Chapter 133: Grandpa Fat’s 130 monthly tickets add-on Chapter for 480

The car sped all the way and stopped at a large courtyard after forty minutes. Under the illumination of the street lights, Li Xianglu saw that there was someone on guard by the gate, which only had a prominent house number with no other markings.

After the car asked for permission at the gate, three people came over to salute and then began to check the things in the back, and even rummaged through the small sling bags of the three of them.

These past couple of days Li Xianglu was nearing her period, so she had prepared sanitary pads in her bag. The young soldier didn’t know what it was and scrutinized it in his hands, while an older face beside him instantly darkened.

Li Xianglu also felt extremely awkward. Could she still use that thing after it had been touched by someone else?

After inspection, the car drove directly into the residential area, which had six-story buildings in the front and standalone buildings further in, somewhat similar to the place where Grandpa Lan lived.

The car arrived at the base of a two-story building. There were already two or three people waiting at the door, and Mr. Li clearly saw the waiting party under the streetlight’s glow. As soon as the car stopped, he couldn’t wait to get out and walked up quickly, "Lao Pang, well, I’ll be, you old thing, look at how spry you are!"

Called Lao Pang, was a chubby old man with squinting eyes, next to him was a man as tall and plump as him supporting him, and a thin young man stood beside them.

Li Xianglu and the others got out of the car, and their belongings were moved inside by the guards.

The living room was brightly lit, with mahogany flooring all around, and a piano was placed in the sitting area, along with a gramophone that was especially striking.

Li Xianglu took a quick look around the house and followed Qin Xi inside.

Mr. Li greeted Li Xianglu and the Qin brothers, then said to his old buddy, "Lao Pang, this is my granddaughter, Li Xianglu; next to her are the second son of the Qin family’s two boys, that is Qin Shen from the missile office. His two grandsons also got into college this time, so I’ve brought them back." Then he said to the three children standing by his side, "This is Grandpa Pang, one of your grandpa’s old comrades-in-arms."

The three of them called out in unison, "Hello, Grandpa Pang!" it sounded like "Hello, Grandpa Fat!" The chubby Mr. Pang glared at Mr. Li and with annoyance said, "You old rascal, still mischievous with your old age." Then he turned to the kids, "Come on, take a seat and eat. Make yourself at home and don’t be shy."

The dining room was just around the corner of the stairs; people took their seats, and an auntie brought dishes out from the adjoining kitchen, likely having just reheated them.

Meanwhile, a woman in her forties came down from upstairs and stood next to the old man, smiling warmly at everyone.

Mr. Pang coughed and introduced his companion to his old friend, "Old buddy, this is my wife, He Xiang." The he spoke to He Xiang, "This is the old buddy I mentioned before, Li Huai Ren."

The woman was well-maintained, with shiny black hair, dressed in a black and red plaid pajama set, with a short haircut, she could be mistaken for a woman in her thirties if not looked at closely.

Li Xianglu and Qin Xi both got up and called her Granny Pang and then sat down at her gentle gesture.

Mr. Li just glanced and nodded slightly without saying a word.

The food was quite good, with braised pork, braised yellow croaker, stir-fried eggs with green onions, a bowl of pork chunks, and a whole stewed chicken. Apart from Qin Zhen, who was enjoying his meal, Grandpa Li, Qin Xi, and Li Xianglu had just one bowl of rice and drank some soup before they stopped.

By now, it was eleven o’clock, and it was not appropriate to talk any longer. Qin Xi and Qin Zhen slept in a room upstairs, and Grandpa Li and Li Xianglu were downstairs.

Everyone simply said goodnight and went off to sleep.

Li Xianglu checked the bedsheets, which were brand new, and Granny Pang had also shown her how to use the shower head. There was hot water available 24 hours.

Li Xianglu felt she hadn’t had a proper wash all winter, so she decided to take a bath before sleeping.

As she came out with her clothes, she saw Qin Xi and Qin Zhen washing their hands, face, and feet in the bathroom, so she walked over.

Qin Xi looked at the girl’s lazy appearance, stretched out his big hand to ruffle her hair, and said, "Don’t take too long."

Li Xianglu nodded, "Not too long, I’m also tired," although she was on a sleeper berth, she still felt her body swaying as if on the train.

Qin Xi glanced at her brother who was drying his feet and turned her head, "We’ll head back after breakfast tomorrow."

Li Xianglu was startled, "Go back? Back where?"

Faced with Li Xianglu’s confused look, Qin Xi couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek, only laughing and saying, "Of course, back home."

Li Xianglu suddenly remembered, right, Uncle Qin is in the capital now, and so is the Qin Family Grandpa; she heard that they even divided up property.

Does that mean we have to part ways?

Seeing the clear reluctance in Li Xianglu’s eyes, Qin Xi smiled, "We’re just going back for two days, also to find out if there’s a four-bedroom courtyard house for sale. Don’t you want to live in a courtyard house?"

Li Xianglu’s eyes sparkled, then she expressed her concern, "The price might be quite steep, right?"

Qin Xi smiled, "You don’t have to worry about money. I’ll take care of it."

Li Xianglu blushed, suddenly recalling a saying from her past life, "I’m in charge of being beautiful, and you’re in charge of earning money for the family," how shameless.

The Qin brothers went upstairs, and Li Xianglu quickly turned on the shower and started washing. The bathroom wasn’t small at all, with a strong water flow; ah, the convenience of living in a big city is just unbeatable, at the very least life is more convenient.

When she came out after her shower, the living room lights were off, but the corridor lights were still on. Li Xianglu quickly covered up with a towel and went into her room.

Lying on the clean spring mattress, she didn’t feel like getting up at all, but her hair was still wet. She quickly found a power outlet, charged her table lamp, and began to dry her hair. By the time her hair was dry, Li Xianglu was too sleepy to keep her eyes open.

She fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down, and when Li Xianglu woke up again, it was already bright daylight.

She looked groggily at the watch on the nightstand, it was just after 7 o’clock. Why was it so bright? Li Xianglu crawled out of bed and saw that it was snowing outside, covered in a silvery glow.

The heating in the room was just perfect, Li Xianglu curled up in the blankets again.

She awoke again to the sound of Grandpa knocking at the door.

Li Xianglu called out that she was awake and then got up. The heating in the room was sufficient; she found a pair of black pants and a red cashmere sweater from her Storage Ring, put them on, and then went out.

She had barely stepped out when she heard a whistle.

Li Xianglu frowned and looked over to see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy leaning against the bathroom wall, eyeing her up and down.

Li Xianglu frowned, a look of disgust on her face, as if she had seen something dirty.

Outside, Qin Xi, who was eating, heard the whistle and came over. She saw the scene and said to Li Xianglu, "Wash up and come eat."

Li Xianglu nodded, and the young man, looking somewhat embarrassed, retreated back to the living room.
