Chapter 271 Return
For a moment she was speechless, unable to hold back, she quickly lowered her head and left.
It looked exactly like something was chasing her from behind.
Grandma Qin happened to see this scene. She smiled, and Du Mei, who was next to her, saw her smile and looked in the direction of the old lady's gaze, but she didn't see anything.
"Grandma, what are you looking at? Why are you suddenly laughing?"
"It's nothing, we just saw a madman. Let's go." The old lady pulled Du Mei along and quickly followed.
This unit is huge, and it's their first time here, so they don't know where they are. It would be bad if they got lost.
Du Mei was a little confused. She looked around but didn't see the madman that Old Lady Qin had mentioned.
Are there crazy people in the military?
Soon, Qin Yunzhou led Xu Sui and the others to the family compound.
Xu Sui was familiar with this place; she and Qin Yunzhou had lived here for a while, except that they used to live in a cramped tenement building with many people.
Living in an apartment building now is better than living in a tenement building; at least it's not as crowded.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou, along with their families, had only been in the residential compound for a short time when they gradually attracted the attention of many people, with most of their eyes falling on Xu Sui.
It's been more than five years since I last came back. Over the years, many families have moved into the residential compound, but some people still live here and have even seen Xu Sui.
They also knew about the relationship between Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou.
Immediately, people started gossiping about it, and soon the news spread throughout the entire residential compound, especially among those who knew Xu Sui before, who couldn't help but gossip.
Back then, everyone knew that Xu Sui had a terrible reputation in the military, especially because of her affair with Qin Yunzhou, which caused her reputation to plummet.
During that period, when people talked about bad women, the first person that came to mind for most people was Xu Sui. Some people even privately called her a vixen who specialized in seducing men, saying that she only knew how to seduce men because of her pretty face.
Many years have passed, and many people still bring up this incident and remember Xu Sui's beautiful and alluring face.
Surprisingly, after all this time, this person hasn't become uglier or older because of marriage and childbirth; on the contrary, she's become even more beautiful.
Soon, Qin Yunzhou brought Xu Sui to their new home.
Considering the old lady's age, Qin Yunzhou chose a lower floor when selecting a house. He originally wanted to choose the first floor, where there would be a small yard where he could grow things.
Unfortunately, the first floor was in high demand because it came with a small plot of land where you could grow vegetables, so I couldn't get one and ended up having to choose the second floor.
They took out their keys, opened the door, and the whole family couldn't wait to get up and look around.
Xu Sui looked up and surveyed the room. The 70-80 square meter room had been converted into a 3-bedroom, 1-living room apartment. Their home in Beijing was actually about the same size, and the room was big enough for them.
There is no kitchen or separate toilet.
Xu Sui looked around the room, but Qin Yunzhou's gaze remained fixed on her, hardly ever leaving her.
He stayed by her side the whole time. "The toilets are public toilets, there are on every floor, they're located on the side of each floor."
"As for the kitchen, there is a large communal kitchen in the middle of the corridor where every household cooks at mealtimes."
Although it's called an apartment building, it's actually similar to a tenement building, but the living space is larger and more spacious than that of a tenement building.
The reason why ordinary family members cannot move into this building is because Qin Yunzhou has been making meritorious contributions in recent years and has completed his tasks exceptionally well. In addition, it is time for him to be promoted in a while.
That's why I was able to get such a spacious room.
Xu Sui nodded. "Yes, it's fine."
The old dormitory building I was assigned to is much better; at least this place is spacious and well-lit.
Grandma Qin looked around, beaming from ear to ear, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
"This house is nice, this house is good, it's similar to our old one."
I was worried that it wouldn't be big enough, but now I don't have to worry about that anymore.
There isn't much furniture, but it's okay, we can add more later. There are only a few beds and a few cabinets, nothing else.
"Daddy, will we live here from now on?" Yao Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and looked around.
This place is clearly not as nice as the previous home. There aren't as many supply and marketing cooperatives or small shops around, and it's even muddy everywhere, so you can easily get your skirt dirty.
But here are my mom and dad, my brother, my great-grandmother, and my aunt.
After inspecting the house, the family worked together to clean it.
Qin Yunzhou specially borrowed some cleaning tools. With more tools, the whole house was cleaned spotless in just two hours.
After tidying up the house, he wiped his hands and was about to say something:
"Grandma, this room is a little bigger. You and Xiaomei can live in this room from now on."
"The other room is a little smaller, for Yan Yan and Yao Yao, the brother and sister."
The two children are only four years old now, still very young, so it's fine for them to live together.
We'll separate the siblings when they're older.
Grandma Qin nodded, "Alright, Xiaomei and I will stay in this room."
Qin Yunzhou looked at Xu Sui and paused, "Because we moved in in a hurry, there are still some things we haven't fully prepared."
"I should have a month-long vacation soon, so I can stay at home. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll take care of it."
"The pots and pans we bought before are still in my dorm and haven't been moved over yet. I'll go over there later and move them all over."
Xu Sui's eyes lit up. "Really?"
She originally thought that he would be busy again in a few days, but she didn't expect that he would have a month's vacation and could stay at home with her and the children.
"Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be staying home for the next month." Last year during the Spring Festival, Qin Yunzhou had considered going to Beijing to see his mother and two children.
But we haven't been able to find the time. Now that the mother and her two children have finally come over, we should at least spend some quality time with them.
Besides, they had just moved to a new house and there were still many things to do. Most of the family members were elderly people and children, and Xu Sui couldn't manage it all by herself.
Xu Sui immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling, "It's fine."
The family of four had finally reunited, and she didn't want to be separated from him so soon.
Old Mrs. Qin, being an experienced woman, saw the young couple chatting after their long separation and quickly pulled the two children along, also calling Du Mei to join them, and went to the next room.
They were not allowed to disturb the young couple as they chatted and reminisced.
In the next room.
Grandma Qin pulled Du Mei up and down and looked her over. She was about 1.6 meters tall, with fair skin and a pretty face. At twenty years old, she might be considered an old maid in the countryside, but in the city, she was pretty much the same age.
She is at the perfect age to get married.
