Eye of Sin

Chapter 687 Moving
Before Huo Yan could say anything, it was Ning's father and mother who came to their senses first.

Although they liked Huo Yan living upstairs in their house, ever since the young man established a relationship with their little daughter, they had directly stated that the house should be for their family to live in and there would be no rent.

However, Huo Yan said that even if they got married in the future, it would not be good for grown-up children to take advantage of their parents so openly, not to mention that he has not yet become a regular employee.

The two elders of the Ning family had no choice but to save the rent money that Huo Yan gave them separately, intending to give it to their two children intact when they entered the next stage of life.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yan suddenly found his relatives who had been lost for thirty years. Mr. Xing’s financial strength should not be underestimated.

Now that their grandfather has made such a request, it is naturally difficult for them to object.

There is no reason for Huo Yan to leave his own grandfather's house and pay rent to live in the house upstairs from his own house.

"Yes, you are right, old man. This is indeed not appropriate." Father Ning was a little reluctant, but reason prevailed over emotion. He looked at Huo Yan and said, "Xiao Huo, how about... you go and pack up your things later..."

"No, no, it's getting late, and it will be too hasty to pack up later." Xing Zongda smiled and waved his hands, saying to Huo Yan, "Since my in-laws have no objection, I will assume that you agree!

How about this, you and Xiaoyi drive me home later, I will go back tonight and pack up, don't we have another day off tomorrow, you two should take a good rest tomorrow, young people, you are busy with work, it's not easy to take a break, sleep in first, then drive over and help me bring all the people and things here!"

"Okay... um?" Huo Yan responded subconsciously, then realized that something seemed wrong and looked at Xing Zongta with some confusion.

"What? Do you think it would be troublesome for an old man like me to live with you?" Xing Zongda looked pitiful. "That's right. You are usually so busy with work..."

"You mean, you want to move in and live with me?" Huo Yan was a little surprised.

"Shouldn't your upstairs have the same layout as my in-laws'?" Xing Zongda looked around, "What's the layout of this house? It looks quite spacious."

"Three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms." Ning's father replied.

"Well, I shouldn't disturb you all if I move in here, right?" Xing Zongda asked pitifully again.

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me! We definitely have no objection. If you move in, I will have nothing to do at home after retirement. We can still play chess, drink tea and chat together!" Ning's father said immediately.

Huo Yan was sure that he had misunderstood his grandfather's meaning. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "I thought you would like living in your own home. After all, it is a villa."

"Forget about a villa, even if it's a palace, what's the use! It's empty, cold, and has no human touch." Old Master Xing waved his hand, "I'm old now, and I don't care about the grandeur and luxury. I just like the warmth of daily life at home, and the popularity of people!

So, if you all have no objection, I will really go back and pack my things, and move in tomorrow while Xiaoyan is free to join you guys?"

"I have no objection." Huo Yan shook his head.

Father Ning was also happy: "I have even less objection!"

So the matter was happily decided. Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan sent Mr. Xing home in the evening, and the next day they packed their luggage into a large car. I thought it would be daily necessities and clothes that many elderly people are used to, but in the end, the only personal belongings of Xing Zongda were a small travel bag, and the rest were some long-lasting ingredients, aged liquor, tonics, etc.

"It's pointless to drink these things alone, and the doctor won't let me drink too much.

I don't know how to stew those tonic foods, so I asked the nanny to do it. She put in one pound of food, but less than six ounces came out of the pot.

It would be better to bring it here and let your father-in-law stew it. I will eat it with them. It won’t be a waste and it will be more lively!” Old Master Xing gave this answer to Huo Yan’s question about why he brought so many of these things.

The word "father-in-law" instantly dyed Huo Yan's face a light layer of red.

Seeing this, Grandpa Xing smiled and patted his shoulder: "Boy, there's not much Grandpa can do to help you. You have to work hard on your own!"

Finally, he couldn't help but sigh slowly, with a little more sadness in his tone: "Although we are grandfather and grandson, but... I am already this age, who knows how much longer God has left me!

One day, when grandpa is gone, the Ning family may be the most reliable relatives you can rely on in this world!"

Huo Yan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic when listening to his grandfather's words, but he was never good at expressing such delicate emotions. He could only put his arm around Grandpa Xing's shoulders and said, "There is still a long way to go."

Mr. Xing also laughed: "You are right!"

After moving in, Huo Yan gave the master bedroom and master bathroom to his grandfather. After all, Grandpa Xing was old, and he needed to have a good rest and be more convenient in all aspects. He himself moved to the guest bedroom.

I have to say that Mr. Xing is really an old man who is very worry-free and has a very good personality. After he moved in, he did not add any burden to anyone else.

Every morning when Huo Yan got up early for morning exercises, Grandpa Xing also got up. He would go downstairs with Huo Yan and Ning Shuyi. While the two young people went jogging, he would stroll to the nearby vegetable market alone. When Ning's father got up in the morning to buy breakfast, he had already returned from the vegetable market and bought a lot of fresh ingredients.

"You young people, it's better to sleep a little longer in the morning." Grandpa Xing said this in response to Ning's father's thanks.

This made Mr. Ning, who was in his early sixties, laugh and cry.

After living upstairs in the Ning family for a while, because he often played chess and drank tea with Ning's father, Mr. Xing inevitably got to know Liang Xuanming, who often went to the Ning family for no reason.

Liang Xuanming was a very outgoing person, and Mr. Xing also liked to talk. The two of them liked each other, so the Ning family, which was already bustling, became even more lively.

"Oh, it's great!" After dinner one day, Mr. Xing sat on the sofa and looked at Ning Shuyi, Huo Yan, Ning Shuyue, and Liang Xuanming who were still eating and chatting at the table. He couldn't help but sigh, "I really have to thank you!

As an old man, I always thought that my later years would be lonely and deserted!

Thanks to you, I finally understand what it feels like to have a house full of children and grandchildren and a warm home!"
