Chapter Twenty-Six: Lock the new house and invite Lang Zhong again
It wasn't until after noon that Wu waited for the autumn color to come back, she looked tired and tired, and she completely lost the spirit when she started to go out to look for a house.
I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a suitable house. In order to save time, I went to the dental store first, but I didn't expect that there was only a whole house for rent in the dental store, not to mention the high price, and it was far away from Ding's house. Later, she asked someone near East Fourth Street and found that there were indeed few rentals as Zhang said, and even if there were, there were men at home in the family, which was extremely inconvenient.
Wu half leaned on the wall, and when he saw Qiu Se lying on the kang regardless of the image, he hurriedly ordered the third daughter who was accompanying him to be a female celebrity, "Sanya, go and pour a bowl of water for your eldest sister." ”
"Hey!" Sanya answered and went to pour water.
"Don't worry, eldest girl, in fact, your second aunt helped you find a house, it's ......" Wu suddenly felt that he was a little difficult to open his mouth.
Qiu Se turned over and sat up from the kang and asked in surprise, "Did my second aunt help me find a house?" ”
Wu Shi was taken aback by Qiu Se's movements, and said angrily: "Why are you this kid frizzy today?" ”
"Sister, drink water." Sanya came over with a bowl of water and asked Qiu Se puzzledly, "Eldest sister, do you really want to rent a house to live in?" Why spend more money on renting a house when you have a place at home? ”
"Go, don't interject." Wu patted Sanya, then turned his head to Qiu Se and said, "Big girl, if you let you live in a room alone, and you don't have to worry about others chewing your tongue, can you still live with your mother?" ”
Qiu Se frowned when she heard Wu's words, "Mother, what you said should not be ......?"
"Big girl is back?!" Zhang lifted the curtain and entered the house with a smile.
"Second aunt." Autumn nodded at her and said hello.
Wu asked a little anxiously: "Her second aunt, what do you say?" ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, wait for me to tell you together!" Zhang greeted and sat down, and said to Qiuse: "Big girl, don't look for a house, just live at home, don't worry, it must be your own house, the house is good, the cleaning is also clean, and it is close to your mother, what do you think?" ”
"Big girl?" Wu also looked at her expectantly.
Autumn Color frowned, "Do you have a place like this in your house?" ”
"The house was originally intended for your fourth uncle to marry, but then it was locked when it wasn't used, just across from your mother's house. When I told your grandmother, your grandmother was a little reluctant, afraid that you would make the house dirty, I said that you can pay for your milk to pay, big girl, see if you give you a few less money, so that she can be more angry. ”
"Are you going to ask for money?" As soon as Zhang's voice fell, Wu asked anxiously.
"Our mother originally planned to ask for 100 wen, and I helped talk about 50 wen a month." Zhang's invited merit and said to Qiu Se: "Big girl, I have been scolded a lot to talk about these fifty texts, this is all for you." ”
"Isn't this a family......" Wu muttered quietly.
"It's just one room, and fifty wen is a lot." Qiu Se snorted, feeling that Mrs. Ding was too greedy for money.
Zhang's was a little uncomfortable about not appreciating the autumn color, but thinking of her purpose, she still continued to smile and asked: "Big girl, you see if it's okay, if it's okay, I'll go to your grandmother to help ask for the key." ”
Qiu Se thought about it again and again and nodded, she really couldn't find a more suitable place than the Ding family, although she still lives in the Ding family, but she is not registered in the Ding family now, and she is a tenant, even if the Ding family wants to manipulate her fate, they can't do it! It's just that there is no quarrel with living with the best.,Thinking about this.,Autumn color happily followed to see the house.。
"This is my old son's house, it's really a waste for you to live in, and the money is so little to pay." Mrs. Ding opened the door and chattered, hoping that the autumn colors would be given more.
"If the old lady feels that she is at a loss, then I will not rent it first." Qiu Cai replied as if it was true or false, she felt that calling Mrs. Ding was really against her will, so she didn't call it.
As soon as she heard that the autumn color was no longer rented, Mrs. Ding stopped talking, only stared at a pair of eyes and panted, and finally she snorted, pushed the door open hard, and said unconvinced: "Why don't I suffer a loss, only a few dollars, not only for you to live, but also for you to eat, even the firewood money is not enough." ”
"Is it possible that if I don't eat at your house, the rent will be less?" When she heard that Mrs. Ding was for food, she was startled by the autumn color, she didn't want to eat a few pieces of meat every day and have to look at people's faces.
"What is less? I'm thinking about asking you to pay for food! In terms of money, Mrs. Ding is a penny, "This house is cleaned up well, you have to clean it up again when my old son gets married after you live, what kind of money does not cost this painted wall, hanging shed, and pasted window?" ”
Indeed, the walls of this house are freshly painted with white plaster, and even the roof is nailed with bamboo strips and pasted with a layer of window paper, which looks much brighter than Wu's house.
"I paid the rent and left the house to clean up! If I stay a few more months, maybe you'll have enough money for the bride price. Qiuse didn't want to be cheap Mrs. Ding, so she bargained with her with all her strength.
In the end, the two agreed that the monthly rent would be fifty wen, and the things in the house would not be given to the autumn color, and the water and firewood would be used as they pleased. By the time Mrs. Ding cleaned up the house and handed over the key to Qiuse, there was nothing left in that room except a roll of broken kang mats on the kang, not even a stool.
Autumn color pouted, this old door, those things are not rare to want! She rolled up the mat on the kang and sent it to Mrs. Ding, "Old lady, I don't need this kang mat." ”
Mrs. Ding scolded Qiu Shi for not knowing what to do, "I'm still afraid that you will spend money to buy a new one, so I deliberately kept it for you to save some money, so you don't have to pull it down, hum!" ”
Qiu Se rolled her eyes, "This kang mat is broken, why don't you give me a new one." ”
"Phew, the beauty you want, how can there be a new one for you? Aren't you rich? Buy it yourself. Mrs. Ding immediately turned her face, hugged the broken kang mat and walked out.
"Wait." Autumn Colors stopped her and returned the key, "I don't need your lock, I'll buy a new one for myself then." "Who knows if she has a spare key for her lock.
Mrs. Ding snatched the key and snorted angrily: "You hurry up and send me the rent." ”
"Don't worry, I'll go to the street to buy some things and give them to you when I come back, and I won't miss your money." Autumn color said and asked Sanya to go out together.
"Mother, I need to add some things to the house, let Sanya go with me, and I'll be back in a while." Autumn Colors opened the curtain on the other side of the door and said to Wu.
"Okay." As long as her daughter doesn't go out to live, Wu is willing to do anything.
After nearly an hour of autumn color, he came back with Sanya's big bag and small bag, as soon as he entered the door, Sanya didn't care about the dirty, sat on the earthen kang without a kang mat, fanned the wind with his hands, and kept muttering, "Ouch, I'm tired to death." ”
Qiu Se also felt tired and panicked, but she still had to clean up the house, so she simply wiped the sweat on her forehead and beckoned: "Sanya got up first to help me spread the mat." ”
"Big sister." Sanya leaned on the burden next to her, "I don't have any strength now, I ate early in the morning, and I only drank gruel, I can't even stand up." Why aren't you tired at all? Have you eaten outside? ”
"Nonsense, what have I eaten, I just feel that I still have no place to sleep tonight if I don't finish cleaning up, I still have no place to sleep and have to ......" Qiu Se suddenly stopped the work in his hand and looked back at Sanya, and then smiled a little unnaturally, "Look at today, I'm afraid it's too late to buy vegetables and cook now, you go and help me help me help a few buns come back, and then you find a noodle restaurant outside to eat something, and I will invite you to warm the pot rice." ”
"Really?" Sanya's eyes lit up, and the person who had just said that he had no strength jumped up, grabbed the copper plate from Qiu Se's hand and ran out while shouting "Thank you, big sister".
Qiu Se looked at Sanya's back and sighed, and continued to pack up his new home, until half an hour later, the new home simply had a look.
After eating the buns bought, Qiu Se thought about the expression of Sanya who just said that she wanted to buy flowers and wear a few pennies left, and deeply felt that the Ding family's personality of loving money had been inherited, but fortunately she was not the real Ding family, although she also loved money, she didn't see money like them, and after thinking for a while, she washed up early and lay down to sleep.
The next day, Autumn continued to wander the streets, adding all the things that were missing in the new home and had to be bought. This time, she not only bought all the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and seasonings, but also went to the wooden shop to order a wooden basin, wooden stools, kang tables and a box with a mezzanine, and bought a new lock.
When Qiu Se tried to lock the door with a new lock, Zhao, who was watching the hot Zhao from the side, pouted and said, "Yo, who is this to prevent?" It's not good for you to lock the door like a thief in this courtyard. ”
"Third aunt, although I am a relative, I also paid the rent, so it's not good for everyone to step on the house." Autumn color glanced at her unceremoniously and continued to try the lock.
Zhao didn't take advantage of it and snorted, muttered a few words of "little family spirit" and left.
It wasn't until the third day that the custom-made things were delivered in the autumn colors that the house felt like home.
There is a small wooden box half a meter big in the corner of the kang, a set of new quilts are neatly stacked on it, a small kang table half a meter long and one foot wide is placed in the middle of the kang, the pen, ink and paper inkstone are placed on the table, and a bamboo curtain with a large hole hangs on it, and the bottom end is less than half a foot high from the kang table, so that when the bamboo curtain is put down, the place where you live and the other side of the kang form two spaces.
Autumn was setting up a wooden basin and a wooden bench in the corner of the house, and all the woodwork she had ordered was not painted, only polished and smooth, and she could smell the unique aroma of wood when she looked down.
Sanya went into the house and walked around, and said enviously: "Eldest sister, your house is really good, when would I have such a room." ”
"What's so good about that? If you have a house that really belongs to you, it's good to be happy! Qiu Se said as she turned back to her and asked, "Why don't you go to boil medicine for your mother, why are you running to my house?" ”
"That, eldest sister, our mother's medicine has been eaten, you see ......" Sanya's eyes burned and stared at the autumn color.
"Oh." Qiu Se understood what she meant after thinking about it for a while, I am afraid that she still wants to take medicine, but the Dante family refuses to pay! Also, with his own injustice, it's strange that people are willing to pay! However, since he had already agreed to take care of it, there was no reason to do half of the thing, so he nodded and said, "I know, I'll go and ask Lang Zhong to come over again in a while." ”
As soon as she heard that Qiu Se had promised to invite Lang Zhong over, Sanya's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Eldest sister, if you are busy, I will invite you." ”
"No, I happen to be familiar with the streets of our town." As he spoke, Qiu Shi locked the door and went to the pharmacy where Lang Zhong was yesterday to return to the Spring Hall.
