Where Chapter 232 begins
Xu Sui interrupted Qin Yunzhou.
It's one thing to ask someone for help to resolve issues like someone occupying your house.
She really doesn't like to bother others with small things like decorating her new home.
Qin Yunzhou didn't insist. "Alright, if anything happens, remember to contact me. If you can't find me, just call any of the contact numbers on that piece of paper."
"They are all my childhood friends, and now they all work in Beijing."
He wouldn't write down the details of someone he wasn't close to on that note.
Those who were on that note were all people he trusted, and he had helped them a lot in the past.
Especially after his change of identity, people who were previously unclear became clear to him during those days, and the remaining people were all true brothers.
Xu Sui softly hummed in agreement, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Okay, I will."
……
The next few days.
Xu Sui began decorating her new home, having to buy everything from the existing furniture to pots and pans.
If she were alone, she would definitely be exhausted after all that.
Fortunately, I had two helpers by my side.
Grandma Qin went with her to buy these things, and Du Mei helped her take care of the children.
After a few days, the once empty new home was transformed, finally becoming a warm and welcoming place.
Each person's room has a bed and blankets, and the two children also have their own small beds.
To make cooking easier, Xu Sui brought back some bricks, rolled up her sleeves, and personally built a stove and a shed in front of her house.
This job wasn't difficult for her.
In the same courtyard, every household has a stove in front of their door. Just pick any house and carefully observe the structure of its stove.
Children from poor families mature early. When she was young, she modified everything herself to make a living. Not to mention a stove, if she had enough tools and materials, she could have made many more wonderful things.
Grandma Qin had nothing to do when she had some free time.
She moved a small stool and sat under the eaves, watching Xu Sui build the stove, and couldn't help but praise her more and more as she watched.
"Sui Sui, your skills are really good, no less than those men who specialize in this."
Look, it's only been a short time, and it's almost finished.
Xu Sui looked up from the stove that was almost finished, wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiled, and said nothing.
This was actually her first time doing this.
It looked easy, but it still took her some time to finish.
Gao Aifen, who lived in the same courtyard, also came over to watch the commotion. She took a closer look and her gaze towards Xu Sui instantly changed.
"I never expected that someone as delicate and frail as you, with fair and tender skin, who looks like someone who has never done any hard labor, would actually know how to build a stove."
This is a task that is usually done by a professional or by the man in the family; it is very rare for a woman to do it herself.
"This job isn't difficult. If you learn it, you can do it too, sister-in-law." Xu Sui smiled and continued to work hard.
Gao Aifen waved her hand, "Never mind, one is enough for the family."
After saying that, she changed the subject, "Xiao Xu, judging from your appearance, you're probably not married yet, right? How about I introduce you to someone?"
"They have a formal job, a secure job, and a monthly salary of several tens of dollars."
Judging from the incident where she kicked the Ma family out last time, this girl is not just pretty; she also has considerable problem-solving skills. She didn't seem flustered and quickly figured things out, even managing to get rid of the people.
Marrying a girl like that would definitely make her a good wife.
Before Xu Sui could say anything, Old Lady Qin, who was sitting to the side, became anxious.
"Aifen, what are you saying? Suisui is my granddaughter-in-law, not my granddaughter. She already has two children, and those two children are inside the house."
"You forgot? Last time when we were arguing with the Ma family, Sui Sui kept referring to her lover. Weren't you there too? How could you forget that?"
She's the Qin family's granddaughter-in-law; how could they let someone else steal her away?
If Yunzhou comes back and finds his wife gone, he'll hate that old woman to death.
Gao Aifen suddenly remembered and felt a little embarrassed.
Okay, she really did forget.
The main reason is that Xu Sui has a pretty, fair, and tender face. She looks like she's only seventeen or eighteen years old, not like a young wife who has already married and had children.
"Look at my memory, how come it's so bad?"
Everything that needed to be bought for the house has been bought, everything that needed to be replaced has been replaced, and even the stove for cooking has been installed.
In the blink of an eye.
Tomorrow is Xu Sui's first day at Peking University.
That night, all was quiet.
after eating.
Xu Sui called Qin Laotai and Du Mei together and took out several meat coupons, grain coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons, and so on.
She kept some of the food coupons with her, but gave the rest to the old lady, along with twenty yuan for household expenses.
"Grandma, keep these things. I'm going to school tomorrow and won't be home often during the day. If you need anything or anything else, just take these out and use them. If you need more, just let me know."
"You are experienced and know a lot. When I'm not home, we'll have to rely on you to help us out."
When you first move to a new place, there will always be things you haven't considered, and you'll need to buy new things. And buying new things will definitely cost money and require vouchers.
When someone comes to help her with something, she can't possibly let them pay for it and put in the effort.
Looking at all these miscellaneous tickets, including two 100-yuan notes, Old Mrs. Qin thought for a moment and accepted them without hesitation.
"Alright, we're all family, so let's not stand on ceremony."
"Sui Sui, just focus on your studies. Xiao Mei and I will take care of things at home."
She was very satisfied with the house; it was much bigger than the house in her hometown.
In just a few days in Beijing, she quite liked her life here. There was a large park right outside the alley, and nearby were large department stores, cinemas…
It was bustling and lively, and everything was readily available.
I can go out for walks and stroll around when I have nothing to do, chat with people, and have my family around. It's a really comfortable life.
Du Mei nodded, "Don't worry, cousin-in-law, Grandma and I will take good care of this family."
"Just focus on your studies."
She was quite envious of her cousin-in-law. Such a prestigious university, and her cousin-in-law got in just like that. When the news came out, it shocked the entire Qin family.
"Grandma, Xiaomei, thank you. When I have time during my vacation, I'll take you out for a stroll."
……
Before you knew it, it was dawn.
Early in the morning.
Xu Sui ate a simple breakfast, which was porridge cooked by an old lady and a few boiled eggs. Then she took a cloth bag and went to Peking University to register.
It only takes about ten minutes to walk to the school gate.
Their household registrations are currently in Beijing, although they are only temporary. They can still receive a monthly ration of grain. Of course, it's not comparable to that of regular Beijing residents. If they want enough grain, they have to spend extra money each month to buy some more expensive grain.
Even so, life was still better than in that small county town of Fengyang.
Qin Yunzhou receives a monthly allowance of over 114 yuan. Xu Sui, who attends university, receives a monthly subsidy of 15 yuan and a fixed amount of food rations. After starting university, she eats most of her meals at the school.
All things considered, supporting such a family isn't too difficult.
