Chapter 124

"Come on, give it to me."

Chen Mo watched Da Mai struggling to carry the suitcase out of the room and offered to help.

"Thank you."

Da Mai stayed back for half a month this time. Seeing that Nana has come to terms with it, she is ready to go back.

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing also waited in the yard with their suitcases.

Since they decided to start a business here, they had to go back to BJ, give up the house they rented before, and move all their things away.

"We can go now. The shuttle bus is already at the door." Nana walked in and said.

The roads in the village are narrow and it is not easy for vehicles to enter, but with the increasing number of tourists recently, the village has also been equipped with several small and medium-sized sightseeing shuttle buses to pick up and drop off tourists.

"Nana, don't forget about tomorrow's matter," Xu Hongdou warned.

"Don't worry, I remember it."

"The plates will arrive tomorrow. You must confirm the color and model. Only let them unload them if they are sure there are no problems. If there are any problems, just send them back. I will take a video and send it to you then."

Nana repeated Xu Hongdou's previous instructions.

Xu Hongdou felt relieved after hearing that. She had originally planned to wait until the materials for the B&B arrived before returning to BJ to process the cancellation of the lease.

Anyway, the rent for this month has already been paid, so it makes no difference if I pay it a few days earlier or later.

But the day before yesterday, Chen Mo received a call from the landlord, who said that he urgently needed money and was going to sell the house in the next two days. He didn't plan to rent it out anymore and needed Chen Mo to move out as soon as possible, so they went back a few days earlier than originally planned.

It just so happened that the flight times of several of our people were similar to that of Damai, so we all agreed to go together.

Nana is the only one who can take charge of the B&B construction site.

Fortunately, the construction team was introduced by Xie Zhiyao and was quite reliable, so Xu Hongdou felt quite relieved.

"I'm counting on you for the next few days. We'll be back as soon as possible."

Chen Nanxing patted Nana's shoulder, as if entrusting her with an important task.

Nana smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will make sure to complete the mission."

capital.

Chen Mo, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing walked out of the airport with their luggage.

"It's back again."

Chen Nanxing couldn't help but take a deep breath, then nodded, "It's still the familiar exhaust fumes."

Xu Hongdou said with a smile: "Then you should breathe more in the next two days. You won't be able to breathe for a while."

Chen Nanxing didn't care. "What I breathe in is not the dust in the air, but the prosperity of the big city."

"You two, let's find a place to eat, or have you felt full from breathing so much air?" Chen Mo laughed.

"Forget it, there's nothing delicious at the airport and we're not that hungry, so let's go home and pack up." Chen Nanxing waved his hand.

The house rented by Chen Nanxing was not in the same area as Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou, so it would be troublesome to find a new place to eat.

It would be better to just go our separate ways and solve the problem separately.

Now that we all live in the same courtyard, we eat together every day, so this meal doesn’t matter.

Xu Hongdou thought so too and nodded, "Okay, then tell me when you get home."

"OK, let's go."

Chen Nanxing waved his hand and left with his luggage in a casual manner.

They will be going back to Yunnan together in a few days, so there is no need to be pretentious.

"Let's go, let's go home directly." Chen Mo took Xu Hongdou's hand.

"Knowing you're coming, my mom must have prepared a lot of food tonight."

"Yeah." Xu Hongdou pursed her lips.

This time when they came back, Chen Mo planned to bring Xu Hongdou back home to live.

Chen Mo has already lived in Xu Hongdou's house in Zibo, so this time when he comes back he will definitely bring Xu Hongdou home to live with him.

The house they rented has not been occupied for several months, so there must be a lot of dust. Besides, they are going to move out soon, so there is no need to go back and forth again.

"Has your landlord said when we're going to move out?" Xu Hongdou asked.

"It seems they said they will sign the contract tomorrow." Chen Mo thought for a moment, "I don't have much stuff there anyway, I can go over and pack it up tomorrow, it will be done quickly."

Xu Hongdou nodded. "Then clean up your rented room first tomorrow, and then clean up mine."

"Row."

Thinking of this check-out, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing:

"Originally, my deposit was deducted, but now I can not only get my deposit back, but also get an additional penalty."

If Chen Mo takes the initiative to cancel the lease in a few days, his deposit will be deducted.

But now the landlord has terminated the lease early due to selling the house, which is a breach of contract by the landlord.

Sale and purchase does not invalidate the lease. If the landlord sells the house, the tenant's lease remains valid.

If the buyer also wants to rent out the property, the lease can be transferred through negotiation; if the buyer does not want to continue renting the property, the seller must settle the lease.

In addition to returning the deposit, the landlord also has to pay an additional penalty.

"It's like you originally wanted to resign and change jobs, but when you were about to submit your resignation letter, the company laid you off and you got extra compensation." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"That's true." Chen Mo smiled, "It's just enough to cover the deposit for your house."

"The deposit for this house should have been paid by Wen, right?" Xu Hongdou asked.

The house was originally rented by Jiang Congwen. Chen Mo moved in and paid rent to the landlord, but the deposit was still paid by Jiang Congwen when he first signed the contract.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll just tell him that I'm moving out early and the landlord will just deduct my deposit."

Xu Hongdou didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. "Is this appropriate for you?"

"It's okay, just let him be a witness to the gift we gave together."

Chen Mo felt at ease and didn't feel guilty at all about embezzling his brother's money.

Xu Hongdou blinked, "Then don't we need to follow the literary gift when getting married?"

"Of course I want it." Chen Mo's eyes widened. "Marriage is a gift for marriage, and now it's a gift for dating. How can this be considered a one-time gift?"

"Besides, the deposit is just a small amount. Lao Jiang is making a lot of money now. If we don't charge him more, we will be looking down on him."

Xu Hongdou shook her head and said with emotion: "Having a brother like you is really a blessing for Lao Jiang."

Chen Mo deeply agreed, "I think so too."

Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Mo and asked, "Can't you tell the difference between what I am saying and what I am saying?"

"Huh? Aren't you praising me?" Chen Mo pretended to be confused.

"If you say so, then so be it." Xu Hongdou was used to Chen Mo's shamelessness.

"Hey, bring your wife home for dinner." Chen Mo shook the hand holding Xu Hongdou's.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes and quietly held Chen Mo's hand.

"Come on, Hongdou, eat more." Fang Shuyun picked up some food for Xu Hongdou.

"Thank you Auntie, I can do it myself."

They had been here once before, and now Xu Hongdou and Fang Shuyun get along much more naturally.

"Eat more. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't be able to eat so many dishes." Chen Mo joked.

There were a wide variety of dishes on the table, all prepared by Fang Shuyun.

"When you go to Yunnan, Hongdou will send us things every day, such as ham, milk bean curd, porcini mushrooms, and flower cakes."

"Look at yourself again, I'm embarrassed to say anything to you." Fang Shuyun looked disgusted.

"I saw that Red Bean had been sent to you, so I didn't send any. We can't finish the extra ones."

"And Hongdou's feelings also represent my feelings, they are the same." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You are so shameless." Fang Shuyun glanced at him.

"Hey, Hongdou is my girlfriend. Without me, you would not have received so many things. So is this all due to my contribution?" Chen Mo said firmly.

"Listen to what your son said." Fang Shuyun looked at Chen Huaisong.

Chen Huaisong sighed, "Son, you still have to have some face."

Chen Mo said seriously, "Dad, if I had the dignity to do so, could I bring you such a beautiful daughter-in-law? If you had the dignity to do so, could you have married my mom?"

"." Chen Huaisong. Fang Shuyun nodded in agreement when he heard this: "That's true. You and your son are in the same vein in this respect."

Chen Huaisong couldn't help but think in his heart: Listen to what you said, isn't it obvious who your son inherited his genes from?
Listening to this conversation, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Sometimes Xu Hongdou wondered whether the reason why she and Chen Mo could get along so well was because their family atmospheres were similar, which led to their harmonious auras.

After dinner, Fang Shuyun took Xu Hongdou to the living room to chat about family matters.

Chen Mo and Chen Huaisong were in the courtyard, chatting between father and son.

"I heard that you are planning to start a new company recently."

"Well, I want to try my hand in the field of short videos and live broadcasts."

Chen Mo could mobilize the company's resources without going through Chen Huaisong, but Chen Huaisong would definitely know what he had done.

"So when do you plan to come back and take over the company? I'm looking forward to retiring soon."

"Dad, you are young and strong now. You can work for another ten or eight years without any problem." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Chen Huaisong glanced at Chen Mo and said, "Do I have to live to old age and be exhausted? Can't you let me enjoy a peaceful life a few years earlier?"

Chen Mo quickly massaged Chen Huaisong's shoulders and said, "Since Hongdou is starting a business, I must have been to Yunnan more often in the past two years. You don't want your son to be single, do you?"

"Why don't you help Hongdou start a business from BJ?"

Chen Huaisong and Fang Shuyun knew that Xu Hongdou was going to open a B&B.

After all, Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou had met each other's parents and were obviously planning on getting married.

The two people's future plans must be made known to their families on both sides.

Chen Mo had a smile on his face. "She said that she can do things according to her ability. It is indeed more suitable for her to start there."

Chen Huaisong could probably guess what Xu Hongdou was thinking, "It's good to work hard on your own, but our family has the resources after all, so don't let Hongdou be too shy."

"Don't worry, Dad." Chen Mo nodded with a smile, "I'm here with her."

"Yeah." Chen Huaisong nodded, somewhat helplessly, "I was hoping you would take over sooner, but now you've gone to Yunnan."

"It's up to you." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You stayed in Shenzhen to develop your career because you wanted to be closer to your hometown, but in the end you came to BJ because of my mom."

Chen Huaisong waved his hand. "In the 1980s and 1990s, Shenzhen's economy was developing rapidly, and there were indeed many opportunities."

"But your mother is an artist, and Shenzhen didn't have the rich cultural soil like Beijing and Shanghai at that time."

"It doesn't matter where I go. BJ is the capital, the economy is developing well, and there are a lot of opportunities, so it's not that different."

"Isn't this the same as what I am experiencing now?" Chen Mo clapped his hands.

"Hongdou is engaged in the physical industry, and they cannot do without people; I am not engaged in the physical industry, so things can be arranged flexibly in many cases."

Chen Huaisong didn't say anything after hearing this, but talked about another matter: "Since you have chosen Hongdou and have gone to her house to meet her parents, then you should have some rules for getting married, right?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh, "My mom asked you to ask, right?"

Chen Huaisong shrugged, turned his head and looked into the room, and said, "What do you think your mother can talk about with Hongdou now?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about my performance when I went to Hongdou's house, what her parents think of me, and then try to find out our thoughts and plans on getting married."

"That's good to know." Chen Huaisong nodded.

Both father and son obviously knew the mistress of the family very well.

"Alas, you said before that you wouldn't urge me to get married once I found a girlfriend." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

"You believe this?" Chen Huaisong smiled. "It's just like when your teacher tells you 'everything will be easy after you finish the college entrance exam'. It's all to urge you to complete your life tasks at that stage."

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh, "It's true, my mother is my teacher, she fooled me, a student, in many ways."

Chen Huaisong shook his head. "There's nothing I can do. Last month, Aunt Li from your mom's school had another granddaughter. Your mom is envious again."

"No wonder." Chen Mo laughed, "Aunt Li's son is one year younger than me, right?"

"Actually, your mother just wants to understand what you think. If you really want to get married, she won't urge you." Chen Huaisong said softly.

"After all, marriage is not a joke. She also hopes that you can think clearly whether you are destined to be with each other in this life."

"I know." Chen Mo nodded.

In fact, after Chen Mo started dating Hongdou, Fang Shuyun no longer put pressure on him.

At most, it's like what we are doing now, trying to understand the situation indirectly.

It’s a pity that parents all over the world are worried about their children forever.

"Don't worry, Dad. I know what I'm doing." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"It's good to have an idea." Chen Huaisong said nothing more.

Chen Huaisong was not as worried about Chen Mo's marriage as Fang Shuyun. He believed that children and grandchildren would have their own blessings.

The main reason is that Chen Huaisong believes that the son he taught will have his own judgment and ideas.

The next day.

After breakfast, Chen Mo drove with Xu Hongdou back to the community where they rented a house.

The familiar elevator, the familiar 11th floor, the familiar 1101 and 1102.

Xu Hongdou walked into the room and looked around. "Nothing has changed."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "If there is any change, then we will be robbed."

"That's right." Xu Hongdou nodded, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chen Mo walked up to Xu Hongdou and said, "What's wrong? You're feeling sentimental after revisiting the old place."

"I don't know why, but I feel very different when I return to BJ this time." Xu Hongdou felt a little confused for a moment.

"What's different?"

"Maybe my mood has changed." Xu Hongdou thought for a moment, "I no longer ask for anything from this city. We are both relieved and feel that there are more possibilities in the future."

Chen Mo nodded, "Mr. Xu's future is definitely bright, and I'm still waiting for you to support me."

Xu Hongdou raised her eyebrows, "No problem, I'll ask you to carry my bag and bring me water for washing my feet then."

"Okay, I'll help you bathe and rub your back, eat, play and sleep with you." Chen Mo hugged Xu Hongdou from behind and whispered in Xu Hongdou's ear.

Xu Hongdou gently pointed at Chen Mo's head and said, "You think about these things all day long."

Chen Mo kissed Xu Hongdou and said, "This shows that I am healthy and energetic."

"Since you are full of energy, let's start working." Xu Hongdou broke free from Chen Mo's arms.

"I still want to relive the old days. After all, this is where we met for the first time." Chen Mo said regretfully.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes and ignored him, turning around to clean up. "Hurry up and clean up. Won't the landlord come to collect the room soon?"

Chen Mo heard this and could only give up with regret, "Okay, let's get to work."

Since he hadn't planned to stay there for a long time, Chen Mo didn't buy too many things in the house, and he finished packing it up quickly.

When the two sat down to rest, the landlord arrived.

The two parties simply greeted each other, discussed the rent and deposit, and acted according to the contract, so there were no problems.

Soon after, the agent came with a woman in her thirties, who should be the buyer.

The woman had short hair, was tall and thin, and had an ordinary appearance, but she was very friendly and capable.

After the buyer and seller arrived, the woman took a quick look at the house, checked the water and electricity, and signed the contract smoothly.

After both parties signed the contract, the agent took out a string of firecracker-shaped Bluetooth voice players from somewhere.

The agent turned on the switch and the sound of firecrackers was heard.

"Congratulations to Sister Pei for signing the contract and officially settling down in BJ."

Seeing this, Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou also applauded and congratulated.

Xu Hongdou, in particular, was filled with emotion as she witnessed a migrant worker from Beijing settling down in BJ.

If you can buy a house and settle down in BJ, you are already a successful one among the millions of people who have moved to Beijing.

A few months ago, she was also one of the people struggling to cross this wave. Now, I wonder if going to Yunnan to start a business is a different way.

Sensing Xu Hongdou's emotions, Chen Mo hugged Xu Hongdou and said softly, "You also have a home in BJ."

Xu Hongdou turned and looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo said seriously: "Wherever I am, that is your home."

Xu Hongdou smiled sweetly, leaned her head against Chen Mo's shoulder, and said softly, "Yes, I know."
