Chapter 559
To be honest, after handing over the matter of buying a house to his sister, Cheng Mo never asked about it again. He had never even been to the new house.
His sister had taken care of everything, and later his mother-in-law and sister-in-law had joined in.
These two were mainly helping with the decoration of the house.
The house had previously been occupied, and the owners had only recently moved out. The owners happened to want to sell, and it wasn’t considered a bargain. After all, for a house in this location, as long as it was willing to sell, there would always be someone to buy it.
Cheng Mo didn’t know how Cheng Hua negotiated with the owner, but the house was acquired for a very reasonable price. Of course, the owner didn’t lose any money either.
He would never bully people, and he would never let his sister bully people either.
The first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, maid’s room, servant’s room, and a guest room. There is a lot of space. The second floor has a large study and four other rooms. The third floor is an attic, and there is a large terrace with an open view.
The house was built about ten years ago, and the owner has changed three times. He is considered the fourth owner.
After each owner took possession of the house, they made renovations in their own style, changing the floor tiles to their own preferences, knocking down the bathroom and replacing the bathtub, etc.
And there was the furniture.
After taking over, Cheng Hua didn’t change much, just packed up and disposed of things that didn’t work and that neither she nor Cheng Mo liked.
Anything that was not useful was also sent out, and some were simply given away.
Then she did a 鈥渟ubtraction鈥� of the home, and finally, the queen bed and all the furniture in the master bedroom were replaced, and everything else could be kept.
It’s a loss for the Republic of China. If this were the later generations, Cheng Mo would never allow him to do this.
This new stuff is definitely not good. There are too many artificial things in the later generations, and natural things are almost invisible. Can the mother and child live in it? Buy a baby crib.
The children are still young, and there is no problem with the two sleeping together. When they grow up, it’s not too late to sleep separately.
The nanny and her child also moved in together, and a crib was also prepared for her in the downstairs maid’s room.
The nanny’s child is also just a little over a month old and also needs to be taken care of.
Xiao Yu and Ouyang sleep in the maid’s room and the guest room, respectively. The four rooms upstairs are just enough for four people. Su Mo’er and the child share one room, and Cheng Mo shares the other. He works during the day, and if he breastfeeds the baby at night, he will get up frequently. How can he sleep? He can’t make up for it during the day, so during the month of confinement, he has a separate room, and then his sister Cheng Hua and his mother-in-law each have a room.
If other people move in, they will sleep in the attic.
There are two small rooms in the attic. After clearing out the contents, there is no problem sleeping two people.
In addition, there is a garage and a guest room.
If there is a real need, they can all be lived in.
After the arrangements were made, the family sat down and simply had a 鈥渉ouse-warming鈥� dinner, and the moving ceremony was over.
As for the children’s names, Cheng Mosi thought about it for a long time, but in the end he chose the lazy way, which was to combine his name with Su Mo’er’s. The older sister was named Cheng Mo, and the younger brother Cheng Su.
Hearing her husband’s random choice of names for the children, Su Mo’er could only helplessly roll her eyes. But you can’t say that the two names are not good.
These two children’s names are easy to choose, but what if you have more children in the future? Whose characters should you use?
This is how fathers are too perfunctory and not attentive.
Nevertheless, Su Moer accepted it. After all, among the two children’s names, one has their own surname and the other has their own name. What are you not satisfied with? …
Finally, I received news from Wenqiu that Isao Nakamura had made the arrangements.
We will meet at Juxiang Bookstore at 10 am on the weekend.
Chiyoko was to meet with Nakamura, but Nakamura would not be there in person. Cheng Mo was to explain everything to Chiyoko. Originally, Nakamura was to introduce himself and explain a bit, but then he thought it wasn’t necessary, so he simply let Cheng Mo himself explain the whole situation.
With an outsider present, there were many things that could not be said.
As agreed, Cheng Mo naturally had to arrive at the Juxiang Bookstore first, and then wait for Chiyoko inside in the identity of 鈥淢r. Nakamura鈥�.
On the weekend, Cheng Mo put on a little makeup, hailed a rickshaw and entered North Sichuan Road.
He got off at the Kunshan Road intersection, walked for a while, and made sure that no one was following or watching him before heading to the Chrysanthemum Fragrance Bookstore, almost ten minutes early.
Akira Kikuchi recognized Cheng Mo and motioned for him to go into the back room and wait.
Cheng Mo observed the customers in the store and saw nothing suspicious, so he pushed open the door and entered the back room.
Akira Kikuchi had already prepared the boiled water, tea and tea set inside.
As the time approached, Cheng Mo, who had felt a little relaxed, suddenly felt panicked and nervous.
Chiyoko was wearing a school uniform today, with a white sun hat, looking like a young female college student.
She actually had something to report to Nakamura about their meeting today, so she looked a little nervous too.
鈥淢iss is here, please come in, help yourself.鈥� Kikuchi Akira naturally knew Chiyoko as well, she was a regular here.
A Japanese-owned bookstore, it was not suspicious for a Japanese person who liked to read to frequent the bookstore.
Moreover, Kikuka Book House was quite famous in the area. After all, the owner of this bookstore was very capable, and he could always get hold of some foreign periodicals and books.
For book lovers, this was a place they liked to visit from time to time.
The Juxiang Bookstore has many customers, and even many high-ranking Japanese military officers in China often come here, which naturally forms a protective layer.
Chiyoko pretended to be looking for books all the way, walked past the bookshelves, and finally came to the door of the lounge. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she reached out and knocked gently on the door, then directly pushed the door open and slipped inside.
When she turned around, she saw the person sitting in front of her, and in shock quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.
鈥淢iss Ruan, or should I call you Skylark?鈥� Cheng Mo was also extremely unsettled inside. He had been thinking about what to say to Chiyoko when he saw her for the first time, and after much thought, he decided that it would be best to be direct.
鈥滱h Mo, why is it you?鈥� Chiyoko looked at Cheng Mo with eyes full of excitement and disbelief. She wanted an answer.
鈥滿iss Ruan, have you heard of the code name Jim?鈥�
鈥淛im, Ah-mo, you mean, you are Jim?鈥� Chiyoko suddenly understood, and her eyes instantly turned red.
The mysterious Jim in the 鈥楻amza鈥� team was actually by her side, and he was also her lover.
Could there be anything more surprising than this?
