Kou Xi was more decisive in his career choices than his feelings, and left his two children at home after the seventh day of junior high school. He dragged Koudewang to the city to see where to live, and Koudewang wanted to buy a bungalow. The place is spacious, and you can grow some vegetables, which is more convenient for life.

Kou Xi disagreed: "Bungalows have the benefits of bungalows, and buildings also have the benefits of buildings." If you can't afford a building, rent one!"

"Renting a house is not cost-effective, and the money is in vain. Koudewang shook his head, and Kouxi dragged him around the entrances of the various elementary schools. The school started in March, and the shops that should be opened here were also opened, and Kou Xi walked around and finally found a house for rent at the entrance of a primary school.

It is a residential building with a balcony facing the street with a door on the side. After entering, it was a noodle restaurant, and the owner and his family hired a waiter to run it.

"Our children are in high school, and it is inconvenient to go to and from school when the exam is far away. Let's think about going there to do business, so that our children can go to school and not be so guilty!" The boss looked very honest, and he said with a smile: "I am all elementary school students here, and I am busy after school for a while at noon." I can make some money a day, and there is such a noodle restaurant around. You sell the whole casserole in winter, and it sells better. ”

Kou Xi asked the price, and the rent was 100 yuan a month. Because this school is not a key school, and the number of students is not as large as that of the normal school, the rent around is very cheap.

Kou Xi walked around the house, took the boss's real estate certificate and ID card to make a copy, signed a five-year contract and paid one year's rent.

The boss was very serious, and he felt that he couldn't go away: "You work for a year, you don't need so many years." ”

Kou Xi said with a smile: "Big brother, I am a widow, and my man died and left me with two children. The eldest is about to start elementary school, and I will open a small shop in front of the door for the children to eat and drink!"

The boss suddenly showed a pitiful look, and walked aside to discuss it with his wife, who had not spoken. He turned to Kou Xi and said, "I'll give you a cheaper price, a thousand yuan a year for rent." It's not easy to see you as a woman!"

Kou Dewang didn't expect Kou Xi to pay five years' rent in one go, and felt that she was too arbitrary. Kou Xi said, "Dad, this place is good." This boss doesn't make money not because the surrounding environment is not good, but because he hasn't opened a good store. Now they are all working-class, and the children go to school with lunch boxes, and how many children can eat fast food outside? And elementary school students leave school early, at half past four, unlike junior high schools and high schools, which have evening classes. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Koudwan wondered.

"Open a small store, sell books, pencils, erasers, snacks, and toys!" The corners of Kou Xi's mouth curled slightly: "I still want to get a printer, usually get a copy or something." ”

She pulled Kou Dewang outside, pointed to the street entrance and said, "Look, we are next to the Women's and Children's Hospital, opposite is a museum, and there is a construction wholesale market over there, and there are many vehicles coming and going at the door, and the traffic is very convenient. ”

The most important thing is that there is an amateur sports school opposite the construction wholesale market, and Kou Xi has the intention to send Niu Niu there. And the building has the advantage of a building, the indoor bathroom is very convenient.

"Then this is a big project, don't you see the kitchen made of it?

Kou Dewang thinks that what his daughter said is right, the key is that this house is opposite the primary school, and the two children will have no worries about going to school in the future. Opening a small store has little capital and little profit, but it can also make a living. Kou Dewang felt that Kou Xi's original intention should be to see that this place was close to the school, except that the rent was a little expensive, nothing else was really that bad.

"Get some odd jobs to clean up, you can help me watch the dots. Everything has to be picked up and cleaned up. Kou Xi pulled Kou Dewang to the balcony: "Now it is popular to open the balcony door sideways, but it is really not convenient. You seal the sides, open the front to make a sliding door, and build a few steps underneath. ”

He gestured to the living room in front of him: "There are a few counters in this room here, and all oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are not sold." I'll put on some more homework books, pinyin books, book covers, and all kinds of good-looking cheap pens. Then he pointed to the opposite side: "There are some cheap and fun toys here, and there is a freezer in it, which contains freezers, large white pears, and orange juice soda." Then the innermost part was the photocopier, and I sat against the wall and saw it at a glance. ”

There is a hallway on the left of this room, a door at the end of the hallway, a bathroom on the left, and a kitchen on the right. On the right side of the room were originally two small private rooms, one with a window and one without a window. Kou Xi pointed to Kou Dewang and said, "These two rooms remain as they are, but they all have to be cleaned up and scraped again." All the floors were pried open and covered with white tiles. ”

"Why is the rented house so good?" Kou Dewang shook his head: "It's almost enough, deal with it in a few years, if our own house is okay." ”

"If I want to buy a house, I can't buy it here, and if I want to buy a house, I have to go to the vicinity of the key junior high school to buy it. "She knew that in a few years, she would have to go to school in a school district. Kou Xi can't put the treasure near the elementary school, and he can't spend the money in vain.

"How do you know everything, who do you guess?" Kou Dewang couldn't help but ask Kou Xi, some words were held back in his heart for a long time: "I found that you have changed a lot since you got married." ”

"People have to grow up, don't they, eat a trench and grow wiser. How many times have I suffered losses, I don't even understand how a few rural women can live without a little heart? Besides, I always wanted to send my two children to school in the city. If you don't do some homework, how can you do it?"

Kou Xi's words were the truth, and Kou Dewang felt that it made sense. Anyway, Niu Niu's own pension can support himself. He wasn't worried that Niu Niu would drag Kou Xi down, and Kou Xi had money on him now, so he didn't know when Huo An would get some money over.

Thinking about the 30,000 yuan passbook, Kou Dewang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The house was cleaned up in mid-March, and after a few days. Kou Xi still felt that the taste was a little heavy, and Kou Dewang couldn't help but mutter: "I use two hundred yuan a bucket of Dabai, which is expensive enough." ”

"I still have to buy a bed and a wardrobe, and I have to put the smell in this room. Let's stay at home for two days with the two children, and I'll open first!" The counter and freezer in the store are already in place, and the cash register and photocopier in Kou Xi are missing.

"There's a bed at home, I'll pull it for you!" Kou Dewang adheres to the principle of saving if you can.

Kou Xi said: "Forget it, I think everything will be replaced with a new one." ”

On March 30, a new store opened at the entrance of Chang Gung Primary School. The name is also very special, it is called 'Xuebacang Stationery Store'.
