Xiaoman’s School District House (2)
Only then did Jiang Xiumei smile.
Her son was quite reliable. He knew that if the house were too small, then his mother would not be used to living there. He even purposely bought a villa; he was filial.
Jiang Xiumei said with satisfaction, “That’s good, so I don’t have to worry about getting used to it.”
Jiang Xing’s eyes looked like he was in a trance again, murmuring, “You definitely won’t find it hard to get used to. I promise that after you moved in, you would find it to be just like home. It’s the same, and nothing is uncomfortable.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Jiang Xiumei had nothing else to say except this sentence. She praised him several times, then finally remembered something else. “This house is so good, how much was it? Did we have enough money?”
Jiang Xing’s tears fell, “Four hundred thousand.”
“Haa?” Jiang Xiumei was also stunned.
So much money! In her life, she had never touched 400,000 yuan!
Why were the houses in the city so expensive, were they made of gold?
At this moment, she felt as if an invisible knife was slicing her body. Jiang Xiumei also experienced what was called flesh pain.
The pair of mother and son sat down, looking at each other with tears in their eyes.
After a while, Jiang Xiumei abruptly convinced herself and gritted her teeth, saying, “It’s fine! If you don’t have money, you can always earn more. But we cannot have Xiaoman not go to school. You said that the house was pretty good; I think the money was well spent. It’s no loss.”
“No loss, no loss…” Jiang Xing murmured.
Since the house had been bought, then they had to move in quickly. It was almost the beginning of the school period, there was still a lot that needed to be done for Jiang Xiaoman’s enrollment procedures, and he had to do all the chores quickly.
So the three members of the Jiang family prepared to move.
Jiang Xiumei had lived in the village for decades, so she was very reluctant to leave. She resigned from work at school and followed her son to the city.
Pans, bowls, spoons, pots, sickles, and kitchen knives. They had all followed Jiang Xiumei for many years, and she didn’t throw them away quickly when they were broken. She always tried to repair and patch them up, and she had grown emotionally attached to each of them.
She couldn’t bear to throw them away. Take this one, take that one. In the end, she ended up with a lot of luggage filled with odds and ends.
They couldn’t take Mrs. Flower and hadn’t figured out what to do with it yet, so she could only ask the grandma next door to help take care of it for a few days. Once they had finished settling down in the city, she would go back to look for it.
Would it be sold or eaten? Let’s talk about it when the time comes.
Jiang Xiaoman didn’t have a lot of luggage, and Jiang Xiumei helped her organize her belongings. The only things she worried about were the iron boxes that she kept hidden.
One of the iron boxes was filled with pretty pebbles, and the other one was filled with sweets and pennies. The two of them contained the things that she cherished the most.
The system hurriedly reminded, “Host, don’t forget the crescent-shaped jade pendant that you hid in the closet. That is an important item; you can’t lose it.”
Jiang Xiaoman only remembered it now and hurried to the closet, taking out a jade pendant after great difficulty.
She hung it on her neck. “Is this all right?”
The system was relieved.
After packing up their stuff, they just needed to find the day to move.
Jiang Xing’s logistics fleet did have cars, but they were all vast trucks that weren’t suitable for moving.
Moreover, they were usually used to carry ores from the mine and were dirty with mud. Jiang Xiumei couldn’t find a spot to put down her things and didn’t want to use them.
Jiang Xing hadn’t bought a personal car yet, so he had to find a van to transport everything to the city.
The owner of the van initially didn’t want to take the job. After all, the destination was very far, and the road was very arduous. But since the pay was excellent, he finally agreed.
