Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 655
The woman inside the room shyly smiled and nodded, "Yes, I’ve already spoken to the young landlord. We’re taking tomorrow night’s train and are preparing to pack up some lightweight things to mail back first."
With a confirmed response, Granny Zhang smiled and chatted with them for a bit, "Someone happens to be looking for a place these days. If you’re sure you’re leaving, I’ll have them come over to see the house."
The young couple was easygoing too, "Sure, just let them come over directly."
Only then did Granny Zhang leave with a smile, and upon returning, she first looked for Old Mrs. Tong to inform her about it.
Unexpectedly, Old Mrs. Tong, in her eagerness, went directly to the neighboring courtyard. Chen Manjuan was probably fed up with the tension between her sister-in-law and her sister-in-law’s sister, and didn’t want her two young ladies to suffer prejudices any longer, living every day cautiously.
Granny Zhang took someone over once again. Chen Manjuan was very satisfied with this house and could accept the rent of three yuan a month.
After all, although this house is a wing room, the area is thirty square meters, enough for the three of them to live in. Most importantly, it’s neither too far nor too close to her maternal family, a most suitable distance.
Upon learning that the original tenant would be leaving tomorrow night, and they could move in tomorrow night, they expressed their gratitude repeatedly to Old Mrs. Tong and Granny Zhang.
It was agreed they would come to clean the place tomorrow afternoon, and then left together in company.
Old Mrs. Tong felt she had helped the second young lady of the Chen family, Granny Zhang felt Xinyan’s house wouldn’t be left vacant, she would receive rent, and also helped the second young lady of the Chen family, while Chen Manjuan felt her mother finally wouldn’t be stuck in the middle, and her two young ladies wouldn’t have to live in constant worry every day, allowing the three of them to have a peaceful year.
The three of them were in quite a good mood, walking back with chatter and laughter.

On her way to school, Xinyan found a place to store her purse in the space. After entering the school, she first made a phone call to He Jinxuan, "Hello, could you please find He Jinxuan for me?"
They quickly found him, "Hello, this is He Jinxuan."
Upon hearing the voice, Xinyan said, "Jinxuan, it’s me, Xinyan."
Upon hearing it was his little girl, He Jinxuan’s expression softened immediately, "Yanyan, why are you calling? Is there something you need?"
Xinyan gave a gentle cough, "After class this afternoon, I want to visit the research institute to see the two kids and bring over the finished cotton clothes and pants. Do you have time? Do you want to go together?"
When the wife invites, the man can’t refuse, even if there are no conditions, he has to create conditions, "Sure, I’ll come pick you up and we can go together."
After hanging up, he turned around and ran back.
He couldn’t drag his feet anymore, needed to quickly help those two masters fix those two cars, complete the maintenance, so he could free up his time to pick up the little girl.
To be honest, he missed those two little guys, Sili and Siyan too, and the thought of going together with Xinyan filled him with joy.
Just after jumping off the car, Master Fan saw his expression and teased, "Oh, what’s the good news?"
He Jinxuan didn’t hide, "My partner just called, inviting me to go visit my nephews and bring them cotton clothes and pants."
A master next to them brought over a wrench, "Your partner’s great, not even married yet and she already cares for your two nephews. You’re one lucky guy."
He Jinxuan smiled, "Yes, she’s quite something."
The two masters exchanged looks, and the one holding the wrench said, "Ah, to be young is truly wonderful. Look, our Captain He usually is all stern and cold, but talking about his partner, his face is full of tenderness. What’s that phrase... ah, I can’t remember it."
The other master chimed in, "What is it, turning steel into soft curls."
The master with the wrench burst out laughing, "Yes, yes, that’s it. Our Captain He is typically very serious, but when it comes to talking about his partner, he’s all tender, just like you said, soft curls."
He Jinxuan, still thinking about picking someone up, said, "Whether I can meet up with my partner all depends on you two masters now. I’ll treat you to drinks later."
The two said in unison, "Alright, we promise not to hold you back, Captain He."
He Jinxuan smiled broadly and joined in.
