When He Qingdong reconciled with the past, Wen Qi, who had followed Su Chen away, also came to the residence Su Chen had prepared for her.
A yard that is not very big, but very quiet.
In this small courtyard, the landlady and her granddaughter lived. The house at home was still wide, so she rented out the other two rooms.
Su Chen lives in the house next door.
Knowing that their family had a house to rent, he came over immediately after receiving a call from He Qingdong, negotiated with the landlady, and rented their house.
The landlady's son, daughter-in-law, and husband were all sailing boats. A few years ago, they were caught in a storm while out at sea, and all three of their family were killed in the sea.
The only ones left were the landlady and a three or four-year-old granddaughter.
Several years have passed and my granddaughter is now seven or eight years old. She is a very well-behaved and sensible girl.
It was already evening now, and the lights were still on in the room where the landlady and the others lived, and the sound of the little girl reading could be heard from inside.
The landlady also walked out of the house after hearing the sound. When she saw Su Chen, a smile appeared on her face. After her eyes glanced at Wen Qi's belly, her smile hesitated.
But he didn't say anything.
"Comrade Su, I have cleaned the room."
This landlord is from this village, the neighbor next to the yard Su Xue bought. So the landlady knows Su Chen who lives here. She is a little fat and always smiles, so everyone likes to call her Fat Aunt.
.
Su Chen nodded: "Excuse me, Fat Aunt."
He took the key from the fat aunt and handed it to Wen Qi.
"You will live here during this period, and I will pay for the room and other expenses. If you have nothing to do, try not to leave the village. If you need anything, you can tell me."
Su Chen's expression was very calm.
It's completely business-like.
The fat aunt who originally guessed the relationship between Wen Qi and Su Chen also guessed the relationship between Su Chen and Wen Qi through Su Chen's behavior. There may be no relationship between the two.
Wen Qi said oh.
Su Chen turned around and left.
Wen Qi stopped him.
"that……"
"What's up?"
Su Chen stopped and looked back at Wen Qi.
Wen Qi thought for a while and said, "Would it be sad if your mother left you behind when you were very young?"
She didn't mean it.
But she really wants to know.
Would it be hard for the person who was left behind by her mother? She and Wen Zhe were often left behind by their mother when they were children, but they didn't feel anything at all.
So she didn't understand why He Qingdong's reaction was so big.
Su Chen looked at Wen Qi for a while, then said softly: "No child can accept his own mother abandoning him."
After saying that, he nodded to the fat aunt beside him, turned around and walked out of the yard, returning to his own place.
Wen Qi stood in the yard, lowering her head and touching her bulging belly.
Is it really that hard to be abandoned?
Then can't she give her child to someone else to raise? Even if she often gives him money and gives him a prosperous life, won't it work?
Wen Qi fell into deep thought.
The fat aunt looked at Wen Qi with her head lowered and thinking. She didn't know what to say. She could only smile and said that she would take Wen Qi to her room.
Wen Qi said oh.
"You are the fat aunt, right?"
"Um?"
"My name is Wen Qi."
Wen Qi solemnly introduced herself.
Fat Aunt:......
She never expected that this tenant would introduce herself so solemnly. The subtle thoughts she had because of Wen Qi's words just now disappeared at this moment.
The fat aunt smiled.
"Hey, okay. I'll call you Xiao Wen from now on."
"OK."
In this way, Wen Qi settled in this courtyard.
Time flies in the blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year is here.
This is the first year since Su Xue and the others were recognized by Mr. Gu, so the family must make special preparations.
There were only two people, Yu Hao and Gu Nianqing, who also came to the compound early to celebrate the New Year with them.
On the New Year's Day, no matter how busy you are, you should stop what you are doing and wait until the New Year is over.
The garment factory had stopped working for the holidays a few days ago, and the employees had all gone home to celebrate the New Year. Su Chen stayed behind to deal with some things, and he didn't finish until today.
Get ready to drive to Rongcheng to celebrate the New Year.
Before leaving, he came to Su Xue to hand over the account book, and also brought a lot of New Year's gifts. He took care of everyone. The things were not very expensive, but they were a waste of time.
Su Xue actually wanted to keep Su Chen here to celebrate the New Year together.
But no, Su Qingbai is back, and Zhao Meifen has been calling Su Chen to go back to celebrate the New Year. In addition, Su Zhe, whom he hasn't seen for a long time, has also come back with his wife, daughter and children to celebrate the New Year, so Su Chen has to go back.
Mrs. He and Mrs. Gu were busy filling the trunk of Su Chen's car with things. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, Su Chen was a little funny, but also a little helpless.
"Grandma, stop pretending, I can't pretend anymore."
He didn't even bring that much, but the two old men went to pack him back with a lot of things.
This made Su Chen really dumbfounded.
Seeing that they were still trying to squeeze into the front passenger seat, Su Chen quickly moved Su Xuelai out and asked her to come as a reinforcement.
Su Xue's belly is a bit bigger than it was at the beginning of the month.
If they hadn't just done a B-ultrasound and confirmed that there were really two children in her belly, then Su Xueba would have suspected that there were actually three or four children in her belly.
There's nothing I can do about it, it's because her belly is too big.
She was called out, and when she saw Su Chen's helpless look, she smiled and said, "Second brother, take it back with you. There are many people in the family, so there won't be much left to share with each person."
If we really want to say there are many people, then of course there are more people in their family.
But I can’t resist the strong popularity of my family!
Let’s talk about the young ones first. He Qingdong and Yu Hao bought a lot of things for the New Year.
Then my aunt Yu Shuyan sent a large load of things, followed by a new year's gift from above to express condolences to my grandfather, and various people came to visit me and gave me things.
Those things are not expensive, which is what the old man meant. It is okay to exchange favors, but you cannot give expensive things.
It won’t work if it’s more than ten yuan.
So most of what I brought were very ordinary things, such as two heads of cabbage, a bag of apples and oranges, some fungus and mushrooms, etc. A little for each person would add up to a lot.
Now the old lady and the others have counted some and asked Su Chen to take them home for the festival.
Su Chen looked at the old lady who enthusiastically regarded her as a family member, and then thought of his petty mother, he felt very complicated.
If the situation were bigger, their house would probably be very lively now.
Su Chen, who failed to push the things away despite repeated refusals, could only take a large cart of gifts, the old man's advice and the children's blessings, and set off back to Rongcheng.
After seeing Su Chen off, Su Xue and the others began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner in earnest.
Of course she didn't need to participate. The whole process was just sitting on the sofa, eating melon seeds and snacks, and chatting with Mrs. Gu who was also unable to intervene.
As soon as the two of them talked about Yu Shuyan, a voice sounded outside: "Is the cooking going to be ready soon? I smell a very fragrant smell."
