“The four rooms downstairs, excluding the eldest brother and sister-in-law’s room, which can’t be moved, the remaining three rooms, how do you plan to divide them?” Kang Er Zheng looked at his brothers and asked.
“Azu, can you live in the attic?” The old lady looked at Azu and asked.
“Live in the attic?” Azu thought for a moment after hearing the old lady’s words.
“The attic is a bit hot, you can buy an air conditioner, then it won’t be too hot.” Kang Er Zheng reminded. “That way, you can have your own room.”
“I have no problem.” Azu agreed after thinking for a while.
He wasn’t married, so naturally he wouldn’t fight with his married brothers for the bigger rooms downstairs.
“Since Azu has no objections, then it’s decided. The attic has another room, give it to Tianxiu. If Tianxiu is afraid to sleep alone, then he can go to Ah Zong and Ah Chan’s room. Ah Yao doesn’t need to move, just stay in the original room, Ah Guang will live in the innermost room.” Kang Bo directly decided.
Ah Yao and Azu previously lived in the room that would later become Ah Guang’s.
Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law lived in the room that Ah Yao would later live in.
Ah Guang lived in the room that Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law would later live in.
“Dad, I’ve thought about it and it’s still inappropriate. Tianxiu is already big, and he’s still living with us two old couples, we…” Ah Zong still declined.
“Second Brother, then let Tianxiu live in the attic, anyway Azu is just next door.” Ah Yao said.
“The attic is so hot, how can Tianxiu stand it?” The second sister-in-law 心疼道.
“If Tianxiu can’t stand it, then you just buy him an air conditioner.” Kang Er Zheng said.
“It costs money, Little Uncle, are you going to pay for it?” The second sister-in-law asked.
“Why should I pay for your son?” Kang Er Zheng rolled his eyes. “Before the renovation of my house, you earned a lot of money. Don’t tell me you’re broke.”
“It’s okay if Tianxiu comes back to live here, but we want the bigger room.” The second sister-in-law knew that she couldn’t change the fact that Tianxiu was coming back to live, so she planned to maximize her benefits.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ah Yao and Xingzi became alert.
“Aren’t the rooms all the same size?” Kang Bo said curiously.
In his opinion, the rooms were all about the same size.
“No, the one that San Shu lives in is bigger.” The second sister-in-law quickly said. “If you don’t believe me, we can go measure it.”
Kang Bo was also helpless.
“Go ahead.”
In the end, it turned out that the room Ah Yao and Xingzi lived in was indeed a little bigger, by ten centimeters.
Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law got what they wanted and got Ah Guang’s future room.
And Ah Yao and Xingzi returned to the room in the plot, the one next to the 天井.
At the 天井.
“Okay, Xingzi, don’t be angry. It’s only ten centimeters.” Ah Yao comforted Xingzi.
“What ten centimeters? That room’s ventilation and lighting are better than ours.” Xingzi said unconvinced.
“My second sister-in-law has always been like this. She is so domineering. If she can be domineering, she will be. You are educated, don’t argue with her.” Ah Yao persuaded.
Xingzi wasn’t so angry anymore.
“Look at Big Brother’s room. It’s next to the road. If you don’t open it, it’s stuffy, if you open it, it’s noisy, and it’s very humid. Compared to them, we are already much better.” Ah Yao pointed to the future second brother’s room and said.
“Forget it.” Xingzi could only be sullen. “Don’t hold a grudge against someone who is not important.”
“I knew you were generous. You don’t mind.” Ah Yao flattered.
“Hmph.” Xingzi proudly held her head high.
“We are moving.” The second sister-in-law’s triumphant voice came from outside.
Xingzi, who wasn’t angry before, was furious again.
The next day, Azu moved his things to the attic.
“It’s good that it’s not too hot now, it’s only early April. When May starts, this room will be like a sauna.” Azu felt the room was a bit stuffy after moving his things up.
“Save some money for yourself, don’t spend it all on women. Buy an air conditioner after a while, it’s not that hard.” Kang Er Zheng said as he helped him put the quilt on the bed.
Among the Kang brothers, Azu was the least reliable.
He was very frivolous.
“Little Uncle, sponsor me a little.” Azu said with a grin.
“Sponsor you? It’s not impossible.” Kang Er Zheng thought for a moment and said.
“Really?” Azu asked excitedly.
“Really, I will not only help you pay for the air conditioner, but I will also get you the best computer, buy you a bed, then buy you a mobile phone, and then get you a car. How about that?” Kang Er Zheng joked.
“Really? You’re not kidding, are you?” Azu asked excitedly.
“Hahaha, what day is it today?” Kang Er Zheng asked with a smile.
“Today?” Azu was taken aback, he couldn’t remember.
Azu took out his phone and looked at it.
“April 1st?!” Azu saw the date, April 1st. “You’re really joking, right?”
“Of course, do you think I was serious? It’s April Fool’s Day.” Kang Er Zheng scorned. “Ask your old man for these things, see if he’s willing to buy them for you.”
“You made me happy for nothing.” Azu was very disappointed.
“You, if you saved the money yourself, would it be so difficult to buy an air conditioner?” Kang Er Zheng shook his head and said, then left.
Ah Zong’s hardware store.
“Chang Ge, you are patronizing our store.” Ah Zong met Fan Shu Chang who was patronizing his store.
“Yeah, I need to renovate recently, so I’m coming to support your business.” Fan Shu Chang said with a smile, pointing to a water pipe. “Get me a box of this connector.”
“Okay, Chang Ge, wait a moment. Ah Chan, a box of No. 5 water pipe connectors, write the invoice.” Ah Zong shouted inside.
“Okay.” The second sister-in-law started to write the receipt. “What’s today’s date?”
“The 31st.” Ah Zong said.
“No, it’s April 1st today.” The second sister-in-law corrected.
“April 1st?” Fan Shu Chang suddenly thought of something when he heard April 1st. “I don’t know if you know about the big news recently?”
“What big news is there recently?” The second sister-in-law asked gossipyly. “Tell us.”
Ah Zong was also curious.
“Recently, Huilai Road is going to expand south, you know?” Fan Shu Chang said with a smile.
“Huh?” Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law both shook their heads.
“You don’t know? Your area is all going to be demolished.” Fan Shu Chang continued.
“What?!” They both widened their eyes when they heard about the demolition.
The benefits of being a demolition household at this time were not as good as they would be later.
“Is it true or not? Who said that?” The second sister-in-law asked quickly.
“The elder brother of Si Yan Liang is in the Municipal Bureau, he saw the red line map.” Fan Shu Chang said.
“How was the red line map drawn?” Ah Zong asked eagerly.
“The flagpole of Chaoyang Primary School on Huilai Road extends east and west… #￥%…” Fan Shu Chang started to talk endlessly, lying.
“Chang Ge, let’s go check it out.” It’s not very concrete just talking, they wanted to see it for themselves.
They were afraid that the demolition would demolish the Xiguan mansion.
The group of people went to the surroundings of the Xiguan mansion.
Fan Shu Chang pointed here and there, talking.
Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law didn’t doubt for a moment that Fan Shu Chang was lying.
In the end, Fan Shu Chang said that the Xiguan mansion was not within the demolition area, they were relieved.
“Then are we outside the red line or inside the red line?” The second sister-in-law still didn’t quite understand.
“Didn’t I say clearly just now? Our house is three meters outside the red line.” Ah Zong understood.
“Then we don’t need to move.” The second sister-in-law said happily.
“Not only do you not need to move, it’s also a golden opportunity.” Fan Shu Chang started to fool them.
“What golden opportunity?” Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law asked in confusion.
