Chapter 42 Lease Agreement
On the green grass, a chubby little boy about 2 years old shook his body, shouting Daddy, Daddy in a milky voice, Li Liang lay on the grass, lazily basking in the sun. The little boy took small steps, swayed in front of Li Liang, and fluttered on Li Liang's chest, Dad, Dad! Li Liang really opened his eyes, our baby son is so cute, let's kiss the little boy's face, in the distance, Chenchen smiled like a flower.
Suddenly, he felt the earth shake and an earthquake, and then a cry came from his ears: "Liangzi, wake up, get up!
This is the voice of my sister Li Meng, they made an appointment last night to go to the restaurant together today.
It turned out to be a dream, two years after marrying Chenchen in his previous life, Chenchen gave birth to a big fat boy for himself, at that time Li Meng had been paralyzed for a few years and had died, and the depressed mother Wang Xiujuan gradually got out of the haggard nightmare because of the arrival of her grandson. This scene is really familiar, it seems to be the scene in a dream that happened on the grass of the park when he took Chenchen and his son to the provincial capital to play on his son's second birthday. I don't know if my son will come as promised in this life!
"Liangzi, what do you want? Get up quickly! Sister Zhang Jia is waiting for us outside!" Li Meng is wearing a white dress today, and the whole person is like a fairy descending to earth, bright and moving!
"Well, good!"
Li Liang spent two minutes brushing his teeth and washing his face, his sister cheered up the bicycle, Zhang Jia was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt of Ms. Chengliang today, and she was waiting at the gate of Li Liang's yard with a cart.
Li Meng pushed the car to leave the hospital first, and Li Liang resolutely stopped the sunspot from wanting to follow out, and locked the door with difficulty. The three of them were ready to eat in the store, and when Chen Chunhua went out in the morning, Zhang Jia told her mother that she would go to the store today, and Chen Chunhua would make breakfast for everyone in the store later.
"Sister, it's not convenient for you to wear a skirt today, I'll take you on a bicycle!" Li Liang said when he saw that he was wearing a skirt.
"Good!"
When I came to the restaurant, Chen Chunhua had already made breakfast, Zhang Meng, Chen Run, and Chen Li, the three brothers and sisters, were drinking porridge, and when they saw Zhang Jia, Li Meng and Li Liang coming in, Zhang Meng hurriedly served three bowls of porridge to the three of them, and drank two large bowls of side dishes such as fried meat with dried radish and shredded mustard.
After breakfast, Zhang Jia and Li Meng helped the Chen Run sisters to clean today's vegetables, Zhang Meng went to the open space behind the kitchen to chop firewood, this time the business was too good, Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu helped chop firewood when it opened, and the firewood that Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu helped to chop was almost used up. There were a lot of people here, Li Liang was about to go to Chenchen to play, and was about to go out, when he saw a young man in his thirties walking into the lobby of the restaurant.
"Are you eating?" Li Liang asked, "We don't have breakfast here for the time being!"
"No, I'm looking for Sister Chunhua!" said the young man.
"Auntie, someone is looking for you!" Li Liang shouted.
Hearing Li Liang's call, Chen Chunhua walked out of the kitchen, saw someone coming, and said, "It's Pingcheng, have you had breakfast?"
The young man's name is Hu Pingcheng, who is also from Huanggang Village, more than 10 years younger than Chen Chunhua, and wears patched clothes, but they are very clean. They are the only family in the village, and it is said that they came to Huanggang Village where his father's generation fled the famine. His family has a small population and is an outsider, so he is more ostracized in the village, and his life is average.
"I've eaten, Sister Chunhua, I'm here to find you something!" Hu Pingcheng said, "Sister Chunhua, I heard Sister-in-law Xiulan say that you are going to build a row of shops here for rent, I don't know if there is such a thing!"
It turned out that he came to inquire about renting a shop, Li Liang was not in a hurry to find Chenchen, he found a place to sit down, and listened to the conversation between Hu Pingcheng and Chen Chunhua!
"Is there such a thing, Pingcheng, do you want to open a store like this, what kind of store are you going to open?" asked Chen Chunhua.
"Sister Chunhua, my father knows how to make iron, I have also learned some since I was a child, and I usually occasionally help the villagers make farm tools at home, but the business of the people in the village is limited, I think it would be better to open a shop here!" Hu Pingcheng said.
"Pingcheng, this is a good idea! Several villages around us here are far away from the H county seat of Wei Town, and it is not convenient to repair anyone's farm tools and iron pots if they are broken, so you can help a lot of people by opening a shop here!" Chen Chunhua agreed.
Hu Pingcheng scratched his head honestly and said, "Sister Chunhua, that's what I think, but I don't know how to rent your store here?"
"Pingcheng, I'm going to set the rent at 60 yuan a year, an average of 5 yuan a month, but I have to pay it all at once!" Chen Chunhua said.
"5 yuan a month is not expensive, but this one-time payment~~~" Hu Pingcheng hesitated. His family has a small population and a small income, and the food in the village will be enough for him to eat, and if he doesn't usually use his iron-making skills to make some money at home, this 60 yuan is a lot of money.
Chen Chunhua saw Hu Pingcheng hesitating, and then said: "Pingcheng, sister can't help it, it costs a lot of money to buy land from the village, and it costs a lot of money to build a store." I set a rent of 60 yuan a year, and it will take at least several years to earn back. ”
"Sister Chunhua, why don't I go home and discuss, but you can keep one of this store for me for the time being, and I'll call you back tomorrow!" Hu Pingcheng couldn't make up his mind, and was worried that the store would be robbed by others, so he said to Chen Chunhua after consideration.
"Okay, Pingcheng, you go back and discuss with your family, and my sister will leave you for a day!" Chen Chunhua agreed.
Hu Pingcheng came and went quickly, and left in a hurry after speaking.
"Auntie, do you want me to draw up a rental agreement for you, looking at this posture, it is estimated that someone will come to book a room today!" Li Liang asked.
"Okay, yes, you should sign an agreement. I hadn't thought of the agreement before, so I'll leave this matter to you!" Chen Chunhua said.
Li Liang came to Chenchen's grandmother's house alone, and there was no one in the courtyard, only Taotao and Junjie were sleeping lazily in the wing. Li Liang entered the wing room on the left and woke Zhang Junjie up: "Junjie, where is your sister?"
Zhang Junjie rubbed his eyes and said in a daze: "Brother Liang, I don't know!"
Taotao next to him also woke up and said, "I seem to have heard my grandmother say last night that I was going to dig sweet potatoes in the field today, maybe Sister Chenchen and Sister Yunyun also followed!" Chen Yun is Taotao's cousin, Chen Huahan's youngest daughter, 13 years old this year, one year older than Taotao.
Li Liang didn't have anything to do with Chenchen, just habitually asked, since he was not at home, he asked Taotao: "Taotao, do you have any unused homework books, take one and write something for me?"
"Yes, in my bag, that's it!" Tao Tao said, pointing to a blue worn school bag on the table.
Li Liang found a blank homework book from Taotao's schoolbag, took a ballpoint pen, sat down at the table, and began to write the lease agreement for the store.
