Chapter 5 Renting
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
Xu Junhao coughed suddenly, but this time the cough was shorter.
Su Wanniang raised her hand and patted his back, stroked his chest again, and when the child breathed a sigh of relief, she blew a spoonful of warm soup and sent it to his mouth.
Looking at his mother's gentle appearance, Xu Junhao grinned and took a sip of soup. The discomfort in my throat just now seemed to be relieved a little.
Su Wanniang continued to feed the soup, but one hand was gently placed on the child's wrist to probe the pulse.
When the child was better, she also saw something.
Stirring in the bowl, Su Wanniang blew it before putting it in front of Xu Junhao: "Eat slowly, don't burn it." ”
Seeing the food in front of him, Xu Junhao hurriedly picked up the spoon. The bowl is covered with a small hand, and a small spoon is brought to the mouth. The wonton noodles mixed with the fragrance of green onions opened wantonly in the end, and the slightly hot wonton was eaten in his mouth, making him take a bite and want to eat another bite.
Seeing that the child was already eating, Su Wanniang began to eat the one in her bowl.
Wonton noodles are the majority, and wonton is rare. Su Wanniang gave all the wontons to Xu Junhao, after all, she is an adult.
Eating noodles, although the taste is only salty and chives, Su Wanniang feels very good.
Xu Junhao had wonton wrapped in his mouth, raised his eyes and glanced at Su Wanniang, and saw that his mother only ate noodles, so he immediately looked down at his bowl.
The little guy is young, but he also knows how to give his mother a taste when he eats.
The soft little hand held the spoon and scooped up a wonton and handed it to Su Wanniang: "Mother, ah! ”
This is a signal for Su Wanniang to open her mouth!
Su Wanniang turned her head in surprise, and when she saw Xu Junhao's bright eyes and eyes full of expectation, her heart suddenly softened, and she opened her mouth and took a small bite of wonton: "Well, my mother has already eaten it, you can eat it too!" She smiled softly, but Su Wanniang felt that her eye frame was a little hot.
I don't know if it was the heat of the wonton noodles just now, or what, she just felt that such a picture might make her remember it for a lifetime.
Xu Junhao, who was young, didn't know Su Wanniang's thoughts at all, and continued to eat obediently.
The three-year-old baby doesn't eat much.
The little bowl of wonton was all eaten, the soup was drunk, and the stomach was round.
Su Wanniang also finished eating, took the handkerchief around her waist and wiped it for him, then picked up the basket and led the child to stand up: "Boss, settle the bill!" ”
The person who was still kneading the dough just turned his head and smiled, and said to Su Wanniang: "Chenghui Liuwen!" ”
Without hesitation, Su Wanniang took out the previous money bag, counted six pieces from it, and handed it to the stall owner.
"Thank you, ma'am! Madame go slowly! The stall owner didn't expect Su Wanniang to wear ordinary clothes but generously take out the copper coins, and the appearance of paying the money was completely without the look of the nearby small households buckling the ropes.
In front of the stall, holding the child and raising her eyes to scan the street, Su Wanniang turned to the stall owner and asked, "I don't know if there is a place to rent a house here?" "I don't know how much the housing prices are here.
In the memories of the predecessor, the utility room was too expensive. And, the main thing is that it is no longer inhabitable, and the children are bullied there.
The stall owner had a good impression of Su Wanniang, and seeing that she was very kind, he smiled and pointed to the corner of the street not far away: "Madame, go straight ahead, and walk to the intersection on the right corner, where there is a tooth row." If you are out of the code, you should ask more questions and take a look at a few more places. ”
When Su Wanniang heard the stall owner's words, she understood the kindness of his words, smiled and thanked her, and led the child to walk towards her teeth.
The tooth line is not far, and when you reach the first intersection of the street, you will be there.
Outside the small gray-tiled house, a large flag was hung, and the wooden door was open, and a table and chair were placed in the door.
Su Wanniang took the child over, and then knocked on the door.
Hearing someone coming, the people inside didn't seem to wake up, and shouted, "Who? ”
Su Wanniang didn't care, and said, "I'm here to find the house of the Dian, is there?" As she spoke, she glanced down at the child, and Su Wanniang smiled silently.
This child still regards herself as his mother, and Su Wanniang can't ignore him for this dependence. Forget it, in this strange place, they should be companions for their lives!
After a while, there was a sound of rustling, then a sound of footsteps.
'Crunch'
A door to a house in the courtyard opened, and a man of about thirty or forty years of age came out, straightened his collar, and seemed to have just gotten up.
Seeing a young woman standing in the doorway, the man walked slowly over.
"Madame is looking for a house that is out of the ordinary? What are the requirements? As he spoke, the man glanced at Su Wanniang, looked at the woman with the woman's hair in front of him, and felt very angry.
Su Wanniang thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter how big or small, just be quiet." "As for the price, let's take a look at it first.
Yazi nodded, took out a book from his sleeve, and flipped through it.
"There aren't many houses in this class! This place is all their own house, and most people naturally want to keep it for themselves. However, if there is a family house, it can be found. The man flipped through the book and shook his head, then put it on the table, turned to a page, and said, "This one has been hung with me recently, just behind the street ahead, and it is in a good location, and it will not be noisy." However, this man is in a hurry to use the money, and the price will not be less. "Ugly words naturally have to be said first.
Hearing Yazi's words, Su Wanniang thought for a while, and finally said: "It's not a secret, I don't have much money here, I don't know, can I have a cheap house?" ”
Na Yazi didn't expect Su Wanniang to be so straightforward, seeing her frank eyes, she turned several pages, and then pointed to a place and said: "There are cheap ones, and I have even cheaper ones here, and here is it." ”
Su Wanniang stretched her neck to look, she didn't expect Su Wanniang to be literate, and she admired her a little.
The women here, although they are women, are virtuous! However, in the eyes of men, literate women are indeed very learned and reasonable.
He had never seen someone as literate as Su Wanniang. It seems that only girls from large families can have such leisure and spare money to be literate!
Su Wanniang looked at the map of the house drawn in the book, there were some introductions, and at the end, there was a question about money. And the time of listing is actually a house a few years ago, and no one has ever rented it.
This made Su Wanniang secretly vigilant.
Yazi saw her staring at the word time, and suddenly, Yazi no longer hid it, and explained carefully: "Since you sincerely want to find something cheaper, I won't lie to you." This house is indeed cheap, and the initial price is 200 wen per month. Later, the price of the yamen was reduced to 150 wen. In the past few years, now, it is only fifty yuan a month, and no one is willing to rent it. ”
Su Wanniang had doubts in her heart, the pattern of reading the words in the book and the time of the house built could not be a dilapidated or narrow problem.
Could there be something else going on?
"I don't have much demand for the house, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly!" Su Wanniang thought, since this person didn't brag about how good the house was before, let alone have a clear conscience, he would definitely not hide it.
