Chapter 30
“Thank you, Second Aunt!” Du Yimeng saw that Moon Lee was determined and Director Yu had no objection, so she knew that she could not refuse this gift, so she hurriedly thanked him.
Anyway, the two families will be neighbors in the future, so it’s not good to draw too clear a line. She can make up for it when she has the chance. She doesn’t like people taking advantage of her, and similarly, she doesn’t like taking advantage of others.
Give and take is the best social etiquette, and she also realized that even though Moon Lee is already middle-aged, her temper and personality are very much like a young girl who doesn’t care about worldly affairs.
This shows that she is well protected. Director Yu is not only a very capable leader, but also a good husband.
Moon Lee: He is not… He always steals things from home…
“Thank you, Second Aunt!” the four brothers said in unison, and the fifth brother looked at Li Saifeng with a silly smile on his face.
He liked this second aunt who prepared a gift for him the first time they met.
“This house was renovated once during the Chinese New Year. I don’t know if there are any missed places?” Yu Hongru said meaningfully.
He thought the Du family would move in today, but only a few children came.
“I just checked. The house only needs to be cleaned and we can move in. Even the tap water is connected.” Du Yimeng said gratefully.
The houses allocated by the factory are generally bare shells. Some of the unlucky ones almost collapse and need to be rebuilt by themselves.
When he came to her, he not only gave her a yard, but it was also a complete yard that did not need any repairs. She remembered his favor.
“When will your family move in?” Yu Hongru nodded secretly in his heart. Some things don’t need to be said explicitly. He can understand smart people very easily. He likes to deal with smart people.
He paid for the replacement of the faucet out of his own pocket. If he hadn’t been worried about gossip, he would have asked Yu Lang to pull out the weeds in the yard.
Yu Lang: My dear father…
“If my parents knew that our neighbor is the factory director, they might move overnight,” Du Yimeng joked.
“Hahahaha…” Yu Hongru couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Nice words said unintentionally can make people feel the most comfortable.
Li Saifeng on the side couldn’t help but curl up the corner of her mouth. This young comrade is quite interesting. She likes people who are not particular about details.
…
On the other side, Du Weihai and his wife returned to the family compound. As soon as they entered the house, they saw a sewing machine in the living room. They subconsciously stepped out and looked around. Yes, this was their home.
Whose sewing machine is this?
Then I thought of the congratulations my neighbor said. Is this what they mean by happiness?
Neighbors: They like to say half the truth and leave the other half. They will never admit that they are jealous of the Du family buying a sewing machine.
The children must have known the specific situation, but they waited and waited, but the children never came back. It was not until Mother Du almost lost her patience and until it got dark that the five siblings finally came back.
The couple’s eyes subconsciously fell on Du Yimeng, but when their eyes fell on the ones behind them, their eyelids twitched.
My goodness, where have these four brats been?
They were in a very messy state, covered in mud and grass, but the common point was that their faces were red from the heat.
“Da Meng, where have you been?” Du’s mother asked her sons, who were sweating like dogs, with concern.
“Let’s go and clean up the yard. There’s running water there, so we can move in anytime. Let’s move in tomorrow!” After saying this, Du Yimeng poured a glass of cold boiled water and drank it all in one gulp.
Even though she just wanted to keep him company and didn’t do anything, she was still extremely hot after staying outside for half a day in this hot weather.
She wanted to move there as soon as possible. Living here was still very hot and stuffy even with a fan at night, and everyone agreed with her.
“Dad, do you know who our neighbor is?” Du Yidonggang approached Du Weihai and said mysteriously.
“Who else could it be? Of course it’s Director Yu’s house. Also, you’re all rotten, stay away from me.” Du Weihai said with disgust. Before he graduated from Dameng Technical Secondary School, he had taken a walk around the courtyard. He knew exactly where there were empty houses.
As soon as Da Meng mentioned the location of the house, he knew where it was.
God favors those who are prepared, he always remembered that, and now, good things have come to his family.
Du Yidonggang: Did his father consider his self-esteem when he said this?
Besides, his father smells no better than him. Has his father ever considered his feelings?
“Dad, you’re so awesome!” Du Yidonggang kept complaining in his heart, but when he opened his mouth he spoke words of praise.
“Think ahead of everything. If you can do this, you won’t have to worry about anything in your life.” Du Weihai said secretly proudly. He was a poor boy from the countryside. If he didn’t have some skills, how could he gain a foothold in the city with his wife and children?
Those stupid ones have long been eaten until not even a bone is left, and those who are left are the smart ones.
“Dad, if you can guess one thing, I will listen to you in the future.” Du Yidonggang said in a mean way.
“You little bastard, I’m your father…” Du Weihai glared at Du Yidong fiercely. He wanted to ride on his neck before he even got married. He was just asking for trouble.
“Dad, your good daughter found a sister for you, who is Director Yu’s wife. Are you surprised and shocked?” After saying this, Du Yidonggang ran away. If he didn’t run, would he be waiting to be beaten?
Du Weihai looked at Du Yimeng with a stiff expression. There was nothing wrong with his heart, but you couldn’t scare him like this!
“Dad, this is a long story, so I won’t explain it. In short, you just need to know that Director Yu is just our neighbor.” Du Yimeng said. The more she explained, the more confusing it became. His dad was a smart man and he must understand what she meant.
What she meant was that sisters and the like are just social connections, while neighbors are the real interpersonal relationships.
Sure enough, Du Weihai nodded and stopped asking questions. But when he turned around and saw the sewing machine in the living room, he remembered what he wanted to ask in the first place.
It was all because of that brat Xiaodong who interrupted him and almost made him forget what the most important thing was.
“Da Meng, where did this sewing machine come from?” Du Weihai asked Du Yimeng directly. He was worried that someone would interrupt him again.
“I bought it for my mother.” Du Yimeng said.
“For me?” Du’s mother asked in disbelief, her hands shaking with excitement. She had wanted a sewing machine for a long time.
With a sewing machine, she can earn a little more money to supplement the family income, and life at home will be better. As for hard work, who wouldn’t have hard work?
“Da Meng, where did you get so much money?” Du Weihai felt that this girl was like a mystery. Every time he thought he knew this girl well, she would give him a big bomb, making his head buzz.
“Don’t give me that ‘it’s a long story’ thing again.” Just when Du Yimeng was about to talk nonsense again, Du Weihai spoke again.
Du Yimeng sighed helplessly in her heart. She didn’t want to do it either, but he forced her to do it and didn’t let her talk nonsense. She could only tell the truth and hoped that her father would not regret it later.
