On the road, there was a conversation without a match, and several people walked to the city step by step.

Because he set off early, he didn't arrive early or late when he arrived, and smelling the faint fragrance of steamed buns on the street, Qin Chuchu felt even more tormented.

She thought for a moment, walked over to a bun shop, and asked what else there were.

"The meat and sugar fillings are all sold out," the lady of the bun shop looked at a few of them with a smile, and said: "There are five steamed buns and three vegetable buns left, we are in a hurry to close the stall, if you buy them all, you can save a penny." ”

Qin Chuchu agreed, she wanted all the money she wanted.

"Okay~" The eldest lady neatly wrapped all the steamed buns with paper and sent them to her.

The other three looked at Qin Chuchu with blank eyes, she glanced at them, and said, "Each person will divide two, eat one now and eat one at noon." ”

She didn't want Liu Zigui and Fang Erniang to know that she had money in hand, and she couldn't go to the restaurant for lunch, so she could only use buns to carry it.

took two white steamed buns to Liu Zigui, and their sisters and Fang Erniang each had a steamed bun and a vegetable bun.

At this time, everything is very real, the fluffy skin of white hair, the filling inside is sufficient, and the amount is not small.

Although one can't eat enough, at least it can cushion the stomach.

"If you are a little girl, how can you finish eating two ......?"

Liu Zigui, who was trying to make up his mind, gradually silenced under Qin Chuchu's gaze, the vegetable buns were vegetarian and a little oily, how could they just give them steamed buns......

However, Liu Zigui rolled his eyes and smiled: "Chu Chu has to look carefully at the copper plate at hand, our family is counting on you now......"

He was really curious in his heart, how much money Qin Chuchu had.

"Let's go find a house to live in." Qin Chuchu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

This stepfather can't stay for a long time, since Fang Erniang can't make a decision to leave him, let her do a favor.

She inquired about going to the city first, and the east side of the city was the residence of large families, and beggars were not allowed to stay at the city gate there.

The south of the city is ordinary, and most of the local people in the city live for a long time, which is relatively stable; In the west of the city, there are many outsiders, and there is a large flow of people.

There is no doubt that they can only go to the west of the city, where there will be a lot of rental housing with more options in terms of price.

Qin Chuchu went straight over to inquire, and Fang Erniang couldn't help but be curious: "How do you know this?" ”

"The road grows on the mouth." There is a vegetable bag to fill his stomach, Qin Chuchu is not so weak.

Maybe it was because she had taken Diana pills, she felt that she was hungry very quickly, and the taste of hunger was too unpleasant.

"Are we really going to live in the city?" Liu Zigui's face couldn't help but be happy.

I didn't think that one day, he would be able to be a city person, although he didn't have a few in his pocket, but Qin Chuchu had it in his hands!

"When the weather is completely clear, the rice at home should be harvested." Fang Erniang reminded.

When they came to the city like this, what would happen to the fields in Zhupai Village?

Of course Qin Chuchu thought about this, she glanced at Liu Zigui: "Let him go back and get it." ”

A few acres of thin fields, after harvesting, they have to turn over the rice, and it is not possible to guard it without anyone over there, so it is just at this time to branch Liu Zigui and do ideological work for Fang Erniang.

It's a pity that Liu Zigui won't agree, he glared at him: "Then Erniang has to go back with me." ”

Now in this situation, what if their mother runs away!

Fang Erniang didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "I'll go back when the weather is clear." ”

Qin Chuchu didn't squeak before leaving, so he knew that it would be like this......

Fang Erniang, a woman, didn't know what was stuffed in her mind, and she never got angry in the memory of the original owner.

has always been submissive, her husband died without much sorrow, remarried Liu Zigui, made up her mind about her two daughters all day long, and never turned her face angrily, which is simply Buddha nature.

The three of them came to the west of the city and successfully looked at a few small courtyards, which were a little old, but the courtyards were built with walls instead of fences, and the security was greatly increased.

Most of the interior is rented to different families, and few people have the entire small courtyard, and it is cheaper to share it with other tenants.

"Our west wing is very good, look at this door sturdy, and there are tables, chairs and beds...... The yard is one and a half, and the well is shared. ”

The black and thin little old man has a very sharp mouth, and he introduces a lot in one mouth.

"Five cents a day?" Qin Chuchu frowned, this price is a little expensive.

Five wen seems to be not much, but one hundred and fifty wen a month is a lot of money in terms of the purchasing power of copper coins today.

Besides, the furniture he said is too worn, and I don't know if it can be used normally, so don't deliberately ask someone to pay for it if it is broken, right?

"The good location has been rented, and your West Wing is not worth the price." Liu Zigui waved his hand.

The east wing of the small courtyard has been rented out, and everyone in the world respects the east, and the east side of the city is the best location, and the small courtyard also has this kind of exquisiteness.

"What, it's too expensive?" The little old man put away his smiling face and snorted angrily: "Where did you come from, it's a waste of my time, hurry up and go!" ”

"Let's go, it's too expensive." Fang Erniang took Qin Ruoruo.

The four of them left the small courtyard, and then asked about other homes, and those who had vacant houses were almost all at this price.

Here, the money is collected according to the number of days, and it is paid once every half a month, in case those poor people can't get it out after a long time.

The owners of the house have a bad attitude, they don't recognize money but don't recognize people, Qin Chuchu sighed lightly, what kind of circle has what kind of people, they have to 'follow the customs'.

"Five cents is five cents, live in it for the time being, and it's not too late to replace it after two days if you have a better plan." Because there are too many uncertainties in the future, they have to choose short-term rentals.

There was an old woman sitting at the door with lost teeth, and when she saw them asking about empty houses, she greeted: "It's not very safe to live here, so if you have a big girl in your family, you might as well go to another street!" ”

"It's too expensive over there for us to rent." Qin Chuchu said.

Although they have left Zhupai Village at present, the news of renting a house will definitely be leaked out, and the silver is taken out of her hand, which will definitely make people suspicious.

"It's really expensive! This is not a long-term solution, after all, we have land in the village, and renting it in the city is always someone else's, so it is better to use the money to support a thatched house. ”

Liu Zigui rolled his eyes and said to Fang Erniang and Qin Chuchu.

Who will build you a thatched house, she doesn't plan to go back, Qin Chuchu smiled: "I don't know how many copper plates my father saved?" ”

She saw it, the house collapsed, and Liu Zigui ran to rummage through a small cloth bag in his arms.

She guessed that this person had some private money, but it was certainly not much. After all, the annual land rent and poll tax are too heavy.

"How can I have money!" Liu Zigui waved his hand, looked at Qin Ruoruo out of the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "She is also suffering with us, why don't you find a big family to enjoy happiness......

"I think my father was dragged down by the three of us," Qin Chuchu smiled: "You are in the prime of life, and it is not a problem to support yourself, so why bother taking us with you?" ”

So it's good to get out of here, it can save her a lot of trouble.

Leaving this Yang'an City, no one knows who she is, even if she suddenly has the money to buy a house, no one will ask more.

"How do you talk! Is this trying to get rid of me? Liu Zigui was so angry that he pointed at Qin Chuchu and scolded her for being rebellious.

In terms of seniority, Qin Chuchu really shouldn't say this, Fang Erniang remarried in the past, Liu Zigui is her father, no matter how useless you deny it.

"How dare I?" Qin Chuchu half-lowered his eyes and pouted: "It's just that you keep saying who you want to sell, and you don't think about selling yourself, it's not fair." ”

Her tone deliberately carried a hint of innocence, as if she was just talking nonsense, but Liu Zigui keenly smelled the smell of warning.

"Don't sell me!" Qin Ruoruo has been avoiding Liu Zigui.

She had been threatened with being sold too many times, and now she was no longer scared to cry, but she was full of trepidation.

"Don't be afraid," Qin Chuchu patted the back of her hand and looked up at Liu Zigui and Fang Erniang: "Our family is uneven and poor, so it's interesting to sell one less one?" ”

Liu Zigui said that he helped up the thatched house in Zhupai Village, which gave her a wake-up call.

Instead of trying to find a way to let Fang Erniang follow her, it is better to give her a more stable environment, and let her live with Liu Zigui.

Although the original owner asked to take care of her as much as possible, it was a little difficult for Qin Chuchu, such a mother role, she didn't want to force herself to take it with her.

"Of course I'm reluctant, isn't there no way......" Liu Zigui's eyes stared at Qin Chuchu sticky.

The white little face looks cold at this time, and it looks more flavorful and more difficult than before.

"Let's rent it for half a month first, if my reselling work is done well, I don't have to worry so much." Qin Chuchu had a plan in his heart, so he made a decision like that.

The four of them returned to the small courtyard of the first house, and rented the west wing room under the disdainful gaze of the landlord, with a total of 75 yuan for half a month, plus a deposit of 175 yuan.

"The rules say okay first, once the things in the yard are damaged, the original price ......will be compensated," the little old man spat and said a bunch of words, and then said that there was no firewood in the kitchen, and if you wanted to buy firewood, you could find him, two pennies and three bundles.

Fang Erniang suddenly couldn't sit still, everything in the city costs money, even burning firewood is so expensive!

The woodcutter chops firewood and sells it in the city, and it takes a lot of time and effort from cutting to traveling, so firewood is certainly not cheap.

Qin Chuchu waved his hand away and sent the little old man away, closed the door and pulled Fang Erniang: "If you want to do business in the city, naturally you can't live in the village, I only have thirty-two Wen left, mother, you go buy some food and dry firewood." ”

Of course she wouldn't go to the little old man to buy firewood, anything is the cheapest in the market, Fang Erniang will occasionally go into the city with people to catch the market, and she is good at buying things and bargaining.

At this time, lunch has passed, and they are eating the steamed buns they bought in the morning, so it is as if they have nothing to swallow.

Now that the house is rented, it is time to clean up and tidy up things, and of course you can't skip this meal at night, otherwise you will be so hungry that you can't sleep.
