After parting ways, Lin Xiaoman, carrying her bag, walked for three minutes to the community's senior activity center.
The original owner, Li Yanying's husband, died when Shen Xinyi was in junior high school. He fell into the river on his way home drunk. No one found him, and he drowned.
Her hometown was poor and there were not many lucrative jobs. After her husband died, in order to allow her daughter to go to high school and college, Li Yanying went to Wu City to work. She started out as a nurse in a hospital, and saved money by living frugally to support her daughter's education.
After graduating from high school, Chen Xinyi applied to a university in Wu City, and the mother and daughter were reunited. Then, after graduating from university, because of Zhou Yang, Chen Xinyi stayed here, and Li Yanying also stayed in Wu City.
Five years ago, Li Yanying met Mrs. Sun in the hospital. Mrs. Sun's husband had passed away, and her children were all busy making money. They all lived in other big cities and only came back during the holidays. They didn't have much time to take care of the elderly on other days.
Perhaps it was because they were attracted to each other, that Old Mrs. Sun liked her particularly. Considering that the old lady was old and it was inconvenient for her to live alone and she needed someone to take care of her, the old lady's children who were not short of money offered Li Yanying a high salary.
Li Yanying became Mrs. Sun's nanny and lived in the Sun family, responsible for taking care of the old lady's food, clothing, and daily life.
Occasionally, when Li Yanying has something to do, she will send Mrs. Sun to the community's senior activity center, where there are special caregivers and there is no need to worry about anything.
"Aunt Li, you're back."
As Lin Xiaoman entered, Jiang Yu, a young front desk employee at the community center, greeted her enthusiastically. Then, with a look of obvious curiosity and gossip, she asked, "How's it going? Has Sister Xinyi bought her wedding house?"
"Yes, I've bought it." Lin Xiaoman smiled and didn't say much.
"Oh, Aunt Li, you really found a good son-in-law. Such a big house, and he paid for it in full as soon as he said. When Sister Xinyi marries him in the future, you will enjoy the good life with her." The little girl Jiang Yu's face was full of envy.
Li Yanying only mentioned it to Old Lady Sun when she went out in the morning, but now it is obvious that everyone knows about it.
This news spread quickly.
As for enjoying happiness?
hehe.
Lin Xiaoman, who didn't want to talk about this at all, responded vaguely and changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Jiang, did you guys get together with the guy Sister Yang introduced last time?"
Jiang Yu's smile froze and she felt unhappy. The man introduced by Aunt Yang had good looks and conditions, and she liked him very much, but the key was that he didn't like her. Alas.
Jiang Yu muttered, "No. Maybe he's not interested. We haven't been in touch since we met."
"Is that so? Auntie will introduce you to someone tomorrow."
Li Yanying is also a part-time matchmaker, and she has information on hundreds of single men and women.
Jiang Yu became happy again, "Aunt Li, thank you so much for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble." Lin Xiaoman waved his hand and ended the conversation. "Ah, it's late. I went back to pick up Aunt Sun and I still have to cook."
"Grandma Sun seems to be over there..." Jiang Yu pointed.
…
In the spacious activity room, which is as big as a basketball court, a group of elderly people gathered together, some playing chess, some watching TV, some playing mahjong... It was very lively.
Following the direction Jiang Yu pointed and looking around for a few times, Lin Xiaoman found Old Mrs. Sun.
The old lady was drinking tea and chatting with several older sisters of similar age.
It is said that three women make a drama. When a group of retired old ladies get together, they have endless things to talk about.
"Xiao Li is back."
When Lin Xiaoman walked over, an old lady with sharp eyes saw her first and greeted her.
"Hey, Sister Xia." Lin Xiaoman greeted with a smile, "What are the elder sisters talking about? You look so happy."
"What a coincidence, I was talking about you." Old Mrs. Sun said.
Old Mrs. Sun is in her early seventies. Her hair is already gray and her face is covered with wrinkles. Although she is old, her eyes are still bright and she looks in good spirits.
Old Lady Sun waved her hand and said, "Xiao Li, come quickly and tell me, have you settled on the house yet?"
"It's already been booked. It's a ready-to-move-in house. You can get the key next week after completing the formalities and paying the money." Without mentioning the name, Lin Xiaoman replied happily.
"That's great! When are you getting married? Then you should treat us old ladies to some wedding candy and share in the good luck."
"Of course..."
Although he felt bad in his heart, Lin Xiaoman agreed with a smile on his face.
Here, any little thing that happens in someone's family will be spread all over the place. Gossip is definitely one of the biggest interests of the elderly.
So Lin Xiaoman didn't plan to tell a group of outsiders about the trivial matter of the house name.
After chatting with this group of old ladies for more than half an hour, Lin Xiaoman took Old Lady Sun and said goodbye, taking the excuse that it was time to cook.
Old Mrs. Sun has poor legs and feet and gets tired after standing for a long time, so she always carries a wheelchair when she goes out.
After helping the person into the wheelchair, Lin Xiaoman slowly pushed her back to Old Lady Sun's house.
Old Mrs. Sun's home is right next to the community, in an old villa complex. It's a two-story villa of more than 200 square meters with a small yard where there are many vegetables she loves.
Although it looks a bit shabby, the current market value of this house is something that Lin Xiaoman can only look up to.
After returning home, Lin Xiaoman turned the TV to the opera channel for Old Mrs. Sun and went into the kitchen to cook.
The old lady had bad teeth, so she cooked some porridge, some pumpkin and some stewed eggs, and that was it for dinner.
