As Mingzhu pushed her bicycle home, she waved to Jiang Ci, "I'm going back to pack too."
Jiang Ci pushed her bicycle under the eaves, rolled up her sleeves, and took the broom from Huang Zheyue's hand. "Where's your Uncle Zhou?"
Huang Zheyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Uncle Zhou has found a way to buy curtains, and he's gone to get them."
Jiang Ci glanced into the room.
Her house is basically all finished, but the windows inside are still unobstructed, so people on the street can see what's going on inside just by turning their heads and looking through the glass.
There's absolutely no privacy whatsoever.
Using curtains is appropriate.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli were not the type to skimp on accommodations. She nodded, looked at the trash, and said with a smile, "Then today's task is to clean up all this trash!"
Jiang Ci was full of energy, and Huang Zheyue couldn't help but be infected by it, a smile appearing on her youthful face, "Okay!"
Compared to Jiang Ci and Huang Zheyue working diligently, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were just having a blast.
They are currently attending the kindergarten near the family dormitory building. There is also a kindergarten here. Once they move over, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli will visit both kindergartens to discuss the transfer.
One advantage of this type of courtyard house is that if a family has a child, they can play together within two or three days.
Sure enough, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao had already started playing with Mingzhu's two boys.
Mingzhu is in her thirties. She works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and her husband works in another government agency. They are both employed. Mingzhu and her husband have two sons, who are currently staying at home to tidy up.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, who have no shortage of playmates, no longer cling to their mother and are running around outside having fun.
Jiang Ci and Huang Zheyue put the trash into unused bags and dragged them outside to the designated trash area.
This was mentioned by the street officials during a meeting. All the construction waste should be put together, and the street office will arrange for someone to come and collect it.
Zhou Mingli will definitely hang up the curtains after he buys them, and Jiang Ci will fill a basin with water and wipe the windows with Huang Zheyue.
The families who had already moved into the compound had prepared their meals. After they finished eating, they came out and found Jiang Ci and a boy wiping the windows.
"I must say, Comrade Xiao Jiang is not only outstanding in her work, but she and her husband are also very conscientious in their life."
"Exactly! Look how clean and tidy their house is. I feel like my family moved here too early; our house is a mess everywhere!"
The neighbors in this compound had all witnessed Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli working hard to renovate their house.
Compared to the simple tidying up and moving in, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli put in much more effort, practically renovating the entire house.
Some with malicious intentions muttered to themselves, "They built a lot of cabinets; that must have cost a fortune."
An older woman who looked quite old said, "This is no different from a landlord's house, is it?"
"Oh dear, you can't just say things like that!"
Someone heard this and quickly glared at the person who had spoken.
The woman smiled nonchalantly, "I was just saying it casually. Now that the red armbands are gone, what are you afraid of?"
"Just something you said offhand?"
Suddenly a voice rang out.
Jiang Ci, who was wiping the windows, appeared beside them at some point, staring expressionlessly at the middle-aged woman who was speaking.
The older woman was surprised that Jiang Ci had suddenly appeared.
She met Jiang Ci's calm, almost indifferent gaze and flinched slightly. When she came to her senses, she said angrily, "I was just saying it casually. What are you trying to do, comrade? Are you trying to bully this old woman?"
Hearing the old woman's words, Jiang Ci suddenly smiled and said easily and cheerfully, "Look at what you're saying. You're making fun of my family here, and I come over to listen, and it becomes bullying you, old lady?"
"Auntie, tell me, how is my family like a landlord's family? How did my family become the kind of people who get arrested just because someone has a red armband?"
Jiang Ci was still smiling, but her words were sharp and pointed, showing no sign of softening.
Those who knew Jiang Ci's abilities, even though they were in the same European company, remained silent.
This woman is someone who can fool ambassadors from various countries; she's no pushover.
The old woman's face turned pale and then red, and she said in a loud voice, "Everyone is struggling these days, yet you're spending so lavishly on these things! How much money must have gone into that? And you still say you're not acting like a landlord!"
"You think your family is so precious? Your house has been under renovation for two months and it's still not finished. What's the difference between you and a landlord?!"
She also dropped the pretense of politeness and cursed, "If this had happened a few years ago, your family would have been taken away long ago. You wouldn't be here yelling at me!"
"You reckless young man, if you keep living like this, you'll squander your family's wealth sooner or later!"
...
This is an extra chapter. I have something urgent to attend to at noon, so I'll come back and update this afternoon!
