"Then let's go now."
Yun Qiao locked the door of the clinic and followed Qin Guifen to see the house.
Zeng Meilian's home is closer to the team headquarters. You can go out from the north gate of the team headquarters, cross an alley, and turn a corner to get there. It is only two or three minutes' walk.
Zeng Meilian's main house consists of four rooms: three main rooms and a west wing adjacent to the main rooms. The three main rooms have only one main door, which connects to the inside. The west wing has its own doors and windows, and there's no door connecting to the main rooms, so it can be rented out separately.
In addition to the four main rooms, there is a kitchen on the east side of the main hall, which is connected to the main hall. Apart from this, there is only a large courtyard.
"Mei-Lian? Mei-Lian?"
Zeng Meilian's door was open. Qin Guifen walked into the yard and called out, "Meilian, are you home? Doctor Ye is here to check on the house."
"At home, at home."
Zeng Meilin's voice came from the west side of the main hall. She quickly lifted the curtain and came out of the room, followed by a little girl, her young daughter.
"Doctor Ye, you're here. Come in and sit down." Zeng Meilin greeted Yun Qiao warmly.
Yun Qiao smiled and shook his head: "No, let's go directly to the room. I have to go back to the health room soon."
"Okay, Dr. Ye, please go ahead and let's go directly to the house and not waste your time." Zeng Meilin said, turned and walked towards the west room, untied the rope tied to the nose of the west room door, pushed the door open, took a step back, and made room for Yun Qiao and others to come in.
"Hey, Doctor Ye, come in and take a look."
Yun Qiao stood at the door and took a look. He found that although this room was only one room, it was very deep, so it looked quite spacious. In addition to the kang, there was also a wardrobe and a desk. However, the room had not been cleaned for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust under his feet and on the furniture, and there was a strong smell of mold.
Zeng Meilian followed Yun Qiao. Her daughter clung to her legs and tried to climb up. Zeng Meilian bent down, picked up her daughter, and introduced herself to Yun Qiao. "This room used to be where my eldest son lived. After my husband passed away, I couldn't take care of the two children by myself, so he moved to the east room and slept with my second son. This room has been empty since then."
"The kang is still good, with no cracks and no smoke leaking out. Just clean it up and move it in, and you can start burning it. My husband built the wardrobe and desk himself, they're very sturdy. They're all ready-made, so you can use them right away without having to buy anything else."
"Doctor Ye, what do you think?"
The west room in Zeng Meilin's house was OK, but it wasn't very big. It was suitable for one person, but not three people. Moreover, the kitchen was too far away. The west room and the kitchen were at the east end of the main house, respectively. They had to share the space with others, which made life inconvenient.
So Yun Qiao did not express his opinion directly, but only said that he needed to think about it.
Zeng Meilian didn't insist. She smiled and walked him to the door, saying, "No, then think about it again. When you've made up your mind, just come to my house."
After leaving Zeng Meilin's house, Qin Guifen took Yun Qiao to Lin Shengnan's house.
Lin Shengnan is the squad leader of the canteen's cooking team. Compared to the team headquarters, her home is closer to the canteen and is also next to the educated youth compound. However, the company camp itself is not big, and the farther one is, the more likely it is to be two steps away. It only takes about six minutes to walk to the team headquarters, so it's not that far.
At this moment, Lin Shengnan is still working in the cafeteria and is not at home. Chang Sheng is the only one at home.
Qin Guifen: "Changsheng, are you the only one at home?"
Changsheng nodded and said nothing.
The teenager entered the voice change period and had a bit of a hoarse voice, which caused him to be laughed at by his friends and classmates. So Changsheng, who was usually lively and talkative, became much quieter. He followed the rule that silence is golden, and he would not speak if he could, and would speak as little as possible.
Qin Guifen asked him, "Doctor Ye wants to rent your house. I came to take a look today. Did your mother tell you?"
Chang Sheng hummed, and finally spoke: "I said it."
The voice sounded a bit like a duck's, but it was not too unpleasant. Yun Qiao and Qin Guifen didn't think there was anything wrong with it anyway.
He took the initiative to open the door of the east wing and said to Yun Qiao, "Doctor Ye, come and take a look."
The east wing of Changsheng's house was very clean. Although no one lived there, one could tell that it was cleaned regularly. There was only a thin layer of dust on the table, and the floor was also spotless.
There was no stove in the house, and Chang Sheng quickly added, "My mom said that if we want to cook after renting the house, we can ask someone to set up a stove behind the door. Just keep it clean and don't make the house dirty."
