Chapter 274. New home
Lin Qing He asked her eldest son about it when he brought the eggs over today.
"Ah? I sent him eggs. He asked me, so I just told him." Zhou Kai said as he scratched his head: "Is old grandpa helping out on his own?"
"En." Lin Qing He nodded.
The old librarian was surnamed Wang, which was a very common local surname here in the capital.He and Lin Qing He can be considered acquaintants because he often helps her to reserve a spot. However, she didn't expect that her son had such a good relationship with him.
As soon as he heard that the school hadn't allocated a place, he transferred an apartment under his name to the school.
Although he received a sum of money, he had made things convenient for Lin Qing He.
"The apartment is pretty good. It's more than 50 square meters. Although the building is a bit older, it's still very good." Her tutor came over two days later and told Lin Qing He.
Lin Qing He said, "I've talked with Uncle Wang. I will go over to check it out with him after school today."
"Alright. Uncle Wang had specially told the school to allocate this place to you." Her tutor smiled.
"I remember this in my heart." Lin Qing He nodded.After school, Lin Qing He brought her eldest son and followed Uncle Wang.
"The place is good, but there are a lot of people living here. If you are on your own, don't come over yet. Live at school first and set up some things. When your husband comes, move in then." Uncle Wang advised.
"What is there to worry about? I am here." Zhou Kai said when he heard these words.
"You aren't home all day. If something happens, can she find you?" Uncle Wang bluntly pointed out: "This year, many people have returned to the city. I guess that there will be more and more in the future. I am afraid that there is no guarantee in terms of public security. So listening to me is right."
"It's true." Lin Qing He nodded in agreement.
"En. You go and have a look at it first. It's the middle one on the third floor." Uncle Wang gave the keys to the mother and son and said.
"Uncle, won't you go up?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Not going." Uncle Wang waved his hand and turned to go back. Before leaving, he reminded them: "The next door's surname is Zhang. They're a bad bunch. Be careful when you live there in the future."
"Alright." Lin Qing He nodded in response.
After watching him leave, Lin Qing He and her eldest son went up to the third floor. There were a total of four floors. Have to say that the third floor was well maintained.
It was indeed a bit messy, but it was like this in this era. Having a place to stay was already quite good.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Kai opened the door to see the place.
Probably due to no one living here for a long time, it was empty and accumulated lot of dust inside. Still, having a place to rest was excellent.
"Mother, this house is considered spacious. My classmate, Weng Guo Liang's house is almost the same." Zhou Kai looked around with great satisfaction.
"It's pretty good." Lin Qing He nodded.
The location wasn't too far from the school. Once Zhou Qing Bai comes, they will come over to eat. Eldest son can stay at the school.
While she lives with Zhou Qing Bai here. There was room for two younger ones.
As for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, they can't be brought over in a short period of time. Have to wait until the market is really open and they can buy a house.
So starting from this day, Lin Qing He and Zhou Kai had one more job.
After class, they came over to clean up the place in the evening and arranged furniture into the place. It wasn't much. Just a few small things each day. Less than a month later, the place looked decent.
"Your family recently moved in? Old Wang sold this place?" an old lady asked with a smile.
"Aunt, you are?" Lin Qing He looked at her.
"I live next to you on the left. Just call me, Aunt Ma." The enthusiastic old lady said merrily.
"Hello Aunt Ma, this is assigned to me by the school." Lin Qinghe said.
"So it was old Wang who transferred this house to the school and the school allocated it?" Aunt Ma said. Without waiting for Lin Qing He's answer, "It's better to transfer it. Save himself from seeing those problematic people."
"What problematic people?" Lin Qing He asked. She recalled what Uncle Wang had said before and lowered his voice, "Is it the next door's Zhang Family?"
"That's right, it's the old Zhang's family." Aunt Ma lowered her voice and whispered: "This old Zhang Family is horrible ones. Back then, their relationship with Wang Family was very strong, however, in a blink, they reported Wang Family. They ruined old Wang."
Lin Qing He internally remarked, no wonder Uncle Wang, who got an open-minded personality, warned her in advance.
"What do you teach at school?" Aunt Ma asked.
"English." Lin Qing He replied.
"Teaching English at such a young age. You look about twenty-five, right? Is that young lad your brother?" Aunt Ma said.
"That's my son." Lin Qing He laughed: "Auntie, I'm almost forty." It was still early for forty, but it didn't affect her bragging.
"Forty?" Madam was shocked: "I thought you're unmarried? That young man is your son? I thought he's your younger brother."
"I'm really almost forty. There's no mistake, it's my son. Don't look at his size. He is only fifteen this year." Lin Qing He maintained, "There are two younger ones back at home. Once I settled down here, they will follow my man over. I'll be neighbors with you in the future, Aunt Ma. Relatives in the distance aren't as good as nearby neighbors, so Aunt Ma, please take care of us."
Don't underestimate these old ladies. They have first-hand information on the entire area, so it was necessary to get along with them.
"Of course. Your son is really energetic." Aunt Ma was full of smiles.
"His father used to be a soldier. He's just like his father, quite a build." Lin Qing He said modestly.
"That's really good." Aunt Ma nodded and whispered: "Teacher Lin, don't interact with old Zhang Family from next door. In our area, their family's reputation is stinky."
"I understand. I was able to get the place because of Uncle Wang's special care. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to transfer. How can I possibly get along with them?" Lin Qing He declared outright.
"It seems that you and old Wang are truly on good terms." Aunt Ma smiled. Then she stuffed Lin Qing He with two tomatoes and went back.
Lin Qing He didn't eat yet. Her hands were dirty. She washed her hands, closed the door, and then returned to school and shared one with Wang Li.
Wang Li said, "Why do I realize that you don't desire meat? And only want these?"
"It's healthy." Lin Qing He answered. There were a lot of tomatoes stored in her space this year. They were reserved for winter. There were no fruits in winter. And unlike the southern part, where it was like spring all seasons, here was very dry.
"I haven't been to your house yet. Let's go and take a look tomorrow?" Wang Li said.
"Alright. Go shopping with me tomorrow. It's a pity not to use free labor." Lin Qing He smiled.
"You sill mention this. You didn't call me when you cleaned up the house." Wang Li responded in mock anger.
