Chapter 59: Decisiveness is hereditary

Just when Leon was hesitating whether to move to Happy Apartment, the baby-faced girl next to him stole a glance at his furrowed brows, and her watery eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

Mr. Lyon...what a nice guy!
He started working when he was a teenager, doing all the dirty and tiring work to support his small family. When he reached the required age, he successfully joined the police department and found a decent job that could support his younger siblings.

Moreover, he was obviously always short of money, but when the gas pipeline exploded, he refused the compensation without hesitation even though he could have gotten it by just nodding his head. This time, after being injured, he did not ask for compensation either. He was just thinking about finding a school for his younger brothers and sisters.

Also, when Mr. Lyon was knocked unconscious in the shopping mall yesterday, he was clearly only wearing a tattered old coat, but the only clothes he had with him were those he had bought for his younger brothers and sisters, and he had never thought of buying himself one...

Gently stroking the back of her smooth hand and recalling the rough touch of the calluses, she seemed to see the shadow of someone in Leon, and the baby-faced girl's eyes suddenly showed a hint of intimacy and appreciation.

Apart from not having such a precise business acumen, Mr. Lyon is really like my father.

He also loves his family deeply, works hard every day, never gives up no matter how hard it is, and can hold his ground when faced with temptation... Well... The only bad thing is that he is a little too young, several years younger than me...

……

It’s decided! Move!
After thinking about it for a long time, considering that there is a prison and a factory near Veteran Lane, the environment is too bad, and it is too hard for the two children to walk more than ten kilometers to school every day, Lyon finally made up his mind and moved his family to Happy Apartment.

As for the old man with the big scissors...

It seems that the old lady who loves knitting is communicable. You can try to talk to her, explain that you are not a bad person, and see if you can persuade her husband not to do it.

If that doesn't work, I'll just use the excuse of being busy with work and stay in the cleaning bureau for a while. Anyway, the two children's schooling can't wait any longer.

William and the others are enrolled now. If the middle-aged nurse's husband can take care of them more, they can still keep up. If they delay any further and fall behind in the course, they will really have to wait until next year.

After making a thorough decision, Leon turned to look at the absent-minded baby-faced girl, thought for a moment, and asked politely:

"Um... sorry, I forgot to ask you before. What's your name?"

"what?"

The baby-faced girl came to her senses and blushed. She subconsciously covered her swollen eyes with her hands, then lowered her head and said:

"Amy, just call me Amy!"

"Yes, Miss Amy."

After noting down the name of this woman who cried every time they met, Leon nodded and said:

"I have made my choice. Please help my brother and sister go to the Bridge School! Thank you for your help!"

"Oh, you're welcome, this is what I...we should do!"

She secretly glanced at the window of the ward, wanting to see what she looked like now, but she only saw an ugly woman with swollen eyes. The baby-faced girl couldn't help but panic, and quickly turned her head and said, "Um... Mr. Leon, our company happens to have several properties on Bridge Street, otherwise..."

"Ahem... this is really not necessary."

Fearing that she would say something like "I'll give you a house as compensation" and torture his already loosened bottom line, Leon coughed and waved his hand to refuse:
"I've been to Bridge Street and I know an apartment with a pretty good environment, and it's very close to Bridge Public School. I've just decided to move there, so there's no need to trouble you with this matter!"

"Huh? Okay..."

Having failed to give the house away, the baby-faced girl seemed a little disappointed. She bit her lip and asked tentatively:
"Um... Mr. Lyon, would you like to tell me where you are going to move to? Um... don't get me wrong!"

Seeing Leon's somewhat surprised look, the baby-faced girl waved her hand quickly, straightened her back and explained seriously:
"I don't mean to bother you, but... um... I might be assigned to work at a company near Bridge Street soon, and I'm planning to rent an apartment.

But I'm not familiar with that place, and I don't know which apartment is better. And I heard you just say you know a reliable apartment, so I want to ask you the name of that apartment."

"That's it."

After hearing the baby-faced girl's explanation, Leon's eyes flashed with realization, and then he smiled and nodded:
"That apartment is called Happy Apartment, located at 35 Bridge Street. It was converted from a privately run poorhouse. There is a three-meter-wide small garden in front of the building.

I visited there once before, and the residents there are all nice people, very warm and welcoming... well... but sometimes they are a little too warm..."

Happy Apartment... this is a really good name... well... I feel like if I live in it, I should be able to find happiness easily~
Little did he know that Leon’s so-called enthusiasm was like being chased from the fifth floor to the first floor by someone holding a pair of large scissors, and was almost cut into two pieces with a snap.

After firmly memorizing the name and address of Happy Apartment, the baby-faced girl clenched her sweaty palms, stared at Leon with a smile and nodded repeatedly:
"It's so welcoming! I usually like lively places, and what I like most is welcoming neighbors! Thank you for your recommendation, I will go over there and take a look later!"

"You're welcome. I just said a name."

Since he had a good impression of the baby-faced girl, and she had just done him a big favor, and considering that she didn’t look like someone who was short of money and might not like the shabby Happy Apartment, Leon thought about it and gave an additional instruction:

“By the way, although the other conditions of that apartment are very good and the rent is very low, it is already an old building, and the exterior and interior decoration are also a bit old.

But you can rest assured, although this building is old, it is definitely solid, and the residents and two managers are very reliable. Even a single girl living there alone is safe. It would be a pity to miss it. "

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing Leon seem to want to move there, the baby-faced girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded happily:
"That's great! If I really move there in the end, I will definitely thank you very much then, so please don't refuse!"

"OK!"

After making up her mind to move in and become a neighbor to Leon, the baby-faced girl turned her head as if unintentionally, first looking at the broom leaning against the corner, then glancing at the shopping bag that was slightly exposed under the bed, and said goodbye with a smile:

"Mr. Leon, I'm not only going to go look at houses, but I'm also going to help your younger brother and sister get enrolled in school. I won't disturb your rest today. We'll see you another day!"
