Chapter 17 I'll Give You the Pulse

"Sister Xiuxiu, these bottles of soda are for you. My schoolbag is already full."

"You continue to work, and I'll come back to see you when I'm settled."

Fang Xiuxiu was afraid that she would be cheated, so she suggested going with her, saying that she was familiar with the way, but in fact she did it to protect her. If anything went wrong, she would take her away quickly. She was really considering Wen Zhile.

"Sister Xiuxiu, I'm leaving now."

"Grandma, let's talk about the rent." Wen Zhile helped Qu Jinghong walk to the side of the road.

Qu Jinghong never thought of asking her for rent: "No need, grandma is very happy that you can come."

"We have to charge rent even if we're happy. How about two hundred a month?" Wen Zhile said sincerely, "Grandma, I've never rented a house before, so I don't know the price. Your place must be more spacious than a hotel. The hotel I live in is five dollars a day, so I can't pay less than that. Otherwise, they're just ripping you off because you're a nice person. If two hundred is less, just tell me. I have money."

Qu Jinghong was slightly startled. She didn't believe the child's words that he had money at first, but she believed it after hearing it. But did she have a little too much money?

I think there must be a reason, just like when he suspected that the girl in front of him was his own granddaughter, Qu Jinghong did not show it even though he had doubts.

"If you really want to give, just give ten dollars."

Wen Zhile: Grandma is so nice.

The street was not a good place to bargain, so she thought about it and agreed directly, then stopped a taxi: "Grandma, I'll help you get in."

It costs one yuan to go to Mudan Hutong from here. As soon as the car stopped, Wen Zhile took out money to pay.

Qu Jinghong had no choice but to take back his money, got off the car and introduced his home to the girl.

Her house was a large courtyard house with four main rooms and three side rooms. Qu Jinghong lived in one main room himself, leaving one main room for his son and daughter-in-law and one for his daughter and son-in-law's family. The remaining main room was left for his granddaughter.

But Wen Nuan only stayed here a few times, and the few times she did stay were when she was a child.

Qu Jinghong's gaze stopped at that room and he said to Wen Zhile, "Xiao Dai, you live in this room."

She led Wen Zhile over.

"This room is cleaned regularly, and I changed the bedsheets and quilt covers last month... but no one has been staying here for a long time, so if you mind, I'll replace them with new ones."

Wen Zhile looked at the bed.

She was very familiar with the three pieces of bed sheet above; they were her grandmother's own bed sheets, and she knew exactly what this room was used for.

"It's okay grandma, I don't mind."

She took out ten yuan from her schoolbag: "Here's your rent."

After Qu Jinghong received the money, she began to pack her things. She first took out her textbooks and put them on the table, and then put her old clothes and shoes beside the bed.

That's all she has.

Qu Jinghong thought her schoolbag was full of clothes, but unexpectedly it was full of textbooks.

Even under such circumstances, she still remembered to bring books with her when she escaped, which shows that she loves learning very much.

Thinking of his granddaughter who always ranked last in the class, Qu Jinghong felt emotional again.

"Tell grandma if you need anything and she will get it for you."

"Okay, grandma, I'm going to go out for a while, you take a rest first."

Wen Zhile plans to go shopping at a nearby supermarket.

When she came back, she had bought all her daily necessities, and was carrying a piece of pork just cut from the market, a box of old-fashioned snacks, lotus cakes, and a live fish.

This cost thirty dollars in total.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and Wen Zhile walked in briskly: "Grandma, I'm back. Let's make dumplings tonight."

Qu Jinghong sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air, and stood up with a smile: "Okay."

"Heping, this is the little girl who rented my yard."

Tang Heping looked at Wen Zhile, and Wen Zhile noticed her and smiled before saying anything.

Qu Jinghong introduced her: "Xiao Dai, this is my daughter-in-law, her last name is Tang."

Wen Zhile then spoke: "Hello, Aunt Tang, my name is Dai Zhi."

"Hey, Xiao Dai is so beautiful."

It's a pity that I am pale and thin. If I could be a little whiter and a little fatter, I would definitely shock everyone.

Tang Heping is the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the military headquarters. He is suffering from an occupational disease at the moment. As soon as he takes a look at Wen Zhile, he has a plan in his mind.

She took the things from the little girl and put them in the kitchen. When she came out, she went straight to the point: "Xiao Dai, let me check your pulse."
