Chapter one hundred and sixty fourth

When he heard that his third son was going to take them to Donggang, Xu Chenghou's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head.

"No, the big house is nice. Your mother and I will retire here and we won't go anywhere."

Xu Shiyan couldn't help but roll his eyes, this was his stubborn old man, his tough-talking father.

Even though I was very happy in my heart, I still had to be tough and try to save face and suffer the consequences.

"If you don't go, I will take my mother away." Xu Shiyan deliberately angered his father.

"You dare?" When Xu Chenghou heard this, he immediately stared, is that okay?

He can't even cook. Without his old wife, how can he starve to death?

Xu Shiyan ignored the stubborn old man and went into the east room and sat next to his mother.

"Mom, I'm here to discuss something with you. Do you think you and your dad can move to Donggang?"

Zhou Guilan was in the room and had long heard the conversation between the two men.

Knowing that her third son was going to pick them up, Zhou Guilan was happy from the bottom of her heart, but she still had a lot of worries, so she didn't nod directly, but looked at Xu Chenghou.

"San'er, why did you come back so well to pick us up and take us to Donggang?"

Zhou Guilan can't be like her husband, opening her mouth to criticize others. Xu Chenghou can't speak, so she has to speak well.

"It's nothing. Didn't I hear from my second brother that they have all moved away? I'm a little worried about you two staying in the big house.

It's too far away from us, and this end is so bad, you said it would be quite troublesome for us to come back."

Xu Shiyan knew that if he wanted his parents to move out, he had to talk to his mother about it first.

"What are you worried about? Your mother and I are not too old to move yet, so we don't need to worry about you.

We are living a good life, I don’t have you bothering me around, it’s quiet.”

Before Zhou Guilan could say anything, Xu Chenghou sat on the edge of the kang, picked up his pipe, smoked it, and hummed.

"We two old guys are living a good life, and we are not so depressed that we have to seek refuge with you.

Don't think about anything, just watch your ginseng on the mountain, don't lose your errand, that's better than anything else."

The old man used the strongest tone and spoke words of concern, he was such an awkward person.

Xu Shiyan took a deep breath and resisted the urge to quarrel with the old man. Who told him to fall in love with such a father?

No matter what happens, even if my father can’t take it, my mother still has to take it.

He didn't hesitate to argue with that stubborn old man, and he had already become accustomed to his virtue after two lifetimes.

"Mom, do you think this is okay? You guys move over first and live at my place.

Didn’t I go up the mountain to see some ginseng? I only have Lao Liu and Ying Zi at home. To be honest, I don’t feel at ease. If you go over and keep company with them, at least I can feel at ease on the mountain.”

Xu Shiyan didn't even look at his father, so he told his mother. Of course, these words were actually meant for his father.

"The hukou will be registered for you alone, not with me.

After the New Year, I will go to the team to approve a homestead for you two and build a few houses in the spring.

The fifth child hasn't married yet, and the sixth child hasn't left home yet, so I can't let them hold a wedding at my place, right?"

Xu Shiyan could actually understand the old man's thoughts. The old man must be worried that if they moved there, it would be equivalent to defecting to his third son.

In the future, with the third son, what will be the arrangements for the fifth son and the old daughter?

No matter how bad the big house is, this is Xu Chenghou's home, and he is the master of it.

My son and my daughter are not married yet. For them, the old man must stay.

How can a younger brother or sister hold a wedding event at his brother's house? There is no such rule.

"If you two are willing, you can find a place a little closer to my home, so that my mother can help take care of Yuanyuan when she is free.

Otherwise, I would not be at home during this spring and autumn, and Yingzi would be too busy outside the home."

Finally, Xu Shiyan used his last resort and moved his son out.

It is absolutely true to say that children of the next generation should kiss children of the next generation. In the previous life, the old man did not like to see Xu Shiyan, but he was very rare for the three children in the family.

Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan looked at each other. In fact, they had already been tempted, but they were too worried to agree.

But the son has already talked about it. If they take Qiao again, it will be a bit too much.

"Didn't you tell me earlier to coax the child? You said a lot of nonsense, but this sentence is the most useful."

Xu Chenghou got off the donkey along the slope and nodded in agreement.

"Old lady, let's move somewhere and coax our grandson to go?"

Who among the older people doesn’t like the excitement?

Especially the Xu family, who had always been with their children and grandchildren, suddenly moved away, the old couple felt extremely empty, otherwise Xu Chenghou would not have gotten angry at home.

Zhou Guilan had long wanted to agree, but because of her husband's face, he had to nod first.

Seeing her husband's attitude change now, Zhou Guilan also laughed.

"Why not? I've had enough of this place for a long time. Besides, I also miss Yuanyuan.

Is that little guy able to crawl on the bed now? It must be so much fun."

Xu Shiyan scratched his head, "I've been on the mountain for a while, and I really don't know if he can climb. It should be almost done.

When I came down from the mountain today, I went home and had my hair cut. I told Yingzi and I didn’t even hold the child, so I came by car.”

To be honest, Xu Shiyan is also thinking about his son, but there is nothing he can do. Making money is important. If he doesn't make money, how can he support his wife and children?

Not only that the child was fine, but once they mentioned it, the old couple lost their composure. They were both thinking about the baby.

The three people discussed it and decided that the river was not really frozen at this time, so moving would not be easy.

Why don't the old couple go to Donggang first, help with the children and take care of the house, wait for a while, and the river freezes, and then come back and move.

At that time, it was time for the team to divide their money. After dividing the money, they opened a household registration and moved directly to leave. They stopped playing here.

Xu Shiyan thought it was a good idea to deal with it this way. At least it would give the two elders some time to adapt.

If the two of them really don't feel comfortable going to Donggang, then there's nothing they can do, just send them back.

It shouldn't be the case. Su Anying got along well with her parents-in-law in her previous life, so it's unlikely that she will get along too badly in this life.

Anyway, it’s only winter, and when spring comes, the couple will definitely find another house.

Xu Shiyan can make do with anything else, but on this point, he must persist.

After all, his parents raised him once, and it is natural to take care of him, but he must be clearly divided and cannot be mixed together.

It was already this time, and there was probably no train back, so Xu Shiyan could only stay at home for one night.

Zhou Guilan hurriedly went to prepare the food. After the meal, the three of them started to pack their things.

When the old couple went there, they still had to bring their luggage and a change of clothes, etc., so there was a lot of stuff.

The next morning, Xu Chenghou went to find his neighbor and asked him to come over and help him burn the kang every day.

Originally, at the beginning of spring, the family caught two pigs, but then there was a frost and the crops in the field did not grow well. Xu Chenghou was worried that there was not enough food, so he sold them to others.

There were only two chickens left at home, so I just put them in my pocket and took them away.

Then, the three of them set out with their luggage, clothes and other things on their backpacks, from Qingling to Zhuzhuigang, and then took the local train from Zhuzhuanggang to Songjiang River.
