Chapter 146

Wanshui Town is a place with a big gap between the rich and the poor. The poor places are like alleys. Young people are unwilling to stay more, and most of the houses are old houses left in the past. Rich places will be slightly better, there are several communities and large supermarkets, and transportation and logistics are also slightly more convenient. But if you really want to compare it with the city… there is nothing comparable.

Shen Yiling took a taxi to a place with a little more facilities in the town, including a bank and a shopping mall with not many people.

This time, she came in a hurry and didn’t prepare many things, so she just took this opportunity to buy something.

Just after the New Year, there were quite a few people standing in front of the bank’s ATM machine. Shen Yiling stood out among the crowd, and she added a scarf to cover half of her face, Rong Qi, who was still looking gorgeous, even the people passing by. Take a closer look.

After waiting for half an hour, it was finally Shen Yiling’s turn. She took out a bank card from her wallet and quickly took out 30,000 yuan.

It is not safe to withdraw too much cash at one time. She plans to give the old man 2,000 yuan first, and keep the rest with Grandma Wang. Except for a fixed amount for the old man every month, the rest will be used urgently and will also be used when the money is in short supply. Don’t worry, there is still a lot of money in Grandma Wang’s card, which she called the old man before.

A thick stack of 30,000 yuan is a bit exaggerated to hold in her hand. Today, Shen Yiling was wearing an off-white mid-length trench coat with only a little big pockets, and she was in a hurry to get out, so she just took a wallet without a backpack.

After looking around Rong Xi, she walked towards him decisively.

Rong Xi was standing lazily with his head down, but when he saw her coming, he straightened up immediately, “Are you alright?”

Just after asking, Shen Yiling’s hand holding the money stretched out straight towards him.

Today he was wearing a loose dark grey down jacket with big fat pockets. Before she could react, Shen Yiling’s hand holding the money had been flexibly stuffed into his pocket, she quickly let go, and after putting down the money, she retracted her hand.

But Rong Xi kept his hand in his pocket, and no matter how fast she retreated, he could clearly feel the temperature on her hand.

He clenched his hands into fists unnaturally, and his heart seemed to be scalded.

In the past, they would sometimes have a little physical contact, and every time Rong Xi felt uncomfortable, but no time was as caught off guard as this time. Not only that, he even began to crave the flashing temperature, secretly in his heart. I hoped she would stay a little longer.

Shen Yiling walked a few steps before realizing that Rong Xi was still standing there. She turned around and called out twice, and he followed up as if he had recovered.

After coming out of the bank, Shen Yiling took Rong Qi around to a small shopping mall next to it. There are no luxury brand stores here, but there are still many stores selling clothes, shoes and other daily necessities. In addition to winter clothes, new thick spring clothes have been launched one after another.

Shen Yiling took only half an hour from entering to exiting, and her hands were full of things, not to mention her, even Rong Qi’s hands were full.

If she hadn’t really been able to carry it, she would probably be able to go around again.

Rong Xi had seen Rong Cheng go shopping many years ago, and that time was the Hundred Flowers Night when she went into the folks in a micro-clothing fashion. She dressed up as a young lady from an ordinary courtier’s family, with two maids and a servant. In order to ensure her safety, the royal father also sent several secret guards to protect her secretly.

She went out for about two hours, and when she came back, the dark guard was no longer the dark guard, but the little servant who helped carry the box and the dessert bag by her side, and the pure black dark guard suit looked funny.

At the time he was only surprised.

Today, when he saw Shen Yiling’s stance of wanting to empty the mall, he finally realized that this was probably the potential of a girl when she was shopping, and her strength was slightly stronger than usual.

Shen Yiling didn’t go home directly after she came out of the mall. She took Rong Qi into a shop with a more refined decoration than other shops. Ten minutes later, the two got into the shop owner’s van together.

The alley is narrow and the van can’t drive in. When getting off the bus, the owner looked at this deep alley and was a little suspicious.

“Miss Shen, aren’t you kidding me? Can the houses here really use my designs?” That’s right, the shop owner is an interior designer, and Shen Yiling went to his studio just now.

Shen Yiling had a bunch of things in her hand, and seeing that it was inconvenient for her to get out of the car, the shopkeeper hurried up to help her get more than half of it.

“Thank you.” Shen Yiling thanked and said again: “I have already paid you the cost of viewing the house, I don’t need to play tricks on you, you just follow me in, and when I persuade the owner, it’s fine to sign the contract directly. .”

“Oh, good.” The shopkeeper’s somewhat round face flashed stunned.

There are not many rich people in Wanshui Town, and most of them are hesitant about house decoration. It is best to give the best conditions and cut the price to the lowest price. This is the first time he has met someone as straightforward as Shen Yiling.

Without further questioning, he hurriedly followed Shen Yiling into the alley.

After walking around for a while, he finally saw the house Shen Yiling wanted him to design.

“This house…” The owner’s expression became a little weird: “Is this going to be redecorated?”

Otherwise, is this bungalow with moss growing on the outside walls really useful for interior design? Look at the things piled up in the small yard, it seems to be garbage?

Shen Yiling didn’t seem to see his expression, she nodded and said bluntly: “First look at the house, and then find someone to decorate it according to the design drawings. It would be better if you have a good decoration company to recommend, and I will give you accordingly. remuneration.”

The shop advocated to open his mouth, and it was difficult to restrain the joy on his face.

Listening to Shen Yiling’s meaning, it seems that he has the intention of handing over the decoration and design to him. Although he does not do house decoration himself, as Shen Yiling said, he knows a lot of people in this industry.

Thinking about it this way, he felt more and more that he had to do this well to keep this cheerful client.

Shen Yiling took the two to walk a little further, and then she saw the anxious grandfather grandfather and the helpless grandma Wang under the eaves.

Grandma Wang was still holding a plastic bottle she didn’t know where to pick it up, and threw one hard at the corner. When she looked at Grandpa Sun again, the expression on her face became a little more serious.

“I think Yi Ling is right. You should be at home as soon as you are old, and you always run out and cause trouble for your children.”

Grandpa Sun snorted twice, “It’s just walking and cycling slowly, I’m not that useless. Besides, I haven’t given anything to that girl, so what’s the point of eating her and using hers now? Do I still want this? Old face?”

Grandma Wang didn’t speak, but glared at him.

“Did you call girl Shen? Why haven’t you come back after going for so long?” Grandpa Sun asked anxiously, and was about to go outside with a limp.

Grandma Wang was not angry, afraid that the stubborn old man would fall down the stairs and she quickly followed: “Of course I called, Yiling said that she would be back soon after buying something. I told you to charge you for your phone bill, but you didn’t listen. Now give Yiling a call to find me.”

The two walked down the stairs together, and when they looked up, they saw three people standing outside the yard. One of them had a raw face and looked a little old.

Grandpa Sun was stunned for a moment, and pulled his clothes awkwardly: “Girl Shen, is this your friend?”

Before Shen Yiling could speak, the shop owner walked over and introduced herself very enthusiastically: “Master, I was hired by your granddaughter to design the house. This is my business card.”

Speaking of which, he actually took out a business card from his pocket and stuffed it into the old man’s hand.

Grandpa Sun was stunned for a moment, and after recovering, he quickly went to stop people: “What kind of house is designed, I don’t need to re-build it here, you can go!” Seeing that he couldn’t push this person, he went to see Shen Yiling again, “Shen girl, what’s going on?”

“That’s what he said.” Shen Yiling put the bag in her hand on the tricycle at the door, and didn’t give Grandpa Sun a chance to disagree: “This house is too old, the roof lacks bricks and tiles, and the walls have several cracks. This is already a dangerous house. Not to mention that the air inside is not good and the humidity is heavy, what if the tiles accidentally fall and hit people?”

Tile from the roof fell off last year, almost injuring someone who came to collect cardboard and bottles.

Grandpa Sun said angrily, “I’ll just fix it, where else do I need…”

Before she finished speaking, she was picked up by Shen Yiling: “If you don’t want the house to be rebuilt, it’s fine. It happened that I also bought a house in Yunzhou, so you can just go back and live with me this time. But I’m usually very busy. It’s not so easy to see your old friends again.”

Grandpa Sun: “…”

He and Grandma Wang, who was equally astonished next to him, looked at each other, not sure whether what Shen Yiling said was true or joking.

During the moment when they were stunned, Shen Yiling had already walked in with the shopkeeper.

She pointed to the yard and made a half circle with her hand: “I want to divide this yard in two, make a larger vegetable garden on the side where the garbage is placed, and make a garden for the rest, which can be put down after paving a road. A reclining chair will do just fine.”

The climate in Wanshui Town is very good, and the sun is often exposed to the sun, so Shen Yiling did not want to waste this good pension.

The owner, designer Liu, took out a small notebook from nowhere, and immediately wrote it down in the notebook: “Yes, this piece of land can be completely divided into two pieces, and the foundation should be able to go outside. A little bit? I think the fence is not aligned with the neighbors next to it, and the yard should be a little bigger.”

Shen Yiling hummed nonchalantly, “It’s enough for him to live alone. Come with me to the room. I want to rebuild a two-story house.”

Designer Liu: “Does the old man live alone on two floors?”

Shen Yiling walked in front and opened the door, answering him: “The area downstairs near the garden is used as the living room. To make room for the old man to play chess with others, the rest is only enough for a kitchen and bathroom. bedroom.”

The designer didn’t expect that Shen Yiling already had her own plan, so he didn’t say anything more, and only gave some advice when Shen Yiling was tangled. For example, the elderly have inconvenient legs and feet. If you want a double-storey room, it is best to install a small elevator, which can save some space compared to stairs…

Grandma Wang and Grandpa Sun followed, and the more they listened to the expressions on their faces, the more surprised they became.

They have only heard of elevator rooms, but they are all high-rise buildings. How can anyone install an elevator in the room?

After finally waiting for the two of them to discuss the location of the kitchen and bathroom, Grandpa Sun finally found a chance to speak, and his voice was a little trembling: “This, how much does this cost? How can an old man like me need to live in such a good place.”

Designer Liu laughed: “Old man, what are you talking about? You should pay more attention to housing safety when you are older. You should be happy to have such a filial granddaughter.”

Grandpa Sun grasped the key points: “How much does it cost?”

Designer Liu took out his mobile phone and made a rough calculation, and said conservatively: “The area of ​​the house is relatively small, and the foundation is ready-made. It is about 400,000 yuan for building decoration and furniture.”

“…”

Grandpa Sun’s legs trembled and he almost fainted. He waved his hands again and again: “Let’s go, I’ll just live like this, just find someone to repair the roof in a few days.”

Unsurprisingly, he started chasing people again. Anyway, the house was already looking good, so Shen Yiling asked Designer Liu to go back first to draw up the contract, and by the way, summarize all the points I said today.

Grandpa Sun knew that he couldn’t understand Shen Yiling, so he simply sat down on a chair in the room to drive everyone away.

“No matter what you say today, I don’t agree to rebuild. You are not my granddaughter. Sun Qiang will help me arrange things like building a house! It’s not your turn!” Sun Qiang, the old man who hasn’t come back for several years ‘s adopted son.

The old man put his head up and didn’t want to see Shen Yiling, Shen Yiling didn’t speak, just took out his mobile phone and made a call.

She turned on the speakerphone, and the phone rang a few times and was connected. A man’s voice came from across from him, it was Sun Qiang.

“Yiling?” Sun Qiang was surprised that Shen Yiling would call him, and as soon as he got connected, he said politely, “Why did you think of calling me? I heard that you were picked up by your biological parents, is your new home? Very good, I have seen a lot of news about the Shen family on Yunzhou’s official website.”

Shen Yiling looked indifferent and said straight to the point: “I didn’t come to tell you about this. Grandpa’s old house is in disrepair and can’t live in now. I plan to demolish this house and rebuild it. How much can you pay?”

Sun Qiang began to act stupid: “What happened?”

Shen Yiling: “Money.”

The opposite side fell silent, and after a while, his helpless voice came again: “Yi Ling, you also know my situation, I finally have no spare money to take root in the city, and I also want to buy a house here as soon as possible. I’ll take my dad here later.”

The corner of Shen Yiling’s mouth twitched coldly: “He just likes the old house in Wanshui.”

Sun Qiang was silent for a while, “Well, I still have 2,000 yuan left this month, so I’ll give him 1,000 yuan, you ask him to find an old master to repair it, and he will have feelings after living in the old house for a long time. .”

This old house was repaired several years ago. The roof of Sun Qiang’s room was repaired, because it was raining and leaking.

The old man was reluctant to repair the piece on his house, and even if it rained, he would just pick up the bucket.

Grandpa Sun, who was sitting on the small bench, had red eyes, and Grandma Wang was so angry at this Sun Qiang.

It’s not that she speaks badly, no wonder this person will be thrown away by his biological parents, giving birth to this kind of white-eyed wolf, if she is, she will throw it away too!

Sun Qiang made it clear that he was unwilling to pay, but Shen Yiling didn’t bother to talk to him, and said concisely, “I’ll build the house. After it’s built, this will be my house, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Sun Qiang wished he had nothing to do with Wanshui Town. After the people in the company knew that his hometown was in Wanshui Town, they looked down on him openly and secretly.

Hearing what Shen Yiling said, he hurriedly agreed, “That’s it, fortunately, my dad has you to take care of, it’s not worth it that he treated you so well before. I still have a meeting to open, so I’ll hang up first.”

After speaking, he couldn’t wait to cut off the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Grandma Wang couldn’t help but scolded: “He’s rooted in the city for this wolf-hearted thing, why don’t you think about who is pulling him up with **** and urine, and who is it? for him to read!”

Shen Yiling didn’t answer, just looked at Grandpa Sun: “Is it my turn now?” She still had a smile on her face, and she didn’t feel like she was being taken advantage of.

The old man felt a dull pain in his heart, he turned around and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

When she still wanted to reject Shen Yiling, she only heard her domineering say: “It’s decided that way. If you are reluctant to demolish this house, I will demolish it. If you are not happy, sue me and ask the police to arrest me.”

Grandpa Sun was crying with tears on his back. He didn’t know that Shen Yiling was for his own good, but the more she was like this, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He just bought a few small things for her. The sum of those pens and books can’t compare to Sun Qiang’s monthly living expenses. How can he afford this girl so much?

It was Grandma Wang who came out to round the field. She patted Shen Yiling on the shoulder: “You girl, don’t talk nonsense like this, how could your grandfather arrest you.” Then she took out two pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them to Grandpa Sun “You old man too, you should be happy that your granddaughter is good to you, I think it’s like this, you can live in the house after it’s built, but this is a house for Yiling, you have to give her the land deed to avoid that shameless Sun Qiang. Later I came and said this was his home.”

Grandpa Sun was no match for these two people, and finally had to compromise.

But he accepted Grandma Wang’s suggestion, turned over the title deed on the spot, and solemnly handed it over to Shen Yiling.

This is also considered to have severed ties with Sun Qiang.

Shen Yiling accepted it calmly, and when she left, she didn’t forget to take out the money in Rong Qi’s pocket and distribute it to the two of them. She pointed to the outside and said, “There are some clothes and pants on the tricycle. You two should share it.”

Grandma Wang took those things back from the tricycle in two trips. After opening the bags, they found that they were filled with clothes and shoes, including warm but not heavy down jackets, fleece trousers, thick and warm shoes, and even felt hats. .

In addition to men’s clothes, there are also wine red jackets and brightly colored children’s clothes, which are for her and Xiaobao at first glance.

Holding new clothes with the same size and size as her own, this time even Grandma Wang couldn’t help but wipe away her tears.

Shen Yiling and Rong Qi lived in Wanshui Town for two days, which was also the happiest two days after Rong Qi came to this world.

Wanshui Town is underdeveloped, but it is a paradise.

Shen Yiling took him to see her former school, went to catch fish in the drained river, and took him to the fields of Grandma Wang’s house to grow vegetables and turn the soil.

The longer he got along, the more he felt that she was a cold-hearted person, and she really liked the place in Wanshui Town.

He really wanted to stay here with Shen Yiling for a few more days, but the disappointment always came sooner than expected.

On the morning of the third day, he received a call from Mr. Rong.

He said that Rong Xu was sober and wanted to see him. It doesn’t say a word about the bone marrow pairing.

The more so, the more Rong Xi could perceive the deep meaning of his words.
