Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 70 – Your Younger Brother Doesn’t Have Teeth Yet

Su Danhong was very touched. She was really worried that he would keep thinking about it. Her simple life was quiet and nice now. She didn’t want to have any misunderstandings between them.

That’s why she wanted to tell him the truth.

She didn’t expect him to be so considerate.

“Then you must treat me well! I’ll tell you now, if you don’t believe me, if you dare to be bad to me, and if you dare to learn from those unfaithful men outside, then I will take our son and immediately fly away! I will continue to be a celestial woman when I leave, and let our son become a celestial child, while you can be a hoodlum in the mortal world!” Su Danhong exclaimed.

Ji Jianyun grinned. “Then you are going to be with me in the mortal world for the rest of your life.”

Su Danhong understood what he meant and said to him, “It’s no use just talking. Let’s see what you do in the future. Life is very long.”

After the couple took a stroll around the mountain, Su Danhong couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to go home. She missed her son.

She had never left Xiao Renren before. She was worried the moment she had left.

Ji Jianyun brought her back.

Su Danhong gave him the water kettle, said hello to Mother Ji. Then, she went back to her room to see her son. He had no concerns and slept soundly on the bed.

“He never woke up when you left,” Mother Ji remarked.

A moment ago, she also went in to see her youngest grandson. He was so white and plump, which was very uncommon.

“He’s like his mother this way. Once he sleeps a bit, he will stay asleep even if the sky is falling,” Ji Jianyun joked.

Su Danhong blushed. “Don’t accuse me like that, I am quite safe. There is Da Hei at home, and I also have you, so why can’t I take the time to sleep more?”

Mother Ji smiled.

Su Danhong said, “Mother, sit down. I’m going to embroider some more. When the boy wakes up, I won’t be able to embroider it.”

“Okay, go ahead.” Mother Ji nodded and continued to pick the beans. Then, she told Ji Jianyun about this year’s New Years, “Jianwen called back and said he would be back early this year.”

“Okay.” Ji Jianyun nodded, but said nothing more.

“Jianyun, we had no choice. Back then, Jianwen had just become a father and was alone in Jiangshui City. Lili talked about buying a house and settling down, and didn’t want to let your niece live in a rented place outside. At that time, the housing prices were still cheap, so we gave the money to him,” Mother Ji explained to him.

“I know. It’s all in the past,” Ji Jianyun said.

Truthfully, he blamed Lao Si. He blamed this boy for even daring to take their parents’ retirement money. But renting in Jiangshui City was not always good either.

In the end, he was the youngest son and it didn’t matter if their parents suffered. Lao Si was always favored when they were growing up.

There would always be a bit of bitterness in the heart for this.

Ji Jianyun listened to what his mother said and he got over it.

As long as he had a good life, he didn’t care about the rest.

“The last time Jianwen called, he said that the housing prices have risen to almost 40 yuan per square meter. It was cheap when he bought it. It was about 20 yuan per square meter, and now it has almost doubled. The apartment was bought at a good time. Yunyun was studying in the city and didn’t need to find a place to stay. She could stay with Jianwen and that saved a lot of money,” Mother Ji continued.

Ji Jianyun nodded.

In Jiangshui City, they also had an apartment that was bigger than Lao Si’s place. Lao Si only bought a place that was 80 square meters. His wife bought a place that was 108 square meters in the residential area over there.

There was almost a 30 square meter difference.

However, Ji Jianyun did not intend to tell his mother.

Then, Mother Ji said, “Jianwen called and said that if you have any money left, you can go to the city and buy a place. The price will go up, and if you don’t live there in the future, you can sell it and make a lot of money.”

“Currently, all the money is being spent on the family, there is none left,” Ji Jianyun said without hesitation.

If they really wanted to buy an apartment, then they could just ask Hong Jie. She was very familiar with the city and the college town. How useful could Ji Jianwen’s advice be?

And if they took Ji Jianwen’s advice, then it would mean that they owed a favor. The next time Yun Lili came to borrow money and wanted to buy another apartment or make an investment or something, could they say no? They would owe them a favor.

Thus, Ji Jianyun tried to cut off the conversation. Whether it was Jiangshui City or in the college town, his family had three apartments. This was enough, and he did have any intentions to buy more.

Mother Ji did not know what was going on with her seemingly honest son, and only said, “Mother also told Jianwen that you are a father now, too. You need to spend money for your family, and you don’t have extra money. Where do you even have the free time to buy an apartment in Jiangshui City?”

Everything was about money these days. Previously, they bought a refrigerator and a washing machine, which was a couple hundred yuan. Then, there was the money for sheeps, the money for chickens, and the monthly salary for Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang. Mother Ji almost had a headache just thinking about it.

She just hoped that the chicks would grow up well and be sold at the beginning of next spring. That way, they could make some money back, right?

Thinking of this, she asked in a low voice, “Jianyun, has Danhong gone to see the chicks?”

“She has. Danhong said that chicks are growing well.” How could Ji Jianyun not know what his mother was trying to ask? He smiled and responded.

“If the chicks grow well, then we can supply more chickens as an offering for the Great Fox Immortal to eat in the coming year,” Mother Ji said.

Ji Jianyun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What was his mother talking about?

His wife didn’t eat chicken at all during confinement. She only drank chicken soup and nibbled on two chicken legs to produce milk. The rest went into his stomach.

When his wife was going through confinement, he was also being nourished along with her.

“Okay, I’ll make some for my wife then.” Ji Jianyun did not disagree, and followed along.

As soon as she heard this, Mother Ji was very satisfied. She nodded and continued to pick through the beans.

In the evening, Hou Wazi came to see his younger brother after school. When he came, Xiao Renren was awake and was crying in bed.

“Younger brother.” Hou Wazi went over and wanted to hold Xiao Renren. However, Ji Jianyun didn’t let him and said, “The baby is young, you can’t hold him yet. He will pee all over you later.”

With that, Ji Jianyun held Xiao Renren and he started peeing. Sure enough, the child held up the skies and startled Hou Wazi. “It’s a good thing I didn’t hold him just now, otherwise I would have to take a bath tonight. I hate taking a bath the most when it’s freezing to death.”

Now that it was cold, it was indeed the time when bathing was reduced.

“There is hot water in the kitchen. Go and take some to wash your hands. Your third aunt made dumplings today. Go ask her to make you a bowl,” Ji Jianyun said.

“Okay!” Hou Wazi’s eyes lit up.

Su Danhong was curing bacon. When she saw him coming, she smiled and asked, “Is school over that quickly?”

“Yeah! Third aunt, I want to eat dumplings,” Hou Wazi said.

“Then I’ll give you a bowl.” Su Danhong nodded and went to make him a bowl of dumplings. It was done in ten minutes. Hou Wazi ate very happily. Each dumpling had a lot of meat and was very tasty. With envy, he said, “I haven’t come to see my brother in a few days and he has put on a lot of weight.”

There is such delicious food every day, how can my brother not be fat? 

“Your younger brother doesn’t have teeth yet.” Su Danhong knew what he meant and smiled.
