Chapter 1640 - 1641: The Family Fortune Earned by a Son
That evening, Cheng Su put in a lot of effort to ’repay’ Qi Taiguo, and after not seeing each other for several days, they showed unprecedented passion and energy. Moreover, since the grandfather was there and sleeping in the same room as Grandma, the small room was too cramped, so Qi Xiaoqi had to sleep with his parents in one bed that night, experiencing both physical and mental torment, a truly pitiful situation.
The next day, Cheng Su got up with a sore back and legs, while her son Qi Xiaoqi had slightly red and black eyelids, which surprised Mother Cheng: "Why are this child’s eyelids black? Did he have trouble sleeping last night?"
Upon looking, Cheng Su indeed saw a hint of redness and felt a bit guilty. Observing her son’s eyes, she saw him yawning, looking sleepy but not asleep, and said, "No, he slept quite well!"
Qi Xiaoqi remained silent, considering you to be speaking lies with your eyes wide open!
At noon, Qi Taiguo returned and took Cheng Su and the others to see the newly acquired house.
The newly built house had a total of seven floors, with the exterior walls covered in colorful small mosaic tiles, a trendier choice compared to just a plain white wall, making it look much more upscale.
Cheng Su’s house was on the fourth floor, facing south. The hallway was spacious, with cement flooring, and the front door was made of redwood, looking much more upscale compared to the current dormitory buildings.
Upon opening the door, the floor inside was paved with mosaics. The overall layout of the house was two rooms, a living room, and a bathroom. Although it was said to be two rooms, there was actually a small storage room, somewhat cramped. It was usable for storage, but not really enough for living. A one-meter bed could fit inside, so if not used as a storage room, it could be turned into a study.
So, it could barely be considered a small three-room house.
What Cheng Su liked most was the balcony, with ample open space outside. Being south-facing, sunlight streamed in, so there was no worry about not getting enough sunlight to dry clothes and such.
Finally, no more hanging clothes out in the courtyard, fearing they might be stolen or misplaced.
And the south-facing orientation was truly excellent, with sunlight streaming into the rooms, making them very bright without needing to turn on the lights.
Walking from the living room into the bedroom, the master bedroom was the largest, easily accommodating a large bed, wardrobe, and dressing table. The floor was also laid with mosaic tiles, and the baseboards were lined with black tiles.
Cheng Su walked around, examining the walls and ceiling, all finished very smoothly. The whole house had a square and tidy look, quite good indeed.
"This is much bigger than over there." Mother Cheng also looked around inside and out, exclaiming in wonder.
Mother Qi and the others were also very happy, truly happy, not like the joy of knowing the house in Guangcheng belonged to Cheng Su, but a genuine happiness.
Because this house was earned by their son, not relying on anyone else, it was achieved through his own hard work. Qi Taiguo no longer needed to feel overshadowed by his wife in all matters; he could also earn and build the family estate.
Mother Qi was happy, happy because her son had made a comeback.
"This truly is a great joy. Taiguo has been a soldier for so many years, and to earn such a big house, it finally feels complete." Mother Qi said, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.
The struggle of a man is all for the sake of his family living well, eating well, and dressing well, isn’t it? This is a man’s responsibility.
"Oh dear, my dear in-law, this is a joyous occasion, and look at you, shedding golden tears!" Mother Cheng teased upon seeing this.
Mother Qi said, "I’m just happy, happy because he finally earned the family estate on his own."
Wasn’t this comment meant to point out something?
