71. Caring

"My uncle is busy with work and doesn't have time to come." Ning Xueqing replied.

"Then ...... him"

"Wenwen, it's time for us to go home, we still have to do our homework at noon." Gu Feiyang hurriedly interjected and said to Ning Xueqing: "I'll take the child to catch the bus first, goodbye, Miss Ning." ”

"Goodbye." Ning Xueqing said.

Pulling Yue Wenwen, who was a little reluctant, Gu Feiyang walked towards the bus stop.

When she arrived at the station, Ning Xueqing happened to pass by with Tangtang.

"Goodbye, Aunt Gu!" Sugar Candy waved goodbye.

"Goodbye Sugar."

Looking at the mother and daughter talking and laughing in the electric car, Gu Feiyang was very envious in her heart.

Once upon a time, she also had such a happy time, but unfortunately, it was completely destroyed by a car accident.

Yue Wenwen was also looking at the direction her little friend left, and after a while, she gently pulled the corner of Gu Feiyang's clothes.

"What's wrong?" Gu Feiyang lowered his head and asked.

"Mom......" Yue Wenwen asked with some loss, "Is Uncle Li really never coming again?" He said he wanted to make me braised chicken, but he hasn't done it yet. ”

Gu Feiyang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Uncle is not here, but my mother can learn how to do it, and I will cook it for you when the time comes." ”

"Don't! What you make is not as delicious as Uncle Li's! Yue Wenwen turned her head and looked very angry.

Gu Feiyang was helpless in her heart, but she didn't want to reprimand her daughter for this, and she didn't give her a complete childhood, which was a dereliction of duty as a mother.

When the bus arrived, the driver honked his horn to warn.

Before getting into the car, Gu Feiyang took one last look in that direction, sighed again, and took her daughter into the car.

In the evening, after Huo Bufan got off work, he was busy making sweet and sour fish in the kitchen, and Ning Xueqing had just finished checking Tangtang's homework when she received a call from her mother Deng Junmei.

"How's it going?" Deng Junmei first cared about life issues, especially whether Huo Bufan maintained good changes.

Ning Xueqing naturally picked something nice to say, of course, this is also the truth.

From marriage to the present, there has never been a time when she feels better than now.

Hearing that her daughter was indeed in a good mood, Deng Junmei was also relieved.

"You're not going to call me to ask about this, are you?" Ning Xueqing asked.

"Yes and no." Deng Junmei asked: "Is the house on Hongyuan Road going to be demolished recently?" ”

"Well, the expropriation notice just issued has not been measured yet, how do you know?" Ning Xueqing asked.

"The old guy next door said that he has a house on your side, and he said that it will be demolished soon." Deng Junmei said: "It just so happens that his son Hu Jianxin seems to be working in the company responsible for developing the community. Everyone's neighbors for many years, old nonsense, when the time comes, let his son help you get a better number, and go to pick a house first. In the past few days, you and Li Shuheng have come to their house, invite them to have a meal, and stuff two cigarettes to be polite. ”

"But Shuhuan said that he didn't plan to restore the house, he wanted to take the demolition money and buy it somewhere else." Ning Xueqing said.

"Huh? Don't restore the house? Where does he want to buy it? Deng Junmei asked.

"It seems to be the northwest side, I don't know very well." Ning Xueqing said.

When he was about demolition before, Huo Bufan chatted with her for a few words, but he didn't say it too clearly. In addition, Ning Xueqing didn't particularly care about where she lived, so she didn't ask much.

"Northwest? In such a remote place, how far away is it from Tangtang to go to school! Deng Junmei suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked: "Is it because you have to make up the difference, you can't take out so much money?" If you are short of money, tell your mother......"

"It's really not a lack of money, Shuhuan gave out a bonus some time ago, with sixty or seventy thousand. I also saved 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, but it really can't work, and we can take out a loan. ”

"What a loan! It's been so many years to save this money, what does Li Shuheng eat! Ning Guoxiang's voice suddenly sounded on the phone: "Okay, this matter is settled, bring Tangtang back on the weekend, and invite Lao Hu and their family to dinner by the way." Don't worry about money, with me and your mother, it's a big deal to let that poor boy take advantage of it! ”

"Hey, hey, I'm not done yet......"

"What is there to say, hang up!"

Deng Junmei and Ning Guoxiang's voices vaguely alternated, and then the phone was hung up.

Ning Xueqing smiled bitterly, Dad's temper really hasn't changed at all, but as he gets older, he seems to be getting more and more irritable.

Huo Bufan came out of the kitchen with sweet and sour fish and bouncing sugar candy, and when he saw her holding her mobile phone in a daze, he asked, "What's wrong?" Whose phone number? ”

"Parents' ......" Ning Xueqing pondered the words for a while, and then said: "Parents said that the children of the neighbor Lao Hu's family work in a real estate company, and they can help us get a higher number when the time comes, so that it is convenient to pick a house." He asked us to bring Tangtang back on the weekend and invite Lao Hu's family to dinner by the way. ”

Regarding money, Ning Xueqing didn't say anything, feeling that this kind of thing was more likely to hurt her self-esteem.

The husband has indeed changed a lot now, but it is also true that the family does not have much spare money.

If it weren't for the tens of thousands of yuan bonus given by Mr. Huang of the factory, it would only be 20,000 yuan that Ning Xueqing squeezed out of between her teeth.

In this era when 100 yuan is spent casually, only 20,000 yuan can't solve anything at all.

"Didn't you tell them not to restore the house?" Huo Bufan asked.

"I said it, but my parents think that the northwest is too remote, not as good as the old city, and a little farther away from Tangtang's school......"

Huo Bufan thought about it, then laughed and said, "Mom and Dad are quite concerned about us, so let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it when we go back to the weekend." ”

"But you don't want to ......"

"The care of the elderly, you can't refuse. The conflict of ideas can be adjusted. Besides, since they are neighbors, even if they don't let people help, it's normal to have a meal to deepen the neighborhood relationship. Huo Bufan said.

Ning Xueqing was somewhat moved in her heart, she could see that Huo Bufan really didn't plan to restore the house, but he didn't want to be serious with his parents because of this incident.

No matter where he bought the house in the end, at least what he is doing now is still very warm.

Ning Xueqing, who was much more relaxed in her heart, came over and picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and then put it on Huo Bufan's mouth, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are so good at talking, please eat fish as a reward." ”

A rare family warm move, Huo Bufan did not refuse, anyway, he just fed it with chopsticks.

As for Ning Guoxiang's thoughts, Huo Bufan also thought very clearly.

It is difficult for the elderly to see the future trend, and if you explain it to them, they may not understand it.

With Ning Guoxiang's temper and preconceived notions, he is really in a hurry, and the work that he has done so hard in front of him is afraid that it will be in vain.

Rather than making the family relationship worse because of this incident, it is better to go with the flow.

Just a house, in Huo Bufan's opinion, is nothing, I want to go to the northwest to buy it, purely because I think there is more room for appreciation.

Even if you can't buy it now, it doesn't hurt.

But if you can use this thing to ease the relationship between the two sides, it is still more worthwhile.

On Sunday, Tangtang was jumping on the bed early in the morning, pulling Ning Xueqing, who was a little tired from working until twelve o'clock every day, and shouted: "Mom, Mom, get up quickly, the sun is drying your butt!" ”

Ning Xueqing was noisy by her, and was about to get up, but Huo Bufan held her shoulder.

Afterwards, Huo Bufan picked up Tangtang and said, "Mom needs to rest, Dad will take you to brush your teeth, and eat poached eggs or cheese bread for a while?" ”

"Can I eat cheese bread with poached eggs? The sweet kind? ”

"Absolutely."

The father and daughter said as they walked towards the bathroom.

Ning Xueqing lay on the bed, half-squinting at the two of them, the sleepiness gradually disappeared, and only a warm sense of warmth flowed in her heart.

After washing and eating, the family of three cleaned up and took a taxi to the fruit store.

Seeing Huo Bufan again, Ning Guoxiang's attitude was still very cold, and he had no intention of saying hello at all. On the contrary, Deng Junmei's attitude was much better, and she took the initiative to say something to Huo Bufan.

In the past few days, the fresh cold chain car of Hongyuan fruit store has delivered fresh fruits on time every day, and people nearby know that Ningjia fruit store has purchased goods from Hongyuan fruit store at a high price, and the price has not increased.

Both regular customers and new customers like to run here now.

In Gu Haiyang's shop, business gradually became cold, and he was angry and grinded his teeth here every day, but there was nothing he could do.

I can't also learn from Ning Guoxiang to go to Hongyuan Fruit Store to buy goods, it makes no sense to make money at a loss.
