Chapter 60: Rent three courtyards
Xia Qing, who quickly took back the sovereignty of the house, breathed a sigh of relief, these ancients were sincere and simple!
"This bridge ......"
"Miss Xia, please rest assured, this is only temporary, I let the disciple do the mechanism at the head of the bridge, and after we leave, this bridge will become a pontoon bridge, fixed on this side, just pull the boat under the bridge deck, you can put it in, however, the girl still has to buy a few strong family members, otherwise it will ......"
"That's easy to say......" Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The shopkeeper Liang also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it was really the house that the little Taoist bought for this girl.
I looked at the new house, and sure enough, it was the same as the model, and it didn't look like cutting corners, and Mama knew a lot, and checked the quality of the bricks and tiles on the spot: "Girl, this brick and tile are not bad." The wood is solid, too. ”
Xia Qing was happy, and after expressing her gratitude to Village Chief Feng, who supervised the work for herself, she said that she would rent a small courtyard, live there for a month, and move when "Pear Blossom Dock" was repaired.
"What 'Pear Blossom Dock'? It's all cherry blossom trees, so let's do it! Pointing to the cherry tree that had lost its leaves, Village Chief Feng was very serious.
"But I bought more pear trees!" Xia Qing, who took the wrong name for her yard, did not admit her mistake, and she used strong words, Village Chief Feng is a good man and does not fight with women, besides, this is a little girl's house, even if it is named "Peach Blossom Dock", it has nothing to do with herself. The name Lihuawu is much better than Lihe Dam, and the village chief decided not to bother with it.
Rent a yard, Xia Qing picked the empty yard of the recent "Pear Blossom Dock" and rented it, the small courtyard is surrounded by three rooms, a hall, a bedroom, and a canteen that is actually a stove room and a dining hall. Fortunately, the room is large enough. The floor was clean, and the walls were painted with white plaster. The stove is there, but the rest is gone! Including the legendary earth kang, earth dragon and the like. The three of them lived temporarily for a month, and the hall was completely unnecessary, so one was for Xia Qing to live, and one for the grandmother and the two girls. Eat or something, it's in the dining hall next to the stove.
"This courtyard is too small, it only costs 200 wen a month. This is a price unique to the villagers of this village. "Village Chief Feng unexpectedly did not show his greed for money.
200 Wen, rent three empty houses with four walls, but,
"Okay, village chief, there is no furniture or anything, my luggage is stored in the inn in front, why don't you ask Master Liang for a favor?" Xia Qing didn't bother Master Liang much, but asked him to send someone to inform the wooden shopkeeper to pick up some furniture and send it for himself.
I ordered a lot of furniture from the brother-in-law of the shopkeeper Liang, and I may not be able to get it all, but a bed and two tables should be able to be taken out quickly. Master Liang on the side listened to the reason, and immediately packed the ticket, there must be! casually pointed to an apprentice beside him, went to inform the wooden shopkeeper, picked up the important bed, table, and quickly moved a set to use. In particular, there are three beds, one step bed and three shelf beds.
This matter is solved, it's the matter in front of this eye, in the yard, there are a lot of things that need to be cleaned up,
The cook and Zhuang Niang want to fetch water to clean the windows and do hygiene, but they don't have any tools. The village chief said to wait, and walked to the outside of the courtyard, but less than half a moment, Gong Boss took his own lady Wang Shi to carry a bucket, carrying a wooden basin for laundry, and two new brooms, and two pieces of cloth came, seeing this, Xia Qing thanked this Gong Niang, the time was still early, so he arranged for the cook to clean up the yard with Zhuang Niang, and took his mother to carry the luggage.
Gong's sister-in-law, Wang, naturally rolled up her sleeves and helped with the work. This Xia girl looks good, and she wants to get close to her in vain, and she has many friends and multiple paths.
The dirt ground is not satisfactory, which also reminds Xia Qing of what standard is the ground in her yard house? Let's talk about this later!
After only an hour of going out, Xia Qing and Mama came over with three big mule carts, pulling full of things, large and small boxes, half a bag of rice noodles, buckets, basins and other utensils that they could see. Piled high, the mule driver piled things in a corner of the yard, took the money and left.
Xia Qing walked into the courtyard with the dollar in her hand, and Village Chief Feng's eyes lit up.
"Is this the Dao Chief's kitten?"
"My kitten, the Taoist will watch it for me for two days!" When Mei Jin saw Xia Qing go to the space to move things, he bit Xia Qing's skirt and said nothing, until Xia Qing put it on the outer box and let go, Mei Mei didn't like to stay in the space, and he didn't like to see the owner.
After Mama came back, the house was more organized, opened a box and took some window paper out, took Zhuang Niang and the cook to start pasting the windows, hanging curtains, seeing that others had a lot of things to do, the village chief said goodbye and left, before leaving, he said that he would send some rice noodles and vegetables for a while:
"Looks like you're going to start a gang, right? If you don't open it, you can't do it, except for going to the village to build a fire, there is no restaurant in the village! ”
"Naturally, we have to make our own dinner, so we have to bring rice and noodles over,"
"Come to the village for the first meal, how can you not congratulate you, don't worry, leave it to me!" The village chief looked around and walked away with his hands behind his back, Xia Qing looked at his back, and felt a little old-fashioned. Pouting means no evaluation.
Xia Qing couldn't intervene in housework, and her grandmother didn't allow her to do it, so she had to hold the dollar and watch from the side. Dressed up as a shelf of a young lady, he opened the box, and soon hung up the curtains, measured the place where the bed was placed, and hung up the curtains of several partition walls. There are three beds in the room at the very end, separated by curtains from each other, and there should be a private space, as for Xia Qing's room in the middle, there is also a full-top curtain in front of the bed, and an Arhat couch is placed on one side, and a round table is placed in the middle of the room. The furniture was not delivered, and it did not prevent everyone from hanging everything that could be hung.
In the afternoon, before the time, the apprentice of the Liang shopkeeper brought the furniture to the wooden shopkeeper, the wooden shopkeeper is a quick hand and foot, received the letter, and let the apprentice take the mule cart to send a set of common furniture and three shelf beds over, small shelf beds, more than enough to sleep one person. The wide Luohan couch, the large round table used in the hall, six embroidered stools, and two large dining tables for the eight immortals. Equipped with four stools. Coat hangers, screens, dressing platforms. Four-door wardrobe for two. The driver who drove the car was actually part-time, professional carpenter, and the four carpenters were quick with their hands and feet, and soon pulled out the step bed and installed it in place. The table frame of the round table is placed in the position designated by the grandmother, the table is safe, the screen is blocked, the Luohan couch is placed on one side by the window, and the wardrobe is placed on the other side. The main house is complete, one set of eight immortal tables is put into the stove room, one set is placed in the bedroom on the side, and the time for the installation of three shelf beds is shorter than the time for one of the stepping beds. In just half an hour, all kinds of furniture were properly placed, and there was nothing to do.
"The shopkeeper said, use these first, and then send the bookcase tomorrow!"
"Then thank you, these furniture are enough today, the little brother will go back and ask the shopkeeper Ming'er to send a cupboard over!"
