When Mother Lu heard what Sun Dahua said, she smiled and called her to go with her.
"No need, you go ahead, I'll walk slowly behind you." Although Sun Dahua wanted to go with them, she was afraid of the old lady, so she could only pout and follow them slowly.
"Hey, what's your name? Are you also going to the army?" Seeing the old lady following slowly from behind, Mother Lu couldn't help but slow down her pace and approached Sun Dahua to ask
"Yes, my son wrote to me and asked me to bring my grandson to join the army. My name is Sun Dahua." Sun Dahua originally didn't want to pay attention to Lu's mother, but after hearing her question, she couldn't help but answer.
Then Lu's mother kept asking questions one by one, and Sun Dahua answered without any precautions. After arriving at the army, the two separated. Only then did Sun Dahua realize that she had been chatting with the old lady all the way but didn't even know her name. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
But now the person has left and I can't find him. I can only ask him when I meet him next time.
After Gu Mingze, Lu Qingyan and their group arrived at the newly divided home.
Mother Lu looked at the small courtyard in front of her and said with a smile: "I originally thought that we would be allocated a tube-shaped building, but now it's good. This small courtyard is enough for us to grow some vegetables."
"Yes, open up every corner here, and then plant some vegetables to have enough for us to eat." Father Lu was also very satisfied with this small yard. Just like now, before he even moved in, he started gesturing in the yard, saying what to plant here and what to plant there.
Finally, Lu Qingyan couldn't stand it anymore and urged them to go back to the house and pack up their things. It wouldn't be too late to study it after they finished packing.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's pack up first. After we've packed up everything, we can figure out what to plant in the yard." After saying this, Mother Lu felt that Kyoto was much hotter than their Heilongjiang Province, so she kept nagging, "This big place is hot. It feels cool in the morning and evening at home, but it's great here. It's really hot."
"Then why don't you say that it's warmer here in winter than where we are? But there are only beds here, and no kang in winter. I don't think you can adapt to it, Dad and Mom." Lu Qingyan went into the house, put down her things, looked around, and found that the house was quite spacious except for the bed, so she walked out and said.
"It's okay. Just put a few more hot water bottles in the bed to keep it warm." Mother Lu and Father Lu have gotten used to the days without a kang in recent years, and they don't feel it's too cold to sleep in a bed in winter.
If it is too cold, fill a few bottles with hot water, put them in the quilt, and you will feel warm when you sleep at night.
"Yeah, let's start cleaning up. The sooner we finish cleaning up, the sooner we can rest." Lu Qingyan also felt that what her mother said was right. After saying this, she went into the house and started cleaning up.
"Wife, you guys clean up first. I'll go to the cafeteria to get food first, so that we don't have to cook later." Gu Mingze saw that it was already lunchtime in the cafeteria, so he hurried out with his lunch box to get food, so that he wouldn't be late and miss out on anything.
After Gu Mingze left, Lu Qingyan took a rag, wet it, and wiped everything in the room. After it dried, she put clothes and other things into the closet.
When Gu Mingze came back with the lunch box, they had almost finished cleaning the house. They were just waiting for the truck to deliver their things and then clean up again so that they could move in completely.
When they saw Gu Mingze coming back with the meal, they all washed their hands and prepared to eat.
Just then, someone came to the door: "Is anyone there?"
"Yes, come in." Lu Qingyan heard movement at the door, and hurriedly wiped her hands and walked out to let the person in.
"You are Captain Gu's wife, right? I'm your next-door neighbor. I see you just moved in, and it's already evening, so you must not have had time to eat. I'll send you some of my freshly steamed steamed buns. You can eat some first to fill your stomach."
Li Guilian had been with the army here for a long time. When she saw new neighbors moving next door, she thought that they must have to clean up the house when they first arrived, so she took out some freshly steamed buns and let them fill their stomachs first.
"Thank you, big sister. We just moved here and really don't have time to cook. My Gu Mingze just went to the cafeteria to get food and came back. But I still want to thank you, big sister."
Lu Qingyan didn't expect that as soon as they moved in, someone would show kindness to her, which made her very happy.
After all, it is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Besides, the person gave you steamed buns right when they first came, which shows that they are not the kind of person who would be fussy.
In this way, the two families will be able to get along well with each other in the future.
"It's okay, it's okay, then you guys eat first, I'll come over tomorrow when you're done cleaning up." Li Guilian was just surprised that Captain Gu's wife was so young, and she didn't look like she came from the countryside
She would definitely think that the steamed bun she gave him would be looked down upon, but to her surprise, he not only accepted it but also thanked her happily.
This is quite surprising to me, but as long as the neighbors are good and we can interact with each other in the future, it is better than anything else.
"Okay, then take care, big sister. Come visit me tomorrow." Lu Qingyan took the steamed buns delivered by Li Guilian, smiled as she saw her out the door, and then carried the steamed buns into the house.
"Did the neighbor next door send this?" Mother Lu asked in surprise, looking at the two steamed buns that her daughter could bring into the house.
"Yes, it's our neighbor to the east. He said that since we just moved here, we definitely don't have time to cook, so he sent us some freshly-made steamed buns." Lu Qingyan put the steamed buns on the table and asked everyone to eat together. Then she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I think that big sister is a good person. We can get to know each other appropriately."
"Since they have given me gifts, I will also send some of my own dried vegetables over tomorrow. It is a courtesy to reciprocate. You can't just take other people's things without giving anything in return." Mother Lu nodded and said
"Okay, Mom, you can handle it yourself." Lu Qingyan usually didn't care about these things, and now she handed it over to her mother and didn't care at all.
So after everyone finished eating and cleaned up, they washed up and went back to the house to rest.
I woke up the next morning and started getting busy again.
After all, when you move into a new home, you need to clean everything so that you can live comfortably.
But before we had finished cleaning for long, family members started coming to visit one after another.
But among these family members, except for two individuals, the rest were either jealous of Lu Qingyan or spoke in a sarcastic tone.
This made Lu Qingyan rarely annoyed, but she couldn't open her mouth to chase people away even when she was annoyed. She could only wait until they all left, then she took a deep breath, looked at her mother and said: "People in this city are so cunning. They have to think for a long time before saying anything, otherwise they are afraid that they will say something wrong and make people unhappy."
"We just arrived for a few days. Once we get familiar with the place, we won't have to spoil them." Mother Lu also has a bad temper. If it weren't for the fact that this was their first visit, she would have chased them away.
