Chapter 24: A New Home
Due to the fact that there were many things in the fields, Sister Hu could not accompany Fan Jin to Guangzhou, so she only sent Fan Jin to the entrance of the village with Fan's mother and the villagers of Xiaofanzhuang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info villagers waved their hands, encouraging Fan Jin's morale, although the county test is only the first pass of the third pass, but in the eyes of the villagers of Xiaofanzhuang, this is a sign of a talented person in the village. As long as this pass passes, the next pass must be unimpeded, and your good days are coming.
When Fan came in near the city gate, from a distance, he saw Liang Pandi, who was wearing a blue jacket and skirt, standing on the side of the road and couldn't stop looking. She obviously cleaned up with her heart today, and she also applied some fat powder to her face, but because of sweating, she washed the fat powder down for a few points, so she had to use a handkerchief to wipe it.
The wooden hairpin sent by Fan is inserted in a very conspicuous position, and it can be seen at a glance. Her hair quality is much better than that of Sister Hu, her hair is jet black, very shiny, and with that hairpin, it is very moving.
Her eyesight was good, she saw Fan Jin from a distance, grabbed it in three or two steps, and went to pick up his bookcase, and said while answering: "This Fan Zhuang is also a person, how can you let a scholar carry such a heavy thing." You are a scholar, and you can't endure hardships, so let me carry it for you. ”
"Third sister, you're welcome, I'm not weak, you also taught me boxing, how can it be so unhelpful. What, don't do business today? ”
"Guan Qing Gu Bai can just socialize there, and you don't have to do it every day, I'll take you into the city first, and then I'll stay."
She led the way, and Fan Jin followed her into the city, passing through a few streets and alleys, and then got into a rather quiet alley. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the streets, it seems to be another world, with no pedestrians and no shops. Occasionally, a few residents walked out of their homes and saw the two approaching, but they only turned sideways to give way, and did not say anything superfluous.
"Just like you said, when it comes to the county test, it's not easy to rent a house in the city. Especially after the county exam, there is the government exam and the hospital exam, and some rich people simply rent a yard in the city for a long time to prepare for the exam. Even a few temples in the city are full of people rushing to take the exam, so I had to go to my brother-in-law, who is still familiar with him, and found you this small courtyard to live in. It's a little far away from the county school, but fortunately, it's clean, and it's convenient for you to read your books. When it's time for the exam, the third sister comes to wake you up and make sure you can't make a mistake. ”
This courtyard is indeed a veritable small courtyard, smaller than the Fan family's own house, with only three rooms, one light and two dark, plus a kitchen. In the courtyard there is a well covered with a heavy stone slab. I don't know how long this courtyard has been abandoned, as soon as I opened the lock and went in, I saw the courtyard full of dead branches and leaves, all kinds of garbage, and an old tree that had long since died, as if it was a long-dead guard, guarding this courtyard alone.
Liang Pandi was a little surprised, probably she didn't know the situation here, looked at it a few times, and smiled at Fan Jin, "I'm sorry, my sister didn't know it was like this, but it doesn't matter, look at my sister." As he spoke, he rolled up his cuffs and said to Fan Jin:
"Jin Zai, you find a place to stay first, the third sister will clean up, and you can live in it when it gets dark." She ran out in a hurry, and after a short time, she got a big broom and a feather duster out of nowhere, swept the garbage in the courtyard out like an autumn wind, and took a duster to clean the house.
There was no furniture in the room, only some bulky tables and chairs, I think the owner was too lazy to move, and it was also full of dust. Fan Jin ignored Liang Pandi's dissuasion, snatched the duster from her hand, swept up the dust everywhere, and the two of them coughed incessantly.
"Ahem...... Cough...... You are really, how can a big man do housework...... cough ......" Liang Pandi coughed while going to grab the duster, but Fan Jin refused to give it to her.
"As I said earlier, women are the same as men, and no one is born to do housework. Cough...... I can do it myself......"
When the dust in the room was swept away, Fan Jin couldn't stay anymore, and Liang Pandi both ran to the courtyard, looked at each other a few times, and then laughed together.
"You little scholar, you should do your studies in the study, it's not okay to clean up the housework, look at what it looks like now. I just came here last night to take a look, but I didn't come in, otherwise I'd have packed up. Don't blame the third sister for being useless. ”
"Third sister, what is this called? In the city of Guangzhou now, who can help me find a house except you? I already owe you a lot of favors, how dare you pick and choose. How much is this house a day, I'll give it to you. ”
Liang Pandi sank his face, "If you say that, I'll be angry." Between us, what else do you think of yours and mine? You just rest assured, study hard, and in the future, you will be famous and glorious to your ancestors, and my face will be bright. A few days' house money and meal money, my sister can still take care of it. ”
When Fan Jin saw her turn her face, he couldn't talk about paying anymore, so he had to talk about the house. Liang Pandi looked around, pulled Fan Jin's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "This house was rented by the second brother-in-law's favor, and the rent price is also cheap, but there is also one, you go to bed early at night, don't go out and walk around at will." I heard that there are ghosts in this courtyard, so if you come out at night to make trouble, don't scare you. ”
"Third sister, you didn't come in last night because there were ghosts? In my opinion,This ghost is also very timid.,Don't dare to come out during the day.,Only come out at night to make trouble.,I don't know if it's a male ghost or a female ghost.,It's good if it's a female ghost.,It's lonely to read at night.,There's a female ghost with you to pass the time.。 ”
Although Liang Pandi has martial arts, he has been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, which Fan Jin has known for a long time. Now when I hear her talk about ghosts, I can't help but joke about it. She spat twice in a row, "Bah, don't talk nonsense, how can this kind of thing be used as a joke." If it really makes trouble, how can it happen? I'll tell you, this is not a joke, I heard that this is a large family's courtyard, but this son said that he was studying here, and he didn't know how, and a girl who served him threw herself into the well. The reason why the well was covered was because I was worried that the dead ghost would come out and harm people. But it didn't work, it is said that the ghost could open the stone slab every night and go back during the day. The son-in-law didn't dare to live in it, and the house was empty. Whether this is credible or not, it is not allowed to talk nonsense, and it is not allowed to run around at night, so as not to fall into the well. ”
She chattered for a long time, and the ashes in the room almost fell, Fan Jin went in to clean it again, and Liang Pandi checked to see what was wrong in the room. This yard has been deserted for a long time, and there are too many poor things in accommodation, even if you only live for a few days, you can't do it, so you have to buy them one by one.
Examination baskets, copper chos, trumpet tops, door curtains, stoves, candle holders, candle scissors, roll bags. Looking at these things in front of him, Fan Jin was a little confused.
"Third sister, the county test is only one day, not even at night, what are you doing with these things?"
"You don't understand, these are the ones you used in your township test. If you study well, you will definitely be able to show off your talents, and then you will have to take the exam. When it comes to the township test, everyone will have to buy these things, and those profiteers will increase their prices. Take advantage of the cheap to buy it now, and you won't have to be slashed by them when the time comes, you don't understand this kind of business. ”
Fan Jin had already cleaned up the room at this time, standing at the door and wiping his sweat while talking. The red sun was drooping, shining on his sweaty face, Liang Pandi stood at the head of the door with his baggage, and he was stupid for a while. A very absurd thought arose in my mind: this scene seemed to be a couple from afar, who were here to be people......
