Chapter 7
Rao Xia looked at the old man, with a little sadness on his face, and sighed, "As soon as he got married, his father collapsed in the mine, and the uncle of the house was not allowed to continue to live, and I, I don't have a job ......."
The old man couldn't help but have two points of sympathy on his face, "The buildings in the family courtyard over there are not cheap, at least thirty or fifty-one months." ”
Rao Xia also frowned, and heard Old Man Qi continue, "I know that Lao Zhang and they have a house to rent, and they shouldn't have rented it out yet, it's a little old, and it's not a building, but what they want is not expensive." ”
Rao Xia's eyes lit up slightly, it is not easy to rent a house at this time, and it is not easy to meet a suitable house.
And for people in the 21st century, especially those who have her own private restaurant, she naturally prefers a bungalow with a yard, she quickly asked, "Where is it?"
"I'll show you there. He turned around and locked the door, and then led Rao Xia and them forward, and continued, "Lao Zhang and the two of them are retired, and they are going to live in the building with their son." ”
"It's a pretty spacious house, it seems to have three bedrooms. However, the old couple has also lived for decades, and now that it has been renovated, it is still very clean and convenient. He glanced at Rao Xia, "However, I still have to pay 20 yuan a month." ”
Lin Ziang's face changed slightly, and Old Man Qi could see it clearly, shook his head and said, "It's really not good, you go to the eastern suburbs, it's cheaper over there, rent a big house for five yuan, in fact, you can live there." ”
Rao Xia calculated that 20 yuan was indeed not cheap, and she remembered that at this time, the monthly income of ordinary workers was only more than 100 yuan.
At this time, 20 yuan is quite a good purchasing power now, and you can buy close to 100 catties of rice.
Although it is necessary to save money now, Rao Xia also wants to find a safe place to live, this era is not like the 21st century, no matter what life or future, it must be built on the basis of safety.
Moreover, Lin Ziang and Lin Zishuo have grown crooked in the future, in fact, they are also inseparable from the environment.
There's no reason to really wear it back from the 21st century, you can't get an Alibaba, and you can't even get the money to rent a house, right?
Rao Xia thinks that she is also a skilled person.
"Is Teacher Zhang here? Can we go and see the house and rent it directly?" asked Rao Xia.
Seeing her attitude, Old Man Qi's eyes also lit up slightly, "It should be okay, let's go, I'll take you to have a look." ”
When the old man Qi called Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang was an old man about 70 years old, and his face looked very old-fashioned, but when he heard about the Lin family, his face eased a little.
Rao Xia is a woman, and she is a stepmother, willing to continue to live with her three children, no matter what, they have some sympathy and admiration.
Rao Xia also took Lin Ziang to see Teacher Zhang's house, the house was very clean, even if this small courtyard had a foundation of thirty or forty years, it didn't even fall off a little wall skin.
Although the house is a little smaller, there is a small courtyard when you enter the door of the house.
This is rare in this area, and the door of the house is a small living room, with a small bedroom on the left and right, and a larger bedroom inside.
Rao Xia pondered, she could take the little girl in the big bedroom, and let the brothers live in the two small ones.
There was a kitchen at the back of the yard and two large stoves, and Rao Xia's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
She plans to do a food business, and it is not convenient to live in a place like a tube building, and it is not convenient to use only a coal stove. This kind of yard is also convenient for putting things, which can be regarded as just interested in her.
There are two brown beds in the house, as well as two chests of drawers. Teacher Zhang said that they could keep it for them to continue to use, and from the perspective of her and Lin Ziang, it was probably because they heard from the old man Qi at the school gate about their family's situation, and asked them to give 15 yuan a month.
There is water and electricity, there is a separate toilet, and there is a large kitchen that is suitable for this. If it weren't for the rarity of buildings in this era, it would be impossible to rent it for 15 yuan.
Now that this condition can have such a house, Rao Xia has nothing to be picky about, thinking of this, she immediately asked, "Then we will sign the deed directly now?"
Teacher Zhang glanced at Rao Xia and nodded.
Lin Ziang hesitated, and when he saw that Rao Xia had also given out the money, he didn't speak anymore.
He watched silently as Rao Xia signed the contract, really rented the house, and then took him to look at every part of the house carefully, looking at what needs to be added in the future, and gradually lowered his head, so, Rao Xia is really not ready to leave them and run away with the money?
You know, Rao Xia just gave a full thirty yuan.
One month's deposit, one month's rent.
Rao Xia didn't know what Lin Ziang was secretly thinking about alone, she was really satisfied with this house, not to mention that the house was very clean, the windows were all glass, even on the first floor, the three bedrooms were very bright, and there was water and electricity.
At that time, as long as all the things are moved, Rao Xia feels that there will not be a big problem. Thinking of moving, the expression on Rao Xia's face froze for a moment. Moving in this day and age doesn't feel like the future...... With a moving company, one truck can move everything.
Thinking of the hour's journey today, and the fact that she didn't know how many times she had to move, her face was all blue.
The most important thing is that she wants to move everything out of this house, and she will not be targeted and entangled by Lin Laosan and them, but she is afraid that it will cost some money.
She touched the remaining 110 yuan in her pocket, this move, you still have to invite someone to come, it is better to be fierce, the kind that Lin Laosan can't afford to provoke. Otherwise, when Lin Laosan found out in advance that the house was not Mrs. Lin's name, he would still have trouble.
Before going home, Rao Xia took Lin Ziang to the vegetable market, and bought some vegetables and a pound of lean meat by the way.
At this time, fatty meat is more expensive than lean meat, because fatty meat can refine oil and replenish oil and water.
However, Lin Ziang and the others are yellow and thin, and most of them will have diarrhea if they eat such a fat one.
Lin Ziang was commanded to carry things, and his eyes were extremely complicated to look at Rao Xia's back.
He was a little angry that Rao Xia spent money indiscriminately, their family was so poor, there was no money at all, Rao Xia even bought eggs and meat. However, he also knew that the meat, vegetables, and eggs were to be eaten by them.
Rao Xia didn't care so much, when she bought things, except for the meat and asked her for a ticket, the rest was bought at a roadside stall, and she could buy it as long as she had money.
She probably asked a lot of questions before slowly walking back.
It's past dinner, and there are marks of being kicked and kicked at the door, but the door is quite sturdy in this era. She shouted, "Xiaoya, Xiaoshuo open the door." ”
At this time, there was a little movement in the house, as if moving things a little bit, and it took a while for the door to be opened, and seeing Rao Xia and Lin Ziang, the panic on Lin Zishuo's face dissipated a little.
Rao Xia touched his head, "That's amazing." ”
Lin Zishuo's face finally showed his first smile since Rao Xia saw him.
Rao Xia picked up Xiaoya, looked at her big eyes and finally knew how to look at herself, and walked to the kitchen, "Lin Ziang washed all the dishes and soaked them in rice." ”
Seeing Rao Xia holding Xiaoya in one hand and Lin Zishuo in the other, Lin Ziang pursed his lips, locked the door again, and went to the kitchen with his things.
Rao Xia went to boil the rice, shredded the lean meat, and marinated it...... There were no condiments, so Rao Xia simply gave up this step, only put the little liquor left over from the banquet, and went to the fishy one.
The rice she bought is not good rice, three cents and five pounds, and she doesn't want a ticket.
Rao Xia cooked porridge, washed the Chinese cabbage and radish he bought one by one, and began to pickle.
In this era, there are very few varieties of vegetables that can be eaten, and many vegetables are also seasonal, and when they are eaten, they also have to be pickled together, or dried in the sun, etc.
Rao Xia pickles are to set up a stall in a few days.
When she pickled the cabbage and radish and cooked the porridge almost enough, she rolled the shredded lean meat in, looked at the discoloration, and when it was cooked, she rolled the greens into it as well.
After this operation, put this casserole next to it and call them to eat.
For the time being, there are not such good conditions, as long as you can eat enough and be nutritious.
Lin Ziang looked at the hot porridge and wanted to step forward to serve it, but Rao Xia didn't let him move, "You take the bowl." ”
Lin Ziang lowered his eyes and went to get the bowl, the casserole had an excellent heat preservation effect, and when it was placed on the table, the porridge inside was still boiling slightly.
Lin Ziang hadn't eaten anything delicious, but just looking at it, he felt that this pot of porridge was so beautiful that he ...... The saliva is about to overflow.
It's all that kind of whitening porridge with tiny minced meat in it, and just looking at it makes me feel particularly tempting. There are still small bubbles bubbling inside, and the emerald green vegetables are not like the wilted leaves that they can only eat in the past, this kind of green vegetables have an indescribable fragrance.
He remembered that the text talked about the appearance of jade and white jade, and he thought, probably like this, right?
He didn't know why, as long as things passed through Rao Xia's hands, they became such a fragrance.
Rao Xia Ke felt how good this porridge was, and after drinking it in one go, she wanted to talk to someone, she was too unfamiliar with this world, so she could only find someone to inquire more, and then find a way to give Lin Laosan a pit.
