Chapter 297 Can’t let go
If Xiao Yangzhi's mother still stayed in this family, Xu Mingyuan could guarantee 100% that she would never become like this.
She is like a dandelion seed floating in the wind, trying her best to take root.
If Yang Hongyu is a good wife and mother, then little Yang Zhi doesn't have to worry about the future and can be a good girl peacefully.
But now there is no one to back her up, and Yang Zhi has to fight for everything on her own. She has one little trick after another, all directed at Xu Mingyuan.
"Be honest with me."
Xu Mingyuan rubbed his temple and sighed.
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi bit her lips lightly and didn't mention it again.
We haven't lived here for long. The community posted a demolition notice last month, and we see people moving in every day.
Xu Mingyuan calculated the date and found that the demolition was about half a year earlier than he remembered. It looked like the demolition could be completed this year and the commercial area could be built next year, which would save another half a year.
A year in total is enough time to accomplish many things.
Xu Mingyuan looked at the mottled corridor and the smooth steps that had been trampled on, and felt a little emotional. Logically, he should have moved to the eastern suburbs, but now he moved to Nanhe. It was unpredictable.
What was most unpredictable for him was the small willow branch next to him. It was like a little follower, trying its best to get closer to him and was determined to wrap its roots around him.
In fact, it’s a good thing that we moved. The blocks near the plastic steel family building have all been demolished, and new buildings are under construction. The dust in the air makes it a hassle to open the windows.
The pile driver in the distance started making "ding-dong-dong" noises in the morning and continued until about ten o'clock in the evening, which almost made the nearby property owners nervous.
Then, after playing badminton for two hours outside, my sweat got mixed with dust, and when I got home and rinsed myself, the water was visibly turbid.
After Xu Mingyuan changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom, Xiao Yangzhi, who was standing in the living room, ran in.
Xiao Yangzhi has a mild obsession with mysophobia and doesn't want to sit even if there's dust on her body. It takes her twenty to thirty minutes to take a bath, but Xu Mingyuan didn't let her wait too long and she was clean in less than ten minutes.
Xu Mingyuan thought about what else needed to be sorted out at home. He had asked Xiao Yangzhi to pack up all the useful things, so he didn't need to worry about it.
After going to the study and seeing the long wooden desk, Xu Mingyuan thought he should take it away. Although it was a little old, it was something that had been with him since he was a child, so he could keep it as a memory.
Seeing the printer on the table, Xu Mingyuan went to find a hammer and smashed it in two. Feeling that it could not be repaired, he threw it aside and ignored it.
The computer also needs to be formatted. There are no important files in it, but there is still Xu Mingyuan's Internet information, account passwords and so on. It would be more convenient to clear them all.
Xu Jun was generous to others, and he would always give tips when he went out to eat, and he had the temperament of a local tycoon. The remaining furniture and appliances in the house were worth tens of thousands of yuan, which he handed over to his driver Liu Yang to deal with. As for whether to sell them or take them home for personal use, they were all considered employee benefits.
Xu Mingyuan had no right to control his old father. Since he had made the decision, there was no need for him as his son to interfere.
Xu Mingyuan's main task is to take care of Xiao Yangzhi. This little girl is not like a normal person and sometimes gives him a headache.
Yang Zhi, who had washed all her clothes, slipped in with wet hair.
Just now when she was in the bathroom, she heard the sound of something being smashed outside. When she saw the broken pieces of the printer on the table, she couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Brother, don't you want these anymore?"
Yang Zhi looked at the messy fragments on the table and frowned.
"No, there's plenty of things we need to buy over there, what else do we need these broken things for?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"You don't want a washing machine, a refrigerator, or an air conditioner?"
Yang Zhi confirmed with him again.
“All electrical appliances are gone.”
Xiao Yangzhi had pestered him countless times, but Xu Mingyuan, who had long been smoothed over, still answered without getting tired. He had known that he would move, and the electrical appliances he had bought were all cheap brands, so he didn't feel bad about throwing them away.
"Oh."
Yang Zhi pursed her lips and stood beside Xu Mingyuan.
After a while, he slowly sat down on the armrest of the chair.
Xu Mingyuan saw that she was struggling to move towards him, and her bent waist was almost blocking the monitor, so he simply hooked her waist and let Xiao Yangzhi sit sideways on his lap.
Yang Zhi sat obediently, leaning on his chest, watching Xu Mingyuan fiddling with the computer.
She swung her dangling calves, and felt uncomfortable with the armrests, so she pulled her calves back into the chair and snuggled into Xu Mingyuan's arms.
Xiao Yangzhi was not a petite girl. With her height of 172cm, the chair seemed a bit crowded. The natural and fresh scent after bathing, as well as the faint body fragrance, mixed together and made Xu Mingyuan's mind a mess.
The cotton home clothes could not block the moisture after bathing, and just like her hair, they were emitting water vapor, making the air around them a little hazy.
Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and wanted to push Xiao Yangzhi away, but when the broken hair brushed across his chin, the wonderful touch made him a little reluctant.
There was no air conditioning in the study, so Xu Mingyuan could bear it if he continued to hug her, but his little brother could not.
Xu Mingyuan couldn't browse the web anymore, so he quickly formatted his computer, picked up Xiao Yangzhi and threw her on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing him breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Zhi's eyes dimmed slightly.
My brother's thinking is so old-fashioned. It would be great if he could be as open-minded as me...
That night.
Of course, Xu Mingyuan would never agree to let Xiao Yangzhi sleep on a cushion.
She is very obedient, but she will find opportunities not to be obedient.
For example, the cushion is very narrow, and if you don't get close, you will fall off...
The moving process was delayed for a day, so Xu Mingyuan called a moving company early the next morning to move the long desk in the study.
Otherwise, if we keep procrastinating, Xiao Yangzhi will definitely choose to stay here tonight, and then we probably won't be able to move out until this house is demolished.
Yang Zhi had packed up all the things yesterday, and placed all the big and small bags on the ground.
She had to take her bedding with her, so after getting up and eating her last bowl of noodles, Yang Zhi packed up the unused sheets and put them aside.
They would not come back after this move. Seeing Xu Mingyuan staring out the window in a daze, Yang Zhi didn't know what to do. She just thought about completing her daily work and took the broom and dustpan.
"No need to sweep. The movers will come and wear shoes when they enter the house," said Xu Mingyuan.
"..."
Yang Zhi stood there for a while, and finally put down the broom in her hand. Her little mouth pursed and her eyes began to turn red.
I couldn't help feeling sad when I thought that the home I had taken such good care of was about to be destroyed.
"Everything should be forward-looking. People are not trees. How can we stay in the same place and not move?"
Xu Mingyuan pulled her to his side and asked her to sit down quietly.
"Well... I'm still a little happy..."
Yang Zhi rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and held back her tears.
"Tsk, why are you so hypocritical?"
Xu Mingyuan frowned, wondering if Xiao Yangzhi was influenced by him, and was about to become like him.
"Brother, why don't you move the cushions too..."
Yang Zhi held it in for a long time before finally speaking out what was in his mind.
Unexpectedly, the topic was suddenly changed by Xiao Yangzhi. Xu Mingyuan was stunned. Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, he said coldly: "Why move it? Where is the place to put it?"
"Brother, the room in our new home is so big, it can fit in your room. It's good for sitting and resting, or you can put it in front of the sofa as a footrest."
Yang Zhi whispered, trying to find a seemingly reasonable reason.
That beige cushion is the most expensive item I have ever chosen. How can I just throw it away?
“I also need to put up the table.”
Xu Mingyuan was so confused that he felt a headache. This unlucky girl was always thinking about how to trick him. If he had known this was going to happen, he should have decisively put an end to her little trick.
Now, even if Xu Mingyuan wants to end this abnormal brother-sister relationship, he can't think of a good way to solve it.
"The table can be placed in my room. I have a lot of stuff and I just want a table to put my ornaments on..."
Yang Zhi didn't look at him. She placed her hands on her knees and stared blankly at her toes. She decided to move the cushion away so that he would recall the past...
I am already feeling so miserable, my brother will definitely agree...
