Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

"Now that he has returned to his hometown, the first thing he will do is to use his money to renovate a new house for us. He plans to build it into a brick and tile house just like yours!" said Chen Tianxi.

Li Jingshen smiled and said loudly, "Haha, congratulations! Why did you come all the way to see me? Did you want to ask where you can buy bricks? Oh, this is not easy to do. When I bought bricks from others myself, it took a lot of trouble..."

Chen Tianxi quickly waved his hands and shook his head, saying anxiously: "No, no, no, Brother Jingshen, I'm not here to buy bricks from you. Why would I buy that stuff? My fourth grandfather came back from Hong Kong Island. When he comes here, he is a distinguished guest among distinguished guests!"

"I've already informed the commune. With just one order, the bricks can be brought back to us. This is nothing. And I'm not kidding, the commune secretary said he'll come to visit my fourth grandfather in person tomorrow!"

Li Jingshen frowned slightly after hearing this, feeling even more confused. He asked, "If that's the case, then why did you come to see me today? It can't be nothing, right?"

Chen Tianxi's eyes were wandering. He first glanced at Jiang Xue beside him, then glanced at Li Jingshen. His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. It took him a long time to utter a word.

Li Jingshen looked at Chen Tianxi and urged him impatiently, "Hey, tell me what's the matter! If you keep dragging your feet, I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianxi jumped up instantly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, Brother Jingshen, I said it's not possible! Actually, I came here this time to discuss something with you, um...that is, I want to borrow your house, maybe for a few days."

Li Jingshen was stunned when he heard this, his face full of disbelief. He muttered to himself, "Borrowing a house? What kind of thing is this? Can you borrow a house just like that?"

Suddenly, Li Jingshen seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, "Could it be that because your fourth grandfather is very rich, he specially bought you a wife, and then you plan to borrow my house to hold the wedding? Oh my, if that's the case, then it's not very appropriate!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianxi's face instantly turned gloomy. He angrily retorted, "Li Jingshen, how can you look down on me like that! If I really want to get married, do I need to spend money to buy a wife? Humph, with my charm, plenty of young ladies would be willing to follow me!"

Li Jingshen frowned and shook his head, expressing his confusion: "If this isn't the reason, then I really can't guess why you want to borrow my house?"

Chen Tianxi gritted his teeth and said as if he had made a great decision, "Okay, then I'll tell you the truth! My fourth grandfather came back from Hong Kong Island. He definitely wouldn't be used to living in a simple and earthy house like ours in the countryside."

"We went to the city this afternoon and even the guesthouse wasn't satisfactory to him. So, after much deliberation, I realized your house is the best in our brigade, so I'm asking if you could lend it to me for a few days so my fourth grandfather can have a more comfortable place to stay."

After hearing Chen Tianxi's explanation, Li Jingshen was immediately shocked. He shook his head like a rattle and refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, my family is all bed-bound. Once we move to a new place to sleep, we simply can't fall asleep. So I'm afraid this won't work. You should go find someone else to help!"

Seeing this, Chen Tianxi hurriedly reached out and tightly grasped Li Jingshen's arm, saying with a smile on his face: "Hey, Brother Jingshen, don't worry! We are not borrowing it for free. The rent will definitely be paid as scheduled. We will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

Li Jingshen frowned slightly and responded with an unhappy look: "Humph, do you think I'm so greedy for your rent?"

Chen Tianxi hurriedly explained with a smile: "No, no, Brother Jingshen, you misunderstood me. Actually, my fourth grandfather is a real Hong Kong Islander. If you can do me a favor this time, it might be of great use to you in the future!"

After saying this, he winked at Li Jingshen, as if trying to convey a mysterious and tempting message.

However, Li Jingshen was not moved at all. He shook his head decisively to express his refusal.

He knew very well that he didn't care about the rent at all, and he didn't want to let some irrelevant people live in his house.

"Brother Jingshen, please be kind! We all live in the same team, and it is only natural for us to help each other!" Chen Tianxi still pestered Li Jingshen and begged bitterly.

Li Jingshen sighed helplessly, shook his head again and said, "I've helped you a lot before, so I really can't promise you this. Okay, let's stop talking. My wife and daughter are tired and sleepy. Let's talk about it later when we have time."

Before he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Chen Tianxi's entanglement, and directly pulled Jiang Xue beside him, then carefully picked up the lovely little girl, turned around and walked away.

Looking at Li Jingshen's back as he walked away, Chen Tianxi stomped his feet in frustration, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and caught a glimpse of Jiang Shu walking slowly out of the yard, apparently going home.

Chen Tianxi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He quickly ran forward, grabbed Jiang Shu's sleeve, and said anxiously: "Brother Jiang Shu, I have something I want to ask you. No matter what, you have to help me with this!"

Jiang Shuren had always been a loyal and honest person. Seeing Chen Tianxi looking like she was about to cry, his heart tightened and he quickly asked with concern, "Tianxi, what happened? Look at you!"

When Chen Tianxi heard this, he felt like he had found a savior, and hurriedly told the whole story of his fourth grandfather's homeless experience.

His face was filled with bitterness as he pleaded, "Brother Jiang Shu, everyone in the production team knows you're kind and honest. I'm desperate, so I've come to you with such a thick face to ask for your help!"

After hearing this, Jiang Shu showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and naturally he didn't want to lend out the house.
