NOVEL NEXT Chapter 256: Another Father
“Wife, look at this.” Ji Jianyun handed these documents to her.
Su Danhong didn't know what was going on. When she took a look, she was shocked. “Is this a land deed from the capital?”
“Yes, it's from the old man we met in the streets. He could tell with a glance that I was a soldier. Do you still remember?” Ji Jianyun said.
“What about him?” Truthfully, Su Danhong didn’t remember that man, but she still asked.
“I saw that he was alone, so that evening, I went to see him and brought some wontons. He asked me if I wanted the house next door, which belongs to his family.” Ji Jianyun explained.
“And you agreed?” Su Danhong looked at her man. Wasn’t this dumb? What was the purpose of buying a house in the capital?
“I agreed, and it was a bit expensive,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.
“So you gave me 10,000 yuan after selling the pigs, and you kept the rest to buy that place?” Su Danhong gave him an angry look.
Last year, her family made a fortune from selling pigs. Even if Su Danhong didn't calculate the total amount, she still knew it was a lot.
He gave her 10,000 yuan and kept the rest. She wondered if Jianyun had learned to hide the money. But she also felt that men should have their own saved money, so she left him alone.
He spent a lot of money on buying a shop this year, and there were a lot of other expenses.
She didn't expect him to keep the money and go all the way to the capital to buy a place.
“We're not going to live in the capital, so why did you buy a house there?” Su Danhong asked honestly.
It was a lot of money to buy things in the old capital.
“It’s close to that place where we can watch the red flag being raised from time to time,” Ji Jianyun said.
Su Danhong didn't understand this man. When she went to the capital last year, it was so cold that the wind in the morning made her freeze. Somehow, he could still get up early in the morning and take their two sons to see the red flag being raised. She didn't go, and she slept in.
This man has an obsession about their country.
So Su Danhong didn't say anything about that and asked, “How much did it cost?” As the wife of this family, she still had to ask.
“20,000,” Ji Jianyun said.
20,000 yuan at this time was undoubtedly a huge sum of money. Su Danhong gave him an annoyed look. “Idiot.”
“Wife.” Ji Jianyun hugged his wife. “I'm optimistic about it. Our country will definitely develop greatly. Then the price of our place will increase. If we want to rent it out, we can rent it out. If we don't want to, we can keep it for our own retirement. Grandpa Zhang asked me if I want to move to the capital so he can help train Renren and Qiqi.”
“What's his background?” Su Danhong asked.
“An old professor from Peking University!” Ji Jianyun said.
He only found out about that when he visited with wontons. The people around Grandpa Zhang respected him, but he was lonely, and he was almost 60 this year.
“You brought so many things from here just for him?” Su Danhong asked.
This time when her man left, he brought a lot of specialties, such as peanuts, soybeans, and the family's honey. As long as he could carry it, he brought it along in a big package.
He was big and strong, and he had to be to carry it.
“I wanted Grandpa Zhang to give me a deal for a family card, but the old man didn't agree,” Ji Jianyun said.
Su Danhong thought he was joking. Her man saw that he was living alone, so he brought a lot of good things to him.
“I promised him that I will take you and our sons to see him this year,” Ji Jianyun said.
Su Danhong didn't say anything. She’ll just go. She really wanted to go to the palace to take a look.
Yes, the Forbidden City was the royal palace in her previous life. It was a restricted area in her previous life, but now she could go in and look around.
But she still couldn't understand what kind of brain her man had.
He was able to make friends with an old man he met by chance, and even gave him so many things.
And more importantly, that old man asked him if he wanted to buy a courtyard. It was only 20,000 yuan, so he bought it.
In the old capital at this time.
Grandpa Zhang took those soybeans and peanuts and split it to kept some for himself and gave the rest to his neighbors.
“Professor Zhang, who is that young man who came here a few days ago?” the neighbor asked with a smile.
He was a professor at Peking University. Although he is older now, he was still working. Who could disrespect him?
“My godson. I told him not to bring so many things, but he had to bring them. I can't eat that much by myself, so I’m sharing it,” Grandpa Zhang said with annoyance.
But everyone could hear the joy in his voice.
“Oh, that's really filial. He came all the way here to bring so many things,” the neighbor said with a smile.
But some neighbors sighed in disappointment. They wanted to be adopted, but from now on, wouldn’t this courtyard belong to the young man? They didn't expect the old professor to have a godson. They had never seen him before. He was very tall and it was obvious that he was a soldier before.
He visited and brought so many things.
When Professor Zhang went home, he made himself a cup of honey to drink. He was in a good mood, and he felt that the honey the young man brought over was very delicious and sweet!
He was a routine person. He drank one cup in the morning and one cup in the evening. He soon realized the benefits of this honey, because the stomach issues that he often suffered from were relieved by a lot.
Ji Jianyun gave him three bottles, all weighing about two kilograms. Recently, an old friend said he had digestion issues, so he gave him one bottle. Unexpectedly, the old friend asked him about it.
“No, my godson will come again. He will bring more then, and I will give you another bottle. You can drink this bottle sparingly and it will last for a long time,” Grandpa Zhang said.
“Godson?” His old friend was stunned. “When did you get a godson?”
“As if you care!” Grandpa Zhang rolled his eyes.
“Tell me when he visits next time. You have to recognize him, right?” his old friend said.
“Let's talk about it next time, he is busy,” Grandpa Zhang said.
Ji Jianyun, who was far away in the countryside, didn't know that he had a godfather. Overtime, his godfather asked some people to repair the courtyard he bought. The whole courtyard was renovated and waiting for Ji Jianyun’s family to live there.
