Chapter 312 The White Moonlight of the Surgeon General (15)
Gu Xijin moved the menu in front of Xu Yin, leaned slightly closer to her, and asked softly: "Are you hungry? Eat something first?"
“Fortunately, I ate a lot this morning.”
Having a big bowl of noodles with my grandpa!
Gu Xijin chuckled: "How to make a bowl of longevity noodles from one stick? The chef is very skilled!"
Xu Yin tilted her head and stared at him with a slightly pleading expression: "Want to eat? You can hire me to cook it for you on your birthday, with a 20% discount on the friendly price."
“Okay!” He agreed.
On the contrary, Xu Yin choked. This guy didn't play his cards according to the rules every time.
After finishing the meal, Grandpa Xu and Mr. Gu murmured and discussed a charter.
After returning home, Grandpa Xu took his granddaughter to the housing management office and transferred the ownership of the old house to her name.
Because the application was urgent, I got the real estate certificate in two days.
Looking down at the real estate certificate of the old house that Grandpa Xu regarded as his life, Xu Yin put away her mixed feelings and said solemnly:
“Grandpa, I will protect the old house.”
“Okay, okay.” Grandpa Xu nodded happily.
Xu Yin put the real estate certificate into the system warehouse. There is no safer and safer place than this.
The next day after she received the real estate certificate, Xu Dingguo, who was waiting for the old man to change his mind at the hotel, couldn't wait any longer.
“Let’s not take Jiabao out to play today. Let’s go back to the old house.” Xu Dingguo thought that it’s been three days and the old man should have calmed down. “Let Jiabao coax his grandfather.”
So the family came to Shijingfang Lane.
Chen Meijiao was just like Xu Yin at that time, her high heels got stuck in the gap between the stone slabs, but she didn't have Xu Yin's strength, so she pulled out a green onion and fell on a pile of hot dog shit.
She was so angry that she cried and cursed: "What a broken place! It should have been demolished long ago!"
"It's time to demolish it. It would be nice to build a bright high-rise building." The old lady is used to living in a large flat floor with central air conditioning, and she is not willing to move back to a small, cramped and stuffy courtyard.
When Grandpa Xu heard that it was them, he didn't even let Xu Yin open the door.
The old lady slapped the door frantically: "Old man! Open the door quickly! Stop making trouble! You are just a son, don't force him not to provide for you in old age!"
Grandpa Xu sat under the eaves and replied: "I don't need him to support me in old age."
"No need? You only have this son. If you don't need him, who else can you ask to support you?"
“I provide for grandpa in his old age.” Xu Yin came out carrying a teapot to pour tea for the old man, and added in passing.
"you!"
Not only did the old lady laugh angrily, but Chen Meijiao was also happy and said through the courtyard door:
"Yinyin, I'm afraid you don't know the meaning of caring for the elderly. As soon as this person gets old, all kinds of physical problems will appear. Going to the hospital will not only cost money, but also accompany him. If you have money, you can hire a caregiver. If you don't have money, you can hire a caregiver. You have to do it yourself. You are one year away from graduating from college, and you can’t support yourself, so how can you support your grandpa?”
After a pause, he said: "By the way, I discussed it with your father yesterday. Now that you are an adult, I heard that as long as you are admitted to graduate school, you will be able to earn money by working on projects with your tutor. Living expenses will not be paid for the time being. You. After all, your dad has to raise a big family by himself, which is quite hard. Your brother Jiabao will go to a private junior high school next semester. The tuition fee will be 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year, not including the cost of interest classes. The pressure on the family is really big. , you can understand, right? Anyway, your mother is still giving it to you?"
Meaning, if Xu Dingguo’s ex-wife has already cut off her living expenses, Xu Dingguo will not have to pay her any more.
"Okay. I actually keep track of the living expenses my dad has given me over the years. When he gets older in the future, I will pay alimony based on this amount."
Chen Meijiao's proud smile froze, and she was glared at by her husband. "Okay, let's talk about demolition. Why are you talking about this? Take your family treasures aside to play, and don't disturb us from talking about business!"
Chen Meijiao angrily took her son to the side and smelled the smell of dog feces on her back. She was so disgusted that she almost vomited out her overnight meal. She wouldn't want to visit this lousy place again.
Grandpa Xu shouted towards the courtyard gate: "There is no need to say anything. I will not agree to the demolition. The neighbors are willing to follow them, but don't think about asking me to persuade you. I still want this old face." "
“Old Xutou, which developer is coming to demolish the house?” Aunt Man Yue passed by and asked curiously when she heard this.
Xu Dingguo answered her diligently: "Aunt, it's Lan Di. Have you heard of Lan Di?"
“No, it sounds like a small developer, and the name is so petty.” Aunt Man Yue curled her lips and left without looking back.
Xu Dingguo: “…”
Neighbors expressed their opinions loudly across the courtyard wall:
“Lao Xu, don’t worry, we all agree! We’ve been used to it all our lives, let alone high-rise buildings with raised floors and lowered heads, even if it’s a house of gold or silver, we won’t change it!”
"What good will demolition do to us elderly people? For example, my cousin's old house was demolished last year. When his son and daughter-in-law took the money, they said it very nicely. When the old couple actually moved in with them, I look at my daughter-in-law’s face every day. I guess if our place is relocated, us old guys will end up like this. Our money will be gone and our house will be lost.”
“Yes! We want our own old house, and we won’t go anywhere! The developer is rich and amazing! We don’t want to sell it, so how can we force it to be sold based on our signature? Then I’ll sue them!”
Hearing this, Xu Dingguo was so angry that his face turned green.
The old lady couldn't see her son being wronged, so she kicked the courtyard door with a cruel heart: "Damn old man! Open the door for me!"
The big dog in the yard next door suddenly started barking "woof, woof, woof" and ran to the door dragging its chain, grinning at the Xu Dingguo family, as if it was about to break free of the chain and rush out at any moment.
Xu Jiabao was so frightened that he howled: "I'm afraid of dogs! I'm afraid of dogs! Leave quickly! I don't want to be here anymore!"
"Okay, okay, let's go! Damn old man! Just stay in this broken house! Don't think about us taking care of you in the future! No one will care about you even if you're in the hospital!"
The old lady cursed angrily and pulled her precious grandson out of the alley.
Xu Dingguo and his wife were each more miserable than the other: Chen Meijiao fell down earlier and got dog feces on her; Xu Dingguo was frightened by the big dog, sprained his foot, and limped away.
Seeing that Grandpa Xu was not in high spirits, Xu Yin squatted next to him and counted on her fingers: "Grandpa, I heard that orchids can be sold for a lot of money if you raise them well. I will raise a pot of orchids for you, which will be enough for your old age!"
Grandpa Xu then smiled: "You think orchids are so easy to grow? My wife, Mao, has been raising flowers and plants for so many years, but she says she can't raise orchids well."
“Look, my granddaughter has designated a pot for you.”
Grandpa Xu was happy and took the lung-nourishing tea she brewed to Gu's hometown. Xu Yin then returned to her room to read in peace.
The window was knocked several times.
She looked up and smiled.
"not going to work today?"
"Hmm." Gu Xijin handed in a box of ice cream through the window, "Take a rest."
“I remember that grandpa closed the courtyard door when he went out. How did you get in?” Xu Yin took the ice cream and went out in no hurry, leaning against the window to chat with him.
“Do you believe that you came in by climbing over the wall?”
…”
