Seeing that her mother had finished the phone call, Tongtong approached her slyly: "Mom, who are you talking to on the phone?"
"Little brat, you have a lot to worry about." Luo Xiyun bent down and tried hard to pick her up from the ground. He put his hands under her armpits and lifted her above her head: "Tongtong, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
."
"No matter, if you don't tell me, I'll tell dad to go ahead." Tongtong chuckled. She thought it was quite fun. Her chubby calves kicked up and down in the air, but she didn't forget to be firm.
own position.
Luo Xiyun rolled his eyes and threatened her: "If you talk nonsense again, I will throw you out."
Tongtong stuck out her tongue and sprayed saliva, and said, "Mom, please let me down, or I'll call you daddy."
Just when Xia Zekai came out after washing the dishes, he heard Tongtong calling him, so he asked her: "Tongtong, what's wrong?"
"Dad, mom said she was going to throw me out, and she was on the phone with someone else. If she didn't tell me, you throw her out." Tongtong saw her father and became bolder, so she started to complain.
Luo Xiyun pushed her into Xia Zekai's arms, slapped her on the butt and said, "Tongtong, you really deserve a spanking."
"Dad, look, mom beat me." This time there was evidence, and Tongtong immediately looked at his dad, looking aggrieved.
Xia Zekai looked at Tongtong frowning, his eyelids narrowed to a slit, with a very aggrieved look on his face. He felt distressed, and used Huang Yaoshi's famous skill of splitting the air, and shot his wife from the air in a very fake way.
He slapped Tongtong and said, "Look, dad has already avenged you."
Tongtong turned his head and looked at Xia Zekai sideways at a 45-degree angle: "Dad, do you think I'm stupid? You didn't hit me at all."
"Pfft!" Luo Xiyun couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing on the spot.
Xia Zekai also laughed and leaned back and forth. He was afraid that if he lost his balance and fell his daughter, he put Tongtong down first and then asked his wife what was going on. Luo Xiyun told him that his mother Liu Chunhua was coming tomorrow.
Hearing her mother say that it was grandma who was here, Tongtong continued: "It's grandma who is coming. Mom, didn't you tell me earlier? Didn't grandma say you would bring me something delicious?"
Luo Xiyun annoyed her and said to her: "You go and play while I talk to your dad about business!"
"What I said is serious!" Tongtong lost his temper and glared at her mother.
Xia Zekai quickly took her aside: "Tongtong, you go play with your sister. Dad will play games with you later."
Tongtong then went to play with her sister.
Xia Zekai asked his wife: "Why is our mother here?"
"By car, you have to find time to pick her up at the station tomorrow. I'll go to the company tomorrow, take another half-day of annual leave, and be back at noon." Luo Xiyun calculated.
"Then don't forget to call Xincheng back." Xia Zekai reminded her and asked, "I'm not busy at home anymore."
"I don't know either. My mother just called and said that their factory has stopped working and has a few days off. I didn't ask for details."
Luo Xiyun continued: "She said she had never seen our new house and wanted to take this opportunity to come and have a look."
"Okay, I'll pick you up at the station tomorrow." Xia Zekai agreed.
The girl suddenly said: "Dad, I have to pick up grandma tomorrow."
"What are you doing, making trouble? You two go to school tomorrow and I will pick you up early in the afternoon to play with grandma." Xia Zekai waved his hand and refused directly.
As soon as she left, Tongtong followed her, and the two girls went to cause trouble.
Dad didn't agree, and the girl was still a little unhappy. She stopped playing games and sulked with her little head hanging down.
…
Early the next morning, Xia Zekai took the reluctant girl and Tongtong to the kindergarten. After dropping them off, Xia Zekai didn't go to the factory. He went directly to the farmer's market to buy some of the freshest beef and mutton.
, I went to the mutton seller and bought some fresh mutton bones that had just been slaughtered and picked out, and then bought some black pork chops.
His mother-in-law was allergic to seafood and her body became swollen and itchy after eating it, so Xia Zekai didn't buy those things.
After everything was done, he bought some fresh vegetables and took them home. When his wife called him, he said that his mother-in-law Liu Chunhua took the train at 9:30 in the morning and it would take almost four hours to get to the station. Xia Zekai calculated
, in this case, it would be 1:30 in the afternoon to reach Qicheng Station. Ziyu Garden Community is very close to the new station, about ten minutes away, and it would not be too late for him to go there at noon.
In this case, wash the beef and mutton in advance and cook it first, so that you can have lunch when the people arrive.
The beef was cut into small pieces and simmered first, then stewed with potatoes. The old lady liked this.
The mutton is ready. Use a relatively deep aluminum pot to boil the mutton bones and make soup. Then cut the meat into large pieces and stew it in the pot. Simmer over low heat. Add a little bit of aniseed and other seasonings.
No need to add any more, just stew it like this. When it's cooked, take out the meat and slice it into slices. Keep the mutton bone soup simmered over low heat. It's just the right time to drink pure mutton soup without any additives.
It was not yet half past twelve when Luo Xiyun came back with his younger brother Luo Xincheng.
Xia Zekai happened to have just come down from upstairs and was going to the station to meet his wife and brother-in-law.
"You haven't gone yet." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai pointed to the upstairs and said, "I just finished the beef, mutton and black pork chops. We can eat directly when we bring our mother back later."
"Brother-in-law, you made so many delicious food." Luo Xincheng muttered.
Xia Zekai smiled and said, "I've made a lot. You can eat more later."
"Go quickly, otherwise you'll arrive early again." Luo Xiyun reminded him.
Luo Xincheng also wants to go with us, so we can go together.
About ten minutes away.
After arriving at the place, Xia Zekai drove directly into the station parking area. When he went over to ask, he found out that the Yicheng car had not arrived yet.
"Xincheng, call me and ask where you are." Xia Zekai said.
"Okay!" Luo Xincheng responded, took out his Lenovo 3G mobile phone and dialed.
Not even a minute passed before Luo Xincheng hung up the phone and said, "Brother-in-law, my mother talked about the flour mill."
"It's almost there, just wait." Xia Zekai estimated in his mind that he would be here in twenty minutes at most.
It took a while longer than he expected, probably because there was a traffic jam on the road. More than twenty minutes later, a dilapidated bus pulled into the station.
Luo Xincheng pointed to the car and said, "Brother-in-law, that's from Yicheng."
"Let's go!" Xia Zekai stepped over.
Through the car glass, Xia Zekai saw his mother-in-law. She was not yet sixty, and her hair was almost completely white, which was particularly conspicuous.
When she saw her son-in-law and son, she still nagged: "Why are you all taking a break? Just ask Xincheng to come pick me up."
"Mom, let's go quickly, my sister is still waiting at home." Luo Xincheng said.
"You have a lot of things to do. Why don't you let her wait? I will still be in trouble for her." The old lady glared at her son.
Xia Zekai smoothed things over: "Mom, is there anything else? If not, let's go."
"Yes, there is a yellow urea bag at the bottom." Liu Chunhua said.
After saying that, she saw that her son was still standing aside and didn't move. She became angry and said, "Xincheng, hurry up and get it."
Xia Zekai had already bent down to unpack the storage compartment under the bus. There was only one yellow urea bag, which was easy to find. Xia Zekai stretched out his hand and pulled it out.
Luo Xincheng quickly joined hands and carried him to the parking place together.
It was less than two o'clock when we returned to the community.
It was Liu Chunhua's first time coming to Ziyu Garden, and she was very curious about this new community.
Looking at the layout of the entire community below, I asked, "Isn't this community cheap?"
When taking the elevator, she added: "There is an elevator here, so you have to pay a lot of money."
"It's okay." Xia Zekai responded.
After the elevator stopped on the 16th floor, Luo Xiyun was already waiting at the elevator entrance. After seeing her mother, she couldn't help but come up and hugged the old lady's arm: "Mom, hurry up and sit in the room."
After all, they are two mothers.
The old lady entered the house and looked around every room. She looked very carefully. She also went to the house opposite to look at it and said, "My dear, it is so beautifully decorated and has such a large area. How much did it cost?"
"Total..." Luo Xiyun was about to speak, but Xia Zekai rushed to say: "I don't spend much. When I mainly bought a house, it was cheaper here, only more than two thousand yuan per square meter. But now it's no longer possible. It has risen to almost four thousand yuan."
Already."
"It's increased so much? I remember you bought it in July last year, right? It doubled in one year?" Liu Chunhua was frightened.
She quickly asked: "Xincheng, how much is your monthly salary now?"
She is worried that if this continues, will her son be able to afford a house?
If you can't buy a house, how can you get married?
Luo Xincheng said: "Mom, my salary has been raised again. I can get 3,000 yuan a month. Our leader has said that I will be promoted. After I get promoted, I can get several hundred more yuan."
"So, if you don't eat or drink for a month, you can buy one square meter. When will you be able to afford a house?" The old lady was worried.
Luo Xiyun glanced at her angrily and said quickly: "Mom, you can't settle the accounts like you. Besides, you can also choose a loan. Our house was also bought with a loan. Besides, the houses in the west are more expensive, and the houses in the east, north and south are more expensive."
The house is cheap, it’s still 2,566 now, but it will be hard to say in a few years.”
At this point, she said again: "Mom, I think it's better to use the money you and my dad saved to make a down payment for Xincheng and buy a house first."
"Let him repay the loan every month, and he won't lose his entire month's salary." Luo Xiyun said.
When she came up with the idea, Luo Xincheng kept winking at her, thinking that this sister was too deceptive!
Xia Zekai thought his wife's idea was a good one.
If it's not enough, it won't matter if he helps a little more.
The old lady really took it seriously this time. She asked, "How much is the down payment?"
Luo Xiyun said: "If you buy it in the north or east, it is more expensive. It only costs 2,780 yuan per square meter. To buy a 120-square-meter large three-bedroom apartment, the down payment is 30% less than 100,000 yuan. Your savings are almost enough.
Bar."
This is my biological sister! She specializes in cheating on younger brothers!
If you become ruthless, you will even cheat your own mother.
