I listened to my sister's words today.

Chapter 352 Buying a Rental House

With mixed feelings, Luo's mother walked slowly into the place where the child lived.

His eyes swept around this small space briefly, and a feeling of bitterness welled up in his heart.

There are only two rooms in the whole house, and the layout couldn't be simpler.

The so-called bedroom actually served as both a living room and a dining room. A worn-out sofa and a small table with peeling paint were placed there casually.

The other room was a small bathroom. The door was half-open, and the simple facilities inside could be vaguely seen.

All the furniture in the room looked old. The frame of the bed was badly worn, revealing the wood grain inside.

The wardrobe door was a little deformed, and it was difficult to open and close.

However, although the furniture was old and worn, it was kept very clean, the floor was spotless, and the furniture was wiped to a faint luster.

Luo's mother slowly walked to the kitchen, her eyes falling on the rice bucket. She reached out and gently opened the lid of the bucket, grabbing a handful of rice in her hand.

The rice grains were of different sizes, obviously loose-weighed and mixed, with long grains and round grains, different varieties of rice mixed together.

Her fingers stroked the rice, as if she could touch the hardships of the child's life.

The glass cabinet next to the stove caught Luo's mother's attention.

The cabinet was filled with various colorful cards, including supermarket discount coupons and advertisements, piled together.

These cards bear witness to Yun Yiruo's efforts to save on living expenses.

There is also a packed part-time job schedule posted on the glass cabinet, with the time and location of various part-time jobs densely written on it.

From morning to night, there is hardly any free time.

When Luo's mother looked at the schedule, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. She had always known that her child had not had a good life in the past, but when these real scenes were placed in front of her, she was still too upset to control herself.

Luo's mother held back the tears in her eyes, said to her child, "I'm going to the bathroom for a while", then hurried into the bathroom and closed the door with a "bang".

As soon as the door closed, her eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and finally she couldn't help but burst out.

She leaned against the door, her body trembling slightly, her heart filled with heartache for the child.

At this moment, Yun Yiruo outside was carefully taking out the skateboard from under the bed.

The skateboard was like his most precious treasure. He held it gently in his hands, his eyes full of love.

He turned around, picked up a rag from the side, and wiped the skateboard carefully, not leaving out any corner.

After a long while, I slowly straightened up and suddenly remembered that my mother had been in the bathroom for a long time and had not come out.

Yun Yiruo frowned slightly, walked quickly to the bathroom door, raised her hand and knocked gently.

"Mom, are you not feeling well?" The voice was a little anxious, as if afraid that something might have happened to Mom.

When Luo's mother heard her daughter knocking on the door, her heart tightened. She took a few deep breaths to calm her slightly confused emotions, and then turned around.

"What's wrong, Ruoruo?"

Yun Yiruo took out the skateboard and handed it to her mother after seeing that her mother was fine.

“This is my first skateboard. Isn’t it beautiful?”

Luo's mother reached out, took the skateboard, and looked at it carefully.

My fingertips gently stroked the skateboard, as if I could feel my daughter's concentration when she drew these patterns.

Luo's mother smiled and nodded in praise, "It's really beautiful. Maybe she will be a little painter in the future."

Yun Yiruo seemed to suddenly remember something, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she pursed her lips: "By the way, Mom, can you do me a favor?"

Luo's mother was slightly startled, then asked softly, "What can I help you with?"

As he spoke, he bent down and gently picked up his daughter.

Yun Yiruo sat next to her mother on the sofa, her arms naturally wrapped around her mother's neck, snuggling up to her like a kitten, absorbing that familiar scent.

"It's just... I want to buy this place."

But the age my sister registered for my ID card was too young, so I couldn’t do it myself.”

After hearing this, Luo's mother reached out and gently stroked her daughter's soft hair, whispering, "Of course, Mom will buy it for you."

"Let's contact the landlord then, okay?"

Yun Yiruo shook her head, a hint of stubbornness flashing across her eyes. She straightened her body and said seriously, "You don't have to pay, Mom. I have money!"

"I've saved a lot of money from live streaming, and I want to buy it with my own money."

As she spoke, she looked up and around every corner of the room - the wall with her graffiti, the wooden shelf filled with knickknacks, and the small potted plant basking in the sun on the windowsill.

His eyes were filled with longing as he murmured, "After all, this is where I started."

Mother Luo gazed at her daughter's little face, which showed a bit of determination, and felt both moved and relieved.

"Ruoruo has truly grown up and now knows that what you earn with your own hands is the most precious."

"But don't forget, mom will always be your strongest supporter."

Yun Yiru suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms, kissed her on the cheek, and smiled sweetly, "Hehe, thank you, Mom!"

After saying that, she took out a bulging small card holder from her pocket.

Although the card holder was not big, it was filled to the brim.

There were two bank cards lying inside, and next to them were various cards - there were prop cards for resurrection in the game, a student card with her name printed on it, and even some wrinkled anime cards.

He pulled out a bank card and handed it to his mother, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he was presenting a treasure.

Luo's mother stuffed the bank card into her bag and glanced at the watch on her wrist.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should go home and have lunch."

"Uh-huh!"

Yun Yiru responded twice, and impatiently bent down to grab the skateboard at her feet. She took her mother's hand and skipped out the door.

As usual, it skillfully hid under the pot of lush green spider plant beside the door, its leaves swaying gently, as if waving goodbye to her.

There wasn't much traffic on the way home, but it still took the mother and daughter more than half an hour to reach the familiar old alley.

As soon as the car stopped steadily, Yun Yiruo couldn't contain her excitement and pushed open the car door like a pony running away from its reins.

She tiptoed onto the skateboard and glided nimbly down the narrow alley, the wheels rubbing against the stone slabs, making crisp "tapping" sounds.

I drove all the way at lightning speed, and the moment I opened the door of my house, a rich aroma hit my nose - it was the unique sweet and salty taste of braised pork ribs, wrapped in the rich sauce, which made my stomach growl.

"Ah! Grandma!"

Yun Yiruo shouted in surprise. In the kitchen, the old lady just came out with a plate of steaming food.

When he looked up, he saw his granddaughter's smiling face. He quickly put down the porcelain plate in his hand, with steam still coming out of the edge of the plate.

"Hey, my dear granddaughter, come here and let grandma see you!"

The old lady smiled so much that all the wrinkles on her face blossomed, and her voice was full of doting.

He gently pulled Yun Yiru over, looked her up and down, his eyes filled with love.
