Without much delay, Lin Qing He got on the train to Hai City with Zhou Qing Bai the second day after he returned.

The couple smoothly reached Hai City. Only then, Lin Qing He saw the detached house where she was going to nurture her baby and welcome her daughter's birth.

It was no wonder that Zhou Qing Bai was so happy. This house was indeed very good. It can be seen that the former owner loved tidiness. If not, Zhou Qing Bai can't change the interior completely.

Zhou Qing Bai bought new furniture and changed everything that should be changed. But most of them remained. After all, it wasn't that bad.

There was also a vegetable garden in the backyard.

"Buy baby chick and raise them?" Lin Qing He looked around and grinned at Zhou Qing Bai.

"Not buying. We can just go out and buy if we want to eat." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

He knew his wife love cleanliness. Raising chickens meant there will be smell. So they won't raise them. If they want to eat them, they can go to the market and buy them.

Lin Qing He nodded.

"Rest first. I'll take you out tomorrow." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Although he only came this side for one day, he had explore the surrounding area. The conditions needed for living were all around here. If not, why would he instantly settle for here.

Lin Qing He was indeed a little tired. She went into the room to rest. A fan was taken out of the space. With the fan blowing, she got on the bed to sleep. Not long later, she fell asleep.

People who were pregnant were easily tired. Least of all, after a long ride. Even if she have slept during the journey, she was still drained.

Zhou Qing Bai started to clean the house.

Before, he just cleaned the main bedroom and replaced the furniture. He didn't have time for other places. Since the former owner really loved to be clean, it wasn't too dirty.

A short while later, someone knocked on the door.

Zhou Qing Bai went to answer the door and saw that it was an old lady. She held a handful of cabbage in her hand. She smiled and said, "You are the new neighbors who bought old Gu house? I live to your left. Everyone call me old Madam Jiang. This is cabbage grown by myself in my yard. You can eat it."

Zhou Qing Bai accepted it and responded, "Aunt Jiang, my surname is Zhou. My wife is currently sleeping. She had been travelling for the whole day."

"It's not a problem. You go and rest too." Old Madam Jiang jollily replied.

She didn't enter the house either. She turned around and went back to her house.

As soon as old Madam Jiang got home, she spoke, "It's really an foreigner. Not our local."

Her spouse, old Mister Jiang responded: "I told it wasn't and didn't believe me. Judging by his accent, they seemed to be from the capital city?"

"Would people from the capital city come over here to buy a house?" Old Madam Jiang remarked.

"What's the matter? Is our side that bad? Those who can take a fancy to here got good eyes." Old Mister Jiang said: "It's just that old Guo's side aren't be very happy."

"They aren't happy? What is there to be unhappy about?" Old Madam Jiang asked.

"They've been eyeing this house a long time ago. Since knowing Bian Family was going to follow their son, they wanted to buy it." Old Mister Jiang explained.

Mrs. Jiang said: "Bian Family had put it on sale for several days. It was not until they encounter Young Zhou and sold it to him. Why would Guo Family have complaints?"

"You don't know. Old Guo Family is thinking about lowering the price. That way Bian Family would sell it at a low price. Since no one was buying it for a good few days, they were about to loosen up and cut the price. Now surnamed Zhou bought it. Would they be pleased?" Old Mister Jiang expanded.

"Truly laughable. Such a large property, it isn't expensive at this price. It's still considered cheap. If it weren't for Bian Family being in a rush to move, it would cost 10,000 yuan and up. They aren't satisfied with such benefit and end up with the house being sold to another. Do they still want to find fault? Judging from Young Zhou's big round waist, he's not someone easy to bully." Old Madam Jiang scoffed.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't know that he had accidentally messed up other people's scheme. At that time, when he was buying house, he felt the price was right for the property. Without any hesitation, he settled it at once. Naturally, there was nothing to say.

He cleaned up the house inside and out before he went to boil the water. His wife loved cleanliness and must take a bath when she wakes up.

This side use coal. The coal was still left behind by the former owner. There wasn't much. He had to buy it tomorrow.

When the water was ready, he washed up before waking his wife.

Lin Qing He slept for more than an hour. She felt completely refreshed and said, "Make me a bowl of noodles."

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded and cooked a bowl of cabbage and egg noodles.

Lin Qing He took a shower and came out comfortably. Then she began to eat. There were a lot in the large bowl. Still, she actually devoured it all.

"My head is a little itchy." Lin Qing He mentioned with a satisfied expression after eating.

"It's getting late today. It won't dry if washed. I'll wash it for you at noon tomorrow." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything then. She started reading after eating. Zhou Qing Bai went to wash the clothes. Tomorrow, household equipment should be bought. Washing machines, TV sets, and the likes shouldn't be left out. They were going to spend more than half a year here.

While Lin Qing He was reading, Zhou Qing Bai was working. He wasn't idle after he was done, he headed to the kitchen.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Get you some supper." Zhou Qing Bai answered. He remembered his niece, Zhou Er Ni had a big appetite when she was pregnant.

Lin Qing He said, "No need. I won't be hungry if I'm full from dinner."

However, Zhou Qing Bai still went to prepare. He made a bowl of ribs and lotus seed congee and set it aside. There was no time to go out to buy vegetables or anything. These were all materials taken from Lin Qing He's space.

Lin Qing He felt that he was doing something unnecessary. But when she was about to go to bed after nine o'clock, she was a little hungry and wanted to drink a few mouthfuls. In the end, she had a large bowl of congee.

En, they had dinner a bit too early, at six o'clock.

After making an excuse for herself, Lin Qing He slept with no burden. Zhou Qing Bai was in a good mood and went to sleep with his wife in his arms.

The next morning, Lin Qing He slept in again. When she woke up, Zhou Qing Bai had already gone to the morning market and was busying away in the kitchen right now.

Listening to the sound of meat chopping in the kitchen, Lin Qing He felt that it wasn't to bad to be pregnant with this child after so much difficulty.

It let her see another side of her family's old man.

She didn't have to intervene in anything. It was all taken care of.

After she got and freshened up, Zhou Qing Bai spoke, "Why don't you sleep more?"

"No more. Should go for a walk today." Lin Qing He replied. She had slept enough. Her energy had been accumulated. She should go visit the neighbors.

However, the family still lacked the large appliances, which had to be bought at the mall. So the couple headed to the mall together after having breakfast.

The man who sold Zhou Qing Bai the house took him to several places. One was a market. Another was a big shopping mall. There were also the school and hospital.

They were all in the area.

Otherwise, how can it say that this yard was really a coincidence. The surrounding amenities were all in line with Zhou Qing Bai's needs.
