Yingbao continued looking, and nestled among the bamboo and trees, rows of neat tiled stone houses stood there, a sight that was both comforting and heartwarming.
Yingbao silently counted in her mind, "One, two, three, four, five, six," exactly six rooms, and her family could move in together in the future.
“Hehe,” Yingbao raised her head and asked in a childish voice, “Uncle, how much does it cost to rent this house, including the front and back yards? How much would it cost to buy it?”
Wang Yu...
Why do you call his wife "sister" but him "uncle"? Is he that old?
Wang Yu squatted down, touched his cheek, and asked, "Little girl, your name is Yingbao, right?"
"Mmm," Yingbao nodded.
"Then why do you call my wife 'sister' but call me 'uncle'?"
Lin Yao watched from the side, secretly amused. This silly man, he's like an idiot. It's just a name, why is he arguing with this little girl Yingbao? I wonder if Aunt Wang will stop renting it soon, you silly Yu.
Yingbao chuckled twice, awkwardly touched her nose, and looked at Lin Yao obediently, saying, "That's because Sister Lin Yao is so pretty, that's why I called her that. Uncle, do you think Sister Lin Yao isn't pretty or attractive...?"
Yingbao once again experienced a social disaster. If it weren't for her years of rich experience, which turned the situation around and made it both embarrassing and suffocating, she probably would have wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.
When Lin Yao heard Yingbao say she was pretty, her joy turned into a smile on her face. But when she heard her husband doubt her looks, she gave him a look that told him to figure it out for himself.
Wang Yu was glared at by his wife Lin Yao's big eyes, and he immediately said tactfully, "No way, little girl, don't talk nonsense. I have been admiring my wife's appearance for a long time. Being able to marry her is a blessing I could never have had in three lifetimes."
Wang Yitong stared blankly at the scene. Her daughter, Yingbao, started covering her mouth and changing the subject, digging a trap for the young man. The young man, being a loving husband, immediately realized what was happening and started to argue.

"Well, as for calling him uncle... it's..." Yingbao was about to explain why she called Wang Yu uncle when Wang Yitong interrupted her, afraid that her daughter might misbehave and say something wrong.
Wang Yitong picked up Yingbao and said, "Yingbao, let's hurry up and look at the house, otherwise your dad will worry and come looking for us again."
Yingbao thought about it and agreed, so she quietly nestled in Wang Yitong's arms without saying anything more.
Wang Yi and Lin Yao then led Yingbao and Wang Yitong to look at the surrounding shops...
———
They had looked at about ten places, and three of them suited their tastes. They needed to go back and think about it, so Wang Yitong said gently, "Lin, let's go back and think about it and see which one to rent. We'll come back tomorrow and give you an answer."
"Hmm... okay, then you can go back and think about it first! Once you've decided whether you want to rent or buy, just bring your village's letter of introduction and other relevant documents to prove your identity to come find us," Lin Yao kindly reminded her.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while and saying goodbye, Yingbao and Wang Yitong started pushing the cart home. Halfway there, the mother and daughter pushed the cart to the bottom of a steep slope where no one had noticed them, and relieved themselves.
