Chapter 5: Selling a House
Wei Qilang called her by her name just now, and Dong Ru heard it right.
She was a little stunned, but after a while, her face was a little red, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head to drink porridge to cover up, but from the edge of the porridge bowl held in both hands, the small back ears had a slight pink.
By the time she finished her breakfast by herself, the sun had already risen high outside, the spring was warm and cold, and there was still some mist in the air slowly drifting among the mountains.
After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, when Dong Ru opened the door and went out to wash, Wei Qilang had already pushed open the courtyard door and came in.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Dong Ru carrying a bowl and was about to go to the kitchen, so he hurriedly walked over and said, "I'll come." With that, the man turned and walked towards the kitchen.
It's said to be a kitchen, but it's actually a small space in the corner, and the earthen stove built by Wei Shichiro with adobe bricks is located on the left side of the gate just after entering the courtyard.
If it is rainy, this stove cannot be used for cooking, and even the firewood chopped next to the stove will be wet, so it is very inconvenient.
And the small open space on the right side of the courtyard was fenced by Wei Qilang yesterday, and a small circle was formed, and there were several snow-white rabbits in it.
Dong Ru saw that the work in her hand was taken over by Xianggong, but she had nothing to do for a while, she couldn't be idle, so she turned her head and looked around and saw the nest of rabbits.
The rabbits were running around, looking at them with round red eyes, one of which was still nestled in front of the earthen wall, but the ears twitched slightly.
Dong Ru looked at it and smiled slightly, turned his head to see that the alfalfa and wild vegetables in the trough were gone, so he stepped forward and picked up the small sickle on the side, and put it on the basket to prepare to go out.
"Don't go, let me come, it's still a little cold in the morning, you can go in quickly."
Wei Qilang stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes and looked at Dong Ru and said quietly.
Dong Ru was stunned for a moment, stopped and turned around, and saw Wei Qilang turn around and fold the dishes and chopsticks, put them in a small drawer next to the stove, and then turned around and walked towards her.
It's only been a day, and Wei Qilang knows everything about what Dong Ru wants to do, as if she doesn't have to speak, he knows it.
Wei Qilang walked up, put down all her things for her, pushed her back, and said: "If you are really idle, clean up all parts of the house first, and wait for the village chief to come over with someone, planning to take a look at my dilapidated houses, in order to sell them for a good price, to leave a good impression on him." ”
Saying that, he smiled slightly, but Dong Ru was taken aback, stopped his steps, turned around to look at him and exclaimed, "You want to sell the house!" Why? ”
"Didn't you just say, I'm looking for a way to make money, I don't want you to follow me to farm, so I want to take you to the town to open a small shop, and you will take care of it in the future." As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the two earthen houses behind him, and then said expressionlessly: "This house is an old house, and it doesn't cost much if it is sold, if the village chief likes it, he can give as much money as he can, and when the time comes, we will take this money, plus what I saved before, and we will go to the town to rent a house." ”
Dong Ru stopped talking, and his moist eyes only looked at Wei Qilang.
She and Wei Qilang are both from the same village, although it is rare to see them on weekdays, but the village is such a big place, and there is very little land, so people value the land and houses very seriously, if Dong Ru is not mistaken, this should be the last thought that Wei Qilang and his father left him.
