In 2023, swimmer Jiang Jiaojiao died saving a drowning child during a seaside team-building activity.
In 1964, Lin Baoni saved a drowning soldier but died from exhaustion in the sea.
Ji...
The two sisters-in-law chatted as they worked, and later, Aunt Bao Ni joined in. With many hands making light work, the bedding was quickly finished, and the bright red and green colors were very festive.
While things were bustling on the island, Bonnie in Beijing was also quite busy. After her uncle made a phone call, she went to Liu Zi to ask him to help her find a suitable house to rent out.
"Bonnie, are you planning to rent a storefront or a yard?"
Liu Zi has already successfully established his rental business, and since he works at the housing management office, it's very convenient for him.
"What's the current market situation? My uncle's family of four would be happy with a suitable yard, with a shop in the front and living quarters in the back. If there isn't a suitable yard, they can rent out separate spaces."
Bonnie has also looked at the properties in the family compound; they seem quite good.
"I understand. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If there's a suitable property that's only for sale and not for rent, are you planning to buy it?"
Liu Zi knows that some people no longer want to stay in China. He doesn't know if they're afraid of changes or if they think the grass is greener on the other side, but they're trying to sneak out.
"Then we'll have to look at the price range; I can't afford anything too expensive."
Bonnie has saved up some money in the past six months, so if she finds a suitable one, buying another one wouldn't be out of the question.
After agreeing with Liu Zi, Bonnie rushed back to work, taking two hours off before leaving.
Bonnie was actually quite happy that her uncle was coming over; they could chat for a while. Having lived in Beijing for several years, Bonnie didn't have many close friends. Besides a few existing acquaintances, she didn't have many others she could keep in touch with.
Sigh, is it because I'm getting old and afraid of being lonely? Bonnie quickly dismissed the idea. She was only in her thirties. In later generations, her child would probably be only one or two years old. She was in the prime of her life.
Here, her sixty-nine is already fourteen years old, a high school student. Children make us age faster!
