Chen Xinzhi paused for a moment and asked, "Did you buy your wedding house in the suburbs?"
I remember you bought a single-family villa, right?"
"yes!"
Zheng Duoduo was a little embarrassed: "I have bought a few apartments, but they are all in newly developed communities. The supporting facilities nearby are not good enough. It is convenient to get in and out, but there are few restaurants for eating and drinking.
I am busy, and so is Xiao Tong, so we have no time to prepare three meals a day.
So now I am still hesitating whether to move back to Ronghua Mall, where I can enjoy my mother’s cooking in the morning and evening, and spend some time with the elderly.”
Chen Xinzhi thought for a while and reminded: "You can hire part-time workers or nannies to stay at home.
You like living with your mother, but your significant other may not like it.
You have to discuss this with Xiao Tong clearly."
"Little Tong also likes our mother very much."
Zheng Duoduo explained: "However, the suite over there is not big, unless there are two suites connected like Sister Ling and others, and the other suite is opposite.
As you know, Xiao Tong and I both love children, and we plan to have four, five or six children in the future.
When the time comes and the children are included, there will definitely not be enough room to live in.”
Chen Xinzhi chuckled: "Thinking far enough."
"Can you not think about it?"
Zheng Duoduo chuckled and said, "You have to look forward to the future, otherwise you won't have the motivation to work!"
Chen Xinzhi said quietly: "My mother is very familiar with the husband and wife. I plan to bring her over to live with us when Xiaoxin and I get married."
"Isn't it?"
Zheng Duoduo muttered: "Then what should I do?
We also want to live with mom!"
There is only one mother, but two sons.
When we add the two daughters-in-law, we will have two small families.
Chen Xinzhi was not worried and said: "You get married first, and then mom will live with you both.
If she can get along with Xiao Tong, then she will stay with you.
If it's not good, then I'll take her to live with us.
Xiaoxin and her are as close as mother and daughter, so I don't have to worry at all.
Then you can share one month with us, or maybe half a month."
"no!"
Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this, "It's not good for the elderly to move around like this.
And I feel worried about my mother after not seeing her for a few days, so ten and a half months is definitely not enough."
Chen Xinzhi chuckled: "Why is this so difficult?
You might as well go and ask around to see if anyone wants to change hands in the courtyard area or villa area behind Xinyuan.
It's best to live next door to me. Then it doesn't matter where mom lives, and I can see her whenever I want.
Anyway, Xiao Tong and Xiao Xin get along well, so there’s no need to worry about the disagreements between the sisters-in-law and other troubles."
Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly and laughed: "Brother, your suggestion is really difficult! The courtyard houses and villas over there are so expensive! A set can easily cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. How do you want me to pay for it?"
A large courtyard house costs at least one to two hundred million, and I will die from blood loss!"
"Are you short of money?"
Chen Xinzhi asked calmly: "If you don't have enough on hand, I'll lend it to you.
You'll pay it back when you have more money. If you don't want to pay it back, that's fine, I'll just buy it for you."
Although they have no blood relationship, they are the closest relatives.
They both have a common mother and a common home.
Zheng Duoduo was moved and laughed, explaining: "I really don't have that much money on hand.
Sister Ling gave me shares. The dividends and salary I received before were basically used to buy villas and suites, and there was not much left.
In addition, I have to save a sum of money as a bride price for Xiao Tong.
It was not easy for her father-in-law and mother-in-law to give birth to her and raise her for more than 20 years. I married a beautiful girl all at once, and I had to give them a decent bride price to make them happy and give them their daughter with confidence.
Give me."
Chen Xinzhi said very cheerfully: "Okay, then you save money for the wedding.
I will find someone to help you look for a house near Xinyuan, preferably near my courtyard house.
I'm not short of money, I'll just pay it, consider it my wedding gift to you."
ah?
!! Zheng Duoduo immediately shouted: "No, no, no! No way! It's too expensive! You have to pay for it!"
Chen Xinzhi didn't care at all and said quietly: "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be so generous.
But you are one of my own family, so there is no need to be polite to me.
If you feel embarrassed, just help me spend more time with mom when I'm not free in the future."
"do not!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled and said: "It's what you should do to accompany your mother.
Even if you don't mention it, I will definitely be filial to my mother.
To be honest, the house over there is too expensive and I can't afford it for the time being.
My annual salary is just over one million yuan a year, and with dividends it’s just over one million yuan.
I still have a mortgage to pay off, and this house is too much beyond my means."
Chen Xinzhi understood what he meant and said: "In that case, then buy the small villa on the side.
It only takes a few minutes to walk around.
Mom likes to ride a small bicycle, and it only takes two or three minutes to come and go.
Let's go there to have a meal, or you can come here to have a meal together. It only takes a few words to drive, so it's very convenient.
In the future, when the elderly get older, it will be more convenient for us to take care of them nearby."
"right."
Zheng Duoduo agreed: "It's more convenient to live together.
Then it’s decided, you will help me buy a small villa first, and I will pay you back when I have enough money.”
"Are you sure you don't want me to deliver it?"
Chen Xinzhi did not force it, and said readily: "Then I will buy you a car.
You are going to have a brood of children after you get married, so change your car to a larger one, which will make it easier to get in and out."
Zheng Duoduo smiled happily when he heard this and stopped being polite to him.
"That's great! Remember to make it spacious!"
Chen Xinzhi agreed and said resolutely: "I'll ask people to inquire about nearby small villas or courtyards later."
"Thank you!"
Zheng Duoduo thanked him and hung up the call.
He drove back to his villa on the outskirts of the city, turned on the heater and boiled hot water. After washing, he found that Xiao Tong still hadn't come back.
He lay lazily on the sofa, picking up a magazine and reading through it.
At this time, the phone rang! He picked up the phone, slightly surprised.
"What happened to Mom today?
I usually go to bed on time at nine o'clock..." During lunch break, he would always video chat with Zhu Achun for a few minutes. At other times, he was either not free or both of them were busy and couldn't spare any time to chat.
He slid over to answer the call and shouted with a smile: "Mom, you don't have insomnia, do you?"
It’s almost eleven o’clock!”
Unexpectedly, there was a noisy sound from the other end of the phone.
——Duoduo! Duoduo! There was a fire on the 19th floor of the mall. I... I was evacuated and brought down by the firefighters.
I don’t know what’s going on at home?
I was very worried! Zheng Duoduo felt nervous and quickly asked: "Mom, are you okay?
You weren’t burned or smoked or anything, right?”
——No! I was already downstairs, and the firefighter said I couldn’t stay, so I... I grabbed my phone and put on my down jacket... There were a lot of things at home, but I couldn’t get them down.
This fire looks quite big, I wonder if it will burn our house.
Zheng Duoduo immediately stood up and ran to the cloakroom in a panic.
"Mom! Don't go upstairs! You are downstairs, right?
Don’t go upstairs! I’ll be there right away! Remember! You must not go upstairs! Nothing is more important than your health and safety! Just wait for me! I’ll be there right away!”
