The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Chapter 208 Considering a Job Change

Although the unit price of 1.5 is still low in the urban area of ​​Yutian, Nanjiao is a suburb after all, and this has directly set a new high for second-hand houses in ordinary residential areas.

"Why don't we sell it? We can come back and buy a bigger house so we can be closer to our parents."

Zhong Yunxing was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.

Darong didn't respond. In fact, she was undecided.

For Darong and Zhong Yunxing, no matter how good the development prospects of their community are, it is a remote place far away from home and cannot compare to the town where they grew up.

But that house is closer to Ruyi's home, so Darong is indeed a little hesitant in her heart.

As the Spring Festival approached, Ruyi quit her job at the firm and became a full-time housewife at home, but she never dared to tell Darong about her resignation.

Fortunately, Darong was busy taking care of the elderly with Zhong Yunxing and did not notice anything wrong.

Ruyi goes to Mother Zhong's house almost every weekend, on the one hand to visit Father and Mother Zhong, and on the other hand to spend more time with her parents.

"Your grandfather has been talking about it recently. When he was young, his unit organized a trip to Fengjing to see the Imperial Palace. At that time, you had to pay to bring extra family members. Your family didn't have the conditions, so your grandmother didn't go. He has regrets in his heart. Now that his brain is not good, he remembers this incident more clearly."

When Darong and Ruyi were chatting in the inner room, they suddenly looked at Mr. Zhong who was dozing off on the sofa and said.

"It only takes half an hour to get to Fengjing now." Ruyi answered casually.

"But mom doesn't know how to buy tickets and doesn't know the place. I'm so stupid now..."

"Do you want me to take my grandparents with me?" Ruyi understood what Darong meant and asked directly.

"Your grandpa is in such bad shape that I won't bother with it. I want to take your grandma with me. Things are different now than before. It won't cost much to stay for two days. Your grandma and grandpa have been able to travel every year in recent years, but your grandma has never left Yutian."

Darong has this kind of personality. She has made it a habit to feel sorry for others. No matter if it is dissatisfaction or injustice, it seems that she can always feel sorry for others faster than others when it comes time to do so.

In Darong's view, frictions are inevitable with biological parents, and no matter how much friction there is with parents-in-law, they are still family members.

"Sure, we can go whenever we want. It's so easy to go to Fengjing from here. Just tell me when you plan to go."

Darong looked at Ruyi's expression and smiled with great relief.

After Darong and Zhong Yunxing discussed it, they decided to travel in May. In the following month, Lian Ruyi could already feel Zhong's mother's anticipation and excitement.

"I feel like my grandma can't wait. I think the temperature is still okay these two days. Let's go early. It's so painful to wait like this."

Ruyi discussed it happily with Darong, and Darong couldn't help but told Mother Zhong directly after setting the time, making the old lady wait in anticipation every day.

"That's fine. I'll go with you. Your grandma's legs are not in good condition, so she'll have to sit in a wheelchair the whole way. I can still lend you a hand."

Ruyi looked at the weather forecast again and felt that the temperature was acceptable, so she immediately booked a ticket for the weekend.

In the spring of 2014, Ruyi and his wife and Darong helped Zhong's mother realize her dream of living in the palace. She finally knew where the emperor lived.

"Ruyi, this is your portion." Before Ruyi even sat down after returning home, Mr. Zhong gave her a thumbs up to express his praise.

The old man hadn't expressed himself so clearly in many years, but that day he sat on the sofa and recounted many stories from his youth.

"My grandfather's mind is quite clear today. He didn't curse anyone during all this time." Ruyi covered her mouth and laughed.

Since Mr. Zhong's brain became poor, he often curses people for no reason, but he is more targeted. He curses his son casually but does not curse his daughter-in-law at all, so no one can tell whether he is really confused or just pretending to be confused.

"Your grandfather is happy. You taking grandma to Fengjing has actually relieved his regret." Zhong Yunxing tapped Ruyi's forehead happily. Of course, he knew who Ruyi was referring to.

While the father and daughter were chatting, the sound of the door opening was heard. After get off work, Zhong Yunsheng came directly to Zhong's mother's house today and brought two bags of vegetables, meat and eggs.

"Uncle, you bought so many things." Ruyi got up and went to the door to take the things that Zhong Yunsheng brought.

"Well, you're back today? I thought it would be tomorrow." Zhong Yunsheng said casually when he saw Mrs. Zhong and Ruyi coming home.

"Lao Du has to go to work tomorrow, so we bought tickets and came back in the afternoon."

"Xiao Du is at work, aren't you going to work?"

After hearing what Zhong Yunsheng said, Ruyi subconsciously turned around to look at Zhong Yunsheng who was still standing at the door and had just changed his shoes, but she happened to meet Zhong Yunsheng's gaze.

Ruyi was already feeling guilty, and when Zhong Yunsheng glared at her, her heartbeat quickened.

"Ah, come on too." After saying that, Ruyi quickly ran to the kitchen to put things away.

Darong was tired after her outing and stayed in the inner room to rest after she came back. She only got up and came out when she heard Zhong Yunsheng coming.

"The old man is here. Jixiang will take the exam soon. You don't have to come here so often. Just take care of the child. Your brother and I are here. Don't worry about him."

Ruyi listened to the polite greetings between Darong and Zhong Yunsheng in the kitchen and did not dare to go out for a long time.

It seemed that Zhong Yunsheng was her nemesis since she was a child. Ruyi, who was not afraid of her parents, was very afraid of Zhong Yunsheng. The eye contact just now almost made her confess her resignation.

"Ruyi, are you going to make dinner?"

What you fear will come true. Ruyi hid and did not dare to go out, but Zhong Yunsheng followed her directly into the kitchen and asked calmly while looking at Ruyi who was standing next to the sink.

"Ah? I can't." Ruyi looked at Zhong Yunsheng innocently and told the truth.

"If you don't have anything to discuss with you, please come out. I just happen to have something to talk to you about." After Zhong Yunsheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Ruyi sighed and followed Zhong Yunsheng out of the kitchen.

"A friend of mine just opened a firm and needs help in the early stages of his career. Would you consider changing jobs?"

In front of Darong and Zhong Yunxing, Zhong Yunsheng directly talked to Ruyi about job hopping, which made Ruyi a little confused and she didn't know how to respond.

"Ah? Oh... um... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it and it would be embarrassing for you..."

Ruyi hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.
