Chapter 24: Beautiful Neighbor (Part 2)

The arrival of the beautiful new neighbor aroused great curiosity among the residents. However, since that evening, Wang Yihong had not been seen for several days. It wasn't until the day before Saturday that a woman who looked like a nanny arrived and spent the morning cleaning the 220 apartment.

As Ning Xiaobei returned home from the neighborhood grocery store, he was called over by Aunt Tian from the second floor.

"Xiaobei, come here, Auntie has oranges for you."

At that time, the locally grown Changxing Island oranges had just hit the market in Shanghai, and they were quite expensive. Zhao Jingwen had bought a few for the children to try a few days ago.

These oranges were small and sour, causing Fan Xia to curl up into a ball after eating a slice at school, even exaggeratingly rolling his eyes.

However, Ning Xiaobei liked them very much, so he politely thanked Aunt Tian and accepted them.

"Xiaobei, didn't your dad help that woman from 220... the new neighbor? Did she say what she does for a living, and when she will officially move in?"

Earlier, Aunt Tian had gone to talk to the nanny in Wang Yihong's house, but the nanny said she was just a part-time worker and it was her first time there, so she didn't know much about the household's situation.

After taking a look around the house, Aunt Tian noticed that although the furniture was semi-new, the materials and workmanship were of good quality. Moreover, they had all the trendy appliances like the Panasonic color TV, rice cooker, and the new Fei refrigerator that were popular in Shanghai recently. So, she speculated that their living conditions should be quite good.

"Hey Xiaobei, tell us about her background."

Aunt Zhang, who had just argued with Aunt Tian a few days ago, came over fanning herself vigorously, not holding grudges as Aunt Tian handed her a slice of orange. She put it in her mouth, and her face immediately twisted up.

"Goodness, this is unbearable. I've never eaten such sour oranges, even when I was pregnant. Bleh..."

"I don't know what Auntie Wang does. But my dad said she's waiting for everything here to be cleaned up before she officially moves in," Ning Xiaobei said, suppressing a laugh.

"I see. How many people are there in her family then? She seems to be around the same age as your dad, so she must be married with kids, right?" Aunt Zhang said with a gossipy expression.

"I don't know about that. Aunt Tian, Aunt Zhang, I have to go home now. My dad is halfway through frying fish and is waiting for my soy sauce," Ning Xiaobei said, lowering his head.

"Alright, off you go. Xiaobei is responsible, even helping his dad with soy sauce. My son only knows how to eat; if the soy sauce bottle fell, he wouldn't even bother to pick it up," Aunt Zhang waved to him as he left, continuing to gossip with Aunt Tian about the happenings in Apartment 220.

The two heads with small curls leaned together, looking from behind like twin sisters.

Ning Xiaobei knew everything about the Wang family. After all, in the "real world," their two families had been neighbors for many years, living in the same building after being allocated due to the demolition of old houses.
