Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was only the beginning of the year at this time, and now the problem of the final payment has been solved, and everything he earned this year can be saved, and his hand can be more relaxed, so that he will not hand over the money and die tightly.

He picked up the porridge that had become warm on the side, drank a few sips, served a few mustards, and finished a bowl in one bowl, and then grabbed a meat bun wrapped in newspaper on the table, said hello to the old man and mother-in-law, and then went out again.

You have to put the house in place first.

If you really want to do one thing seriously, you won't really do just one, and there are many stumbling blocks and thorns and grasses on the road to your destination, and there will be no less things to follow.

He was not familiar with the small village nearby, and he had never been in, at most he had only passed by, and he didn't know which village chief was.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw a group of old women sitting there basking in the sun, he looked at them, they were also staring at him, looking at him a little scalp numb, the original lively talking voices were quiet, and the children who were running and jumping on the side also quickly dodged.

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly, is this treating him as a human trafficker? Is there such a handsome trafficker?

He touched his cheek, feeling that he should be able to kill all ages, and suddenly he was full of confidence and stepped forward with a smile.

"Grandma, basking in the sun? The sun is pretty good these days, basking in the sun, sterilizing. ”

"Oops, sun, sun......"

"Who are you? Where did it come from? What are you doing in our village? ”

"It doesn't look like a merchant, and he doesn't carry a burden, and his hands are empty...... Isn't it here to step on something? Tell the children to stay away and not come out. ”

"I heard that the newspaper said a few days ago that there were many arrests, and they came out again so soon?"

Ye Yaodong: "? ”

Do you think he can't understand the local dialect? said it so directly, although the words spoken in each town on their side may be different, but some individual tones are comprehensible, and he can still know a little bit of it.

He hurriedly explained, "No, Grandma, I want to find the village chief, can you tell me how to get there?" ”

"Ah, looking for the village chief?"

"Yes, how do you go to the village committee?"

They don't understand the language, Grandma doesn't speak Mandarin, they talk to each other, and they can probably understand what the other party is talking about anyway.

"Looking for the village chief? That shouldn't look like a bad guy......"

"Go forward, turn right at the intersection to the end and then turn left, turn left after turning and see the road, there is a wooden board at the door that says Xinghua Zhongcun Village Committee."

"Oh, good, good...... Then I'll go, and you guys will continue to bask in the sun. ”

Ye Yaodong walked forward on his legs, and everywhere he passed, the children avoided him, as if he was some kind of plague? And the gaze behind him has been like a thorn.

He finally realized what it felt like for strangers to enter their village.

After shaking his head helplessly, he walked a few quick steps, while the children playing around him hid even farther away.

What's worse is that he forgot which side of the road that Grandma pointed out just now turned at the intersection of the road?

"The kid is coming ......"

"Don't, you're a bad person......"

Ye Yaodong's mouth instantly bent down, crying and mourning, "Where am I like a bad person?" ”

"You look like a bad guy now, and my mother said that strangers from outside, as long as they take the initiative to talk to our children, are bad people."

It is true that strangers do not usually talk to children, but he asks for directions.

"No, I won't call you over, you just tell me how to go to the village committee, I forgot." Ye Yaodong was helpless.

An older child stretched out his hand and pointed to the path next to him, and Ye Yaodong turned into the path under the gaze of the grandmother who was following behind him.

After turning left and right, he attracted the attention of a large group of women around him, and he went around in a big circle before he saw a wooden board with the name of the village committee written on it.

I wiped the sweat on my forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not easy, he was vigilant all the way, up to 80 years old, down to 3 years old, and all the people who walked by stared at him.

At this moment, there were two old men behind him, and when he walked into the village committee, the two old men were still sitting on a stone on one side, and their eyes were still staring at the village committee.

I don't know if it's the sequelae of human traffickers that broke out in their county some time ago, or if they have lost their children everywhere, so they are so vigilant?

He was a little nervous all the way, for fear that he would behave incorrectly or be impolite and be beaten!

When he entered the village committee, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was said that it was a village committee, but in fact it was a small courtyard, and as soon as he walked in, he called a few times at the door.

"Anyone? Anyone? ”

"Who?"

"That's... Hello comrade, I would like to ask if there is a house to rent in your village? ”

"Renting a house? No, no, where can I rent a house, every family is not enough to live in, who will rent it? A middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples waved him away directly, and then turned around to go in.

"Wait, uncle, I'm really here to rent a house, I bought a stall in the market next to me, it's not convenient to eat and live there, so I want to come and rent a house, thinking that your village is quite close......"

At this moment, the middle-aged man stopped, "You bought a stall over there?" ”

"Yes, if you don't have to rent it, some of them can be sold, if someone has a new house, and the old house is not lived, it can be sold to me, look at your village, there are also two sets of buildings......"

The middle-aged man looked at him carefully several times, only to find that he was a little familiar, "You are the young man who bought two stalls?" ”

I have to be familiar, I bought two stores at such a young age, and everyone remembers him, but I just didn't think about it for a while, and I didn't think about it in that direction.

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up instantly, do you recognize him? If you recognize him, it's easy to do.

"Yes, yes, Uncle also bought a stall? Was he there when the lot was drawn? My stall is already open to sell dried fish, you don't have to worry that I'm a bad person, come to the village to pick up the children. I am a good person, a good youth, a good citizen......"

"I am the head of this village, and my name is Wei Aiguo. The dried fish shop is yours, huh? It looked like two old ones were watching there, and there were several rental cards posted at the door, and I thought it was rented out. The middle-aged man was also relieved now, and beckoned him to sit inside.

"It's my father and mother who watch the shop, alas, your village is so vigilant, as soon as I came in, I was stared at from the head of the village, worried that I was a human trafficker."

"It's not all, hehe, it's the past few years that I have started to catch ultrasound, and everyone is scared, and they are all staring at strangers when they see them entering the village. Our village is not big, there are less than 100 households, but they are basically the same surname, you just said that you want to come and rent a house, right? ”

"If you can buy it, you can do it."

First of all, the land was occupied in advance, and it was also around the city, and later it developed, and sooner or later it was also zoned to the city, although the land is not valuable, but it is not easy for outsiders to go to other villages to buy land and buy houses, because of xenophobia.

The villages in the south are all clan concentrations, and basically every village has the same surname.

Because their village is close to the sea, the older generation has nothing to eat, so they go to the beach to beg for a living, and then a lot of them take root, so they have surnames and everything.

Village Chief Wei took turns tapping on the table with his fingertips, with a pensive expression, "I have to ask the villagers to buy a house, who has more houses than they are willing to sell, and ordinary people will not sell them, so you can ask about renting." ”

"It's okay, we are all people who do our duty, Village Chief Wei can rest assured, you can rent and buy."

"I'll ask, I'll have to ask this first, Ming."

"Hey, I'm not necessarily in the store tomorrow, you can go to the store and tell my father-in-law, and he will tell me."

Wei Aiguo was suddenly surprised, "It's my father-in-law, not my father?" ”

"That's right, it's my father-in-law, and it's my father anyway."

Now he was a little appreciative, and after saying so much, he thought that his father showed him the shop, and he rented a house for his father, but it turned out to be his father-in-law, but it was rare for him to be so close.

"Okay, I'll say hello, I'll go to the store tomorrow and tell your father-in-law."

"What number of lots did the village chief's shop draw?"

Village Chief Wei hung his head down, "Alas, don't mention it, it's the No. 4 shop at Mouth 3, and I don't know how to fix it if I still lose it there, I can't rent it, and I was scolded to death by my mother-in-law at home." ”

"In a few years, it will be lively, and there is always a process of this development, take your time."

"You're still lucky."

"Then I'll go first, and I'll wait for your news tomorrow."

"Hey, good."

After Ye Yaodong walked out, he remembered that he came empty-handed, and he didn't buy anything, which was a mistake!

He slapped his forehead, if he was carrying something in his hand, he probably wouldn't have been rejected directly just now, and he had to rely on this face to go in and speak.

If you can only make sure that you have a rent tomorrow, you can buy a few kinds of pastries to make up for it.

On the stone not far from the village committee, there were still two old men sitting, I don't know if they just sat there to bask in the sun, he shook his head speechlessly, and walked directly over with a swagger.

Then he walked out again under the watchful eyes of the women of the village and the grandmother......

It was almost noon, but no one came in or out of the store, and the second elder was also idle, put on the radio, and listened to the play.

As soon as Ye Yaodong told them that he planned to go to the village to rent a house for them, he immediately received strong opposition from them, and felt that there was no need to spend this money.

Or did he say that all the goods would be pulled over and piled up in the store, and they would soon have no place to live, so the second elder didn't speak.

"Then I'll stay for a moment and see if anyone comes over tomorrow? There are no customers at this time, your mother is watching in the store, and I will give you the money. I took it, just go back early. ”

"Okay."

He also has to go back to weigh the goods, weigh out 3,000 catties of dried fish in advance, and if there is really enough, go to Uncle Pei's friends, or see if there is any sun-dried supplement today.

Uncle Pei's friend's thousands of catties of dried dragon head fish have not yet weighed, but yesterday they weighed a few families in the village, and they have already filled the house.
