The cartoon clock hanging on the wall in the room showed that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Qiao Yan's phone lit up, indicating that she had received a text message. She opened it and saw that it was from someone named Aunt Liu, asking her if she had packed and asking her to go to her house for dinner on the first day of moving in. After all, she was now half a landlord, so it was necessary to hold a small welcome party for the new residents.
Looking at this text message, Qiao Yan suddenly realized that she had just moved in today...
Gurgle.
Her stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment, and she finally replied to Aunt Liu with a single "OK," who immediately told her the route and address.
Putting down the work she was doing, Qiao Yan was the first to go out to have the welcome meal.
Before leaving, she glanced at the suitcase in the corner of the living room. She hadn't packed her luggage yet... Never mind, let's talk about it later.
She used to live in room 402 on the fourth floor. When she passed by room 401 next door, she could smell the aroma of food coming from inside the door. Hmm, it seemed like there were pork ribs.

Just when I was thinking that these neighbors seemed easy to get along with, I was bumped into by someone running towards me.

The person who bumped into her apologized repeatedly. He was a man wearing a white T-shirt, who looked to be in his twenties, with bronze skin, sweat on his forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm in a hurry. I, I have to quickly get my things and go to my part-time job. If you have any questions, please contact me later. I live in 503. I will compensate you!"
He said this hurriedly and rushed in. Qiao Yan touched his arm. It didn't hurt anymore after that moment, so he shouldn't have to pay compensation.
At the iron gate of the community, Qiao Yan saw a little girl being led in. She was wearing a pink puffy skirt and carrying a big red schoolbag on her back. Her hair was tied up into two short ponytails hanging on both sides of her head.
"Dad, today the teacher praised me for eating very cleanly!" Qiao Yan heard the little girl speaking in a baby voice. Because her pronunciation was not standard, some words sounded very cute when she said them.
"So impressive!" The man's response was also very impressive. "No wonder Mom cooked spare ribs tonight. It turns out she wanted to reward you!"
Ribs.
Qiao Yan thought of the smell coming from the door of 401. Could they be the residents of 401?
