I trade in both worlds

Xu Jizong nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xu Xu took the children to the modern world.

As soon as they arrived in modern times, the children couldn't wait to start riding their bicycles around the yard, and Xu Tiantian also asked to sit in a walker.

Xu Ziqing heard the voice and came out: "Xu Xu, your ID card is ready, you can go and get it."

"ID card?" Xu Xu was stunned for a moment before reacting. He looked at Xu Ziqing happily and said, "Shall we go now?"

"Okay, remember to bring your household registration book and temporary ID card." Xu Ziqing went back to get the car keys and called the children: "Children, we are going out, do you want to go?"

"Go." Everyone responded happily and pushed the bicycles back to the garage.

Seeing that they knew to put things back in their place at such a young age, Xu Ziqing shouted with relief, "Get in the car. I'll buy you some ice cream later."

"Wow, let's eat ice cream." Xu Zhun was the first to run into the car.

Xu Jin held Xu Qiwei's hand and slowly climbed into the car. Xu Qiwei sat obediently in the last row and helped him fasten his seat belt.

After Xu Xu carried Xu Tiantian into the car, Xu Ziqing drove towards the police station.

Xu Xu got his ID card and looked at it over and over again, wondering what it was made of: "What can this be used for?"

"That's a lot," Xu Ziqing explained. "You can take a plane, high-speed train, learn to drive, open a store, and all kinds of online apps will require real-name verification and will ask you to upload your ID card. In short, you need your ID card for everything."

"Oh." Not expecting the ID card to be so useful, Xu Xu picked up the ID card and looked at it carefully.

Looking at the big head portrait on the ID, I said stupidly: "Am I so ugly?"

“Hahahahahaha…” Xu Ziqing burst into laughter instantly.

"Are you laughing at my ugliness or at this ugliness?" Xu Xu asked with a pout.

"Hold... hug... sorry." Xu Ziqing laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Xu Zhun took Xu Xu's hand and said, "Let me see."

Xu Jinze said directly: "Sister is not ugly."

Xu Qiwei also patted Xu Xu's arm and said comfortingly: "Mom is not ugly."

After looking at the identity photo, Xu Zhun repeatedly compared the real person with the photo.

Xu Ziqing looked at him with a smile and asked, "What can you find out by comparing like this?"

"How strange." Xu Zhun said.

"What's so strange about it?" Xu Ziqing asked curiously.

"The photo is ugly, but my sister is not ugly, but..."

"but what?"

"Even if the photo shows my sister, she is not my sister."

Xu Jin looked at the photo curiously: "I can't say she doesn't look like her, but she does look like my sister. If I say she looks like her, she's obviously not as ugly as this one."

"Of course, you understand the true meaning of ID photos." Xu Ziqing joked.

"What is the truth?" Xu Zhun and Xu Jin asked together.

"Uh..." Xu Ziqing looked at the two of them for a while and changed the subject abruptly: "What kind of ice cream do you want to eat?"

"I want strawberry flavor." said Xu Qiwei.

Xu Xu looked at him helplessly: "Besides strawberry flavor, do you know any other flavors?"

"Strawberries are delicious." Xu Qiwei insisted

Xu Xu ignored him and said to Xu Ziqing: "Sister Qing, let's go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables. There is not much meat in the refrigerator."

"Okay." Xu Ziqing took the lead and walked towards the car. After everyone got in, he said, "Let's go eat Mai Mai's ice cream."

"Great." Several children sitting in the back cheered loudly.

After eating ice cream and buying groceries, on the way back, Xu Xu asked, "Sister Qing, can I rent the utility room from you?"

"Huh?" Xu Ziqing said puzzledly: "You can just use it, no need to rent it."

"No, I want to buy a refrigerator and put it there so it will be convenient for us to use it." Xu Xu explained.

Xu Ziqing thought that if she wanted to use the refrigerator to freeze something or cook and get some food, it would be more convenient to use the utility room, but she still waived the rent.

Xu Ziqing refused: "You can use it as you like, you don't have to rent it."

"But……"

"No buts, just use it. It's just to store some electrical appliances. There's no need to rent it. Besides, it's also a studio. We sell clothes together, so I should have a share of the house, so there's no need to rent it."

"But……"

"Don't say but, just make a happy decision like this."

Xu Xu felt that since she didn't charge rent, she would feel embarrassed to use the room at will. She had originally wanted to buy various electrical appliances. If this was the case, she might only be able to buy a refrigerator, after all, electricity was not cheap.

Xu Xu didn't want to give up and still tried to struggle: "Sister Qing, I want to buy a lot of things, including air conditioning and heating, but the electricity and heating bills are not small. If you don't rent it, I'm embarrassed to install those things."

"Is that so?" Xu Ziqing had never thought about the heating issue. It would start to get cold in two months. If there was no heating, the entire utility room would be freezing cold in winter.

After installing these things, I can charge her some rent as a token of my appreciation, or just charge her for water and electricity. But can this utility room be heated?

Xu Ziqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask my brother first to see if any heating pipes were pre-buried during the renovation."

"Okay." Xu Xu responded happily.

In the evening, Xu Ziqing called Xu Ziqi to discuss Xu Xu's plan to rent a utility room. Xu Ziqi's first reaction was that there was no need to rent it as there was not much money to begin with, and Xu Xu even used it as a studio.

"That's what I thought at first." Xu Ziqing replied

"now what?"

"Isn't it that she can't stay in the house without heating in the winter? And without rent, it's not very convenient for her to use it. She doesn't dare to buy many things she wants."

Xu Ziqi was stunned. He had forgotten about winter heating, so he turned around and asked his parents: "I asked my dad, and there are no heating pipes buried in that house, so forget about heating. We can install air conditioning."

"Then let's install an air conditioner. Then just charge her for the water and electricity bills." Xu Ziqing suggested.

"What else does she want to buy?" Xu Ziqi asked curiously.

"She wants to buy a TV, a blender, a pasta machine, a washing machine, and everything else she can use."

"Is it necessary? Who would watch TV when they can surf the Internet on a tablet?"

"Have you forgotten that there are four children in her family?"

"Well, since you want to rent it, you might as well give her the entire storage room. The things in it won't be used once a year anyway."

"You make it sound easy, but where do we put the things we cleared out?"

Xu Ziqi thought about it and suddenly said, "Do you think we should talk to our parents about this?"

"Uh, you didn't tell me?" Xu Ziqing thought that he would tell his parents about his adventures during those days after he returned.

"Do you think I am you? You are so talkative and not serious at all." Xu Ziqi started to retort whenever he got the chance.
