Chapter 48: The Ring
The atmosphere was silent for a while, but the oldest sister had better psychological adjustment ability, and she was the first to come back to her senses from the matter of rent, and she asked with a calm expression:
"So how is the rent calculated?"
"1000 shellfish yuan a month, what kind of expression do you have, ......, you won't run out of money, don't be kidding, Boss Ji...... Ah, I really don't have any money, it's too much,...... Otherwise, I'll make my own decision and make a 10% discount. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
900 Bei Yuan ......" The prince took a sip of tea with a smile, and his expression was a little sympathetic and casual, but the words were with guns and sticks, true and false, and there were needles hidden in the cotton.
"In fact, I've heard rumors that my naughty sisters-in-law used to let you live here for free before I came.
I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but this room is not wrong with our Wang family, every brick and tile is built by ourselves, you see, here is the real estate certificate, these bricks and tiles are still new this year.
However, since there are such rumors, I don't think it's groundless, your name is Jiqing, right, you are the oldest in the Ji family, you see how this plan is:
Here, there are 100 shells, give you three days, you move out immediately within three days, and the 100 shells are yours, even if I give you a settling-in fee.
On the contrary, as soon as the three days passed, I ...... It's time to start calculating the rent. ”
After Wang Ziqi left, Kira and Jiqing looked dazed. In fact, 900 shell dollars, Kira, who already has some savings, can still get it, but as soon as the rent is paid, they have nothing, and even eating has become a problem.
"Why don't we move out?"
Jiqing thought for a while, and finally made up his mind like this.
"That's all I have to say, I'll go to town tomorrow morning to see if there's any room available, and when I've negotiated the price, we'll move in together."
The next day, it was still early, and Kira braved the wind and snow, and walked to the center of the town, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Griffith put on a transparent raincoat cut and sewn up with oiled paper and walked the other way, while Jiqing prepared meals at home.
After a morning of searching to no avail, the two brothers returned on time for dinner. After eating and resting for a while, I set off again in the afternoon.
Griffith went to the town's only regular national hospital, and he listened to a sound with his ears sideways, and walked through the doors of the wards, either open or closed, until he finally stopped in front of a shabby, colorless, locked room.
It was the room of a severely depressed and violent patient, and the owner's name was Kong Fang, a woman in her early forties. When the woman was thirty-five years old, her son died because of his birth, and she became depressed and unhappy, and she had a tendency to self-destruct and destroy him.
Griffith stopped in front of the door and listened for a long time with his eyes closed.
But in the empty hospital corridor, except for the sound of the wind, there was not the slightest sound. Griffith listened, his expression becoming more and more focused, and then he couldn't help but shed tears.
He stepped forward and looked through the steel bars to see a woman dressed in plain gray lying on the bed, staring at the visitor with sparkling eyes.
"Is this what you want......
Mother? ”
Griffith's dry voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of the woman on the bed through the doorway, and she nodded with a crying expression, Griffith smiled and took a step back, backwards down the hallway, and finally disappeared into the vast snowstorm.
A few days later, the Shazhen Hospital found that the depressed and violent woman had completely degenerated into a madman, she had become a mental patient, and she was smirking happily at a colored pen drawing of a little boy that she had picked up from nowhere.
The boy in the painting is smiling happily with his mouth open, and it can be vaguely identified as a portrait of her dead son. Behind him was a modest house that was not luxurious, with a window open on the wall of the house, and in the window was a smiling cooking woman, who was Kong Fang.
This painting seems to have become Kong Fang's only spiritual comfort now, as long as she holds the scroll in her hand, the whole person is quiet and happy. But if the doctor took the scroll from his hand, Kong Fang would immediately become violent.
And what no one noticed was that on Kong Fang's finger, the ring that her husband gave when he got married, which represented the warmth of the family, disappeared without knowing when.
……
……
Three days later, Kira's family moved out of their original location.
Their new home is close to East Street, but it's a fairly secluded place away from the relatively bustling center.
The owner of this house is a local farmer, and the farmer is planted on the terraced fields in the mountains, and his life is neither rich nor poor.
There is a granary with an area of more than 40 square meters in the head of the family's house, and the grain harvested in autumn every year will be placed in it.
But this year, due to the floods across the country more than in previous years, the two families across the country generally rose by two floors, and the owner of the house thought of a rare opportunity to sell the grain in the granary. As a result, there is an empty room with a large area.
The day before yesterday, I happened to see Kira 'wandering' on the streets, and after careful questioning, I found out that he was going to rent a house. At that time, the owner of the house had an idea, thinking that although his granary was not a family building, it was better than a spacious place, he communicated with Kira a little, and happily agreed to the convenience.
As for the rent, it was set at 300 shellfish a month, which was not cheap or too expensive compared to the market price, and Kira thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
But the owner also said that this house can only be rented until next year's summer solstice at most, and after the summer solstice, he will use the granary to carry things.
Although there was no permanent solution to the housing problem, it was good to deal with the immediate difficulties, otherwise in two days, when the Wang family came to collect the house, the Ji family would only be able to sleep in the snow.
Kira is a person who knows his fate in Lotte, and solving the housing problem in a short period of time makes him feel that God is not thin on him, he returns home happily, announces the news, and the Ji family packs up the luggage to take away.
Wang Ziqi came again today, and he came to send 300 shell yuan. He heard that Kira had found a place to stay, and he came to say goodbye to the fact that he was going to move out.
All this was not out of his expectations, a few children the size of peas, intimidated themselves a few times, and then gave some sweetness, naturally obediently did what they wanted.
He greeted everyone warmly, said a few words with regret, and asked a few family members to help the Ji family carry the luggage. Li Ziqi is not a righteous gentleman, he is a person who loves to play tricks, this is a businessman's occupational disease, but he pretends to be a righteous gentleman, but he is decent and meticulous.
The luggage was packed for an afternoon, and Wang Ziqi patiently waited by the side for an afternoon, during which he didn't ask if he needed help or something like that, which moved a person like Kira who had unstable views, as if he had found a long-lost godfather.
After packing up, the prince Qiling family carried a few large boxes and a simple small bookcase towards the East Street, and he stood on the old site of the Kira Manshiya with a smile and waved goodbye to the Ji family.
However, the road was slippery, and before the man who carried the things had taken two steps, he was hit by the snow and ice under his feet, and he immediately fell. And the luggage on his back was not spared, and it fell to the ground with a 'bang' and scattered to the ground.
"Oh, be careful, you're not doing your own work, and if you fall, you fall. This is someone else's belonging, and if it is broken, it will be compensated. ”
Wang Ziqi's voice came from far and near, and he walked over as he spoke, with apologies on his face, and squatted down to clean up the things scattered on the ground.
He laughed and spoke as he picked up a gray woolen hat, patted off the snowflake blades on it, and put it back in the box.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all old stuff, it's not worth a few dollars, and it doesn't matter if it's broken. It's just us, it's a little unreasonable to trouble you to help move things for no reason. ”
Kira and Griffith crouched not far from him, both pouting in search of the scattered items, Kira holding a white vase-like porcelain in one hand and a brass ring just pulled out of the snow nest on the other.
He looked at the strange ring in confusion, trying to remember if there had ever been such a thing in his collection.
But he soon gave up, his adoptive father Ji Qingliang also opened a house of everything, and he collected a lot of strange things in his life, and there were a few antiques, and Kira couldn't completely liquidate it, and it was too normal to have a ring in many places.
He was just about to put the ring away, when he was stopped by Wang Ziqi next to him.
"Little Brother Ji, can you show me what you have in your hand?"
Of course, there is no problem with this kind of thing, Kira handed it over indifferently, and then, Wang Ziqi played with it for a while, and then returned the ring with a complicated face.
On the following journey, Wang Ziqi actually followed, he chatted with the head of the family for a while, carried Griffith through a rough distance, and when he was close to East Street, he said something casually:
"I don't know where Little Brother Ji's ring came from?"
"I don't know, maybe it's my father's legacy." Kira was a little unsure, and he glanced at Griffith to find some support, but the latter was yawning on Li Ziqi's shoulder, apparently drowsy.
"What your father left behind? It's no wonder.
Little Brother Ji, there are some things that I have hidden in my heart and have never told anyone. When I saw this ring today, I saw things and thought about people, and I don't know if Little Brother Ji would like to listen to a few words of nagging from me, a person who has already half of the ground. ”
