Xue Ling said in a gentle voice: "I sent you some New Year's goods. It was brought by my parents from the imperial capital. It tasted pretty good, completely different from Rongcheng. I'll give you and my aunt a try."
"Thank you." Wang Qing held her hand tightly, "Ling Ling, you are always so good to me."
"What are you talking about! We are good friends!" Xue Ling said with a smile.
Wang Qing also smiled and whispered: "Anyway, I don't thank you for your kindness, I remember it in my heart."
Xue Ling helped her hair clean and said warmly: "Carrange your mood well. After the New Year, you will have new moods and new hopes."
"Yeah." Wang Qing smiled slightly, "I have been very calm these days and have seen through it. Thank you and Director Liu for coming to see me every day. When I get out of the hospital, I will go to greet you with him."
"Okay, wait for you." Xue Ling asked, "You can live in your parents' home first?"
"Yes." Aunt Wang interrupted and said, "Her sister-in-law is very happy. She quickly cleaned up the room where I lived, bought a lot of vegetables and meat, and said she would treat Qing'er well."
Wang Lan smiled softly, "My wife... she has always liked my sister very much. Sister, don't worry, live at home. You are my sister, and our family belongs to us."
"Yeah." Wang Qing smiled: "I know your kindness. But I want to write a book next time, it's not easy to live in a place with a lot of people. I have discussed with Ling Ling and planned to rent a small one to her.
Live in the apartment. After the fifth day of the New Year, I will move there."
"Sister!" Wang Lan's face was a little bad, and she said warmly: "Do you have to meet us? You are living alone outside, how can you feel at ease with my mother and me?"
"No." Aunt Wang said slowly: "Your sister has her own arrangements, so let her do it. She said she can take good care of herself by herself and just let me accompany her occasionally. She wants to go to work during the day and write at night.
Book, go for a walk by the river in the morning and evening, and have a comfortable life."
After hearing this, Wang Lan couldn't say anything else.
"Sister... Then if you want to go home, go back at any time. My wife and I will always welcome you."
"Yeah." Wang Qing smiled softly, "I understand. I will go back to see you often. When I publish the book, I will treat you to a big meal."
Aunt Wang and Wang Lan both laughed.
Xue Ling explained: "I only have one apartment left and I didn't rent it. I happened to be downstairs. I lived for my friend Shanyue family. Later, they gave birth to a baby and went back to the South Island. The bed and sofa inside were daily.
All the supplies and daily necessities are complete. Wang Qing can live at any time, just clean it in advance."
"Is the place big?" Aunt Wang laughed and said, "Alan and his wife are not pregnant yet, so I don't need to help. I occasionally want to accompany Qing'er, hoping that the place will be wider and it will be convenient."
"It's very big." Xue Ling explained: "Three rooms, one large living room and one kitchen, and two balcony."
Aunt Wang was stunned when she heard this!
Wang Lan, who was standing beside him, asked embarrassedly: "Sister..., will the rent be too expensive?"
"No." Xue Ling explained: "If it's someone else, I will charge it at the market price. If it's an acquaintance, it's enough to spend more than ten or twenty yuan a month. Just clean up the house and don't rent it. I'll do this house.
It is reserved for relatives and friends to live there, not for renting for money. If Ah Qing wants to live there, as long as she cleans it for me and pays the electricity bill by herself, without any rent."
"No." Wang Qing looked at her with a angrily smile and said, "Your apartments are brand new and good places, and they are all for rent. How can you not collect rent? Then I dare not live there."
Xue Ling rented it to someone else for dozens of yuan a month, but she knew that Wang Qing would have to save money for surgery and would have to spend a lot of money next time.
It’s not that Wang Qing doesn’t want to live in her parents’ home, but she can’t live there.
Even if both my sister-in-law and my younger brother welcomed me, the longer the days might be, my sister-in-law might be unhappy.
In addition, her room has been renovated, and she can only squeeze a small bed with her mother when she goes back. If it is winter, it is barely enough, but she probably won’t be able to squeeze in at the beginning of spring next year.
Xue Ling understood Wang Qing's concerns and did not want to make the younger brother and his family disagree. It would be better to move away as soon as possible.
In addition, the apartment downstairs has not been inhabited for half a year and cannot be kept closed. The furniture and things inside may be broken. It is better to give it to Wang Qing for living, so there is no need to clean it hard.
So she followed the flow and said, "Well, you are an acquaintance, just price ten yuan a month."
"Is it too cheap?" Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Why are you so embarrassed? Ling Ling, we Aqing have troubled you enough, I'm really sorry!"
"There is a condition for cheapness." Xue Ling smiled and said, "The house must be cleaned!"
Wang Qing knew that she was not short of money, and also understood that she was helping herself. Tears flashed in her eyes and focused her head, "Okay!"
Aunt Wang was very happy and said, "I feel relieved if Qing'er lives next to you. Lingling, you kid is really kind."
Xue Ling smiled and said, "It's great to be a friend and a neighbor."
Wang Lan asked: "Sister Ling Ling, my sister is still very weak. In two days, my wife and I will go to clean her apartment first. You should be at home, right?"
"It should be all there." Xue Ling said softly: "You go to my place to get the keys. The beds there are ready-made. There are also sheets and bedding. They were washed and put away at the beginning, and they can be used after being dried."
"That's very convenient!" Wang Lan nodded.
Xue Ling said: "That's all. To prepare the New Year's Eve dinner today, I have to go back and see what I need to be busy with. With my parents and parents-in-law here, I am so idle every day. I can't be lazy anymore today."
Wang Qing let go of her hand and whispered: "I'll see you in two days."
"Okay." Xue Ling said goodbye to them.
...
At noon that day, Liu Ying cooked a large pot of millet porridge. Everyone ate porridge and buns, and discussed how to arrange the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening.
Cheng Muhai couldn't help but say, "I have to let Ah Hu come and eat with us. His cooking skills are pretty good. He can help cook."
Liu Ying explained: "He wants to go to Chen Min's place with his mother."
"That's it." Cheng Muhai whispered: "Let's prepare some braised meat, some rice cakes and snacks."
Dad Xue explained: "I have already soaked the bird's nest. After cleaning it in the afternoon, add a little milk and rock sugar to be considered a dessert."
Xue’s mother added: “I also made some bacon, soaked some shark fins, and made some bone soup to cook in the afternoon. Then add more shredded meat and tasted better.”
"That thing looks very hard." Liu Ying asked: "I'm afraid I have to stay for an afternoon?"
"If you soak it in advance, it will be enough for more than two hours." Xue's mother explained.
Liu Ying smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "The first time I saw that thing, I thought it was a fan, but I knew it was quite heavy when I took it."
"It's quite heavy." Xue's mother explained: "I bought it with a friend. It's not expensive. I've eaten it twice and I feel like it's similar to fans!"
Dad Xue said seriously: "It's just a little bigger than the fans, a little harder, and a fishy smell. There's not much difference."
"It's not too expensive." Liu Ying was a little embarrassed and whispered: "I... I will make a living from home, afraid that I will ruin good things if I don't do it in a while."
"It's not expensive, not expensive." Xue's mother explained: "It's just a little more expensive than fans."
"That's good." Liu Ying smiled.
Xue’s father and mother looked at each other and laughed secretly.
Cheng Tianyuan didn't return home until almost two o'clock.
