Zheng Duoduo drove to the city in a panic. On the way, he called Chen Xinzhi's mobile phone.
Chen Xinzhi told him that he was already in the city and was about to reach Ronghua Mall.
Zheng Duoduo said quickly: "It's very cold outside. Please take mom to find a warm place to stay. I still have half an hour to get there."
Chen Xinzhi told him not to worry and asked him to drive well, then hung up.
Zheng Duoduo still couldn't help but worry and waited for a break at the red light to call Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong answered the call and said she would stay at Xinyuan tonight.
——Not long after you left, my aunt and uncle had a big fight, which scared me. Aunt Ling asked me to stay and coax my aunt, and we had a supper with her. Aunt Ling just received the call
I called the phone and hurried out. It seemed that something happened at Ronghua Mall.
Zheng Duoduo anxiously explained that there was a fire over there.
Xiao Tong was shocked and quickly asked her future mother-in-law if her situation was stable.
Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but sulked and said: "My mother is fine, but she was evacuated while she was sleeping, and she didn't know if she was warm enough. She said that the virus might spread to the house, which made me anxious - I really wanted to race a car.
Rush back! Damn it! It’s already midnight, why are there so many cars on the road!”
——Calm down! Auntie, she has already evacuated downstairs, so you don’t have to worry. As long as there is no one at home, it doesn’t matter even if the fire spreads. You drive well and don’t have any accidents. If you are even slightly injured, Auntie
It will be very distressing. You don’t want her to worry, right? You don’t want me to worry, right?
Zheng Duoduo took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
"Xiao Tong, our wedding house should not be in the suburbs. I plan to listen to Tie Tou and buy a small courtyard or a small villa near Xinyuan. Although they are second-hand houses, we can renovate them. It is relatively close to the city.
The closer you are to your relatives, the easier it will be to take care of each other. My mother is getting older every year, so we’d better not live too far away from the elderly.”
Xiao Tong laughed bitterly when he heard it, saying that he still had a mortgage in his name that had not been paid off, so how could he afford another small courtyard house.
——The houses here are super expensive! The most expensive and luxurious area in the entire imperial capital is here. One square meter is enough for me to earn for a long time!
Zheng Duoduo had already made up his mind and said: "Tietou said he would lend me money first and then pay him back when I have more money. One or two hundred million is not a difficult thing for him and he can give it to me soon.
I'll use it. Even if he doesn't help, the worst I can do is sell the two houses or suburban villas I have on hand, and then slowly pay off the mortgage. You don't have to worry about financial problems."
Hearing his firm tone, Xiao Tong knew that there was no need to persuade him.
——Okay, I don’t have any objections to having a luxury house to live in. My current salary is not high, and I can’t help with either the down payment or the mortgage. If it’s a mortgage, I should be able to help with it the year after next.
Zheng Duoduo smiled fondly and said: "No, I still have this ability. Houses in the Imperial Capital can maintain their value, so try not to sell the ones you have already bought. Tietou will help pay for it in full, and I will pay him back slowly later.
We only have one mother, he wants a mother, and I want a mother, so we can only live together and share, otherwise we have to fight."
Xiao Tong was secretly moved after hearing this, and whispered: "Auntie will understand your filial piety."
Zheng Duoduoli said: "Okay, then it's decided. I'm driving, so I won't talk for the time being. After I settle down with my mother, I will just go back to the company office to sleep so as not to be too busy tomorrow morning. You should also rest early, over there
It's very convenient to take a car, I won't pick you up tomorrow."
——Wait! When you are sure that Auntie is safe, send me a message to put my mind at ease.
Zheng Duoduo answered, then hung up and drove seriously.
There is never a shortage of traffic jams in the Imperial Capital, and it was already forty minutes before we arrived near Ronghua Mall.
Zheng Duoduo parked the car and quickly called Chen Xinzhi while looking at the situation upstairs.
The fire upstairs had just been brought under control. There was no obvious fire, and only a small wisp of black smoke remained. There were still firefighters spraying water in the air, and there was a lot of chaos and noise downstairs.
After a while, Chen Xinzhi finally answered.
——My mother and I are in the cafe across the street. She is a little cold, so I will take her to drink something warm. You come here first, and I will take my mother back to the courtyard to rest later.
Zheng Duoduo answered hurriedly, turned around and ran to the coffee shop opposite.
Three minutes later, he arrived out of breath.
I saw Chen Xinzhi and Zhu Achun sitting opposite each other in the corner of the coffee shop, talking quietly.
"Mom!" Zheng Duoduo walked forward quickly and shouted: "Mom!"
He used to call Zhu Achun "Auntie" for several years. Until Tietou disappeared, he started to learn to call "Mom". Later, he kept shouting and shouting, and the word was burned into his heart and blood.
"Duoduo!" Zhu Achun stood up in a hurry, his eyes were red, with tears still stained at the corners, and his hair was slightly messy, "Duoduo... the house... may have been spread and burned."
Zheng Duoduo rushed forward, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.
"Mom! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Just be fine! No matter you are burning or not, just be fine!"
Zhu Achun cried softly: "Your father's photo...and the photo of you and Tietou...the certificates and other awards you won...I didn't even have time to get them."
Zheng Duoduo's eyes were slightly red and he patted her back.
"Mom, it doesn't matter. We'll go back and look for it when the situation upstairs stabilizes. It doesn't matter even if it's gone. They're all old photos, so why keep them?"
Zhu Achun cried softly, blaming herself for being in a hurry and not having time to pack important things.
Zheng Duoduo kept comforting her and saying it was okay.
Chen Xinzhi on the side couldn't help being slightly stunned when he saw this.
Both he and his mother are calm and self-possessed, and they rarely get such close hugs, but Duoduo is obviously more experienced than himself, and his level of coaxing his mother is much better than his own.
Until Zheng Duoduo waved: "Tietou! Let's take mom to buy some daily necessities and a few sets of clothes and sweaters first. Later, you take mom to stay in the courtyard. I'll stay here and I'll have to go up and take a look when I can go up later.
.”
Chen Xinzhi came back to his senses and nodded slightly.
Zheng Duoduo hugged Zhu Achun's arm, took out a tissue to wipe her tears, and coaxed softly: "Mom, let's go buy something first. Don't worry, I'll go check everything at home and I'll give you the news later. Now.
The higher ups will definitely not let you in, so you can go and rest with Tietou first. Sister Ling is already here, I will discuss it carefully with her and make sure it is safe before I go up to check."
"Yeah." Zhu Achun choked, "You have to be careful."
Zheng Duoduo smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I will listen to you."
Chen Xinzhi looked at their backs leaning against each other, pursed his lips and smiled softly.
