Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Coming Home
"Alright, I’ll remember to ask tomorrow, I’ll call my friend to inquire. Someone should be willing to buy it. After all, the house of Sister Xiaoli’s family is really quite good.
Actually, I would like to buy it myself, but you two want me to sell my house, so how could I agree to buy it again."
"Dad, you know it yourself, Aunt Jiang said that buying a house in the Capital is the most worthwhile investment.
Aunt Jiang has also prepared for little brother and sister."
"Buying a house in the Capital is unaffordable." Although Lv Beiguang had only been there on a business trip once, he knew just by thinking about it, how could the houses there be cheap?
"The two of us also have money, and besides, we can ask Uncle Han. We don’t need to buy a very big house."
Lv Beiguang laughed and patted his daughter. "Don’t think about it now. That’s for the future. Besides, I’ll handle buying a house, you two should keep your money."
"Dad, Uncle Wei gave me a five hundred yuan bonus this year."
After Guodong spoke, he looked at his dad staring at him, quickly explaining, "I went out a few times, this money came from the pesticide factory.
I said I didn’t want it, but Uncle Wei and Aunt Jiang insisted I must take it."
"You live and eat at Aunt Jiang’s house, how can you take money?"
"I said the same thing, Uncle Wei said that’s not the issue, this is what I deserve. Living and eating there is because we are his juniors." Guodong felt quite troubled, didn’t he?
But Wei Kaiyun insisted on giving it and Aunt Jiang also insisted that I must accept it because it’s public money.
"Alright, I understand. Then just accept it."
Their two children could now be said to be supported by Xinyu. It’s really embarrassing.
It’s getting late, Guodong and Dad together, Li Xue and Jing Chu in one room.
After sitting on the train for such a long time, although lying down, it was never as comfortable as home. Especially lying on a familiar and warm kang, it felt so happy.
"Sister-in-law, are you getting used to it?"
"It’s quite good, Jing Chu, you don’t have to worry about me, I can adapt, besides lying in bed feels like home."
Especially since the future father-in-law had prepared brand new bedding.
"That’s good, if you’re not used to it, just tell me.
Actually, Dad, being a man, isn’t very adept at living, quite rough."
"I think it’s already quite good.
Jing Chu, why do you insist on Dad coming along with us? I can see Dad really doesn’t want to."
"Sister-in-law, didn’t you notice this time when we came back to see Dad, he seems much older?
If we’re not by his side, he muddles through everything, just look at how he ate dumplings today.
If Dad was willing to remarry, I would agree. But today, when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative with him, several young girls liked Dad, but Dad didn’t even glance at them, not even a look.
When we come back this time, next year we might not be able to come back. By then, what will Dad do? He has a job, taking a long vacation isn’t realistic."
Li Xue understood too. When Dad divorced and remarried, she wasn’t comfortable, but back then she also understood Dad, after all, living alone was really quite lonely.
"Sister-in-law, we have to find a way to persuade Dad.
You don’t know, Dad’s life has been quite bitter, some things I don’t remember, it was Aunt Jiang who talked about some, even she isn’t very clear.
I only know that after Mom gave birth to us two, she passed away within a year. Back then, Aunt didn’t let Dad come to see us.
Actually, later I realized she liked Dad, wanted to marry Dad, that’s why she controlled my brother and me.
When we were seven, Dad asked Aunt Jiang to find Aunt a job at a textile factory. Only then did we return to Dad’s side.
After two years, Aunt still used us two to marry Dad.
Now that I’m older, I know that back then Dad didn’t want to at all, after getting married, he never went into Aunt’s room, during the summer, he just stayed in the woodshed."
Jing Chu started crying there. Now grown up, able to comprehend what Dad went through for them siblings.
Li Xue patted Jing Chu’s shoulder. "It’s all in the past."
"Yes, it’s all in the past. Aunt showed her true colors after marrying Dad, she didn’t like my brother and me at all, I once heard her say she wanted her own children.
But because Dad wouldn’t enter her room for the whole year, she yelled and made a fuss. In the end, they divorced.
Sister-in-law, actually, my brother and I have always been dragging Dad down.
I’m not afraid to tell you, Dad always liked Aunt Jiang, but back when we returned to his side, I thought Dad definitely never told Aunt Jiang.
Now here we are. Neither of us can stay by his side, how can I be at ease?
You’ve seen it too, Dad is very likable to girls, if he had other thoughts, I guess I’d have several more siblings by now.
But Dad is self-disciplined, never has he been involved with any female comrades.
Such a person, how could I bear to let him live alone?
He should either get married or come live with us."
Li Xue listened to Jing Chu, and her heart felt quite uneasy too. Such a father-in-law does have the charm to be a heartbreaker, but he is very self-disciplined, showing his character.
"Jing Chu, I will definitely cooperate with you, let’s find a way to get Dad to leave with us. Then help Dad start a family again."
"That’s what I think too, but Dad simply won’t listen to us.
Aunt Jiang has talked with Dad before. But he’s just that stubborn, holding on by himself.
He often says he’s used to living like this, and hearing that makes me deeply sad.
I want Dad to be happy for the rest of his life. Look at your father, he has your younger brother, even when you all are grown and have your own families, there’s still the youngest child with him, making him very happy.
Having his child by his side must make him happy."
Li Xue nodded lightly. Indeed, as Jing Chu said, she and Red Army were currently in the countryside as educated youths. Big brother and sister-in-law still had to work, Hongling being too young couldn’t stay home alone.
So if there weren’t Aunt Lu and Hongpeng at home, wouldn’t Dad just be left all alone?
It’s quite scary to think about, she couldn’t bear being away from Guodong for a few days, so she’s now very grateful Dad has Aunt Lu.
This way, it spared the siblings many troubles, allowing them to stay outside with peace of mind.
"Mm, I understand, I’ll definitely work with you."
"Sister-in-law, we must treat Dad well in the future, must be filial to him. He’s had it really hard, too difficult. His life is all for my brother and me."
"Jing Chu, don’t worry, I will definitely be filial to Dad. Treat him as my own father."
