“Isn’t this room too warm?” Ji Zi’ang sighed.
“Of course,” said Zhang Kun, “It’s using a municipal central heating system. It’s different from the self-heating system in our county.”
Ji Zi’ang stepped forward and touched the heater in the living room, “It’s amazing. I’m sweating a little.”
Standing at the living room’s entrance, Ji Yuanyuan looked around the house.
This apartment was supposed to be a three-bedroom, two-living room, and two-bathroom apartment.
There was a master bedroom and a second bedroom facing south.
The master bedroom had a bathroom and the second bedroom had a balcony.
To the north was another second bedroom and kitchen, and the bathroom was just outside the door.
The three bedrooms were not big, but the living room was huge. It was connected to the dining room without any partition.
Li Xu thought that now that the children were all grown up, it was better to have their own space.
Therefore, during the renovation, the east side of the living room was divided into a small bedroom.
Although the living room was much smaller, the three rooms immediately became four rooms. Every child could have their own room.
“Take a look, which room do you want the most?” Zhang Kun pointed at the three guest rooms.
Ji Zi’ang ran around the room happily. Looking down from the bedrooms, he chuckled, “I think the master bedroom is not bad.”
Zhang Kun laughed, “Then when your mother comes over, you can discuss it with her. I’m sure it’ll be fine.”
Ji Zi’ang shrugged, “My mom definitely won’t agree to it. She might even give me a meal of stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots.”
As they were talking, Li Xu and Hu Chunli came over.
After entering, Li Xu rubbed her hands and placed them on the heater.
“Have you seen the house? Have you chosen the rooms?”
“Let my younger siblings choose first,” Ji Zixuan said, “I can stay in any room.”
Li Xu then looked at Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan, “I’ll give you two the chance to choose first. Take a good look. Which one do you want to choose?”
Pausing for a moment, she pointed to the room facing south and said, “There’s a balcony in this room. Everyone will definitely come in and out, so Yuanyuan can’t stay in this room. You can choose any other room!”
Ji Zi’ang spoke first and pointed to the room to the north, “1 want this!”
This room was not adjacent to the other rooms, so the soundproofing was the best.
If he stayed in this room, they wouldn’t even notice if he wanted to stay up late to read a novel or something.
Ji Zi’ang was pleased with his own thoughts.
Ji Yuanyuan pointed to the room on the east side and said, “Then I’ll take this.”
That meant that Ji Zixuan was left with the second bedroom facing south. That room was the largest and faced south, so he naturally did not have any objections.
The room allocation was so simple that Hu Chunli was a little surprised.
She had thought that families with more children would have more disputes, but she did not expect the three children of Li Xu’s family to be so obedient. It was as if they had never quarreled over anything.
Li Xu nodded, “All right, that’s settled for now. If you want to change in the future, just apply to me. I’ll consider it.”
Before Li Xu could finish speaking, Ji Zi’ang had already rushed to the bedroom in the north.
“Mom, do we have to buy a new bed?” Ji Zi’ang was planning in the room, “1 want a bigger bed, a desk here, and a bookshelf, the bigger kind…”
After seeing Li Xu’s house, they went to see Hu Chunli’s house.
Li Xu didn’t lack money, so although she wouldn’t come over to live this winter, she still paid for the heating.
She had heard from the renovator that no matter how good the materials used in the newly renovated house were, there would still be some form of formalin. Turning on the heater could speed up the decomposition of formalin.
Li Xu didn’t know much about this aspect or whether it was true or false.
Anyway, it wouldn’t cost much to turn on the heater for the entire winter, so she decided to give it a try.
However, Hu Chunli didn’t have much money on hand, so she didn’t turn on the heater in her house.
Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly today. The sunlight shone through the glass, and the room was warm.
Hu Chunli’s apartment was relatively small, with only two bedrooms.
However, both bedrooms faced south, which was better.
Although it wasn’t big, it was more than enough for Hu Chunli and Yang Jingyi.
The weekend passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Monday morning arrived.
After entering November, the weather was getting colder by the day.
When it was time to woke up in the morning, Ji Yuanyuan did not want to get up.
After lying on the bed for a while, Li Xu urged her to get up.
After breakfast, Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her hands together and discussed with Ji
Zixuan, “Big Brother, can you give me a ride?”
The weather was too cold, and she didn’t want to ride her bike.
Being carried by someone at least could block the wind.
Naturally, Ji Zixuan had no problem with it. As he put on the scarf, he said, “Sure, no problem!”
Before Ji Yuanyuan could say anything, Ji Zi’ang asked, “Yuanyuan, why didn’t you let me drive you? Do you not trust my driving skills or something?” Ji Yuanyuan chuckled but did not say anything.
He mumbled, “This won’t do! I’ll give you a ride this morning. 1’11 get Big
Brother to give you a ride when we get back!”
Li Xu listened to the side and instructed, “You can drive your Sister, but if you let her get hurt, I’ll teach you a lesson when we get back!”
Ji Zi’ang was already dressed and went out first.
After walking out of the door, Ji Zi’ang mischievously stuck his head back and deliberately said, “Mom, why is your temper getting worse recently? Be careful that Dad doesn’t like you anymore.”
After saying that, he ran downstairs, probably afraid of being beaten up.
Li Xu laughed and did not argue with him, “Zixuan, keep an eye on him. Don’t let him drop your sister!”
“Yes, Mom!” Ji Zixuan replied obediently.
He took the keys with one hand and called Ji Yuanyuan with the other, “Hurry up and leave, I’ll give you a ride!”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, “Yes.”
Then, she looked at Li Xu, “Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let Second Brother drive me!”
Li Xu reached out and touched Ji Yuanyuan’s face, “Okay, go quickly.”
When the two of them went downstairs, Ji Zi’ang was already on his bicycle, “Hurry up and come up.”
Ji Yuanyuan ignored him and sat in the backseat.
Ji Zi’ang frowned, “What do you mean? Big Brother is your biological brother, but I’m not?”
Ji Zixuan did not say a word. With a kick, his bike sped off.
Ji Zi’ang looked at their backs and huffed.
A moment later, he still followed after them with resignation.
Yang Jingyi came early today. When the three of them arrived at the gate of the community, Hu Chunli was already waiting with Yang Jingyi.
A few of them went to school together.
From afar, Ji Zi’ang asked in surprise, “Hey, isn’t that your classmate? Is she also called Yi?”
Ji Yuanyuan leaned out and looked forward, “It’s Fang Xinyi..”
