Xia Zekai was thinking about the job left behind in Qicheng. Gao Lina sent him a text message saying that it was 80% feasible and asked him to wait for news. She had been communicating with the landlord for the past two days.
This is a good thing!
Xia Zekai thought silently in his heart.
Looking at the dark sky outside, a feeling of sleepiness came over him, Xia Zekai lay down and fell asleep.
…
At this time, in Jincheng Garden, Luo Xincheng had just returned from working in the store. As soon as he entered the door, his mother Liu Chunhua asked him: "Xincheng, why are you back so late today? Are you still hungry?"
"Mom, I'm not hungry. Are Jingjing and Hongyu asleep?" Luo Xincheng came in and asked without seeing his wife and children.
Liu Chunhua nodded: "Hongyu feels a little uncomfortable today. He keeps coughing, so I went to bed early."
"Mom, it's quite late. You should go and rest." Luo Xincheng glanced at the pendulum on the wall. It was already past eleven o'clock.
"Well, you're not hungry. I left some porridge and some beef ribs." Liu Chunhua said.
But these things that he usually likes to eat can't arouse Luo Xincheng's appetite at all.
"You're not hungry, go and rest!"
He thought about what the landlord called him today and told him that the landlord planned to sell the two-story store, but the lease contract he had signed would not change, but the landlord would be the next one.
"I've just finished the decoration and I've spent all the money. Why is it so difficult to do something?" Luo Xincheng sat on the sofa, completely relaxed and lying on the back of the sofa.
Liu Chunhua could tell that her son had something on his mind, but she didn't understand the work of opening a store either.
"Xincheng, has something happened again?" Liu Chunhua still asked her son.
"Not enough money?"
"Mom, it's okay. You go and have a rest. I'll sit down for a while and then go to bed." Luo Xincheng said.
Hearing what her son said, Liu Chunhua said "Hey" and entered the bedroom.
"Didn't the landlord say he wouldn't sell it before? Why did he go back on his promise?" Luo Xincheng was puzzled.
That night, Luo Xincheng tossed and turned and had difficulty falling asleep.
He even dreamed in the middle of the night that he had just opened the store and was kicked out by the new landlord.
In the middle of the night, he sat up from the bed and raised his hand to touch it. His forehead was covered with sweat.
"If it doesn't work, I'll ask Manager Gao when it gets dark and ask her to help find out who it was sold to." Luo Xincheng thought to himself.
Fortunately, he came back too late last night and rested alone in the second bedroom for fear of disturbing his wife and children's sleep.
Otherwise, just because he suddenly sat up just now, his movement would have scared many people.
After finally waiting until dawn, Luo Xincheng heard something moving outside. He knew it was his mother getting up to make breakfast.
After a while, another child called outside the door: "Daddy, daddy!"
It was his son Luo Hongyu. Luo Xincheng quickly got dressed and got out of bed.
As soon as he opened the door, the little guy outside jumped on him: "Dad!"
"Hongyu, grandma said you have a cough? Is it a cold?" Luo Xincheng asked him.
He also put his hand on his son's forehead to test whether his body temperature was high. Fortunately, it was normal and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Hongyu shook his head: "I'm fine!"
While he was talking, he coughed twice. Luo Xincheng glanced at him angrily: "Have you taken your medicine?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy raised his hand and covered his mouth: "If you don't eat, it will be so bitter."
"You can get better quickly if you take medicine, otherwise you will have to get an injection in your butt," Luo Xincheng said.
Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Xincheng saw his wife: "Jingjing, Hongyu has a cold?"
"Well, I have a bit of a cold. I guess I haven't gotten used to the cold and hot." Hao Jing said.
After the time has entered September, it is still hot during the day, but the temperature drops at night. If you are not careful and do not change your clothes frequently, you will easily catch a cold.
"I heard from our mother that you came back very late last night. Didn't the decoration go smoothly?" Hao Jing asked him.
After saying that, he added: "I told my dad to arrange the decoration at that time. We didn't even have to pay him for the decoration. You have to be unwilling."
Her father, Hao Peng, is engaged in construction projects, including but not limited to house decoration.
Hao Jing was unhappy that her father married a stepmother after her mother passed away, but she thought there was nothing wrong with letting her father do some work for her.
Luo Xincheng waved his hand: "I'm almost busy with the decoration."
"Is that about the opening of the new store? The recruitment of employees is not going well? Or is there any procedure that is difficult to handle?" Hao Jing is not clueless now, she has also been working hard to improve over the years.
Luo Xincheng shook his head again and saw that his mother was still in the kitchen. He said, "Jingjing, it's about the house. Yesterday afternoon, the landlord called me and said he wanted to sell the house."
"And this matter, does the house rental contract still count?" Hao Jing stared when she heard this. She said, "If it doesn't count, I will ask my dad to take advantage of them. They are all quite capable."
"-_-||" Luo Xincheng couldn't laugh or cry. He said, "It's okay. The landlord also said that the lease contract is valid. I'm just worried that it will be difficult to communicate with the next landlord when I talk to him."
Hao Jing understood that her husband was too invested and was under too much pressure, for fear of something unexpected happening.
Just say to him: "Husband, aren't you worrying for nothing? Let's do it first and then talk about it. If something really happens, let's find a way to solve the problem!"
"Well, yes!" Luo Xincheng was convinced by his wife's words and felt that he was too cautious.
Hao Jing also said: "Didn't my brother-in-law ask Manager Gao to help find that house? You can ask Manager Gao to find out. After all, our lease contract is from them."
"I think so too!" Luo Xincheng said.
Hao Jing rolled her eyes at him and went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law make breakfast.
Luo Xincheng looked at the time. It was not yet seven o'clock. Manager Gao was probably sleeping at this time. He decided to call Gao Lina after eight o'clock to communicate.
After Liu Chunhua made breakfast, Hao Jing helped bring it over. The family was eating breakfast when Luo Xincheng's cell phone on the sofa rang.
Before he got up, Luo Hongyu, who was eating, raised his hand happily and said, "Dad, I'll get it, I'll get it!"
"Okay, go and get it for me." Luo Xincheng was not in a hurry to answer the phone.
Watching his son run to the sofa, he leaned over to take the phone, held it in both hands and handed it to Luo Xincheng: "Dad, here it is!"
"Hongyu is so smart. Whatever you want, dad will buy it for you." Luo Xincheng asked him.
Before his son could answer, his eyes fell on the phone screen and he realized it was a call from his brother-in-law. He quickly answered the call.
"Brother-in-law, good morning." Luo Xincheng greeted.
Then I heard Xia Zekai's voice coming from the mobile phone: "Xincheng, have you had breakfast?"
"I'm eating right now, brother-in-law, where are you?"
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Zekai suddenly said: "Xincheng, I bought the 700-square-meter two-story building you are renting now."
"Manager Gao just called me this morning and said that we have reached an agreement with the landlord. She will call you later to re-sign the sales contract."
"You don't have to worry about the money. It was given to you by my brother-in-law." Xia Zekai smiled heartily on the phone and said, "Both of your nieces have gone to school in the capital, and there are fewer of your sisters coming back. I
I've gone back after finishing my two days of work. Our mother is staying at your place, so you have to take good care of her."
"Also, please walk around with my eldest brother, second brother, and my younger brother more often, and get together from time to time. I won't be here often in the future, but we are not alone in Qicheng. If you have anything to do, just be brave and do it.
As long as you don't violate morals or laws, my brother-in-law will help you find out."
Xia Zekai was talking a lot at the moment, and Luo Xincheng couldn't get a word in, but listening to his brother-in-law telling him over and over again on the phone, teaching him how to do things, he felt an emotion in his heart, and almost couldn't hold back tears.
.
"Okay, I have to do something else. I've already transferred the money to Manager Gao. I won't go over after the house is transferred. Remember to treat Manager Gao to a meal." Xia Zekai finally said: "Multiple
There are many ways to make friends, and you may have to ask for help from others in the future.”
"Hey, brother-in-law, I understand everything!" Luo Xincheng choked up in the end.
Luo Hongyu also pointed at him and said: "Mom, look, dad is crying."
"Grandma, look, Diudiu!" The boy even scratched his little face with his fingers and yelled.
Hao Jing ignored him and hurriedly stood up and walked to her husband: "Xincheng, tell me what happened."
"That's it, Xincheng, what's wrong? Did something happen to your brother-in-law, or did something happen to your sister? Oh, I'm really worried." Liu Chunhua was also worried.
The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, and she was worried about everything.
Luo Hongyu found that no one, whether it was his mother or grandma, paid attention to him.
He was just standing on the side, watching them all alone around his father. It was so annoying!
Luo Xincheng calmed down and said, "Mom, Jingjing, my brother-in-law called me just now and said that he bought the second floor I'm renting now and gave it to me."
After hearing what he said, Hao Jing thought of what his husband had just said, and she instantly became cheerful.
"So, your brother-in-law bought that house and gave it to you?" Hao Jing asked.
Seeing her husband nodding, Hao Jing suddenly didn't know what to say.
Liu Chunhua asked in detail. This time she knew what her son was worried about after he came back last night. She couldn't help but said: "Hey, what does your brother-in-law spend so much money on?"
Luo Xincheng thought about what his brother-in-law just said, and continued: "Mom, my brother-in-law said that Yatou and Tongtong are studying in the capital. My sister will have less time to come back in the future. My brother-in-law will also go back to the capital in the past two days.
He's afraid that I can't take care of you."
"Child, tell me what all this is about!" Liu Chunhua's emotions were even stronger. She was a sentimental old lady and would cry when parting occasionally. Now she felt even more panicked.
"Then your brother-in-law hasn't left yet. Ask him if he has time to come home for a meal." Liu Chunhua quickly urged her son to ask.
Luo Xincheng said 'hmm' and slapped himself with his backhand: "Look at my stupid head, why did I forget to ask just now?"
