Chapter 1982: Chapter 1984: Preparing to Move Out
Cheng Su graduated, and after handling the business handover in Qing City with Zhan Qin, moving plans came up since they intended to stay in Guangcheng for a long time. With Qi Taiguo not around, decisions about the house were hard to make.
According to Mother Cheng’s wishes, since Cheng Su’s place in Guangcheng had everything, there was no need to move large items, just personal effects.
"... Even though you’re moving to Guangcheng, you still have business in Qing City. You’ll come back sometimes, so having a place to stay overnight is convenient," Mother Cheng said.
Cheng Su replied, "Mom, a house needs to have people living in it. If it’s left empty for too long, it gets musty and dusty. If I come back to stay for a few days, I’d have to clean it thoroughly first. I’d just stay in a hotel."
"You’re so particular!" Mother Cheng clicked her tongue.
"The kid is right, you see we’ve been away for so long, and the house here has been locked up, it smells musty when we return!" Father Cheng agreed with Cheng Su.
Mother Cheng pursed her lips and asked, "Hey, shouldn’t Third Aunt be helping us air out the bedding and stuff?"
"Even if she is, a house definitely needs someone living in it to feel lively," Father Cheng said.
Cheng Su also said, "See, even dad says so."
"Fine, fine, the both of you are right," Mother Cheng huffed softly and said, "So what do you suggest? The house in Guangcheng isn’t big, are you moving everything there?"
"For now, I won’t move everything, just some personal items. When Taiguo returns, we can discuss whether to rent out this place and leave the furniture for the tenants!" Cheng Su had already thought about it.
Although she wasn’t concerned about the rent, having someone live in the house meant it would be maintained. Better that than leaving it empty to get moldy and cobwebby.
"That’s true. Taiguo is the head of the household, it’s best to discuss with him first. Don’t make decisions alone," Mother Cheng advised.
Cheng Su smiled.
"Shouldn’t he be back by now? It’s June already, wasn’t he supposed to be gone for half a year?"
"It might be half a year or a year," Cheng Su pursed her lips. In these six months, he hadn’t called, so she had no idea when he’d be back or how he was doing.
But whether good or bad, these six months have passed. If he comes back, that’s good; if not, it will just be another six months.
Time really flies.
Mother Cheng put her hands together, murmuring a few words of prayer: "Amitabha, bless my son-in-law to return safely, reuniting the family."
Cheng Su found it amusing and heartwarming as her gaze fell on the photo next to the phone, feeling a pang of sadness.
"What about your in-laws? How will you handle it?" Father Cheng asked.
"Right, when Taiguo left, we agreed to take Xiao Qi for six months each. It’s June, time to switch," Mother Cheng looked at Cheng Su, feeling reluctant. How did time pass so quickly?
"I’ll discuss it with them when the time comes," Cheng Su said.
Mother Cheng sighed, "It’s just six months, but once you all live together, your father and I won’t need to help with the kids!"
"Dad, Mom, this time you come with me. Your new house is ready, you must come and check it out, settle down, and make it livable!" Cheng Su laughed.
Mother Cheng was immediately delighted. Around March or April, Cheng Zhi called to say the house was ready, not far away, and they could move in anytime!
Although Cheng Su provided most of the money, the fact that the whole family could settle and reunite in Guangcheng was indeed a joyous occasion!
