Chapter 4 Housing

In the following days, Meng Zhen was very busy. First, he signed the contract for the wasteland, and then explained the details of the decoration to Wang Zhiming, who had made an appointment to come. After the house was almost arranged, he ran back to the city to pack his belongings and give them away.

In the past few days, she has been shuttling between the city and Zhoujiazhuang, and at first she went to take the bus, but then she felt that it was too troublesome, so she simply chartered a taxi, and when she was decorating, she went directly to the city in a taxi.

While the workers were working, two future tenants came to see the house. Meng Zhen also met these two energetic little girls: one is in the city, named Liu Jiajia, 22 years old this year, graduated in September, and teaches Chinese and English at Yushishan Primary School in Chengxi District; The other family is from Deshi, named Feng Xiaoyan, who is only 20 years old this year and graduated this year, but he is studying a junior college and now teaches mathematics in the lower grades.

The two little girls are very curious about Meng Zhen, and in the past few days, they have heard the teachers and many parents at the school talking about her: an old girl in her thirties, graduated from J University, and worked in a large company in the city, but she came to the countryside to buy a house, and her household registration also fell here. This made the two girls who came from the city at the same time incomprehensible, they couldn't come here, it was too difficult to find a job now, and if it didn't matter, the school in the city wouldn't even think about it. If you must stay in the city, you must give up your major and run around all kinds of job fairs with stacks of resumes all day long like graduates of other ordinary colleges.

Then the village chief said that the village had arranged their residence, which was Meng Zhen's house. After class, they rushed to see this legendary leftover female eldest sister, and when they saw her, they found that she was not at all like what they imagined. Meng Zhen has an apple face, his skin is well maintained, white and tender, with short curly hair, and he is not tall, only about one meter six. The whole person looks like a recent graduate, and she is quiet, and her words reveal her good temper, not at all like a thirty-year-old.

Meng Zhen was busy before and after, so he didn't have time to talk to them much, pointed to the second bedroom on the west side of the living room, and told them that this room was theirs. As soon as they heard this, they actively went to look at the room, and the two of them discussed how to arrange and what furniture to add.

After three days of busy work, the house was finally cleaned up, Meng Zhen saw that there were still some materials left, and remembered that Chen Xue said that he would give her a dog, so he discussed with Wang Zhiming to build a kennel at the gate against the south wall. Wang Zhiming agreed very happily, although Meng Zhen didn't live much, but her requirements were not very demanding, and the cooperation between the two sides was relatively smooth.

After the kennel was set up, Meng Zhen checked the quality of their construction, which basically met her requirements. At this time, the wooden frame made by Wang Sanye for her was also completed, and the workers helped put the shelf in the place designated by Meng Zhen, who touched the unpainted solid wooden frame and had to admire his craftsmanship. The joints of the whole shelf are tightly sealed, and the wooden planks are polished very smooth, and there is no rough feeling when you touch your hands, let alone any wooden thorns or the like.

was so satisfied, Meng Zhen happily paid all his wages to Wang Zhiming. I am thinking that I can move tomorrow, and the new furniture I have ordered is estimated to be delivered together tomorrow.

The next day, Meng Zhen called a moving company and transported his packed luggage to Zhoujiazhuang. When he left, the landlord was very annoyed, but he didn't expect Meng Zhen, who has always been easy to talk, to really leave this time, and he would have risen less if he had known. Meng Zhen greeted her in advance, and she also released rental information in the past few days, but she still didn't rent it out until Meng Zhen moved out.

Meng Zhen has no way to do this, in fact, even if the landlord does not raise the rent, she will leave, and having a home of her own has always been her biggest dream. After living here for nearly eight years, she can't help but say that they have no feelings for each other, so she gave all the furniture she didn't need to the landlord, so it looks like it should be better to rent!

Coming to Zhoujiazhuang's new home, the moving workers helped to unload her belongings, Meng Zhen instructed the workers to put the furniture in the designated place, and then the furniture company also sent the new furniture, and the delivery person asked her to sign the list and pay the balance off.

After everything was put in place, Meng Zhen took a basin of water and began to clean up. Today is Saturday, there is no holiday in the morning in the school, Liu Jiajia and Feng Xiaoyan are still in class, and they should be able to move in in the afternoon, so she cleaned their rooms together.

She worked until noon, when she finally cleaned everything, the pale yellow curtains, the rustic sofa, the shiny log floors, everything in the house was full of warmth - all the hard work paid off, and she finally had her own home!

All the furniture was basically arranged according to the original setting, except for the hanging chair still under the porch outside the door. I started thinking about putting it under the south window, but later found that it was not very suitable, so I ordered a round table made of rattan and two rattan chairs. She thought about it, and by the way, there were no tables and chairs in the Dream Manor, so she put them under the big tree next to the wooden house. Thinking about it, he flashed into the manor with a hanging chair.

In the past few days, she has been busy with moving, and she hasn't taken care of the manor, and she doesn't know what happened to the vegetable seedlings inside. When she entered, she was stunned by what she saw.

I saw rows of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants growing in the red earth, and the vegetables on them were all ripe, red persimmons, green peppers, and purple shiny eggplants. Cucumbers, strawberries and melons in the black soil have also blossomed, but they have not yet borne fruit. Only the vegetable seedlings in the loess are still seedlings, but they are significantly larger than those in the courtyard outside.

She dropped the sling chair and went to the edge of the red earth to look at the ripe tomatoes. The persimmons are very large, one is estimated to be three or four taels, and each tomato grows to a height of more than a meter, and dozens of fruits bear on the branches. It is round and bright red in color. She picked one and wiped it on her clothes, it should be able to eat, Meng Zhen took a bite hesitantly.

Sweet, slightly sour, the unique taste of tomatoes stimulated her taste buds, and before she knew it, a fist-sized persimmon was eaten by Meng Zhen, leaving only a five-pointed star-like green pedicle.

It's delicious, I've just been busy all morning, I haven't eaten yet, and now I'm hooked out by a tomato. She simply sat down on the floor and feasted.

After eating five in a row, he couldn't eat it anymore, so Meng Zhen stopped. She propped her hands behind her back, half-lying down and looked at the ripe vegetable silly, hehe, it seems that she really picked up a treasure, and the land in the manor obviously has the miraculous effect of shortening the growth cycle of plants. She calculated the ripening time of these vegetables in her heart, and roughly came to the conclusion: the red soil should be N times that of ordinary land, the black soil is almost ten times faster than the land outside, and the yellow soil is the second, maybe only two or three times.

Hehe, you don't have to worry about eating vegetables in the future, you can just plant what you want to eat, save money and nutrition, this is a pure green and healthy vegetable without pesticides and fertilizers!

Because he ate too many tomatoes, Meng Zhen didn't eat at noon, and in the afternoon, the two new tenants moved their luggage. They didn't have a lot of things, the double bed, wardrobe and writing desk were all added with the help of the village committee, and they only brought a set of bedding, toiletries, a change of clothes and a few books.

Helping them put their things in place, Meng Zhen and the two teachers came to the living room, briefly told them about their situation, and the keys to the door and room were also matched, and gave each of them a copy. The three of them had agreed on a plan for peaceful coexistence, and it was already evening, and they were ready to go to dinner together. Because the gas had not yet arrived, they could not cook on the fire, so they went to the small restaurant in the village to order a few dishes, asked for two bottles of beer, and raised a glass to celebrate them!
