After shopping, Grandpa Li and Li Xianglu, carrying large and small bags, entered the yard. At that ti, the Pang Family had already finished lunch. Upon entering, Li Xianglu greeted them and brought a huge pile of stuff towards her own room, but upon opening her door, she saw a scene that made her feel nauseous.
Li Xianglu’s rage was indescribable, seeing soone lying on her bed and holding her underwear made her want to kill, but this guy was the younger son of her grandfather’s comrade-in-arms.
Li Xianglu pushed open the door forcefully, and it slamd into the wall with a loud noise. Pang Xinran, who was lying on the bed, quickly sat up upon hearing it. Seeing Li Xianglu arrive, he stood up embarrassingly, realized he was still holding her underwear and quickly put it down: "Xiang, you’re back?"
Li Xianglu said coldly: "Who let you in?"
Pang Xinran touched his nose awkwardly and got up saying, "I let myself in, this is my house."
Li Xianglu moved aside and said coldly: "Indeed, this is your house, but at the mont, I am living in this room. Anyone with the slightest decency would never brazenly lie in soone else’s bed, let alone doing such perverted things!"
Li Xianglu’s voice was not soft. The three elders outside heard the noise and got up, only to see Pang Xinran leave Li Xianglu’s room with his face flushed bright red.
Mr. Pang’s face darkened imdiately: "What were you doing in Xiangxiang’s room!"
Before Pang Xinran could answer, Mrs. Pang said from the side: "My son said he was feeling sleepy and wanted to rest. He didn’t want to go upstairs, so he slept in Xiao Xiang’s room for a while, it’s not a big deal."
Mr. Pang knew his son’s issues and, angry, slapped him on the back of his head: "Mr. Li’s room is empty, why didn’t you go sleep there? Why did you have to sleep in the young lady’s room? You are truly regressing!"
Pang Xinran quickly ran behind his mother as another large slap was about to co, rubbing his painful scalp and glaring at Li Xianglu.
Li Xianglu didn’t intend to give any face, she said to her Grandpa: "Grandpa, let’s switch rooms, I don’t want to stay here anymore."
Grandpa Li soothed his granddaughter: "Okay, let’s just endure for tonight, tomorrow we will move."
When Mr. Pang heard his old friend was leaving tomorrow, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, what are you doing? I can send this young rascal away."
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "The house transfer will happen tomorrow, arranged by Old Xun. We found a good place already equipped with everything. We can move and live there directly, so we won’t trouble you further. It’s inconvenient for you." These words made Mr. Pang blush and, seeing his old friend’s resolute attitude, he could not say much.
Li Xianglu moved her belongings to her grandfather’s room to stay, and she threw that pair of underwear straight into the Storage Ring. Just thinking that the disgusting pervert might have touched all the underwear in her bag made her feel sick inside; she decided not to wear those anymore and just wear the new ones from the Storage Ring.
Li Xianglu quickly sorted through her belongings, then divided a big portion of bread and cakes and took out a whole roasted duck and placed it on the dining table, addressing Mr. Pang and the still sowhat disgruntled Mrs. Pang: "Grandpa Pang, this is what Grandpa and I bought from the Overseas Chinese Store for you and Granny Pang." She then handed the roasted duck to the nanny who just ca out, saying: "Sister Xu, this is Quanjude’s roasted duck, maybe add a dish in the afternoon."
Mrs. Pang ca over to look and saw that all were high-end cakes and bread, a big variety in one large bag, and a whole roasted duck—Li Huai Ren was indeed not stingy.
Also, she just noticed the watch, an Oga of all things, while her own Lao Pang only wears a third-tier Plum watch. What kind of background does Mr. Li have after all? These Western pastries are not sothing money can simply buy; they require Foreign Exchange Vouchers, and the pastry paper bags even have the Overseas Chinese Store logo on them.
This really puzzled her, she rembered Lao Pang ntioning that this Li Huai Ren was no ordinary man, having retired from the military, and was actually not as simple as he appeared, so much so that even though the national situation was bad so years ago, no one dared to ddle with him, except for so local miscreants who harassed him occasionally.
That is strange, what exactly is his background to be able to do such things?
Getting up early in the morning, Grandpa Li usually took a nap at noon, seeing that it was about ti, Li Xianglu coaxed the old man to sleep while she lay down for a while herself.
Pang Xinran wasn’t ho in the evening, and dinner was eaten in a quiet and harmonious atmosphere. For so reason, Mrs. Pang suddenly changed her attitude, being exceptionally warm to her and Grandpa, which made Li Xianglu quite uncomfortable.
A dreamless night, the next morning the sun was shining brightly, it seed exceptionally cold after yesterday’s snow. Li Xianglu found her grandpa’s scarf and mask, and also made sure she had the family’s residency book and everything needed for the property transfer.
During the transfer, Mr. Wang was also present, a community staff mber with very proper relations, and the matter was almost finished in one morning, and the handwritten property deed was received in the afternoon.
Grandpa was very grateful; Li Xianglu had bought two packs of Daqiann cigarettes at the Overseas Chinese Store the first day, and brought them today. After the matters were settled, Li Xianglu handed over the cigarettes in a secluded spot. Mr. Wang was stunned and imdiately declined, but Li Xianglu said with a smile: "You are too polite, we are in the sa community now, this is just a small token of our gratitude for all the running around these days, both Grandpa and I are really grateful."
Mr. Wang heard the girl speak so politely, knew she was sincere, and cautiously took the black cloth bag in his hand.
In the afternoon, without much delay, Mr. Pang wanted them to stay another night, but Grandpa Li declined, saying that school was about to start for the kids, Mrs. Pang didn’t insist on them staying, but instead enthusiastically arranged two vehicles, one for the people and one semi-trailer to bring all the mailed and carried items to the new location, with two service soldiers helping with the arrangent.
Fortunately, there were many people; Li Xianglu barely did any heavy lifting, just directed everyone to properly arrange the courtyard furniture. Exactly two beds, one for each room, the furniture was all set, and there were chimney slots already in the windows, which was convenient. The two drivers and two service soldiers worked very fast, tidied everything up neatly, filled the water tank, wiped all the furniture, and before leaving, even helped light the cast iron stove that Grandpa Pang had found for them.
Li Xianglu was incredibly grateful, they didn’t even stay for a al as the house wasn’t fully settled yet, so she insisted on giving them two bags of bread, but they absolutely refused stating they had regulations to follow. Eventually, Grandpa Li intervened saying that it was an order which begrudgingly made the four accept.
With the stove lit, the room gradually ward up, Li Xianglu made both beds and then realized it was already past seven o’clock. What a day, as busy as a battle.
ps: After eating so junk food, I felt much better.
