The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

A person suddenly rushed into the kitchen, startling Jiang Yu.

When he turned around, he saw Gao Qingya and immediately wanted to kick her out so she wouldn't cause trouble.

Gao Qingya didn't give her the chance at all, snatching the vegetable washing basin away and making a face at her, looking like a smug little devil.

Jiang Yu: "Gao Qingya, you're so annoying!"

"You're the annoying one! Do you think I'm cute enough?!" someone said shamelessly.

Gao Qingmiao: "Stop arguing, get the bowl, I need to pour tea."

The two who were bickering then stopped.

Unfortunately, it was Gao Qingya's first time visiting her sister's house, and she was unfamiliar with the kitchen, so she was a step too slow in finding the bowls.

Seeing Jiang Yu pouring tea bowl after bowl, Gao Qingya quickly rushed to take them out.

Grandma gets a bowl, Mom and Dad each get a bowl, and then my sister and brother-in-law each get a bowl, and finally, I get mine.

Jiang Yu watched the whole thing and smiled helplessly.

When guests arrived, Qi Lianxin invited them to go out for dinner that evening, but Old Lady Tian waved her hand dismissively:
"Why go out? Just eat at home. I see there's still a lot of food on the kitchen floor. I'll cook dinner tonight."

Huang Ying and Gao Chongyi nodded repeatedly, both indicating that they could help and that Qi Lianxin didn't need to worry about it.

Gao Qinghe naturally agreed wholeheartedly, "Grandma, you have no idea, ever since we came to the provincial capital, I've been thinking about your cooking every single day!"

Grandma Tian chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll show you what I can do in a bit."

Qi Lianxin called Jiang Yu over and asked her to go buy some more groceries so that they wouldn't run out of food for dinner.

Jiang Yu agreed and tugged at Gao Qingya, who was trying to squeeze next to her sister-in-law.

Gao Qingya shrugged unhappily and turned around to ask, "What?"

"Buy groceries." Jiang Yu said succinctly, pulling her up. "Hurry up, I'm afraid everyone else will have closed up shop by then."

Gao Qingya didn't want to go. She hadn't had a chance to get to know her little nephew yet. It had been so long since they'd seen each other; she hoped the little guy wouldn't forget his aunt.

With a quick thought, she said, "Sis, I'll take Yueyue with me to buy groceries."

The child was being held in Huang Ying's arms. Gao Qinghe shrugged, giving her an expression that said, "If you can take him away, then so be it."

Gao Qingya smiled confidently, turned to Jiang Qiyue, and tempted her with the promise of buying her a lollipop. The little girl immediately slid down from her grandmother's arms, took her aunt's hand in one hand and her other aunt's hand in the other, and happily went out.

Gao Qingmiao was worried and quickly told the adults, "I'll go with them."

Jiang Baohai told him to buy another bottle of good wine so he could have a couple of drinks with his mother-in-law and grandmother that evening.

Sure enough, Huang Ying's eyes lit up when she heard about buying wine.

Gao Chongyi glanced at her secretly, thinking, "My mother-in-law is watching, so be careful."

Huang Ying responded with a hearty, goofy laugh. "When you're happy, you need to have a couple of drinks to really get into the mood!"

Gao Chongyi smiled helplessly at his eldest daughter and asked his son-in-law where they planned to spend the New Year this year.

Gao Chongyi was a little disappointed when Jiang Baohai said that he had originally planned to go back to his hometown, but now that his mother's hand was injured and it was inconvenient for her, he decided to spend the New Year in the city.

However, they quickly expressed their understanding and reminded them to buy the New Year's food in advance, otherwise there might not be any shops open during the New Year period.

Jiang Baohai nodded, indicating that he was prepared.

After spending some quality time with her grandmother, Gao Qinghe remembered to ask:
"Grandma, why are you here?"

Grandma Tian glanced at her daughter Huang Ying, gave Gao Qinghe a mysterious smile, and whispered to her:
"You're here to look at houses. Your parents are planning to buy a house in the city, thinking it will be more convenient for you and me to come to the city in the future. She can't make up her mind, so she asked me to come and take a look for her."

"I didn't want to tell you now, but your grandma just can't hold it in."

After Grandma Tian finished speaking, she stole a glance at her daughter, afraid that her daughter would be angry that she had spoken out beforehand. Little did she know that Huang Ying had already anticipated this day. She pretended to glare at her mother, then smiled.

Gao Chongyi and Huang Ying called their son-in-law over and brought out the floor plans of the houses they wanted to choose from, asking Gao Qinghe and his wife to help them select one.

There are three apartments in total, one of which is a large four-bedroom apartment in a newly built residential complex.

The advantages are that the house is new and has a good layout. The disadvantages are that it is still an off-plan property, and it will not be ready for occupancy for another year, and the price is relatively high.

One is a two-story brick building with a storefront in an old neighborhood.

The advantages are that it's cheap and in a good location. The disadvantage is that it has a long and narrow rectangular layout, making renovations quite troublesome.

Moreover, we have received confirmation that the urban redevelopment project is not located in this area, so there is no opportunity to buy property and get rich quick through demolition compensation.

The last one is a self-built house by a farmer in the northern suburbs of the provincial capital.

The advantages are that it has a large yard and the house is well maintained; it's a small building that was only built in the early 1980s.

The downside is that it's too far away, and there are no land certificates or property ownership certificates, only a certificate issued by the village.

Speaking of houses alone, Huang Ying and Gao Chongyi preferred the self-built house, the pre-sale apartment in the residential complex was second, and the old city area was last.

The couple had originally decided to settle on that self-built house. The large courtyard and the two vegetable plots behind the house made Huang Ying, who came from the countryside, feel at home.

After looking at the three houses, Grandma Tian also preferred to build her own house. After all, living comfortably is the most important thing. And who knows, the policy might change in the future and she might be able to get a certificate again?
But when it came time to make the final decision, Grandma Tian suddenly hesitated and decided to listen to her eldest granddaughter's opinion.

Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai looked at each other, and both saw relief in each other's eyes.

Luckily, Grandma remembered to ask them, otherwise she would have almost made a mistake.

"Mom, buy this one in the old town!"

Gao Qinghe pulled out the floor plan of the second house, slammed it on the table, and said with certainty:
"If you trust me, buy this house. Don't rush to renovate it. Just tidy it up and live in it for a couple of years."

Huang Ying asked curiously, "Why?"

Gao Qinghe said mysteriously, "Because I did some calculations and felt that the demolition policy would change. Maybe in two years, this area will be demolished again."

After saying that, he waved his hand, indicating to his parents not to ask any more questions, as it was a secret.

The three women, including Grandma Tian, ​​looked at each other, still feeling a little reluctant to part with their self-built house.

But in the end, Grandma Tian made the decision and decided to listen to her granddaughter!

"Anyway, it's rare for me to stay there on weekdays, and I don't come to the provincial capital often. I only stay a few days when Chongyi comes to the city to keep you company during holidays."

Fearing her daughter might still hesitate, Grandma Tian patted Huang Ying on the shoulder and explained.

Huang Ying nodded, "Okay, then I'll call the landlord tomorrow to arrange a meeting to sign the contract."

With the house purchase settled, Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

After Gao Qingya and the others bought the groceries, Grandma Tian got up and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Feeling embarrassed, Qi Lianxin quickly followed. Although she couldn't do any heavy work, she could teach the old lady how to use the kitchen appliances and gas stove.

Gao Qingya and Jiang Yu also thoughtfully helped out in the kitchen.

Jiang Qiyue was taken to her room by her father.

The little guy looked at the suddenly serious atmosphere in the living room with a puzzled expression and asked:
"Dad, what are Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle doing?"

Jiang Baohai explained, "The adults want to talk about some things."

He grabbed a toy and coaxed, "Let's not bother Mommy yet. Daddy will play house with you, okay?"

Jiang Qiyue's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly. Her father hadn't played house with her in a long time, and the little one was incredibly excited. (End of Chapter)
