Lin Shuyi poured Lao Yangtou a glass of water, Lao Yangtou took it, and then spoke slowly.
It turned out that the house that Yang Jianguo and Yang Xiao were talking about was the house where old Yangtou lived now.
This house was bought by Old Yangtou and his wife together. Before Yang Jianguo bought a house in the city, he also lived in this house. Old Yangtou’s wife died early, and only Old Yangtou was left. The house carries all the memories of Old Yang and his wife. Everything in the house is old. In the eyes of others, this is an old house of little value, but to Old Yang, it is the only thing that can let him I miss my wife's place well.
Originally, when Yang Jianguo's family asked him to live in the city for two days, he was very happy. After all, they had moved to the city for so long, but they never said such a thing. When they went, the daughter-in-law was always smiling and serving tea The person who poured the water seemed affectionate, and Old Yang thought that he could finally live together and chat together, but the next day at the dinner table, his daughter-in-law made a lot of flirts with Yang Jianguo, and Yang Jianguo started talking about selling the house .
Old Yangtou's own son knows that he has been obedient since he was a child, but there is only one thing wrong with him, that is, he is weak and has no opinions. Old Yangtou's daughter-in-law has been strong since entering the house. Yang Jianguo basically listens to her in everything, Lao Yangtou thinks Living with the young couple, whoever listens to whoever they say is the same, and he has never said a word. He always feels that his daughter-in-law is strong and has a good heart, so although he always picks on him, Lao Yangtou never I said something bad about her. Later, when my daughter-in-law said that she didn’t want to live at home and wanted to buy a house in the city, although Lao Yang was reluctant for them to leave, he still took out all his savings and chipped in for them to pay for it. Although they didn't mention the down payment and going to live in the city, Lao Yang didn't think about it himself. The reason is that because of this house, Lao Yang couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear to leave this house. It's like being abandoned here alone, which makes Lao Yang feel uncomfortable.
Yang Jianguo said that his daughter-in-law had taken a fancy to a store in the city and wanted to open a beauty salon. Old Yang's daughter-in-law had studied beauty for several years, but she had been staying at home with her children since she got married. I went out to work, and when Yang Xiao grew up, my daughter-in-law didn't want to go to work to see other people's faces, so she wanted to open a shop and be the boss. She just learned about beauty, and she heard people say that beauty salons are making money recently, so I put my mind on this, but she doesn't go to work, and the living expenses of the family depend on Yang Jianguo alone. Although there is no need to worry about life, if you open a beauty salon, you can't count on it at all. Old Yangtou's house, so Yang Jianguo was asked to tell Lao Yangtou.
Old Yangtou naturally disagreed, not to mention that this house is of great significance to him, but even the idea of opening a beauty salon, Old Yangtou didn't really support it, not because he looked down on his daughter-in-law so much, It's just that his daughter-in-law has been idle at home for so many years, has never done anything, and doesn't even know how deep the water is in this industry. To open a shop and become the boss, Old Yang felt that it was really unfeasible.
After tactfully refusing at the dinner table, Lao Yang found that his daughter-in-law's expression turned ugly all of a sudden, and after showing her face for a whole day, he finally threw a bowl with Lao Yang during the meal at noon on the third day.
Yang Jianguo was scolded after saying a few words in a low voice, and old Yang came back from the city with an ugly face, and didn't even bother to eat.
Originally thought that the matter of him coming back would be over, but who knew that Yang Jianguo would actually find his family, and this time he even brought Yang Xiao with him.
"This house, I originally wanted to leave it to them, but what I thought was that after I die, now that I'm still alive, I can't let them sell this house. This is me and his mother We worked so hard to save money to buy it, and it contains the memories of our whole life, how can we just sell it like this." Old Yang Tou said as if he remembered the past, his eyes were a little red, Lin Shu Yi hurriedly handed over a piece of paper, and Lao Yang took it and squeezed it in the palm of his hand, and said, "My son is soft-hearted, but how can this house be sold as soon as it is sold?"
Shen Fu stood aside and didn't speak, there was no room for them to speak about this matter, what's more, no matter how much they said about this matter, it was mainly based on what Old Yang meant.
Lin Shuyi obviously understood this truth, so he just stretched out his hand to pat Old Yang's head on the back, and didn't say anything.
After Old Yang finished what he wanted to say, he finally felt better. These days, this matter has always been kept in his heart, and now it is easier to say it. Anyway, he is determined not to sell this house, and It doesn't matter what they say.
"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things, I've said it like this, Jianguo and Xiao Xiao won't come if I want to come."
Old Yang said it pretending to be relaxed, but everyone could see that the fact that his son finally asked him to live in the house was actually a matter of selling the house. Old Yang was actually very hurt. He didn't care about money, but this He really didn't want to and couldn't sell the house.
Lin Shu thought that Old Yang had finished speaking, so he interrupted and handed the Oden that he just bought to Old Yang.
"Grandpa, we bought it outside, you can try it."
Shen Fu also smiled, "Yeah, he put too much chili pepper, his face turned red when he ate it, grandpa, look, it's still red now."
Lin Shuyi cooperated rarely with Shen Fu to lift his face up and told Lao Yang to look at it.
Old Yang knew that the two of them were just trying to tease him, so he forced his lips together, "Clean up the store and open the door. We scared away the few customers who came today." truth.
Shen Fu and Lin Shuyi helped to clean and disinfect the chopsticks basket that Yang Xiao had knocked over, wiped off the spilled water on the table, and mopped the floor again before opening for business.
The conversation is divided into two parts, let's talk about Yang Jianguo and Yang Xiao who were rejected by their father.
In fact, Yang Jianguo originally disagreed with his wife's idea. His mother died early, and Yang Jianguo naturally knew what the house meant to Old Yang, so he didn't agree with this idea at the beginning.
It's just that he is too timid and cowardly, so timid that he knows that this idea is wrong, but he still dare not say a word of irony to his wife. He has never had any status in the family. Zhao Xuemei said one thing and he dare not say the other. I was afraid that Zhao Xuemei would be even more angry after I refuted it. She cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. The second was because she was afraid that it would be shameful. If Zhao Xuemei was louder at home, he would have to think about what he did wrong. Anyway, he was spineless. Yang Jianguo himself Know.
But I know that Gui knows that Zhao Xuemei has been strong all his life, and he has been timid all his life. He has long been used to obeying Zhao Xuemei's orders in everything, so even if he knows that this idea will not be agreed by Lao Yang, he still has to bite the bullet and say .
Being rejected by Old Yang was a matter of course, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Xuemei didn't give up at all.
"No! Tell him again! What's so great about a dilapidated house? It can't be sold, can it? Zhao Jianguo, let me tell you, I've been interested in that shop for a long time anyway, and the price has been negotiated with others. , After passing this village, this store will disappear, if you can't make up the money, I will never end with you!"
Even Yang Xiao is on his mother's side.
"Yeah, Dad, isn't it just a house? What's the big deal, the big deal is to ask grandpa to move in with us in the future. We don't care about him, why are we guarding a dilapidated house like a baby? And that noodle shop, it’s so poor, how much money can it make…”
Yang Jianguo glared at Yang Xiao, "Shut up!"
Zhao Xuemei stood up in a huff, "Shut up, what is Xiao Xiao saying wrong? I have opened a restaurant for so many years, and I can't even afford a house, and the down payment has to be scraped together and borrowed from my natal family." He paid more than 50,000 yuan, but he still insisted on not selling that house, I said hello, someone wants it now, if two years later, no one wants to sell his crappy house!"
Thinking of the conversations that happened at home a few days ago, Yang Jianguo felt a headache. He might be scolded by Zhao Xuemei again when he went back.
Yang Xiao was still swearing there, although he wasn't talking about his grandfather, "Where did those two come from? It's our turn to take care of our own family affairs. How dare you do anything to me? If it wasn't for Dad, stop him!" Come on, I must kill him!"
Yang Jianguo stared, "Stop talking! Where did you learn these nonsense words?"
Seeing Yang Jianguo glaring at him, Yang Xiao finally restrained himself a bit, but he was still a little reluctant, "Grandpa is really, he didn't want to sell the house and even called two outsiders. Am I still his grandson?"
Yang Jianguo rubbed his head, "Stop talking, that house is different to your grandfather."
Yang Xiao frowned, "What's the difference? Isn't grandma bought it with him? But grandma is dead, and we are not allowed to sell the house. If you don't sell grandma, she won't come back..."
Yang Jianguo immediately became angry, "Why are you talking?"
Yang Xiao turned his head and said in a low voice, "That's right."
Yang Xiao was already twenty-two, but Yang Jianguo was busy with work and didn't take much care of him. He had always been taught by Zhao Xuemei, so Yang Xiao's temper could be regarded as Zhao Xuemei's true biography. Yang Xiao did something wrong, not to mention hitting him, even if he scolded a few more words, Zhao Xuemei would confront him with a sharp voice, and Yang Jianguo didn't even bother to control him day after day, which taught Yang Xiao his current temper.
The two returned home with their own thoughts. Zhao Xuemei was cooking, and when she saw the two coming in, she asked, "How is it? Is it settled?"
Yang Jianguo shook his head, "Dad still disagrees."
Zhao Xuemei threw the pot on the gas stove with a "bang", strode out, her voice was a few degrees high, "What? Disagree?"
Yang Xiao then came in and said while changing his shoes, "It's not just disagreement, grandpa got very angry today, and even called two outsiders to drive me and dad back."
Zhao Xuemei's whole face was darkened, and she put her finger on his nose as Yang Jianguo thought, "Yang Jianguo, you are such a good dad, a broken house is protected like a baby, when we bought a house back then He refused to sell it, so he scraped together a down payment and let it go. Now I want to open a beauty salon, and the house is all promising, but he still refuses to sell it. Why keep it? Who else would he want to give it to Xiao Xiao? "
Yang Jianguo explained helplessly, "That's not the case, he bought that house with my mother..."
Zhao Xuemei interrupted him with a sharp voice, "What's wrong with buying together? It's great to buy together. Do you want to say that this house belongs to your father and not ours? Let me tell you, Yang Jianguo, that I married into your family so much. Over the years, what has he done for us? Don’t mention us, even Xiao Xiao hasn’t tried his best to be a grandfather! Now he is reluctant to sell the house, and don’t come into our door again in the future!”
Then he turned his head and asked Yang Xiao, "You mean an outsider? What outsider?"
Yang Xiao shook his head, "I don't know, it's just two men, I don't know if they are waiters at Grandpa's place or something, they are very courageous, and they want to fight with me." Obviously he wanted to push others, but now But he turned the truth upside down and said that others wanted to fight him.
Zhao Xuemei snorted coldly with a pale face, "How can a noodle restaurant like him afford to hire a waiter? How old is he? How dare he fight with you?"
"It's not big, the little one is a little younger than me, and it's very kind to call each other grandpa."
Zhao Xuemei squinted at Yang Jianguo, "Could it be that your father gave birth to a wild seed somewhere before?"
Yang Jianguo trembled with anger, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Seeing that Yang Jianguo's face was livid, Zhao Xuemei snorted, "I'm just kidding, why are you excited? Who told him to dare to fight with Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, let's go, serve the meal." Turning around while walking, "Yang Jianguo, anyway, let me say that I am here first. I must open this beauty salon. As for the money, you can find a way. If your father is reluctant to sell the house, tell him not to call us again."
