MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 170

The money that Han Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao have saved over the years is enough to buy a yard without selling gold bars. Even after the sale, there is not much cash left in their hands. Although there is a subsidy for going to college, not only does it cost nothing, but it can also make money. Han Cheng also received salary every month, but Su Xiaoxiao still wanted to buy another yard as a shop nearby, so he asked Han Cheng to cash out the gold.

There are many Xiaowumen, so it is still up to him to handle this matter. The international gold price has skyrocketed these days. The price of black market sales is much higher than that of regular channels. The price of a piece of gold is already the money to buy two large yards, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help thinking. If all the gold in the bridge piers were dug up and realized, how many yards could you buy?

After thinking about it, now is really not the time. It will be a good time to start one after another when the real reform and opening up will take place in another two years.

Today, Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng went to go through the transfer procedures, and the children stayed at home.

A rare visitor came to the old house of the Han family today.

Han Songbai worked hard to mobilize his memory, and it took a long time to recognize the person: "Are you Jiang Huai?"

Jiang Huai and Han Songbai are of the same age, neatly dressed, not angry and arrogant, but when they are pleasant, they are a little bit similar to Jiang Xue, he nodded: "Brother Songbai, I haven't seen you in twenty years, don't be ill."

Han Songbai: "It's really you, it's cold outside, please come inside first."

Jiang Huai carefully looked at the yard as he walked inside, but unfortunately it was covered in silver, so he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

In fact, he had searched this yard countless times, both openly and secretly, and knew how to go with his eyes closed, but he didn't find anything.

This time, I followed Han Songbai into the main house and swept the whole house, not even the beams and walls were spared, there was no trace of movement, and even the dust accumulated over the years was not swept away.

Han Songbai made tea for him in front of the charcoal stove: "How do you know I'm back? Why are you free today?"

Jiang Huai took a sip of the tea and put down the cup: "I happened to be passing by and saw the smoke coming from the roof of your house. I knocked on the door for a while, but I didn't expect that there was really someone."

Jiang Huai looked around: "Speaking of which, your house has not been lived in for more than 20 years. Do you need me to find someone to help repair it?"

Jiang Huai pointed to the roof and beams: "The tiles on the roof are all light, and the beams are crooked. If they are not repaired, they will not be able to withstand a few heavy snowstorms."

Han Songbai smiled and said, "I'm serious, the main structure is fine, but the tiles are a little loose. I've already found someone to help me repair the roof when the weather stabilizes. How are you all these years?"

Jiang Huai lowered his eyes, sipped his tea to hide his regret, nodded and said, "As usual, there is nothing good or bad," Jiang Huai patted his leg, "I injured my leg two years ago and retired behind the scenes and hung up a few years of idle work. My legs are uncomfortable when it snows, so I just retire this year, and I officially retire after the new year, by the way, have my sister-in-law and children all gone out?"

Han Songbai sighed, not much willing to mention it, and said, "Something happened, I'm the only one left."

Jiang Huai was stunned: "Sorry, I didn't know."

Han Songbai waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just that I'm all alone when I see you guys teasing my grandson, so I'm a little bit sad."

Jiang Huai shook his head: "I'm ashamed to say, my two unworthy children, one is unwilling to have children, the other is unwilling to get married, where will my grandson come from?"

It would be Han Songbai's turn to be stunned: "I didn't expect it, I remember that your Jiang Feng is as big as our Han Xu, and Xiaoxue is as big as our Han Cheng. The eldest child in Hancheng is eleven years old, and the youngest is Almost four years old."

Jiang Huai laughed at himself: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Our family Xiaoxue liked your Hancheng to chase after Qingfeng Town. He stayed in the military region for six or seven years, and he missed the great years. Speaking of which, I still don't know how to teach Daughter, she just watched Han Cheng get married and had children and still didn't give up. Later, Han Cheng's ex-wife left and married his current wife. She came back disheartened. She didn't return home, and she refused to marry. The hair is so sad and white."

Han Songbai didn't come back to his senses for a long time: "Aren't the four children in Hancheng born of Xiaoxiao's own?"

Jiang Huai looked at him in surprise: "Didn't Han Cheng bring his wife and children to see you? Didn't he tell you?"

If Han Songbai paid attention to Jiang Huai's words, he should have asked, "How do you know that Han Cheng brought his wife and children to see me?" It's a pity that he was caught in his own emotions and didn't notice Jiang Huai's previous sentence.

Han Songbai shook his head: "Han Cheng didn't tell me that the children are very close to Xiaoxiao. I can't tell that they are stepmothers. I thought they were all born to Xiaoxiao."

Jiang Huai said: "How can you, the older two were born to his ex-wife, and the younger two were born to Su Xiaoxiao."

Han Songbai raised his head: "It seems that Han Cheng has a good relationship with you, I will tell you everything."

Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly: "I also heard what Jiang Xue said, Han Cheng is not very willing to contact us."

Han Songbai said casually: "He has always been in touch with the Zhang family, and he lives in the old Zhang's house when he comes back."

Jiang Huai changed the topic: "Brother Songbai, I'm serious, you are too old, and you feel dangerous when you look at this beam. I have acquaintances in the Housing and Urban-rural Development Bureau, and I can hire a team of engineering teams to help you renovate the yard. Just a few days, there is a vacant yard next to me, you can go and live for a few days, and I promise to give you a brand new yard for the New Year, no trouble at all."

Han Songbai shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness. This is a house handed down by our ancestors. It is easy to move the soil, let alone the beams. It will inevitably be damaged by the engineering team. In Han Cheng's hands, it needs to be repaired and renovated, so let Han Cheng do it in the future."

Jiang Huai: "This..."

Han Songbai got up: "Old Jiang, it's getting late, and there's nothing at home, why don't I go out to buy some food, you stay and have a drink with me?"

Jiang Huai got up: "No, no, I'll just come in and ask for a cup of tea. Today I made my meal at home. I'll bring chess over another day. Let's chat while playing chess."

Han Songbai: "Then another day."

…

After sending Jiang Huai out, Han Songbai came back and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and bought him some good food, threw his sleeves, and said to himself, "This greedy old fox wants to marry his daughter to us for the sake of our family's gold. The Han family came and wanted to use the engineering team to dig up the gold in our family. I really thought I was so confused."

Han Songbai looked around, his eyes stayed on the beam, and he said to himself: "But where did the ancestors hide the gold? Could it be true that it was hidden on the beam, and the beam couldn't bear the weight, so it was about to break. ?"

Han Songbai remembered what happened back then, sighed heavily, took a sip of tea, and felt sad.

At the same time, the Cultural and Art Troupe of the Capital Military Region.

A new comrade who has just arrived in the art troupe said: "Minister Jiang, the leader said that our cultural performances and publicity work have been done very well this year, so that we can go home for the New Year holiday earlier, by the way, when will you go home for the New Year? ah?"

An old comrade next to him touched the arm of the newly arrived young comrade and whispered, "Minister Jiang is not going home for the New Year."

The new comrade said in surprise, "Ah~", "Mister Jiang, are you not going home for the New Year?"

Jiang Xue smiled lightly and did not answer her question: "Pack up your things and go home early for the New Year."

Everyone waited for Jiang Xue to leave before talking about it. The old comrade patted the new comrade on the arm: "Are you stupid? I reminded you not to say it, but you still asked!"

The new comrade did not understand: "Isn't Minister Jiang from the capital? Why don't you go home for the New Year?"

Another **** man said: "If you don't get married in your 30s, do you have the face to go home for the New Year?"

The old comrade said, "Is there someone you say that? Let's have some morals!"

Comrade Xin said, "That's right. Minister Jiang is beautiful and good-natured. It's called devotion to art. How can you put it so badly? If she wants to get married, there will be a lot of people waiting in line to get married."

The **** man snorted: "Still waiting in line to get married, you're talking about twenty years ago, right? Ten years ago, I thought she couldn't chew the food all the time..."

The old and new comrades gave him a wink and shouted, "Minister Jiang!"

The **** man stretched his body, not daring to breathe.

Jiang Xue crossed them to pick up the lighter that he had dropped, "ba da" and lit a cigarette for himself, then glanced coldly at the broken-mouthed man, half-squinted and took a heavy breath and walked to the man, the red-stained Dan Kou holding the Cigarette butt, exhaled the smoke ring and sprayed the thick smoke on his face: "Why, do you think you can't live more than 30 years? If you are not self-sufficient, even if you are in your 80s, I don't despise your wickedness and broken mouth. man!"

After speaking, she squinted her eyes and breathed lightly on the smoke ring. She often walked out on high heels in a heroic manner. As for the others, she never even glanced at them.

Comrade Xin stared blankly at Jiang Xue's back: "Minister Jiang is so attractive, no wonder she doesn't look down on you stinky men who can't live to your thirties."

The man who choked on the smoke and was still coughing said "you..." and continued to cough, as if he was about to cough up his lungs.

This year, the transfer procedures are simple, and thanks to my own car, the relevant documents can be completed in one day.

Su Xiaoxiao smirked with the house deed, looked at it and couldn't put it down. This is the first real estate she owns in the capital, and it is also the first home she and Hancheng truly belong to. The house where Qingfeng lived in the past belonged to the army. If you leave the army, you have to return it. After she gets married, Sujia Village can only be regarded as her family's family. As for the Han family's old house, she has never lived in it for a day.

Only in the newly bought yard, her and Han Cheng's names are on the house deed, and the address on the house deed is also the fixed address where they will fill in any information in the future. This is their first home completely.

"Hancheng, we finally have a new home!" It's no wonder that newlyweds in our country are obsessed with buying a wedding house. That feeling is really different. People really have to have their own house to feel at ease. Practical.

Han Cheng hooked his lower lip: "So you like the house?"

Su Xiao smiled and nodded with narrowed eyes: "In the future, I must make money to buy a lot of houses, be a rich renter, and do nothing after retirement, just go out in slippers and collect rent every day!"

The curvature of Han Cheng's lips was pulled to the maximum, and he asked inexplicably, "Why do you wear slippers to go out and collect rent?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "I don't know, it seems that the standard configuration of a chartered wife is slippers, Hancheng, I'm serious, taking advantage of the fact that the house is cheap now, I really plan to buy a set for my parents and my second brother in the future. You don't have an opinion, do you?"

Han Cheng shook his head: "They are also my parents and my eldest brother and second brother now, you can call the shots."

If it wasn't for Han Cheng driving, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to pounce on him and kiss him twice: "Han Cheng, you're so kind. By the way, I have an idea. What do you think of Sister Lan?"

Han Cheng nodded: "Good character."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Isn't she out of work now? And I can see that she likes our cubs very much. I want to cooperate with her to open a store. Her yard is so big, it's a waste to live alone. If she wants to use her yard as a shop, we will pay to open a small shop together when she leaves the yard, and if we ask one or two small workers to help, we should be able to open the shop."

Han Cheng didn't think about it. Su Xiaoxiao mentioned that, Han Cheng thought about it seriously, and felt that the feasibility was quite high: "I think it is possible, but there is actually another candidate."

"Uncle Yang!" Su Xiaoxiao blurted out.

Han Cheng nodded: "Smart."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "It is said to be Uncle Yang, but in fact he is in his early forties, and he is still alive. Now that Yali and the others are back, the old man will not be lonely. Uncle Yang is so good at being a chef. It is a pity. If Uncle Yang is willing to come over and help be the chef, we will invite another auntie who does odd jobs to open the shop."

Han Cheng nodded: "If you open a store, this is indeed the most ideal team, but it still requires them to agree."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, this is the best team, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, anyway, I will tell them what I think, if they want to do it together, if they don't want to, we will buy another yard and set up one Team members, the business of small shops with a little more delicious food is very hot now, no matter what, I have decided on this catering business, and in the future, I will make it bigger and stronger to open a chain!"

Han Cheng thought for a while: "Chain?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "There are branches all over the capital and even all over the country. When you talk about the name of a certain restaurant, people all over the country are familiar with that scale."

Han Cheng said with a smile: "Your ideal is a bit great, I think it can be, as expected of someone who intends to study the economy, do whatever you want, and I will support you."

As the children grew older, so did his daughter-in-law's thoughts. Before, she only focused on the home, thinking about taking good care of the children and the family. As the children grow up, she has new ideals and ambitions. City feels great.

Moreover, Su Xiaoxiao has absolute talent in this area. She is proficient in the national cuisine, and everything is delicious. In short, in Han Cheng's eyes, Su Xiaoxiao is right and allowed to do anything.

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head to look at Han Cheng: "Han Cheng, you really don't care what I say or do, you never say no."

Han Cheng took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and printed it on the back of her hand: "I just think that if the pause button for the college entrance examination hadn't been pressed for ten years, you would have been soaring in the sky ten years ago, trapping you in Su Jiacun and Qingfeng Town are really Qu Cai."

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and disagreed: "I don't think Qu Cai, you and the children are my greatest achievements in this period of time. They are my pride and equally important."

Since Su Xiaoxiao came here, she has been pushed by the gears of the times. Han Cheng, her children, and the relatives of Sujia Village are her biggest gains when she comes here. Other things are only icing on the cake for her. .

Now that I have the ability to do a little more, just do a little more for my family, that's all.
