, they had to do small and delicate work. They couldn't just stand there and watch.
This busyness lasted until the afternoon. Instead, Fan Xiuying and the others were drinking tea and eating there, leisurely.
Fang Xiaohui glared. Her mother-in-law was a failure. She just showed up and showed her achievements, but she had to gossip.
This time, even though the words were said and the old man asked you to perform, you still exhausted yourself.
