"Did it cost you money?"

She wanted to take advantage of the situation and eat the meat, but she was still talking so much. If it weren't for his parents' reputation in the village, Ye Qing would have wanted to chase her out with a broom right now.

"Qingqing, how are you talking to your grandma?"

Wang Juan was happy to see her mother-in-law being criticized, but she still looked at Ye Qing pretending to be displeased. Ye Qing pouted and continued to tease the child.

Zhou Shuimei was thinking that her goal for today had not been achieved yet, and she was so depressed that her face turned pale.

When it was time to eat, she drank bowl after bowl of bone soup as if to vent her anger. Ye Qing was afraid that she would die of overeating in her own home.

After sending away the eyesore, Ye Qing told his parents about Ye Ping's schooling.

"Mom and Dad, Changlin and I have discussed it. We will support Pingping's schooling. Let her go with Lanlan this year."

"You don't have to pay for it. You can pay for it next year. There will be many more places to spend money after you have children. You have to be frugal."

The Xiang family is not having a good time either, and Xiang Zhong is still sick. Wang Juan doesn't want her daughter to pay for it, in case her in-laws have objections.

"We don't have a child yet, let's focus on Pingping's schooling first. We both have jobs, so it's okay."

Xiang Changlin's timely statement made Ye Erzhu very satisfied, not because of his money, but because Xiang Changlin's attitude towards their family was the same whether he was successful now or when he was poor. It seems that his daughter has a good eye and picked a potential stock.

He smiled and waved his hand, "No, just save the money."

"I promised Pingping that I would send her to school this year, but I can't let her think that I, her brother-in-law, don't keep my word."

"How about this, we provide this year's supply, and you guys provide it next year, that should be fine."

Ye Qing said this directly, leaving Ye Erzhu and Wang Juan stunned.

Xiang Changlin hurriedly said, "I will provide it in the future as well."

"Then let's do as Qingqing said. You guys pay for this year's tuition."

Since his daughter and son-in-law really wanted to help, Ye Erzhu thought about it and finally agreed. The annual tuition of five yuan was not a big pressure for them.

Now that the schooling matter was settled, Ye Ping was the happiest person. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep when she thought about going to school soon.

When I invited friends to dinner last week, all of them brought gifts. Knowing that they all loved chili peppers, Ye Qing made some chili sauce and asked Xiang Changlin to take it to his colleagues when he returned to the county town, saying that he was bringing it back home.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-October. Xiang Changlin had been learning in the transport team for two months. He had already mastered both car repair and driving. These days, he often went out on the road with his colleagues. After a series of assessments, he was finally made a regular employee and was qualified to approve housing.

"Wife, good news!"

When Xiang Changlin got home from get off work, he couldn't wait to share the good news of his regular job and housing with Ye Qing.

"Are you a regular employee?"

They were still talking about this a few days ago. This is probably the only thing that could make him so happy.

"Yes, the captain said that the house will be approved tomorrow!"

"Can we choose a location then?"

Xiang Changlin shook his head, "This can't be done."

"All right."

Since I can't choose, I'll just pray for a good place.

"Should we stay here for the rest of this month before moving or move right away?"

I have been living in this house for the second month. Since I have already paid the money, it doesn't matter if I live there for the rest of the month.

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until the house is divided up and then look at it. If there is nothing, we still have to buy furniture and clean the place. It will take some time just to do this."

"Okay, then I'll pick you up when you get off work tomorrow, and I'll do whatever you say!"

"good!"

In order to celebrate his successful promotion and housing allocation, Ye Qing specially cooked hotpot to celebrate. This was also Xiang Changlin's first time eating hotpot, and the spicy taste instantly conquered his taste buds.

The next day, Ye Qing waited all day and finally got off work.

"Changlin!"

"Let's go and see our new home!"

Xiang Changlin crossed the road, walked to her side and took her hand.

Ye Qing looked down at the two people holding hands and smiled, "Aren't you afraid of others seeing us?"

Xiang Changlin raised his thick eyebrows and said, "Look or not, I am holding my wife, it's above board!"

Ye Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "How is the house?"

"I think it's pretty good. The two-bedroom apartment comes with a small yard. You will definitely like it. The location is also good. It's not too close to the main road and not noisy."

"That's great, let's go faster."

The family compound of the transport team is not far from the transport team. It takes about ten minutes to walk there, which is convenient for both of them to go to work. The rows of red brick and tile houses look very neat. The only bad thing is that the houses are too close to each other, with walls connected to walls. If someone speaks or does something loudly, it is estimated that the neighbors can hear it clearly.

"This is it. Let me take you inside to have a look."

Xiang Changlin pointed to the third house in the alley, then took out his key and opened the door.

"This small yard is pretty good. I'll get some wood to make some wooden racks to grow vegetables and flowers."

As soon as Ye Qing entered the door, he fell in love with the yard. Although it was a little small and paved with bricks and had no vegetable garden, it was already very good. After all, it was free.

"Okay, I'll go to the lumberyard later to see if I can get some scraps. Come inside and take a look."

There is a stove as soon as you enter the house. The area that comes into view is the living room. The east room connected to the stove is a bedroom, and the north side facing the door is another bedroom.

Looking at the empty house, Ye Qing smiled, "This house is really clean."

"It's okay, just check and see what you need and I'll go buy it."

I don't have anything I want, I have to buy everything again.

Ye Qing shrugged, "This is the only way."

The house was just an empty shell. The two of them came out in a few minutes. After returning home, they had a simple meal and started making a list.

"We need tables, stools, and a kangqin. We don't need a wardrobe for now. We can still put it in the space, and we don't have many clothes. We also have pots, pans, and utensils. They are ready-made. No, we need to buy a pot. This one is not ours. What else do you have? Think about it."

Ye Qing thought for a long time and it seemed that he didn't lack anything.

"You have to buy a kang mat. There is none over there."

"Um."

Ye Qing nodded and sat on the kang mat.

"Let's take some time to go to the scrap yard to look for tables, chairs, and benches. If we find something suitable, we can just buy it. It's cheap!"

I always heard that someone found a treasure at a scrap yard. I wonder if they are destined to be like this.

"Okay, let's do this for now. I'll buy the pot first."

Xiang Changlin really enjoyed the sight of the two of them planning their future together. It made him feel very happy and gave him energy to work.

"That's great! We now have our own home in the county!"

Ye Qing leaned in his arms, thinking about how to decorate her new home. She had saved up a lot of fabrics to make curtains and other things. A home should look like home. After all, this was a rented house and she didn't plan to live there permanently, so she didn't spend much time cleaning it up.

But the new house is different. If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to live in it for at least ten years, and their children will also be born there.
