Chapter 12 Chapter 12
012.
The old lady who had fainted on the ground suddenly jumped up as if she had been scalded, her face covered with filth and she screamed. She no longer looked like she was fainted.
Song Chunman put the bucket on the ground and said in a mocking voice, "You woke up so quickly."
The onlookers were silent at first, and then burst into laughter.
Zhang Cuihua was both embarrassed and angry. She wanted to pounce on him and fight him, but Song Chunman glared back at her fiercely: "If you keep throwing a tantrum, I'll pour the next bucket of water all over your room!"
After that, she pulled out a small notebook from her bag and said, "I've recorded the date and price of everything I buy for this house. If you're not satisfied, let's go to the boss to reconcile the accounts and explain to them in detail why I'm getting a divorce."
When Zhang Cuihua heard this, she felt as if her neck was being strangled. She couldn't speak for a long time. Then she smelled the foul odor all over her body and couldn't hold it in any longer. She started to retch and then ran back into the house.
Sun Hongxia couldn't stand the disgusting smell and ran back into the house.
Seeing this, Song Chunman said hello to a few aunts and quickly took the things away to avoid being harassed by the mother and daughter again.
Afterwards, she went to the guesthouse with the driver, checked out of the room, and then took him to the rented house.
After the driver and the two comrades helped her unload her things, they moved them into the house and put them away before leaving.
Before leaving, Song Chunman gave some money to the three brothers and said, "I still have to clean up, so I won't treat you to dinner. Keep these."
The driver quickly refused: "No, no, we are here on the orders of the deputy director. We don't need your money."
Song Chunman stuffed the money into their hands and smiled. "He is him, and I am me. There is no conflict. You have worked hard today."
Seeing this, the driver no longer refused. After taking the money, he felt a little embarrassed and followed her to move the wardrobe and dressing table into the second bedroom before leaving.
After they arrived, Song Chunman began to pack up.
Song Xiyue had a whistle hanging around her neck. Thinking of what the landlord said yesterday, her eyes lit up and she blew it several times.
However, the landlord did not appear after blowing a few blasts as he said, and she felt a little disappointed.
However, she was still very happy to help her mother pack up her things. After all, she would no longer have to see her grandmother, be pinched by her, or be called a bastard by her, and she would no longer have to be yelled at by her father.
Happy ^-^
The mother and daughter were busy until after five in the evening. The small house, which was originally a bit shabby, finally had the atmosphere of someone living in it.
Song Chunman stood up and pounded her waist. She turned around and saw her daughter standing on tiptoe to wipe the dust off the windowsill. The strands of hair on her forehead were wet with sweat from her busy work, sticking to her rosy little face. There was still some dust on the tip of her nose from moving.
"Yueyue, come here." She took out a handkerchief and wiped her daughter's face. Her fingertips touched the scalding skin. "Mom will boil some hot water and give you a bath to cool down."
Song Xiyue nodded obediently and hugged her mother's legs and shook: "I want to soak! Like sitting in a bucket."
Song Chunman smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you soak as much as you want tonight."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen, but found that after turning the faucet for a long time, only a thin stream of water dripped out.
She frowned slightly, turned off the water and tried several times, but it was still as thin as a thread. She tried for a long time but couldn't fill a full bowl of water.
She was so careless that she forgot to turn on the faucet to check when she looked at the house.
"Mom, is there no water?" Song Xiyue's voice came from the door.
"It's okay." Song Chunman calmed herself down, stood up, looked at her and smiled, "Let's go to the neighbor's house and borrow some water to wipe our faces."
When she was moving things into the house just now, the aunt next door was very welcoming and asked her if she needed help. She thought it shouldn't be difficult to borrow some water.
Sure enough, after two knocks on the door, a kind round face appeared. It was a woman of about forty years old, wearing a blue apron and holding a spatula in her hand. "Are you the new girl who moved in? I saw you busy all afternoon."
"Hello, Auntie." Song Chunman was a little embarrassed. "It seems that there is no water in our water pipe. I want to borrow some water to wipe the child's face."
"Hey, it's no big deal!" The woman readily stepped aside to let them in. "The house here has been sitting there for a long time. I think it's blocked somewhere. We can just find someone to fix it later."
Then she pointed to the faucet at the door and said, "You answer it."
Song Chunman smiled, picked up the bucket and went to get some water, then asked, "Is the vegetable market far from here?"
"It's not far. Just turn left at the alley entrance and you'll be there in a few minutes." The woman asked, "Where's your husband? Why didn't I see him this afternoon?"
Song Chunman raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "He doesn't live here. After he settles down in a few days, I will invite you to taste my cooking."
The woman was a perceptive person. Seeing that she didn't want to say more, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll definitely go and have a free meal later."
After thanking their neighbor, the mother and daughter returned home with half a bucket of water and went out to buy vegetables.
It was already six o'clock at this time, and the restaurants outside should have closed long ago, so the mother and daughter went to the vegetable market. Fortunately, the working hours here were late, so the vegetable market was still open when they arrived.
It's the end of April now and the weather is a bit hot. Song Chunman didn't dare to buy too many vegetables. She also bought some noodles, planning to eat them later.
After shopping and returning home, she started to light a fire and cook noodles.
Song Xiyue felt a little bored watching her mother busy in the kitchen. She blew the small whistle in her hand, but the landlord still didn't show up.
She tilted her head, suddenly thought of something, immediately went into the room, and then tiptoed out.
When Song Chunman finished cooking the noodles and came out to call for help, she found that the child who was playing in the living room had disappeared.
She was so frightened that her face changed immediately and she ran out immediately. She looked around and saw the little girl coming back happily from the other side of the alley.
Song Chunman immediately ran up to her and looked at her sullenly, "Where did you go just now? Do you know that you scared your mother to death?"
Song Xiyue looked at her with a bad face and drooped her head: "Sorry, Mom, I went to the agency store."
After that, she handed over the crumpled candy in her hand and said, "I went to buy some fruit candy."
I also asked my aunt at the agency store to help me dial a number.
The agency store is in the alley, not far from here. Song Chunman saw it when they went out just now. The child probably remembered it, so she went out.
Now that everyone was back safely, Song Chunman wanted to lose her temper but couldn't. She just said sullenly, "Don't do this next time. What if we get caught by bad guys? If you want to buy some candy, Mommy can go with you."
"I know, Mom." Song Xiyue grumbled, pulling her hand and acting coquettishly, "Yueyue, don't be like this in the future. Ask Mom to go with you wherever you go."
Song Chunman rubbed her head and pulled her into the house to eat noodles.
After finishing her noodles, she was about to clean up the dishes when she heard footsteps outside the door.
Song Chunman looked up and saw Gu Tingzhou standing at the door.
She was stunned. "Gu...Comrade Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Tingzhou's eyes swept across the empty bowl on the table and fell on Song Xiyue's face.
The little girl immediately narrowed her eyes and grinned at him, revealing her white teeth.
It seemed that Song Chunman didn't know that the little girl had just called his house to talk about the faucet. He had just arrived home at that time. The military compound was not too far away and it was fast to drive there, so he came directly here.
But the little girl on the phone just now didn't let him tell her mother, so he didn't expose it.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "I just suddenly remembered that I left something here last night, so I came over."
