Xiaowen nodded expressionlessly, went to the bathroom, found the wash basin, and turned on the faucet, but there was no water in it, so she walked out and said, "Grandma, there is no water in the faucet."
"No way?" Qin Sumei heard her grandson's words, walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and saw that there was really no water in it, so she sighed, took the thermos and said: "I'll go borrow some water and boil it to drink, and then come back to collect some rainwater to clean up the house. Are you staying at home or coming with me?"
"I'm at home." Xiao Wen didn't want to go to a stranger's house, so she said she was packing her things at home.
"Okay then, I'm leaving. Remember to open the door for me later." After giving her instructions, Qin Sumei put on her raincoat, carried the washbasin, and went upstairs.
I kept muttering to myself: Why did they choose the fourth floor? It’s so tiring to climb up and down the stairs. I shouldn’t have brought my grandson here.
But having said that, now that I'm here, I might as well stay here for a while before deciding whether to go back.
"On the second floor, the innermost one on the east side, that's it." Qin Sumei came to the second floor, found the place according to the address the young man just gave her, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Mother Lu felt that she had just fallen asleep when she heard a knock on the door. She hurriedly picked up her shoes and walked out. She opened the door and looked at the old lady in front of her who looked different from others. She wondered, "Old sister, who are you looking for?"
"Big sister, I just moved here from the fourth floor. My son Lin Zhongguo told me to come to your house if I have any problems. I encountered some difficulties here, so I came here." Qin Sumei looked at the people and said with a smile
"Auntie, come in and talk." Lu Qingyan heard this in the house, put on her shoes and walked out.
"Oh, okay." Qin Sumei didn't expect there was such a beautiful girl in the room. Now she can feast her eyes.
Section 40
She usually likes good-looking people and feels that just looking at someone can make her happy for the whole day.
But after I decided to join the army, I was sad for several days, thinking that I would never see good-looking people again.
Unexpectedly, she met him right after she arrived at the army. God really treated her well.
"Girl, I'm your leader's mother. He told me that if my family needs something, I'll come to your house to borrow it first. I just arrived and I don't even have a sip of water, so I came to your house to borrow a pot of water." Qin Sumei entered the house and looked at Lu Qingyan and explained embarrassedly.
"Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll go get you some water right now. Just a pot of water, what else?" Although Mother Lu didn't know whether the regiment commander was more powerful than the battalion commander, she knew from her daughter's actions that the water should be poured for him.
"Thank you for your help." Qin Sumei didn't expect this family to be so welcoming, so she smiled and thanked them.
"Auntie, our water supply was cut off last night, so..." Lu Qingyan didn't finish her words, believing that the person in front of her should understand what she said.
"I know this, don't worry." Qin Sumei had lived to such an old age and understood what Lu Qingyan had not finished saying.
"It's not that I don't want to help others. I just got pregnant and there's only one tank of water at home. You lend me some, she lends me some. I'm afraid I won't have any to use by then." Lu Qingyan was afraid that she would leave a bad impression on others, so she touched her belly and frowned.
"Yes, you can't suffer for others, your idea is right." Qin Sumei didn't think there was anything wrong with this. If a person doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, let alone a pregnant woman.
"Sister, the water is ready. If it's not enough, come back and fill it up." After filling the kettle, Mother Lu took it out and said
"This is enough to trouble you. It's not good to always come to borrow more." Qin Sumei heard this and shook her head.
"It's okay. Even if I don't have any water, it's enough for you to drink." Seeing her like this, Lu's mother thought that this person was trustworthy.
"Then, sister, I'm leaving first. My grandson is alone at home and I'm worried." Qin Sumei felt embarrassed to stay here seeing how polite they were. She took the thermos, said hello to the two of them and walked out
After they closed the door, they looked at the people who were looking out from the front and muttered, "How stingy! They don't even have enough water for a kettle."
When the others heard this, their heads instantly retracted.
They originally thought that after this lady borrowed some water, they would go and borrow some too.
But who could have thought that this family was so stingy that they wouldn't even lend a little water. If this were in the countryside, there would be plenty of water, so who would be willing to lend it?
Qin Sumei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the others retracting their heads. She picked up the thermos and quickly went upstairs to go home.
"My daughter, this old lady looks different from others." After Qin Sumei left, Mother Lu muttered to her daughter.
"Of course it's different. She's the captain's mother. With that kind of temperament, who knows what her family situation is like." If Lu Qingyan hadn't seen the old lady's temperament, she would never have borrowed water from her.
You have to know that with so many new people coming, once the door is opened, it will be difficult not to borrow.
She would not let her family go without drinking water for the sake of others.
"Captain? He's higher up than Mingze?" Mother Lu didn't know if the captain was a high-ranking official, so she looked at her daughter and asked.
"Mom, this is a position, we can't be official or not." Lu Qingyan hugged her mother and said with a smile: "Of course the regiment commander is higher than the battalion commander, there is a difference of two levels."
"Then mother should deal with that old sister carefully in the future." When Lu's mother heard this, she thought that she should deal with her carefully in the future and not offend her, so as not to cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law.
"You don't have to go out of your way to curry favor with people for us. Gu Mingze got promoted based on his own abilities, not by flattery.
So, if you get along with that lady, just get along well with her. If you don't, just get along with her on the surface. " Lu Qingyan didn't want her mother to be angry with others for her, and she believed that Gu Mingze would not think so.
"Don't worry about it. I know everything." After saying this, Mother Lu sent her daughter back to the house and sat on a stool, thinking about what to bring to visit tomorrow.
Then he shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and decided to talk about it tomorrow.
In this way, the few of them woke up, had dinner, and sat in the bed, doing clothes and chatting. Suddenly, they heard a sound of something falling, which scared Lu Qingyan.
"Crack..."
"What's the noise?" Seeing her daughter was frightened, Lu's mother asked if she was okay and whether her stomach hurt.
"It's okay, my stomach doesn't hurt." Lu Qingyan shook her head
Seeing that her daughter was fine, Mother Lu got up, put on her shoes and went out. She opened the door and listened to the noise outside.
"You're a dead loser. You can't even hold a plate. What do you want me to do?" an old lady shouted sarcastically.
"Grandma, I didn't mean it." A cowardly little girl's voice came out again.
"You said you didn't mean it, so you didn't mean it? I think you are just like your mother, you just don't want me and your aunt to come." The old lady said as she reached out to hit the little girl.
"Mom, please don't hit Daya. She really didn't mean it." The woman hugged the little girl and said with tears in her mouth.
After listening to it twice, Mother Lu didn't want to listen anymore. She locked the door and went back to the house. She looked at the two people in the house and said, "The family upstairs doesn't sound like a good family. Don't keep in touch with them anymore."
