When Xiao Ruo came, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Tongtong greeted Xiao Ruo warmly, "Sit down quickly."
Xiao Ruo looked around and could only sit on the armrest of the small sofa and asked, "Where is grandma? Is she recovering well?"
"It's good!" Tongtong said, "It's just that I'm getting older and my legs and feet are inconvenient. I'm resting in the house, I'm afraid I fell asleep. Please be gentle with your hands and feet and go in and have a look."
Xiao Ruo glanced in the direction of the bedroom and said, "I won't disturb you while I'm sleeping. It'll be the same when I wake up and see you again." Then he asked his mother, "Grandma is okay, why do you still look so ugly?"
Bai Yun did not answer Xiao Ruo's question, but looked at Tongtong, "Then, sell this house and buy a new apartment. Sign the agreement with the other party, and grandma can live in it until the day of moving into the apartment. Three months to go.
The deadline is half a year.”
Tongtong's eyelids drooped and she said, "That's okay! Sell it...if I buy it again, I can just buy it under your name. Paying property fees, electricity, water bills are all troublesome, and someone has to take care of them." I added.
I don’t covet your house. If you want to sell it, just sell it! I just don’t know if the old lady is willing.
Sure enough, the bedroom door was suddenly opened, and the old lady cried and scolded Baiyun: "How cruel a mother you are! You don't think about your children at all! Sell the house, and your name is Tongtong."
Have you returned to this place? In this place, in this school district, don't you have any plans for Tongtong's future? She will stay in school and work, have this old house, and will be replaced by a high-rise building in the future. She will be fine for the rest of her life and don't have to worry about it. What about you? Just open your mouth.
If you want to sell and buy an apartment, does the apartment come with a school district? Does it come with such a good school district?"
Baiyun: "...That's not what I meant!"
"Then what do you mean?" The old lady was crying and wiping away her tears, and came over to pull Tongtong over, "Tongtong is so pitiful."
Tongtong smiled, the old lady knew it. Baiyun repeatedly refused to support and care for her, and she murmured in her heart. The house is her last guarantee! As long as the house is in her name, she has capital. For example, if she takes
The house is hanging on you. As long as you want to inherit the house, you have to take care of the old lady. So, can she agree to sell it? If she sells it, it will become yours. By then, she will be empty-handed. When she really lies there and cannot move, what hope will she have?
Who is going?
So, don't talk about selling the house! The old lady won't compromise.
Tongtong advised the old lady, "You also like to worry! Didn't I already tell you? Stop worrying about me. Just be okay, I know you are okay, that's all! Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Of course.
I have to take care of you first. The idea my mother said is really a good one. Let's sell the house here and buy a small apartment near my mother's place. The facilities in the apartment are very good, just like a hotel.
"
That’s not for sale either!
The old lady sat down on the sofa and pushed Tongtong, "I can also see that you are also a little white-eyed wolf, and your heart is towards your mother."
Xiao Ruo raised her hand to help Tongtong, "Grandma, you are serious, why are you pushing my sister!" It's so annoying! When I was a child, I would come to my grandma's house and I would always see my grandma asking my sister to do this or that.
In fact, the old lady didn't push hard and she couldn't really push. This was actually a bit of a joke. Mainly because she was afraid of making things awkward.
But Xiao Ruo was only eighteen, and the pampered rebellious period might be a bit long. She took out her mobile phone and called, "Dad, my grandma is discharged from the hospital. She can't go up and down the stairs and has to live in the elevator room. My mother and my sister wanted to sell the house and buy it."
The apartment is placed in my mother's name so that my mother can take care of my grandma. But my grandma doesn't agree..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yun grabbed the phone and asked, "What did you say, kid?" Then he said to the phone, "Old Xiao, it's okay, it's just a little family matter. Ruoruo and I will be back soon. Let's talk at home."
Then he hung up the phone.
Baiyun then said to the old lady: "Mom, please rest first. I'll go back and discuss with Ruoruo's father to see what should be done." After saying that, he pulled Xiao Ruo, then winked at Tongtong, and then told the old lady again.
The wife said, "Today is Saturday, Tongtong has to go back to have dinner with her grandparents. We can't go back on this matter. We invited so many people to mediate at that time. It was agreed by Ruoruo's father and I. Let the children go there first."
Let’s eat together, okay?”
Tongtong said, "Ouch," "I forgot to tell grandma. I signed up for a double major and have classes on Saturdays and Sundays. Not only can I not go to grandma's place for dinner, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to grandma's place for dinner either."
I can’t take care of it anymore. When you discuss it with Uncle Xiao, you have to talk about it and consider taking care of grandma’s life... I really can’t get away from it.”
That certainly won't affect your studies.
Bai Yun urged: "Then you go back to school first."
"I also made an appointment with my sister to have dinner with her."
Bai Yun said angrily: "Another day! When your sister has less classes... one day she can't eat." As he spoke, Tongtong in one hand and Xiao Ruo in the other were dragged out of the room.
Tongtong guessed that he was afraid that if the old lady muttered again, he would make a fuss and refuse to ask her to sell the house.
Coming out was just what he wanted. Tongtong waved to Baiyun and Xiao Ruo while riding on the bicycle, "Then I'll go back to school first!" The rest is up to you to arrange. Baiyun nodded and told Tongtong to go first.
Tongtong left, Xiao Ruo got into the cab and put on his seat belt, "My grandma is simply unreasonable."
Okay! Just say a few words.
Today is Saturday, and father and daughter Xiao Yunqian and Xiao Ou are both here.
Xiao Ou was carrying a dinner plate with a salad in it. This was her lunch today. When she came out of the kitchen, she happened to see Xiao Ruo throwing her handbag on the sofa as soon as she entered the door. From such a long distance, it was kicked and banged everywhere.
. She stopped at that time, pointing the fork at Xiao Ruo: "You are itchy, right? Try throwing another one?"
Xiao Ruo was startled, but still said: "I'm at home, what's wrong with throwing my bag away?"
Xiao Ou sneered: "Besides having a face, what else do you have? Have you grown up with such a thing? Whose upbringing did you throw around casually?"
Xiao Ruo stamped his feet and shouted toward the study: "Dad——"
Xiao Ou walked over in two steps, picked up her bag, and threw it at Xiao Ruo, "Who can tolerate your bad habits!" "Ah!" The bag was thrown hard at her face, and Xiao Ruo raised her hand.
I blocked it with my arm and didn't hit my face, but my arm was so painful that I burst into tears.
"If you cry again, I will throw you out." Xiao Ou looked at Xiao Ruo while eating, to see how coquettish she could be.
Bai Yun pushed Xiao Ruo, "Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to your sister and say you were wrong."
Xiao Ruo didn't say anything. As soon as he saw his father coming out, he opened his arms and burst into tears: "Dad, my sister beat me."
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Yunqian came over and hugged her, "Dad said your sister." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Ou, "You too, how old are you! Why do you always bully her?"
Xiao Ou curled his lips. He was going back to the bedroom, but now he didn't. He sat down at the dining table and said, "What is food here? The nanny is not here, and there is no one to cook at home."
Bai Yun quickly said: "Whatever you want to eat, I will make it right away."
"It's a rare weekend, let's have a sumptuous meal." Xiao Ou ordered, "Let's make some fish balls, fish ball soup, and just stir-fry four or five vegetables." Then he looked at Xiao Yunqian, "Dad, let's have some.
A few cups. The experimental data are very optimistic. I originally wanted to ask you to invite me out to eat, but since I have something to do at home, forget it and just eat something at home."
Bai Yunxin said that making fish balls at home is trivial. How can it be casual? She said, "Why don't you go out to eat? It's not a big deal."
"Aunt Bai is so interesting. If the old man's things are not a big deal, then what is a big deal?" Xiao Ou asked: "You don't want to cook? You should have told me earlier! I will do it."
No! No need! "I just wanted to ask your dad to take you to have a nice meal."
"Thank you for your understanding. You take such good care of me. The old man in the house is none other than someone else. I can't feel at ease unless we discuss the placement." Xiao Ou said, "Let me help you. Let's cook while we do it."
While talking."
No! You sit down. I'll cook right now.
I put on my apron, washed my hands, and took out the fish to handle. Over there, Xiao Ruo had already told everything, "Grandma, too. I think it's quite appropriate to buy a house..."
Xiao Ou said, "What a light thing to say! If you become a big star in the future, then you can buy it for your grandma. As long as you are willing to pay for it, you will definitely have a house you like. But what about now? You still want to be close to us, and you still want to be close to us."
If you want to meet so many conditions, then where can you find this house? This is unrealistic! Besides, what the old man said makes sense! I think you are heartless. The house is sold, your sister
Where will you live? Are you homeless? Or come to our house and squeeze in with you?"
"You can squeeze in with me, I'm happy."
Xiao Ou snorted at her, "If you are happy, why don't you ask her if she is happy or not? You are always doted on, and you don't even understand what it means to live under someone else's roof, or what it means to look at people's faces."
Bai Yun's hand slipped, and the knife cut into her hand, and blood came out immediately. She didn't say anything, and quickly took a band-aid and wrapped it.
Why do you say that? When I first got married, I always thought that my children were ignorant. Sometimes I did give Xiao Ou a look when I was irritable. Who knew that Xiao Ou was a very precocious child and would not speak when he was treated coldly, but
But she turned around and complained to her uncle and aunt, her grandparents. If she hadn't happened to be pregnant with Xiao Ruo, she and Lao Xiao would have almost divorced.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Xiao Ou say, "Aunt Bai, don't worry too much. It's all because I wasn't sensible when I was a kid. Don't always remember it."
Bai Yun: "..." Forget it! I'm used to it! This is how Xiao Ou always talks.
Xiao Yunqian couldn't talk about his daughter, and he felt that what he said was really a sign of anger. So he interrupted and said, "Otherwise, let's buy an apartment by ourselves..."
Xiao Ou sneered in his heart. She, Baiyun, wanted to buy it herself and use her family's money to buy a house for her mother. Why?
She didn't say anything against it at the time. Bai Yun was very pleasantly surprised. He prepared the meal carefully and served Xiao Ou the food attentively, "Try it, how does it taste?"
"It's delicious! I love Aunt Bai's cooking. I never get tired of eating it every day." Xiao Ou looked satisfied after eating.
Bai Yun said hurriedly: "Then I will do it for you every day and send you to school."
OK! Thank you Aunt Bai, Aunt Bai is the best to me.
Xiao Ruo suddenly felt very uncomfortable. In this house, her mother was so groveling. When did she become the boss?
After Xiao Ou finished eating, he watched Bai Yun go to the kitchen to clean up, so he took out his phone and called his grandma, but he said loudly, "Aunt Bai also said that she would bring me food. Yes, I have been eating school meals for so many years.
, I’m tired this morning, I’m really feeling queasy.”
Bai Yun heard this and couldn't help but smile. He thought that he would buy some small yellow croaker tomorrow, Xiao Ou likes to eat it.
Over there, Xiao Ou held up the phone and returned to the room. As soon as the door was closed, he said to his grandma, "...you too, why can't you keep your mouth shut at this time? If you don't come, the grandma from the Bai family will come to live, and my dad will
I can save a sum of money to settle Grandma Bai. What kind of house can I buy if I save a lot of money..." So, Grandma Xiao arrived that night, "I heard that your mother is sick, and I haven't got around to seeing her yet. Let's go tomorrow.
, I should go and visit tomorrow."
Bai Yun said hurriedly: "It's not a problem, it's just a minor problem."
Xiao Ou said, "Don't hide it from grandma, we can't lose etiquette." Then he told grandma, "It's quite heavy and I can't go up and down the stairs. My dad and Aunt Bai are discussing buying an elevator room for the old lady.
Yes, the house over there doesn’t have an elevator, and it’s really inconvenient to go up and down on the fourth floor. We have to go and take a look, it’s hard to buy good tonics outside! I called my aunt’s wife, she always has some in stock at her house.
Yes, the aunt said to bring more. She has something to do over there, so she can't go visit her. Don't be surprised."
Grandma Xiao looked surprised, "Why are you talking about buying a house? You can't buy it nearby, and you can't take care of it!"
Baiyun's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this would never happen. Her mother-in-law wouldn't agree!
But it was evening, it was ten o'clock, and Tongtong still received a call. It was from Baiyun. Her voice sounded very tired, "I thought about it, and I still think that buying a house is not an option."
Well! They won’t sell it here, and they won’t buy it with money there. It’s just reasonable!
Bai Yun said, "Do you think this will work? I'll rent a garage that has been renovated in the community and ask your grandma to move here. If you can spare time tomorrow, come and see the place first, and then come back with me to advise you.
Grandma."
A converted garage?
"Okay!" Tongtong agreed, "About eight o'clock. I'll wait for you downstairs around eight o'clock."
good!
Early the next morning I saw Bai Yun, who had dark circles under his eyes. "There are two types of basements and garages, but there are still steps in the basement. Then the only choice is the garage! The person I made an appointment with last night, her garage was originally meant for her."
My mother-in-law lives there. Her mother-in-law was paralyzed, so the garage was remodeled to make it easier to get in and out. As you can see, it has everything. Now that her mother-in-law has gone to recuperate, this place is freed up. Fortunately, I said
Be early, otherwise you won’t be able to rent it.”
Open the garage door, and you will find a space of about twenty square meters. The kitchen is open in a large room, with a one-and-a-half-meter-long counter and cabinets below, which is enough. Opposite is the bathroom, washbasin, and toilet separated by frosted glass.
, shower and everything are available. Next, there is a small sofa and coffee table, and a small TV opposite. Further inside, there is a wardrobe and a custom-made bunk bed.
If you think about it, you will know that the patient is sleeping in the lower bunk, and the caregiver was originally living in the upper bunk.
Tongtong sighed: "I'm going to embarrass you."
Baiyun's nose felt sour and he almost shed tears.
Tongtong said, "This way... when my grandma moves in, the apartment in the family home can be rented out. With this little money to subsidize, you can hire a night escort for grandma. Don't do anything, just live here.
, if there is another emergency at night, someone can know it."
Bai Yun's tears really came down. The child knew that his mother-in-law was dissatisfied with him for subsidizing his parents' family, so he was trying to save money for himself. But if he did this, "You won't even have a place to stay during your vacation."
"Don't I still have my brother? I live with him." So, please don't bother me if you have nothing to do. After all, I don't even have a place to stay here with you.
