"That's good. You can go with Xiaxia." Father Jiang picked up his water glass and took a sip without any pressure.

He completely ignored Jiang Anxia's expression and tone.

"Alright, come with me! The house is alright, there's a bedroom, a living room, and a storage room." Jiang Anxia led the two out of the Jiang family home, turned right, and then they saw the house standing not far away.

Only the upper part of the house is visible; the lower part is blocked by the wall.

"That's the house. There's hardly anyone around here except for our Jiang family."

"It looks pretty good!" Lin Bai said, looking at the outside of the house.

"We'll know once we go in and take a look." Just as they were speaking, the three of them had already reached the gate of the house.

"I remember you didn't take the key out, did you?" Lin Bai asked uncertainly, looking at the lock on the gate.

Gu Yanzhu simply looked at Jiang Anxia quietly without saying a word.

“No key needed.” Jiang Anxia calmly shook her head, then with a forceful pull, the lock on the door opened directly.

"This lock hasn't been used in a long time and it's broken. It can be opened with a little force."

"I see." Lin Bai, who had been shocked to see Jiang Anxia open the lock with her bare hands, suddenly understood after hearing Jiang Anxia's explanation.

"Go in." Jiang Anxia pushed open the courtyard gate, and a cloud of dust rushed in.

Gu Yanzhu quickly pulled Jiang Anxia behind her, saving her from the baptism of dust.

Lin Bai wasn't so lucky; he coughed from the dust, "Cough...cough...Gu Yanzhu, are we still brothers? You only pulled Comrade Jiang and not me?"

In fact, Gu Yanzhu didn't know why, but he subconsciously pulled Jiang Anxia behind him without thinking too much about it.

"How old are you? How old is she?" She glanced at Lin Bai indifferently, everything was understood without saying a word.

"I don't know, but Comrade Jiang, how old are you this year?" Lin Bai was genuinely curious.

"Seventeen." Jiang Anxia was puzzled. What did her age have to do with it?

"It doesn't look like it!" Lin Bai's eyes widened instantly.

She's already seventeen! She looks only fifteen or sixteen!

Even Gu Yanzhu, who was standing to the side, found it hard to believe Jiang Anxia's age.

"Hmph." Jiang Anxia snorted and walked to the door of the room with annoyance, opening the lock above using the same method she had used before.

Just because she's a little shorter, does that mean she's still a fifteen-year-old kid?

She's grown taller.

If Jiang Anxia were to say who she was most dissatisfied with after arriving here, it would definitely be her own height. Thinking back to her previous life, she was 1.67 meters tall with those long legs, but here she was only 1.6 meters tall, a difference of six centimeters.

Although her legs are quite long, she's much shorter!

However, it's okay, she's only seventeen now, she still has room to grow, no rush.

No rush, shovel! Oh no!

She just couldn't understand it. The original owner had eaten plenty of good food since childhood, so why was she only this short?

According to the original owner's memories, her body seems to have not grown at all in the past two years. Could she stay this tall forever?

No way! Even if she grows another three centimeters, that's fine! It's not a big deal.

"This house is great!" Lin Bai exclaimed after seeing the house.

“If you’re going to rent it, you’ll probably need to repair a stove. The old stove has collapsed because it hasn’t been used for too long,” Jiang Anxia suggested, looking at the half-collapsed stove in the kitchen.

"Do you still want to rent it?"

"Rent it." Gu Yanzhu had also seen it, but he didn't mind; he could just build one.

“Okay, I just checked the kang (heated brick bed) in the room, and it’s still in good condition. It can sleep two people. If you don’t want to, you can clean out the storage room and build a new kang.” Jiang Anxia nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Wait a minute! Comrade Jiang, why do you know so much about this house? And most importantly, you can do whatever you want with it?" Lin Bai, who was completely baffled at first, finally understood.

“Because this is my house! My family has the final say.” Jiang Anxia thought they should have guessed it long ago, but who knew they only realized it now.

Lin Bai scratched his head, refusing to look at Jiang Anxia.

"Let's go. Now that you've seen it and decided to rent it, go talk to my dad about the rent and you can move your things over." With that, Jiang Anxia took the lead and walked out.

......

"Fifteen yuan a year. I'll have my eldest son and I go and get a new stove for you after work. Let it air out overnight, and you can use it tomorrow." Father Jiang thought about it for a moment, and the price seemed reasonable.

"Thank you, Captain. Comrade Jiang just said that the storage room could be converted into a room. I wonder which family in the team knows how to build a kang (heated brick bed)?" Gu Yanzhu felt that it would be better to sleep separately from Lin Bai.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

He was forced to sleep in the same bed with Lin Bai. Lin Bai would move around every now and then and insisted on holding something. So he got his bad luck and slept with Lin Bai holding his arm all night.

Most importantly, he tried to pull his arm away, but he couldn't at all; it was holding on very tightly.

“My eldest son knows how to do it. You can just tell him when he goes to fix the stove this afternoon.” Father Jiang took a sip of water and completely betrayed Jiang Zhuohua, the eldest son of the Jiang family.

Poor Jiang Zhuohua, his father arranged a series of tasks for him while he was still working outside.

"Okay, then we'll trouble you, Captain. We'll go back and tidy up the house first," Gu Yanzhu said quickly.

"Okay, go back!" Father Jiang waved his hand dismissively, not taking it to heart at all.

As they went out, Jiang's mother was walking in with her hat in her hand.

The two were taken aback for a moment, then greeted Jiang's mother in unison, "Hello, Auntie."

Looking at the unfamiliar faces before her, Jiang's mother guessed that these must be the new educated youth. "You must be the new educated youth!"

“Yes, Auntie.” Lin Bai nodded obediently.

"Are you going back now? Why don't you stay a little longer?" Jiang's mother stared at the two young men in front of her without blinking.

Jun is really handsome, especially the one in the white shirt; he's much better looking than the one next to him. (Lin Bai: Auntie, I know I'm not as good as Gu Yanzhu, but you don't have to be so blunt. Mother Jiang: I didn't say that out loud.)

"We need to go back and tidy up the house," Lin Bai said politely.

"Mom, don't stop them, or they won't have anywhere to sleep tonight," Jiang Anxia called out to her mother, peeking out of her bedroom window.

Gu Yanzhu looked in the direction of the sound and realized that this must be the little girl's room.

I haven't seen her since I brought them to Mr. Jiang; it turns out she went back to her room.

"Oh dear! Then I won't say any more, you two go ahead with your work!" Mother Jiang quickly stepped aside to let the two of them leave.

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll come to visit again next time to express my gratitude." Gu Yanzhu smiled gently and walked away.
