Chapter 305: Chapter 305: How Can One Be So Wasteful!
Hearing that it was Taiguo who bought the bicycle, Mother Qi first rejoiced, then furrowed her brow and muttered while touching the bike, "How much money was that?"
Qi Fenglian was truly happy. Being able to buy a bicycle ant that her younger brother was doing well, and she felt an indescribable envy.
"There are too many people here, let’s go back ho and talk. By the way, Mom, have you had dinner yet?" Taiguo asked.
"How could we have eaten? Early in the morning, I just baked a few pancakes to eat on the bus," Mother Qi replied.
Taiguo then looked toward Cheng Su.
Cheng Su said, "They have also been on the bus for a few hours now, and we haven’t prepared any food at ho, and we wouldn’t have enough ti to cook. If we go to a restaurant, we’ll have to take the car again to go back ho. It might be better if I took them ho first to settle down and rest, and you could go to a restaurant and have Old Song prepare a couple of fast food takeaways. This would be faster. Tonight, I’ll cook so nice food to welco Mom and big sister ho!"
Taiguo nodded and agreed, "Mom, big sister, then you go ho first, I’ll be back after I pick up the food!"
"Alright."
Watching Taiguo pedal away, Cheng Su then led the two won to take the public bus.
Fenglian, while gently bouncing Baobao on her back, looked around and exclaid, "This Qing City is really grand, so much more prosperous than our Flower County. The buildings here are so tall."
"Then big sister should stay a few more days," Cheng Su said with a smile, then asked, "Why didn’t Dad co along?"
"If Dad could have co, I wouldn’t have. We’ve planted wheat back ho; if Mom cos over, we can’t leave the house empty. The little brother and Pingping also need to go to school. I ca because I was worried Mom would get lost on her own. I’m sorry for the trouble!" Fenglian explained with a smile.
Mother Qi didn’t like to hear such talk and said, "What trouble? You’re visiting your brother’s ho, what’s so troubling about that?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Su.
Cheng Su added, "That’s right, big sister, you’re welco anyti, as long as you don’t find it too boring."
Fenglian laughed and quietly tugged at her mother’s sleeve.
Cheng Su led them onto the bus, and on the way back to the compound, she cautioned that their house was small and they’d have to make do.
Mother Qi and the others didn’t mind at all. In their view, the fact that Taiguo had managed to obtain a house was already quite an achievent!
Upon entering, they found the house bright and clean, which made them hesitate to step inside.
"Co in and have a seat!" Cheng Su called out when she saw them standing hesitantly.
"Well, the house is so clean, and I’m afraid my shoes are muddy!" Fenglian said, feeling embarrassed.
"No worries," Cheng Su said with a smile.
Mother Qi ca around and didn’t care anymore. This was her son’s house, and therefore hers too; she had nothing to be afraid of walking in.
Taking advantage of Cheng Su going to get water, the two won looked around the room, stepping on the soft sofa and feeling a sense of unreality.
Removing her backpack, Fenglian said to Cheng Su, "Taiguo’s wife, this house you’ve got is really nice, I think even the houses in our county can’t compare!"
Cheng Su handed each of them a big porcelain jar of water and said with a smile, "Big sister, you’re mistaken. When I first ca back ho, it was quite rundown. I had to hire soone to renovate it, and that’s why it looks so bright now."
Ah, so it had been renovated. How much money would that cost?
Fenglian was just thinking about it, but Mother Qi had already asked the question.
"It didn’t cost much, just a hundred and sothing yuan! Mom, have a sip of water to moisten your throat!" Cheng Su was cautious and randomly quoted a figure.
Mother Qi, however, looked skeptical. She would have to ask her son later; they couldn’t afford to squander money like this!
