Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

After having breakfast at Xia He's house, Bai Zhenzhu went to Huimin Market.

The two stores here are doing quite well. Li Yuerong and Zhou Yan are becoming more and more proficient in their work, and they keep clear records of the accounts and inventory.

Li Yuerong has already bought a house. The couple didn't go to Xingfu Street to buy their old house. After discussing it, they bought a new house in Huimin Community.

It's a three-bedroom apartment, right next to Xu Yin's. The original owner received one unit as compensation for the demolition and sold the other one.

I spent 30,000 yuan and have already received the property certificate.

She said embarrassedly:

"Your brother-in-law and I initially wanted to buy on Xingfu Street, but we thought it was a bit far from our workplace."

“Your brother-in-law has to get up early every morning to deliver braised meat. I’m thinking, who cares about whether it’s demolished or not, buying a new house is the same. We can move in after tidying it up, and we’ll bring the kids over next year.”

Bai Zhenzhu was quite surprised. Li Yuerong and her husband were usually quiet, but she didn't expect them to have such good ideas.

He laughed and said, "A new house is great, of course. Look at this area around us, it's bound to become a big community in the future, and everything will be convenient."

"And you're right, this place is close to your work and your child's school, it's great."

"Sis, do you have enough money?"

“It’s enough. I borrowed some from Yue Shu, and my in-laws also provided some support for the child’s schooling.”

Bai Zhenzhu was also happy for Li Yuerong:

"Has the matter of the child's schooling been settled?"

Li Yuerong smiled and said:

“Your brother-in-law specifically inquired and found out that all you need to do is pay a transfer fee. It’s the new school that’s been built up ahead of us. Next spring, Wenjie and the others will all be attending the new school.”

It seems they've planned everything perfectly, which puts Bai Zhenzhu at ease.

Li Yuerong said gratefully:

“If you hadn’t called us out, we would never have dreamed that we could buy a house in the city, and our children would never have had the opportunity to go to school in the city.”

Bai Zhenzhu then said:

“You and your brother-in-law are people I trust. You can just focus on doing your work here.”

Li Yuerong happily exclaimed "Yes!"

Then Bai Zhenzhu went to the company again.

Jian Shuhang signed several more deals, but Bai Zhenzhu didn't need to get involved.

The workers in the company are all experienced; they can install it by referring to the renderings that Bai Zhenzhu produced before.

The renovation of the villa belonging to the brick kiln owner is also progressing smoothly, but it's still a long way from completion.

The 18,000 yuan chandelier hasn't arrived yet, and there are other large new items that will take time to get to Yuan County.

She went to Xiao Zhongyun's supermarket and bought some nutritional supplements, which she gave to Xia He to take to Qin Ming.

There was nothing to worry about in Yuan County, so after lunch, Bai Zhenzhu drove the elderly couple and Xiao Wenbo back to Rongcheng.

Knowing that his parents and youngest son were coming to Chengdu, Bai Chengxiang closed his shop before six o'clock today and rode his tricycle to Teapot Lane.

Bai Zhenzhu and the others arrived around five o'clock. Old Man Bai and Li Xiufen had already rested for a while.

Shuo Shuo kept pestering his grandfather, pulling him to show him his new home, and asking his grandparents not to leave and to live with him from now on.

They made the elderly couple laugh from ear to ear.

Bai Chengxiang hadn't seen his youngest son for a while, so he hugged Xiao Wenbo and gave him a big kiss as soon as he entered the door.

Only then did they turn to their parents:

"Dad, Mom, are you carsick?"

The elderly couple looked to be in very good spirits.

Li Xiufen smiled and said:

"Why would we get carsick? These two old bones of ours can still travel around Chengdu. Carsickness is nothing to us."

Old Man Bai had just turned back from the yard with his hands behind his back, nodding repeatedly:

"It's a good purchase to buy this courtyard of pearls."

Bai Chengxiang smiled and said:

"Of course it's great! This is Chengdu, after all. It takes luck to buy such a big courtyard house. They're not easy to buy these days."

And then he couldn't help but brag to his parents:

"Pearl also bought a huge store to sell clothes."

"As the older brother, I was a bit weaker; I only bought a small shop."

Li Xiufen knew that her second son had always been concerned about his image. He seemed to be being modest, but he just wanted a few compliments.

So they gave him that face:

"You are all doing well to be able to buy houses and shops in the city now. Living a good life is more important than anything else."

Bai Chengxiang then teased the little Wenbo in his arms:

"Son, Dad will work hard to earn money so that you can all come to Chengdu next year."

He's gotten used to Chengdu now and doesn't want to go back to Yuan County.

The elderly couple were also amazed by the prosperity of Chengdu along the way.

Old Man Bai was so excited that he couldn't sit down.

He said with his hands behind his back:

"Chengdu is great, big cities offer more opportunities, Chengdu is great."

When Liu Huiying returned, dinner was served in the courtyard.

Sister Luo prepared a table full of delicious food to welcome the elderly couple back.

Bai Chengxiang was reluctant to leave after finishing his meal. Xiao Wenbo had already learned to call him "Dad" and called out to Bai Chengxiang twice, which almost made Bai Chengxiang go crazy with joy.

If he weren't thinking about having to get up early the next morning to braise meat, he would have loved to stay overnight in the courtyard house.

Knowing that Xiao Wenbo had brought enough milk powder and clothes, he was reluctantly sent away by Li Xiufen.

It was getting late, so Bai Zhenzhu took out the soft, sun-dried bedding from the closet and made the bed.

Because there are many people in her family, she likes to buy large beds so that they are spacious and comfortable to sleep on.

Even if you squeeze a little Wenbo in the middle, the 1.8-meter bed won't feel cramped.

The next day, after breakfast, Sister Luo took the two children to school first.

Old Man Bai tidied himself up neatly and cleanly, ready to go out for a stroll with Bai Zhenzhu.

Li Xiufen, dragging a child along, glared reproachfully at Old Man Bai:

"You're so carefree."

Bai Zhenzhu couldn't stop laughing:

"Go, go, Mom, take Wenbo with you."

As she spoke, she went to pack up Xiao Wenbo's diapers and two spare pairs of pants, filling a bag with various items.

So the elderly couple took their grandson and got into their daughter's van, and went to Qingfeng Road first.

Seeing that such a large two-story shop belonged to their daughter, the elderly couple were overjoyed.

Bai Zhenzhu went back to Yuan County, and the warehouse was almost ready.

Knowing that she was in a hurry to use the warehouse to store goods, Wang Liping specially arranged for people to come and work together upstairs and downstairs.

The floors upstairs and downstairs have been laid, and the upstairs plaster has been applied; only the downstairs walls haven't been painted yet.

If several workers work together, they can finish by noon.

With Wang Liping absent, one of the squad leaders in charge said to Bai Zhenzhu:

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Wang said we can finish this morning. You can send someone over to clean up."

Old Man Bai waved his hand:

"There's no need to hire anyone for such a small task, Pearl, Dad will clean it."

Bai Zhenzhu quickly pulled him back:

"Dad, this isn't like sweeping the floor at home. You can't just leave this trash lying around. I'd better find someone to clean it up."

You can find out by asking the construction workers; the foreman's wife does this kind of work.

Bai Zhenzhu then asked the other party's wife to clean up the mess. It cost ten yuan in total, and the mess would be ready by tomorrow afternoon.
