The sewing machine is stepped on every day until it is about to spark, but it still works well. Who wouldn’t mutter that the quality of old-fashioned machines is good?
The day before going to the city, Meng Ying finally finished what she was going to do.
She will stop after today. After all, she will be going to the city soon and then to the hospital. When she comes back, she will have to take care of the children and adults. She has no time to do these things.
I cooked a delicious meal in the evening, then went next door and entrusted my house to Wu Xiufang to help take care of it for a few days. Before going to bed, I checked everything again and the whole family went to sleep.
The next day, the weather was nice. The sun, which had not been seen for a few days, came out from behind the clouds, filling the earth with golden light.
Although the family isn’t superstitious, seeing such nice weather makes us feel better.
"Lingling, are you ready? Let's get ready to go!" Meng Ying tied the two chicken wings, tied a rope around its feet, and tied the other end to the bucket.
At the door, Gu Mingjing was acting as a porter, busy loading luggage into the car and walking back and forth in and out of the house.
Jianshu was driven away by several people and was not allowed to get close.
"Okay! We can go now!" Not long after, Zhao Yueling also came out carrying a lot of bags. Her hair was a little messy, and the wind blew gently, and it made her cheeks itchy.
Gu Mingjing loaded the last piece of bedding into the car and dusted off his hands. "Almost done, ready to go!"
Meng Ying checked one last time to see if she had missed anything, then locked the door and walked out, picking up the two chickens at her feet. Zhao Yueling followed behind her, supporting Jian Shu.
"Mingjing, drive slowly, don't be in a hurry." Meng Ying sat in the passenger seat holding two chickens, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. When she saw any big potholes or rocks, she would remind them in advance and kept reminding them.
"Yeah, I know." Gu Mingjing drove very attentively, driving slowly and steadily along the way.
Jianshu didn't feel any bumps while sitting in the back seat, and the baby in her belly was also very well-behaved and didn't show its presence at this time.
He drove to the city and stopped in an alley less than 500 meters away from the hospital.
Gu Mingjing got out of the car, opened the back door and slowly helped Jianshu down.
"Is this the house your comrades helped find?" Meng Ying also got out of the car, looked at the small courtyard in front of her, looked around at the surrounding environment, and nodded silently.
It's good, not in a busy city, and it's comfortable for pregnant women to live in. Most importantly, it's close to the hospital.
Gu Mingjing unlocked the door with his key, pushed it open and walked in. "Yes, this is Old Han's relative's house. Usually no one lives there, so he has been helping to take care of it."
Han Jingshan was a local, and his family was well-known, so he knew a lot of people. Gu Mingjing entrusted him with the task of finding an apartment. Within a few days, he had recommended several houses, and he took the time to visit them all before finally choosing this one.
Although it is not the closest to the hospital nor the most spacious, it has good overall conditions. It is not too far from the hospital and the surroundings are quiet and not noisy, so I can have a good rest.
"Old Han has always hired someone to clean this house. I also cleaned it up briefly when I came last time, but it's definitely not as good as home. I can only live like this for a few days."
Gu Mingjing led a few people into the house. It was obvious that the house was quite old and looked a bit shabby. The newspapers on the wall were yellowed, but it was very clean and it was obvious that it had been carefully cleaned.
Meng Ying followed behind and walked around. Seeing that the tables, chairs, benches and other furniture were all in good condition, the rest was not important.
"This environment is already very good. Your comrade is very thoughtful. You must thank him later." How can you be picky outside? Just be happy to have a clean and hygienic private courtyard to live in.
Besides, the house is just a little old, but the quality of the house is still fine.
Gu Mingjing nodded and said with a smile: "When the moon is full, invite him home to have some fun together."
It’s not easy to hold a full-moon banquet these days, but it’s okay to invite close relatives to have a meal together.
The house is not big, with three rooms in total, but only two of them are habitable. There is no need to allocate anything, it is just like home.
Jianshu and Gu Mingjing lived in the slightly larger room, while Meng Ying and Zhao Yueling lived next door to them.
With only a wall between them, any movement could be quickly discovered. After all, Gu Mingjing couldn't always take leave; he had to go back to training. Jianshu lived alone, so she felt more at ease being close.
"Call me if you have any problem at night. I'll come over when I hear any noise." Meng Ying reminded.
In fact, she originally wanted to sleep with Jianshu, but then she thought that the couple could not be separated, and Gu Mingjing might come in the dark one night, which would be inconvenient.
Fortunately, we are close to each other, so it doesn’t make much difference if we live together.
"Yeah, okay." Jianshu nodded obediently.
With her aunt around, she doesn't have to worry about anything and just listens to whatever her aunt says.
After the room was finally ready, I started moving my luggage into the house and put away some things I needed so that I wouldn't lose them when needed.
Gu Mingjing helped to carry the large and small bags in, Meng Ying took out the quilt and spread it out, Zhao Yueling followed suit and took the initiative, Jianshu ate an apple from a distance, she was a little hungry again.
After working for half an hour, I finally finished cleaning up.
"Are you hungry? I'll go cook!" Meng Ying clapped her hands after finishing her work, and when she looked up, she saw Jianshu eating an apple.
"I'm hungry!" Jian Shu nodded honestly, "I want to eat the chive dumplings you made."
"Okay, I happened to bring a lot of leeks. I'll make it for you." Meng Ying smiled and nodded, her eyes sweeping over the chicken in the corner. "I don't know if raising chickens is allowed here, but even if I could, I couldn't. I have nothing to feed it. I'll kill one and stew it with mushrooms for you later, and save the other one for soup."
She was afraid that she couldn't keep them, so she didn't dare bring more. She probably wouldn't be staying here for many days, so two would be enough.
"Put some vermicelli and rice noodles, I want to eat this!" Jianshu felt greedy and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The vermicelli and rice paper soaked up the broth are so delicious! Served with rice, the two balance out the flavor, neither too salty nor too bland, just right.
"Okay, but you can't eat too much!" Meng Ying agreed but put forward a condition.
There are leek dumplings, vermicelli and rice noodles, so you don’t have to worry about eating too much.
