Wen Liangliang came to Zuo Shugong's new building with Old Lady Zhou in the morning of the working day to discuss the decoration plan of the studio with Zhou Bocan.
"Auntie, isn't the fourth unit too big?" Wen Liangliang didn't know that this building was all large. The smallest was 138 square meters for three bedrooms, and the largest was 218 square meters for five bedrooms. Old Lady Zhou asked the sales representative to show them 188 square meters for four bedrooms.
"No, it's not big. If you are afraid of the trouble of cleaning, let my auntie clean it for you every other day. This building was originally reserved by the government. Zuo Shugong spent a lot of money to buy it. It was sold secretly and was not publicized to the public. 80 units were reserved for senior government officials, and most of the remaining 500 units were sold to business owners. Dozens of units were saved for the bank to pay off debts. "
"Look, there is a river in front and a high mountain behind. The sky is blue and the air is fresh. The subway is right in front of the house, and it is only 10 minutes away from the city. Moreover, the surrounding facilities are perfect. The children's park, the Provincial Academy of Art, and the city museum are lined up opposite. In the future, there will be key schools and international children's hospital. Such a good building is rare nowadays. "
"What does the fifth unit look like? Please show us. "Old Lady Zhou was excited and left the model room with the sales representative.
Wen Liangliang secretly asked the sales representative, "A set of four bedrooms costs 10 million, right?"
The sales representative nodded with a smile and added two words, "More than that."
Even with a 40% discount, it was still more than 4 million. Wen Liangliang sighed secretly. Originally, she had discussed with mother Wen and asked mother Wen to support her with 600,000 yuan. The total value of the two bedrooms was more than 2 million yuan. Now it was more than twice the budget. How could she support such a huge amount of money?
Old Lady Zhou and the manager chatted happily, and Wen Liangliang couldn't interrupt. After going to the washroom, Wen Liangliang came back. Old Lady Zhou smiled and asked her to sign the purchase contract. After Wen Liangliang signed, she realized that it was not a fourth house, but a fifth house!
Old Lady Zhou was in a good mood. She held Lin Luoran's hand and walked out of the sales department. "Zuo Shugong will handle the follow-up and hand over the building as soon as the end of the year. We need to visit the furniture market more during this period …"
Wen Liangliang's heart was beating like a drum. She asked, "How much is the total price?"
Old Lady Zhou rebuked, "Oh, don't ask about the price. This is the settlement allowance for our grandson. The Zhou Family will pay for it. Don't refuse it. "
The little Daoist had been waiting in the carriage for a long time. He put down the ancient book he was studying and asked Old Lady Zhou where she was going. Old Lady Zhou said, "It's already so late. Liang Liang, are you still going back to the company?"
Definitely not. Wen Liangliang shook her head. Old Lady Zhou said, "Then come to my house for dinner!"
Wen Liangliang thought she was referring to the Temple of Shing Wong, but when the car stopped, she realized that it was not.
Old Lady Zhou said, "My wife didn't inherit the Temple of Shing Wong, so we moved out. These few years, my mother-in-law has been in poor health. I have no choice but to run around. This is my home. My son works at the information port across the street. It turns out that we don't live here. In order to make it convenient for him to go home, we moved here. But it's useless. He's really a workaholic. It's just a road away, and he doesn't come back often. "
"Zhaosheng, pour some tea for Miss Wen. I'll cook soon."
It turned out that every time she brought Xiang Xiang to the Temple of Shing Wong, the little Daoist who was ordered by Old Lady Zhou to take care of the baby was called Zhaosheng. Zhaosheng poured a cup of tea for Wen Liangliang and asked Old Lady Zhou, "First Madam, do you want to ask Young Master if he will come back for dinner?"
Old Lady Zhou took the time to reply, "It's useless to ask … Just ask. Even if I suffer losses every time, I'm his mother."
Zhaosheng smiled and made a phone call, but the call did not go through. "Sure enough, it's useless!"
Five dishes were cooked in the blink of an eye. She was indeed a clever housewife.
The three of them picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. Old Lady Zhou said, "I just don't know how to use the big pot in the temple, and I have to be distracted by burning firewood. The electrical appliances are so good. Liang Liang, eat more. It takes a lot of energy to give birth to a baby. From now on, I have to cook delicious food for you every week to nourish your body. "
Wen Liangliang was drinking soup. She almost choked and coughed a few times before she could breathe again. She had been thinking a lot about surrogacy these few nights. For example, what was the process of surrogacy? Would it be painful? Would there be any sequelae? Besides, the Zhou Family wanted a boy. What if they gave birth to a girl?
Wen Liangliang put down her bowl and chopsticks and sat up straight. "Auntie, I have a question. If the first child is not a boy, will I have to give birth to a second child?" She felt a little guilty after putting away the house.
Old Lady Zhou giggled, "Don't worry. Yuan has predicted that your first child will be a boy, your second child will be a boy, and your third child will also be a boy … Don't be discouraged. The fourth child will be a girl."
"Oh …"
Zhaosheng added, "My master's fortune-telling is very accurate."
Old Lady Zhou squinted her eyes. "I heard from my relatives in Beijing that experts are talking about having a second child. We can have as many children as we want in the future."
Zhaosheng said, "Young Master likes to play football. Let's make a five-man football team."
"Hahaha …" The two laughed happily. Wen Liangliang didn't know how to react.
In the middle of the meal, Zhou Bocan came back. Old Lady Zhou was surprised. "Did the sun rise from the west?" She quickly went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks. She said to Wen Liangliang, "It used to be harder to beg him to come back for dinner than to beg on the street."
Because Zhaosheng had an appointment with a friend later, Old Lady Zhou had to leave immediately. She asked Zhaosheng to drive her back to the Shing Wong Temple. They left in a hurry, so Wen Liangliang was embarrassed to say that she wanted to hitch a ride.
"Is it fun to divide the pork?" Zhou Bocan took a sip of the soup, raised his head, and asked her with a smile.
Compared to fun, it was something unforgettable in her life.
That afternoon, under the resentful gazes of her relatives, she cut ten large roasted pigs with her trembling and greasy hands. The cuts were quite ugly. After Grandma Zhou finished, she said to her, "It doesn't matter if you don't cut them well, but you have to divide them appropriately and evenly."
Wen Liangliang wanted to cry but had no tears. No wonder the aunties looked at her coldly. It turned out that they didn't like that the pork was not evenly distributed.
"You will know when you try." Wen Liangliang smiled bitterly. She remembered that she took the opportunity to go out today. Zhang Qin would definitely ask about the situation tomorrow. Wasn't it a good time for Zhou Bocan to appear now?
"What style do you plan to decorate your office? Do you have a favorite style for me to see? "
"I'll design it according to your idea." Zhou Bocan swallowed a mouthful of rice and said casually.
This sentence seemed familiar. His wife had said this in the beginning. How much hatred did she attract in the end?
Wen Liangliang picked up some vegetables for him and stared at him. "Your wife's wedding room's renovation plan almost made me hurt! This time, your studio's renovation plan, please don't make things difficult for me. "
Zhou Bocan bit the vegetables in his mouth and smiled. "Did I? That's your bad luck. How's the wedding room's renovation going? "
"How can it be?" Just thinking about it made his teeth itch. After the ancestral worship, Wang Ningning completely disappeared from the world and never contacted them again. Zhang Qin was worried countless times and looked for her and Xiao Huang to ask what was going on. Xiao Huang secretly told her that the business was probably gone and that Wang Ningning might find another company.
Wen Liangliang was worried every day. She was afraid that Zhang Qin would find out that she had lost the company's business. What would he do to her if he found out that she had lost the company's business?
"It's all your fault!" Wen Liangliang glanced at him with a dark face.
"There's no hurry in the wedding room. Let's renovate the studio first." Zhou Bocan said calmly.
"Trying to coax me again?" Wen Liangliang would not believe him again. She asked casually, "Have you explained it to your wife clearly? Actually, it's much easier for you to have a baby with her than me going to the hospital for an artificial surrogacy … "
Zhou Bocan interrupted her. "Don't you know? My grandma likes it when it comes out of your belly. "
Wen Liangliang rolled her eyes. These people were so capricious when they were rich. They were all women. They were all hens. They could lay eggs too. How could they be so different? Grandma Zhou must be addicted to daydreaming. That was why she was so talkative.
"I didn't expect you to be so filial." She could only conclude like this.
"I didn't expect you to be so compassionate." He replied to her.
Wen Liangliang was annoyed. This person really did not know how to talk.
After dinner, the two of them waited at the traffic light to cross the road. Zhou Bocan went back to the company. Wen Liangliang went to take the subway.
Zhou Bocan asked, "You really don't need to send you back?"
"No, I don't like to trouble others." Wen Liangliang looked around casually.
She had only been here once. It was five years ago when she was waiting for him to get off work at the cafe. Now, a lot had changed. There were tall buildings on the ground, densely surrounded by people and cars. It used to take 25 seconds to change from red to green. Now it was 40 seconds.
"Brother, it's almost Chinese Valentine's Day. Buy me a bouquet of flowers?" A girl around 14 or 15 years old asked nervously. She was carrying a basket.
Zhou Bocan opened his wallet and was about to take out money. Wen Liangliang quickly stopped him and told the girl, "Sorry, we are not in a relationship to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day together."
The girl took a step back and looked at Zhou Bocan with disappointment. Zhou Bocan glanced at Wen Liangliang, "Aren't you very compassionate? Let's just help her out. "
The girl received the money and happily gave the flowers and basket to Wen Liangliang. Wen Liangliang's face was filled with the word "unwilling". The girl suggested, "Sister, you can sell the flowers to your male colleagues and let them buy them for their girlfriends."
Wen Liangliang pushed the flowers to Zhou Bocan, "There must be a lot of female colleagues in your company. As a leader, you should give some warmth to your female subordinates!"
"You can take medicine casually, but how can you give flowers casually?" Zhou Bocan refused to take it.
"You can give it to your wife! I really can't take it home, and I can't throw it away and waste it … "Wen Liangliang begged bitterly.
The moonlight was clear and faint, lingering around her body, touching his heart. He stared at her without blinking, wanting to waste time here.
Wen Liangliang was really afraid that her Senior Sister Liao would say something, but Zhou Bocan deliberately put his hands behind his back, so she couldn't do anything. After a few minutes, Wen Liangliang could only surrender. She shook her head and angrily walked to the subway station.
Zhou Bocan stopped her. "It's a weekend trip. Are you taking the child with you?"
"How can I?" It was already tiring enough to fend off so many aunts and grandmothers, and she still had to spend so much effort with the two children?
She could come up with hundreds of reasons not to go on this trip, but Old Lady Zhou said that she had just distributed the pork, and if she didn't make her presence known, she wouldn't be able to control this group of people. It was the first few family activities, so she had to hold on no matter how difficult it was. She would slowly withdraw from their sight in the future.
"What kind of mother are you? You're usually busy with work, and you don't take care of the children on weekends. Bring them along. My mom will help you take care of them, and I can help too. "
Wen Liangliang opened her mouth wide. "You're going too?"
Zhou Bocan laughed at her silly question. "That's our family trip. Can't I go? I'm busy with work, so I can't send you. Be careful on the way back. "
"If anything happens to me, it must be because of the flowers you bought!"
"Why?"
"I might be mistaken as a ghost! You don't know, but there are city enforcement officers entering the village every night. They confiscate everything they catch and send people to the car! Hurry up and take the flowers away! "
"If you go to the police station, I'll bring money to bail you out. You're the only one who's complaining. Ordinary women can't be happier when they receive the flowers. If you think that the number is shabby and the variety is not much, I'll make it up to you another day. Just accept it quietly today. "
It was because of this that he couldn't accept it. "Don't give me flowers. We're not in a flower-giving relationship."
