Chapter 203: Distant Relatives Are Not as Good as Close Neighbors
Wang Dafeng didn't seem to care whether she was cold or not. She looked at the rooms and the furnishings and was particularly surprised by how clean and bright they were.
She had never seen such a large house with a yard. What kind of powerful person must be able to live in such a house in the city?
Su Ying went to the kitchen and wanted to light the fire quickly because the room was too cold.
Seeing that she was hesitating for a long time and couldn't get angry, Chen Shuyun quickly pulled her up.
"If you're cold, go find a quilt and wrap yourself up. Mom will light a fire."
Su Ying was indeed quite cold, but she didn't need to wrap herself in a quilt. She cleaned the pot again and added water.
Wang Dafeng said with some envy.
"Doctor Su, you still have running water at home? Really, why don't you live here?"
Su Ying paused and shook her head.
"It's a bit far from where I work, and it's inconvenient to run back and forth."
"What about your lover? I heard from Sister Xiuying that you have a lover."
Chen Shuyun looked back at Wang Dafeng, and Wang Dafeng finally realized that he seemed to have asked too many questions, so he quickly lowered his head and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Su. I didn't mean to ask about you. I just spoke too quickly."
Su Ying didn't say anything. Wang Dafeng's previous environment might have influenced her, making her accustomed to speaking like this. However, it was not a big deal, so she didn't take it to heart.
As the fire started, the whole house gradually warmed up. Wang Dafeng and Chen Shuyun simply warmed themselves, drank a few sips of hot water, and then went out to work.
They found a shovel in the main room, but the ground was frozen at night, and the two men couldn't dig a big hole after digging for a long time.
Su Ying had no vegetables or noodles at home, so she looked at the time and went to the cafeteria. Unexpectedly, there was still food in the cafeteria, so she ordered four servings of noodles.
Wang Dafeng is a big eater, and he can barely feel full after eating two bowls of noodles.
However, it was inconvenient to work at night, so I stopped digging after a while.
Wang Dafeng and Chen Shuyun returned to the hotel together, while Su Ying stayed at home.
She gave one of her house keys to Chen Shuyun. She had to work during the day, so if they had time, they could come and dig the cellar themselves.
But she didn't expect that the neighbors in the compound would be so kind-hearted.
The next day, when Su Ying was going to work from home, she met Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu asked her about the groundbreaking ceremony at her house, and Su Ying said she wanted to dig a cellar to store vegetables.
Mrs. Wu directly told her not to lock the gate today, and that the men who were free could go over and dig her up.
Su Ying had no intention of bothering others, but the neighbors were very enthusiastic. They just said that since Chief Gu was not at home, there was nothing wrong with helping her with some work, and she should not be polite with them.
Su Ying thought about it, nodded, and rode her bike to work.
When she came back from get off work, the cellar had been dug out. Chen Shuyun and Wang Dafeng were still in the store. It was too dark inside, so Su Ying didn't dare go down to take a look.
She asked Mrs. Wu to call out the comrades who had come to help, including their families, and invite them to have a meal outside.
But no one went, saying that making money was not easy and asked Su Ying to save some to live on.
Su Ying didn't invite anyone, but she remembered everyone's help and thought about giving the children red envelopes during the Spring Festival. No matter how kind others were, she should reciprocate.
When Chen Shuyun and Wang Dafeng came, they brought steamed buns for Su Ying. Su Ying also cooked porridge when she came back. This time, she had a delicious meal with the steamed buns and pickles.
"Yingying, what do you think? Why don't you ask your mother to send them a few baskets of buns? We can't let them help us for nothing."
Su Ying thought about it and decided to forget it. She would repay the favor herself and let Chen Shuyun focus on buying goods, stocking up on meat and vegetables in preparation for the holiday.
