My Courtyard Refuge

Mother and Daughter Night Talk

“Why don’t you live at home?” Mother Xu asked.

Xu Bin, the head of the family, took the initiative to answer for his daughter: “My home is too far from the school. It takes more than an hour to take the bus, and it’s so crowded that there are often no seats.”

“Oh, I wish I had known that I applied to the school here in Yanjing. Grandma can send you food every day.” Mama Xu said regretfully.

Seeing that his mother was about to start nagging again, Xu Dong quickly raised his glass:

“Come, come, let’s have a drink together. ”

“cheers!”

In the middle of the meal, Dad Xu finally came back.

Xu Ting quickly stood up and shouted, “Dad, you’re back.”

Dad Xu’s job as the general manager for half a year was not for nothing. He had more people in charge, and he unconsciously had more momentum, which made Xu Bin and his wife unable to react immediately.

“Yeah!” Dad Xu nodded reservedly, and then looked at the eldest family: “It’s good when we arrive, you can continue to eat, I’ll go wash my face first.”

After Dad Xu left, Xu Jingyi touched Ke Ke beside her:

“Has grandpa always been this serious?”

“No, grandpa treats us very well. My sister and I often go to grandpa’s company to play. Grandpa allows us to play games every time, and sometimes takes us to the amusement park.”

Xu Jingyi was thoughtful. She had always heard that her grandfather had started a big company, but she didn’t expect it to be true. She really couldn’t connect the taciturn grandfather with the person in front of her.

Father Xu came back soon, took off his shirt, and put on a T-shirt with a collar.

“Why didn’t Ma Jie come?”

Xu Ting explained the reason again, and then asked with concern: “Dad, I heard from the third child that you have been working overtime every day during this time, can your body take it?”

“It’s okay, the business is tight recently, and it will be fine next month.” Dad Xu shook his head.

Xu Bin stood up holding the wine glass and said, “Dad, I would like to toast you.”

Dad Xu will have to go back to the company to work overtime later, so he can only drink tea with his eldest son instead of wine.

Next, the family talked about what happened in Luyang and their lives.

In a word, life is still going on.

…

After the meal, Madam Xu first arranged for several people to take a bath in turn. During the meal just now, she could faintly smell a sour smell.

After taking a shower, Xu Bin and his wife lived in the second bedroom on the first floor, and Xu Jingyi shared a bed with Ma Lingling. After all, not every room in the house has air conditioning.

As for Xu Ting, Xu’s father was not at home, so he just squeezed with Xu’s mother.

After finally putting the triplets to sleep, Mother Xu took her daughter and whispered in a low voice, mainly because she was afraid of waking up the grandchildren.

“Did the boss come from you?”

“I don’t have this ability. It was my elder brother who took the initiative to call me. I said I would start on the first day of the new year, and then my elder brother said that we will be together at that time.” Xu Ting explained.

“It’s really strange, nothing happened to Boss’s family, right?” Mama Xu worried.

It has been seven or eight years since the eldest son and younger son fell out, and this is the first time that the eldest son took the initiative to visit his brother’s house.

Xu Ting shook her head: “I didn’t hear that, big brother and his family only have three people, and Jingyi is still in college, what could happen?”

“Could it be that the boss is sick?” Mama Xu panicked immediately.

“Puff!”

Xu Ting couldn’t help laughing, and then said comfortingly: “Mom, don’t think about it, at the dinner table just now, I think my eldest brother is almost full, how does he look like a patient?”

“Also say that your elder brother is full, aren’t you fed up too?” Mother Xu laughed and scolded, but she finally felt relieved, as long as people are fine.

While chatting, Xu Ting suddenly opened her mouth to test: “Mom, I discussed with Ma Jie and want to move to Yanjing, what do you think?”

Facing the water supply conditions in the capital, especially seeing the long hair of her mother and siblings, Xu Ting became more determined to move.

She has had enough of the days of lack of water.

“Have you figured it out?” Mother Xu said in surprise.

Xu Ting nodded: “It’s the house price here in Yanjing. I’m afraid I won’t be able to find any suitable houses in a while.”

“I asked Lao San about this, what your brother means is that you should go to Langfang to buy a house, the current housing price there should be about the same as that in Luyang.

You sold the house in Luyang, and your father and I will make some money for you, so it is no problem to buy a bigger house. ”

“Longboat? Isn’t that out of the capital?” Xu Ting frowned.

The gap between capital household registration and non-capital household registration is a world of difference.

Mother Xu patted her daughter lightly, and explained in a low voice:

“Will we still be able to harm you? Your brother said that the capital will soon expand eastward, and Langfang will still be able to run by then.

If you go to buy a house now, you are definitely picking up a big bargain.

Besides, the house price in Yanjing is now almost over 300,000 per square meter, you and Ma Jie can’t afford it for the rest of your life without eating or drinking.

Take a step back, Yanjing’s household registration is not easy to get, and now the upper management is very strict about the household registration, even if you buy a house, you may not be able to become naturalized. ”

Xu Ting was surprised and said, “Is my brother’s news reliable?”

“Why is it unreliable, Dongzi now knows a lot of big leaders, and he is well-informed!

Before he asked you to stock up on rice, what happened afterwards? There is also the matter of the cold wave, in short, you are right to listen to your brother. ”

Xu Ting was completely excited now. If this is true, then all the problems that plagued their family can be easily solved.

“Great, then I’ll go back tomorrow, and we must hurry up.”

Xu Ma gave a “shh”: “Hush, don’t talkDabao and the others woke up. You don’t have to worry too much, as long as you don’t wait until the end of March, you can buy a house in time. ”

“Is this what Dongzi said?” Xu Ting asked, she now has a kind of blind trust in her brother.

“Well, what your brother means is that it’s best for you and the eldest family to move here together.

But I took the time to ask the boss just now, the two of them mainly consider that Jingyi is still studying, and they will not leave Luyang for two or three years. ”

Mama Xu said regretfully.

“Brother is a dead-headed man, I’ll try to persuade him later.”

“Forget it, I’m a little worried about leaving Jingyi alone in Luyang. Let the two of them stay with me. We’ll talk about the move after Jingyi graduates.” Mother Xu sighed.

===Section 87===

“The house?”

“No, let’s rent a house first, our family does not lack that little rent.”

Originally, Mother Xu had a ready-made house under her name, which could be lent to the eldest family to live in, but this could not be done in this way, as it would easily lead to conflicts.

“I’m afraid that big brother will regret it in the future, and maybe he will blame you and my dad.” Xu Ting reminded that there is a precedent for this matter.

Mama Xu snorted, and said forcefully, “If you complain, just complain. Anyway, I don’t expect him to take care of the old age. Your father’s company is running well, and we don’t rely on anyone.”

“How much money did Dad’s company make last year?” Xu Ting took the opportunity to ask.

She wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but she couldn’t find a chance to ask it.
