Chapter 4: Planning for Employment
The supermarket has taken out a brand new warm underwear has been changed, soft and comfortable, put on the thick cotton clothes and cotton shoes just bought, and wear a brand new cotton hat, all live!
Walking on the street, today I have to find a place to settle again, staying in a hotel is not a long-term solution, it is best to rent a short-term accommodation, otherwise I have been living in a hotel with the particularity of this era, and the people will drown themselves sooner or later.
A few days ago, when I was walking around the city, I was already paying attention to where there was a place to rent, and today I am going to implement it.
Walking through the streets, I came to a small courtyard gate, looked up at the door number on the courtyard wall, yes, this is it.
He knocked on the door, then stepped back and stood at the foot of the steps, and in a short time the courtyard door was pushed open, and an old woman leaned out, her clothes covered with patches, but they were neat and clean, and the hair on her head was neatly combed.
Looking at the young man standing at the foot of the steps, dressed in a clean and brand-new cotton coat, wearing a cotton hat and scarf, there was a smile on his face under the brim, "Young man, who are you looking for?" ”
"Grandma Liu, that's the case, I'm here to do business in the city, it's not a place to live for the time being, it's not a thing to stay in a hotel all the time, a few days ago I heard someone else talk about it, saying that there is a vacant room in your small courtyard, so I took the liberty to ask to see if I could rent it for a month!"
This news was indeed heard by Zhao Yi during dinner, there are a total of three rooms in this small courtyard, and there is a family, an old lady and her granddaughter, the granddaughter also has a child, and the family does not have a fixed job, so they rely on some odd jobs to subsidize the family, which is exactly what suits Zhao Yi's needs.
I didn't come a few days ago because my goods hadn't been sold yet, one had no money, the other didn't want to attract attention, and the three were afraid of causing trouble to each other.
Looking at Zhao Yi's honest face, the old lady thought for a while, "Child, we have two grandchildren and a child at home, I'm afraid it's not convenient to rent it to you, or you should go elsewhere to see!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to close the courtyard door, but Zhao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to stop the old lady.
"Grandma, I'm not a bad person, I want to rent you here just to be clean, and I should finish it for a month or half a month, and it won't disturb your life!"
Just when Zhao Yi was trying to persuade the old lady, a voice came from behind the door.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" , the voice is soft and soft.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just that a young man wants to rent our spare room to live in, and I didn't agree!"
The hidden courtyard door opened, and Zhao Yi, who was standing under the steps, looked up at the woman in front of the door, and was a little distracted for a moment.
With a fair face and a pair of peach blossom eyes, the tranquil breath comes straight to her, this is a girl who is admirable without powder and her own temperament.
Zhao Yi was also nurtured by the Internet in later generations, and he came to his senses in a flash.
"Hello, my name is Zhao Yi, I want to rent your empty house for a month, don't worry, I can pay off a month's rent first!"
"You come in first!"
"Hey!" , Zhao Yi followed into the courtyard gate.
When I entered the courtyard gate, I passed the shadow wall and there was a courtyard with one square and two deviations, and Zhao Yi looked around.
The quiet girl looked at Zhao Yi, "This small courtyard is where my grandmother and I live, and the room is empty, but there has been no one living in it, so it's a bit messy!" ”
"It's okay, as long as you can live in someone, I don't dislike it!"
"Then take a look!"
Then I walked towards the side room, pushed open the door, and the space in the room was not much, almost forty square meters, a wooden bed and a water tank, pot, stove and cupboard, the space seemed smaller and smaller.
It may have been a long time since there was a habit, so a lot of dust has fallen.
"I look good, I don't know how much you want to rent?"
The old woman stood behind the girl and gently pulled the other party's sleeve, the girl looked back, and then looked at Zhao Yi who was standing in front of the door.
"Ten yuan a month, and I won't refund it if I don't live there!"
"Okay!"
Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't even return the price, he immediately agreed, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
"The money will be done as you say, and I don't know how to cook, can you please make the meal together, don't worry, I'll add money!" I'll add another five dollars, and I'll pay for the food myself. ”
The girl nodded and agreed, it didn't take much effort to add someone, it was really hard to refuse, after all, the other party gave a lot of money!
"My name is Yin Tao, but we have to say yes, and I'll cook some home-cooked food!"
"It's okay, I'm not picky, this is money, you order!" , took the money out of his pocket and handed it over.
Seeing that the other party accepted the money, Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Nacheng, I see that there is no stove and coal in the house, I can't stand it this night, I'll go sell a stove and coal first!" ”
After talking to the two, Zhao Yi went straight to the coal stove.
In the yard, the old man looked at his granddaughter, "You, aren't you afraid of other people's irresponsible opinions?" ”
"I don't look like a bad guy like him, besides, I have a child with me, and I'm afraid of what others will say!"
Seeing her granddaughter's unmoved appearance, the old lady's eyes were full of distress, and she stroked the other party's cheeks, "Silly boy, but it's hard for you!" ”
"Grandma, I'm not bitter, as long as I have you, I'm not bitter!" , the girl hugged the old man's arm and said coquettishly.
"Silly boy!"
"Grandma, people have rented our yard, and you can give a lot of money, so I'll go and clean it first!"
"Hmm!"
The little three wheels were pulling a cart of coal, and when they returned to the yard, they saw the other party cleaning in their room, and saw Zhao Yi coming back and nodding and saying hello.
The master who delivered the coal unloaded the coal out of the window, and then carried the stove into the house, and the table and bedboard had been wiped clean, and the floor had been cleaned.
With the help of the master, the stove was quickly installed, the firewood was lit and the coal was pressed, and after a while, the whole room began to radiate warmth, Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction.
When I went out, I looked at the grandmother in the yard and said, "Grandma, I'll go out again, and I still have some bedding to move over!" ”
"Hey, go ahead, be careful on the road!"
Walking out of the courtyard and out of the street, in fact, the bedding and daily necessities are all placed in their own supermarket space, and it is just a reason to come out to move things.
walked around the street for a while, and then went back to the small courtyard, turned the alley and saw that there was no one around, so he took out the bedding from the supermarket space, and then thought about it and took out five catties of white noodles from the supermarket space, and took out a two-pound piece of bacon, and slipped back to the courtyard in his hand.
After entering the small courtyard, I put away the cover rolls, and the old lady just came out.
"Grandma, this is the food I handed in, where do you see it?"
Looking at a large piece of bacon handed by Zhao Yi and the noodle bag in her hand, the old lady led Zhao Yi into the main house, the space in the house was much more spacious and bright than the side room, with a plate of kang inside, and then a small kitchen.
Yin Tao, who was pasting the carton on the kang, watched Zhao Yi come in with a bag of bacon noodles, nodded, and then concentrated on pasting the carton, the movements in his hands were skillful, and there was a four or five-year-old girl lying on the kang table, and Zhao Yi looked curiously when he saw him coming in.
After putting the food away, Zhao Yi went out of the main house, and then went back to his own room, spread the futon, dragged off his coat and lay on the bed, the whole person relaxed, and the charcoal fire in the stove in the house burned vigorously, until the water in the kettle above was churning and bursting with water vapor.
Zhao Yi got up and lifted the boiling kettle, took out the water cup, took out the milk powder in the supermarket, made himself a cup, and then sat by the stove and drank it.
I don't really like to drink milk powder, but my bones are a little lean and malnourished, and I need to supplement some nutrition.
A cup of milk powder went down to the stomach, the whole person was warm inside and out, and added some charcoal fire to the stove, and then lay on the bed thinking that the grandma at home didn't know if it was good or not, and the father and mother must be worried about themselves, I don't know if the younger brothers and sisters are well-behaved.
Thinking of the naughty appearance of the second and third children on weekdays, it is estimated that they were beaten by their mothers, or their daughters, the little sister at home is well-behaved and sensible, and the most loved by the whole family.
Thinking about it, I thought of Yin Tao again, the other party should be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in this era, the quiet and weak temperament is really special, but unfortunately the children are four or five years old.
It's been a long time since I came out by myself, and then I have to think about how to take root in this forty-nine city, and then I suddenly thought of the stupid pillar of one side.
If nothing changes, the other party should work in the rolling mill, the rolling mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of people, whether you have the opportunity to enter the factory, if you can get a worker's vest, it is an enviable identity in this era.
In fact, I don't have much demand for the title of public person, I just want this identity, and with this identity, I can be regarded as a stable landing, and I can continue to do so.
This direction is correct, but how can I enter the rolling mill?
By the way, if I remember correctly, the deputy director of the rolling mill should be Deputy Director Li, who is not a good bird, greedy for money and lustful.
Although he is colorless, he is not short of money, and if he can get through the door of Deputy Director Li, this thing should be done.
It seems that the next few days will have to be busy, so I started with this deputy director Li, made up my mind, and then thought about how to approach the other party.
Thinking about the money left on his body, it is estimated that he will inevitably be bitten by the other party at that time, but he is not short of money, as long as this thing can be done, he feels that it is worth it.
It seems that we will have to ship a few more shipments in the future, and we will go to the old dog to deliver a batch of goods in two days.
Zhao Yi was closing his eyes and thinking about recuperation, when the door was knocked on by Grandma Liu, "Xiao Zhao, the meal is ready, come over for dinner!" ”
Turning over the window and looking at the sunset outside the window, this time is really fast, "Hey, here it is!" ”
got up and put on a cotton coat, and entered the main room, the little girl sat on the kang obediently, staring at a plate of fried bacon on the table with a pair of big eyes, and the saliva on the side of her mouth was about to drip down.
Grandma Liu put the dishes and chopsticks on the kang table, beckoned Zhao Yi to go to the kang, and saw Zhao Yi take off her shoes and go to the kang, and the little girl came back to her senses, and looked at Zhao Yi curiously while letting go to the side.
"Xiaoxue, it's called Uncle Zhao!"
"Hello Uncle Zhao!" , the little girl shouted obediently.
Zhao Yi reached into his pocket and took out a few candies from the supermarket space and handed them to the little girl, looking at the fruit candy handed by Zhao Yi, the little girl looked at her own adult.
"If your Uncle Zhao gives it to you, you can take it!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!" The little girl happily took the candy.
"Don't give it next time!" , Grandma Liu looked at Xiaoxue and told Zhao Yi.
"It's okay, I like to eat myself, I don't have much money!"
After Zhao Yi sat down on the kang, Yin Tao came out of the kitchen, put a bowl of noodles in front of Zhao Yi, and then put the steamed stick noodles on the head.
"I don't know if it's to your taste!"
"It's delicious!" , looking at the fried bacon and white noodles in front of him, while on the other side is a stack of fried cabbage, steamed stick noodles and wotou.
Zhao Yi didn't say anything, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started eating!
"Well, it's delicious, this taste has caught up with my mother's craftsmanship, I haven't eaten such strong noodles for a long time, and then I picked up the bacon and tasted it!" , admiring while eating.
Then he put down the dishes and chopsticks with a solemn expression on his face and looked at Yin Tao.
"I suddenly feel that the food fee I paid you is a bit low!"
Looking at Zhao Yi's solemn appearance, Yin Tao didn't know how to speak for a while, "Actually, it's not low!" ”
"Otherwise, I won't add money, but in the future, I will provide the ingredients for the three meals, let's eat together, otherwise it will be wasted, I want to taste more of your good craftsmanship, do you think?"
Yin Tao looked at Zhao Yi, and then at Xiao Xue, who was staring at bacon, "Okay!" ”
"Haha, that's good, it's rare to meet you with such good cooking skills, it's actually me who earned it!"
Then picked up a piece of chopsticks and bacon and put it in Xiaoxue's bowl, and the little girl looked up at her adult.
"Let's talk about it!"
Yin Tao nodded at Xiaoxue, "Eat!" ”
The little girl immediately ate a large piece of food, and her mouth was full of oil, "Grandma Liu, you can also taste it!", and picked two large chopsticks as she spoke.
"Yin Tao's craftsmanship is really nothing to say!"
"Uncle Zhao, my mother's cooking is delicious!"
