Chapter 18: Coincidence

The two exchanged a few words while walking, Qian Yiming went to the West House to put things, Zhou Xiaomei followed Zeng Ruolan into the East House, and talked about the mutual situation in the past few years, and the topic gradually disappeared.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Zhou Xiaomei doesn't look like an old woman, but she has a very cheerful personality and a straight personality, otherwise, at the beginning, Zeng Guochang would not have rented the house to her with confidence, and only charged a little rent.

There was no quiet breath in the room, and Zhou Xiaomei said: "Ruolan, our two families can be regarded as world friends."

Back then, Yi Ming's father was studying in the city's No. 1 Middle School, was beaten as a rightist, and together with his mother, he was dragged out to criticize and fight every day, and finally the two couldn't help but commit suicide together, leaving our grandparents and grandchildren alone.

It was your father, at the risk of being beaten as a villain, who took in our grandfather and grandson.

This kindness has always been remembered by our Qian family. ”

Speaking of these past events, Zeng Ruolan was full of pride and pride, and she admired Zeng Guochang 100%.

Zeng Guochang, a poor country boy who has never read any books, went from having nothing to finally having a small property, from being illiterate to having no problem reading and writing, with a sloppy abacus, and also took his grandmother who went to the provincial capital to study, these deeds can be written into an inspirational novel.

From childhood to adulthood, except for the accident of Huai Zeng Yirou, she has always lived according to Zeng Guochang's wishes, and has never had the slightest doubt or hesitation.

When she was alone, she often thought about what kind of scene the family would be like if her father was still alive, and I was afraid that it would not be like today, and the mother and daughter were kicked out of Ishihara City in embarrassment, right?!

Thinking of this, Zeng Ruolan's eyes were a little red, and she choked up and said: "Aunt Zhou, my father told me that these are all trivial things, and they were just a gesture back then.

On the contrary, when my father first entered the industry and wanted to work as a grocery store in Gu County from Ishihara City, it was you who did not hesitate to let my father sell your embroidery, and gradually had the capital to open a shop.

Now, you have helped our family guard the house for so many years, and we have to thank you! ”

Zhou Xiaomei waved her hand and said, "Ruolan, I handed over the embroidery to your father to sell, it was because he was kind and fair, I am not afraid that he will lie to himself, and other people, I am not at ease."

Now, our family has taken such a big advantage from your family, otherwise, where to rent such a cheap house, I am afraid that the rent is not enough for five houses in the backyard, not to mention the front façade room.

Our grandparents and grandchildren have relied on this small business all these years to save money little by little, so that they can study Yi Ming and go to college.

Your family is our great benefactor! ”

Speaking of these, Zeng Ruolan was a little embarrassed, feeling that they were too unkind to grab the façade with Zhou Xiaomei now.

glanced at Zeng Yirou, shook his head slightly, and planned to give up the matter of taking back the façade room.

"Aunt Zhou, let's not thank each other, otherwise, in the end, no one will be able to figure it out.

In the future, we will become neighbors, let's take care of each other! ”

"Well, that's right! Ruolan, don't be afraid of your aunt's nagging, you always love to talk about these old things, when people are old, there are only so many memories left. Zhou Xiaomei sighed and continued, "Ruolan, you see that I am also in my sixties, not young.

In the past, he had to save money for Yi Ming to study, but now that he is a junior, his homework is not too tight, he has found a part-time job outside the school, and he will work as a casual worker during the holidays, so the tuition and living expenses are all problems, and the burden on our grandparents and grandchildren is not big. Wait until next year, as soon as he finds a job, I plan to retire, waiting to give him a daughter-in-law and see his great-grandson.

Originally, Yi Ming's meaning was that I would retire with peace of mind now, and I shouldn't work too hard, after all, embroidering things is too ruining my eyes, and I don't wear reading glasses now, so I basically can't start.

However, when I returned to the countryside, I didn't have any relatives, and my life was not as convenient as the county, so I thought that I could still be your companion here, so I decided to stay in the county.

In this case, I don't have to rent the façade of your house so much, just one room is enough.

The rent is still the same, three hundred a year.

If you don't think that's enough, we can add more. ”

Zeng Ruolan and Zeng Yirou glanced at each other happily, they didn't expect that the matter would be solved without them talking, this is a great thing!

Zeng Ruolan took Zhou Xiaomei's hand and said, "Aunt Zhou, just follow your wishes."

To tell you the truth, Rourou and I moved back to Guxian again, and the decision was made in too haste, and we didn't plan what to do in the future.

Last night, the two of us discussed that it would be better to move the small shop in Ishihara City and start the old business again.

In this case, we need two facades.

Originally, I was embarrassed to speak, thinking that I would take a look in two days and then go to the street to see if there was a suitable storefront, but I didn't expect that now if you say this, all problems will be solved.

It's great that everyone is happy and don't have to be embarrassed! ”

Zhou Xiaomei originally thought that if Zeng Ruolan was unwilling, she would still go back to the countryside, but she didn't expect that things would be so coincidental.

"Ruolan, you have a good idea!

You say, in order to beat a pound of vinegar and buy a bag of salty salt, you have to run a long way every time, and that's it, in case you are cooking, only to find that these things are missing, isn't it not even good to cook?

If you can open a small shop, I promise that our neighbors will welcome you warmly. ”

"With Aunt Zhou's words, I was still a little apprehensive, and I could put my heart in my stomach." Zeng Ruolan's face was full of smiles that could no longer be contained.

Zhou Xiaomei is a man of action, and when she saw that her matter was solved, she said, "Ruolan, when do you plan to move?" Yiming and I will go and clean up the shop for you first. If you want to move things, take advantage of the fact that he has not yet started school, take a hand, and exert some physical strength. ”

Zeng Ruolan was not polite to Zhou Xiaomei, after all, the strength of the two women was limited. Since you want to move the store here, you can't say that in order to save trouble, you have to move it with the counter, which can also save a lot of money.

These have to be hit by big trucks, and they will definitely not be satisfied, so they can simply pack up the furniture at home.

After a visit to the county today, I found that nothing here can be compared with Ishihara City, and without those things at home, I am afraid that both their mother and daughter will not be used to it.

These big guys, their mother and daughter really haven't moved, and they have a free labor force, of course they are happy.
