The rain didn't stop the next day.
The water in the river in the town is about to overflow, and people living on both sides of the river are preparing to evacuate.
Meng Meilan took advantage of the rain to go to the vegetable market and bought a lot of meat and vegetables. In the morning, she made braised pork and meat sauce for Mu Qingci and Su Qingmeng.
It rained heavily again in the afternoon.
The water in the river also overflowed.
Although the terrain of Mu Qingci's street is higher than that of the river, there is also a lot of water in many places.
There were leaks in other parts of their home as well.
Mu Qingci was worried and said, "Mom, please go to S city with me to stay for a few days. It will rain in the next few days. If it keeps raining, our place will definitely be flooded. Besides, there are many leaks in the house." , it’s not easy to live in either.”
Meng Meilan didn't want to go, "You only rented one house in City S. I can't live there even if I go there."
"Why can't you live in it? The room I live in is bigger than the master bedroom at home. Then you can live wherever you like."
As she said that, she took out her mobile phone: "I'm going to tell the landlord now that it's okay, Mom."
Then she quickly sent a message to Feng Lie.
But Feng Lie didn't reply.
Mu Qingci bit her lip subconsciously, thinking that she would just leave it alone and trick her mother into going there first. At worst, she would stay in a hotel later.
Then she put away her phone with a natural look and said to Meng Meilan: "Mom, my landlord agreed."
Su Qingmeng helped persuade: "Aunt Meng, please follow us to stay in City S for a few days, and then come back after the rain stops. This way Cici can feel more at ease while working there."
Mu Qingci: "Yes, I may fly to Province C next week. Mom, you are here alone, so I won't go on a business trip, or I might as well stay with you."
Meng Meilan couldn't stand up to Mu Qingci, so in the end she had to pack a few clothes, and the three of them moved the furniture and electrical appliances at home upstairs if they could, or wrapped them in tarpaulins.
Li Jianguo and Wan Qiong also came to help during the process, and they promised to help them look after their home.
Before the three of them left, Meng Meilan was still worried about her parents, so she called Uncle Mu Qingci.
Not long after, her uncle came over.
He looked at the situation at their home, sighed and said, "You can go to S city with Celadon to stay for a few days. If the water really rises, I will take my parents to the city to stay for a few days. Don’t worry about the affairs of the second son’s family...just leave it alone.”
Mu Qingci knew that her uncle had also lent some money to her second cousin, but now that the situation was like this, he wouldn't be able to get it back for a while.
She originally wanted to ask a few questions, but finally gave up.
It's not easy for her to interfere in elders' matters.
The uncle called his eldest cousin Meng Yichen to drive them to see them off.
In the car, Meng Yichen suddenly asked Mu Qingci: "Celadon, is it easy to find a job in S city now?"
Mu Qingci was a little surprised: "Don't my eldest cousin have a job?"
Meng Yichen's car maintenance job earns him a salary of seven to eight thousand a month. When he is busy, it can reach tens of thousands: "The salary in the county is too low. I want to go to City S to find a job."
The uncle then said: "The bride's bride price is 188,000 yuan. We just paid them a down payment in the city some time ago. Plus Cheng Wei borrowed another 100,000 yuan. How can we still have so much money."
It was he who was so obsessed at the beginning that he believed that Cheng Wei could do something big. When the time came, he would pay him back 150,000 yuan. Otherwise, why would he lend them the money? Now he can't even hold his head high in front of his wife and son.
After saying that, he said apologetically: "If the woman hadn't pressed her, we would have loaned you some money to renovate your house."
The uncle's family treated them well, and Mu Qingci would definitely not refuse, so she said, "Then I will go to City S to help my cousin keep an eye on them."
"Okay, thank you."
When the three of them got on the high-speed train.
Mu Qingci's cell phone rang suddenly, and it turned out to be a call from Feng Lie.
Meng Meilan was sitting next to her. Mu Qingci was worried that she would think too much, so she hung up the phone and sent Feng Lie a message.
Mu Qingci: [Instructor Feng, we are on the high-speed rail. Did you see the message I sent you? It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. I will rent a hotel for my mother after we get there. 】
Unexpectedly, Feng Lie's message was sent at the same time: [Sorry, it's night here and I didn't hear the message tone. 】
Then he sent another message: [You don’t need to stay in a hotel, just take your aunt back. 】
Feng Lie: [I still have a few days before I can go back. 】
Mu Qingci was relieved: [Thank you, instructor. 】
Feng Lie just replied um.
Mu Qingci guessed that he was busy, so she said: "Then you are busy, please pay attention to safety." 】
This time Feng Lie took a while before replying: [Okay. 】
Mu Qingci felt relieved, with a smile on her face.
Su Qingmeng, who was sitting on the other side, happened to see it and subconsciously asked: "Ci Ci, is there anything happy about you?"
When she asked, Meng Meilan, who was still concentrating with her eyes closed, also looked at her.
Mu Qingci felt a little guilty for no reason. She quickly suppressed the curvature of her mouth and said seriously: "I feel happy when I think that I want to live with my mother."
Meng Meilan said to her: "I will only stay for a few days."
After saying what came to mind, he added: "When we get there, do you want to go say hello to your landlord first?"
Mu Qingci hurriedly shook her head: "No, the landlord is on a business trip and the return date has not yet been determined."
Meng Meilan nodded and said nothing more.
Although she agreed to stay in S city for a few days, she was still thinking about her own house. After all, she and her husband worked together to build it. There were too many memories in it. She rarely left home and she hadn't arrived in S yet. city, she wanted to go back.
After arriving in S City, Su Qingmeng went directly to take the subway back to S University. Mu Qingci took a taxi with Meng Meilan to the East Lake Community.
In the car, Mu Qingci planned to do some ideological work for Meng Meilan.
"Mom, didn't I tell you that it would be good for me to rent this house now?"
"Yeah." Meng Meilan looked at her doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"It's just that... the house I rent is by the East Lake, the best area in the city."
Meng Meilan frowned, as if she had reacted, and asked: "Is the rent very expensive? Did you lie to me that it was cheap? Are you secretly saving money again?"
"No, no, it's really cheap. I'm the landlord. He doesn't usually live anywhere. When I rented, he just said he wanted to find someone to help look after the house and clean the public areas."
"So, you work part-time as a cleaner?"
Mu Qingci: "..."
Since she moved in, she didn't seem to do much cleaning. Basically, the instructor was doing the cleaning. Even when she invited him to dinner, he prepared everything. She only had to do a stir-fry, let alone clean the kitchen. .
Mu Qingci felt even more guilty when she thought of this, but in order not to worry her mother, she still nodded.
