That day they did not return to Yongxing Street as usual, but stayed in the old house and did not go back to class until the next morning.
Because Xiaojun and Xiaoliang moved to the old house, from that day on, they would go back to the old house every Saturday. On Sundays, Kang Mingyuan went to work at the research institute, and Qiao Mo stayed in the old house to accompany the elderly and children. At the same time, he took the old man's guards and driver to plant the fruit saplings she moved out of the space according to the old lady's plan.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed. Several reports of victory came from the battlefield, and news about Kang's sons and daughters would also be reported back. However, they only reported good news and not bad news. Apart from knowing that they were still alive, no other information was known.
Although the old man and the old lady were worried, they knew that as long as they were alive, there was hope. So as time passed, they were not as anxious as before. The old lady even put all her energy on her two great-grandsons.
During this period, the family housing of the institute was also completed. Kang Mingyuan took the key to the new house, asked someone to paint the walls, and made terrazzo on the floor. After it was left to air for a week, Qiao Moli moved in with Kang Mingyuan on Sunday.
The two-bedroom, one-living room house was much more spacious than the original single room. Qiao Mo turned one of the bedrooms into a study. In addition to moving the desk over, he also added two bookcases. In addition to the dining table and chairs, the living room also added a long sofa, a coffee table and a set of low cabinets. They did not buy new items for the additions, but moved them all from the house on Huaiyang Street.
What makes Qiao Mo most satisfied with the new house is that it has a separate kitchen and bathroom. In the future, she no longer has to cook in the corridor, and whatever she eats can be prepared under people's eyes. With the bathroom, she no longer needs to carefully walk through the entire corridor to take care of things, and she no longer needs to queue up to take a shower.
In order to make it convenient for Kang Mingyuan to take a nap, she made the bed. In order to make the sleep more comfortable, she went to the department store and bought a brown mat to put underneath, and then covered it with a quilt and sheets.
"Wife, it's much better with the coir pad, not much worse than a Simmons mattress." Kang Mingyuan pressed his hand on the bed and nodded with satisfaction. He originally wanted to go to the Friendship Store to buy a Simmons mattress, but after seeing it, Qiao Mo felt that it was too soft and it would be bad for the body to sleep on it for a long time, so he insisted on not buying it.
"It's not as soft as Simmons mattresses. It's just the right level, not too soft and not too hard." Qiao Mo said with a smile. Simmons mattress technology is not yet mature, and sleeping on it is not good for the body. "Starting next week, you won't sleep in the office anymore."
"If you don't come home, it doesn't matter where I sleep." Kang Mingyuan said lightly. He originally thought that he would only come to study for two hours on Sundays like before, but he didn't expect that after only two weeks, Han Ning let him go to work as usual.
At this time, Kang Zhiyuan and his wife went to the battlefield, and their two children were sent to the old house. Qiao Mo could no longer go to the institute because he had to take care of the elderly and children at home. He rarely worked in the hospital, so he ate in the cafeteria at noon and rested in the office.
After a while, the old lady had gotten over her anxiety, and the two children had adapted to life in the old house. Only then did the old man let them go back to Yongxing Street on Sunday afternoon.
"Mingyuan, Qiao Mo, you've worked hard over the past few months. Now the two children have adapted to life here, and your grandmother is not as worried as before. You don't have to worry about home anymore. From now on, you can just pick up Mingyuan and take him back to Yongxing Street after get off work, just like before." The old man said to Qiao Mo and Kang Mingyuan during breakfast that day.
"Grandpa, we're fine." Kang Mingyuan shook his head.
"This is such a waste of time. If you keep going on like this, it will delay your studies." The old man advised.
"The old man is right. It doesn't matter if you stay at your grandparents' house for one night longer or one night less. But if you stay at your grandparents' house for one night longer, you will have to waste a morning and an evening. Plus, you have to go to work on Sundays, and you also have to find time to do the homework assigned by your aunt on weekdays. Others have less time to study, so you can't delay it any longer." The old lady also advised.
