Chapter 128 Is this the useless snack Mom was talking about?

"???" Qiao Changdong.

Does his daughter think he's so useless?

"!!!" Meng Zhengcheng.

Wow, my darling!

"What...what...is this?" Xiang Dongyan, who was seeing the little bubble for the first time, was so surprised that it took her a long time to utter a complete sentence.

Pei Yiyang stared in astonishment at the little girl's forehead, then a faint smile appeared on his lips as he thought of something.

"Ahem... Sister-in-law, this is not important, not important, really not important."

"The more important thing now is, Dongzi, what are you going to do? Run?"

Meng Zhengcheng put his hand in front of his mouth, coughed, and gave Xiang Dongyan a lecture, telling her that this was not important at all, really not important, and there was no need to make a fuss. Then he naturally asked Qiao Changdong.

"???" Xiang Dongyan.

Is it unimportant?

My brain is bubbling with excitement, and it still doesn't matter?

Xiang Dongyan was trying to find this very important evidence, and she looked at her son.

But her son simply reached out and gently stroked the little girl's messy tuft of hair that was sticking up because she had just woken up. His eyes showed nothing but a gentle smile.

"..." Xiang Dongyan.

I started to doubt myself.

perhaps.

possible.

Is she really making a big fuss over nothing?

Is having a brain bubble not such an important thing?

After this mental preparation, Xiang Dongyan was successfully brainwashed. But that's not important, not important at all!

She offered, "Why don't you stay at my place for a couple of days and see how things go before making any plans?"

"In this freezing weather, you can't hide anywhere."

Of course, what Xiang Dongyan meant was that if the Shen family really wanted to forcibly take someone away, the Qiao family would be no match for them given their current power.

Moreover, not only Shen Qingyan from the Shen family came, but even Yan Liti came, which shows how much they value Qiao Qiao.

They probably won't do anything to the girl.

In the end, Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao had no choice but to go to the Pei family first.

They had known the Pei family for over a month, and the two families had been visiting each other frequently. Xiang Dongyan would often run to Qiaojia Village, but this was the first time the father and daughter had come to the Pei family.

The Pei family lived in a small building with a courtyard.

Unlike some families nowadays, even those who build small houses still have the most basic red brick exterior walls.

The entire exterior wall of the Pei family's house was coated with a layer of white putty.

The wall facing the street is inlaid with several light green paving tiles, which, from a distance, look like several green diamonds, and are quite pretty.

The yard is also large.

A white brick path divides the area into two sides, with some flowers and plants on one side and some small vegetables on the other.

However, the flowers and plants are growing well. Although they are withering seasonally now, you can tell from the thick trunks that they are well maintained.

On the contrary, all the vegetables were sparse and looked malnourished.

Seeing everyone staring at her malnourished vegetable patch, Xiang Dongyan explained embarrassedly, "I'm not very good at growing this, I'm sorry you all had to laugh at me."

She opened the waist-high courtyard gate and called out.

"Sister Yang, Aunt Wu, come out and greet us."

Then, two women hurriedly came out of the house.

"This is the nanny we hired, this is Sister Yang, and this is Aunt Wu." After giving a brief introduction, Xiang Dongyan invited them into the house.

"Is there a heater in this house?" Qiao Changdong carried Qiao Qiao into the house, felt the heat inside, glanced around, and finally pointed to a large iron stove in the center of the living room and three iron pipe chimneys radiating outwards, asking.

He had seen this before when he went to the north to deliver goods.

But this was the first time he had seen it in the south.

"Yes, I had it modified a bit. It was just installed this year. Doesn't it look alright?" Xiang Dongyan said with a smile and a nod.

From the moment she decided to bring Pei Yiyang back, she had someone install this.

Meng Zhengcheng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's quite warm. How much does it cost?"

Although it wasn't as warm as the heating in a hotel, the temperature was still over ten degrees Celsius, and you could feel the heat coming from the iron stove.

He was thinking that if it was suitable, he would also install it on his chubby son.

"The entire renovation cost nearly 10,000 yuan," said Xiang Dongyan.

Because the entire house needed renovation, including not just this one iron stove, but a total of six stoves throughout the house, the cost was quite high.

Moreover, this is powered by coal, so the expenses will only increase in the future.

"..." Meng Zhengcheng originally thought of getting one for his little brat as well, but now it seems that his chubby little brat doesn't deserve it!

“That’s great. Sister-in-law, who renovated this place for you? Could you introduce me to them? I’m planning to move out this year too,” Qiao Changdong said.

He originally had two options.

One option was to buy a plot of land in town and build a house, while the other was to buy a room in the tenement building where Qiao Xiaoyun lived.

But now it seems...

The former is more feasible.

Those tenement buildings were really inconvenient, to be honest.

Going to the toilet, taking a shower, and cooking all require going downstairs to the communal kitchen and public bathrooms, which is a hassle just thinking about it.

But building your own house is a different story.

It's so much more comfortable to live alone behind closed doors.

With this heating system, his daughter won't be afraid of the cold anymore!

but--

"Let's think about what to do with the Shen family now." Meng Zhengcheng looked at the darkening sky outside and poured cold water on the situation: "They're probably already waiting in Qiaojia Village, just waiting for you to come to them."
