Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s-Chapter 54 Moving (3)

Chapter 54 - Moving (3)

She had already cleaned the place some in the morning. Shu Yan gave each of them a towel and asked them to wipe down the table and the chairs one more time. She quickly laundered the bed sheets and comforter covers. The sun was strong enough to dry them in an afternoon and they would be able to use them that night.

She stretched a little and felt a tug on her arm. Shu Yan looked down and saw Ye Jingjing carrying a glass of water.

“Mom, have some water.”

Shu Yan felt comforted at first. Then, frowning, she asked, “Where did you get the water from?”

“From the kitchen,” said Ye Jingjing, looking a little frightened from her mother’s look.

Shu Yan tried very hard to mellow out and asked, “Were you and your brother drinking tap water at the hotel too?”

“No,” said Ye Jingjing as she shook her head. “We’ve only drank the water out of the tea pot.”

“Water from the sink is not clean and can’t be drunk. It will make you sick and you will need to go to the hospital for shots and medicines. You can’t drink out of the tap, okay?” It was natural to drink out of the tap in the villages, especially for someone like Ye Jingjing, who nobody cared about. She probably had that all the time, but it was Shu Yan’s job to teach her to stop doing that.

The sun was pretty brutal in September. Shu Yan decided to call a cycle rickshaw and the three of them rode it to the sales center.

“Mom, this tricycle is awesome. We should buy one too!” The tricycle person chuckled at Ye Tianbao’s words.

“You won’t be able to ride this.”

“Mom can,” Ye Tianbao turned and looked at his mother with excitement.

Shu Yan’s mouth twitched. What a good son you were. You wanted your mom to pedal a cycle rickshaw.

Xiao Li at the sales center immediately greeted Shu Yan when she spotted her, “Manager Wang is waiting for you. He was just about to send me to fetch you.”

“Miss Shu, these are your two kids? They are so cute.” Manager Wang had Xiao Li bring the kids some cake before he handed her the application form. “The school has consented, except that the best class was full right now. You can get into the regular one though.”

“That’s fine. We are just happy we can get in. Thank you so much for your help, Manager Wang.” Shu Yan took the application forms from Manager Wang. It was just some simple questions on it. Shu Yan was able to complete it quickly with Manager Wang’s help and put it away. “When can we go put in our application?”

“Tomorrow is already Saturday so just wait until Monday.” Manager Wang was very happy. Shu Yan had paid him $500 to take care of this matter and he only spent $20 on two cases of cigarette and had it all ironed out. The remaining $480 all went inside his own pocket. He only wished this would happen more often.

Now that all the matters concerning Ye Jingjing was done, getting Ye Tianbao into the kindergarten was much easier. Going to the kindergarten was part of the package. Now that Shu Yan had purchased a house here, Ye Tianbao could start kindergarten whenever. Tuition cost $200 a month, lunch and two snacks were included. That was a lot of one for this time period, but anyone who could afford to buy a house at this location wouldn’t care about that.

“The employee at the remodeling company said he’d like to talk to you in person with regards to your remodeling.” Manager Wang suggested, “Our model homes were designed by City Kong’s best architects. What say we just follow the model home’s design? A lot of people do it that way.”

“We can do that for the kitchen, living room, and bedroom.” Living spaces were even more limited in City Kong, so their designs would fully utilize every inch of space. Their designs would be impeccable. But Shu Yan wanted to remodel the bathroom and the patio according to her own personal taste.

“Sure, you can communicate your requests to the remodeling staff. They will do a good job.” Manager Wang nodded and asked inquisitively, “Do you have any other relatives or friends who are also looking for a house? If you refer to someone, we can give you a 0.1% kickback.”

“Not right now. I will for sure refer this place to them if it comes up.” Shu Yan smiled. This was the first time the two kids had cake and they were thoroughly enjoying it. Shu Yan left them there to enjoy the cake when she went to share some of her thoughts with the remodeling employee.
