Chapter 77
Your Little Friend Is Troubled (2)
Jiang Xing also wanted to clean up by himself first before letting his family come here to live, but he only lasted for a short while before giving up.
But in the end, Jiang Xing could not escape the fate of having to put in work as well.
Although he was a man, he probably wouldn’t need to do housework if he had been in someone else’s house. Jiang Xing was lazy, so he wouldn’t do it if he didn’t have to.
But with Jiang Xiumei, he was not fated to live a carefree life. He had to contribute with everything. After some hard work, the rooms were cleaned up reasonably, just barely passable for them to spend the night in.
Jiang Xing was so tired that he was moaning while lying in bed.
Jiang Xing woke up very early the next day. He was afraid that Jiang Xiumei and Jiang Xiaoman would not have anything to eat for breakfast, so he got up early and went to the shop at the end of the street that sold breakfast. He brought back a bag of buns and two cups of soy milk and waited for them to wake up and eat breakfast.
There were still many corners of the house that needed to be cleaned up. Jiang Xing did not go back to sleep and started getting busy. Walls that were cracked like a turtle’s shell, moldy and decaying cabinets, chairs, etc. There were all kinds of things that needed to be repaired, and he could only do them, the only man there.
But there were too many things to do, and he couldn’t finish them all alone in a short time, so he only repaired them perfunctorily.
He nailed a piece of wood for the crooked cabinet to it so it could stand up straight.
The chair was broken beyond repair, so might as well turn it into firewood… No, there were no heated brick beds here. He still had to go out to buy a can of gas.
Eh, why were things so complicated? This was really not a life fit for humans.
After doing it for just a short while, Jiang Xing did not want to keep doing it anymore, so he put down his tools and took a break.
Jiang Xiaoman, who woke up on time with her sharp biological clock, immediately ran over when she saw him. She beat his back while saying, ‘Uncle, are you tired?’. It was deathly sweet.
“How was your sleep last night?” Jiang Xing asked her.
The conditions were very simple and barren. Even Jiang Xing was only making do with his sleep. The little girl usually couldn’t sleep in an unfamiliar bed; he wasn’t sure if she managed to get used to sleeping here.
“It was okay.” Jiang Xiaoman said. “Grandma hugged me to sleep all night. Her arms were warm.”
Jiang Xing was relieved and stuffed a bun in her mouth. He was about to continue working when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He took out his cell phone and called Yu Wencheng.
Yu Wencheng was his business partner and could also be considered half his teacher. He hadn’t talked to him about such a big matter as moving to the city.
The call soon connected.
Yu Wencheng’s voice sounded a little heavy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
“What’s wrong, Jiang Xing? Was there something urgent to deal with in the mine?”
“No, no,” Jiang Xing waved his hand again and again, “I just moved to the city yesterday. I was searching for a house before, and now it’s all been settled. After thinking about it, I should tell you that there are already people taking care of the matters at the mine. Everything will be okay; my brothers are very reliable. You can rest assured with them handling the logistics fleet.”
Yu Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his brows. Is that it? You moving to a new house is a joyous occasion. I should come to congratulate you, but I… I really can’t go right now, so I will have to find another time.”
Jiang Xing looked at the dilapidated courtyard and immediately said, “No need, no need, hahaha. There’s really nothing to congratulate. Let’s talk about it another time, another time…”
He was a bit worried in his heart.
How would he receive guests with the house as it was? Aiyo, school district house, fucking school district house. Expensive.
