Only two bedrooms in the main hall of the small courtyard were occupied. There were two more bedrooms on the east side. Gu Qingyao packed the rooms earlier, knowing that Mo Beihan would bring the family here.
The children and Mo Beihan would stay in the bigger room. They would live in bunk beds just like how they had lived in their hometown.
Jiang Yingqiu would stay in the other room alone. The capital was colder than their hometown. The weather was warmer now, but it was still cold in the morning and at night. There was a thick layer of blanket on her bed.
Jiang Yingqiu walked into the room. There was a cabinet, a table and a box. The mattress cover on the bed was soft. She touched the cover. It was made of new cotton, just like the blanket.
The bedsheet and blanket cover were of normal design but both were new.
The wall in the room was clean, and the entire room was cozy. The room was relatively higher, and the window’s location allowed the room to be very bright. It really was a lovely room.
This was much better than the room in her hometown.
Was she going to live here from now on?
She did not know how to react or what to expect.
After settling the children with Gu Qingyao in the other room, Mo Beihan came over. He immediately knew that she felt helpless as she was stoning on the bed.
He sat beside her and held her hand, “Mom, don’t worry. This place is temporary. You will not stay here forever.”
Jiang Yingqiu was shocked!
“Not… not here? Then… where will I stay?”
Mo Beihan said, “You will have your own house. I will find one for you. That will be your home.”
This was still Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin’s home. His mother would not be able to live freely here.
“Mom, this place has been assigned to Teacher Jiang by the factory. It’s not very good for you to stay here forever.”
Jiang Yiru might not say anything, but Mo Beihan was not willing to let his mother stay at another’s house.
His mother had suffered enough in her life. As her son, why would he bring her out if he could not even give her a home?
“I was busy settling my job and contacting the Mo family after I decided to bring you here. I did not have enough time to find a suitable house for you. You shall stay here temporarily, and I’ll go look around for an individual small courtyard. Jiang Xun and Ping Ping will live with you.”
Jiang Yingqiu was totally confused, “Jiang Xun and Ping Ping belong to the Jiang family. Aren’t they supposed to follow their great aunt?”
Mo Beihan smiled, “Their identity was registered under the Mo family. So, technically, they’re part of the Mo family. They will accompany you.”
Jiang Yiru still had Old Master Qin around, but his mother was alone.
She had spent all her time on the children. He was scared that she would not get used to a life without them.
Gu Qingyao came over and smiled, “Aunt, don’t worry about the house. I’m looking for one nearby. I’ve found a few that are nearby, opposite us or a street away from us. All of them are not far from Teacher’s workplace. It’s just that I did not manage to select one.
“Some were rented out. We need to wait if we want. Others need more negotiation.”
Mo Beihan did not expect that Gu Qingyao would be so thoughtful. He was too busy to find a house. He did not even mention it to her, but she still thought of it.
Joy filled Mo Beihan’s heart.
