C1109 Zealous Neighbor
"I think I told you before. What toilet is there? There's a tap in the yard." Yang Tao said.1
"Oh, oh, let me go and take a look. Do you have a basin?" It was only then that Serenity remembered that she really did mention it before.
"It's in the kitchen. You go get it yourself, I'll sweep the floor." Yang Tao said. He wouldn't let Serenity busy herself.
After taking a basin from the kitchen, Serenity returned to the courtyard. Not long later, he said, "No, the tap is frozen. It can't be filled with water."
"So it's like that." Since it was still summer when he left, he didn't think about coming back, so he didn't think too much about it. It was currently cold in winter, and the location of the taps in the yard was in the shade of the house.
Seeing that there was no more water in the water vat, he said, "I'll go next door and ask for a jug of water."
"That's quite important. Bring a bucket of water over. Otherwise, how could a pot of water be enough to wipe the table?" She spoke calmly.
"I fainted. I didn't ask for water to wipe the table for you. I used it to heat up the water and then burn the faucet. That way, the water would come out." Yang Tao said.
"Oh, oh, so it's like that." How could Serenity have done such a thing, so she had not thought of so much.
Yang Tao came back with a kettle and came back not long after. When he came back, there was more than one person, followed by an old woman who looked to be in her fifties. Yang Tao was carrying a kettle and the old woman was holding a dustpan.
"Auntie Wang, just put it here. Sorry for troubling you." Yang Tao said.
"It's okay, we're all neighbors here. You've struck it big and brought your parents back to the city. Are they coming back for the new year?" Auntie Wang asked.
"They will definitely come back, but it might be a bit late. The two of them have suffered for a lifetime, so I want them to enjoy life in the city. So, we need to come back and clean up first." Yang Tao said.
"Little Tao is really filial. Is this your girlfriend? What's her name?" "She's so pretty. Oh, Little Tao, how can we let the girls in the city do the menial work? How can they do it? Let's rest quickly and go to auntie's house for some hot tea." Auntie Wang said.
"Her name is Serenity. This is Auntie Wang, she watched me grow up." Yang Tao introduced.
Serenity couldn't stand Auntie Wang's enthusiasm so she quickly said, "No need, Auntie Wang, I came here with Yang Tao this time. I should be working."
"Aiyo, this child really knows his place. He's not like my family's stinking brat. It's almost the new year, and he still hasn't come back yet." Auntie Wang said.
"Auntie Wang, look at what you're talking about. My Qiang-ge was working outside of the city, and he was very nervous about buying tickets for the Spring Festival. Otherwise, he would have come back a long time ago." Yang Tao said, "Auntie Wang, you can go back first. We will be busy at home."
"Alright, then I won't disturb the two of you. I'll go back first." Auntie Wang said.
"This is your neighbor. He's so passionate." She spoke calmly.
"Yeah, Auntie Wang is a warm-hearted person. After my parents went to the city, she took care of my family." Yang Tao said.
"He's very friendly and nice, but his eyes aren't too good." She spoke calmly.
"Hey, I was wondering how you spoke." Yang Tao said, "He's healthy, but his eyes aren't too good."
"Didn't I say I'm physically, to actually think of me as your girlfriend? Isn't it good to look at you? Do we look like a couple?" She spoke calmly.
