Chapter 253
Qi Si was a talkative person, maybe it was to show their family's enthusiasm. In short, before the group entered the yard, they heard him talking a lot.

It was very easy for Song Nian, he only needed to utter a modal particle from time to time, so that Qi Si could continue talking endlessly as if inspired.

It wasn't until a somewhat plump woman heard the sound of the door, but no one came in after a long time, that she opened the door to check the situation, and found that her uncle had blocked the guests from afar to listen to his nonsense.

Her brows stood on end, and she almost wanted to scold others, but when she thought she hadn't met the Song family, especially when there was Shen's gentle smile standing aside, she felt a little more restrained, and could only refrain He coughed loudly, reminding Qi Si to restrain himself.

This is Zheng Hanlin's second daughter, Zheng Jiao.

She was one or two years younger than Shen Shi, but she didn't maintain her figure well.

In this day and age, it's normal. A woman in her early 30s has already given birth to several children. If all goes well, the oldest child is about to talk about marriage.

It doesn't matter how fat you are, but it's very common to have a double chin and a small stomach, and Zheng Shu is like this.

Although Zheng Jiao looks younger than Shen Shi, but when he is not angry, he is still very bookish, and because of his personality, he does not appear noble, but it is quite good-looking.

At the very least, it suits Mrs. Song's appetite. Her preferences are very consistent. For example, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu, the aunt of the Shen family, all have the kind of temperament that is relatively straightforward at first glance.

Although Zheng Jiao said that her natal family and her husband's family were both officials and officials, she was not overly particular about her attire. On the contrary, because of the cold weather, she wore a thick blue cotton jacket.

This kind of simplicity is in line with Mrs. Song's aesthetics for virtuous women, so before Mrs. Shen had time to say hello, Mrs. Song took a step forward and asked with a smile:

"This is Jiao Niang from the Zheng family, right? Oh, you really look like the old sister of the Zheng family."

Since Zheng Jiao got married, some people called her "Mrs.", and others called her "Second Lady" or "Second Mother", but her name, except for her husband and parents, was not called by many people anymore.

Especially after the parents returned to their hometown, only the husband was left in his own yard, calling people behind his back twice, and his voice was still low, as if calling her name was embarrassing.

Therefore, Mrs. Song's "Jiao Niang" gave Zheng Jiao a sense of intimacy even if it was the first time they met each other.

Originally, she was a little apprehensive about Song Nian bringing a large family with her when she came to Beijing for scientific research. After all, such a style of behavior is extremely rare.

Because Zheng Jiao and Shen Shi had passed letters and felt that Shen Shi was a reasonable woman, so she also felt that Mrs. Song was more indifferent to her son's difficulties and insisted on following her.

A widowed mother like this who raises her eldest son alone is often reluctant to leave her son in every possible way. Although Zheng Jiao can understand the old lady's mood, she is still a little worried that she will not get along well with her.

However, looking at it this way, Zheng Jiao's first impression of Mrs. Song was good, and his attitude went from being respectful at first to thinking that he could learn more about the female family members of the Song family.

When Song Nian's family and Wang Qi and his son were welcomed into the yard, the first feeling was that it was a good thing they didn't bring the servants of the family. It was really crowded if there were two more people living there.

There are a total of five living rooms in this courtyard, and the rest is a small kitchen and a room that can barely be regarded as the main hall.

It was obvious that the Qi family had helped tidy it up, and probably repaired the less sturdy places, but overall, it was indeed not a very good place to live.

If you want to compare, the house that the Shen family helped to rent is more than half smaller than when the Song family first arrived in Fucheng, and it is also much older, but the price is not only not lower, but doubled.

This is the housing price in Beijing.

In fact, this is already the place that Zheng Shu asked her husband to run errands and ask the dental dealer to find it. When renting it, the price was kept as low as possible, otherwise Song Yun felt that it was not worth it.

Because of guessing this, no one expressed dissatisfaction with the simple and cramped residence they would live in for the next six months, but thanked Zheng Jiao and Qi Si again and again.

Especially when Zheng Jiao learned that the Song family was coming today, he specially asked his servants to heat up the stove, and there was hot water. Although the dishes were not prepared, the main reason was that they didn't know what the Song family's food habits were, but the staple food Done too.

To be honest, they could have just sent a servant to deliver the keys. After all, the two families had no friendship before, but they only had the Zheng family as a bond.

But Song Nian appreciated the sincere treatment of the Song family, and agreed to visit him personally in a few days, and said that he would invite the Qi family to visit when his family was almost ready.

Then Mrs. Song and Mrs. Shen urged Qi Si and Zheng Jiao to go back earlier. It was getting late now, and it would be dark if they didn't leave, which was not safe.

Zheng Jiao also thought that the Song family had just arrived in the capital, and they might have to pack their luggage for a while, and with so much traveling, they must also want to take a good rest, so they took the opportunity to leave.

But in the end, she kept a cooking woman and an errand boy she brought from her husband's house.

Either way, multiple hands are good.

The Song family is indeed short of manpower now, especially those who cook and those who can inquire about the situation in the capital.

When they left, the two families looked at each other and could only smile wryly. It stands to reason that today has been very smooth. They entered the city smoothly, found a place to live, and even cleaned the house.

Can……

Packing luggage and assigning accommodation is still a big project.

Let's allocate a room first.

The conditions were limited, and it was impossible to squander the space as they were used to. In the end, Mrs. Song lived with her granddaughter, Wang Qi and his son lived together, Song Ce brothers shared a room, and Song Nian and Shen's husband and wife lived in a room.

The smallest one is left, which must be the place where the original owner let the hired help live. It doesn't even have a window, so it can only be lived by Huber.

Others are fine, Song Yun glanced at her grandmother and sighed.

It's not that Song Jun dislikes the old lady, it's mainly because her sleep quality is not very good, and the old lady Song is old, breathing heavily, and more or less snoring.

Anyway... here's the problem.

Song Nian and Shen Shi also knew about their daughter's problem, because since Song Yun was born, whenever there was a sound outside, she had to keep her eyes open and look at the ceiling.

At one point, Song Nian and Shen Shi were terrified, thinking that there was something unclean in their house.

Later they found out that Song Yun was afraid of hearing voices while sleeping.

But now there is no other way, Song Nian glanced at his own mother, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.

You can't let a grandmother stop breathing for her granddaughter, right?

Mrs. Song is not blind, so how can she not see the complex little eyes of her son, she groaned in her heart:

What kind of noble girl is this, she is not allowed to snore when she sleeps, when her old lady was at her mother's house, she always listened to the snoring of pigs to sleep, didn't she grow up well?
