"Lately I’ve been bothering Brother Li a lot. I haven’t seen him for a month. I must invite Brother Li for a al and properly thank him."
"Your brother invites him for a al every day; I’ve thanked him for you. Brotherhood can be exchanged for favors. You should check on Han Yi’s updates. It’s been such a long ti, haven’t heard any news?"
Lin Wan furrowed her brow and sighed, "Before buying the house, there was a call saying he’d be back soon."
"As long as there is news," Lin Yinghui didn’t say much, knowing military information is strict.
"Brother, is there any hope for installing a phone? If it’s possible, I’d like to have one installed at ho." Now that she’s moved here, she’s unfamiliar with the neighbors. Unlike Grandma’s place, there’s no nearby small shop. In the future, calls with Han Yi will be troubleso.
"The factory installed one a couple of days ago, thanks to Brother Wu. A single phone cost quite a bit of money." It really made their hearts ache.
"How much did it cost?" Lin Wan asked.
"The initial installation fee was two thousand eight hundred, almost three thousand. Plus, a two hundred relationship fee for Brother Wu, it cos to three thousand."
"That’s so expensive." Lin Wan thought about her family’s savings book, feeling a twinge of pain.
"Brother, I want to install one at ho. Can you ask Brother Wu if it’s possible?"
"Really install one?"
"Yes, otherwise Han Yi won’t be able to reach . Money can be earned again, but she doesn’t want to go a day without hearing Han Yi’s voice."
"Alright, I’ll ask. If both our families install one, this cost is on ."
"No need for yours, I have my own. Last ti I made quite a bit selling clothes, and there’s still a batch at ho. I’ll make and sell them these few days, sure to earn quite a bit again."
"Take with you when you go out, I’ll accompany you. These days the city is really chaotic."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Yinghui dropped Lin Wan back ho. Lin Wan made a dish of fried vermicelli. After eating, Lin Yinghui wanted to leave, but Lin Wan wouldn’t let him. The midday heat is overpowering; it’s easy to get sunstroke. Persistently, she urged him to rest before leaving. Lin Yinghui couldn’t resist her and obediently went to the guest room to rest.
He didn’t leave until past two. That afternoon, Lin Wan finished the remaining fabric, taking three days to sew and iron the clothes. Lin Wan had been busy at ho making clothes these days and unaware of the situation at her mother-in-law’s place.
Until Hu Lijuan sent over a car, she realized they had moved into a building.
"How co it was so fast? Did that tenant agree?"
"Yes, that afternoon my dad talked to him at work. Isn’t it because recent child trafficking has been rampant? They were afraid too and kept their kids playing indoors, not daring to take them outside. The kids got anxious over ti. They were looking for a house with a yard too. My dad told him about the situation, and after work that day, he went to see the yard. He liked it a lot. They discussed it as a family that night and agreed. Two and a half months’ rent was left. My dad helped them pay two months’ rent with more given than required. They moved the next day. We moved in yesterday. Saozi was delighted. Each of us, Xiao Dong and I, have our own rooms now. Plus, there’s a flush toilet, and it doesn’t sll at all," Hu Lijuan said proudly. It made their family so happy these past few days. Last night, mom cooked two pounds of at, and the family enjoyed braised pork. Dad and Xiao Dong even sipped so liquor.
"As long as everything’s resolved. Does Grandma know about this?"
