Chapter 1009: Do You Know How to Speak?

Fu Yan Cheng saw him come to his senses and said in a low, lingering tone, "Regardless of the reason, isn't it enough that she has come? What, do you not want her to join the army?"

Shen Kaiyuan jumped back a full three feet: "Stop talking nonsense. Even in my dreams, I hope Ruhu would agree to join the army."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at him sideways: "That's right then. Our goals are the same. If we can get them to agree to come, is there a problem with treating it as a cooperation?"

Shen Kaiyuan laughed outright: "That actually makes sense. It seems our getting along is just a case of birds of a feather flocking together."

Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng said with disdain, "Do you know how to speak?"

Seeing his disdainful expression, Shen Kaiyuan gave an awkward smile: "Fine, fine, fine. It was just improper wording on my part, alright?"

He composed his expression and then spoke of the real matter: "Your luck is truly good. Just after being promoted, the housing you get should be more spacious."

Fu Yan Cheng pointed toward the single-story houses in the family compound: "The single-story house you applied for."

"What? You didn't choose the newly built apartment buildings, but chose a single-story house instead?"

"My daughter Xue doesn't like apartment buildings. She says where there are many people, there are many troubles. She prefers the quiet of a standalone courtyard."

Shen Kaiyuan thought for a moment; those words were indeed without fault.

Recalling the housewarming party he was invited to a few days ago, where he could hear the neighbor's child crying and adults scolding, it truly wasn't as comfortable as a standalone courtyard: "Where did you choose? Is there an empty room next door? Since our goals are the same, I will apply for a single-story house."

The corners of Fu Yan Cheng's mouth curled up slightly: "The house next to mine just happened to become empty. If you want it, you must act quickly. Although many families have moved up to the apartments, they might regret it after living there for a while."

At this, Shen Kaiyuan no longer cared whether Fu Yan Cheng had calculated something: "Fine. I will write the application tonight and submit it first thing tomorrow morning, striving to become your neighbor."

Fu Yan Cheng, having arranged everything, did not know that his second sister-in-law had set her sights on the cotton he had brought home to make wedding quilts: "Yanwei, since the procedures are done, there is no time to lose. Tomorrow you will go with Dad to the factory to handle the paperwork, to avoid complications arising from delay."

Fu Yanwei was in a very good mood: "Of course. Rest assured. I have also transferred your and my son's household registration back home. As long as my job is confirmed tomorrow, the household registration for our three of us can be settled."

As Hao Yanhong spoke, she was packing up the luggage Fu Yanwei had brought back from Huagu Village today.

Looking at the mattress ruined by her son's urine, she thought of the cotton in the fourth son's room: "Yanwei, look, the cotton in Jinze's small mattress has clumped together, and it smells of urine. We have returned to Huicheng, and since our son has grown up and wets the bed less, shouldn't we make him a new set?"

Hearing this, Fu Yanwei found himself in a dilemma: "We don't have cotton coupons. Even if Mom and Dad have some, they probably need to prioritize the fourth son's wedding. How about we wait? After I start work, I'll see if I can think of a way."

Hao Yanhong was displeased: "There is plenty of cotton in the fourth son's room. Just allocate some for our son. He is small; making a mattress won't require much cotton."

"We just returned to Huicheng. You wouldn't want someone to drop by, enter the room, and be hit by the smell of urine, would you?"

Fu Yanwei's expression darkened, but he did not agree immediately as before: "I must ask Mom about this first."

Hao Yanhong said happily: "What a big deal? You have confidence now that you've returned to Huicheng, and you don't take us mother and son seriously?"
