Li Xu was relieved, âMother, Iâll have to trouble you then. If you want to go out, wait for Zixuan to come home at noon or at night and go out with him. I put a thousand yuan in the cabinet at the entrance. Donât be reluctant to use it.â
Wang Yuechu and Ji Zixuan looked at each other and smiled, âAlright, alright. I wonât go anywhere for the next few days. Iâll just stay at home, cook, and watch TV. Iâm also free.â
Zhang Kun saw this and quickly pulled her away, âLetâs go, letâs go. If we donât leave now, itâll be too late. We have an appointment to see a house in the afternoon.â
Only then did Li Xu turn around and leave.
They were going there this time mainly to buy a house. The schedule was still a little tight. Li Miao made an appointment for them at two oâclock in the afternoon.
Therefore, they had to leave early in the morning, or they would not be able to make it in the afternoon.
After Li Xu and Zhang Kun left, Ji Zixuan went to class after checking the gas.
Although the classes in the cram school were also very intense, it was still relatively easy compared to the school.
At the very least, he didnât have to go so early in the morning, and he didnât have to study past nine at night.
Zhang Kun and the others set off at around eight oâclock and arrived at noon.
Li Miao and Gong Wenbai picked them up at the highway entrance and brought the family of four to eat first.
The appointment was at two oâclock in the afternoon, so they didnât dare to stay any longer after lunch and went straight to the house.
They were looking at a second-hand house next to B University.
âI heard that there are many teachers and professors from B University living in this neighborhood. The houses are in high demand.â Gong Wenbai introduced.
The few of them entered the neighborhood. Li Xu was a little speechless, âThis house is quite old.â
âItâs because the house is old, thatâs why itâs so cheap.â Gong Wenbai laughed. âThereâs a new residential area nearby, and the price is much higher than here.â
Although Li Xu did not have much money on hand, she still felt a little disgusted.
When Gong Wenbai saw this, he comforted her, âThereâs no hurry. Li Miao and I have seen more than ten houses. There are pre-sold houses, existing houses, second-hand houses, new residential areas, and old residential areas. We go to this neighborhood mainly because there are many professors from B University living here. Letâs take a look first.â
Li Miao held Li Xuâs arm and advised, âYes, Sis, thereâs no hurry! Itâs the National Day holiday. Stay here for two more days. Weâll look around and find something that youâre satisfied with.â
âSorry to trouble you and Xiao Gong,â Zhang Kun said with a smile. âXiao Gong is so busy, yet he still came with us to look at houses!â
âWhat is he busy with? No matter how busy he is, he had to take good care of Sister and Brother-in-law!â Li Miao said with a smile.
âYes, Miaomiao is right!â Xiao Gong nodded.
âBy the way, how is Sister-in-law recently? Is she feeling better?â Li Miao chatted with Li Xu about family matters again.
Meng Xiaoning was now six months pregnant. When Li Miao left home, Meng Xiaoningâs pregnancy reaction was still very serious.
Every day, she almost vomited out her bile. Li Miao was afraid just looking at it.
âMuch better. Itâs already six months.â Li Xu also went home a while ago. Meng Xiaoning was in a good condition now.
âI think Sister-in-law is quite anxious. Sheâs probably under pressure.â Li Miao said in a low voice, âGo and see her more often later. Tell our parents too. Be careful when they speak.â
Li Miao was also someone who was about to get married. She could actually understand Meng Xiaoningâs mentality.
People in the countryside would more or less prefer sons over daughters.
Meng Xiaoningâs first child was a girl, and her Second Sister-in-lawâs first child was a son. She definitely wanted to have a son this time.
âI understand.â Li Xu nodded. âYou donât have to tell me!â
As they were talking, a group of people had already arrived at the landlordâs house.
The house was on the second floor. Gong Wenbai and Li Miao had been here before, so they were familiar with the place.
Gong Wenbai knocked on the door.
Soon, a white-haired old man opened the door.
The old man looked quite refined and spoke very politely, âPlease come in!â
The layout of the house was not bad. All three rooms faced south.
After chatting for a while, the grandpa revealed the reason for selling the house.
He was a professor at B University. Now that his family was planning to immigrate, he wanted to deal with all his assets in the country.
Li Xu could not help but chat with the old professor for a while when she thought about Ji Zixuanâs college entrance examination next year.
Which major in B University was better?
Although she didnât like the house, Li Xu did learn from the old professor.
After coming out of this house, Gong Wenbai and Li Miao brought the family to see an unfinished house and a new house.
After looking at the rooms, the few of them were extremely tired.
Especially Zhang Kun, who had been driving for the whole morning and then the whole afternoon.
He was so tired that he wanted to go back to the hotel to lie down after dinner.
âWhy go to a hotel? Itâs a waste of money and itâs not comfortable. You can bring Brother-in-law and the children to stay at our place.â Li Miao suggested.
Because Li Miaoâs name was on the certificate, she was very firm in her words now.
âYouâre not sensible. How can you let others live in the wedding house as they please? You havenât even started living there yet! Itâs quite good for us to stay in a hotel. We only booked two rooms. Itâs not a waste.â Li Xu said unhappily.
Seeing this, Li Miao muttered in a low voice, âWeâre not those old antiques who pay attention to these and those. Weâre all family. We can do whateverâs convenient for us.â
Gong Wenbai also tried to persuade her, âHow can staying in a hotel be more comfortable than staying at home? You guys should stay here. Miaomiao can still talk to you guys at night.â
Li Xu insisted, âA custom is a custom. Thereâs no need to say anything else. Weâll stay in a hotel.â
After saying that, she waved her hand, âItâs not like we havenât been here before. You guys go ahead with your work. You donât have to follow us.â
Li Miao still wanted to say something, but Ji Yuanyuan yawned, âIâm so tired. I want to sleep now.â
âLetâs go to the hotel now.â Li Xu held Ji Yuanyuanâs head.
âAlright, alright, letâs go back.â Zhang Kun waved at Li Miao and Gong Wenbai and led a few people to the parking lot.
âForget it,â Gong Wenbai comforted her. âSister and Brother-in-law probably wonât feel comfortable staying there either.â
âOkay.â Li Miao replied and said in a murmur, âThen letâs go too.â
âBack to the dormitory? Or do you want to go shopping?â Gong Wenbai asked considerately.
Li Miao shook her head, âSend me back, and you should go back to rest early. You donât have to come over tomorrow. Just focus on your companyâs matters. Iâll bring them to see the house.â
Gong Wenbaiâs company was currently on the rise, and he was indeed very busy.
Therefore, after Li Miao finished speaking, Gong Wenbai did not refuse.
He thought for a moment and suggested, âThatâs fine. Iâll leave the car with you. You can take them to see it tomorrow.â
âNo need, no need. Iâm on tenterhooks driving your car. Iâm afraid that Iâll knock it down.â Li Miao quickly refused.
Although she had a driverâs license, she had not bought a car yet, so she was very unfamiliar with it.
Gong Wenbaiâs car was so expensive that she didnât dare to drive it..
