Seeing that the old lady with the mole was a quick and efficient person, Old Xu didn't say anything more. He pointed to the two large rooms on the right: "I have a total of four rooms. One of these two is where I live, and the other is used to store miscellaneous items."
These two rooms are empty, no one lives here. You can tidy up and stay here!
"Okay, done!"
The old lady with the mole beamed with joy, wishing she could move her things over right now!
However, she didn't have much stuff herself. This time when she went back to her hometown, she only brought two big bags. The rest of her things were still at Niu Liye's house.
Niu Liye's house wasn't far from here, so they got ready quickly!
As it was getting close to morning, Lu Zhiye decided to invite a few people to a restaurant.
The old lady with the mole called to Old Liu to tidy up the room, then walked out happily: "Who goes out to eat on the first day of moving?"
How about this, I'll go to the state-run restaurant and order a few dishes, and also go to the market over there to buy some fresh vegetables, and cook a meal for everyone!
It's been over an hour since we'll eat, so how about we eat a little later?
Everyone instinctively looked at the two elderly people sitting in the courtyard. Niu Liye spoke first: "That's wonderful! I've missed Auntie's cooking while I've been away from home!"
To be honest, everyone is bustling around before and after the New Year, but this courtyard is mostly inhabited by elderly people living alone, and the whole place is eerily quiet!
Now that these people have come in, it finally feels like there's some life here!
This is probably why Lao Kong and the others let Meng Qing and the other person go so easily!
Every day when I open my eyes and see their two children, I feel hopeful for the future!
At least it's new life, it's a new beginning!
Lu Zhiye called out to Auntie Mole: "Auntie, I'll go to the state-run restaurant and order two dishes, and I'll also drive over to pick up the kids!"
I'm also bringing you the two packages you left at our house, so you don't have to make another trip!
"Oh, that's great! Auntie will give you the money!"
The moment the old woman with the mole turned around, Lu Zhiye got up and left.
He first went to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes before going home!
The caregiver was washing clothes in the yard, watching the children play with a smile!
Yuanyuan is still in a wheelchair. His wheelchair is specially made. Wen Sihe drew up the blueprints based on the appearance of wheelchairs in later generations, and Lu Zhiye personally found someone to go to the factory to find a master craftsman to make it!
Similar to the electric wheelchairs of later generations, this cost a lot of money!
When the children saw Lu Zhiye return, they chattered and came up to greet him!
Perhaps because she witnessed the death of her parents, or perhaps because Lu Zhiye saved her, Zhou Xinxin was most attached to Lu Zhiye.
Lu Zhiye had just stepped inside when Zhou Xinxin ran over and hugged his leg!
"Uncle Lu, you're back! I just got something for Yuanyuan to eat, peeled chestnuts, and poured him water. Wasn't I great?!"
Her pleading look melted Lu Zhiye's heart. He ruffled Zhou Xinxin's hair and said, "Very good!"
Wen Sihe and Yan Wenqing both went to the store to help out. The closer it got to the Chinese New Year, the busier the store became!
There was also a grand lucky draw for the New Year today, and even Jian Nanxing, who usually dislikes crowds, went to join in the fun!
Only a caregiver was left at home to look after a few children!
The caregiver Lu Zhiye found previously worked at an orphanage.
She was mute; for some unknown reason, her tongue had been cut off!
The orphanage had not only sent away many of the older children, but also several caregivers, because they couldn't afford to pay their wages!
This person was personally recommended by the director of the orphanage, who said she was down-to-earth, hardworking, and quite meticulous!
Lu Zhiye has arranged for someone to take care of Yuanyuan here, and after observing for a period of time, it is indeed the case!
She used to stay with relatives, but now it's too much trouble to travel between the south and north of the city, so Yan Wenqing cleaned out a small house for Yingzi to live in.
Lu Zhiye walked up to Yingzi and raised his voice, saying, "I'm taking the kids out. You can have the afternoon off. You can go shopping for some things or visit relatives during the holiday!"
Yingzi paused while washing clothes, then shook her head like a rattle drum, gesturing incessantly that she didn't need a holiday!
Last time, the dean announced a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the festival, a large number of people were laid off!
Yingzi was afraid that Lu Zhiye would feel the same way. Seeing her strong resistance, and then looking at the noisy children, Lu Zhiye had no choice but to compromise: "Then you come with us and keep an eye on the children!"
Let's spend Chinese New Year together this year!
Yingzi is mute, but not deaf, so Lu Zhiye's words reached her ears clearly. She widened her eyes in surprise, quickly grabbed the clothes, shook them a few times, and hung them on the line!
Then he ran back into the house and came out carrying a cloth bag!
Lu Zhiye could see what was inside her open cloth bag!
Besides some food, there was also a bag of clothes wrapped in cloth, which, if I'm not mistaken, should be round!
Yuanyuan, if an emergency occurs in this situation, it will be really difficult to clean up the mess if your clothes get dirty!
Thank goodness the caregiver is so attentive!
These days, there are very few cars on the streets, let alone traffic police checking cars like in later generations!
So six people were sitting in one car and nobody cared!
Yuanyuan sat in the passenger seat, Yingzi held Xinxin, and Lele and Tuantuan squeezed together!
As the car started, Lu Zhiye asked curiously, "Where are Auntie's two twins?"
The children sat up straight and immediately replied, "Mom said she was going to get them some new clothes, so she took them to the store!"
"Okay, I'll take you there first, then come back to pick up Mom and the others!"
After picking up some food at a restaurant on the way, Lu Zhiye parked the car back in the alley courtyard and took the children to Auntie Mole's house!
"You all stay here and behave yourselves. Sister Yingzi, I'll leave it to you to look after these children!"
Yingzi nodded emphatically!
When Lu Zhiye returned with his men, Aunt Mole had already prepared two large tables of dishes!
The scene in the courtyard left Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe looking at each other in bewilderment.
Old Kong and Old Xu were both circling around Yuanyuan, with Old Kong holding some unidentified objects in his hands!
It must have been saved from before!
His eyes were full of heartache as he looked at Yuanyuan.
"Oh, Hehe's here? Come and see, what do you think of our new house?"
"Big Tiger, Second Tiger, come to Mommy!!!"
Da Hu and Er Hu let go of Wen Si He's hand and rushed towards the old woman with the mole like they were having a blast.
They nearly knocked over the flour basket in the old lady's hands. The old lady laughed and scolded them, slapping them on the head: "Don't you know how to watch your step!"
"It fell on the ground, what are you going to eat?!"
The twins chuckled and snuggled closer to the woman with the mole!
This made Niu Jianjun and Niu Niu, who were sitting next to him, so angry that their faces turned red and their necks bulged!
Instinctively, she rushed over and pushed the twins, saying, "This is my grandma!"
"Who are you?"
The two children were basically raised by Auntie Mole from a young age. Naturally, they were unwilling to have two more children suddenly come up and share their affection!
