Chapter 57 New House
Chapter 57 New House
The cart carrying Wei Shuqing's family belongings shuttled back and forth on the street, emptying the small courtyard where Wang's mother had lived for half her life, and filling it with the two-story house that Wei Shuqing and Wang Chenan had just bought.
After two whole days of hard work, the whole family finally finished moving.
This time, Wei Shuhai and Wei Dasao finally brought their two sons with them. The two chubby boys also imitated the adults and kept moving one or two small items within their ability in and out.
It is said that nephews resemble their aunts. There is a shadow of Wei Shuqing in the eyes and eyebrows of these two boys.
Wei Shuqing also loved her two nephews very much. Whenever her nephews came to the city, she would always let them stay for a few more days, buy them some clothes, and take them out for a few meals.
So, when everything was almost settled, Wei Shuqing waved her hand and said, "Everyone has worked hard these past two days, and even the children have suffered with them. How about we go out for mutton hotpot today?"
"Really?!" Wei Shuqing's little nephew Erhu hugged Wei Shuqing's thighs, "Great, let's go out and eat mutton, thank you auntie."
Before Wei Shuqing married Wang Chenan, the Wei family seldom went to the city and had rarely eaten at a proper restaurant, let alone mutton hotpot.
Although Erhu had never eaten mutton hotpot, he was still very happy to know that he was going to eat meat because he likes eating meat.
Da Hu was a few years older than Er Hu and much calmer. He quickly went to pull his brother back: "Aunt just bought a house and needs money. Let's just have a quick bite and skip the meat."
He acted like a little adult and made all the adults present laugh.
Wei Shuqing quickly squatted down and pinched Dahu's little face: "It doesn't matter, auntie is rich and earns a salary! Dahu and Erhu are so well behaved, auntie will take you to eat meat!"
"Okay!" The two children were overjoyed, and the adults shook their heads and smiled helplessly. The whole family dressed neatly and set off directly.
In the hot pot restaurant, Wei Shuqing's whole family occupied the large round table in the center, filling the table completely.
Afraid that the children would not be used to the taste of mutton, she thoughtfully added two servings of beef in addition to mutton, vegetables, tofu and noodles.
The milky white soup in the hot pot rolls up and down, and the delicious flavor evaporates with the mist, which is so fragrant that it can make people fall over.
The red meat slices, green vegetables, black fungus, and white tofu are taken out of the soup and coated with sesame paste made with red fermented bean curd and green chives. Each one is simply wonderful in its own way.
Both adults and children were very satisfied with the meal.
Erhu said to Wei Shuqing happily, "Auntie, Auntie, this is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten!"
Wei Shuqing quickly picked up more mutton and put it into the bowls of her two nephews: "Eat more, auntie will bring you here to eat in the future!"
Through the smoke from the hot pot, Wei Shuqing seemed to see a familiar figure.
She looked closely and saw that it was Du Zhenzhen, who had pushed her out of her position in the Propaganda Department of the Red Star Steel Plant.
Opposite Du Zhenzhen, there sat a middle-aged man with a big belly. Judging from his age, the man should be Du Zhenzhen's father.
X City is really small. You can run into acquaintances even when you go out to eat mutton hotpot.
However, Wei Shuqing was not familiar with Du Zhenzhen, and she did not like Du Zhenzhen. She looked away and blended into the beautiful and harmonious atmosphere, chatting and laughing with her family.
"Come, wife, eat meat!"
Wang Chenan put another large spoonful of mutton directly into Wei Shuqing's bowl.
Wei Shuqing nodded, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Hmm, it smells so good!
On the way back, Wei Shuqing met an old acquaintance at the door of her house, Sun Yirong.
Unexpectedly, Sun Yirong actually lived across the street from her new home.
No wonder Du Zhenzhen was also eating hotpot at Dongtianshun, which was the nearest restaurant to this street.
The two of them greeted each other with forced smiles. Wei Shuqing turned to leave, but was stopped by Sun Yirong.
Sun Yirong was well-informed and had long known that Wei Shuqing had been transferred to work in the government office by Mayor Zhou.
She felt a little regretful. She had relied on her connections to completely offend Wei Shuqing. Who would have thought that Wei Shuqing actually had some ability to make Mayor Zhou look favorably upon her?
If Wei Shuqing were to say something bad about herself in front of Mayor Zhou, wouldn't all her years of hard work be wasted?!
Sun Yirong took Wei Shuqing's hand, eagerly speaking as if she had met a long-lost sister. "Little Wei, all that happened in the past was my fault. I forgot to consider your feelings after hearing a few soft words from my daughter-in-law. These past few days, my conscience has been burning like fire. Are you willing to give me a chance to atone for my sins and make it up to you?"
Wei Shuqing was not a fool either. She saw through Sun Yirong's little thoughts at a glance.
If Sun Yirong really had a conscience, she wouldn't have come to my house and forced me to give up my position.
Now that Sun Yirong has bowed to me, it simply means that I have also joined the agency and may work with her in the future.
"Director Sun is also doing this for the child." Wei Shuqing smiled and did not respond to Sun Yirong's words. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I still have to give the child a bath!"
She didn't want to swallow her anger just to curry favor with Sun Yirong.
Looking at Wei Shuqing's leaving back, Sun Yirong was stunned at first, and then couldn't help rolling her eyes.
She had already come to his house and begged for peace, but this Xiao Wei didn't give her any face at all!
You don't want to drink the toast, right? Well, let's see how she deals with this tactless guy in the future.
Wei Shuqing's new home has two floors, eight rooms, plus two small rooms facing the street, a total of ten rooms.
In addition to a living room, a dining room and a kitchen on the first floor, there are two spacious rooms, which were originally the studios of two professors.
Because the lighting was good and it was warm, Wei Shuqing simply planned them into two bedrooms for the elderly. Wang's mother slept in the east room with Niu Niu and Niu Niu, and Wei's father and mother slept in the west room.
There are four rooms upstairs. The original study was not moved much. The two old men did not take away the books and bookshelves. Wei Shuqing simply added tablecloths and some of Wang Chenan’s belongings, and this place became Wang Chenan’s private study.
Of the remaining three bedrooms, the one on the east side is the master bedroom for Wei Shuqing and Wang Chenan, and the remaining two are left for the two children respectively. When the children grow up in the future, they will each have a room.
In the evening, Wei Shuqing arranged for Wei Shuhai and his wife and two older nephews to live in the two rooms reserved for Niu Niu and Niu Niu respectively.
Sleeping in the sun-bathed quilt, Wei Shuqing felt extremely satisfied: "Chen An, the two small rooms facing the street can be left empty for now. I will have other arrangements when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Wang Chenan gave Wei Shuqing a kiss on the face.
The two were feeling affectionate when suddenly there was a noise outside the door.
"Du Zhenzhen, you are simply not a human being!"
