Ying Han couldn’t eat any more, so he asked the boss to pack up the remaining food. When he got back, he went into the space and asked Deng Chen to “book the whole place” for him.

"Mom, I want to eat this."

"I want to eat too."

"You can eat instant noodles, but not too much, understand?"

"Yeah, we eat one bag a day." Bai Yu licked his lips and nodded in response.

Ying Han shook his head in amusement. One bag a day was not enough, so he only bought one bag for each of them.

The two children rarely get sick because she often lets them drink some water from the space.

Even if I eat such irritating foods, I rarely get a sore throat or a runny nose.

"Okay, now that you're all satisfied, let's go home."

"Um."

The two children crushed the instant noodles, put some seasoning in them, and ate them while walking.

The snack street is not far from their home, just across the road.

Because it was raining, there were not many people around at this time.

But I did meet an acquaintance, Tongtong.

"Tongtong, why are you here at this time?" It's only a little after seven o'clock, you should be busy in the store.

"Sister Ying, you guys are out playing."

"Yeah, I took the kids shopping. You're out shopping too. It's perfect, you should relax too."

Tongtong shook her head awkwardly. "No, my aunt was on a business trip yesterday. After I gave my uncle the bill, he didn't give me much money, and the noodles weren't quite enough, so I didn't make much today and sold out early. I came here to look for a house. By the way, Ying Jie, you guys live nearby, right? Do you know anyone who's renting a house nearby? I don't want a very big one, a small room will be enough."

Ying Han was stunned. "So it's about renting a house? There really is one, but it's a yard. It costs thirty yuan a month, or..."

"Thirty? No, no, I don't have that much money."

Before Ying Han could finish, Tongtong waved her hands and said shyly, "I only make 25 yuan a month, which is not enough for rent. I just want to find someone who makes less than 10 yuan."

"Twenty-five?" Twenty-five dollars a salary is really not much nowadays, probably barely enough for living expenses.

This Jia Ying is really...

"So where do you live now?"

"At my cousin's house."

"Isn't it nice to live at her house? We don't have to rent a house."

Tongtong forced a smile and said, "Not so good. I want to... live on my own."

Ying Hanshen frowned and asked curiously, "Tongtong, are you having any difficulties? Your aunt and I are classmates. If you have any problems, you can talk to me."

"No...nothing. I just said I didn't want to live at my cousin's house anymore and wanted to move out on my own."

"Oh...Is that so?" Ying Han looked at the sky and turned to say, "It's raining now. Even if you want to find a house, you have to look for it during the day. It's dark now. Besides, there really isn't a house around here that costs ten yuan."

"Okay...Okay. Thank you, Sister Ying."

"Well, you should go back quickly too."

Ying Han said something to her and went home with the child.

After arriving home, I let An An practice the piano for a while and went to the kitchen to heat up the remaining food.

Then he entered the space and waited for Deng Chen to arrive.

"It's raining today. Is it cold?"

"Fortunately, I took the two kids out to eat today. Here, these are leftovers. You have to finish them."

Deng Chen took a sip of the soup and looked at the lotus root and meat slices inside, but didn't touch it at all.

"The children can't eat more than a few bites when they eat outside, and they'll be hungry again soon."

"It's okay, I'll make them some noodles later. Is it snowing in City A?"

"Yeah, it just rained. It wasn't very heavy, but it was very cold."

"Then make sure you keep warm. Are you wearing the warm cotton-padded jacket I bought you last time?"

Deng Chen smiled and said, "Why don't you come over and touch me to see if I'm wearing it."

Ying Han ignored him. Seeing that he probably wouldn't be full with just one bowl of rice, he turned around and left the space to heat up a steamed bun for him.

As Ying Han entered the kitchen, he noticed some movement outside and the door opened.

She remembered that the door was closed when she came in.

Ying Han turned his head and took a casual look, just in time to see a swaying black shadow.

Although it was raining outside, there was no wind. There was only one osmanthus tree in their house, but it never swayed.

Ying Han went to the living room and took a look. As soon as he arrived there, he said he found a masked man wandering in front of their car with a knife in his hand.

Ying Han was about to scream, but at the critical moment he covered his mouth and quickly entered the space.

"Deng Chen, there's a thief outside with a knife in his hand."

Deng Chen immediately put down the bowl in his hand and left the space with Ying Han.

"Go take the child upstairs first, leave this to me."

"They have knives in their hands."

"It's okay. I won't confront them head-on."

"Be careful." Ying Han was worried about the child and went upstairs quietly.

An An and Bai Yu were very well behaved today. They were sitting on her bed in her bedroom, watching cartoons.

"Mom, are you done? This strongman is so handsome." An An saw her coming and pointed at the cartoon on TV.

"Shh, don't talk. Mommy is going to play a game with you guys, okay?"

"Okay, what game will Mom play?" Bai Yu said excitedly.

"Mom will blindfold you and see who has the endurance to count to a thousand. The first person to reach that number will be allowed to eat instant noodles for a week, okay?"

"Great, Mom, let's start." Bai Yu couldn't wait to let his mother blindfold him.

"We agreed that you're not allowed to peek. If you catch him, he won't be able to eat meat for a month, okay?"

"Okay." The two children responded obediently, having no idea what was happening outside.

Ying Han quickly blindfolded the two of them and said, "Start."

He brought the two people into the bed in the space without anyone noticing.

"I'm watching you from the side, don't miss any."

"Mom, why is there no sound on TV?" An An asked.

"Oh, Mommy, turn off the TV, otherwise I won't be able to hear you counting. Okay, now we've started, don't stop."

Ying Han watched the two children count for more than ten numbers, then quietly went out.

Watch the situation outside carefully.

Finding that there was no movement, Ying Han was about to go down to the living room to call the police.

Then I heard a muffled sound "Ah..."

Ying Han was quick-witted and thought it was Deng Chen, but he only saw Deng Chen shouting loudly, "Hanhan, call the police."

"Okay...Okay." Ying Han quickly went downstairs and made a call.

After hanging up the phone and running out to check, he found that Deng Chen was stepping on a person and a kitchen knife was scattered not far away.

Ying Han quickly kicked him aside.

"Tell me, what do you want to do here?" Deng Chen lowered his head and asked the person under his feet in a cold voice.
