The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

"What's the big deal? I'll just make the clothes bigger and they'll last for years. Besides, kids go through the most clothes, especially boys."

"Listen to me."

Xie Yun directly asked the sales clerk to wrap the two pieces according to her specified dimensions.

Xie Yun paid the money anyway, and Shen Jingyue couldn't win the argument.

"Where did Yu Shu go? She said she was going to work this morning, but I haven't seen her here."

Xie Yun spoke as she walked forward.

"They're probably busy with something else," Shen Jingyue said with a smile.

"That's true, let's go take a look ahead."

They continued walking forward.

Xie Yun saw a sales clerk she recognized and asked Yu Shu why she hadn't come to work today.

"Auntie, didn't you know? Yu Shu came over this morning, asked for half a day off, and then left."

"What? You took leave? What's the reason?" Xie Yun asked, puzzled.

The sales clerk shook her head. "I'm not sure either. She took leave and left, saying she had something to do."

"What could possibly be wrong with her? I didn't hear her mention it this morning," Xie Yun said, puzzled.

"Maybe something suddenly happened, Mom. Don't worry, Second Sister is a grown woman, she'll be fine. Just wait for her to go back and ask her," Shen Jingyue said.

"You're right."

Xie Yun stopped thinking about it and led them to browse other counters, even buying Xiao Chen a pair of shoes.

At the hospital, Xie Yushu helped Song Ziming out of the hospital.

"Thank you so much for today. I also appreciate it if you could take the day off to bring me to the hospital."

Song Ziming looked very weak and sounded embarrassed.

"I'm fine, it's just that I took half a day off. You have a fever, why didn't you take some medicine? Do you know how dangerous this is?"

If I hadn't seen him at work, chatted with him for a bit, and noticed his expression was off, would he have continued to put on a brave face?

"I originally planned to go and take a look after get off work at noon, I didn't think too much about it."

"You're burning up like this, and you're still waiting until lunchtime to get off work? Did you hear the nurse just say that your fever is over 40 degrees Celsius? It's very dangerous."

"Thankfully, the fever has subsided. I'll take you home now. Don't go to work today; just listen to the doctor and get some rest."

Xie Yushu pushed her bicycle over and then took him back to his place.

He didn't live in the family compound; he rented a house outside.

Because housing in the family compound was scarce, there were no vacant rooms available when he arrived.

However, one place is already under construction and should be completed next year. It's an apartment building, and he'll be able to get a unit there.

Although he was the deputy factory director, he didn't want to be treated specially, so he rented a house to live in on his own.

"Do you live at home?" Xie Yushu asked.

It's in the alley opposite the department store.

Once Xie Yushu found out the location, she drove him to his home.

I often ran into him on my way to work, and I never expected that he lived in that alley.

"Don't you work in a machine factory? Why don't you find a place closer to the machine factory, or even buy a bicycle? It takes almost half an hour to walk to the machine factory."

"It's okay, the houses over there are cheaper, and walking is good exercise too, I think it's fine."

Song Ziming sat behind her, and to be honest, it was quite a novel experience; it was the first time he had ever ridden on a woman's bicycle.

"Alright, then you should get some rest when you get home today."

Xie Yushu took him to his house in the direction he pointed out.

When Xie Yushu arrived at that place, to her surprise, the place she rented was a courtyard house, the kind where several families lived.

Xie Yushu was shocked and looked at him in surprise, "You live here?"

"Yes, I think this place is pretty good."

"But it's crowded and noisy inside, so you shouldn't go in. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm better."

"Alright, then make sure you get plenty of rest." Xie Yushu handed him the medicine.

"Remember to take your medicine. Also, take it after a meal, and then get a good night's sleep."

Song Ziming took the medicine and said with a smile, "I understand, thank you for your help today."

"Go on in, I'm leaving now." Xiao Yushu rode away on her bicycle.

The aunt, who had just returned from grocery shopping, saw Song Ziming talking to a woman, who had brought him back.

The nosy aunt quickly took a few steps and came to Song Ziming's side.

Song Ziming was just about to go in.

The aunt had already arrived in front of them.

"Comrade Song, why didn't you come to work today?"

"Oh, I wasn't feeling well, so I went to the hospital to get some medicine. Auntie, you just came back from grocery shopping?" Song Ziming noticed the basket of vegetables she was carrying.

"Yes, by the way, I just saw what looked like a woman bringing you back. Who was she? Could she be your girlfriend?"

This auntie is a gossip, and since she lives in the courtyard house, she knows everything about the other families.

When Song Ziming first moved here, this aunt had already found out quite a bit about him, including that he was divorced, but thankfully he had no children.

He works in a machinery factory, and this aunt had previously asked him if he had a girlfriend, even wanting to introduce him to her niece.

She's good-looking and works in a machinery factory, where she gets a monthly salary.

If I work a few more years, I might be able to get an apartment.

She's just a bit old; her niece is only eighteen.

But when she talked about it with Song Ziming, he was completely unwilling, saying that he wasn't planning to find a partner yet.

She also asked her niece, who felt the man was too old and was unwilling, so the matter was eventually dropped.

"No, it's just a friend." Song Ziming took a step and walked into the courtyard.

The aunt quickly followed, "Really? I thought that woman was quite pretty, I thought she was your girlfriend."

"Well, don't blame me for being nosy, but you're living alone now, don't you want to find a partner? If you're interested, I know plenty of women, I guarantee..."

Before she could finish speaking, Song Ziming stopped and looked at his aunt, saying, "Auntie, you don't need to worry about this. I'm not feeling well right now, so I won't talk to you any longer."

After saying that, he went back to his rented little house.

The courtyard house houses several families, and they do their laundry and cooking in the courtyard.

So there were quite a few people in the courtyard at that moment.

The aunt never expected him to be so ungrateful.

You know, quite a few people want her to help them find a match.

I personally told him I wanted to introduce him to someone, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he works in a machine factory, she wouldn't have bothered with this.

She saw him chatting and laughing with that woman outside, and he even said they weren't dating. How hypocritical.

It's either yes or no, is it really that hard to tell the truth?

She was very angry, turned around and walked towards the people in the yard, and started talking again.
