Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Found a Foothold in the Capital City
Grandma Fang heard the noise outside, rose from beside the stove, and went to open the door. Who could it be at this hour of the afternoon?
“Aunt Fang…..”
Grandma Fang was a little shocked to see the few people outside the door.
“Co in quickly.”
Each of their faces was red from the cold.
The Capital City is so much colder than the village, it’s not even comparable.
Captain Zhao and his two companions still felt a bit restrained; the house was quite large.
Grandma Fang led them to the stove, asking them to put down their things and co warm up by the fire first.
She then went to cook for them.
Mrs. Zhao also hurried over to help.
They ate their al right there in the kitchen.
“Sister-in-law, this yard?”
Little Uncle Zhao and his wife, looking at such a large yard, wanted to ask if it was rented and how one could rent such a big yard.
Mrs. Zhao knew about this.
“I heard from Laosan that when Laosan’s Wife took them back to her parent’s ho, they gave quite a bit of money. Coupled with the money Laosan had earned, they bought this yard, which gave them a foothold in the Capital City.”
What?
The niece’s parents had contributed money for the young couple to buy a house in the Capital City?
Then Little Aunt Zhao also rembered how the niece’s family had been sending things through the mail since she married into the Zhao Family.
It wasn’t surprising.
After all, Shitou did make so money, but buying a house in such a big place like the Capital City was not an easy task.
“Co on, I’ll take you to the public bathhouse for a bath.”
What?
Where to bathe?
Mrs. Zhao, carrying a change of clothes, led Little Uncle Zhao and the others outside, while Grandma Fang went to get cotton overcoats for them from the room.
Honestly, it was Little Aunt Zhao’s first ti bathing in a public bathhouse. Despite being older, it was rare to bathe with so many people.
Captain Zhao and Little Uncle Zhao felt very comfortable.
Now that it was winter, it was cold, and bathing couldn’t be done daily like in sumr, or even every few days like in autumn.
When they returned, each had a bowl of ginger brown sugar water.
“Do you want to go sleep for a bit in Xiao Yang’s and Xiao He’s rooms?”
Sleep?
“No, no need.”
Now, wearing the cotton overcoats, the two were no longer cold.
Grandma Fang also found cotton clothes belonging to Zhao Xinxin for Little Aunt Zhao, while Mrs. Zhao was wearing a new cotton outfit that she had worn only once during last year’s New Year.
They all sat together on the living room sofa, and Grandma Fang turned on the TV for them.
The group looked around the living room, appearing sowhat like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, seeing such things for the first ti.
The sofa in the living room was quite large, covered with warm things, complete with cushions, leg blankets, and there also was a very conspicuous telephone. Is it any wonder they found it odd?
“Auntie, please sit down and rest.”
Mrs. Zhao had stayed there for over a month during the sumr vacation.
Both Grandma Fang and Mrs. Zhao sat with them and started to discuss the children’s recent situations.
“Xinxin and Xiao He both have partners now.”
Little Aunt Zhao exclaid, surprised that her younger daughter already had a romantic partner.
“Indeed, they have partners. Before I left, I even t Little Sister’s partner. I was afraid that sothing might happen, so I didn’t tell you about it,” Mrs. Zhao explained.
There had indeed been an unexpected turn of events.
Her younger daughter really had a partner, and the sister-in-law had even t him.
“Is he a local of the Capital City?”
It was then that Mrs. Zhao began to talk about Wang Jianguo.
“His na is Wang Jianguo, he’s with the Public Security, quite tall, a handso young man. He has an older sister, and both of his parents are cadres. He’s a bit older than Xinxin, was unmarried before, treats Xinxin well, and despite both being busy, he drops her off after work.”
