Chapter 219: Cohabitation
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.
There are two such babies in He Tian's house.
Things went very smoothly, and in the old man's "persuasion" and "deep affection", Xia's mother finally nodded and agreed to let Xia Jie go out to rent a house.
Not only that, at the suggestion of the old man, Xia Mu also agreed to take time to accompany Grandma He Tian to the square for morning exercise every morning.
Xia Jie was so shocked that her jaw almost fell to the ground, looking at the stars in the old man's eyes, and was deeply impressed by the old man's mouth cannon skills.
He Tian and Wang Shouyi and the others were not so naΓ―ve, but they did not pierce Xia Mu's careful thoughts.
In a few words, I wanted to do the ideological work of Xia Mu, which was a daydream, and I thought beautifully.
Xia Mu was able to nod, maybe she really listened to some of the old man's reasoning, but it was absolutely limited.
The people of the world are bustling, all for profit, and all for profit, and Xia Mu can't escape a good word.
Most of the super-standard preferential treatment she enjoys now is due to the old man opening his mouth, but if the old man can give it, he will naturally be able to get it back.
If you want to give it out, it will be much easier to take it back.
Xia Mu has been a lazy worm and a rice worm for so many years, laziness has been carved into her bones, and it is too difficult and too difficult for her to work or accept the decline in her quality of life.
He Tian can see this clearly, and the old man can also see it clearly, so the old man is so tough in front of Xia Mu.
To deal with people like Xia Mu, the softer her attitude, the more she has to make inches.
He Tian has no opinion on the old man's approach, liking Xia Jie does not mean that he wants to please Xia's mother.
It is really harder to let him change the mind of a person like Xia Mu than to let him earn a small goal or break a few old eucalyptus.
It's almost the age of half a foot into the coffin, how can He Tian, an outsider, change Xia Mu's deep-rooted thoughts and change her lazy and hard-working character.
......
"Xiaojie, look at this house, do you like it?"
"Uh-huh, I love it, thank you grandpa!"
"Hahaha if you like it! This house is far away from our house, and I haven't been to it for many years. Only when He Tian occasionally stays up late in the office and can't get home, he will come over and squint for a while.
I look at this quite clean, but I'll contact a door-to-door cleaner later, and clean up the inside and out, and you can move here with confidence. β
"That's too much trouble! Grandpa, it's good for me to come by myself, I usually do it at home, I'm used to it, there's no need to waste that money. β
"Hahahaha, I like your girl's character, and I will live! But ah, this matter is up to grandpa, let grandpa be the master once. You're different now than before, you're so busy at work, don't tire yourself out. Don't think that you are invincible in your youth, many old problems are caused by a little accumulation at your age. β
β... Well, that's good, grandpa, I'll listen to you. But I'll pay for it myself! β
He Tian leaned against the door, watching the young and old in the room chatting hotly, and suddenly felt that he was an outsider.
The old man was an acute character when he was young, and he didn't see restraint when he was old, he was still so anxious, Xia's mother only agreed to let Xia Jie move out and rent a house yesterday, and the old man was waiting in the teahouse outside the police station today, and when Xia Jie got off work, he pulled her to the house.
This is a two-bedroom apartment, nearly 80 square meters, the area is not large, the decoration is also very simple, but from the inside to the outside are full of design beauty, the living room from time to time can see some ingenious design, or some interesting decoration, people look quite happy.
This house was bought by the old man many years ago for the convenience of work, and later moved to the side where He Tian lives now after retirement, where the environment is better and the supporting facilities are more perfect.
After He Tian was transferred to the Balihe Police Station, he redesigned the house by himself, and found a familiar decorator to renovate the old house, which is what it looks like now.
When Xia Jie said that she wanted to rent a house, the old man thought of it for the first time.
"By the way, grandpa, I haven't asked yet, how much is the rent?" Xia Jie looked at the room, her face couldn't stop being happy, and her words were full of relief and freedom.
She felt like a bird out of her cage, and she wanted to go back tonight and pack up her things and move in, away from the home that suffocated her.
It's not that she's not filial, it's just that she's also a person, and she's been short of oxygen for a long time in a depressing environment, and it's human nature to have the pursuit of fresh oxygen.
"You can talk to He Tian about this rent, I have already transferred this house to him." The old man touched his beard and smiled.
Source change appγ
He can't look down on the rent, and the retirement salary of the two elders is not low, and there is no shortage of money to spend, but he didn't directly say that the rent was exempted.
He Tian and Xia Jie are not officially together, at most there is a sign, he can see it very clearly, Xia Jie, this girl looks weak and delicate, but she has her own arrogance and persistence in her heart, and free accommodation will make this child feel burdened.
"Good grandson, tell me about you as a master, how many apprentices are you going to take?"
He Tian, who had been neglected for a long time, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You said so, master and apprentice, then you have to get a discount, just get 20% off." There is a similar apartment next door that is also rented out. I asked when I chatted before, the rent is 4000 a month, and the 80% discount is 3200. Xia Jie, it's enough for you to rent only one room, then it's half, 1600. β
He Tian thinks the same as the old man, the rent is discounted at most, and normal rent collection will make Xia Jie more acceptable.
It's a big deal that he collects rent with his left hand, and buys and buys with his right hand, and buys Xia Jie some delicious food and drink or daily necessities to subsidize her.
Of course, you have to cherish your own apprentices.
Xia Jie breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was really afraid that He Tian would say it was free, so she hurriedly nodded and agreed: "No problem!" Don't worry, Master, I will love this place as if it were my home! β
"Well, that's right, Xiaojie, you said it really well. You can rest assured that you can live here, treat this place as your home, and if you have any problems, you can always find grandpa, and you can also find him. β
It's better not to think about it, it's better to live in it until it really becomes your own home.
The door of the He family will always be open for you!
The old man smiled, as if he was hallucinating, and saw He Tian and Xia Jie holding hands and bringing his cute little grandson and granddaughter to see him.
Two little chubby dolls circled around him, laughing and shouting "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!"
After explaining the matter of the house, the old man refused He Tian's proposal to drive back, stopped a taxi at the gate of the community, and left in the eyes of the two.
When he left, he was still in a hurry, and he knew at a glance that the old man was in a hurry to go home to share today's information with his grandmother.
After sending the old man away, He Tian accompanied Xia Jie back upstairs, took a spare key that had been prepared for her a long time ago, and then told her how to use some equipment at home, and the placement of some gadgets such as remote controls.
Finally, he pointed to the two rooms and said: "This is the master bedroom, with a separate bathroom, far away from the street, much quieter." This is the second bedroom, except that there is no independent bathroom, the area is about the same as the master bedroom, but the orientation of the room is better than the master bedroom, that is, it is close to the road, it will be noisy. You can pick whichever you like. β
Xia Jie's eyebrows were twisted together, she had visited both rooms just now, and they both liked them very much, each had its own good, and she felt that her choice was difficult.
He Tian was not in a hurry, he stood quietly beside him, condescendingly admiring the little apprentice's expression.
A few minutes passed, and Xia Jie made up her mind, pointed to the second bedroom and said, "Master, I'll choose this one!" β
He Tian identified several keys in his hand and handed one of them to Xia Jie: "What you gave you just now is the key to the door, and this is the key to the second bedroom, you keep it." β
Xia Jie put away the key, and her eyes suddenly fell on the other keys in He Tian's hand, stared at it for a while, and then turned her head to look at the master bedroom, staring at it for nearly a minute, before stammering: "Master.... And this room.... It's...."
He Tian threw up the key in his hand, caught it with two fingers, raised the key and said, "Of course I lived." Why, do you dislike sharing a house with Master? β
"It's not! Of course.... Not anymore... It is.... A bit unexpected. Xia Jie was so anxious that her face turned red, like a ripe red tomato, which made people feel the urge to pinch it.
"No, let's live well. Alright, let's go, I'll take you home. Aunt Cleaning should be over during the day tomorrow, and you can move in tomorrow night. Do you have a lot of stuff? If it's too much, I'll drive over and help you. β
"No more, no more!" Xia Jie waved her hand again and again, she was so nervous that she felt like she was about to run out of breath.
She and Master, this is living together?!
Isn't that a little too fast!
