Chapter 898: I Don't Do Things That Bully Fools

When Zhou Andong returned to the hotel, Jian Qiu was already asleep, with Su Su lying beside her, the little one also sleeping soundly.

He entered the bathroom on tiptoe, and after washing up, he carefully lay down on the bed.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, but in a daze, he heard a crisp sound and felt a pain on his face.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw a small hand landing on his face once again.

Zhou Andong tilted his head and saw Su Su lying beside him, her small hand raised again.

"You stinky girl, daring to hit Daddy, let's see if I don't spank your bottom."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly and pulled the little girl into his arms, gently patting her bottom twice.

The little girl giggled, calling out, "Dad—dy, Daddy..."

Zhou Andong's heart melted, and he gave the little girl a fierce kiss on the face.

Hearing the commotion, Jian Qiu came out of the bathroom, wiping her wet hair with a towel. Seeing the father and daughter rolling and playing on the bed, she asked with a smile.

"When did she wake up?"

Zhou Andong lifted the little girl up, teasing the little one until her laughter didn't stop.

"I don't know either. I was sleeping soundly when I was hit awake by her."

Jian Qiu laughed, wrapped the towel around her hair, and picked up the little girl. "You go wash up; I'll dress her."

Zhou Andong got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. By the time he was done, Jian Qiu and the child were already dressed.

"Let's go!"

Zhou Andong carried Su Su as they walked out. The family of three arrived at the hospital, where the grandfather and grandmother had already arrived and were eating breakfast.

"Grandma, Grandpa!" Jian Qiu called out.

"Sit down and eat quickly!" The old lady pulled Jian Qiu to sit beside her.

Hearing the sound, the fourth sister ran out from the inner room. "Su Su, let Old Auntie hold you!"

"Go, go, go!" Zhou Andong shooed the fourth sister aside. "Can you even hold her!"

The fourth sister said unconvinced, "I can hold her."

"Bullshit!" Zhou Andong didn't bother with the fourth sister anymore and gave the child to Yuan Liying.

"Grandma, Grandpa, wait until I'm done with these few days, then I'll take you to stroll around the capital."

"Business is important!" The grandfather waved his hand. "You busy yourself; don't worry about us. Your mother can also take us for a walk nearby."

Zhou Andong picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. "Yuan Lu and Yuan Zhe haven't come over yet?"

"Those two lazybones, who knows when they'll wake up." The grandfather was a bit dissatisfied. "Before coming over, I went to knock on their door, but I couldn't wake them up."

"Slurp!" Zhou Andong drank a mouthful of cornmeal porridge. "That shouldn't be; Xiao Lu has always gotten up very early."

His words had just fallen when Yuan Zhe walked in from outside, yawning, followed by Yuan Lu.

"Still not awake?" Zhou Andong teased with a smile.

"I got up a long time ago." Yuan Lu complained, "I knocked on his door for a long time but couldn't wake him."

"It's not like there's anything to do, why get up so early." Yuan Zhe muttered and sat down at the table. "Actually, I heard her knocking, I just didn't want to get up."

Yuan Lu was so angry she gritted her teeth and picked up a steamed bun, taking a fierce bite.

Jian Qiu asked Zhou Andong, "What's on the agenda today?"

Zhou Andong finished the remaining porridge in his bowl and put down his chopsticks. "In the morning, I'll send off Jiang Huijun and the others, then go to Anqiu Hutong to take a look, and in the afternoon, I'll meet the person in charge of Arowana in the capital."

"I don't have anything to do either, I'll go with you to take a look."

"Fine!" Zhou Andong stood up and poured a glass of plain water. "Aren't you going home to take a look?"

Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong and blinked. "Are you going back with me?"

Zhou Andong thought for a moment. "Wait until I'm done with these few days, I'll first visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law. As for the capital side, wait until the Spring Festival when your family is all back, then I'll go meet them, and trade blows with your eldest uncle, third uncle, and two aunts."

Jian Qiu burst into laughter. "Aren't you going to trade blows with Jian Minglang?"

"Him?" Zhou Andong curled his lip and said with great disdain, "I, Zhou Andong, have always been upright and open; I never do things like hitting the blind, scolding the lame, or bullying fools."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at him, but a smile appeared on her face as she pondered the matter of going back to see the "Old Buddha."

After tidying up, the two left the hospital, and Wu Chao drove them to the Beijing Hotel first.

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu chatted with Jiang Huijun and the others, personally sent them out of the city, and then waved goodbye.

"Let's go, to Anqiu Hutong!"

………………

At this time, the underground engineering at Anqiu Hutong was already finished, and internal renovations were underway.

Every day, curious neighbors would come to take a look and express their opinions.

"Making the basement so big, good heavens, if people lived there, how many households would it hold."

"This basement is for parking, who told you to live there."

"Such a big place, how many cars can it park."

"It's said that these few courtyards in the front and back cost several million."

"Do you know who bought them?"

"Zhou Andong, you actually don't know!"

"These rich people are really different from what we think, spending so much money to buy these few broken courtyards."

"That's right, if I had that much money, I'd buy an elevator apartment where I could poop inside the house. No need to brave the rain to go to the public toilet to smell the stench in summer, and no need to freeze my butt in winter."

Laughter erupted. For them, escaping the crowded compound was a luxury, and living in an elevator apartment was a dream.

"Old Cricket, you sold your house, why do you always run here?"

Old Cricket propped his bicycle to the side and grinned, revealing teeth stained yellow by nicotine.

"It's not that I haven't seen you for two days, I missed all the neighbors!"

"Forget it!" An old man who was missing half his teeth said, "It must be that no one plays with you over there, that's why you always run here."

Old Cricket gave a thumbs up. "The old brother still sees it clearly. Although my daughter and son-in-law are filial, why can't I get used to living there? Especially since they go to work during the day and the children are taken care of by their grandparents, it's too boring for me alone."

"If you ask me, you shouldn't have sold that house." Another chubby old man said.

"Uncle Liu!" A young man squatting to the side smoking said, "If someone wanted to buy your courtyard, would you sell it?"

"Not selling!" The chubby old man looked very stubborn. "The house left by my ancestors cannot be ruined in my hands."

Old Cricket walked over with a smile, squatted beside the chubby old man, and took out his tobacco pouch.

"Brother Liu, come roll a pouch and smoke."

The chubby old man didn't stand on ceremony, took out cigarette paper from the tobacco pouch, and then pinched some tobacco leaves with his fingers and placed them on the paper.

"Brother Liu, your courtyard is even bigger than mine. If you want to sell it, I'll have a word with Zhou Andong. Based on my relationship with him, he will definitely give you a very fair price. Then take the money and buy an apartment, no problem at all."

"Not selling!" The chubby old man still said he wasn't selling, but his voice was much lower, and his momentum wasn't as strong as before. ===== CHAPTER 899 =====
