[Chapter 305 Chapter 305 A Body of Iron]
The family compound is a small world of its own.
In this small world, news usually doesn't stay overnight.
Not to mention that this is news that everyone is concerned about.
So, without Shen Yuyao knowing, the rumor that "the new woman who moved into Room 219 is not ordinary" had spread throughout the entire compound.
The spread of this news allowed Shen Yuyao to live a relatively quiet life.
Cheng Liyan went to work in the new unit on the day he reported for duty and did not even have time to come back.
I still arrived at the office and asked the service attendant to come back and pick up my luggage.
She was gone for more than half a month, and only mother and son were left at home.
This morning, Shen Yuyao got up early.
Although she has moved here for half a month, Shen Yuyao still can't get used to washing her face and brushing her teeth with everyone else in the public bathroom.
So, she now usually cleans up her personal hygiene in the space.
After washing up, she came out of the space, opened the window to get some fresh air, and then changed Xiaoyi's diaper.
While I was busy, there was a knock on the door: "Auntie Shen, Auntie Shen, are you up?"
"Get up." Shen Yuyao quickly pulled her clothes, walked out quickly and opened the door.
Chen Bing was standing outside the house and grinned when he saw her.
Then she handed over a basin and said proudly, "Auntie Shen, this is the pumpkin we bought yesterday. It's freshly steamed and very sweet! Eat it quickly while it's still hot! Grandpa said Xiaoyi can have some, too."
Shen Yuyao didn't bother to be polite with him. She took the bowl with a smile and asked, "Have you all eaten?"
"I ate them all."
Chen Bing pointed to a backpack on the ground next to him and said, "We are all ready to go."
"Wait a moment." Shen Yuyao turned and went back to the house.
She first put the basin on the table, then went to the newly bought small coal stove to get a lunch box, walked back to the door and handed it to Chen Bing.
"Here are some leftover corn tortillas from yesterday. Take them for lunch."
"No, we've prepared dinner." Chen Bing quickly refused.
Because of embarrassment, her little face turned slightly red.
He knew that what Auntie Shen gave them were not leftover corn cakes at all, they were specially prepared by Auntie for them.
It is said to be cornmeal, but it contains much more white flour than cornmeal, and there are chopped red dates mixed in the flour.
My brother said that this lunch box of pancakes could use up all of aunt’s fine food for half a month.
Thinking about what his brother had specifically told him before, Chen Bing was so anxious that sweat started to appear on the tip of his nose.
Seeing that he couldn't push it back, Chen Bing suddenly bent down and tried to squeeze under Shen Yuyao's arm into the house like a loach, but was grabbed by the back of the neck.
Shen Yuyao felt both amused and annoyed when she dragged Chen Bing out of the house.
She reached out and pressed the little guy's head: "Okay, let's go, why are you being so polite to me?"
"What are you doing!"
As soon as Shen Yuyao finished speaking, she felt something was wrong with her subordinates.
Chen Bing, who was soft just now, suddenly tensed up at this moment.
He shouted loudly, broke free from Shen Yuyao's hands, and rushed towards the woman who was standing at his door and peeping inside!
"Hey, what are you yelling for, little kid? You're scaring people to death, don't you know that?"
Chen Bing's voice startled the woman.
She took two steps back, then patted her chest and said to Chen Bing angrily.
Shen Yuyao's face also turned cold.
The woman standing at the door is Yang Chunni, Li Gen's mother.
Ever since the incident that day, Wang Jinzhi and Li Gen were obviously frightened. They basically avoided Shen Yuyao whenever they saw her these days.
Even when going to the bathroom and having to pass by the Shen family's door, he would subconsciously speed up his pace.
Only Yang Chunni is different.
I don’t know what this woman is thinking, but she seems to be particularly interested in the two new neighbors.
She wasn't as unreasonable as her mother-in-law, but she would always peek into the house every time she passed by the door.
He seems to be very concerned about every move of his family members.
This feeling of having eyes behind you at all times and being watched all the time makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
"What are you looking at standing at our door? What's so good about our house?" Chen Bing's voice attracted all the children in the house.
Chen Xing stood in front of his brother and looked at Yang Chunni coldly.
Chen Xing is fourteen years old this year. He has grown taller and is now almost 1.7 meters tall.
Although he said nothing, just standing there coldly, he already looked quite imposing.
Surrounded by several people, Yang Chunni also lost her temper.
She clenched the basin in her hand and explained awkwardly, "I'm just passing through here. Can't I even pass through here? Why are you guys so overbearing?"
As she spoke, she hurried forward.
Chen Xing and the others did not block her way. They all stood where they were and watched coldly as her back disappeared at the entrance of the corridor.
After Yang Chunni returned to the house, Chen Bing handed the lunch box in his arms to his brother: "Brother, Auntie Shen insisted on giving it to me."
Without waiting for Chen Xing to speak again, Shen Yuyao waved her hand and said, "If you want to leave, leave quickly. Xiaoyi is still alone in the room. I won't talk to you anymore."
By the way, where is Nian Nian? Don’t take Nian Nian with you, send him here to me.”
"Niannian is downstairs with Grandpa and Brother Siqin." Chen Xing explained.
"Okay then, let's go." Shen Yuyao said and walked into the house.
After Cheng Liyan learned that his wife was almost bullied because of cooking that day, he went out in the afternoon and bought two small coal stoves.
This coal stove is small and has a handle, so it can be placed in the house.
Although the flame of this stove is small and it is a bit troublesome to use it to cook, the couple knows that they don't cook very often, so having such a stove is enough.
In addition to the stove, Cheng Liyan also bought a lot of necessary things for both families.
The purchase of these things was nothing for the young couple, but it became a burden for Dr. Gu's family.
Their savings are running low.
In fact, it is easy to imagine that Dr. Gu's life was already very difficult as he had to raise so many children alone. Their lives became a little better after they went to the scrap yard.
But they only stayed at the scrap yard for a little over a year in total. How much money could they save?
Not to mention that when those revolutionary young men went to capture Dr. Gu, they also stole a lot of things from the house.
So, they really have no money.
A few days ago, Song Wenli's husband, Master Feng, found a way to get back a few poplar boards.
Although it’s not much, it’s enough to make a few single beds.
These days, Doctor Gu and Siqin were making beds in the open space downstairs, while Chen Xing took his younger brothers and went out every day with baskets and bags on their backs to pick up waste.
Shen Yuyao tried to dissuade them at first, but seeing that the children insisted, she stopped talking.
These children, who are raised by Doctor Gu, are young but have strong bodies.
