Qi Min feels comfortable paralyzing at home, but if he paralyzes too much, he will eventually overturn.

It was just okay to go home during the winter vacation in the first year. After returning, the lab boss suddenly took over a collaborative project and sent her and Yelena to the local hospital to collect samples. Qi Min was really busy during this period. Although she was in the United States, Anton and Mimi were asleep when she came home every day, so it basically didn't make any difference whether she was away or not.

After Qi Min finally settled the samples and clinical matters, she returned to the life of taking care of Mimi with Anton before the holidays. Anton didn't have the time to ask her what she did during the winter vacation.

But the next year, Qi Min fell apart when he returned home.

Because last year he went home straight away and found that his parents were unable to take annual leave, and his classmates were either in graduate school or in their career promotion period and could not take vacation. This year, before Qi Min "escaped" from Mimi, who was becoming more and more noisy, she first went to her home They discussed the arrangements for the winter vacation, and flew back to China as soon as the vacation was over, and then transferred to Southeast Asia with her parents.

Southeast Asia tourism is the traditional three countries of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The content is also quite satisfactory and suitable for leisure travel by Buddhist youth and middle-aged people.

Qi Min took a lot of photos along the way, and would choose a few to post on WeChat Moments every day, and also blocked Anton on purpose.

Because she didn’t have many mutual friends with Anton on WeChat, she wouldn’t know if she blocked him. This seems to be a method without any hidden dangers, but the bad thing is that Qi Min always has the probability of making a mistake with shaking hands, and the more times he sends, even if the probability of making a mistake is very low, the mathematical expectation can reach 1.

Fortunately, Qi Min sent the wrong message on the day the trip ended, and what he sent was only a picture of his return to the Capital Airport.

She was a little tired after this trip, so she fell asleep when she got home. In the middle of his sleep, he was woken up by Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong for dinner. Qi Min got up from the bed and went out to the dining table in his pajamas.

Her mother and father were too lazy to cook, so they ordered takeout today, as well as kebabs. Qi Min took a bunch of mutton, woke up her phone screen and took a look at WeChat. Many people in her circle of friends liked her...

etc? How come there are still "spiritual poverty alleviation targets" replying to her?

Qi Min was horrified to find that she had forgotten to block Anton in her last friend circle. She quickly checked it out and took a look. The "spiritual poverty alleviation target" commented under her airport photo: "Where have you been?"

Qi Min took a deep breath and wanted to pretend not to see it, but when he thought that if Anton decided that she returned to China just to avoid working at home, he might not be able to let her live a peaceful life for a long time. So I still have to explain as much as possible.

Anyway, no one else in the circle of friends can see it. Qi Min replied below: "I went to Singapore with my mother to visit my aunt."

This seems to be a good reason. Qi Min's mother's sister used to work in a foreign company and often went on business trips overseas. After her retirement, her aunt came to live in New Zealand.

About two hours later, Qi Min received another message from Anton, also in Chinese: "Your aunt lives in Singapore?"

"Yes." Qi Min replied, adding, "When she was young, she worked in a foreign company."

Anton immediately replied, but in English again: "You are so busy, Min."

"I can't help it because I'm busy." Qi Min replied, "How are you doing?"

"Everything is normal. Mimi went to play with the neighbor's children today. Unfortunately, Mrs. Anderson and her family are moving away," Anton replied.

The Andersons are moving out? Qi Min was a little surprised. Mrs. Anderson was the neighbor who lived across from the apartment rented by Anton. She was not the owner of the apartment, but also a tenant. Because her husband worked out of town, Mrs. Anderson took care of her three children. The youngest was one year older than Mimi.

Before Mimi, Qi Min and Anton rarely interacted with this neighbor. Mrs. Anderson probably regarded them as common young people in this area who stayed away from home all day long and did not do their job. But after Mimi appeared, this low-income lady who almost entirely relied on government subsidies helped them a lot. Even the person Qi Min and Anton hired as a temporary nanny was introduced to them by Mrs. Anderson. Even when they were really busy, Mrs. Anderson would help them take care of Mimi for free.

"Where will Mrs. Anderson move?" Qi Min asked.

"I don't know either. I just heard that Mr. Anderson settled in another state." Anton replied.

If Mrs. Anderson were to move to another state, it would mean that it would be difficult to see her again and there would be no way to contact her if anything happened. This may be a very serious problem for Qi Min and Anton. They finally learned how to take care of babies, but Mimi has now grown from a baby to a toddler, and the way to raise a toddler is different from simply taking care of a baby, and Mimi still has to be sent to kindergarten or something, right?

There are so many things that I can't ask Mrs. Anderson, so I have to rely entirely on myself.

But there is another question. Qi Min asked again: "After they move out, will there be new tenants moving in?"

The apartment opposite is owned by the same landlord as the apartment where Qi Min and Anton live, so if the apartment opposite is to be replaced, Anton can ask his landlord for the exact information.

Sure enough, Anton replied: "There are new tenants, they are said to be three young people. When they came to look at the house, I saw them, they were three punks."

Punk is terrible. Qi Min himself does not dislike punk, because it is actually a way for young people to express their disapproval and resistance to reality. In the left [harmony] thought, everyone should have the right to express opposition. But objectively speaking, having three punks living across the street will indeed have a somewhat "good" influence on the children of my family that is not in line with mainstream values. What's more, if Mrs. Anderson, who was originally able to help a lot, was replaced by three punk young people, the gap would be too big.

"Does Mrs. Anderson have to leave?" Qi Min asked on WeChat, and added, "Has the new person's contract been filled out? Are you sure you want to change the tenant?"

"It should be confirmed. But if the new tenant is too much, we can also find another place to live." Anton replied.

"That's too troublesome." Qi Min had to reply.

When she first arrived in the United States, she didn't know about the rental market in this area, so she was cheated. But now that all these years have passed, Qi Min also understands what the market price of renting a house in that small shabby place is like. I have to say that the apartment Anton rented was already very cost-effective. It was probably because of the face of the previous Chinese restaurant owner that the price had not increased for so many years.

After Mrs. Anderson moves out with her children, the rent of the apartment opposite will probably increase. After all, the landlord wants to make money. Renting the apartment to three punks in order to make more money will have an impact on other tenants, but it is in line with the laws of capitalism.
