Feng Meilan also knew that Dashuang and Ershuang had always treated Chen Ye as their own sister, but she never expected that Ye Zi could be more generous than her own sister.

"Sister-in-law, can you put it here?" Ershuang pointed to a corner of the living room.

"Okay, of course. It fits perfectly right there. That's great. I've been thinking about it." Now that you've accepted it, don't be shy. It's not worth it to make everyone unhappy.

"Hey, sister-in-law, as long as you like it, it's fine. Ye Zi bought it, so we can't even buy it if we want to."

"Ye Zi, thank you so much, sister-in-law. It's just a bit too expensive."

Chen Ye waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. Dashuang has nothing to say about me. I don't like it when family members are too polite."

"Okay, okay, then I won't be polite with you. By the way, Comrade Cen, I heard you want to see my house? So, shall we go over and take a look now?"

Ershuang laughed: "Why call me Comrade Cen? Zixiang is Ye Zi's cousin and we are all family. You can call me Zixiang like us or Xiao Cen, right, Zixiang?"

Cen Zixiang nodded: "Yes, Ye Zi is my biological sister, and also the sister of Dashuang and Ershuang. We are a family."

"If there's nothing important right now, please take me to see the house, and tell me about the neighbors."

"Okay, let's talk as we walk. The neighbors over there are all okay. They don't have any major problems, but they're having a hard time. They're getting a little more careful. I wonder who will live here in the future?"

Cen Zixiang made a phone call while he was having dinner, and the matter was basically settled. It's not impossible to talk about it now.

"It's Ye Zi. My third uncle found a job for Ye Zi in the city, in a food factory."

"We don't have any real relatives in the city. Ye Zi needs a place to live when she comes to work. Living in the dormitory is not clean, and I'm worried that Ye Zi won't be able to get used to it."

"Hey, this is good news. Dashuang and I have been asking about work a lot recently."

"It's really hard to find a job now. The new batch of educated youth who went to the countryside just left, and the few jobs that did exist have been completely blocked."

This matter started before Ye Zi graduated from high school. Da Shuang was more concerned about it than her. It can be said that he had almost run around the entire city, but there was really no news at all.

Sometimes you finally hear a little news, but by the time they go back, the position has definitely been taken. It seems like there are so many people waiting for every opportunity that you can't even get a number.

I don't know what Ye Zi's family situation is like now. She can find a job just by looking for one, or she can move her rural household registration directly to the city. This is not something that ordinary leaders can do.

This thought just flashed through Feng Meilan's mind and she gave it up. Feng Meilan has never been a greedy person, otherwise she wouldn't have married Dashuang and given up everything.

This place is really not far from where Da Shuang lives. It only takes more than half an hour to walk there, and it is even faster if you ride a bike. However, unlike Da Shuang's house where each house has its own door, this place is full of large courtyards.

The yards are not small, but there are at least four families living in one yard. Now there is no family planning, so people can have as many children as they want. Every family has a large number of people, and every household looks crowded.

When Cen Zixiang saw the environment nearby, he was not very satisfied. The more people living here, the more trouble there would be. He didn't know if his own Ye Zi could handle it.

But as for finding a courtyard with a separate entrance and a separate house, not to mention how easy it is to find, he is also worried about letting Ye Zi live there alone. If Ye Zi lives there alone, it would be better for him to live in this slum, which looks safer.

He was a little unsure now. Should he call his uncle and ask him later? If that didn't work out, he could just look for a house and buy it for his younger sister. He just didn't know if he could find a suitable house here.

"We're here. This is the yard. It's in the middle of the yard and it's quite safe. Besides my family, there are four other families living here."

"Uncle Zhang Quan, the team leader of a workshop in the food factory who lives in the two main rooms."

"Uncle Zhang is less than fifty years old this year. I don't know Aunt Zhang's surname, but everyone keeps calling her Aunt Zhang. You can just follow suit and call her that from now on."

"Uncle Zhang's family said they have two rooms, but the main room is larger, so they separated it into four smaller rooms. That's where Uncle Zhang and his wife live, along with his two sons and their families. Uncle Zhang also has two daughters who are married and don't come back often."

"Uncle Zhang's eldest son and eldest brother Zhang's family have a total of five people, and the second son's family has a total of four people."

Chen Ye smacked her lips. This guy has two main rooms, and eleven people living in them at once. How crowded is that? Looking at it this way, it seems better to live in the countryside. Look, she can live in a spacious yard by herself.

"There are four rooms in the east wing, and two families live in them. The two rooms on the left are occupied by Uncle Li and his family from the second workshop. Aunt Li's surname is Sun and her name is Sun Cui. Some of us call her Aunt Li, and some call her Aunt Cui."

"Uncle Li has three children, a son and two daughters. The eldest daughter is married, the second son is an apprentice in the workshop, and the oldest daughter is probably the same age as you, Ye Zi, and is still in school."

"The other two rooms on the right are occupied by Grandpa Zhou and his family, who work in the mailroom at the candy factory. Grandpa Zhou and his wife are the only ones at home. His son is away in the army and hasn't been home for several years."

It’s also because Grandpa Zhou’s son is a soldier and an official, otherwise Grandpa Zhou would not be able to keep the two houses.

"Then there's the west wing. It also has four rooms. We'll live in the two near the main gate. The two rooms inside are occupied by the canteen's second chef, Brother Ding, and his family."

"Brother Ding is in his early thirties. His four children are still in school. There are no elderly people at home, so just the couple and their four children live here. Sister-in-law Ding is Wang Zhen."

They arrived just as people were getting off work, and the alley was bustling with activity, children running around, the sounds of cooking, chatting, yelling at children, and children playing, it was absolutely deafening.

Chen Ye frowned slightly. She was used to quietness, and she was a little uncomfortable facing this noisy environment.

Cen Zixiang had been observing his little sister. He came up to Chen Ye and asked quietly, "Not used to it? Want to try something else?"

Chen Ye shook his head: "Let's wait and see. I heard from Da Shuang that it's hard to rent a house here. It's all luck to find one."

It was just as noisy when Chen Ye lived in the old Chen family house. At that time, they lived in the middle of the village. It was almost like this every day when they got off work. The neighbors were all louder than each other.
