Chapter 253 A family of four, all together!

Actually, if she could, Yan Liti would like to buy Qiao Changdong a car.

However, there are no car dealerships in the city, and she figured that given Qiao Changdong's personality, he probably wouldn't accept the car, so she had to put the idea aside for the time being.

She planned to help furnish Qiao Changdong's house once it was finished. If Qiao Changdong refused, she would have a reason to persuade him, simply saying that it was for her beloved granddaughter.

The sidecar motorcycle wasn't cheap; it cost over 800 yuan.

After paying, Qiao Changdong didn't rush to ride off. Instead, he gave the shop an address and asked someone to deliver it before noon the next day.

He learned this when he was a hoodlum, so he didn't need to learn it again.

Since it was inconvenient for cars to enter the street where the building materials market was located, Qiao Changdong had his driver park the car outside.

The driver's name was Wang Jun. He was a retired soldier and was hired by Shen Qingyan specifically for his daughter. The car was an SUV, which was temporarily rented from a car dealership in Baoyi City.

Before getting off the bus, Qiao Changdong asked the driver, "Brother Wang Jun, are you going to get off with us and go sightseeing, or wait here for us? We might need to go sightseeing for two or three hours. Why don't you come with us and look around?"

“I’ll come with you, it’ll be good to take a walk.” Wang Jun is thirty years old and from the north. He used to be in Shen Qingyan’s unit, but he was injured and no longer suitable for high-intensity missions, so he was forced to retire.

After Qiao Qiao's accident last time, Shen Qingyan hired her with a high salary, and this time it came in handy.

Wang Jun used to be a reconnaissance soldier. He has excellent physical and mental qualities, as well as high physical fitness and combat skills. He is more than capable of protecting his daughter.

And so, Qiao Changdong, carrying his little one, walked into the department store with Qiao Changcai, Yan Liti, and Wang Jun.

Baoyi City is the capital city of Huajiang Province. There are department stores there that have everything, including imported goods. Because of this, most of the customers of the department stores are either rich or noble.

However, Jiangling City, where Hongfeng Town is located, does not have such a department store, only a large market.

This large market is divided into three streets.

The first street sells food and light daily necessities, such as clothes, shoes, pots and pans.

The second street sells furniture, both soft and hard furnishings.

The third street sells building materials, such as steel bars.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, all three streets are packed with people.

This means that such places are a mixed bag, with thieves, robbers, and even child predators all readily available.

Qiao Changdong naturally wouldn't let Qiao Qiao out of his sight. He pulled a hole in his general's coat and carried his son around inside.

“Aunt Yan, there are many thieves and robbers in this area. If you have any valuables, let my third brother or Brother Wang Jun help you carry them.”

Qiao Changdong knew that Yan Liti had never been to a place like this before, so he said to her before going in.

Yan Liti was looking at the streets in front of her with great interest when she heard this. She obediently handed her bag to Wang Jun, but also took out a few hundred yuan and put it in her pocket.

He then said to Wang Jun, "Thank you for your help. I'll just take this little bit so I can pay for anything the baby likes later."

"..." Qiao Changdong, Qiao Changcai, Wang Jun.

You call that thick stack of ten-yuan notes a "little bit"?

However, considering that they had just glanced at the bag and it contained at least ten or twenty thousand yuan, the three of them had to admit that the few hundred yuan was indeed just a small amount!

And so, the four adults and one child, the five of them, started strolling around the streets with a huge sum of money in their hands.

They started their stroll from the first street.

The first few shops on the first street are all selling flowers and plants.

Perhaps because the Lunar New Year is approaching, the flower and plant shops outside are displaying either money trees with small lanterns and red envelopes hanging on them, or trees laden with small oranges.

Hongfeng Town also produces oranges, but the oranges there are all large. This is the first time Qiao Qiao has seen an orange tree that is only the size of an adult's finger, but is bright red and particularly beautiful.

Especially those orange trees, which were only a little taller than her, were covered with small, bright orange tangerines, and they were really beautiful.

It's also festive.

"Back in Kyoto, every household would buy some of these. Does the baby like them? Shall we buy a few too?"

Yan Liti asked Qiao Qiao, who was staring intently at the orange tree, with a smile.

“Great! I love it. Let’s buy a couple more pots and put them at Aunt Xiang’s house, my aunt’s house, and my second aunt’s house,” Qiao Qiao said happily.

"Alright, then we'll buy ten. These have to be bought in pairs," Yan Liti said, beckoning the shopkeeper over.

"Ten trees?" Qiao Qiao looked at Yan Liti in confusion, counting them off one by one on her fingers: "Aunt Xiang, Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt in the village, where should we put the other two?"

Yan Liti smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret. The baby will find out in a few days."

Yan Liti didn't tell Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao that on the day she went out to look at the foundation, she bought the house on the second floor of the east side of the same building that Qiao Xiaoyun had mentioned to Qiao Changdong.

Xiang Dongyan's house is large and has enough guest rooms, but it's not her own home after all. Plus, it's almost Chinese New Year, so staying for a day or two is fine, but staying there for a long time would be a bit impolite.

Besides, Shen Qingyan will be coming to celebrate the New Year in a few days, so they can't all stay at the Pei family's house.

So Yan Liti went out that day not only to help Qiao Changdong look at the land for building houses, but also to buy a house for herself.

There are better houses in the whole town.

However, the tenement building next to Qiao Xiaoyun's house was, in Yan Liti's opinion, the most suitable one.

The house isn't big, only about 100 square meters.

The Cao family took good care of their house, so there was nothing wrong with it; all they needed to do was clean it and add some furniture.

The cleaning is underway now, and we should be able to move the furniture in tomorrow.

The house originally only had two rooms, but the living room was large enough to partition off another room. Even if it wasn't partitioned off, it wouldn't matter, since her son had always been a rough man and would sleep on the floor!

In short, Yan Liti felt that the house was just right for their family of four.

right.

She and her granddaughter, plus her son and Qiao Changdong, make a family of four!

She planned to give Qiao Qiao a surprise once the house was completely cleaned up.

Yan Liti called over the boss and immediately asked for ten kumquat trees.

The flower shop owner rarely encountered customers who didn't ask about prices or haggle, and he immediately smiled broadly.

When Yan Liti went inside to settle the bill, Qiao Changdong was talking to Qiao Changcai.

Qiao Changcai was impatient and didn't have the patience to browse around like this. He wanted to go to the third street to look at building materials first. Since there was still Wang Jun here, he told Qiao Changdong that he wanted to go there first.

Qiao Changdong had no objection and handed him a slip of paper containing the building materials he needed to look at this time.
