Chapter 2 Li Xiaotong rents a house

My sister-in-law and Li Tong and I were packed up by his parents and sent to their newly purchased house in HN. The new house www.biquge.info is very large, with three bedrooms and one living room, and the house is empty, so we start cleaning as soon as we arrive, buying furniture and all kinds of soft furnishings. I think her parents won't come for a while, so I'll stay with my sister-in-law for a while, and when her parents come, I'll go out and rent a house by myself. After some hectic work, the house finally had a home appearance, and I was really tired at night, so I found a room to sleep in. The next morning, my sister-in-law was waiting to talk to me at the door of my room. "These three houses, one for me, one for my brother, one for my parents, and one for each family, there is a storage room of more than 10 square meters on the first floor of each house, you can live there first." I was a little confused when I heard this, probably because the ignorant eyes made her feel too obvious. He explained to me, "You can't go out and rent a house, it's going to make the people in our yard laugh at my parents." (I forgot to explain, her parents are from the HN Tropical Research Institute, and the house in Haikou was sold to them by the institute's internal market.) My sister-in-law lives in his parents' house and wants to give her parents living expenses, I went to Danzhou for a month, and my brother paid another 500 yuan for her parents' living expenses. However, the total price of the house was more than 50,000 yuan at the time, and my father gave 30,000 yuan. These are all things that I heard from my brother later. )

Since you can't go out and rent a house to live, let's be honest and obedient. I obediently moved downstairs. The floor of the downstairs storage room is cement, the quality of the cement is not very good, and there is a great smell of burnt lime in the house. The ground is also very uneven, low inside and high outside, water pours into the house, if it is sunny, fortunately, there is no way to live in the house when it rains. What to do? I can't count on anyone in my current state, so let's be self-reliant. I started walking around the neighborhood to see what I could use. After a few days of spinning like this, I really found a way. Where is the newly built community, the house has been built, the greening project outside the community has not been completed, and there is a lot of cement and yellow sand on the road. I ran home to my sister-in-law and asked for a bucket, took the toy shovel that Li Tong used to shovel sand, and went to rub the cement. The bucket is very small, but the cement is heavy, a small bucket of cement, more than 200 meters away, I took 4 or 5 breaks to get home. At that time, when I was shoveling cement, I didn't realize that this thing couldn't be taken casually, so I didn't say hello to those in charge. The person in charge of greening probably took my actions as a joke as well, I walked in front and he followed. I didn't even notice it. I got home and poured the cement before he showed up. Say, "How can you take our cement without saying hello?" "I didn't have much social experience at that time, and when I was scared, I got nervous. I don't know how to get better, my face turned red at that time. But I couldn't help but speak, so I pointed to the ground and said, "The house you have made is high on the outside and low on the inside, and the water seeps inside." I'm going to use a little cement, why don't you rebuild it for us?" When he saw that I was indeed more honest, he stopped scaring me and said, "Next time, bring cement and say hello to me." "One bucket of cement is definitely not enough, I have to ask for at least three barrels." He didn't expect me to be able to climb the pole, so he was stunned for a moment, and said unnaturally: "Tell me about the live cement, let him send you some." Without waiting for my thanks, he turned around and left. Alas, I'm afraid I'll make too many demands, so let them help me level the ground. But if someone sends me cement, I can really save a lot of effort, and I must make money if it is cheap, so I immediately ran to ask for cement. When I think about it now, I was really silly.

After picking up the cement once, the next day the educated retired professors began to say that I was an unqualified person and did not throw the garbage in the trash can at night. As soon as this rumor came out, my sister-in-law came to me, "Where did you leave the garbage last night?" "I didn't throw out the trash yesterday, didn't we go out for a walk together last night?" Didn't you carry the garbage bag? "Well, they say you don't care about hygiene, just throw the garbage out of the trash can." I was speechless. Ignore her. I have more important things to do. I found out that a new campus is being built near the new house, and it should be promising to be a student business. I watched it for a few more days and thought it worked. I was a bit of a man of action, and I did it when I thought of it. When my brother came back from the city on Saturday, I talked to him about opening a grocery store in the storage room. Is it feasible? He didn't know how to discuss it with my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law agreed, and didn't ask me for rent, so she let me do it. Now that they think about it, maybe they think: they don't have to pay anyway. When I'm done tossing my money, I can go back to the Northeast. So they all agree on what I do, and I don't care.

In this way, I went to the thrift market to find two shelves, rented a truck, and went to the Haidian Island Department Store Wholesale Market to wholesale goods. At that time, I was a stupid white sweet, except for a 20,000 yuan in hand, I had no knowledge, when I wholesaled toothpaste, people asked me how many you wanted, I said I wanted a box, at that time I didn't think that such a small store should do less and all. When will a large box of toothpaste be sold out? So I opened the shop in a daze. Selling some daily necessities, there is a turnover of more than 100 miles a day, and the grandmothers in the community have also found a topic to talk about, whether they buy anything or not, they will go around my place. The small shop is very lively. The store was open for more than 10 days, and I didn't dare to tell my parents that I lived in a small storage room, and I didn't go out to look for a job. One day my mother called to find me, and my sister-in-law answered the phone, and I didn't know how to tell my mother, but my mother insisted that I go upstairs to answer the phone. It's been more than one and a half months since I arrived at HN, and I contacted my family once when I first arrived at HN. As soon as I picked up the phone, I didn't say anything, and suddenly I became sentimental, and tears couldn't stop flowing. My mother told me to speak, and I couldn't say it at that time. When my mother heard me crying, she was anxious and asked me to go back to the Northeast. I said, "I'm doing well, I just miss them." Don't worry. "How can I let you live in the storage room after a good life," "yes, is my sister-in-law a pig-like teammate?" It is estimated that she thinks it is normal for her sister-in-law to live in the storage room, and the cultural difference between the north and the south is still very big. "Whether you go out to rent a house to live in, or go back to the Northeast, you choose." "Okay, okay, you can retire with peace of mind, leave me alone, I can do it myself. In the evening, I asked my brother to come back, and I went to live in the city. "Hey! I finally coaxed my mother, and I was shocked into a cold sweat behind my back.
