On the second day, Hongzhu and Li went to the restaurant first, and Cheng Wenhan also woke up early, and was glanced at by Hongzhu while sitting there, so he obediently went to get the books. Seeing this, Li Shi was only relieved, nodded and said, "Yes, after fifteen, you should work hard......

Cheng Wenhan saw Li like this, and he took the opportunity to save complaining.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Li thanked Second Uncle Li and Zhong several times, and said apologetically: "Second brother, sister-in-law, you have really worked hard these days. Biyun's business, let me do more today, you can rest for a while. ”

Zhong said with a smile: "What's this, this is also our own business, where can we not worry, just think about saving energy? It is also our greed, thinking that this restaurant is open and we will do more, but we don't want to rest." I won't stop for the New Year, and I can't wait for this restaurant to be closed day and night. You're busy with Biyun's business, and we can't help anymore......"

Li was even more grateful when he heard it.

Hongzhu interrupted and said: "Second uncle, I am like you in this business, you think that the restaurant can be opened day and night, but I think that I can become two, whether it is at home or in the store, there is no delay!"

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing and angry after hearing this, and raised his hand to pat the red beads, "You girl, you're thinking about money when you open and close your mouth at this time, I think you're just a person, and you want to do the work of two people desperately." ”

Hongzhu didn't reply to this, but Zhong said with a smile: "Anniang, don't talk about Hongzhu like that, she just said that, where have you ever seen her come hard, you girl is smart and capable." ”

Hongzhu hugged and said, "Second uncle, are you saying that I can do it if I am cheating and playing tricks?"

This sentence made both Zhong and Li laugh.

Hongzhu took the opportunity to tell her about renting a house with Aunt Gu yesterday, and Second Uncle Li was immediately happy when he heard it, only saying that Aunt Gu's sister was good at talking, and asked them to hurry up and see the courtyard.

"Where is the stall still set up by the left and right aunts, we are also busy in the morning. Hongzhu said with a smile, "Aunt Gu is also idle, I think if it wasn't for my uncle's family who invited her yesterday, she would have gone to open the market to set up a stall." ”

Li only sighed that it was not easy to make money.

After the morning, Hongzhu and Li went to Aunt Gu's together.

Hongzhu said from afar: "Lady, the New Year is auspicious, Wishing you prosperity." As he spoke, he handed over the things he was carrying, "Auntie, this is a snack I made myself, give you a taste, don't dislike me." ”

Aunt Gu smiled: "This girl is really good at talking, and I wish you a prosperous business." Come on, come here, what else to bring. Saying this, he couldn't help laughing: "Hongzhu, my business is really blessed by you." You don't know, because your second uncle's stall has been withdrawn, my business here has increased a lot, and now the stall is open, and the customers are lining up, and I can't stop. ”

Hongzhu said: "What's this, my aunt can't be busy, and I still have it." Look, I'm not here to help?"

This made Aunt Gu unable to do it, pointing to the red beads and laughing speechlessly, before she said after a while: "Okay, okay, I'll pack everything here, and I'll go with you to find my sister in a while." ”

Hongzhu said deliberately: "Auntie, how can I say this as if I only want you to help, how bad I am." I really want to help. ”

Aunt Gu really couldn't do anything with her, so she still beckoned them to clean up together.

Then everyone first sent the tables, chairs and other sundries of the stall all the way back to Aunt Gu's house, and then went to Aunt Gu's house together. Hongzhu was in a hurry, and Aunt Gu was also a little sure of her sister-in-law, so she didn't bother to tell anything in advance, and directly led someone to the door. The two roads are not far away, and they are not far from the south of the city. But Aunt Gu's house is next to the back alley of the big house, and there are mostly small courtyards set up by stewards with some identities on the left and right, and the environment is much cleaner than that of the market.

Hongzhu saw that there was still an osmanthus tree planted at the mouth of the alley, thinking about the fragrance in the future, and couldn't help but be a little excited. After thinking about it, I realized that I was happy to be able to move out of the Zhu family.

When the ancient aunt saw that her sister had come with someone like this, she was still puzzled and surprised at first, just because she had known Hongzhu before, and she was a hospitable person, so she smiled and welcomed people in without saying anything.

"Auntie, it's a New Year's greeting for you! Happy New Year!" Hongzhu also brought her snacks. Li also said: "Sister, I'm sorry that I suddenly came to the door to disturb this big New Year." ”

Aunt Gu said with a smile: "Isn't this New Year just to go to relatives to eat and drink, and it is a blessing for people to move around at home." I'm glad you're here!"

All the way in, but I went straight to the second courtyard where my aunt Gu's house lived, and there was a small door in the southwest corner of the front, but it was closed, and I couldn't see the situation in the front yard. Looking at the red beads all the way, the backyard where Aunt Gu lives is extremely quiet and clean.

After entering the house and sitting down, Aunt Gu quickly told them about renting a house, and said: "Sister, don't blame me for not saying anything before, I just thought that they were good, and it was a good thing to be able to live with you and take care of them." So I'm bringing people to the door to see the yard!"

Aunt Gu was stunned when she first heard this, but she was refreshing, and she didn't care much in her heart, so she just said: "Okay, I was still thinking about finding someone after February, but I didn't expect this fate to come." Look at the yard and move here if you are suitable. ”

Hearing that she agreed so lightly, Hongzhu and Li were both happy. Aunt Gu moved quickly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she led them to look into the courtyard separated by them, and talked about their own situation as they walked.

"My man is out with their master's house, and he is rarely at home. No, even the Shangyuan Festival didn't pass and people left, saying that a batch of batik cloth came out of the south, which was very fashionable, so I had to order it in a hurry. She said with both complaint and joy, "Now in this house, my mother-in-law lives in the main room, and she is a careless person." Before, she was thinking about the old house and a few acres of land in the countryside at home, and her uncle came to pick her up, so she went back. So now I'm with my daughter. Below, you also saw it just now, there is an old couple, helping to guard the door and do chores. My daughter is small, so I bought a little maid to take care of her. Just these few people, it's very simple. ”

Aunt Gu looked back at Li and Hongzhu's expressions, and said one more thing: "But the front and back yards are separated, and I also built a kitchen there, so I don't need to use it here." Only this small gate opened the two courtyards, and if it was okay to close it, it would not be noisy. ”

Hongzhu heard about this courtyard before, and she liked that it was not a miscellaneous courtyard, so she thought about it and said: "Auntie, there are only three people in our family, and we are only afraid of being cold and noisy." If my aunt doesn't like it, I can go to your house in the future. ”

Aunt Gu suddenly smiled and said, "That's it." ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the front yard, and Hongzhu looked around seriously and saw that the courtyard was similar to what Zhong said. There is no south block and no north house in the front yard, only the east and west wings on both sides, which look smaller than the Zhu family, but the layout is similar, one of the two rooms at the east side of the east chamber is a kitchen, and the other is locked and seems to put some sundries, and the open space along the house wall on the north side is a long strip of vegetable field, which looks a little messy now, and I don't know what was planted before. There are only two rooms in the west wing, one large and one small, but the windows are open and sturdy, looking at the spirit of the house. There is only one bad thing, there is no wellhead in this yard.

Aunt Gu first pointed to the utility room and said, "The house where this house lived before was useless, so she put some things for us." The only thing I can rent to you is three rooms, plus such a yard, and the place is very small. If you want to use water, there is a well in the backyard, and you have to get water from the back. ”

The more Hongzhu looked, the happier he became, as far as their family really didn't live in a big place, it was just right here. As for this wellhead, at this time, many yards do not have wellheads, so they have to go to Fangzikou to fetch water, which is not exquisite.

Aunt Gu led the people to the house one by one, the family in front of them had just moved out, and there were still a lot of furniture and utensils left, so it was very convenient to move in if you wanted to buy everything and move in. And if you don't pay attention to it, sweep and roll it up, and you will be able to live.

Hongzhu pondered for a while, the wing room in the north was larger, and she and the Li family lived in it, while the one in the south was reserved for Cheng Wenhan, with bright windows and a place to put a big bookcase for him. The kitchen is not small, just enough for her to do some food experiments on weekdays......

Aunt Gu was resting for a while, her eyes looked at Li's mother and daughter, and asked Li with a smile: "I don't know how Sister Li looks?"

The Li family is also satisfied in his heart, the yard is good, the owner is good, the only thing is that he is a little worried about the money and silver for renting this house, in the end, it is a single courtyard with a good location, and it is naturally more money and silver than the miscellaneous courtyard. She was thinking about it, but she didn't hear Aunt Gu's question for a while.

Hongzhu saw Li's shaking spirit, and guessed her mind when she thought about it, and went over to take her hand and shook it, "Mother, I think it's good." ”

Li smiled apologetically: "I also think it's good." It's just that the monthly rent ......" Hongzhu stepped forward and said, "Auntie, we all like your yard, you can give us a fair price." If it's right, we'll make it up for now. ”

When it comes to money and silver, Aunt Gu doesn't open her mouth anymore, on the one hand, she is close to her sister, and on the other hand, she is close to her neighbors, so it is not easy to speak.

Aunt Gu looked left and right, suddenly smiled, pointed to the vegetable patch and said something again, "This is still discussed with you in advance...... The previous family was a guy from Yingjia Cloth Village, and he worked under my master, and the two families were very familiar. His mother-in-law, Sister Xiaochun, is a diligent person, who opened such a piece of land and planted some gadgets...... When I first saw it, I said that I was not happy, saying that it was a good house to get some kind of farm work, and it was dirty and laughable. Anyway, someone has to fill it in. How do you know that my mother-in-law is happy to see it, and she will not let her fill it in alive or dead. My mother-in-law also said that she wanted to open the yard behind her to farm, but she couldn't solve it, and the front day didn't hinder the old solution, so let's stay. I'm in charge, so that's what I left behind. Then he smiled and said, "Don't laugh at me, if you live in this courtyard, you have to keep this land for my mother-in-law, and it doesn't need to be much, half of the place will be done." I was thinking about renting it to outsiders, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep this land, but if it was your family, I could still discuss it. ”

Hongzhu was stunned, and before she could figure out what to say, Aunt Gu interjected with a smile: "Anniang, Hongzhu, her mother-in-law is working on this little land, if she doesn't have this land, she has to move back to the countryside immediately." ”

Aunt Gu also smiled and said very bluntly: "I said before that I wouldn't rent it out, but it was also for this land." I will not tell that nonsense, but if you live, you will be like the man before you, two thousand dollars a month. The rest of the firewood and miscellaneous repairs are your own business. She paused, and then said: "I also know that my yard is not big, because of the vegetable field and the well, the small door in the middle cannot be closed, and it is really a little worse to say that the courtyard is alone." But if it's really a single courtyard, it's worth 4,000 yuan a month. ”

Li Shi was stunned when he heard this, and his expression was a little hesitant. Hongzhu knew that she was still too expensive, and the two rooms in the courtyard outside would be at least five hundred yuan less. Compared with the miscellaneous courtyard outside, Aunt Gu is good here. After careful consideration, the price that Aunt Gu wants is not high or low, and it is really a fair price.

Hongzhu thought clearly and nodded seriously at Li.

Seeing this, Li thought about it and agreed.
