"She lived here when she sent me to college a few years ago, so she was very familiar with the place. Later, I talked about this with my mother on the phone, and she told me not to make any arrangements, saying that my childhood friend had already arranged a place for her."
"Your childhood friend?"
"Yes, my childhood friend is Wu Lixuan. She sells tea, and the tea she sells is very good." Xie Wanying took the opportunity to help her childhood friend promote the good tea.
Zhai Yunsheng seemed to remember this and replied, "No wonder last time I told you, Senior Brother Cao, to take the can of tea at home, he said he didn't need it."
Not only Brother Cao, but many seniors in the hospital bought tea from her childhood friend. The main reason was that her childhood friend sold tea economically and would not cheat people.
"Well, let her send some to me next time." Hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng showed interest. No one dislikes good quality and cheap things. Doctors are typical pragmatic people. The money they earn belongs to the upper middle class of society, not the rich, and they are very careful about spending money.
Xie Wanying also passed her childhood friend's phone number to Uncle Zhai.
"Which hotel did she book for your family?" Zhai Yunsheng asked for the specific address. Maybe one day when he was passing by, he could go and meet her family.
"I didn't book a hotel." Xie Wanying said.
...
...
Wu Lixuan would not let her beloved godmother stay in the simple guesthouse. She wanted to stay in a star-rated hotel. As for the hotel fee, Wu Lixuan believed that she earned money thanks to the connections of her childhood friend, and she had long wanted to repay him, so she had to pay for it. The problem was that Sun Rongfang and Xie Wanying would not let her pay for it. So there was the following version.
"Lixuan said her friend had a vacant house that she could lend to my mother. During that time, we cleaned and looked after her friend's house and used that as rent. My mother agreed as soon as she heard that," said Xie Wanying.
Such a good thing? There just happened to be a vacant house? Zhai Yunsheng felt something was amiss and looked at his nephew who had been unusually silent since this question.
Cao Yong seemed not to hear what they said. He only used the chopsticks to pick up delicious food from his junior sister's bowl.
Every time she ate with Senior Brother Cao, her bowl was always stuffed full. Xie Wanying quickly moved her bowl away, as she was almost full.
"Where is the house?" Zhai Yunsheng asked.
This one, according to my childhood friend, is in Fangzhuang, which happens to be close to the new house they bought.
Near Guqin Garden where his nephew lived, Zhai Yunsheng understood immediately: his nephew pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was extremely anxious inside.
Taking a sip of tea, Zhai Yunsheng gave her a warning on behalf of his nephew: "If the house you rent is not convenient for transportation, we have an empty house that you can rent to your family. You can consider it."
Should I live in Brother Cao's house? Xie Wanying thought about it.
"It won't be inappropriate." Catching her expression, Zhai Yunsheng further explained, "You and your family don't have to be embarrassed. You know, your Senior Sister Li and the others have been staying at your Senior Brother Cao's house."
It is said that after being discharged from the hospital, Sister Li plans to continue to live in Brother Cao's dormitory with her child. She will move back home after the confinement period is over and her and her child's health is stable.
Senior Brother Cao had no objection to this, even though his house almost became a suspected "haunted house" at one point.
Xie Wanying nodded and thanked her senior first: "Thank you, Teacher Zhai. But my mother said Li Xuan has arranged it."
"When will your family come up?"
"My mother said it might be possible to come earlier, before the Spring Festival, as long as my brother has winter vacation." Xie Wanying said.
