Chapter 475: Journey to Haizhou
Sure enough, as Geng Wenyang expected, Gan Rui called early the next morning and asked their family to hurry to Haizhou. After breakfast, Geng Wenyang and Gan Ruolan took their children on the highway to Haizhou.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Geng Wenyang's family hurried to Gu Peiteng's house in Haizhou University's teacher's dormitory.
Gan Rui didn't even care if she had eaten or not after seeing her daughter, and immediately pulled her to complain: "Xiao Shi's mother is so disrespectful, she asked for 30,000 yuan before she was willing to leave, it's like a lion opening her mouth and being insatiable."
Gan Rui is worthy of being a professor in the Chinese department, and even the words he says have idioms. Gan Ruolan had to persuade, "Mom, isn't it a good thing that she is willing to ask for money? It's better than coming to the house!"
Shi Zhiqiao heard her mother-in-law openly complain to her sister-in-law about her mother's greed, and her face was completely dull, and she couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart: "Mother-in-law is not her own mother after all, and she is still separated by a layer of heart!"
Geng Wenyang led the child over and said, "Xiao Shi, are you okay?"
Shi Zhiqiao's heart warmed, she almost burst into tears, and thought to herself: "When I came back, my husband and mother-in-law only cared about whether my mother was gone, and they didn't ask me how I was doing. I never thought that Geng Wenyang would think about me, how could the gap between people and people be so big?"
"I'm fine." She suppressed her feelings and thanked, "Thank you so much for bothering you to go all the way!"
Geng Wenyang asked quietly, "Xiao Shi, have you discussed this money for your mother with your eldest brother?"
"Humph!" Shi Zhiqiao said disdainfully: "What do I discuss with him with my own money? He can't do anything but complain, so it's better not to ask him."
Geng Wenyang knew that with Shi Zhiqiao's income, it was not too much pressure to give her mother 30,000 yuan. It's just that Gan Rui has always liked to interfere in her son's private life, and she is afraid that she will have an opinion on her daughter-in-law giving her mother 30,000 yuan at once.
Geng Wenyang wanted to remind Shi Zhiqiao to pay attention to the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back. With Shi Zhiqiao's vision and knowledge, he naturally knows how to curry favor with and deal with Gan Rui, and he can't gossip with an outsider, so as not to ask for trouble.
As a mother's words, the girl's family drove thousands of miles away. Even if Gan Rui was troublesome, Gu Bingming insisted that he had to leave Geng Wenyang's family for dinner.
After hastily eating dinner, Geng Wenyang glanced at his wife, and Gan Ruolan thoughtfully found an excuse to find a hotel to stay in and left Gu Peiteng's house.
After going downstairs, Gan Ruolan hurriedly asked, "Wen Yang, where are we going to stay?"
"Find a clean hotel." Geng Wenyang said: "He is a tourist city, and there are many star-rated hotels, so if it doesn't work, we will find a five-star hotel to live in." new
"Then let's go to the Haizhou Hotel, shall we?" Gan Ruolan said: "It's right on the seaside, and it's a five-star hotel, so it should be a good environment."
"Good! Let's go to the Haizhou Hotel!" Geng Wenyang generously agreed: "Zhuang Zhuang has never lived in a five-star hotel, so this time I will give him a long insight."
Haizhou Hotel is located next to the First Bathing Beach, and the location is excellent. No other high-rise buildings have been built around it, so although the main building is only a dozen stories high, it is the tallest building in the neighborhood. Standing upstairs and looking around, the view is extremely wide, and the surrounding scenery is clear at a glance.
Since May Day is the tourist season, most of the hotels and restaurants in Haizhou are fully booked. Geng Wenyang came to the front desk and asked, only the business suite on the top floor was still available, and the room fee was 888 yuan a night.
Gan Ruolan couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the house price of 888 yuan, and hurriedly said, "Wen Yang, it's too expensive! Let's look elsewhere."
"It's not expensive, stay!" Geng Wenyang took out a golden card from his pocket and said, "I have your VIP card here, can I get a discount?"
The VIP card of Haizhou Hotel was handled by Lin Yun for him a few years ago. Because he was the only one of the five shareholders who did not have a place to live in Haizhou, Lin Yun specially helped him apply for VIP cards for several high-end hotels in order to facilitate his accommodation.
These VIP cards have been sleeping in Geng Wenyang's wallet, but I didn't expect them to come in handy this time.
When the front desk attendant saw that it was a golden VIP card, his face changed to a flattering look: "First."
Sheng, you are a VIP card, and the room rate can be discounted by 6%. There is now 10,000 yuan in it, and the room fee can be deducted directly from it."
After 888 yuan is discounted, it is only more than 530 yuan, which is already very affordable. Geng Wenyang immediately said, "Open one for me and stay for two nights first."
"Okay, wait a minute!" The waiter quickly checked him in, and called a waiter to help deliver the luggage to the top floor of the hotel.
The so-called business suite is just one more suite than the standard room and has two queen beds. The outside rooms are equipped with reception and office facilities such as sofas, coffee tables, massage chairs, and writing desks.
After Geng Wenyang finished cleaning with his own hands, the family opened their luggage and took out the things that should be used one by one.
Zhuang Zhuang came to the window and looked at the night scene outside curiously, and immediately pointed to the distance excitedly and said, "Dad, the sea!"
Hearing the sound, Gan Ruolan came to the window and looked at the dark distance and said, "It's really the sea, it looks so close from here!"
"This location is probably the best vantage point in the hotel." Geng Wenyang said: "It won't look good until it's dawn, and you can see the sea and sky clearly in the distance."
"It's a pity that you can't take a bath in the sea." Gan Ruolan regretted: "Otherwise, I will take my children to the beach to learn to swim."
"Soon, in another month, and in June, we will be able to go to the sea to play." Geng Wenyang said, "I suddenly had an idea."
"Oh? What do you think?" Gan Ruolan knew that her husband often had some strange ideas, and she couldn't help but be curious.
Geng Wenyang said, "Haizhou is a great place for a summer vacation. We might as well buy a house here and live in our own house when we come to play every year, so we don't need to stay in a hotel."
"Huh? That's a great idea!" Gan Ruolan's eyes lit up and said, "Usually you can let my parents live and help us take care of the house."
"Your parents?" Geng Wenyang gasped and said, "What if your parents think our house is big and let your brother and sister-in-law come to live?"
"This ......?" Gan Ruolan didn't think about it so much, and hesitated for a while. According to Gan Rui's usual style, it is really possible to give up his daughter's house to his son to live in.
"Then I won't let my parents live." Gan Ruolan deflated.
"We can't hide it from your parents if we buy a house here." Geng Wenyang analyzed: "If she really proposes to come and stay for two days, do you think we can refuse?"
There is no reason why your parents should not live in your own empty house. It is a matter of filial piety or not, where does Gan Ruolan dare to risk the world's condemnation and openly refuse.
It's not to buy, it's not to buy. Gan Ruolan couldn't help but wonder, "Then what should we do?"
Geng Wenyang said magnanimously: "Let's buy two sets, one for my parents to live in, and one for us to live in. Even if our mother secretly asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law to live, we still have another house to live in. Isn't that enough?"
It's a brilliant idea that my husband came up with again. Gan Ruolan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Wen Yang, you still have a way!"
