Yu Xiangyang recalled the scene of him negotiating with the landlord.
Yu Xiangyang took out 18 yuan and gave it to the landlord. "Tell her the rent is 11 yuan a month, and I'll pay the remaining 3 yuan!"
The landlord was stunned for a moment when he looked at the money, then he laughed and said, "You like that girl outside, right?"
Yu Xiangyang wanted to deny it, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.
There was no need to explain his relationship with Wen Qiuning to these unimportant people.
The landlord accepted Yu Xiangyang's money and complimented him, "You are a talented man and a beautiful woman. I think you two will definitely be successful!"
Yu Xiangyang felt something was wrong and changed the subject, "This matter must be kept secret and she must not know about it. When the next rent payment comes, you still charge her this much and I'll pay the rest."
The landlord said, "No problem! I hope you catch up with this girl soon!"
Yu Xiangyang: “…”
He didn't want to pursue Wen Qiuning!
He just thought this room was suitable. It was not far from the bookstore and there were neighbors living around it, so it was safe!
"Yu Xiangyang!"
Wen Qiuning's voice brought Yu Xiangyang back to his senses. Yu Xiangyang said casually, "It wasn't much of a discussion! The landlord had some problems, and I happened to be able to help. After just a few simple words, he agreed to reduce the rent."
Wen Qiuning knew that Yu Xiangyang was a kind-hearted person, and what Yu Xiangyang said was serious, so Wen Qiuning did not doubt it.
"Thank you, Yu Xiangyang!" Wen Qiuning said, "What can I do for what you did for him?"
Yu Xiangyang said, "No need. You can ask the store for a day off tomorrow. I'll ask Cheng Jingmo to come and help you with your home arrangements."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Yu Xiangyang said to himself, don’t be so polite to him, he is free anyway.
Yu Xiangyang sent Wen Qiuning to the door of the bookstore, but the door was already closed.
Wen Qiuning opened the door and went in for a long time. Yu Xiangyang got out of the car and listened at the door. When he heard nothing, he left.
After running all night, it was already very late when I got home.
Except for Cheng Jingmo, everyone went to bed.
Cheng Jingmo sat in the living room, looking at Yu Xiangyang who walked in from the door.
Yu Xiangyang runs out after dinner every Saturday and Monday recently. He has to ask Yu Xiangyang what he does outside.
Yu Xiangyang ignored Cheng Jingmo's scrutinizing gaze, walked over to him with a dignified manner, and sat down. "It just so happens that you are not asleep, so I want to tell you something."
"Come with me tomorrow to help Wen Qiuning clean up her house!"
Cheng Jingmo's eyes were still sharp. "What house?"
"She's rented a room outside and will be bringing her mother to Beijing to live soon." Yu Xiangyang added, "I'm here to help her look at apartments tonight."
Cheng Jingmo asked again: "Have you been out looking for her all this time?"
Yu Xiangyang thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but I don't want to tell you why I go out!"
Cheng Jingmo asked doubtfully, "Do you like her?"
Yu Xiangyang knew Cheng Jingmo would ask this, and he rolled his eyes in disdain.
"What do I like about her? Can you not be so narrow-minded?" Yu Xiangyang said, "I help her out of kindness and concern!"
He seemed to have thought of a more accurate word and said with emphasis, "Sympathy! Do you understand?"
Cheng Jingmo doesn't quite understand things between men and women.
Wen Qiuning's experience was indeed sympathetic, and he also sympathized with Wen Qiuning.
"What time are we going tomorrow?" Cheng Jingmo asked.
"After breakfast."
Cheng Jingmo stood up and said, "Turn off the lights everywhere. Go to bed early."
Cheng Jingmo returned to the room. Yu Xiangnian and the two children were asleep, leaving a night light on for him.
He tucked the quilt for the two children, then lay down beside Yu Xiangnian. He reached out and held Yu Xiangnian in his arms.
Yu Xiangnian originally had her back to him, but in her sleep, she turned over and faced him, as if she were familiar with him, with her hands on his waist.
Cheng Jingmo kissed her forehead with satisfaction, buried his face in the top of her head, and breathed in her fragrance.
He and Yu Xiangnian can only get together one night a week. Time is precious, and tonight he was delayed by Yu Xiangyang.
He turned off the lights and hugged her tighter.
The next day at breakfast, Yu Xiangnian learned that Yu Xiangyang and Cheng Jingmo were going to help Wen Qiuning clean the house.
She couldn't help but look at Yu Xiangyang a few more times.
Yu Xiangyang is straightforward, kind and helpful, but she still feels that Yu Xiangyang seems to be a little special to Wen Qiuning.
Yu Xiangyang noticed Yu Xiangnian's gaze and glanced over. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to go too?"
Yu Xiangnian raised his chin confidently, "I make a living with my brain, I can't do this kind of physical work!"
Yu Xiangyang set his sights on Xiaojie again, "You're such a big guy, let's go together!"
Xiaojie: “···” Yu Xiangyang said a few days ago that he was eating in vain but would not grow taller!
After breakfast, the three men went out.
Wen Qiuning went to buy brooms, garbage shovels, basins, towels and other things early in the morning.
Several people came into the house and cleaned it first.
While Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie were wiping the windows and mopping the floor, Yu Xiangyang took Wen Qiuning to look at furniture.
Wen Qiuning had a limited budget and only planned to buy a bed, a table and a few stools.
While Yu Xiangyang and the others are here, she will buy these big items first, and she will buy the other things later.
"Don't you want to buy a wardrobe?" Yu Xiangyang asked, "Where will you put your clothes?"
Wen Qiuning said, "When the time comes, I'll just hammer two nails into the wall, tie a rope, and hang the clothes on it."
Yu Xiangyang: "...Where are the bedding?"
"I have already found out where I can make quilts. After I buy the bed, I will ask someone to make one according to the dimensions." Wen Qiuning said, "Oh, by the way, we also need a cupboard." To store pots, pans, and leftovers.
All this furniture cost nearly forty dollars, and she had very little money left.
Wen Qiuning felt pain in her heart but was also happy.
Yu Xiangyang and Wen Qiuning only took two stools back with them; they couldn't take the other large items with them.
Since there was no car to transport these things, this scene happened on the road.
Two men were carrying a bed about 1.5 meters long, and a half-grown child was carrying a table. All three of them were exhausted and sweating.
After moving these things back home, it was time for lunch. Wen Qiuning asked everyone to go out for lunch, and Yu Xiangnian came at this time.
Yu Xiangyang glared at her, "Are you here to eat at mealtime?"
Yu Xiangnian didn't bother to pay attention to what he said. She walked around the room and was happy for Wen Qiuning.
She smiled and said, "Although the furniture is a little small, it's still good. I can buy whatever I need later."
Wen Qiuning also smiled, "Let's go have lunch."
Everyone knew Wen Qiuning's financial situation, so they tacitly chose a nearby noodle shop and each had a bowl of noodles.
Yu Xiangyang quickly finished his noodles and prepared to quietly pay the bill.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Yu Xiangnian, who gave him a look and told him not to pay the bill.
