Chapter 957 With a house comes a home
Lu Qiaoge was unaware of what had happened at the Song family's home, and Lu Qiaoling wouldn't tell her either; Meng Xia was naturally even less aware.
At this time, both Mengxia and Grandma Lu were in Beidu.
Although Beidu is great in every way, Grandma Lu still thinks her home is the best.
When I was at home in Jiangcheng, I could open the front and back windows and let in a cross breeze without needing a fan.
Especially since their place was near Hongxing Lake, the temperature was a few degrees lower than in the city, and it wasn't as hot even in summer, which was really comfortable, while it was already very hot in the north at this time.
But when it's cool in the north, Xiao Si is about to take the college entrance exam, so he definitely can't come.
This happened after they finished their college entrance exams, according to Beidu.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been thinking about going back home these past few days.
However, Lu Qiaoge gave the house to Meng Xia, and the property deed was in Meng Xia's name.
At this moment, Meng Xia held the property ownership certificate in her hand. Although it was just a piece of paper now, her eyes were red.
Buying and selling houses and transferring ownership is very difficult nowadays, but actually, it can be quite easy if you have connections.
Therefore, the house that Lu Qiaoge bought was directly registered under Meng Xia's name.
The houses allocated were all government-owned, but the registered names were basically those of the head of household, who was the head of the family. In the Lu family, it was Lu Da.
So when I saw her name, Meng Xia, on this piece of paper, I had an indescribable feeling. My daughter is definitely the most considerate.
Meng Xia suppressed her emotions and asked Lu Qiaoge in a low voice, "Do you not want children now, or do you not have children at all?"
Now that my daughter is married, I can ask her these kinds of questions.
After all, the family is expecting a new member, but Qiao Ge has been married for a long time and there's still no sign of a baby.
Even if others don't say it to his face, they can guess what they're talking about behind his back.
At this age, she should actually have children, and while she's still young, she could even retire early to help her daughter take care of her child.
After all, her in-laws work at a research institute. Although they can sometimes leave work on time, if there are projects, they will stay at the research institute for ten days or half a month without going home. So, she is the only one who can take care of her daughter's child.
But she still hasn't gotten pregnant, which is quite worrying.
Lu Qiaoge knew her physical condition; even without going to the hospital for a checkup, she was perfectly normal.
However, in order to silence their family members, she and Qin Hengzhi both went to the hospital for checkups.
Lu Qiaoge gave the medical report to Meng Xia and said, "We are both healthy, maybe our time just hasn't come yet."
Grandma Lu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, parents and children are destined to be together. They will come when the time is right. Don't rush them. Look at our Qiao Ge. She's only in her twenties, but she looks like she's seventeen or eighteen. She's also very healthy. I've never seen her get sick in all these years, not even a headache or fever."
At this point, the old lady paused, looking at Lu Qiaoge, trying to recall what the child was like before. But no matter how hard she tried, her memory seemed hazy; she only remembered that the child seemed to be in good health.
In this day and age, if a child has a headache or fever, they can just take a painkiller and that's it. Which parent would take it seriously?
So Grandma Lu continued, "Don't worry, the more anxious you are, the less likely it is to happen. Just let nature take its course, and it might come at any time."
Lu Qiaoge thought so too. She didn't rule out having a baby, but she wasn't particularly looking forward to it either.
After all, she has so many adorable kids now. Everyone talks about naughty or mischievous children, but those adorable kids can be her companions or even her children.
Oh, let's exclude the old turtle and the big pike; those two are truly experienced and old.
This topic can't be discussed all the time.
Grandma Lu asked about Luo Aijun, saying, "Your mother and I are planning to go back soon. When is Xiaojun's grandmother coming? Is she planning to meet the child in Beidu, or will she go to Jiangcheng to visit Chu Sulan as well?"
Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment about the phone call Luo Ziwen had made to her, and said, "The formalities are now complete. The old lady is too excited and has been having trouble sleeping these past few days, which has caused her blood pressure to rise. She will have to wait a few more days before she can come. She wants to go to Beidu first to see her grandson, and she also said she wants to go to Jiangcheng to see Chu Sulan."
At this point, Lu Qiaoge paused for a moment before continuing, "The old lady said she wanted to visit Chu Sulan's parents as well. She said that Luo Ziwen ate a lot of Chu Sulan's mother's cooking back then."
Grandma Lu pursed her lips, then sighed. She didn't know the exact details of Luo Ziwen's family situation, but she knew the general outline.
Grandma Lu said, "I'm not talking behind people's backs, but Xiaojun's grandma isn't much better. Of course, that might also be related to her personality. She can't stand on her own two feet and has always listened to men. If they tell her to go east, she wouldn't dare to go west; if they tell her to beat a dog, she wouldn't dare to scold a chicken. But shouldn't you at least remember some kindness in your heart? And that Luo Ziwen, he's really just so-so."
Meng Xia said from the side, "If everything in this world were to be understood clearly and explicitly, we wouldn't be able to live our lives."
Grandma Lu naturally knew that her daughter-in-law was right.
To be honest, my son's temper isn't exactly great either. When he was younger, he would yell at me whenever he wanted, and although he never laid a hand on me, he wasn't very willing to do any housework.
Although this is related to his overworked state, he still has flaws, at least compared to Hengzhi, he is really far inferior.
Oh, of course, I feel like no one can compare to Hengzhi.
Even Song Shaowen wouldn't do.
She couldn't say anything about the three Song brothers and their eldest sister-in-law, and she couldn't control her gossipy second sister-in-law either. Why didn't she believe in that superstition?
Ultimately, it's either because they don't want to offend anyone, or they turn a blind eye, thinking, "You haven't bothered me at all, so whatever."
Of course, these are all other people's business. But Xiaojun is a sensible and filial child. He used to call her Grandma Lu, but now he just calls her Grandma. He always brings her the best food he makes at home. When he goes up the mountain to pick wild fruits in the autumn, he never forgets her.
She said to Lu Qiaoge, "If we don't want to cause them any trouble, your mother and I will stay here for a while longer, and then go back to Jiangcheng with them. Although she is Xiaojun's biological grandmother, we have never met her since she was born. Apart from blood ties, what feelings do we have? She is not even as close as us two strangers. With your mother and me by his side, Xiaojun can stand up straighter. After all, that old lady is a wealthy old lady now, and who knows how she will view Xiaojun."
Lu Qiaoge nodded in agreement: "If I have time then, I'll go back to Jiangcheng with you."
Meng Xia immediately beamed with joy, and then said, "I don't think it's necessary anymore, so let's not keep running back and forth. You've now set up a house for us, and to be honest, having a house means having a home. If we miss you, we'll come to Beidu to see you, and we can also come here to have some fun."
