Chapter 65 Renting a Room
Steward Wang poured a cup of tea and poured it hard, moistening his throat, "That bachelor's name is Zhao Si, he had a daughter-in-law in his early years, and he had no children after three or four years of marriage. Later, after seeing the doctor, I learned that he was infertile, and his daughter-in-law had run away, so he didn't bother to look for it again, so as not to delay others. ”
I see, Tian Jiyao nodded.
"You say," Tian Jiyao unconsciously bent his fingers and knocked on the table, "Zhao Siken refused to rent the house to me." ”
Steward Wang thought for a while and nodded, "The possibility is still very large, I can bump into Zhao Si every time I buy beef and mutton, he often worries me that no one will provide for the elderly, if he can rent out the house, it is good, there is an income, he can save more pensions." ”
Tian Jiyao's eyes lit up, and someone sent a pillow when she was really sleepy.
It seems that God still favors her, except that the love road is a little bumpy.
Thinking of this, Tian Jiyao couldn't help but push the teacup, and the cups collided, making a crisp sound.
Steward Wang was startled by this, and his heart was stunned, and he asked cautiously: "The young grandmother and the young master quarreled." ”
"Nope." Tian Jiyao had a cold face.
This look looks like a quarrel, and the king is anxious, and he can't help complaining about Shen Yun.
The young grandfather is really, the young grandmother is such a good person, and she doesn't know how to cherish it.
Tian Jiyao understood in her heart how much the old man was concerned about their love life, and immediately changed the topic when Steward Wang just wanted to speak.
"Let's go to Zhao Si and discuss the matter of renting a house."
After listening to Steward Wang, no matter how much he said, he had to hide it in his chest, and the two of them went to find Zhao Si.
Tian Jiyao learned to be obedient this time, took an umbrella, and walked unhurriedly along the way, just as a casual distraction.
Zhao Si's home is in the village, which happens to be close to the Shen family's warehouse.
Tian Jiyao nodded secretly in her heart, and what she saw was a connected three-room tile house, one in front and two behind, which looked very old, thinking that it had been beaten by wind and rain for many years, but it was not broken.
Steward Wang knocked on the door of the front room first, and a lean, shirtless man came out.
Zhao Si rubbed his eyes, his voice was slightly hoarse, as if he had just woken up.
"Steward Wang, I just took a nap, what's the matter with you?"
Steward Wang was taken aback by his appearance, and hurriedly said, "Our young grandmother wants to see your house, what do you look like for the young grandmother to see." ”
Zhao Si was startled when he saw Tian Jiyao standing with a smile not far away, and his face turned red instantly.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I immediately went in to change clothes. ”
Zhao Si hurriedly closed the door and almost hit Steward Wang's nose.
"This reckless man......" Steward Wang shook his head, turned to look at Tian Jiyao, and pulled out a stiff smile, "Young grandmother, don't be surprised. ”
When the ordinary woman saw this scene, she probably turned her face and left on the spot, Tian Jiyao is not an indigenous, and she has never seen Xiao Xianrou in modern times.
Tian Jiyao shook his head in surprise, but became curious about Zhao Si.
After a while, Zhao Si pushed open the door and said continuously, "Two of you, please come in." ”
Tian Jiyao put the umbrella into the house, and Zhao Si was full of smiles, "Hello Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen is here to see the house, my house is handed down from my ancestors, but it's okay, I don't believe you look at this ......"
Zhao Si pulled her to look up and down the front and back houses, and said a lot, but Tian Jiyao didn't have a chance to interject.
Steward Wang's expression was a little embarrassed, and he kept pulling Zhao Si's sleeve to hint during the period, but Zhao Si was stunned, and he didn't react, but he still talked endlessly.
Tian Jiyao looked funny, this person has too much to say.
But this house is really good, several rooms are connected together, except for a few pieces of furniture in the room where Zhao Si lives alone, the other rooms are empty, it looks very spacious, and it must be able to store a lot of things.
Tian Jiyao nodded with satisfaction, "That's the case, I want to rent your house as a warehouse, and you can make a price." ”
Tian Jiyao said it arrogantly, but if the house was too expensive, she would have no money to rent.
These houses are better than what she has seen in other places, and Tian Jiyao is afraid that the price will be too high.
However, to Tian Jiyao's surprise, Zhao Si did not agree, but hesitated.
"That's right," Zhao Si pondered the words, "This house is my ancestral home......"
Everyone is an adult, how can they not hear the meaning of Zhao Si's words, it is nothing more than reluctance to rent.
Steward Wang couldn't help but speak, "The house is for the benefit of future generations, and it's a pity that it's useless for you to keep the empty house, so it's better to rent it to the young grandmother." ”
Zhao Si lowered his head and said nothing.
Tian Jiyao's delicate eyebrows twisted slightly, "I can pay half a tael of silver a month, and I can also take care of managing the warehouse, and the monthly money is fifteen yuan, do you think it's okay?" ”
"This ......" Zhao Si struggled, Tian Jiyao didn't urge him, and waited quietly.
I heard a rumbling outside, followed by the sound of dripping rain.
It was raining heavily, Tian Jiyao was shocked, it became too fast this day, fortunately she brought an umbrella.
I don't know if Shen Yun is at home or outside......
"Oops." Zhao Siyi slapped his thigh, turned around and took a basin from the shelf, and hurriedly walked back.
What's wrong?
Tian Jiyao and Steward Wang exchanged a puzzled look.
Tian Jiyao thought about it, but still followed.
I saw Zhao Si take the basin to the back room, there was a hole in the roof of the back room, the rain flowed down from it, the house was soaked with water, and there was no place to stand
Zhao Si smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”
Then the basin stirred up the water on the ground.
"Every time it rains?" Tian Jiyao opened her mouth coldly.
"Yes," Zhao Si responded casually, his hands were busy pouring all the water outside, the rain outside kept falling, after Zhao Si poured the water out, more water would leak into the house, and after only a while, Zhao Si was already soaked.
It's a bit too much of a hassle.
Tian Jiyao frowned, she carefully observed the terrain, and said slowly: "Why don't you try to dig a ditch and divert all the water into the river." ”
Zhao Si's eyes lit up, put the basin down, and patted his head, "Yes, why didn't I expect it, Mrs. Shen is really smart." ”
Tian Jiyao smiled slightly.
"Just, where are you going to dig a ditch? Moreover, this is also a palliative rather than a cure. Zhao Si sighed again.
"Don't worry, we'll ask someone to repair your roof and dig a ditch for you." Steward Wang hurriedly said, this is a good opportunity, maybe he will be willing to rent a house to help Zhao Si so much.
What's more, if this house is used as a warehouse, it must be repaired, otherwise the goods will be damaged by blisters every rainy day.
It is not a loss to repair the house for Zhao Si, and they can't afford to spend a few dollars left and right.
Tian Jiyao glanced approvingly at Steward Wang, Steward Wang straightened his chest proudly, and even the white beard looked more energetic.
Zhao Si glanced at them and said in his heart: Mrs. Shen is also a decent person, and she will not spoil the house, and she is kind and willing to help repair it, so why not rent it, and not sell the ancestral property.
Thinking like this, his heart suddenly brightened, and he smiled heartily, "Then please Mrs. Shen, as for the house, I can rent the last two rooms to you after it is repaired." ”
It couldn't be better!
Tian Jiyao was full of joy, "Then I wrote about you." ”
Zhao Si waved his hand and said, "What is there to thank for the mutually beneficial things." ”
