Because the tenant said that he would come back tomorrow and discuss things with them, for the mother and daughter who have a lot of time, there is no difference between staying in Guxian for one more day, and it is just right, taking advantage of her free time Zeng Ruolan took Zeng Yirou to visit Guxian together.

Guxian is really small, not much more than a small town, there are a total of four main streets in the east, west, north and south, plus many small alleys, and then there are none.

The main commercial street is a small alley that crosses the north and south, and the simple houses of varying heights on both sides constitute the most prosperous area of the ancient county, selling some clothes and daily necessities, mixed with a few small restaurants, barber shops and the like. The streets are lined with countless small stalls, crowding the already modest streets.

They only walked the streets for two hours and then went around the county.

This is really too small and simple for Zeng Yirou, who takes three or four hours to visit a shopping mall in a big city, or even a day.

Thinking that I really have to live in such a poor place for several years, and there is no Internet in the future, I really feel a headache.

However, she thought that she came here to study, and with her current study situation, she didn't have much spare time, so it didn't matter.

The mother and daughter bought a pack of somen noodles, cooked a somen soup, and two big steamed buns bought on the street for five cents, and dinner was solved.

The two didn't bring much stuff with them in Guxian County, no TV, and no relatives, friends and neighbors to visit the house, so they stared at the house early and chatted with each other.

As he spoke, he talked about his future livelihood.

As far as the current living standard of Gu County is concerned, first, there are no large factories and mines, second, there are no advantageous development resources, and third, there is no transportation extending in all directions.

In addition, people here do not look up and look down, from the street to the end of the street, you can always meet a lot of acquaintances, chat with a stranger, and maybe find distant relatives. The smaller the place, the more human affection and relationships are needed.

It's a pity that their mother and daughter haven't returned to Guxian for more than ten years, many relatives and friends are estranged, and the people in Zeng Yirou's grandfather's life have long been out of contact.

This is also directly caused, if Zeng Ruolan returns to Guxian, there is no suitable job at all, and they will face a mountain of empty food.

Zeng Yirou thought about the three storefronts of her family, her mind moved, and she said excitedly: "Mom, otherwise, don't sell the things in our store in Ishihara City!" ”

Zeng Ruolan rolled her eyes and said, "Don't sell it, keep it moldy?!" ”

Zeng Yirou sat up from the bed, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was feasible, and said excitedly: "Mom, can we open a small shop in Guxian?!" Our house has a façade house, although it is in the alley, but there are residents all around, I noticed that there are no small shops near our house, isn't it just cheap for our house? ”

Zeng Ruolan also suddenly became energetic.

She originally wanted to go back to Gu County, firstly, because this is her hometown, and she is more familiar with it than an unfamiliar city, and secondly, her family has a house here, which can be regarded as a stable life.

When I chatted with my daughter today, I realized that she had forgotten a more important question, that is, what should she do to earn money in the future, otherwise, they would not have to drink the northwest wind.

Now, Zeng Yirou's proposal reminded her at once.

She is familiar with opening a small shop, and their family has always been in this business.

Speaking of which, this is also in the family.

Zeng Yirou's grandfather Zeng Guochang was less than ten years old when he was in the Republic of China, because his family was poor, and there were constant wars at that time, so he followed the people from the same village to Ishihara City as an apprentice.

After liberation, he saved some spare money in his hand and went back to Guxian to open a grocery store.

Later, he saw that the situation in the city was not good, and there were Red Guards everywhere, so he moved to the countryside early for fear of being criticized by capitalists, and the shop was closed.

When Zeng Ruolan was pregnant, because the tolerance for unmarried pregnancy was particularly low in that era, and it was still in a closed small mountain village, Zeng Guochang decided to move out of Guxian with his family without hesitation.

He found a friend who was an apprentice in the past, and used all his savings to buy a small two-bedroom house, and then saved money from a small merchant from house to house and started a small shop, and the family slowly settled in Ishihara City.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the situation of their family had just stabilized, Zeng Guochang had an accident, and Zeng Yirou's grandmother Li Yingzi also passed away together.

Zeng Ruolan grew up quickly from an ignorant girl, taking care of her daughter while continuing to be a small shop, and gradually supported this stormy home.

Now, they are moving again, and if they want to make a living again, it is really cost-effective to continue to be a small shop, so that the stall in Ishihara City will not be in a hurry, and they can hire a big truck to pull all the belongings at once, and they don't have to move like hamsters again and again.

Now, the most important thing is to discuss the façade with the tenants at home, I was too anxious to tell people to move back to live, I feel embarrassed, and now I have to take back one or two façade rooms, how do I feel that their main family is too unreasonable.

It's just that now is not the time to die to save face and suffer the crime, they must quickly cut through the mess and solve the matter as soon as possible. They feel embarrassed, they can reduce the rent again, or simply don't want it, after all, the other party has looked at the house for them for so many years, and they have taken care of it so well, so they should be grateful.

The mother and daughter had a plan for the future, and they were very excited, and the two chatted until one or two o'clock in the morning, but they couldn't hold it anymore before they fell asleep.

The next day, when the two got up, they started writing and drawing with Zeng Yirou's homework book, noting down what they were going to do next.

In the morning, the door of their house rang again, and the mother and daughter heard the sound and went out of the house.

Zeng Yirou met their tenants for the first time, a pair of grandchildren, a kind grandmother and a young man.

As soon as Zeng Ruolan saw someone coming, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Zhou, you're back!" Come into the house and rest, Da Layue Tian, it's strange cold on this road! This is your grandson Yiming, right? I haven't seen you for years, and I'm almost unrecognizable. ”

Pulling Zeng Yirou beside him, he said: "This is my daughter Zeng Yirou, you can call her Rourou in the future." Rourou, call Grandma Zhou and Brother Yiming. ”

Zeng Yirou obediently called "Grandma Zhou, Brother Yiming".
