Chapter 302: 302 Excited Xiao Tangtang_1

It’s only ten o’clock now, and recently staying in Huacheng, the climate was quite different from Haicheng. After consecutive days of toil at the market, Ji Pianran and little Xiao Tangtang were curled up in the warm quilt, sleeping soundly and sweetly.

Hearing her cellphone ring, she groggily reached under her pillow to pick it up, "Hello..."

"Wife, come to see the house. It’s been purchased," Gu Zhi said with a beaming smile.

????

Ji Pianran was still drowsy. Hearing Gu Zhi’s business-savvy voice, she instinctively reached out to touch the spot beside her. Realizing he truly wasn’t there, she suddenly grasped the gravity of the situation.

That meant Gu Zhi had really gone out to buy a house!

She immediately sat up, "Wait, didn’t we just talk about buying a house last night?"

That was too fast!

No sooner had they agreed on something than he had already taken care of it!

"I’ll text you the address. How about you bring Xiao Tangtang over?"

Gu Zhi’s suggestion wasn’t because he didn’t want to pick them up, but because he planned to go grocery shopping and prepare a nice meal to celebrate Xiao Tangtang’s birthday happily!

"Alright, alright, send it to me. I’ll wake Xiao Tangtang up right now," said Ji Pianran before hanging up the phone.

She bent down and planted a big kiss on Xiao Tangtang’s face.

"Xiao Tangtang, Daddy bought us a house~"

Ji Pianran was incredibly excited. Though she didn’t particularly want to live in the countryside, Xiao Tangtang was now three years old, and what she needed most was education, the education in the city.

This was something she had thought about countless times in her heart.

Now, Gu Zhi told her that the house had been purchased and invited them, the mother and daughter, to go see it. How could she not be thrilled?

If she weren’t excited, she wouldn’t be normal!

The little one was sleeping soundly, but with her mother’s kiss, she sleepily opened her eyes, babbling with the sweetness of a young child’s voice.

"Mommy....."

"Get up quickly. We have a new home. Do you want to go see it with Mommy?"

When Xiao Tangtang heard they had a new home, she immediately threw off the blankets and sat up.

On the airplane yesterday, a little boy told her that he lived in Haicheng, right above a kindergarten, and they had a child’s room with his bedroom painted the color of the sky, complete with cloud-patterned bedsheets, incredibly beautiful.

Xiao Tangtang envied him after hearing this; she too wanted a home like that.

To her surprise, upon waking up, her mother told her they had a new home.

"Mommy, let’s bring Daddy and go to our new home!"

When the little one spoke, the excitement on her face nearly overflowed.

Her large, shiny eyes seemed to hide crushed stars, her long eyelashes dark and dense, and her little cheeks so tender they looked as if they might ooze water.

Ji Pianran’s heart softened even more.

She held Xiao Tangtang in her arms,

her eyes brimming with tenderness, "Daddy is already there; it’s the new home Daddy bought for us. Let’s get up quickly."

Hearing Daddy was already there, the little girl didn’t say another word and scrambled up.

She stretched her arms out as if ready to get dressed, babbling sweetly.

"Mommy, clothes, clothes."

Ji Pianran dressed her, and after a quick wash, they headed to the address Gu Zhi had sent.

As for Gu Zhi, he had called Second Brother Gu He, not expecting him to bring the car over for himself.

Now back in Haicheng, he planned a few days of work to get everything needed for the new house sorted out and to get the business license from Qiao Hua the next day.

It’s really inconvenient without a car.

Unexpectedly, Gu He was with Shen Cuizhi. Seeing it was Gu Zhi’s call, he simply answered, "Hello, Chen’er."

She snatched it away in one swift move.

"Did you find your elder brother?"

Gu Zhi said, "Mom, we found him, but he’s not in good health. He’s currently hospitalized there. It’s estimated that he’ll need a month before he can be discharged, but once he’s out, he’ll be able to come back."

Hearing that Gu Zhigang had finally been found, Shen Cuizhi couldn’t hold back her tears and began to cry.

"What’s with your brother, walking around fine one moment and ending up in the hospital the next."

Gu He, seeing his mother cry, didn’t know what was happening and became terribly anxious. He snatched the phone away and turned on the speakerphone.

"Chen’er, what’s going on? How did big brother end up in the hospital?"

Gu Zhi explained everything in detail and then reassured both of them.

"It’s alright now, thankfully there was no serious harm, and we’ve even recovered the money. Plus, we got a compensation of three hundred thousand. With that money, big brother can start some small business and be able to provide for the family."

Hearing about the three hundred thousand in compensation, Gu He’s eyes widened in disbelief, his face a picture of astonishment.

His mouth even formed an ’o’ shape!

"Oh, my god, three hundred thousand in compensation—that’s enough for a lifetime! Big brother has really struck it rich this time!"

Three hundred thousand was indeed a significant sum.

Compared to his own meager salary of less than two hundred a month, Gu He was so envious he wished he were Gu Zhigang!

He also wanted to be locked up in a dark room!

He also coveted the astronomical compensation of three hundred thousand!

Hearing this, Shen Cuizhi pinched him hard, her face full of frustration.

"Your brother almost lost his life, and all you can think about is money, money, money!"

Having said that, she couldn’t help but once again express her gratitude to Gu Zhi over the phone, "We’re really lucky to have you. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know what to do."

It had to be said that her youngest son was truly capable. Not only did he find his brother, but he also secured three hundred thousand in compensation.

If it had been up to her, not to mention singing, she might have even lost her son!

She was sincerely grateful to Gu Zhi.

Hearing this, Gu Zhi laughed on the other end of the phone, "Mom, what are you talking about? We’re family. Without you, there would be no home, and without a home, there would be no me!"

She was his mother, and she never needed to thank him.

In his previous life, he had caused his mother no little trouble, and it was she who had raised Xiao Tangtang.

Having a second chance at life, what he did was merely his duty as her son.

Shen Cuizhi wiped away her tears, her face beaming with joy.

"No matter what, this is great news. You and Pian Ran come back today, and I’ll cook something delicious for you!"

As a mother, all she could think of was to feed her son well.

Hearing that, Gu Zhi’s eyebrows twitched.

"Oh right, Mom, I forgot to tell you, today is Tangtang’s birthday. I bought a house in Haicheng. Why don’t you and dad, along with Second Brother Gu He and our family, all come over and celebrate the kid’s birthday? It’s always more festive with more people."

Upon hearing it was Tangtang’s birthday, Shen Cuizhi got excited.

She slapped her thigh, "Oh my, you child, why didn’t you say so earlier? I just cured some pork last month; it’s perfect to eat now. I’ll bring it along, and tonight we’ll all have a good dinner together!"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu He excitedly interjected.

"Wow, you bought a house and didn’t even tell us! You, little guy, are truly becoming a bona fide city dweller now!"

Not only had his younger brother bought a car, but now he had even bought a house in the city!

Gu He was surprised and nothing but surprised; he knew well that houses weren’t cheap, with a single one in the city costing several hundred thousand!

That was a number he couldn’t earn in his entire lifetime!
