With less than five minutes left before the afternoon class started, Wang Zhen ran in, sweating profusely.
"Huh~Huh~, I'm lucky I'm not late." Wang Zhen sat down panting, took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the sweat from his face.
He returned the bicycle key to Xu Manman and said, "Sixth Brother, thank you for today."
Xu Manman put the keys into her bag and said, "Third sister, are you okay?" She looked even more tired than yesterday.
Wang Zhen was still trying to catch her breath. "It's okay. The baby was a little fussy. I coaxed him to sleep before I came out."
She was originally planning to ride her bike back, which was slower than her husband's, but time was not as tight. But when she was about to go out, the child suddenly started crying non-stop. She held the child and comforted him for a long time. She waited until the child fell asleep before going out. She was afraid that she would not be able to leave in time, so she rode very fast all the way.
Yang Yang said to Wang Zhen, "Third sister, you are so tired today, you might as well ask your brother-in-law to pick you up."
Wang Zhen pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Forget it. It's better for me to be tired alone than to have to deal with two people. Lao Liu, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow your bicycle for the next two days."
Xu Manman looked at the book and nodded calmly, "Okay, there's nothing urgent during the day these two days."
From Wang Zhen, she truly felt how difficult it is to be a mother. Even though Wang Zhen has her mother-in-law to help her at home, most things related to the children have to be done by the mother herself, and no one can replace her.
She could understand, but she couldn't empathize with him. Instead, it gave her another excuse not to get married and have children.
On Saturday, Xu Manman had no classes after the morning, and Chen Ming had two classes in the afternoon.
However, she didn't wait for Chen Ming. After class in the morning, she went to the school gate with Yang Yang and met up with several people from her original dormitory.
"Eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister." Those waiting at the school gate were Huang Lijuan, Cai Mei and Li Xiaochun.
Today they made an appointment to go to Xu Manman's house together to get acquainted with the place. Wang Zhen first rode her bicycle home to feed the child, and then rode her bicycle directly over there.
This was actually proposed by Yang Yang yesterday, but Xu Manman did not object. Although she and the girls in the dormitory were not as close as best friends, they had never had any major conflicts. Besides, these were all future connections, so maintaining good relationships was not a bad thing.
Sitting on the bus, Yang Yang was extremely excited. "Youngest, what are your parents like? Last time, when my fourth sister got married, I went to her house, then to my third sister's house. Now I'm going to yours. So, I have someone in Beijing now."
Xu Manman smiled and replied, "Yes, from now on I will be Fifth Sister's connection in Beijing. If you have any problems in the future, just come to my house directly."
The eldest, Huang Lijuan, turned her head from the front row and said, "You two are in class together every day, so why would you both need to go home?"
Yang Yang shook his head, "That's different."
Cai Mei whispered to Li Xiaochun, "Is there really no one at Manman's house?"
"I heard from my third sister that it seems that she and classmate Chen are the only ones living here, and the adults are still in Hai City."
Cai Mei had also heard this from Yang Yang, but she still found it a little unbelievable. Since they came here from other places to study, their family actually specially built a house for them to live in. Moreover, the two of them were not very old, so their family was actually at ease.
Several people got out of the car and walked towards the alley. This time, Xu Manman was entertaining her classmates, and she originally wanted to open the main door, but then she thought about it and realized that only the yard of the second room belonged to her family.
Beyond the gate is the main courtyard of the master's house, which is empty and no one lives there, so it's not convenient to take them there. Xiao Jin also hung a small sign for her at the side door, so when Wang Zhen comes later, she won't have to worry about not being able to find it.
So Xu Manman led a few people around the main gate and came to the side door. She took out the key, opened the door, and pushed it open.
"This is my home, come in."
Yang Yang stared at the empty yard with wide eyes. Why was it different from what he had imagined?
She had been to the homes of her fourth and third sisters. Li Xiaochun's wedding room was a single room of more than 20 square meters allocated by the unit. A bedroom was separated from it by wooden boards. It was in a tube-shaped building. The living environment was similar to hers, but her parents were both working and her father was a leader, so the house they were allocated was bigger.
As for my third sister Wang Zhen's family, they live in what is called a slum here. Although there are many rooms and the overall area is not small, it is not enough for a large family to live together. The couple lives in the west wing, and the room seems to be separated by a wall, so it doesn't look very spacious.
And when she went there, she found that the people living in the bungalow yard were mixed, and there were things piled everywhere along the walls and walkways in the yard. There were so many things and so many people, otherwise how could it be called a slum.
