An Ning and Jiang Xia changed into working clothes, first turned on the electricity, then took down some cleaning tools brought by the tricycle, and tidied up the house first.

There was a well in the yard. Jiang Xia opened the manhole cover and tied a bucket with a rope. Looking at the water in the well, he suddenly realized that he had not done this for more than years.

After all, Jiang Wancheng is the one.

With a "pop" sound, the bucket fell down. Jiang Xia used a burst of skill to knock over the bucket floating in the well. As the water went in little by little, the bucket became heavier and heavier, and Jiang Xia felt a little satisfied in her heart.

It’s not a big deal, but I’m very happy that I succeeded.

Jiang Xia pulled the bucket up, poured it into another bucket, and carried it into the room on the left.

The two of them plan to live in this room, and the other room will be cleared out and used as a study or to store some things temporarily until it is cleaned up. When the fruits are ripe, someone will definitely want to come.

"The water is coming."

"Just in time, I'll clean up here. You go get some firewood and burn the kang. No one has lived in it for a long time. Go and remove the moisture."

"Okay, you put the rest away first and wait until I come back to boil some hot water and wipe it."

"Ah."

An Ning hummed, and Jiang Xia went out, took the machete and rope from the car, and went up the mountain to take a look.

An Ning touched the cold water first and exclaimed, "It's so cold!"
The freshly drawn well water has a biting coldness.

An Ning gave up using water, wore two masks, and swept the dust all over the house with a broom.

"Anyone at home?"

There was a shout at the door. An Ning went out with a broom and patted the dust on her body at the door.

"Someone."

"Hey - I just came to take a look."

A middle-aged and elderly woman, who looked to be in her 50s, came in from the door eating a handful of melon seeds.

"I have long heard that the old Wang family's house has been sold. I haven't seen anyone yet, but today I finally saw it." An Ning nodded and agreed twice.

"Hey, this needs to be cleaned up. No one has lived there for a long time. Where did you come from? Why did you come to the village? Did you hear about that?"

"We just retired and want to find a place to retire. I don't know what you are talking about."

The woman spat out the melon seed skin and said with disbelief in her eyes: "It's okay, you will know sooner or later. I tell you, people say that our forest area may have to be relocated." The woman moved forward and got closer. Minato, quietly sharing the important news.

"You came at the right time. You might be able to catch up. By then, this house won't be suitable for you to buy."

An Ning took two steps back.

"We just want to retire. We don't want to do that, so we have to do whatever we have to do."

"Hehehe, that's right, that's right, which unit did you belong to before?"

The woman was quite nice. She looked at An Ning and said, "Looking at your age, you don't think you are too old."

"No way - he's almost fifty."

"Retire at fifty?"

“We are the kind of unit in the company that retires early.”

An Ning slapped her body twice and dust flew up. The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and nose and took two steps back. After hearing that An Ning had retired from the company, her interest was much less.

"That's right, in private enterprises, the boss has the final say."

"I live diagonally across from your house, in the front yard. Just call me Sister-in-law Zhang."

An Ning just nodded and said nothing. Sister-in-law Zhang didn't stay long either. She looked around and left.

An Ning stood at the door and said with emotion: "The familiar smell of gossip."
