Anyway, since his daughter is not leaving, he has a lot of time to cultivate a relationship with the other party and let the other party slowly accept him as an incompetent old father. He will not force anything else.

"There's one more thing... I have to find another place to rent a house, otherwise it would be unreasonable to live here all the time. It would disturb my in-laws too much! Baozhu, I still have some money here. Let's see if it's enough to use in your store. Can you rent a small house nearby?"

As Zhang Yuping spoke, she took out a handkerchief bag from her pocket, which contained all the money she had saved so far.

"Didn't I say you don't need to rent! Just go home and live!"

As soon as I heard that the other party was going to rent an apartment, I quit immediately.

"You don't need to rent. Speaking of the house, I just wanted to discuss it with you. Cheng Yu and I actually bought a house before. It has been almost decorated. It is now drying to let out the smell. Grandpa and I have also discussed it. If you don't mind later, you, Xiaoxue and Grandpa will go live there first, and I will leave the palace from there. Then, can you, Grandpa and Xiaoxue send me out together?"

"I...shall I take you out?"

Just imagining that scene, Zhang Yuping felt like she could cry with happiness.

Over the years, every time when she couldn't survive, she would think that she still had two children who needed her, and she had to grit her teeth and hold on. She thought, she didn't earn much, but the little she saved was worth it. Maybe one day, It would be enough if she could ask for forgiveness from her eldest daughter and hand over the "dowry" she had saved for her with her own hands.

How dare she imagine that now she not only made the other person forgive her, but also personally sent him to get married...

"You don't want to?"

"Of course I do! I do!"

Zhang Yuping quickly shook her head and firmly expressed her attitude.

"That's it... how about we go over and check out the house later?"

While the iron was hot, Xia Baozhu simply invited the other party to come over to view the house. It happened that there seemed to be appliances and furniture to be delivered today, so she went over to take a look.

"Sure! I'll help you clean up the house! I'm very strong and I know how to clean up the house!"

Zhang Yuping, who has new goals, no longer talks about going back. She is very motivated and plans to help her daughter sort out her "new house".

"Then I'll go over with you and have a look."

Mr. Liu immediately expressed that he wanted to go there together to see what was missing. He, the quasi-grandfather, could also help buy some.

"Okay! I'm going to change my clothes and call my grandpa!"

As soon as he left, Xia Baozhu moved very quickly. He finished washing up and led Mr. Xia downstairs in less than two seconds.

"I'll go with you too."

Huo Chengyu also stood up and wanted to accompany him. Others didn't think so, but Xia Baozhu felt something was wrong.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when a few elders were chatting in front, he deliberately took a step slowly, walked to the other party, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with you? Aren't you being punished and suspended from work?"

Huo Chengyu:......

"How is that possible? I just thought that I have a lot of things going on at home recently, so I would like to stay home and spend more time with you."

Huo Chengyu had an upright face, and there really wasn't much that could be seen on that unchanging iceberg face.

"Really? Didn't lie to me?"

Xia Baozhu frowned, always feeling that this matter was not as calm as what the other party said.

She knew that the nature of the other party's work was special, and it was definitely normal to spend less time together and more time away from each other. It was abnormal to see each other at home every three days like now...

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon...

She felt that Huo Chengyu was not telling the truth.

"Of course it's true...what are you thinking about? We're going to have a drink soon. Wouldn't it be nice for the boss to give me a few more days off to spend more time with you?"

Huo Chengyu stretched out his hand and pinched his wife's soft and waxy cheeks expressionlessly, expressing some grievances.

Given another leave?

How can it be?

Xia Baozhu listened to the other party's words without showing any emotion on her face, but she was muttering in her heart.

Either he had other arrangements at work, or he was deliberately hiding from someone...

In short, Huo Chengyu must be hiding something from him.

"Baozhu, this is the small courtyard you bought? Not bad! This location was chosen well, you have a good vision!"

While she was thinking about it, Mr. Liu had already begun to visit the yard she had purchased.

"Everything has been repaired so well...it wasn't like this when I came back last time..."

Mr. Xia was filled with joy when he looked at the yard in front of him. Everything here was so similar to the yard in Daqing Village, even the citron tree in the corner, the rack of climbing grapes, and a small flower bed...

Everywhere is kind and lovely.

"You used to love sitting under the citron tree and drinking tea..."

Zhang Yuping looked at this familiar little courtyard with a bit of nostalgia in her eyes.

In the two years after she first married into the Xia family, the old man had not yet been driven away to reform elsewhere, and Xia Jianguo had not yet become what he would become later.

At that time, she also left a warm memory in that yard...

Later, they moved from the old courtyard to a new house in the middle of the village, and then Wang Jinfeng appeared...

The past cannot be recalled, Zhang Yuping sighed and brought his thoughts back to reality.

"From now on, you and grandpa can have tea together. And in this kitchen, I specially left an earthen stove and a gas stove. We can use whichever one we want in the future!"

"This is good! This is good!"

For housewives, the kitchen is an important position!

Seeing the familiar earthen stove and the advanced gas stove, Zhang Yuping couldn't help but nod.

With these tools, she can do her job more easily.

Xia Baozhu led everyone to see the living room and kitchen, and then led them to the two south-facing rooms, "This is the big room for grandpa to live in. I also installed a toilet in it, so you don't have to go out to use the toilet in the winter. Mom, you live next door. There are two rooms in your room, just right for you and Xiaoxue, and there is also a toilet in it. Later, I will lead Xiaoxue to pick out a desk and bookcase, and we will be ready."

"Wow! It's so big! Sister, can I really live in a room by myself?"

Liu Xiaoxue has never seen such a spacious and bright house since she was born, let alone lived in it!

The north-facing utility room she used to live in Liu's house was filled with firewood and other unnecessary things. Her bed was just put together with a few bricks and two wooden boards on top.

Later, I followed my mother out and slept in bed for the first time.

Now that she could have such a room that was completely her own, it was like a dream to her.

"Of course. Not only do we have a house, we also have heating. You see, we also have earthworms installed in our house. When winter comes, we will burn the earthworms so that our hands won't freeze when we do homework!"

Xia Baozhu rubbed the little guy's head and introduced patiently.

The little guy's eyes were bright, full of trust and expectation.
