The old house had not been rented out again and sat idle for a long time, leaving a musty smell inside.
Jiang He took some time off to tidy up the old house, organizing the kitchen and cleaning the bedroom, then opened the windows to air the place out for a couple of days.
Standing inside, she looked at the familiar rooms and smiled. It was here that Xu Qing, that guy, had tried every trick in the book to hold her hand, hug her, and then move in together, even suffering through the heat of summer in the storeroom for it.
He even thought he was so clever, tsk!
While Xu Qing and Xu Wenbin were busy with the transfer of property and finding a kindergarten for the children, they realized from many aspects that the old house was still necessary. Whether it was for Xu Qing to make daily trips back and forth to replace Jiang He for cooking or managing the kids' pickups and drop-offs from school and meal preparations, it was impractical.
