196 Lunch Boxes
Li Daniu and Ren Yan are about to enter the city, and Zhao Yong has already helped to contact the kindergarten, and now there is only one place to stay.
Li Manjun made a lot of phone calls according to the rental information in the newspaper, and used his spare time to personally visit several houses, and finally found a suitable one today.
Cheap, good location and the house is kept clean.
The only drawback is that it is a little smaller, only more than 20 square meters, and it is a large single room.
But it is completely enough to live only Li Daniu's family of three.
Moreover, as an intermediate station connecting the upper and lower levels, the cost performance has been achieved to the extreme in all aspects.
The house is optimistic, Li Manjun called his cousin and sister-in-law as soon as he got home.
There were only two telephones in the village, and when they were called to the village chief, the village chief had to call someone, and Li Manjun waited next to the phone for more than ten minutes before receiving a call back.
If you want her to say that the beeping machine in Li Dalong's hand should be given to Li Daniu to use, it is really a waste to hang Li Dalong on the bedside.
The phone was picked up, and Ren Yan's excited voice sounded on the other side, "Manjun?" Heard the house was found? β
"Yes, I went to see it in person today, and I think it's pretty good, you see when you have time, come and have a look as soon as possible." Li Manjun said with a smile.
Ren Yan immediately turned around and asked Li Daniu beside him, "Let's go to the city tomorrow?" β
Li Daniu nodded, and Ren Yan replied to Li Manjun: "We will come tomorrow, tomorrow morning, do you see that it is convenient for you here?" I'm so sorry to trouble you, I'm so sorry to go back and wait for you and Zhao Yong to be free, let's go out to eat together, we'll have a treat. β
Li Manjun responded with a smile, "Yes, don't be in a hurry to eat, I'll pick you up at the station tomorrow morning." β
Ren Yan hurriedly said okay, hung up the phone, and the husband and wife walked home from the ridge with flashlights, thinking of the days when the family of three worked hard but was happy in the city in the future, and their steps became brisk.
Li Daniu rarely saw his wife so happy, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must establish a foothold in the city and buy a house.
At half past nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Li Daniu and his wife arrived, because the tractor was too slow, and the two took the shuttle bus into the city.
Li Manjun picked up the two at the gate of the station and drove them to the landlord to see the house.
Ren Yan touched the seat belt on her body, looked at Li Manjun, who was proficient in operating the steering wheel, and exclaimed:
"I didn't expect you to be able to drive a car, you are so capable, if you are half as good as her aunt in the future, your brother and I can wake up laughing when we fall asleep."
Li Manjun looked at the traffic light, the red light was on, parked the car in front of the zebra crossing, turned around and said with a smile:
"Generation after generation is getting better than the next, and they will only be more powerful than us every year in the future, because their starting point is the end point of our creation."
"Their starting point is the end point of our creation......." Ren Yan repeated this sentence twice, and the more she read it, the more she felt an indescribable feeling.
How she wished she had a higher finish so that her child would run farther than herself.
Therefore, she and Da Niu have to work harder.
"Here it is, that's it." Li Manjun pointed to the alley in front of him, "You get out of the car first, the alley inside is too narrow for the car to drive into, I'll park the car next to it and we'll go over together." β
"Okay."
The two got out of the car and waited for her, looking at the four- and five-story buildings on both sides of the road, as well as the high-rise buildings under construction not far away, they looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing, looking forward to seeing the house Li Manjun said.
If the negotiation is completed today, it will be their home in Rongcheng in the future.
Li Manjun parked the car, waved at the two, and led the two to find the landlord.
The house is a self-built building, the landlord's own house, the first floor is self-occupied, and the three floors upstairs are rented.
This small building is also new, it was built in the late eighties, and it has only been four or five years, and the white walls of the house are very clean.
Li Manjun was worried that this large single room was a bit small, and his cousin and sister-in-law might not be very satisfied.
But in fact, she thought too much about it, and the couple were very satisfied with the boxy, painted white walls, and bright room.
"This is better than the newly built western-style building of our village chief's house." When the landlord led Li Daniu to see the shared bathroom, Ren Yan quietly bit Li Manjun's ear.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Li Manjun's heart finally landed.
"When the time comes, draw a curtain in the middle of the room and put a small bed, so that you can sleep in a bed by yourself."
Ren Yan planned enthusiastically, "There is a desk under the windowsill here, where the light is good, it is good to do homework every year, you can also cook in the corridor, it is close to the toilet, and it is convenient to pour water and take a bath." β
They really didn't ask for much, they took a fancy to this single room at a glance, and signed a contract with the landlord on the same day.
"When she comes, I will take her to adapt for two months, and I will go to preschool in September, which is just right." The more Ren Yan thought about it, the more satisfied she became.
After the rental contract was signed, it was noon, and Li Manjun took the two to a nearby shop for lunch.
Li Daniu rushed to pay, looking wary of being afraid that she would go to the checkout, Li Manjun couldn't cry or laugh.
There are more people in the restaurant, and the boss stir-fries three pots together, but it is still not fast.
Li Manjun waited boredly with his chin propped up, and said with emotion: "It would be nice if there was a fast food canteen, take it and eat it." β
"The cafeteria?" Ren Yan didn't understand too much, "What canteen?" Aunt her, do you want to eat in the cafeteria? β
Without waiting for Li Manjun to answer, he immediately pulled Li Daniu, who was looking at the menu on the wall, "Her aunt wants to eat in the cafeteria, or let's go to the cafeteria." β
I also want to say that I will return the money for this order, which is too difficult to wait.
Before he could say anything, he was stopped by Li Manjun, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood, I mean fast food." β
The husband and wife turned their heads to look at her in confusion, "What is fast food?" β
Li Manjun made an analogy, "You know the big pot of rice in the school cafeteria, right? β
The husband and wife nodded, this knows, there is a cafeteria at noon in the middle school of Shinan Town, a big pot of rice to eat, a meat dish of five cents, meat and vegetables with two cents and five cents, a vegetarian dish of one cent, and rice five cents.
Li Manjun saw the husband and wife's two pairs of knowledge-seeking eyes, and suddenly had an idea.
"The fast food I am talking about is like a school cafeteria, first fry the vegetables, one pot at a time, order a few dishes every day, prepare them in advance in the morning, and come at noon, one person will send a plate, just scoop it directly, cheap big bowls, economical."
The husband and wife glanced at each other, scratched their heads and smiled, "There are many tricks in the city, and this is the first time we have heard this." β
I didn't really think about moving the cafeteria outside.
Li Manjun said: "In fact, you can also directly make a boxed lunch packed into boxes and sell them directly in crowded places, such as construction sites and school gates, set a good price, pay and take it away." β
The husband and wife said that they had risen their posture, but they didn't understand Li Manjun's prompts.
Li Manjun had no choice but to say directly: "There are a lot of construction sites in Rongcheng, sister-in-law, you just entered the city and don't know what to do, why don't you try to sell box lunches?" This cost is low, you don't need a faΓ§ade, you just have a tricycle. β
"It's really not good, carts are fine."
The husband and wife were shocked, her aunt's idea was really good!
