Chapter 305: How Can One Be So Wasteful!
Chapter 305 of "Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife" opens with suspenseful action: Chapter 305: Chapter 305: How Can One Be So Wasteful!Hearing that it was Taiguo who... Keep going!
Chapter 305: Chapter 305: How Can One Be So Wasteful!Hearing that it was Taiguo who bought the bicycle, Mother Qi first rejoiced, then furrowed her brow and muttered while touching the bike, "How much money was that?"
Qi Fenglian was truly happy. Being able to buy a bicycle meant that her younger brother was doing well, and she felt an indescribable envy.
"There are too many people here, letās go back home and talk. By the way, Mom, have you had dinner yet?" Taiguo asked.
"How could we have eaten? Early in the morning, I just baked a few pancakes to eat on the bus," Mother Qi replied.
Taiguo then looked toward Cheng Su.
Cheng Su said, "They have also been on the bus for a few hours now, and we havenāt prepared any food at home, and we wouldnāt have enough time to cook. If we go to a restaurant, weāll have to take the car again to go back home. It might be better if I took them home first to settle down and rest, and you could go to a restaurant and have Old Song prepare a couple of fast food takeaways. This would be faster. Tonight, Iāll cook some nice food to welcome Mom and big sister home!"
Taiguo nodded and agreed, "Mom, big sister, then you go home first, Iāll be back after I pick up the food!"
"Alright."
Watching Taiguo pedal away, Cheng Su then led the two women to take the public bus.
Fenglian, while gently bouncing Baobao on her back, looked around and exclaimed, "This Qing City is really grand, so much more prosperous than our Flower County. The buildings here are so tall."
"Then big sister should stay a few more days," Cheng Su said with a smile, then asked, "Why didnāt Dad come along?"
"If Dad could have come, I wouldnāt have. Weāve planted wheat back home; if Mom comes over, we canāt leave the house empty. The little brother and Pingping also need to go to school. I came because I was worried Mom would get lost on her own. Iām sorry for the trouble!" Fenglian explained with a smile.
Mother Qi didnāt like to hear such talk and said, "What trouble? Youāre visiting your brotherās home, whatās so troubling about that?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Su.
Cheng Su added, "Thatās right, big sister, youāre welcome anytime, as long as you donāt find it too boring."
Fenglian laughed and quietly tugged at her motherās sleeve.
Cheng Su led them onto the bus, and on the way back to the compound, she cautioned that their house was small and theyād have to make do.
Mother Qi and the others didnāt mind at all. In their view, the fact that Taiguo had managed to obtain a house was already quite an achievement!
Upon entering, they found the house bright and clean, which made them hesitate to step inside.
"Come in and have a seat!" Cheng Su called out when she saw them standing hesitantly.
"Well, the house is so clean, and Iām afraid my shoes are muddy!" Fenglian said, feeling embarrassed.
"No worries," Cheng Su said with a smile.
Mother Qi came around and didnāt care anymore. This was her sonās house, and therefore hers too; she had nothing to be afraid of walking in.
Taking advantage of Cheng Su going to get water, the two women looked around the room, stepping on the soft sofa and feeling a sense of unreality.
Removing her backpack, Fenglian said to Cheng Su, "Taiguoās wife, this house youāve got is really nice, I think even the houses in our county canāt compare!"
Cheng Su handed each of them a big porcelain jar of water and said with a smile, "Big sister, youāre mistaken. When I first came back home, it was quite rundown. I had to hire someone to renovate it, and thatās why it looks so bright now."
Ah, so it had been renovated. How much money would that cost?
Fenglian was just thinking about it, but Mother Qi had already asked the question.
"It didnāt cost much, just a hundred and something yuan! Mom, have a sip of water to moisten your throat!" Cheng Su was cautious and randomly quoted a figure.
Mother Qi, however, looked skeptical. She would have to ask her son later; they couldnāt afford to squander money like this!
