Chapter 350 - Rent A House And Set Up A Home (2)

Mo Beihan looked at these two children, but did not know what to say.

These children were pretty smart!

“Who taught you that? What do you know about supporting someone?”

​ The two immediately grew excited. “We learnt it from Elder Sister. She taught us that in these circumstances, it’s called showing support.”

Mo Beihan laughed. “Not bad, you’re applying what you’ve learnt.”

The two children were stunned for a long moment, then asked curiously, “What does applying mean?”

Mo Beihan explained to them.

The fan was on in the living room. The two children listened to Mo Beihan while Gu Qingyao cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

When Mo Beihan saw that, he hurried over. “You keep yourself cool. I’ll wash the dishes.”

The two children looked at Mo Beihan. “Elder Brother Mo, you’re so nice to Elder Sister.”

Mo Beihan was amused. “I’m not the only one who is nice to your elder sister. Look at your elder brother, isn’t he also nice to her? You should learn from him and be nice to your elder sister when you grow up. Okay?”

The two little ones immediately nodded their small heads. “Sure, sure, we will certainly be nice to Elder Sister. She’s very good to us.”

Mo Beihan went to wash the dishes while Gu Qingyao sat in the living room and talked to the two children.

Zhou Ping felt jealous at the sight of this.

Mo Beihan was too nice to Gu Qingyao. She had never seen a man do all the housework while the woman remained seated.

Gu Qingyao arranged for Mo Beihan to temporarily stay in the children’s room.

There was still one last bed there. She just had to tidy it and it would be ready.

It was too hot in the afternoon and the two of them remained at home. When evening came, Mo Beihan went to look for a house.

Gu Qingyao went with him.

Mo Beihan had come to this provincial capital in his previous life. He knew a little of the circumstances here. He also had Ji Mingzhe with him, so he was not entirely clueless.

But he did not find a house that day.

That night, Third Brother, Gu Jinlin, and Third Uncle returned. Although they were a little late, the whole family was waiting for them.

Gu Jinlin and Third Uncle were both surprised to see that Mo Beihan had arrived. Gu Qingyao cooked the beef. She added vermicelli and cabbage to make beef soup, then added chili to make it spicy.

The men liked to drink when they were together.

Neither Mo Beihan nor Gu Jinlin were drunkards, but they could hold their liquor. Gu Qingyao also knew that Mo Beihan’s capacity for liquor was fairly large.

The beef soup was strongly flavored and it went well with rice and the alcohol.

They ate and drank until ten o’clock at night before they went to bed.

The next day, Mo Beihan continued to look for a house. Gu Qingyao wanted to go with him, but Mo Beihan refused.

“It’s too hot outside. You stay at home and teach them how to write.”

Gu Qingyao pouted. She wanted to go with him.

Mo Beihan patted her head. “Be obedient. It’s too hot outside. If you go out, your skin will darken.”

He cherished her, so Gu Qingyao did not force the matter. She obediently cooled herself in front of the fan at home.

Mo Beihan did not return at noon. He only came back in the evening.

“I’ve found a house. I’ll bring you to see it tomorrow. I ate with Ji Mingzhe and a few friends at the state-run restaurant this afternoon, so I didn’t manage to come back in time.”

It looked as if he had to entertain some people.

Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “No problem. It’s great that you managed to find a house. I’ll go with you tomorrow and fix it up. How big is it?”

Mo Beihan laughed. “Two rooms and a living room. It’s not too big, but it’s not small either.”

Gu Qingyao was taken aback. “Two rooms and a living room? A suite?”

Mo Beihan nodded, his eyes filled with amusement. This girl had even mentioned the word ‘suite’. “Uhm!”

Gu Qingyao was delighted.

In these times, property was scarce. It was incredible that Mo Beihan had managed to find a separate apartment within a building.
