In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the area that Namoyi was referring to.

Hearing her shouting to stop, Li Le asked Xu Changqing to find a place to park the car, and then everyone got out of the car one after another.

"I only know that there is a house to rent here, but I can't guarantee whether I can rent it."

Looking at the sincerity revealed in the little girl's blue eyes as bright as jewels, Li Le also showed a kind smile, "It's okay, you can take us over to have a look, if not, forget it." ”

"Hmmm! Let's go, then. ”

Most of the doors in the street were open at this time, and Namoyi led Li Le through one by one, talking to the owner. Sometimes Li Le can understand their conversation, sometimes he doesn't.

However, looking at Namoyi's expression, it is obviously not particularly successful.

For more than an hour, several people walked from the street to the end of the street, but still did not find a house.

After the last conversation, Namoyi said to Li Le with an apologetic expression: "Their houses have basically been rented out, and all the people who come here are long-term customers, all of whom are merchants who do jade business on Jiamai Road. If you want to rent a house, you may have to go to a farther place, or wait for this time. ”

Hearing his words, Li Le was also slightly disappointed. It was close to the jade trading market, and it was the most ideal place to rent a house, but he couldn't force this situation now, so he said, "Let's go!" We'll send you back first, and then we'll look somewhere else. ”

After getting in the car, probably feeling a little sorry for not helping, Namoi sat there a little sullen.

Seeing her like this, Li Le smiled at her, "Don't worry, you can come with us, we are already very grateful to you." ”

The little girl raised her head and looked at Li Le's smile, but she was still not happy. After struggling for a while, he seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly said: "Actually, my house can be rented to you to live in, but it is a little simple inside, and I don't know your habits of not being able to live there." Why don't I show you first? ”

Hearing this, Li Le still disagreed, so he nodded and said okay.

Namoyi's home is closer to the jade trading market than it is now, just turn the street away, and it doesn't take a few minutes to walk, which can be said to be extremely convenient. It doesn't matter if it's simple, it's just a place to live, and if it doesn't work, he can add some furniture himself, which is the ideal place.

Seeing Li Le nodding, the little girl immediately smiled, and then the few people returned to the street and turned the car back.

Back in the small shop again, Namoyi got out of the car first, and then said to Li Le: "You wait here first, I'll go and discuss it with my grandmother, and it will be fine in a while." ”

After saying that, the little girl ran in quickly, and in about three minutes, she came out of it. There was a happy look on her face, apparently her grandmother agreed.

"Let's go inside, I'll show you the room."

Walking into the courtyard, the surrounding walls are full of messy and mottled marks, which looks a little dilapidated. The whole courtyard is square, and there is a deep front porch. Although it is old, it is very spacious, and it is clear that a lot of effort and money have been spent in the past.

As for why it is so dilapidated now, Li Le can't help but have some doubts.

As she walked, the little girl introduced Li Le: "This is the room where my grandmother and I live, and there are three other spare rooms, you can stay." But it's been vacant for a long time, so I need to clean it up. ”

When I opened the door of a room, it was a little cluttered and some miscellaneous items were placed inside. However, the lighting is OK and relatively ventilated. There are also niches carved into the surrounding walls, which are decorated with characteristic ornaments.

"The other two rooms are similar to here, do you think it's okay?"

Li Le nodded slightly, although such a house is simple, but after cleaning up and adding some decorative furniture, it is also comfortable to live in, the key is that the lighting is better, and there is no sense of darkness, which is what he prefers.

"What do you think?" Li Le turned around and asked a few people behind him, he was more satisfied, but he still had to follow the opinions of Ran Hongling, Hu Shu and others, Xu Changqing He was not worried, with his casual temperament, he could adapt anywhere.

It's just that Ran Hongling and Hu Shu have followed him so far, and he will never wronged the two of them in terms of life.

Hearing Li Le's culture, Hu Shu opened his mouth first, "It's okay, just clean up, there's no need to be so particular about where you live." ”

Then Li Le looked at Ran Hongling, and when he saw that she also nodded, he said to Na Moyi: "We have rented these three houses, how much do you think a month?" ”

Seeing Li Le talking about the problem of money, the little girl seemed a little embarrassed, and after a long time, she popped out with a sentence, "Either you decide." ”

Li Le couldn't help but laugh a little, the little girl had obviously never experienced such a thing, with his kind nature, he must be a little embarrassed to mention money.

After thinking for a while, Li Le said to the little girl: "In this way, you see that we live here, can we give you 15,000 a month?" "Three rooms, in such an era, five hundred a room is definitely a lot, and Li Le also said such a price after thinking about it.

"One thousand five? No, no, it's too high! Five hundred a month is enough. When the little girl heard this, she immediately shook her head, and the price dropped by a thousand in an instant.

"It's just one thousand and five, we are very satisfied with these three houses, and besides, the price is not high."

"Not really, too much. This house is not cleaned up, and it is relatively simple, and I can't ask you so much. ”

……

After more than half an hour, the little girl refused to accept as much as one thousand and five thousand. Later, it was Ran Hongling who persuaded her, and in the end, the little girl was only willing to collect 8,000 a year, and she didn't do anything more.

For such a sincere girl, Li Le doesn't know what to say, there are really few people in this world who can take out the money in their purse.

took out 10,000 yuan in cash from the money bag and gave it directly to the little girl.

After the little girl took over, she counted them, and after a while, she handed Li Le a stack of banknotes, "You gave two thousand more." ”

"Take it! Ten thousand is already cheap. ”

The little girl shook her head very seriously, "No, if you say eight thousand, eight thousand is eight thousand, I can't ask for more from you." ”

Looking at his resolute appearance, Li Le knew that if he shirked it again, this girl would definitely not want it, so he put it away.

Anyway, I want to live here for a long time in the future, and I usually have to be kind to the little girl.

When tidying up the house, the little girl was busy helping Li Le and them. The weather was still a little cold at this time, but after slowly cleaning out the debris, everyone was sweating.

Looking at the little girl wiping the sweat from her forehead, her face shining with enthusiasm and happiness, Li Le only felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"You can rest, we'll get the rest."

Hearing Li Le's words, the sister-in-law smiled sweetly at her, "It's okay, there are too many things here, and there are still some that need to stay, I'll help you faster." ”

Rolled up the sleeves that had slipped a little, the little girl's white arms were already black with dust. But she was still smiling happily, and she was there to pack up her clutter little by little.

It took nearly a morning to clean up the three houses with the concerted efforts of the five people. Although their hands and faces were dark, they were neat and clean when they looked at the bright sunlight entering the room. Several people looked at each other and smiled.

"Li Le, go wash up, you see you're about to become a boss."

Listening to Hu Shu's teasing, Li Le also immediately replied: "Your face is not much better, you are called half a catty laughing eight taels!" ”

"I'll take you to wash, there's water over there." The little girl couldn't help laughing when she saw everyone's appearance, and then led everyone to a pressurized water well in the corner of the courtyard. Then he began to shake the handle, took a bucket of water, and asked everyone to wash it.

After cleaning up, Hu Shu said, "Li Le, I'm a little hungry, shall we go get something to eat at noon?" ”

"Okay, let's go out together, and we can eat whatever we want."

"Don't go out, rest here for a while, and I'll cook for you." Hearing that they were going out to eat, the little girl hurriedly said loudly, and then prepared to leave to get food for Li Le and them.

However, when she turned around, she was grabbed by Ran Hongling's arm, "You've been busy all morning, and you're tired, don't go get it." We go out for a meal at noon, and you call your grandmother and follow us. ”

"No need, it's a waste of money to eat out, it won't take long for me to cook food for you, just a while!"

Hearing this, Ran Hongling didn't talk to her anymore, she also saw that the life of the little girl and her grandmother was not particularly good, but her heart was extremely kind and simple, and she had to be entangled for a long time after persuasion, so Ran Hongling simply pulled the little girl directly, and then took the lead and walked out.

The little girl wanted to break free, but it was useless to struggle a few times, and then she reluctantly gave up. "Sister Ran, I'll just go with you, you let me go."

Ran Hongling immediately let go of her hand, and then said, "You go over and call your grandmother too!" ”

The little girl nodded and ran away, while Li Le and the others also stopped and waited for her.

After a while, I saw her running back alone, "Sister Ran, my grandmother wants to see the store, so she won't go with us, I'll just bring her something to eat later." ”

"Alright, let's go, just pack some things later."

Everyone walked out of the store one after another, and when they saw Grandma Namoyi, the old man smiled kindly at everyone.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Li Le asked the little girl to order some of her favorite dishes, but she shook her head and was reluctant to order.

After Li Le ordered a few dishes, he gave the menu to several other people and asked them to order whatever they wanted.

While waiting for the food to be served, Li Le asked the little girl, "I see that you and your grandmother are the only ones living in your house, and your parents are working outside?" ”

Seeing Li Le ask this, the little girl's expression suddenly looked a little sad, "I am an orphan, my grandparents are my parents, I was picked up by them, but the age gap is big, they have asked me to call my grandparents since I was a child." ”

Hearing this, Li Le also said very apologetically: "I'm sorry, I accidentally mentioned your sadness, we won't talk about this." ”

"It's okay, I just thought of my grandfather, who passed away three years ago. He was very nice to me and I miss him a lot. ”

Ran Hongling listened to what happened to the little girl, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, and gently held the little girl's hand to comfort her.

The little girl also rested her head lightly on Ran Hongling's shoulder, but her big blue eyes contained infinite thoughts.

After a while, the little girl didn't seem to want her emotions to affect everyone, so she began to find another topic, "Brother Li, are you here to do business?" ”

After a few people mixed up all morning, the little girl was already familiar with everyone's names, all of them were shouting from her brothers and sisters, and she looked very well-behaved.

Seeing her ask, Li Le said, "Hmm! I came here to do the jade business. ”

"The jade business? My grandfather used to be a jade picker, and he became famous in this area. ”

This made Li Le a little surprised, but he didn't expect the little girl's grandfather to be a jade picker. He could also think of how that courtyard came about, as a jade picker, and a relatively famous jade picker, such a courtyard was more than enough for him.

But at the same time, Li Le couldn't help but wonder why the little girl and her grandmother were living so poorly now. From the little girl's frugal behavior, it is obvious that the two are not doing well.

Even if her grandfather passed away, Li Le believed that the old man would definitely leave some inheritance for the two of them, and it would not end up like this.

But the current situation is obviously a bit unreasonable, but at this time, although Li Le is puzzled, he will not ask. After all, this belongs to someone else's**, only bring it to contact slowly in the future, and then ask about these things after you are slowly familiar with it.

While Li Le was thinking, the ordered meal also began to come up. He asked the waiter to get the dishes and chopsticks first, and sandwiched some of the dishes. Knowing that the little girl shouted that her grandmother couldn't eat so much, Li Le stopped the chopsticks, and then packed the dishes to avoid getting cold.

After packing, everyone began to be unceremonious, and shook off their cheeks and began to eat. After a morning's work, she was a little hungry at this time, and even Ran Hongling couldn't care about the appearance of a lady, and she ate quite quickly.

But after eating for a while, everyone found that the little girl only knew the staple food there, but rarely ate the dishes.

Seeing this, Li Le couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, is the food unappetizing?" ”

"No, no, it's delicious."

"If it's delicious, you can eat more." After saying this, Li Le took out another pair of clean chopsticks, and then put the dish into the little girl's bowl. Let her keep shouting until her bowl is full.

Looking at the dishes that were almost piled up in the bowl, the little girl's eyes suddenly moistened, tears swirled in them, and then she raised her head and said to everyone: "You are so good to me! ”

"Okay, you called our brothers and sisters, that's our sister, here you are the youngest, you say it's not good for you, who is it for you? Hurry up and eat, don't wait for it to get cold. Ran Hongling saw that the little girl was about to cry, so she quickly touched her head and asked her to eat quickly.

The little girl lowered her head and ate one bite at a time, although she couldn't see her expression, but the occasional low tears made everyone's hearts feel a little distressed.

Such an environment, such an encounter, but still make this little girl as simple as a piece of jade, how rare it is.
