Widow Jiang nodded, "That's right." After a pause, he asked: "Sister Hua, don't blame my sister for speaking straight, do you plan to live in the house yourself or ......?"
"I live by myself." Looking at the puzzled expression on the other party's face, Hua Ronghua thought for a while and explained: "I was divorced by my in-laws, because I had nothing to do and something else, and my parents passed away, and my sister-in-law couldn't tolerate me, so I ......"
Hua Ronghua didn't dare to say that she was divorced because she was taken away, not because she was afraid that others would look down on her, but because she didn't want to be too famous. There must be more than one woman who has been divorced in the entire county, but the woman who has been kidnapped by thieves is herself so far!
She remembered that when she walked through the lobby of the inn, those people thought they were very low-pitched or sympathetic or despised what she had suffered, and she didn't want to be seen as a Western scene every day!
"Alas, also poor people." Widow Jiang really felt a little pity for her.
The fat-toothed man couldn't get into the conversation on the side, so he looked at the two of them talking with a smile, and then asked, "Are you two negotiated?" ”
Widow Jiang gave him a look, "Of course, it's not easy to attract such a talkable sister." ”
"Then did we bookmark this deed? I still have something to do in the dental shop, but I don't have time to talk to your sisters and sisters here. ”
"Sign, sign, sign." Widow Jiang smiled and said to Hua Ronghua: "Sister, Feng Yaren told you, I have two taels of silver a year here, and now my sister is destined for you, and I will give you a cheap, five taels in three years!" ”
Hua Ronghua was a little embarrassed, "That, Sister Jiang, I'm sorry, I don't have so much silver in my hand now, let's pay a year's rent first!" ”
Widow Jiang was stunned for a moment, and some did not react.
Feng Yaren was clever, and said with a smile: "That is the case, then you have to give a discount to Widow Jiang when the Hua lady pays the rent next year." ”
"Hehe, that's nature." Widow Jiang also responded with a smile.
So, the two signed the deed, and Hua Ronghua handed over two taels of silver to Widow Jiang and gave Feng Yaren a hardship fee of 100 yuan. But then I saw that he collected another hundred wen from Widow Jiang, and then I realized that this tooth man's hard work was collected at two ends! What a profiteer!
Sending Feng Yaren away, Widow Jiang handed her a lock and a key, "This house was originally locked, and I only opened the door after I pasted the window in the past two days, so you don't have to paste the window when you live in." ”
"Thank you, Sister Jiang, I'll take a look and clean up first, so I can move in tomorrow."
"It's okay, my sister will help you clean up together." Widow Jiang said happily, "In this house, it's just a layer of floating ash, just wipe it." ”
It was indeed as she said, Hua Ronghua looked around, borrowed a basin and rag from Widow Jiang, fetched water and began to clean.
Putting her hand into the cold water, the ice was biting, and she even felt a faint itch on her bones, Hua Ronghua shrank her fingers slightly, if only she could boil some hot water. Forget it, I'm going to order it when I first arrive, wipe it briefly, and then clean it up tomorrow when I buy firewood to boil water.
Widow Jiang was talking to Hua Ronghua next to her, occasionally helping to get things or something.
In fact, there was nothing to clean up in the house, but the mat on the kang was quite dirty, and then there was a half-old square table and a stool on the ground.
Watching Hua Ronghua brush the rag washing basin, Widow Jiang's smile was a little real, "Sister Hua looks like a neat person!" ”
"Oh, I'll just wipe the dust, and I'll have to clean it up tomorrow." Then, saying that he would move things over tomorrow, Hua Ronghua left his baggage and went back to the inn.
The first thing I did when I returned to the inn was to soak my hands and feet in a basin of hot water, and I didn't take it out until the water was cold. Feeling that the tingling sensation on his hands was much smaller, Hua Ronghua put his mind at ease, and then started to worry again, although it is okay to live here, but there are really a lot of things that need to be added.
At the very least, a set of bedding, a crockpot and grain for cooking, spices and a basin for washing your face and feet, I don't know if one or two pieces of silver are enough? At that time, I will have more than one or two pieces of silver left, so I have to think about how I want to make money! Or she would have to drink the northwest wind.
What can I do? In modern times, Hua Ronghua studied computer applications, but in ancient times, who could send electricity first? If you really can't do it, you will go to the second shop as a salesperson? But the little two here seem to be all men.
Think about it, what do the other heroines do to cross over? Those who know how to heal have a reputation for saving lives and helping the wounded; Those who know martial arts, eliminate evil and promote good, and point to the world; Those who know how to cook, have all five flavors, and catch more than one rich and handsome stomach!
Actually, cooking, Hua Ronghua will also be a little bit, but she is just willing to put the ingredients, and she is more proficient in what she likes to eat, as for the several major cuisines and some flavors, I don't know at all, it's okay to cook and eat by yourself, if you are a chef, heh......
Alas, could it be that a young socialist woman in her own dignity was going to starve to death in Beipeng? Hua Ronghua lay on the bed and covered his head with the quilt, full of sadness.
After all, Hua Ronghua only has one hand of female celebrity and can still make money, and this is still the skill of the original owner!!
Hua Ronghua, who was depressed, didn't even eat dinner, and slept until the next day.
Hua Ronghua started to buy things after breakfast, and he was reluctant to spend tips to let the shopkeeper deliver them, so he went back and forth by himself.
In the end, Hua Ronghua's injured left shoulder was stretched, and he took off his clothes in the house to check, the wound was really oozing some blood, and he opened Gong Xichu's medicine bottle and applied the medicine, the blood quickly stopped, and the pain was much less!
It is really a good medicine, Hua Ronghua looked down at the medicine in her hand and sighed softly, four life-saving graces plus a bottle of medicine, she really owes Gong Xichu a lot, and some of them can't be repaid!
"Yo, Widow Jiang, is this your relative? Why do you keep messing things up at your house? Outside the gate of Jiang's house, an aunt wearing a thick gray linen looked at Hua Ronghua, who was about to go out again, and couldn't help but ask.
Widow Jiang straightened her waist, stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is Sister Hua, she will rent a house in my house from now on." ”
The aunt looked Hua Ronghua up and down a few times, "A good woman's family, why do you have to come out to live by yourself?" Didn't you get someone out of it! "I really let her guess eight or nine and not far from ten.
Widow Jiang's face was a little unsightly, "Aunt Wang, you can't talk nonsense!" You must know that this sister Hua has a bad temper, I don't care if I'm really anxious at you! ”
"Cut!" The princess glanced at Widow Jiang, muttered 'all the way' and turned away.
Hua Ronghua put the things out and asked, "That aunt is a neighbor?" ”
Widow Jiang said disdainfully: "It's bad luck to be a neighbor with her." Her family is rural, and she shows people the house in our Xinghua Alley, thinking that she is the same as the people in the city, an old lady with shallow eyelids who loves to chew the root of her tongue, don't bother with her. ”
"Oh." Hua Ronghua responded casually and said, "Sister Jiang, I'll go buy some firewood to burn the kang." ”
Widow Jiang said: "If you come across it, buy more, now that the New Year is over, the firewood seller may not come every day." ”
Yes, it turns out that there is still half a month to go before the New Year. Hua Ronghua was excited, no wonder there were a lot of people in the store where she went to buy things.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang, I'll go!" Hua Ronghua sincerely thanked her, otherwise she would have to freeze in a few days if she bought a few bundles of firewood in order to save money.
After looking around the market, I really saw a firewood seller, and he was also an acquaintance. Seeing that there was no other firewood seller, Hua Ronghua had no choice but to step forward.
"Auntie!" Yu Yu had a good look, and when he saw Hua Ronghua, he said hello first.
Sanzhuzi patted his son a little embarrassed, he knew that Liulang had already given Hua a holiday, and he was afraid that people would be anxious if he called his aunt at this time.
Hua Ronghua didn't feel anything, but said with a light smile, "In the future, your uncle and I will not be a family, you still call me Aunt Hua." "Actually, she is really not a few years older than Yuyu, but the previous generation is here, and she can't be called anything else.
The father and son only smiled innocently, and they were a little uncomfortable.
"Well, how do you sell this firewood?" Hua Ronghua glanced at their cart, and there were three bundles of firewood on it.
"Qiwen."
Yu glanced at his father, who was only in charge of the quotation, and hurriedly said: "Aunt Hua, our firewood bundle is solid, and the firewood is also thick and burnable, so it is not a problem for this bundle to burn for five or six days!" ”
"Okay, can you send it to me for me?" Hua Ronghua looked at the bundles of firewood, which were indeed good.
So, Hua Ronghua led the way and took the father and son to the house of Widow Jiang, where she now lives.
"Aunt Hua, do you live here?" Yu looked at the blue brick courtyard in front of him full of envy, this courtyard is a little smaller, but it is much newer than the Lu family's yard, and it is also a lot cleaner.
Widow Jiang came from behind, looked at the firewood that had been unloaded, and looked at her eyes, "This firewood is not bad, how much is it?" ”
"Qiwen!" The three pillars replied one by one.
"I want more, can it be cheaper?" Widow Jiang was secretly happy in her heart, the firewood she usually bought was also a bundle of seven yuan, but it was loose, which was far from it.
"This ......" Sanzhuzi was a little unsure of how to answer, and set his eyes on his son.
"This eldest sister, if you want more than ten bundles, you will pay six cents." Yu put the firewood and said.
Widow Jiang covered her mouth and smiled, "Your name is Sister Hua but you call me Sister, this life is bad!" After laughing enough, he said, "Catch Ming'er, you send me ten bundles." ”
"Alas!" There is a lingering rush to get down.
Hua Ronghua handed over the firewood money to Youyu, "Send me a few more bundles tomorrow, it's almost the New Year, maybe you won't have time to chop firewood." ”
Yu agreed, and then divided the fourteen copper plates to the three pillars, wrapped the remaining seven and stuffed them into his arms, and when he looked up and saw Aunt Hua's surprised gaze, he couldn't help blushing and explained, "My father's share is to be handed over to the milk." ”
Thinking of Mrs. Lu's personality, Hua Ronghua used to feel that this was more than enough to follow his father, and he was silent, but now he seems to be a little careful, so he nodded and said, "Anyway, she doesn't know how much firewood you chopped, just give a few pennies." ”
You smiled and didn't say anything.
Hua Ronghua sent the two away, and as soon as they turned around, they saw Widow Jiang's gossipy gaze.
"Sister Hua, do you know those two people just now?"
"Former relatives!"
Widow Jiang paused for a moment before she reacted, a little curious, "Do you still have a connection with your previous husband's family?" ”
"It's just a few bundles of firewood from my former husband's relatives!" Hua Ronghua emphasized.
"Huh." Widow Jiang laughed dryly twice and went back to her room.
Hua Ronghua took firewood and started to light the fire, but she was very happy to see Aunt He and Sanzhu's daughter-in-law lighting the fire before, but when she came here, she didn't even have a spark.
Why don't you go to Widow Jiang for help? Hua Ronghua raised his eyes and looked at the closed door to dispel this thought, lowered his head and continued to make persistent efforts.
Finally, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and Hua Ronghua's fire fold finally came out with a few sparks, although it was just a flash in the pan, but there was also hope that it was not.
By the time Hua Ronghua started the fire, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed, and after filling the firewood, she suddenly had a feeling that life was so difficult!
The house was cleaned up again, and Hua Ronghua locked the door and went to the inn to check out.
"I have pledged a total of two coins of silver, and I will stay for three days, and I should find you fifty yuan, thirty yuan for breakfast, and twenty yuan left." The abacus beads played by the shopkeeper were faintly reported.
Hua Ronghua got up as soon as he heard the fire, "Shopkeeper, this account is not right, I am only the second day when I move in today, and it is not past noon!" Why did you just give me the money for the whole day? Also, I don't plan to live here tomorrow, how can you still collect money? ”
The shopkeeper looked up at her, "But the boy who booked the room said that it was a three-day reservation." ”
"I booked three days, but I didn't stay for three days!" Hua Ronghua's voice became louder and louder, "If you want to bully the store like this, let's go to the yamen to evaluate it!" ”
Seeing that many guests next to him followed the sound and looked over, the shopkeeper's face was a little unsightly, and he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you scare my guests away, I will let you pay!" ”
Originally, he thought that in the past two days, he saw Hua Ronghua, a single woman, who wanted to cheat more money out, but who knew that this person would go to the yamen if he didn't agree! In a bad mood, he took out seventy pieces and threw them on the counter, "Here you go!" ”
