Chapter 68 A Good Neighbor's New Beginning

Chen Chunya was very sensible and comforted her mother-in-law instead.

She had always had difficulty conceiving. When she gave birth to Junbao, she had to take a lot of tonics and gradually adjust her body to recover.

After giving birth to Junbao, she wanted to have a second child, but she couldn't get pregnant.

I've seen many doctors, but none of them could help me.

Let her take her own time.

Chen Chunya actually knew that "letting nature take its course" meant it would be difficult to get pregnant.

"It's okay, it'll be alright."

Grandma Song held her daughter-in-law's hand and gently comforted her.

Chen Chunya smiled and said, "Yes."

The next morning, Lu Xiao got up early, made noodles, and ate with the four elders.

Qiao Nian hasn't gotten up yet.

"Mom, you wait at home for Niannian to wake up. Dad and I will take Uncle and Aunt to the hospital's staff quarters and also take Dad to visit the school."

Lu Xiao said to Nian Yunci.

Nian Yunci nodded and agreed, "Go ahead."

"I'll take care of Niannian at home, don't worry."

After saying that, she took Wang Xueqin's hand and told her to come over to her house to play whenever she had time.

"Good, good, good."

Wang Xueqin's eyes were filled with a smile, and she looked much more relaxed.

Now that she has a new life and new hopes, her spirits are noticeably different.

Hmm, how should I describe it specifically?
It's probably like that saying, "When people have a happy occasion, they feel refreshed and in high spirits."

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

Nian Yunci smiled and said goodbye to Wang Xueqin and Li Ruihua, telling them to come over to her house whenever they had time.

Lu Xiao led the three away.

Nian Yunci went back inside.

She washed all the clothes and luggage she had brought and hung them to dry in the backyard.

After hanging up the clothes, she looked at the empty space in the backyard. Seeing that the weather was nice, she decided to find some vegetable seeds to plant.

"Hey girl, hey girl."

The voice of Old Mrs. Song came from the front yard. Nian Yunci looked up and saw that it was the kind old lady next door.

I learned from my son-in-law that Song Ming next door was his partner, and that his whole family were very nice people.

Therefore, when Nian Yunci saw Old Madam Song, she quickly walked to the door with a smile.

"The gate is open, just push it open."

She opened the courtyard gate with a smile.

He was very polite in his speech.

Grandma Song smiled and said, "We're all neighbors, no need to be so polite. I'm a bit older than you, so if you don't mind, just call me 'sister'."

"By the way, my maiden name is Wang, you can just call me Sister Wang."

“Okay, Sister Wang, my name is Nian Yunci. Please come in and sit down.”

Nian Yunci gave her name and then welcomed Old Madam Song into the courtyard, inviting her to sit inside.

Old Mrs. Song came to talk to Nian Yunci, so naturally she wouldn't just say a few words at the door and leave it at that.

She was carrying a basket filled with potatoes.

These potatoes were grown on their own land.

Potatoes of roughly the same size have very smooth surfaces.

It's obvious that they were carefully selected before being delivered.

Above the potatoes, there was a small bag containing peanuts, which were also grown by their family.

There were quite a few peanuts, about three pounds.

"There's nothing else of value at home, just some potatoes and a handful of peanuts that I planted before. Please accept these to add to your meal."

The old lady handed the basket to Nian Yunci.

This made Nian Yunci very embarrassed.

"This...this is too valuable..."

With everyone struggling to find food, these ten or twenty pounds of potatoes could feed a family for ten to fifteen days. Not to mention the precious peanuts.

Nian Yunci didn't dare to accept it for a moment.

Grandma Song smiled and told her not to be so polite.

Song Ming and Lu Xiao are partners, and their families are neighbors. They'll be visiting each other a lot in the future. Now that they've just settled down, it's only right that she brings them some potatoes.

"I don't have anything else to offer, these are all grown on my own land, and they're not expensive."

In fact, it's normal for families in residential compounds to bring home some of their own crops when new family members come to visit, whether they are close friends or neighbors.

After thinking about it, Nian Yunci understood the reasoning.

When they grow some vegetables, we'll send some over to the neighbors too.

"Then I'll shamelessly accept it."

Nian Yunci accepted the gifts, took them to the kitchen, cleared out the basket, and placed it aside.

She poured a glass of sugar water and brought it out for Old Mrs. Song to drink.

Grandma Song looked at the brown sugar water and waved her hand repeatedly, telling Nian Yunci to take it back; she wouldn't drink it.

Even though Grandma Song has a retirement pension, she still knows the value of brown sugar water.

Normally, she won't drink it unless she's sick or in pain.

Nian Yunci had already prepared the brown sugar water, so there was no reason for Old Lady Song to refuse.

"Sister, you're too kind. I can't accept the peanuts and potatoes you brought."

"Hey, girl, what's wrong with you...?"

"Sister, please don't stand on ceremony with me. Please sit down and have some water. I'd like to ask you about how the land will be divided."

Nian Yunci started a conversation with Old Lady Song.

Old Mrs. Song came last year, so she is definitely more familiar with the family compound than Nian Yunci.

The reason I came here today, besides getting to know Nian Yunci, was that if she didn't understand something, she could ask me.

Therefore, as soon as Nian Yunci asked, she immediately told him everything she knew.

Nian Yunci listened very attentively.

At the hospital's family compound, Lu Xiao led Li Ruihua and the others to the apartment they had been allocated.

"Uncle, Aunt, the hospital leaders took into account that it would be inconvenient for you to go up and down the stairs, so they arranged for you to stay on the first floor."

Lu Xiao pushed open the door to the first floor, which had a small courtyard, and let Li Ruihua and the others in.

“There is running water in this yard, a small toilet, a kitchen, and two other rooms.”

This building has three floors, but the entrances on the first, second, and third floors are different.

The stairs to the second and third floors are at the back; go up from the back.

Therefore, the first floor can also be considered an independent space.

Wang Xueqin, who had lived in the village for several years, had tears welling up in her eyes when she saw the cement slab courtyard and house again.

"Auntie, let's go inside and take a look."

Lu Xiao spoke up.

Wang Xueqin wiped her eyes. "Okay, okay, let's go in and take a look."

Li Ruihua and Wang Xueqin walked around the house and found it very clean.

"Xiao Lu came early to tidy up, thank you for your hard work."

Both husband and wife knew that Lu Xiao was definitely responsible for keeping the yard so clean.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Of course."

Qiao Guowen looked around the two rooms and then at the small but well-equipped kitchen. He nodded in satisfaction.

His old friend's accommodations have improved, and he's relieved.

A short while later, someone knocked on their courtyard gate.

He is the head of the orthopedics department next door.

He is about the same age as Li Ruihua. He has been working in the military hospital since he was young, and he is still working in the local hospital now.

Seeing that someone had come to the courtyard, he made a point of coming over to greet them.

"Director Luo."

When Lu Xiao saw Luo Shengqiang, he greeted him first.

Luo Shengqiang smiled and asked Lu Xiao, "Which of these two is Comrade Li?"
