“Ah Guang, are you planning to go to Henan tomorrow?” Kang Er Zheng asked.
“Yes, we plan to go to Xiang Lan’s house tomorrow to discuss marriage with her family.” Ah Guang nodded.
“What time is the train?” Ah Zong asked.
“Eight in the morning.” Da Lao Guang replied.
“Ah Guang, you guys are leaving tomorrow, remember to bring plenty of instant noodles. The food on the train is not good and expensive.” Kang Bo walked out from inside and reminded them.
“Okay.” Xiang Lan stood there and nodded repeatedly.
“Xiang Lan, remember to greet your parents for me when you see them.” Lao Ma Zi said to Xiang Lan holding a snakeskin bag. “When you have time, tell them to come over and visit.”
“We have a lot of farm work at home, they can’t come.” Xiang Lan was being honest.
“Then come again when you have time. We are in-laws after all.” Lao Ma Zi said politely.
“Okay, I’ll tell them when I go back.” Xiang Lan took it seriously.
Kang Bo immediately pulled Lao Ma Zi aside.
“Why did you ask them to come over? What if they actually come?” Kang Bo said in a low voice.
“I was just being polite, she wouldn’t take it seriously, right?” Lao Ma Zi was also taken aback.
Kang Bo was helpless and could only accept it. He hoped they wouldn’t take it seriously.
“Right, Ah Guang, this is for your father-in-law and mother-in-law.” Lao Ma Zi handed the snakeskin bag to Ah Guang.
There were a lot of good things inside.
“Ma, I don’t want it. It’s so heavy. I’ll just buy it when I get there.” Da Lao Guang found it too heavy and troublesome.
“This is your dad and my intention.” Lao Ma Zi said.
“Ma, I know it’s Dad’s intention, that’s why I don’t dare to accept it.” Da Lao Guang pulled Lao Ma Zi aside and said.
He knew what his dad was like, a miser. What good things could he possibly have?
“Ha, ha, ha.” When Da Lao Guang said this, he didn’t hold back, they all heard it.
“Silly boy, if you don’t want your dad’s intentions, do you want Ma’s?” Lao Ma Zi opened the bag, revealing a stack of money, about two thousand yuan.
“Thank you, Ma.” Da Lao Guang quickly thanked her when he saw the money.
“Your grandma treated your grandpa and his family the same way back then.” Lao Ba said.
“Xiang Lan, where do you two plan to live after you come back?” Er Sao asked. “Does your unit have dormitories?”
“Our factory is a joint venture, there are no houses to be assigned, only single-person dormitories, 10 or so people in a room.” Xiang Lan replied.
Er Sao immediately nudged Ah Zong, reminding him.
Ah Zong’s eyes also widened, and his brain started to work.
“I plan to live at home first, and then move out when I earn some money.” Da Lao Guang spoke up.
He had been living at the factory most of the time, and when he was home, he usually shared a room with Tian Xiu.
“Of course, everyone knows you are not well-off, where else would you live if not at home?” Lao Ma Zi nodded in agreement. “Old Man, right?”
“Did I say he couldn’t live here? Wait until he’s rich, my eyebrows will grow long.” Kang Bo said calmly.
Hearing Kang Bo’s words,
Ah Yao, Ah Zong, and Er Sao’s thoughts became active.
Er Sao and Ah Zong whispered to each other.
Ah Yao didn’t know what he was thinking.
“It’s nothing, you have four rooms on the first floor. Big Brother and Big Sister have one room, the other three rooms are for Ah Guang, Ah Zong, Ah Yao, three couples, and one room for the unmarried Ah Zu and Tian Xiu, two people in a room, and the attic on the second floor has two small rooms separated, they’re smaller, but one person can still fit in.” Kang Er Zheng said.
“Uncle, the rooms on the second floor are very hot, like a furnace.” Er Sao said.
The attic had been done up long ago, but no one wanted to live there, it was just too hot.
Even with a fan, it didn’t help.
Especially in the summer, it was like a sauna.
“What’s wrong with that, just buy two air conditioners.” Kang Er Zheng said.
“Air conditioners don’t come free, they’re expensive, and the electricity bill is also not cheap.” Er Sao disagreed.
“That’s simple then, the second floor is hot, let Tian Xiu go back to your room and sleep with you guys. He’s not big anyway, and when the weather cools down a bit, he can move to the attic.” Kang Er Zheng thoughtfully suggested to Er Sao.
“This…” Er Sao and the others were stunned.
This was indeed the best solution.
“If you have any other questions, we’ll discuss it together when everyone’s here. Anyway, there are enough rooms in the house, it’s just a matter of who lives where.” Kang Er Zheng said.
He remembered in the original plot,
Ah Zu moved out.
But he couldn’t take it and moved back to the attic.
“Then we’ll wait for Ah Zu to come back and discuss it, see if he’s willing.” Kang Bo nodded.
Kang Er Zheng’s solution was the best, no one would have to move out.
Ah Zong and Er Sao looked at each other, and then thought about something.
The next night.
The family meeting started.
Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan were on the train to Henan at this moment.
This suited them as well, while they were gone, they would occupy all the good rooms.
This time, Xing Zi also came to the meeting.
After all, she had already gotten her marriage certificate with Ah Zu, they just had to hold the wedding banquet.
So she had to fight for a good room for their future home.
“Everyone knows what we’re here for today.” Kang Bo looked at everyone.
“Dad, where’s Big Brother?” Ah Zu asked.
“Ah Guang told me that he just needs a room.” Kang Bo replied.
“Oh.” Hearing his words, everyone was speechless.
That meant Da Lao Guang would get the worst one.
This would reduce one competitor.
