Chapter 70 Convincing the Family

"Dongzi, Dongzi, you haven't promised grandpa yet!" Tong Zhenghao interrupted eagerly.He dreamed that Dongzi would live in his house, and he could tell by looking at the dishes tonight, as long as Dongzi lived in his house, the taste of the dishes in the future would definitely be good.

Xin Andong, who was caught in surprise, was interrupted by him for a moment, and then realized that Grandpa Tong invited him to live in Tong's house just now.

Indeed, if the shop becomes his family, the current few rooms are definitely not enough for people to live in, and renovation is inevitable, but at present, the house has not been handed over, and he really doesn't like living in other people's houses, it's too awkward up.

So, he refused with a smile and said, "It's my honor that Grandpa Tong likes the dishes I cook. As long as I have time, I will be happy to cook for you, but it doesn't matter if you live here. Grandpa knows the situation at home, mother and My sisters are all female generation, so I am really worried."

When everyone heard this, they showed regretful expressions.

The three elder sisters in Xin Andong's family, apart from his father and grandfather, only he is a male. His grandfather is in the country, and his father's intelligence is limited. It was Dongzi who first came up with the business of the lobster restaurant, and he has always taken care of it. I know, so when I think about it, I know that Dongzi is right, his family really can't do without him.

Grandpa Tong took pity on him, nodded and said, "It's hard for you to take care of the family as a child, okay, grandpa won't force others to do it, but if you have any difficulties, just say it, your brother Zong can always help."

Grandpa Tong pushed out his grandson unceremoniously. It's really that An Dong is a kind of pitiful child, and he likes him very much, and he is willing to help him.

Jiang Xuanzong, who was pushed out, was not angry at all. He glanced at Xin Andong and said nothing, but his attitude was gentle, obviously agreeing with Mr. Tong's words.

Xin Andong was full of surprises. If Brother Zong, the second in command in the county, could be his backer, he would naturally be flattered, but he is very self-aware. There are too many tigers in later generations. Although Brother Zong is an official with integrity, Xin Andong really does not Let yourself be the opponent's handle.

So even though he said thank you, he had already made up his mind unless it was best not to trouble Brother Zong in the future.

Hearing that Dongzi couldn't live in his house for a long time, Tong Zhenghao didn't mention how disappointed he was, but it was useless to lose any more. After this year, he would be fifteen, and a sensible person must be unreasonable, so although he was lost, he also Fortunately, and Dongzi also said that he was willing to cook for him in the future, Tong Zhenghao felt a lot better.

Thinking that Dongzi was going to stay overnight tonight, he must be sleeping with him, Tong Zhenghao hurriedly dragged Xin Andong away after dinner, went to the room and took out the game console, and wanted to play games with Xin Andong.

It was a New Year’s gift from Tong Zhenghao’s parents who were far away abroad. Tong Zhenghao’s was the latest game console, which could be used for two-player sparring. It's a pleasure to send you an expensive gift.

Xin Andong doesn't like playing games very much. In his previous life, many boys were obsessed with online games, not to mention the retro game console with a handle in front of him. He really has no interest in it.

But Tong Zhenghao refused to give up, so he had no choice but to give up his life to play with the gentleman. Who knew that after playing for a while, Xin Andong, the handicapped party, was disliked by Tong Zhenghao, and Tong Zhenghao would not be happy even if Xin Andong was willing. , Said that it was boring to play with him, and it was too easy to win, so they had to throw away the game console, and the two went back to the living room downstairs to watch TV.

The Tong family is a 21-inch color TV in this era. The picture is still clear and the colors are bright. When Tong Zhenghao and Xin Andong went downstairs, Mr. Tong and Tong Xiaoyu were watching TV intently. mouth, Xin Andong knew that the two of them were watching Journey to the West again.

It is said that Journey to the West was piloted in July last year, and it is still on the air in 7. From the 80-year-old old man down to the talking kid of two or three years old, there is no one who is not crazy about Monkey King.Xin Andong knew that Journey to the West would still be an enduring and beloved classic TV series in the next [-] years, so he didn't feel so strange.

Although Grandpa Tong loves to read Journey to the West, he is old and mentally weak. When he saw eight o'clock, his eyelids were about to droop, so Tong Xiaoyu helped him back to his room to rest.Both Tong Zhenghao and Xin Andong had read Journey to the West, and it was cold in winter, so Xin Andong's hands and feet became a little cold after sitting in the living room, so they went back to the room with Tong Zhenghao to go to bed early.

After finishing his business, Jiang Xuanzong rubbed his temples and went downstairs, only to find that the living room was dark. He originally planned to sit with Mr. Tong, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.

In Tong Zhenghao's room, Xin Andong and him were sleeping at the other end, and were about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" At this moment, both of them took off their cotton sweaters and cotton wool trousers. It was too cold, and Tong Zhenghao didn't want to get up to open the door, so he said impatiently, "The door is not locked."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a click.

Xin Andong looked up in a daze, and saw Jiang Xuanzong came in with a thick quilt in his arms, and said to him, "Zhenghao has no rules when he sleeps and likes to kick the quilt. I'll bring you a quilt. You each build a bed and sleep separately. Put the other bed over it, it will be warmer."

Xin Andong's eyes lit up, Tong Zhenghao has no rules when sleeping, he has a personal experience, and he not only kicks the quilt, but also likes to kick people. To be honest, one of the reasons why he doesn't want to live in Tong's house is that Tong Zhenghao sleeps very poorly.

Forget it in summer, it’s nothing to be kicked off the quilt, but in winter, if the quilt is thrown off, you won’t notice if you sleep drowsy, and you may catch a cold the next day.

"Thank you, Brother Zong!" Brother Zong really won his heart, Xin Andong hurriedly sat up, ignoring that he was only wearing a thin cotton sweater, and reached out to take the quilt to make the bed by himself.

"Sit in the quilt and don't move, I'll spread the quilt for you." Knowing that he was weak, Jiang Xuanzong stopped him, and then lowered his head to spread the quilt for him.

Fortunately, Tong Zhenghao's bed is big enough, and it is safe to let go of the two quilts. Jiang Xuanzong carefully rolled up the quilt, and when Xin Andong couldn't wait to get in, he smiled and covered the two beds with another thick quilt. On the quilt, straightened up after finishing it, patted his quilt, and asked, "How is it, is it warm?"

The quilt he brought was his own, relatively large, and the cotton inside was relatively new. It was a new quilt made last year. Even though Jiang Xuanzong himself had never slept on it, it was naturally extremely warm.

This may be the softest and warmest cotton quilt that Xin Andong has ever slept on since he came here, naturally it is extremely soft and comfortable, he nodded, his snow-white face sank into the quilt, rubbed it with enjoyment, and then nodded, "It's so warm. "

"It's good to be warm." After finishing speaking, he raised the corner of his mouth and took out another object from his arms. Before Xin Andong could react, he stuffed it into the bed for him. Xin Andong's somewhat cold feet touched a warm one in an instant. The thing, he opened his eyes wide, is a hot water bottle!

Only then did he notice that Brother Zong was wearing a thick padded jacket, and he put the hot water bottle in his arms just now, no wonder he didn't see it.

Jiang Xuanzong saw the cute look of surprise flashing across his eyes, couldn't help but patted his head, and said in a gentle voice, "Go to bed early."

After he left, Xin Andong was excited and happy, rolling around with the quilt rolled up, and then Tong Zhenghao, who had eaten the guts of a leopard, kicked him rudely through the quilt, and said in a sour tone, "Hmph, it's almost done, That's still my cousin, and I haven't seen a hot water bottle for me!"

Don't think he didn't see it, my cousin is really eccentric, and he didn't say he was close to his cousin even if he had a hot water bottle!

Tong Zhenghao is indeed a little envious. It's not that he can't see how his cousin treats Dongzi well. It's just that he is stricter than his cousin. He doesn't allow this or that, but he doesn't feel at ease even if he takes care of Dongzi. The gap between the two is too big. , I can't tolerate him not feeling a little awkward.

Although Brother Zong was kind to him, Xin Andong was happy, but he had to kindly sprinkle salt on Tong Xiaonian's wound, so he didn't care that he kicked himself, and comforted him by saying, "Brother Zong must be I filled the hot water bottle because of my poor physique, you see, is there any angry guy like you who needs a hot water bottle, this is a special case for me.”

Although he didn't want to admit it, he did have a body comparable to sister Lin's, and a hot water bottle was really essential.

Hearing what he said, Tong Zhenghao thought about it, and immediately felt much more comfortable, and snorted obediently after getting a bargain, "Who made you look like a weak chicken at such a young age!"

Weak chicken?Xin Andong gritted his teeth, stretched out his foot and gave Tong Zhenghao a hard kick, which hit his ass. Tong Zhenghao was kicked so hard that his head hit the bedside table, and there was a loud bang. He screamed and complained, "Hey! Yo, it hurts me to death, Dongzi, you can't lighten your feet!"

Can't take it lightly!To say that he is a weak chicken, just kicking him would be considered cheap, and dare to have an opinion, Xin Andong rolled up the quilt and closed his eyes, "Sleep!"

The sleeping episode passed, and the night was sweet and dreamy. The next day, Xin Andong got up early to make breakfast. It was thick preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which was very salty and fragrant, and Tong's family liked it very much.

After breakfast, he was ready to go back to the shop. After all, the business of the shop had been settled, but he hadn't discussed it with his parents yet. Buying a house was a big family matter. He couldn't make the decision alone. He discussed it with Brother Zong and found a time to discuss it in the afternoon. After paying the price, he left in a hurry.

Back at the store, both parents had already woken up, and the family was eating noodles. Seeing him come back, Xin Wenfang immediately asked, "Have you had breakfast? Mom will serve you a bowl?"

Xin Andong waved his hand, "After drinking two bowls of porridge, I'm very full and don't want to eat. Mom, you can eat. I'll discuss something with you later."

Hearing that his son said that he had eaten Xin Wenfang, he felt relieved, and heard that there was something to discuss. After Xin Wenfang was taken aback, he said, "Okay, Mom will finish eating quickly." to something important.

Everyone stepped up their eating speed, and quickly cleaned up the dishes.

Only then did Xin Andong explain what he wanted to buy a house, and emphasized that the original owner of our shop had already decided to sell the shop to them, and now it was up to Xin Wenfang to decide to buy it.

"Here," Xin Wenfang was a little stunned. She looked at her son at a loss and asked, "Our house is fine. Why do we need to buy a shop? The rent is only 25 a month. It would cost thousands of dollars to buy!"

There are thousands of 25 pairs, and the psychological gap is too great!

Moreover, there are houses in the village. Subconsciously, Xin Wenfang doesn't want to spend extra money to buy a house. She feels that it is a bit wasteful, and she feels extremely pained and reluctant to spend a large sum of money all at once, but well, there must be a reason for his son's decision. Xin Wenfang believes it, so she is now in a state of entanglement and hesitation, reluctant but unable to veto it outright.

Xin Andong thought that his mother would not be able to agree straight away, so he sighed, but he couldn't tell her that housing prices would rise rapidly in the future, and he would not be able to afford it if he didn't buy it now, so he had no choice but to say, "Living in someone else's house is definitely better than living in your own house." It’s different. After buying it, this is our home, and we can’t live in it now. We can’t live in the same room all the time. The sisters have to suffer. If we buy it, the backyard is not small. , our family can consider building two more bungalows, what do you think, Mom?"

What does Xin Wenfang think?She felt that her son was too thoughtful and appropriate!

Before, I thought buying a house was not a good deal, but when I said this, Xin Wenfang was willing to buy a shop even if she spent a lot of money!What her son said was good, other people's houses are not as comfortable as her own. She also thought that if the head of the household wants to return to the shop in the future, their lobster restaurant is so popular here, they will not have to move the place, right?If the shop becomes their own, no one will drive them away even if they take root for a lifetime!

There is also the problem of accommodation. The family has a large population, and the three daughters are all grown up. One room must not be able to live in one room, or the son feels sorry for his three sisters. Knowing that they want to build a house, Xin Wenfang was excited, slapped her thigh, and her eyes flashed Resolute, "Son is right, buy it! You can buy it for as much as you spend in this shop!"

The mother finally agreed, and Xin Andong, who thought he would spend more time talking, finally showed a satisfied smile.
