At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the rain stopped, and Xiao Zhi also said goodbye to Ji Jiu'er.

"Ji Jiu'er, thank you, I've bothered you here for so long, and now that the rain has stopped, I should leave." The breeze blew Xiao Zhi's hair, her face was indifferent, but her voice was so warm and beautiful.

Ji Jiu'er looked at her with an embarrassed face, and said euphemistically: "That, your clothes haven't dried yet..."

Xiao Zhi was slightly stunned, looking at the young man's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he looked down at the clothes on his body, and instantly understood what he meant, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was negligent, when I woke up in the morning, I saw that the clothes were all wet, so I took two clothes in the closet, I hope you don't get angry." ”

Ji Jiu'er hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I meant that this dress belongs to my sister, and she will be back tomorrow, so you can't wear this dress, you better wait for your clothes to dry before leaving." ”

"Okay, then I'll walk around." Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, it turned out that this young man also had a sister, looking at the size and style of this dress, it should be about the same age as himself.

"Go ahead, I'll bake your clothes for you in the oven." Ji Jiu'er waved his hand, ran to the house and took out the oven, took Xiao Zhi's clothes in his hand and baked them over and over again, even he didn't realize that he was now looking like a little househusband.

After Xiao Zhi got out of the yard, he found that almost all of this kind of small yards were in this alley, the streets were narrow, the roadside was full of tattered garbage, and it was really a slum, but the house here should be very cheap, she had little savings left, and the good house must not be able to rent it at present, and after walking around, I found that there was nothing to see if it was dirty everywhere, so I went back.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw such a scene, the young man was sitting in front of the oven, with two chairs in front of him on top of her clothes, and the young man was holding her bra in his hands and roasting it on the fire repeatedly, I don't know if it was hot or what, his face was flushed.

"If it's hot, I'll do it myself." Xiao Zhi walked in, she had learned to be self-reliant in the past two years.

"Ahh Ji Jiu'er didn't expect her to come back suddenly, so she quickly stood up in fright, standing there at a loss, looking embarrassed, her eyes wandering around, and her mouth said, "I, I'm not hot." Why is this woman so brainless, didn't she see what he was holding in his hand, and asked him indifferently if he was too hot, how could there be such a stupid person in the world.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself." Xiao Zhi didn't notice Ji Jiu'er's discomfort, he calmly took his bra and baked it, and asked casually, "I see that many courtyards around you are empty, and no one lives?" ”

"Ah, no one lives, this area is all old houses, after the development of the new city, people with a little savings have gone to the new city to buy houses and moved away, so many yards are empty, waiting for the day when the government can lose money for demolition." Ji Jiu'er saw that her face was full of indifference, and she was also relieved and sat down next to her.

"How much does it cost to rent a yard here?" Xiao Zhi turned his head to look at him and asked, the fiery red light shining on her face, making her entire face look much softer.

Ji Jiu'er is not stupid, she immediately reacted when she asked this, and said, "Do you want to rent a house here?" ”

Xiao Zhi nodded: "Since the first night in this city is to spend the night here, it can be regarded as fate, so I want to settle here." Of course, she would not admit that she chose to live here because she had no money, otherwise she would not have chosen to live in this slum.

"So you just arrived, so I said you don't have a local accent." Ji Jiu'er said on her lips, but she thought in her heart that this girl didn't have a phone call from a family member from yesterday to today, could it be an orphan?

"Yes." Xiao Zhi faintly replied with a word from his nasal voice.

"It's easy to do, this alley is full of neighbors, I know it, if you want to rent it, I'll help you get the lowest price, it's empty anyway, they will definitely be happy to rent it." Ji Jiu'er Balabala began to say, "Let's just say that the yard next door to us has been empty for several years, and the landlord wants to rent it out but no one has been willing to rent it, if you want to rent it, I can help you ask, as for the rent, it is about 1,000." ”

"A thousand?" Xiao Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Ji Jiu'er, this price was more expensive than she imagined, Liangcheng was originally a third-tier small city, and it was a slum here, how could the house be so expensive? Looking at the big black and shining eyes of the young man in front of him, he suddenly understood something when he looked at himself, and he was really a cunning little ghost, and lowered his eyes to remove the dark light in his eyes.

Ji Jiu'er thought it was too expensive when she didn't speak, so she immediately sold it: "Don't look at the price, it's a little expensive, but the house is big, there are three rooms in the courtyard next door, plus the courtyard, it's about two hundred square meters, one thousand is not a loss at all, if you go to the new city to rent a house, although the price is cheaper than this, but the house is small, it is very crowded and uncomfortable to live, and it is not much cheaper, if you think it's okay, I'll call Aunt Li later, and I will come forward and say that you are my friend, and you can move in today." ”

If Xiao Zhi knew that he had been fooled in the past, he would not have taken this thousand in his eyes, but now that the funds are tight, he can't squander it at will, so he can't squander it at will: "However, when I was in the station when I came, the money was stolen by a thief, and now the money is a little tight, can you make your Aunt Li cheaper?" ”

"This..." Ji Jiu'er frowned, this Xiao Zhi looks at his manners and self-cultivation is not bad, why is he so poor? It seems that this time I looked away, and I thought it was the daughter of a rich family, obviously her family background was not good, and she didn't have a good face at the moment, "Eight hundred, it can't be less." "No matter how little, how can he make the difference?

Xiao Zhi saw that he looked in pain, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "Deal, my luggage is in the hotel, I'll pick it up later, you go and call your Aunt Li." ”

Ji Jiu'er stood up sullenly, school was about to start, and it was impossible to save more living expenses, alas.

Xiao Zhi touched the clothes, although they were not all dry, but they were almost there, and then took the clothes back to the house to change, put on his black coat and instantly warmed up a lot, and it was much more comfortable, the sweater just now was really inferior, and her skin was very uncomfortable.

"Xiao Zhi, I just called Aunt Li, and she agreed, saying that you live first, and she will come over to sign a contract with you in two days." Ji Jiu'er's excited voice came from outside the door, and people who didn't know thought that Xiao Zhi would live next door and made him very happy.

Xiao Zhi opened the door, walked out, took two hundred yuan and handed it over: "This is the food and accommodation expenses for last night and today, I will go back to the hotel to get things first." ”

Ji Jiu'er looked at the two red bills in front of him in a daze, just stayed for one night and ate two meals, so he casually gave two hundred yuan, where does this look like there is no money? His face darkened instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You lied to me? ”

"What are you lying about?" Xiao Zhi pretended to be puzzled.
