Chapter 065: 16 Shaoxing Street
Before Mu Yang went out, the staff member shouted, "Mr. Mu, I don't know if you need a servant." ”
Muyang turned around and thought about it, he really needed a maid, at least cleaning the room, laundry and cooking, these things can't always be done by Xia Kejun, and Muyang has his own plan, it is likely that Xia Kejun will be left to live alone, if there is no maid around, life will be very inconvenient.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have any good introductions?" Mu Yang said with a smile.
"This is also a little selfishness of mine, what about me, I have a cousin, of course, I am mainly talking about my cousin-in-law, my cousin-in-law is a few years older in her Chinese New Year's Eve this year, her hands and feet are diligent, and the meals are also very good, she can definitely help you cook properly at home."
Mu Yang thought about it and walked back from the door, "Can you tell me more about her family's situation?" ”
"My cousin's name is Zhang Changjiu, it turns out that he was a soldier, and he fought with the warlord for several years, and finally returned home only because he was disabled. One of my cousin's hands is useless, and he can only do some miscellaneous things, and the family is supported by his sister-in-law alone. ”
"My sister-in-law has nothing to say, she is hard-working, takes care of adults and children, and now my niece is 15 years old and my nephew is 10 years old, and my sister-in-law pulled it up."
Muyang feels that this is a model of traditional Chinese women, and it is really rare to support this broken family by herself.
"Yes, you can ask her to come to me to do things, by the way, if your cousin can also do some odd jobs, you can also come over, at least you can help look at the house." Muyang said.
"Really?" The staff member surnamed Zhang was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Then I'll go and inform my brother and sister-in-law now, so I can directly help Mr. Mu clean the house." ”
Mu Yang walked out of the office, walked to Xia Kejun's side, turned around and saw that the staff member had locked the door, and then walked away quickly. It turned out that he was the only one working in this office, and it was really simple.
"How is Brother Mu?" Xia Kejun said with concern.
"It's not bad, the house is done, coachman, do you know about No. 16 Shaoxing Street?" Muyang said.
"It's easy to find, I'll pull Mr. and Mrs. over." The coachman pulled Muyang and Xia Kejun ran to the destination.
This small courtyard is indeed not on the street, and there is a larger villa in front of it, but it seems that it is also idle, and it does not look like it is inhabited at all. Muyang directly gave the coachman 10 yen, and the happy coachman walked away.
It seems that his hard work is not in vain, and he is really generous to reward this kind of son, which is enough for him to make money for a few days, and he just bought some meat at noon, so that the children can be happy.
The wrought iron gate was opened with the key given by the office, the yard inside was about 100 square meters, and there were several pomegranate trees planted on one side.
Behind is a small two-story building in European style, with an estimated area of more than 200 square meters on a single floor, the whole is white, and there is an external balcony on the second floor.
However, it has been a long time since anyone took care of it, there are many dead leaves in the yard, the branches of the pomegranate trees are branching outward, and the turf in the yard has become a barren grassland, and it seems that it needs to be tidied up.
Muyang and Xia Kejun didn't enter the house, even if they didn't go in, they knew that it must be dusty inside, and he was waiting for the staff surnamed Zhang to bring his cousin and sister-in-law over, and let them clean it before they could move in.
It didn't take long, about twenty minutes had passed, and Mu Yang and Xia Kejun were still eating pomegranates one by one under the pomegranate tree, and the staff surnamed Zhang brought people over.
Mu Yang looked over, a middle-aged woman in her 40s and a middle-aged man with his left arm broken to his big arm, both of them were standing a little cramped at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Muyang and Xia Kejun.
"Mr. Mu, this is my cousin and sister-in-law, do you think it's appropriate?" The staff member surnamed Zhang walked up to Muyang, first glanced at Xia Kejun, and then looked at Muyang with a smile and asked.
Mu Yang carefully looked at the middle-aged couple, the woman's appearance was ordinary, but the eyebrows were very peaceful, and there was no sadness left after being tortured by life, it seemed that she should be a relatively open-minded person. That man is not very old, his skin is also a little dark, and he looks like an honest person, but Muyang has not personally contacted them, so he can only make a preliminary judgment now, and he will slowly investigate the things in the future.
"Yes, I'll leave it to you here, my wife and I will go to dinner first, I hope this place can be sorted out when we come back, do you have any questions?" Muyang didn't act too easy-going, after all, there will always be a subordinate relationship in the future, and there are still some rules.
"No problem, sir, two hours at most, this place will definitely be cleaned up for you." After listening to Muyang's words, the woman hurriedly agreed, it seems that she is also a woman who has seen the world, not the kind of housewife who only promises and does not dare to speak when she sees the living.
"That's the best, you take the money, and if you don't have anything, you can buy it. Even if we hire you from today, what are the conditions, we will talk about it in the evening. Muyang handed the woman 50 yen and said.
"Yes sir, I'm not going to spend money on it." The woman replied.
Mu Yang smiled and didn't reply, took Xia Kejun's hand and walked out of the yard directly and came to the street.
Xia Kejun's hand straddled Muyang's arm, strolling on the street full of fallen leaves, no one has passed by on the street for a long time, it is very quiet, walking in such an environment, Muyang has a feeling of entering the painting.
Although it was the period of Japanese rule, there were still restaurants, and the two found a Western restaurant, and the trademark should be opened by the French, but now the waiters here have become Japanese, and this place should be occupied by the Japanese.
In order to save trouble, Muyang ordered directly in Japanese, the taste of the meal was okay, and the two of them asked for two cups of coffee after eating, and tasted it slowly. At least it's comfortable here, and I guess it's dusty in my new home right now.
Two people drink coffee and chat, talk about trivial things in life, talk about things when they were young, men and women in love, there are endless topics, maybe a small thing, two people can chat for an afternoon, and chatting is also a very good thing to enhance feelings, so it's okay to chat with your girlfriend or wife, which is very helpful for family happiness and harmony.
In the restaurant. The two of them actually did it at dusk, and in the end, it was Xia Kejun who reminded them, and the two of them began to walk back.
When I walked into the small courtyard, I found that the yard had changed greatly, the lawn on the ground had been trimmed, the branches of the pomegranate trees had become much more regular, the leaves and dead grass had been cleaned, and even the stone tables and chairs in the yard had been carefully wiped.
The outside of the small building, especially the windows, are very clean, giving people a new feeling, Muyang took Xia Kejun's hand and stepped into this house for the first time.
A large living room, which occupies half of the whole floor of the house, the furniture and decoration are very European style, and in the middle of the living room is a circle of leather sofas, which are now also wiped clean.
Looking at the marble floor, the chandelier on the head, the staircase handrails with log patterns, and the tables and chairs here have all been made neat and new, Muyang is very satisfied.
There was no one on the first floor, but there was a voice from the second floor, or the voice of a child talking.
"Sister, I'll hold this head, you can shake it." A little boy said.
"But you have to hurry, don't get dirty, this is my mother's newly bought bed sheet, you see this pattern, it's really beautiful." A girl's voice was also heard.
Mu Yang and Xia Kejun stood on the stairs, the two glanced at each other, and then continued to walk up.
