Meanwhile, Father Wei and Mother Wei went to check the other two houses and found the houses' condition was worse than the first one.
While the location was nearer to the village, they couldn't move in directly. After they discussed it for a while, they finally made up their mind.
Father Wei turned to Han Jinhe and said, "Comrade Han, we will take the first house."
Han Jinhe nodded, wrote on the document, and replied, "Then, I will send the two of you to Comrade Chen Gang's house first."
"Thank you for your help, Comrade."
The three of them walked back to the village, and after almost forty minutes, finally arrived at Chen Gang's house. Before they even entered the house, Father Wei and Mother Wei already heard the cheerful laughter from inside.
Han Jinhe unloaded their luggage from his bicycle and said, "Comrade Wei, I will send the document regarding the house tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"Okay, sorry for bothering you, Comrade Han," Father Wei replied with a smile.
Not long after Han Jinhe left, the gate was opened and Chen Gang greeted them with a smile. "In-laws, you are here. Please come in."
The Wei old couple was taken aback by his enthusiasm and could only return the smile while saying, "In-law, we apologize for not informing you before we came to visit."
Chen Gang waved his hands, helped them carry the luggage, and said, "In-law, we are family. So, there is no need to be so polite with each other. My wife and children just finished cooking lunch. Come in, we are only waiting for the two of you to eat together."
Under his urging, the Wei old couple could only enter the yard with awkward smiles.
After closing the gate, Chen Gang led them to the house as he said, "In-law, I heard from Mingze and Yuze about your visit and also learned that you plan to stay here for a long time."
"Since the house allocated to you needs some renovation, why not stay in my place first? When the house has been repaired, you can move out."
Father Wei was embarrassed by his hospitality and said, "That would be too troublesome for you and your family. We can just move into the house first and slowly repair it later."
Just when he said this, Wu Yahui came out from the kitchen holding a basket of steamed buns and heard his words. She looked at the old couple and said, "Uncle Wei, what's bothering and not bothering?"
"Those empty houses have been long abandoned, and there are a lot of places that need to be repaired. If you stay there, how can you repair it?"
"It is still better for you and Aunt Wei to stay here. We have prepared a room for the two of you, so just stay here with peace of mind," she added.
"This—" Mother Wei looked at her husband.
