Rebirth and Raising a Baby

Because the room hadn't been cleaned, Lin Ling and Chu Yi sat in the corridor on the second floor to rest.

Just able to see the scene on the first floor.

I have to say that this so-called hotel is really quiet
Lin Ling doubted whether there was anyone living there.

Could it be that they are the only residents?

With this doubt in mind, time passed by.

The proprietress was in and out, busy all the time.

Seeing that it was almost evening, she started making dinner again.

"Oh, sir and wife, do you want to try my handicraft?"

The proprietress enthusiastically recommends it.

The little boy next to him also nodded vigorously: "My grandma is very good at crafting."

Lin Ling probed and took a look.

I didn't see clearly what kind of dishes the proprietress was cooking.

He and Chu Yi looked at each other.

The two put down their suitcases and went to the first floor.

There was a smell of oily smoke in the air, and a strange smell.

Sweet and sour.

As we got closer, we could clearly see the dishes on the table.

The strange thing is that there are only the proprietress and a little boy, but she has cooked a lot of dishes, and the portions are still very large.

"Miss Boss, you cook so much? Can you finish it?"

Lin Ling was full of doubts.

Could there be someone else in the room they couldn't see?
When I think about it this way, I suddenly feel a little hairy.

"Enough!"

The proprietress waved nonchalantly.

"Those starving ghosts, if you don't eat early, you'll even lick the bowl clean later!"

Lin Ling's eyes widened, and her neck subconsciously shrank back.

Really. So what?

I heard that some people in Hong Kong City are superstitious and pay attention to Feng Shui. Could it be that they
Too bad, she and Chu Yi wouldn't just explain it here, would they?

"Miss Boss, since it's for ghosts and gods, it's not easy for us to snatch it, right?"

Lin Ling said angrily.

If she annoyed those invisible things, her life would be lost!

The proprietress was taken aback for a moment.

"spirits?"

"You still believe in this?"

This is a strange thing to say.

"Didn't you say that someone starved to death?"

Lin Ling was terrified, fearing that something might be wrong and offend the mysterious thing.

"Oh, you think too much!"

The proprietress waved her hand and explained helplessly: "The starving ghosts I'm talking about are my group of tenants. They have gone out to work and will be back later."

"If you want to eat, you have to hurry up, or they will grab it all when they come!"

The little boy next to him covered his mouth and sneered.

This said.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi were dubious.

Watching the little boy pick up the plate and start to pack the food, they finally had the courage to pick up the food.

A pot of sweet and sour pork, a pot of water spinach, a pot of fried kale, a pot of fish balls, and a pot of sweet and sour poached eggs.

Lin Ling made a little of everything.

Mainly because I don’t know if it’s good or not.

It is better to have less pinches than waste.

It's been an afternoon, it's okay if I didn't see it, but now I saw something to eat, and my stomach immediately felt hungry and growled.

The sweet and sour poached eggs are the best.

The edges are slightly burnt, the taste is crunchy, and the sweet and sour taste is very appetizing.

As for the sweet and sour pork, it is more ordinary.

The taste is okay, but the flour is more than the meat, so it doesn't taste much.

It should be for cost-saving reasons.

The water spinach is only added with a little soy sauce, which tastes very fresh.

When we were about to finish eating, someone finally came.

He was a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and thin, and his hands were still wet.

As soon as you enter the house, go straight to the dining table in the hall.

Seeing the two of them froze for a moment.

"newcomer?"

The young man asked tentatively.

Chu Yi thought about it for a while, then nodded his head.

"Looks good, keep it up!"

The young man gave a sound of encouragement, and went to get a plate to cook.

I took three scoops of rice in one go, followed by egg and meat dishes.
Although a lot of rice is beaten, but when making vegetables, it is still very restrained.

The young man found a seat and sat down, facing the little boy.

Maybe because he was in a good mood, he spoke again.

"Are they husband and wife? Where do they live?"

"Ok!"

The little boy nodded, showing an innocent smile, "The second floor, the room next to yours!"

"Fuck!" The young man spat, "It's really rich!"

"What, you hate the rich?"

The proprietress came over just in time to hear this sentence, and immediately interrupted him.

"How dare I!"

The young man looked up at her and smiled flatteringly.

"Hmph, it's better not to dare!"

"After a lot of trouble, a couple of rich tenants came here. If you dare to cause trouble, I will drive you away first!"

This is not polite at all.

Even Lin Ling and Chu Yi felt embarrassed when they heard it.

He didn't dare to make a sound at all.

The young man just smiled and didn't protest at all.

After suppressing the young man's arrogance, the proprietress left with satisfaction.

Waist swaying, very proud.

The young man bowed his head and sighed.

"Brother Awen, hurry up and get rich, so you don't have to live with us!"

The little boy encouraged him.

The young man called Brother Awen stretched out his hand and scratched his nose, and said, "You want to be pretty!"

"Do you think you can move into my room because I'm gone?"

"Dream!"

"I'm going to stay here forever!"

In the end, there was a hint of pride in his tone.

"Ah, so angry!"

The little boy sighed in frustration.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi looked at each other.

They are a little curious about each other.

The proprietress here seems to have a strange relationship with the tenants!
It didn't take long.

The people in the building came back one after another.

It was beyond Lin Ling's expectation.

There are not only people living in the building, but also many people!

Roughly counted, there are more than a dozen people.

Among them, there are seven or eight young and strong men, some middle-aged men, and a few gray-haired old men.

There are also women's words, most of which are couples.

There are only four, all young and middle-aged.

There are five or six children.

No wonder the proprietress told them to eat quickly, otherwise they really couldn't grab these people.

Now she finally understands why the proprietress puts all the dishes in pots
Lin Ling finished eating, and went upstairs with Chu Yi.

"Awen, you and Aqiang, move the furniture on the second floor!"

"Where are you going?"

Awen didn't resist, and asked naturally.

"Put it in the room on the third floor first!"

The proprietress thought for a while and gave such an answer.

"Then you have to take the stairs!"

Another little guy muttered.

"Hey, you dead Aqiang, what's wrong with doing some work after eating my food?"

The proprietress stared at him in a bad tone, with her hands on her hips.

If there is a disagreement, they will start scolding.

There is a posture to get started.

"How dare I!"

Ah Qiang soon gave up.

"Miss Boss, do you have to move all the furniture?"

Awen confirmed again.

"Correct!"

"Then where do they sleep?"

Awen was curious.

How can anyone rent a house without any furniture?
Do you sleep on the floor?
Are rich people's hobbies so strange?

"You take care of others!"

"Who knows about the rich!"

The proprietress spat at him and hurried away.

Watching several young men take away the things in the house one after another and carry them up the stairs.

The room was being emptied little by little.

Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you!"

Lin Ling thanked with a smile, took out a few apples from the suitcase, and shared one with each of them.

Seeing the little boy watching the excitement, he hesitated a little, and took one for him.

"Short boy, you are in our favor!"

Awen laughed and joked.

Sweat slid from his forehead, bringing out a little luster.

"This is my guest, you are the ones who have been honored by me!"

The little boy refused to admit defeat at all, and retorted proudly.

"Oh, then you can be regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!"

Ah Qiang pretended to be exaggerated.

Full of sarcasm!
"It doesn't matter if he is a rat or a rat, as long as he can catch rats, he is a good cat!"

The dwarf was not ashamed at all.

He has already decided that he will go to the pier tomorrow to continue squatting!
As for making soy sauce, let grandma do it herself!
He is a man who wants to make a lot of money!

The room was emptied.

Chu Yi bought a mop and bucket from a nearby convenience store and started cleaning.

Residents in the building gathered around the door to watch the excitement.

Without any scruples, the discussion started on the spot.

"Oh, this big man is quite particular, and he likes to rent a house so clean!"

"Where did his wife go?"

"Aren't all women working? Why is his family turned around?"

"Oh, Lai Lao San, you are really ignorant, such a beautiful woman, how can a man be willing to let her work!"

"A man like you who doesn't know how to be sympathetic to others, deserves to be a bachelor all his life!"

"You're just talking nonsense. I don't want to find a woman. What's so good about a woman is that she only spends money." Lao Lai Sanqiang retorted.

"Yes, yes, you don't want to find a woman, and you don't know who was talking in your sleep in the middle of the night last time, and kept calling Xiaoyu's name there."

Then the crowd roared with laughter.

Lai Laosan stamped his feet angrily, turned his head and left.

Everyone has seen it and left.

Chu Yi continued to be busy.

The whole house was cleaned, and then I borrowed two fans from the proprietress, turned them on to the maximum wind, and blew wildly in the house.

It didn't take long for the floor to dry.

The air in the house is also much fresher.

No matter how clean it is, a room that has been closed for a long time will still have a smell.

Chu Yi got used to it just now, but now he smells the fresh air and feels like he's come alive.

I can't help but rejoice.

Fortunately, the daughter-in-law asked him to do the cleaning, otherwise, wouldn't they have to breathe stale air for half a year?

at this time.

Lin Ling was already at the gate downstairs.

As soon as he took a breath, he saw Awen coming down the stairs.

"Awen, do me a favor!"

Lin Ling beckoned.

"What are you busy with?"

Awen held a washbasin and a towel in his hand, and was about to take a shower when he saw her calling him, so he walked over.

"How about asking a few people to help move my things and give you 50 yuan?"

Lin Ling pointed to something on the ground.

The furniture she brought out from the space took a lot of effort in order to find a good time to take it out.

He ran out specially, got the things out, and spent money to ask someone to move them over.
Awen hesitated, and licked his lips.

"Fifty yuan is not enough, is it sixty?"

Lin Ling originally thought that he was going to refuse, but Ah Wen's hesitation was just to bargain.

Even if the price was bargained, it only increased by ten yuan.

Lin Ling was somewhat speechless.

Seeing her expression, Ah Wen thought she was unhappy.

Quickly changed.

"Fifty is fine!"

"I'm going to call someone!"

After speaking, as if he was afraid that Lin Ling would go back on his word, he immediately rushed in to call for someone.

After a while, Aqiang and those young men were called over.

These things are all new, wrapped in cardboard around the corners.

Lin Ling made plans early in the morning.

A 1.5m white steel lacquered bed with a mattress of the same size.

There are two orange round tea tables, one large and one small.

There is also a 1.5-meter couch.

There is also a 1.2-meter white steel-lacquered desk and floor-to-ceiling clothes racks.

It seems to be no different from the original furniture.

All those functions.

"Miss Lin, in fact, you don't need to buy it yourself, the proprietress' things are also very clean!"

Ah Wen felt that he was a little familiar, and felt that it was not worth it for her.

"Your things look quite new, even if you go to the second-hand market to buy them, it will cost a lot of money!"

Lin Ling smiled and said nothing.

If she's only staying for ten days and a half months, she doesn't care.

But she plans to live here for more than half a year, the living experience is very important!

These things seem to be expensive, but they are not expensive when diluted to every day.

The position of the furniture has been changed.

The steel lacquer bed was moved to the direction close to the balcony, so that the light can just reach the end of the bed.

A small orange-yellow double-decker coffee table is placed near the head of the bed as a nightstand.

Floor hangers are placed on the left side of the bed.

When the time comes, you can get your clothes and change directly after you wake up.

The sofa is placed opposite to the left side of the bed, and the coffee table is placed on the left side.

The steel-lacquered desk is placed opposite the sofa, leaning against the wall on the balcony side.

Such things are basically against the wall, and the space in the room is suddenly much larger.

And the colors chosen are brighter and bolder.

There was no difference.

At most, the style and color of the furniture are a little novel.

But after the arrangements were made, the young men were silent.

"It seems to be a little different!"

Awen scratched the back of his head, feeling a little puzzled.

The size and layout of this house is the most expensive in the entire building. They all dream that one day they will be rich and move into this house.

So I didn't take a peek.

They can be said to be more familiar with the things in the house than the proprietress.

But now, the same thing, the effect is completely different.

"This house is more pleasing than before!"

Ah Qiang grumbled.

"Wake up, it costs money to be pleasing!"

A middle-aged man next to them woke up the fantasy of the two.

Don't even look at it, even if they can afford the rent for this room, they are reluctant to spend so much money to buy furniture themselves!
"Isn't it okay to have a dream?"

Ah Qiang was dissatisfied and muttered.

Arwen smiled, "Miss Lin, let's go then!"

Lin Ling looked at her in surprise.

Awen winked at her.

Lin Ling swallowed what he didn't say.

He watched Awen drag a few young men downstairs, laughing and joking.

"what happened?"

Chu Yi asked suspiciously.

Lin Ling shook her head.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ling and Chu Yi were lying on the sofa chatting.

The door was knocked.

Chu Yi sat up straight all of a sudden.

Lin Ling held him down and opened the door to have a look.

It's Awen.

"that."

Ah Wen hesitated to speak, and kept rubbing his fingers.

"This is the reward we agreed upon!"

Lin Ling smiled, and gave the agreed money to Ah Wen.

Awen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

After thanking him again and again, he walked back to the next room lightly.
