The old woman standing at the gate of the courtyard looked inside with a sly look in her eyes, a hypocritical smile on her face:
"I'm a resident of 0-05. I heard some noise next door and guessed that new neighbors had moved in, so I picked some sweet potatoes for you."
The old woman held up the bag in her hand.
Inside were special sweet potatoes produced officially, which were a little smaller than the ones that Old Lady Xu gave to Jiang Fei, and there were only 5 of them.
"The food you cook at home smells so good. I live alone, so I don't have as many people as you do, and I don't waste electricity by cooking."
"There's still a lot left in the pot. Can you finish it?"
To put it bluntly, I want to eat for free.
Jiang Fei said indifferently: "Don't bother, we can finish it."
"Take the sweet potatoes back. We don't need them."
Seeing that Jiang Fei didn't take the bait, the old woman tutted her tongue and said, "You are such a rude child. I came here with good intentions to congratulate you on your new house. You should invite me in to sit down."
"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Let's keep in touch so that we can take care of each other in the future."
As soon as the old woman walked into the yard, Wang Quezi and Scar stood out.
All the younger brothers stood up at the same time.
They all looked ferocious, and the old woman was a little scared. She could not help but retreat to the door to find a way out.
"I suddenly remembered that the lights in my house are not turned off. Then you guys eat, I won't disturb you."
The old woman left with a wry smile, without putting down the sweet potato.
Wang Quezi said disdainfully, "You can tell at first glance that he's a bully."
At this time, Mrs. Xu slapped her forehead and said, "I was wondering why she looked so familiar. I remembered her now!"
"She is Lao Ning's mother-in-law, Miao Xiangfeng!"
Su Liuyuan: "Director Ning has a wife?"
Ling Zhaorui: "It seems we have never met the director's wife."
Xiao Chuxia: "Grandma, do you know Miao Xiangfeng?"
The gossip-loving trio immediately surrounded Old Lady Xu.
Old Mrs. Xu recounted this past event.
Director Ning and his wife Xiao Miao are very loving, but Xiao Miao is in poor health and can never get pregnant.
She finally got pregnant a few years ago, but because she was an elderly mother, the risks were high, and her physical condition was not good, which led to danger during delivery and she died.
The child was not saved.
Before she died, Xiao Miao hoped that Director Ning would treat her only relative well.
So, Director Ning has been taking care of Miao Xiangfeng.
"Xiao Miao is a good girl, kind and filial, but her mother is not even a human being." Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but scold:
"If Miao Xiangfeng hadn't been carrying Lao Ning's hand and constantly feeding Xiao Miao some folk remedies to preserve the pregnancy, there wouldn't have been two deaths."
"The most infuriating thing is that Miao Xiangfeng doesn't think she's done anything wrong. Before the apocalypse, she threatened Lao Ning with her daughter's death, bought her a house and gave her money to spend, and she also likes to take advantage of others and eat and drink for free."
Several people sighed.
Who would have thought that the honest and fair Director Ning would have such a weird and outrageous mother-in-law.
Xu Qianyao suddenly realized: "So, grandma, that damned old Miao you always told me about is Miao Xiangfeng."
"I will report today's incident to Director Ning and let him handle it."
Jiang Fei didn't take it to heart.
As long as we don't provoke her, everyone will live in peace.
After dinner, Xu Qianyao helped Old Mrs. Xu go home.
Wang Quezi handed the key to the courtyard gate to Jiang Fei and others, and took his younger brothers to wash the dishes and clean up the garbage on the ground and in the yard before leaving.
Xiao Chuxia and the other two went home to pack their luggage.
Lu Yu stayed behind and helped Jiang Fei make cages for chickens and geese in the yard with wooden boards, wire mesh and tools.
0-02 There were only the two of them. Jiang Fei released Da Huang, the chicks and the goslings, and used the supermarket's collection function to decorate their new home.
The living room is covered with soft carpet and the sofa is replaced with genuine leather.
The kitchen is furnished with various kitchen utensils and tableware.
Fill the refrigerator with fruits, drinking water, etc.
The bedrooms on the second floor were all replaced with the best furniture in her supermarket warehouse.
As for the other empty room, Jiang Fei placed a cat bed, cat climbing frame, cat litter box, cat toys and other pet supplies in it, and used it as Dahuang's cat room.
The door is usually open and Dahuang can come in and out as he pleases.
If you need to clean or have other inconvenient things to do, you can lock Dahuang in.
Obviously, Jiang Fei had no intention of returning the cat to its owner.
After raising it for so long, Dahuang is her cub!
When she went downstairs, Lu Yu in the yard had finished his work.
He enclosed half of the open space on the left with iron mesh and wooden boards.
There are food troughs, water bowls, and a wooden rack about one and a half meters high, similar to Dahuang's cat climbing frame, where chicks and geese can jump on and lie on it.
Satisfy their habit of lying in high places.
Seeing Lu Yu sitting on a small stool, weaving a nest with dry straw, Jiang Fei squatted beside him and watched, curiously asking, "Is there anything else you can't do?"
Lu Yu thought for a moment and answered seriously: "Give birth to a child."
"I really don't know how to do this great thing."
Jiang Fei's eyes lit up with a smile because of Lu Yu's reaction: "Teach me how to weave it."
"Okay." Lu Yu leaned over and picked up the gloves on the tool and handed them to Jiang Fei:
"Dry straw has a lot of tiny thorns that can easily scratch your skin, so wear gloves when handling it."
Jiang Fei's eyes fell on Lu Yu's hand: "Aren't you going to wear it?"
"I don't need it."
My neighbor's hands are soft and tender, and need to be protected.
Thinking of the day when they held hands in Huaiyuan Village, Lu Yu's heart beat faster for some reason. He pretended to be calm and taught Jiang Fei how to weave a grass nest.
But his eyes would occasionally glance at Jiang Fei's hand.
The tips of her ears, hidden beneath her strands of hair, gradually turned red, like the lingering sunset glow on the horizon.
