Chapter 122: Old Mansion and New Home

Now that I’ve bought a new coal stove, it’s only natural to get the honeycomb coal done quickly.

Cheng Ming asked the village head to contact a reliable farm truck driver to haul coal from a nearby coal yard, and then borrowed molds from the village head’s house.

Loess is found in the mountains, Cheng Ming drove Zhao Lei to the mountains and directly dug two sacks of loess back.

The environment is not too badly damaged these days, and along the way I saw a lot of wild fruits, mulberries, wild peaches, raspberries, snakeberries and so on, with mountain crabs along the stream valleys and a lot of fish in the rivers.

It felt like it should be fun to bring my sister for a hiking trip, with the idea of hooking up another hose from the clear spring pool on the mountain to the old mansion.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the coal to be delivered tomorrow.

Zhao Lei had been away from home for so long that he must have had quite a lot to say to his sister and grandfather.

Cheng Ming didn’t bother them any more and gave them their personal space, taking his sister to say goodbye and leave.

“Brother, where did you and Dad sleep the night before last? I want to go and take a look.” Cheng Li asked as he pulled on Cheng Ming’s coat.

“There’s nothing to see, it’s just a mansion of a very shabby and dirty one.”

Cheng Ming did not want his sister to go to the old mansion.

As long as the time, place, and people are not correct, it will completely eliminate that incident, right?

Slightly deluding himself, Cheng Ming also knew that he could put an end to that incident as long as he didn’t go to his head, but he was just a little unsure of himself.

Fate, does it really exist?

“I just want to see it.” Cheng Li shook Cheng Ming’s body and pouted.

“Wasn’t I born in that place? Is it strange to want to see where you were born? Could it be that that place is harboring some unspeakable secret?”

“It’s not a secret, go ahead and look if you want, it just so happens Dad gave me the key.”

Cheng Ming opened the dilapidated door, Cheng Li took the lead and rushed in, looking left and right, resting his small hand on his brow, he said, “This place looks like Zhao Ren’s house.”

“The basic layout is pretty much the same, I guess.”

Cheng Li was the first to open the off-set room, and the wooden door creaked.

Dust poured out, choking Cheng Li, who coughed and waved his hand to disperse the air.

“Ahem, lots of dust.”

Cheng Ming also waved his hand to disperse the dust particles in front of his sister’s eyes and said, “After all, a lot of people don’t have anyone to live with, so that means there’s nothing to see.”

It was like an adventure, walking through each room.

It was an empty room with nothing but a bedpan and a few broken posts on the wooden windows.

Cheng Ming froze in place, the past passing before his eyes like a slide show.

It was in this room with my sister ……

Cheng Li peeked at Cheng Ming’s reaction, sure enough, his brother still cares, right?

Cheng Li took Cheng Ming’s big hand and squeezed his palm and said, “Brother, playing hide and seek in this kind of old house seems to be good, we only have the bottom of the bed and the cupboard to hide in at home.”

“Playing hide-and-seek in a place like this, where your clothes get dirty in minutes, do you want to get your ass kicked by your mom?”

“I’ll just say my brother dragged me to play.”

“Don’t always let your brother take the blame, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Walking hand in hand to the backlit back hallway of the old mansion, it was clearly daytime, but the end of the hallway was dark, chilling and eerie.

Cheng Li couldn’t help but move closer to Cheng Ming, hugging his arm and asking fearfully, “Brother, will this place be haunted?”

“How can it be haunted in the middle of the day …… wow ah ah ah, ghosts come.”

Cheng Ming suddenly raised his volume and raised his hand to lunge towards Cheng Li.

Cheng Li didn’t wince at Cheng Ming’s fright and rolled her eyes and asked, “Brother, are you a three year old?”

“The only thing I don’t want is to be told that by you.”

Brother, you’re more like a lecher with your acting skills.

If your brother is really a lecher, then Cheng Li is not only excited, but also sexually aroused, it is impossible to be afraid of it.

But in order to play a small child, you still have to show fear without realizing it.

One went into his brother’s arms, taking his arm and rubbing his chest.

“That’s it, told you there’s nothing to see.”

“Brother, after seeing the old mansion over here, let’s go see the new home.”

“Now?”

“Go now! Hurry up and go, or it’ll get dark.” Cheng Li couldn’t wait to urge.

The new home is located just across the old street, with a strong visual effect of the high-rise Daxia rising up on one side and the urban village on the other.

It would be quite convenient to find Shen Xiao.

The property lady at the front desk said amiably, “It’s the young master and princess of Mr. Cheng’s family, isn’t it? Mr. Cheng’s family is on the eighth floor, room 808, just take the elevator in the middle.”

Cheng Ming and Cheng Li basically do not show up in the company, basically have not seen this kind of battle, is Dad ordered in advance?

“Thanks, we got it.”

“Brother, little princess or something, it feels so weird, goosebumps all over, is our family rich?”

“Well, let’s just say it’s relatively wealthy.” Cheng Ming rubbed his nose and said.

Walking into the elevator, Cheng Ming pressed the button for the 8th floor.

Cheng Li lay in Cheng Ming’s arms, his whole body was wrapped by Cheng Ming, and said heartily, “It’s good to have an elevator, it’s going to turn into an invalid.”

“You’re supposed to be an invalid, right?”

“It’s because of my brother that I’ve become an invalid, and my brother has to take responsibility for it properly.”

Cheng Ming took the key and opened the security door of room 808.

There was still a slight smell of paint and baseboards in the air, creamy white walls, brand new furniture in a minimalist modern style, and many unopened boxes of appliances on the floor.

The lighting was good, and as it was getting late in the evening, the rays of the setting sun were hitting the house through the rows of floor-to-ceiling windows.

“It feels like a big house.”

Whether it’s the silos they’ve lived in or the second-hand houses they live in now, it’s not on the same level.

The estimate is about one hundred and thirty square meters, belongs to the luxury of the big three rooms, three bedrooms, two halls, two bathrooms and a study room, he and his father live in the real emptiness is not like words, even if you add the younger sister is not stuffed.

But if Auntie Lian Ying and Xu Juan came over to stay, it would be almost just right.

Could it be that Dad chose the big three bedrooms with that in mind.

No, just give them a handout and a place to stay.

Or did Dad just want to live with them.

“I’m going to sleep in this room, so brother will sleep in the next room.”

Cheng Li flopped down and rolled on the fabric bed.

The two secondary bedrooms are connected by a balcony outside, which is kind of the brightest design of the house. But this design is also too insecure.

“I was thinking of sleeping in the den.”

This balcony made Cheng Ming really insecure.

“Did you fancy the computer in the study again, brother?”

The study in his new home was similarly configured with computers, and Cheng Ming was thinking about whether to buy a new computer or a portable laptop after the move.

But there’s just not a lot of free money on hand, and Dad took care of that instead, and the pen drive can wait until he has more money on hand.

“That’s right!”

“Eh, the den is so small, it’s not comfortable to sleep in.”

“It’s quite a bit more spacious than what I’m sleeping in now, and it’s enough.”

“Never mind, it’s not that bad anyway.”

Maybe the narrow single bed was even more comfortable to squeeze into, with limbs able to intertwine.

“Brother, there’s actually a bathtub here.” Cheng Li, who stepped into the bathroom, shouted excitedly.

“Actually really bought it, dad the person who loves you too much, right?” Cheng Ming held his forehead and said without any self-consciousness.

The rectangular white bathtub rests directly on the bathroom floor.

Polished inside and out, not one of those built-in tubs, but a freestanding tub that doesn’t require pre-preparation of the masonry table and skirt.

The large bathtub also made the otherwise spacious bathroom seem a bit cramped.

Cheng Li lay directly in the bathtub and closed his eyes with a peaceful face.

Cheng Ming smiled and went to the kitchen to take a look.

There are also some kitchen spice items missing, cooking oil and rice and whatnot, as well as daily necessities like toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, and so on.

“Aside from the fact that it still smells a bit, it’s good enough to move right in, Lai, let’s go home and have dinner.”

“Eh, is this going away?”

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

This girl should not ……

The bathroom door was open, and sundresses, fatigues, and tiny tank tops were strewn across the tile floor.

“So hot, so hot ……”

Cheng Li took the shower and filled the bathtub with water, her little feet lifting and splashing.

In the dense vapor, Cheng Li’s petite body was hidden.

If you want to take a shower, at least close the door for me.
