42. The care of the old couple of the Liao family
Wang Fang came downstairs, heard the greeting, and saw her daughter, son-in-law and little nephews, and responded with a smile: "Hey, hey, Changde is here."
While opening his mouth to greet him, he came to the hall, and under Liao Yumei's introduction, he had another greeting with Li Shijie.
When everyone was seated, she led her daughter to the kitchen at the back of the hall.
When she came to the kitchen, Liao Yumei was talking to Wang Fang while helping her mother boil water to make tea.
"Mother, what about my brother, sister-in-law and little nephews? Why aren't you at home?"
Wang Fang was rummaging through the cupboard for hospitality at the moment, and when she heard her daughter's inquiry, she replied.
"Your brother and sister-in-law took the children to the street, and seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, I asked them to buy some New Year's goods."
Wang Fang replied, the movements of his hands did not stop.
First, from the innermost drawer of the cupboard, he took out a bag of treasured tea leaves, then took out two plates from the cupboard, opened the small cabinet door next to the cupboard, and took out two tin biscuit buckets from inside.
After opening the biscuit cone, Wang Fang reached inside, took out fried peanuts from a biscuit bucket and put them on the plate, and then grabbed a handful of Jiangmi candy from another biscuit bucket and put it on the plate.
Liao Yumei watched her mother fiddling, and she reached into the plate, grabbed a small handful of peanuts and peeled them to eat.
Only when the daughter returns to her parents' house will this little sex leak out unconsciously, not to mention that the daughter marries into the Chen family, which is not the right family, presumably the child is not comfortable in the Chen family.
Yes, when Wang Fang saw her daughter's small action, she didn't say anything, but grabbed a large handful of fried peanuts from the biscuit bucket to make up for it.
When Liao Yumei saw it, she hurriedly hugged Wang Fang and murmured, "It's still my mother's best!"
Wang Fang wiped her hands on her apron, then stretched out her hand and nodded Liao Yumei's forehead angrily.
He said dotingly: "You! It's the mother of two children, and she's still coquettish, and I'm not afraid of the children laughing at you. ”
When Liao Yumei heard this, she was not annoyed, but she still happily hugged Wang Fang and coquettish: "Well, no matter how old I am, I am my mother's daughter, hehe, shouldn't I be coquettish with my own mother?"
Wang Fang shook her head when she heard this, and didn't say anything, while the water was still not boiling, Wang Fang asked her daughter: "Why did you remember to go back to your parents' house today, what's the matter?"
After receiving her mother's question, Liao Yumei was not ambiguous, put the peanuts in her hand on the table, and hugged her mother's arm and talked carefully.
"Mother, there's really something. It's like this......"
Liao Yumei told Wang Fang about her intention to help Li Shijie find a house.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Li Shijie had rejected her son-in-law's kindness and did not live in their bungalow in the French Concession, she nodded with satisfaction and praised.
"Well, this Li Shijie is a person who understands etiquette, looks like a decent person, and he doesn't like to take advantage!"
Listening to her mother's evaluation, Liao Yumei also nodded and said approvingly.
"Yes, that's right. I also saw that Changde's friend was a good person, so I took this idle business. And mother, I married Changde, and Song'er Jia'er was born in the full moon, and this time I met, Li Shijie gave me a heavy gift, and I was a little ashamed. ”
Mrs. Wang understood the meaning of her daughter's words, reached out and patted her daughter's hand and said: "Well, since this is the case, then we have to pay attention to this matter of helping to find a house, and in the future, we will also treat him as a serious relative, and be kind to their father and daughter, and have dealings!"
"Well, listen to my mother!"
Woowoo......
At this time, the water was boiling, and there was a sound of water boiling in the iron kettle, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the kettle and make tea.
There is boiling water from the tiger stove in the thermos, but this good tea does not need to be brewed with boiling water, which is a bad practice.
Only then did Mrs. Wang personally boil water to make tea for guests, in order to show her importance to her son-in-law and Li Shijie.
The brewed tea, along with two fruit plates, was placed in a wooden tray, Liao Yumei brought it out to entertain guests, and Mrs. Wang walked behind her daughter and followed.
After Liao Yumei put the tea and fruit saucer on it, the mother and daughter stepped aside and found a chair to sit down.
At this time, Liao Chengmin, Chen Changde and Li Shijie, the three of them were also chatting about the house.
Listening to Li Shijie's request for the house, Mrs. Wang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and interjected unconsciously.
"Huh? Old man, the house of the former Long family meets the requirements of the nephew of the Li family, and the nephew of the Li family lives in our alley with his children, so let's make some Buddhas for them. ”
When Liao Chengmin heard his wife say this, he also thought of the Long family on the right side of his house, and muttered in his mouth.
"The Long family's house is good, but the problem is that people don't rent it, they only sell it!"
Chen Changde and Li Shijie listened, but before the two of them said anything, Liao Yumei asked anxiously.
"Father, mother, how could Uncle Long's family sell the house? Their family is just that one house, where will they live if they sell it?"
When Mrs. Wang heard her daughter's question, she sighed and replied, "Alas! It's also a creator of iniquity......"
It turns out that this Long family is also an old resident in Fushun, but of the four children in the family, only the eldest is a son, and for the only son, the elders in the family must be eccentric and pampered.
As a result, this pampering habit made the child grow crooked.
Just a few days ago, this kid didn't study well either, and went to school to fight on the street.
The result was good, and he killed a little Ah Fei by mistake, and the family was also a little powerful, so he arrested the only son of the Long family, bit him to death, and asked the Long family to take ten small yellow croakers to exchange for his son.
Although the Long family has a small amount of savings, they can't take out so much gold all of a sudden!
In the end, it was still a lot worse to get together, and there was no choice but to sell the house.
When Li Shijie heard that this was such a thing, he thought about it, he and his daughter must be settling in Shanghai, as for Jinzhou, now that the form is so chaotic, he doesn't know when he will be able to go back.
Since he can't rent a house, if the other party's house can meet his requirements, he can buy it.
Thinking so, Li Shijie asked Mrs. Wang out loud: "Auntie, the kid wants to ask, how is the Long family's house and what is the layout?"
Mrs. Wang listened to Li Shijie's questioning, thinking about what her daughter had just said in the kitchen, and knew that this person was not bad for money, so she introduced the Long family's house to Li Shijie.
"Li nephew, this Long family's house is smaller than the one we live in now, the pattern is the same, the first floor is the hall, the left is the stairs upstairs, the stairs are downstairs, the door on the right leads to the backyard, the Long family is better than ours, his backyard has two points of land! It's very convenient to dry clothes and quilts, and there are two rooms on the second floor, one large and one small, and your father and daughter are just enough to live!"
Mrs. Wang was very interested and introduced the layout of the house to Li Shijie.
The reason why she is so enthusiastic is that she really wants the people in front of her to buy the house of the Long family, after all, the house of the Long family is really good, because it is sold urgently, and the price is not high.
In this way, she not only helped the Li nephew find a house that he wanted, but also helped the old neighbor solve the urgent need, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
