"I'm going to rent a bungalow with a yard in the county seat, and I can drive into a truck. It doesn't need to be too big, just one or two hundred square meters, can you help me find it?" Jiang Xiaohu said.

To be honest, this is not only an excuse for him to perfunctory Zhou Qing, but also wants to take the opportunity to inquire.

This Zhou Qing is a local in the county, and if a local does this kind of thing, he must have more developed information than him.

Sure enough, Zhou Qing slapped his thigh and raised his eyebrows, this master is determined!

"That's it, it's easy!" Zhou Qing pulled Jiang Xiaohu, "Master, you come with me!"

"Don't ask you, I'm four years younger than you!" Jiang Xiaohu said, "Just call the master." ”

"That's not possible, no matter how old you are, you have to use honorific titles. Zhou Qing said stubbornly.

He pulled Jiang Xiaohu and went directly into the alley next to him.

In the LC area of this county, the alleys are like spider webs, extending in all directions, and only locals can tell which is which.

In about ten minutes, Zhou Qing took Jiang Xiaohu to a courtyard.

This yard is in an alley behind the street, although it is not a street, but it is also very convenient, and it is the first household in the west of the alley.

"Master, do you want to see this courtyard?" Zhou Qing pointed to the courtyard with a flattering smile on his face and asked, "Spacious, four tiled houses, the courtyard is more than ninety square meters, and there are two east wings and two west wings." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, but how do you know if people want to rent it? I see that although this yard is old, it is quite clean. Jiang Xiaohu said.

"Of course I know, because I'm the owner of this courtyard!" Zhou Qing patted his chest.

Jiang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Qing, and then looked at the courtyard, not believing it at all.

Zhou Qing said: "It's true, let's go, I'll take you in and have a look!"

After saying that, he took out the key and opened the door directly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw an orange shadow brush and burst away from Jiang Xiaohu's eyes. After a few rubs, he squatted on the eaves with great agility, looking at Jiang Xiaohu vigilantly.

It turned out that it was a big fat orange cat weighing twenty or thirty pounds.

From the orange cat's eyes, Jiang Xiaohu felt that he was a mouse, otherwise why would it be so hostile to himself? Look at that fat waist—if it has a waist—the bow, and the burr, it's about to become a hedgehog.

"Go and meow, don't make trouble, this is my master. Zhou Qing glared at the cat.

Jiang Xiaohu took the opportunity to look at this room, there are four main rooms, and the windows are bright and clean. The corridor is sealed with old-fashioned aluminum alloy glass doors and windows, the east wing is for residents, the west wing is used as a dining room and a kitchen, and there is an old-fashioned cement pool in the yard under the kitchen window.

There was a cherry tree and a pomegranate tree in the yard, and a wire was pulled up between the two trees, and it was full of clothes. It's just that the wire is pulled a little low, so low that the slightly longer pants can almost drag to the ground, which makes people feel strange.

Although the yard is shabby, it is very clean. It's a pity that this yard is used as a warehouse.

"Brother, you're back!" the door opened, and a girl came out in a wheelchair.

The girl's eyebrows and eyes are a bit similar to Zhou Qing, but they are much more energetic and cuter than him.

With long hair and a shawl, eyes like autumn water, and a plain white skirt, the legs are a little muscular atrophy, which makes Jiang Xiaohu can't bear to look at it more. No wonder the clothesline is so low, he thought.

"Aang, I'm back. Zhou Qing immediately greeted him, his face glowed softly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of love.

He pushed his sister's wheelchair and carefully descended the steps to the courtyard.

The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, very well-behaved and smart, but unfortunately she has a pair of beautiful legs.

"Brother, there is a guest at home, tell me quickly, who is this big brother?" The girl was much more cheerful than her brother.

Zhou Qing's face flushed, and he bowed his head and said nothing. At this time, my sister saw the bruises on his face: "Ah, what's wrong with your face? You're fighting with someone again? Brother, are you hiding something from me......? You say, I can handle it!"

Jiang Xiaohu tilted his head and teased the orange cat, not paying attention to the conversation between the two siblings.

"Sister, I don't have anything to ......" Zhou Qing hesitated, "I just did something bad......"

"Brother, what time is it now, it's okay to do this kind of thing. The younger sister looked serious, looked at her brother with her head held high, her eyes were full of encouragement and family love, "We have no father or mother, we depend on each other, and you are my dependence." No matter what kind of person you like, it's my brother. ”

"Well, what?" Zhou Qing nodded, "What a mess." ”

"Isn't he your boyfriend?" asked my sister.

Zhou Qingyi's head was black, knock, Jiang Xiaohu over there fell to the ground, x x, what is the little girl thinking about now?

Ten minutes later, after the two people's descriptions became darker and darker, her sister Zhou Yan couldn't stand up with a smile.

"Hahaha! You don't have to explain. Zhou Yan laughed.

Zhou Qing and Jiang Xiaohu sat on a stool, and the other stood under the pomegranate tree, desperately explaining.

"Sister, I'm not like that......" Zhou Qing was clumsy and couldn't say clearly.

Jiang Xiaohu simply didn't know how to explain, was he so like Ji?

"Little sister, I'm ...... with your brother" Jiang Xiaohu also became clumsy.

Zhou Yan smiled enough, waved his hand and said, "Okay, no need to explain, I don't know my own brother yet? Just kidding, now brother, tell me who he is." ”

"He is my ......" Zhou Qing mustered up the courage and wanted to admit to his sister that he had apprenticed.

Jiang Xiaohu quickly cut off his words: "We are new friends who don't know each other." I'm going to rent a house, and he'll take me to see your yard. ”

"Oh, I see. Zhou Yan nodded, "No wonder my brother has a wound on his face, I can warn you, don't bully my brother, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!!"

She clenched her little fists and waved it very hard in front of Jiang Xiaohu.

Jiang Xiaohu grinned: "Don't worry, woman!"

Although Zhou Qing is not good, his sister is very cute. If it weren't for the fact that the two looked alike, Jiang Xiaohu would have wondered if they were brothers and sisters.

The huge courtyard, where only two brothers and sisters lived, seemed very empty, especially after learning about their backgrounds, Jiang Xiaohu sympathized with them even more. also probably knows why Zhou Qing embarked on this road.

It turned out that the two siblings lost their parents ten years ago, when Zhou Qing was still a middle school student. His father was a driver for the county bus company, and his mother was a conductor.

There was an accident and both parents died. This house is my father's legacy.

Jiang Xiaohu looked at the house and said to Zhou Qing: "Forget it, this house is so good, don't use it as a warehouse." I'm going to pile up vegetables, I'm afraid it will stain you and cause inconvenience. ”

"Master, don't worry, my house is empty, I can rent it to you, and you can earn some rent. Zhou Qing hurriedly said, "I don't want you more, two thousand yuan a year!"

In fact, the same house can be rented for at least 4,000 yuan a year, which Jiang Xiaohu only learned later.
