Chen Qingmei looked at the sky helplessly, she didn't mean to deceive Jiang Xiangyun, but this matter is too complicated to explain, so let's leave it at that.

"Let's go, let's go to the city." Chen Qingmei said, "Pack up your things." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to the city, Jiang Xiangyun became energetic, "Okay, big sister, I'll go pack my things right away." ”

After breakfast, Chen Qingmei and Jiang Xiangyun locked the door and went out.

"Where is this?" Aunt Zhang passed by and asked, "Are you going to town again?" ”

"Let's see if there's anyone in town who can help and make some money." Chen Qingmei said.

Aunt Zhang said, "It's really not easy, so what can you do when you go to town?" ”

"Help move things or something, if you can do it." Chen Qingmei said. "It's not too early, auntie, let's go first."

"Then you go." Aunt Zhang is still lamenting that it is not easy for these two children, and it is really ....

Chen Qingmei and Jiang Xiangyun took an ox cart to the town first, and it took about half a day to start from the town before they could go to the city.

It cost some money just for the travel expenses, and Jiang Xiangyun was still very distressed, but it was completely different when she arrived in the city.

"It's really different in the city than in the town." Jiang Xiangyun was dizzying, feeling that his acting skills were not enough, and the city was more prosperous than the town.

Chen Qingmei observed these shops, and by the way, they saw if there were any shops for rent or places where they could set up stalls, and they would have to stay here for two months.

"Let's eat first." Chen Qingmei said, "I've been hungry for a day. ”

"Things in the city must be very expensive, big sister, let's go home and eat again." Jiang Xiangyun said.

"You're growling with hunger." Chen Qingmei took Jiang Xiangyun into a steamed bun shop, "Let's eat something to cushion our stomachs first." ”

Jiang Xiangyun came to the city and was still a little shy back, afraid of accidentally touching something or offending someone.

"You don't have to be so nervous, the city is the same as the town, aren't they all people." Chen Qingmei took two pairs of chopsticks, "We didn't do anything bad." ”

Jiang Xiangyun stuck out his tongue, "I know, eldest sister, I just feel a little happy and a little scared." ”

There were two drawers of steamed buns, and a bowl of dumplings for one person, and two people ate them.

After eating, it was already getting dark.

"Eldest sister, how are we going back?"

"Let's stay here for one night." Chen Qingmei said, "I have to go to see the shop tomorrow, or rent a room." ”

Jiang Xiangyun was a little surprised, "Spending the night in the city? ”

"Hmm." Chen Qingmei nodded, "Let's go." ”

Chen Qingmei took Jiang Xiangyun to the guest house and asked for the cheapest room, as long as she got together for one night.

Even though it is the cheapest room, the accommodation is still cleaner than in the village.

Jiang Xiangyun washed his face, "Sister, it's very expensive to stay here for one night." ”

"Don't worry about that, just wait until you make money." Chen Qingmei said. "We're going to make some money in the summer."

Outside the door, Xiao Er delivered meals, three dishes and one soup, all of which were included in the accommodation fee.

In order not to waste it, Jiang Xiangyun ate the food cleanly, and went to bed only after eating and drinking.

Early the next morning, Chen Qingmei got up and went out, while Jiang Xiangyun was still asleep.

Chen Qingmei inquired around, and under the pretext that she was a little maid, she came to see the shop for the young lady, and inquired about the rent of the shop here.

The rent of shops in the city is indeed very high, and one month's rent is worth half a year's food expenses for a family in the village.

In the end, Chen Qingmei set her sights on the small courtyard here, which didn't need to be big, only one or two rooms were enough.

After looking around, Chen Qingmei bought breakfast and went back to the restaurant.

"Big sister." Jiang Xiangyun had just finished washing, and as soon as she woke up, Chen Qingmei was gone, and after asking the second child, she knew that the eldest sister had gone out early in the morning.

Chen Qingmei said, "Let's have breakfast first, and then let's go out and have a look after breakfast." ”

"Okay."

Chen Qingmei took Jiang Xiangyun around the city all morning, but still didn't find a place that satisfied Chen Qingmei.

Jiang Xiangyun said, "The shops here are so expensive, eldest sister, we don't seem to have so much money." ”

"I'm thinking about that, too."

Chen Qingmei and Jiang Xiangyun stayed in the city for two days before finding a place that satisfied Chen Qingmei.

The son of the Qian family is going to the capital for a scientific examination, and the family is empty with his daughter-in-law, and the house is empty.

It just so happens that this house is separated from the Qian family, there is a wall, and there is a gate open in the middle of the wall, as long as the door is closed, it is like two houses.

Two hundred wen a month makes Jiang Xiangyun smack his tongue, just such a room, renting for a month costs so much money, it's really....

Chen Qingmei is not only interested in the layout of this house, but also that there is an open space at the gate, and there is a big willow tree in the open space, which can provide shade, and you can set up a stall at the door when the time comes.

"That's the contract." Chen Qingmei took two pieces of paper and put them in front of Mrs. Qian, "Just draw and press the handprint." ”

Mrs. Qian said, "Why don't you just rent a house, can't you just live there?" What more contracts? ”

"If not, we won't rent it." Chen Qingmei said.

Mrs. Qian's eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Draw a picture, draw a charge, let's draw a charge." ”

It is a great thing that 200 wen a month can be rented out, and it subsidizes a lot of households, and Mrs. Qian's eldest daughter-in-law will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Mrs. Qian's eldest son recognized a little bit of words and read the contract to Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Qian finally drew a fingerprint.

After Jiang Xiangyun came to the city, he has been following Chen Qingmei and has learned a lot of things.

"We'll live here from now on." Jiang Xiangyun felt like he was still dreaming.

Chen Qingmei put away the contract, "I'll buy a lock and lock the door in the yard first, and then we'll open the door at the back." ”

"Okay." Jiang Xiangyun said, "Eldest sister, shall we go back to the village?" ”

"I'm not going back for a while." Chen Qingmei said, "It's too troublesome to run back and forth. ”

Jiang Xiangyun said, "The rent here is really expensive, I think they treat us as little girls, easy to bully." ”

"It's only two months, and I'll earn it back soon." Chen Qingmei said, "I'll get some tables and chairs tomorrow, and I'll put them at the back door when the time comes, now I'll buy something and come back to cook and eat." ”

Chen Qingmei found an iron chain lock in the space and locked the door, not to mention the character of the Qian family, after all, the two families are not familiar, so it is better not to interact with each other for the time being.
