There are only two livable rooms in Tang Banxia's house.

It would be possible for Xiang Qing and her daughter to live there comfortably. They could just divide the rooms roughly, one for men and one for women.

But Wen Mubai refused to do so, insisting that nothing could separate him from his wife.

They couldn't leave Xiang Qing and her daughter at their grandparents' house. After all, they couldn't ask their elders to entertain guests for them.

The hosts were my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

In this case, the two sons could only be left with their grandparents.

Fortunately, the two children are easy to take care of and are familiar with their great-grandparents, so it’s no problem for them to stay for a few days.

In this way, Tang Banxia drove Zhou Wanwan, Wen Mubai drove Xiang Qing back home, and Comrade Xiao Niu followed behind.

There was no other way. Xiang Qing and Zhou Wanwan didn't know Tang Banxia's identity, and they didn't want to let them know for the time being, so they had to resort to this last resort.

We arrived home in silence.

Tang Banxia went into the west room first, put away the bedding under the bunk bed and replaced it with clean bedding.

She took out two more of her pajamas and gave them to the mother and daughter: "Mom, Wanwan, these are my clothes, but they are clean. Xiaobai has boiled some hot water. You have been traveling all day, so wash up and go to bed early."

Zhou Wanwan sneezed: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

She hesitated, but said nothing.

Xiang Qing brought it up instead: "Banxia, ​​do you have any extra quilts? Wanwan is afraid of the cold, and Beijing is too cold."

When she was in Shanghai, Zhou Wanwan used to cover herself with a quilt weighing six kilograms every winter.

"Of course, wait a minute."

Tang Banxia went to the east room and took out two more quilts from the cupboard: "These two quilts are a little thin, but they are enough."

After thinking for a while, she explained: "There is a floor heating system at home. It won't be cold when it is turned on."

"Earth dragon?" Xiang Qing is a native southerner and is unfamiliar with the existence of earth dragons.

Tang Banxia explained to her: "There are gaps between the walls and the floor of the house. Xiaobai is boiling water. It will be warm when the water boils."

The existence of ground dragons is comparable to the heating in later generations, but it is much more convenient to use than the heating in later generations.

After all, the heater is just a layer of water pipes under the floor tiles to maintain the temperature, but if you want, you can make two layers on all four walls.

It’s just that ground dragons are expensive and ordinary people can’t afford them.

This is also the reason why Wen Mubai chose this small courtyard.

Xiang Qing and Zhou Wanwan listened with great interest.

Tang Banxia didn't say much, just said: "You will know in a while."

She then introduced the functions of each room in the house to the two of them, then said goodbye and left.

After she left, Xiang Qing's forced polite smile faded. She glanced at the tidy house and opened her suitcase: "Let's do this for now."

Zhou Wanwan: "Mom, are we really not going to tell Dad?"

Xiang Qing's gentle voice sounded: "When I came here, Mom left a message for Dad. Didn't you also clamor to meet your brother and sister-in-law? This time, Mom will take you to stay here for a few more days so that you can get along well with your brother and sister-in-law."

Fear flashed across Zhou Wanwan's big eyes: "But I still have to go to school."

She is eleven years old and in fourth grade.

Xiang Qing took out some clothes from the wicker box: "It's okay, mom will teach you during this time."

She also attended a girls' middle school, so the fourth grade content was more than enough for her.

Zhou Wanwan bit her lip, her eyes instantly reddened, but she lowered her head and didn't dare let her mother see: "Okay."

Are mom and dad going to separate?

On the other side, in the east room.

Tang Banxia and Wen Mubai were also talking about this: "Did your mother have a conflict with your stepfather?"

Otherwise, how could I bring my daughter all the way to Beijing?

Xiang Qing's father and brother are both dead, so she has no one to turn to, so she can only come to her biological son.

Wen Mubai stroked the smooth skin on his hands, his mind wandering: "Who knows, it probably won't work."

Didn’t he say that his stepfather was obviously a love-brained man who could hurt the woman he loved?

Tang Banxia thought about it and agreed: "That's right."

When it comes to love brain, it tends to appear in groups and can also be said to be contagious.

For example, there are so many love-minded people in their family.

After thinking about it for a while, she slapped Wen Mubai's increasingly dishonest hand away and said, "Go to bed early. You have to go to school tomorrow, and you have to go earlier. I'm the last one to arrive in the classroom today."

This won't do. If someone with ulterior motives finds fault with her and labels her as inactive, she will have a bad reputation.

Even though universities have resumed enrolling students, politics remains one of the most important subjects.

Big-character posters are still popular.

So it’s not the time to do whatever you want.

In this situation, following the crowd is often the best way to protect yourself.

Even though there is someone behind Tang Banxia, ​​it can't be too obvious, right?

Wen Mubai hummed, but he finally calmed down with his hands, placed them on the soft body, and held the delicate body in his arms, leaving no gap between them: "I'll just sleep."

The two of them slept soundly here.

In the west room.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Wanwan and Xiang Qing were woken up by the heat one after another. They had to lift up the quilt on top of them, and then they felt much better.

I fell asleep again, but before falling asleep I was still thinking, no wonder my sister-in-law only gave them one quilt, it turns out that one quilt is enough.

The next day, while the mother and daughter were still sleeping, Tang Banxia and Wen Mubai had already eaten breakfast and were ready to go to school.

However, thinking of the mother and daughter, Tang Banxia left a note on the table and also left a bunch of house keys, in case the mother and daughter wanted to go out for a walk.

It's another fulfilling day at school.

After school in the evening.

Tang Banxia returned home first.

At home, Xiang Qing and Zhou Wanwan were both there, and they had prepared dinner.

Seeing Tang Banxia coming back, Xiang Qing hurriedly greeted her: "You're back. The meal is ready. You can eat when Mu Bai comes back."

I have to say, the feeling of coming home to a delicious meal is so damn sweet.

No wonder so many men in later generations PUA their wives to be housewives.

If it were her, she would be willing to do the same.

Sure enough, sometimes there is no distinction between men and women, only a struggle for interests.

Women tend to be more emotional, so they are slightly at a disadvantage.

It's definitely not that women are inferior to men.

She was thinking in a thousand ways, but she still smiled faintly: "Mom, you come to us just to enjoy yourself, why would we bother you to cook for us?"

Xiang Qing smiled and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, so cooking is just a way to stretch my muscles."

Tang Banxia took the kettle from her hand and said, "You can take Wanwan out for a walk. The Great Wall, the ice rink, and some old alleys are all very interesting."

Xiang Qing did not refuse: "Okay, I'll take Wanwan out for a walk in a couple of days."

This is her first time in Beijing, so it would be nice to go out for a walk to relax.

Wait until she calms down and thinks carefully about what happened with Zhou Deqing.

"When Xiaobai and I have our holiday, we'll take the two kids with us."

"That's a good feeling."

However, the agreement between the two to go shopping together was not finally fulfilled.

Because Zhou Deqing came, on the third day of Xiang Qing's arrival in Beijing, in the middle of the night, he knocked on the door of Tang Banxia's house with a frosty face...
