Chapter 1786: We're Moving Again

~4 min read 735 words

Not until the three little boys had played themselves out did they head back.

Hearing the commotion, Auntie Wei and the others rushed out, saw that the three little ones had actually fallen asleep, and hurried forward to take them: "Looks like they had a great time today; they're so tired they've fallen asleep."

Chuxue smiled: "If Yan Cheng hadn't been close to his reporting time, these three little rascals wouldn't have wanted to come back."

Fu Yan Cheng carried Fu Bao into the room, set the child down, and said: "Once the paperwork for the house over there is done, I'll have someone build a rain shelter in the front courtyard. Then we'll put up two slides and a seesaw for them, and install a swing for Le Bao. By then, the three of them will have plenty to play with even when they're home alone."

Chuxue raised no objections; after all, the courtyard over there was quite large: "Fine, I'll leave it to you."

The three little ones never expected that their tantrum today would actually bring them a benefit, even winning them a small play courtyard.

Fu Yan Cheng left with the chili sauce and meat sauce Auntie Wei had prepared for him, instructing Chuxue to call him once everything was settled so he could arrange the next steps.

After Fu Yan Cheng left, Auntie Wei finally understood: "We're moving again?"

Chuxue nodded lightly: "Yes. The new place is only about ten minutes from the school, so I won't have to get up so early every day. However, Wenbin's route to school will be a bit longer than it is now."

"But I've already arranged for him to attend the school over there. Hasn't he always wanted to skip a grade? This will be the perfect chance to try."

Wenbin, who had just heard this, exclaimed: "Really? I can skip a grade?"

Previously, Auntie Wei had always blocked him from skipping a grade, fearing he would miss key knowledge points and his grades would drop. But seeing her grandson's excitement, she could no longer bring herself to refuse.

On Monday, Chuxue specifically took leave and arrived early at the house. Zhang Xiangyang's wife, this aunt, was a straightforward person; Chuxue felt an instant rapport upon meeting her and learned that her family originally came from Jin City, and the house had been intended for her son.

Thinking that once they had children they would come over to help with childcare, meaning three generations would live there, they had bought a larger house.

Who would have thought that shortly after their son got married, his job transfer took him back to Jin City, leaving the house empty.

Renting it out worried them that tenants might not care for the property, so they had always asked the neighbors to keep an eye on it. But they couldn't rely on the neighbors forever, so they decided it was better to just sell it outright.

Given the connection through Zhang Xiangyang, the price they quoted was reasonable. Including the furniture, they asked for a round sum of ten thousand yuan.

Regarding the house price, Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng had discussed it yesterday. This offer was even lower than what they had discussed, so there were naturally no objections.

Because one party was sincerely buying and the other sincerely selling, all documents were in order, and with someone on their side at the Housing Bureau, the house changed hands before noon and was directly registered under Chuxue's name.

After the matter was settled, Chuxue gave the original owner a gift of tea: "I heard from Xiangyang that you and your husband enjoy tea. This is a small token of our appreciation."

The other party was not shy, accepted it graciously, and thanked them before they parted ways.

Chuxue immediately went to a phone booth to call Fu Yan Cheng: "Everything is settled. Contact someone to come measure the courtyard dimensions and have them start making the items needed for the little playground as soon as possible."

Fu Yan Cheng was very happy to hear everything was settled; this meant his wife could sleep a bit longer: "Fine, I'll contact them right now and have them go find you. Tell them any ideas you have, and try to get them to finish early so the little ones can play for a while before the cold sets in."
