Chapter Eighty-Nine

The next day, Wu Jin got up late.

He got up and tied his hair and dressed, the sky was already bright, he pushed open the window first, and was about to support it, when a cold air invaded in, and the clouds were dense outside, the cold wind and snow rolled into clouds, and the eyes of the fall were blurred.

He hurriedly closed the window, changed into a thick cotton robe, and opened the door to go out.

There was also a thin layer of snow floating in the palm-sized place under the eaves, and the yard was frozen hard and solid, Wu's mother barely cleared a way, and went to the cake shop with Wu's father, and there were still several slipping marks on the ground.

There was also a stack of broken tiles piled up in one corner, which must have slid down with the snow and shattered.

He went into the kitchen to scoop water, wash his face and rinse his mouth, sat down in front of the stove, poked open the fire, added firewood, and when the fire was hot, he put a large piece of charcoal in it and burned it.

The water sitting in the pot was hot, he scooped a bowl and drank it slowly, and when his body was warm, he went to heat the six oil cakes that were left from yesterday's sale.

He ate three cakes with hot water, found a shovel, shoveled the snow with one hand, first broke up the layer of snow that had frozen under the eaves, and then shoveled a way out of the yard when the snow was light.

was busy in full swing, and Wu Yi got up in a hurry.

"Brother!" He shouted in the room, "Brother, come quickly!" This place is going to collapse! ”

Wu Jin cautiously walked around, pushed the door to look, and saw Wu Yi standing on the bed tremblingly, yawning with his mouth wide open, and the sneezing came out before the yawn was finished.

"There, brother, listen!"

He looked up along Wu Yi's hand, and saw that he didn't know which beam above his head, as if he couldn't bear it, and let out a "crunch" sound.

"Get up," Wu Jin dragged Wu Yi off the bed, although he knew that this was not a thatched house, and it would not collapse for a while, he was still worried in his heart, "You eat first, eat and go to the shop, I will go to find the construction commander of the store, let them come and see." ”

Wu Yi was on vacation today, and as soon as he heard that he was going to the cake shop, he was reluctant to wear cotton clothes, wrap them tightly, and go out to wash and eat.

Wu Jin continued to break the snow blocks, and when he was busy, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door: "Brother Jin, are you here?" ”

"Yes, uncle, wait." Wu Jin put aside the shovel, walked carefully, opened the door and saw that it was the housekeeper of the house.

"Uncle Zou, I was about to go to the house store to find you."

Zou held an umbrella, and his mouth and nose went straight out: "Your aunt has looked for me, saying that she wants to rent a new house, there is a mansion that you enter, in Baijiaqiao, your mother asked me to take you to see, if it is suitable, it will be settled." ”

"Okay," Wu Jin nodded, "I'll go get the umbrella, and I'll be able to go." ”

"I'll go too!" Wu Yi pinched a cake and came out, "Brother, I'll go with you too, it's snowing today, and the shop is not busy!" ”

Wu Jin nodded, went to get an umbrella, covered his younger brother, and the three of them walked towards Baijiaqiao together.

The house is on the right side of the state school, and the regular and neat one enters the triple courtyard, the main house is three, the left and right half ears, the east and west wings are three rooms each, there is no south room, the south side of the east wing is the kitchen, and the official room is on the south side of the west wing.

Although it is only a first entry into the courtyard, the frame is very high, the beams and wood that stretch out are solid and round, and the snow is thick and pressed on the roof tiles, without the slightest effect.

A yellow sand jar was placed outside the west wing, and a bucket stood in front of the kitchen door.

Wu Jin pushed open the doors of each house and looked at it, and came out to ask Zou relatives: "Uncle Zou, how much does this house cost a month?" ”

Zou said: "Liangguan, it's quiet here, it's not a narrow house in the alley like Shishi Street, and it's not far from the state school." ”

Wu Jin nodded, thinking carefully.

Wu Yi jumped up and down on the side, he couldn't wait to move in immediately, he wanted to have his own house, so that he could invite Liu Bowen to come to the house as a guest.

"Cheng, Uncle Zou," Wu Jin nodded, "I'll go get the money, and then I'll sign the lease with you." ”

"Oh! I want to live in a private room! Wu Yi cheered, jumped up, and then fell to the ground with a "pop".

He said "ouch" twice, rubbed his buttocks and got up, bent down to dust off the snow, slapped his whole body up and down, and followed Wu Jin out, smiling all over his face.

After saying goodbye to the Zou family, the two brothers walked to Shishi Street, Wu Yi pestered Wu Jin to ask for a seal cake to eat, while eating and watching, just after eating, suddenly several teenagers hit the horse and came to meet him, one of them grabbed the bridle, stepped on the saddle and jumped down: "Wu Yi!" ”

He has a round head, a round face and round eyes, and two eyebrows on his face like two arched bridges, showing a bit of honesty, looking not much older than Wu Yi, but his eyes turn between the Wu brothers, and he is very clever.

"Liu Bowen!" Wu Yi immediately greeted him with a dance, "It's a cold day, didn't you say you couldn't go out?" ”

Liu Bowen smiled: "It's the brothers at home who have something to do, so they have to take me, is this your brother?" ”

Wu Yi nodded hurriedly and said to Wu Jin: "Brother, this is Liu Bowen." ”

Liu Bowen hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, I have heard his name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet in such a situation, it is really rude." ”

Wu Jin turned sideways to avoid his salute, and said thoughtfully: "You don't have to see outside." ”

Wu Yi grinned and took Liu Bowen's arm, happily telling him that his family was going to change places to live, and invited him to come to the house as a guest, the two said a few words, the voice was quiet, Liu Bowen squeezed his eyebrows, as if he was agreeing to meet Wu Yi.

At the end, Liu Bowen was going to chase his brother, so he didn't whisper to Wu Yi, and raised his head and said to Wu Jin: "Does Brother Wu look familiar to me?" ”

Wu Jin frowned: "No." ”

Liu Bowen smiled playfully: "I have a distant cousin named Liu Chengqi, and Brother Wu should have met two years ago." ”

Liu Chengqi!

Wu Jin "buzzed" in his head, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he returned to normal, silent and did not answer.

Liu Bowen said again: "It's been three years since the New Year, if it wasn't for my cousin to mention it after he went back, we wouldn't know." ”

Wu Yi stood aside, looked at Wu Jin, and then looked at Liu Bowen: "Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" ”

Liu Bowen didn't answer, turned over and got on the horse: "I'll go first, Brother Wu, I'll visit another day." ”

When he left, Wu Yi reached out to pull Wu Jin: "Brother, have you seen Liu Bowen's cousin?" Does his cousin like you very much, and still remembers having a relationship with you after so long? ”

Wu Jin didn't answer a word, he threw away Wu Yi's hand like a hot hand, and felt harsh about Wu Yi's naΓ―ve language, and he thought about the Liu family's intentions for a long time, and glanced at Wu Yi coldly: "You go back to the shop, don't go out with Liu Bowen in the future." ”

Wu Yi subconsciously wanted to ask why, but faintly sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to ask more, followed Wu Jin back to Shishi Street, and went to the shop alone.

Wu Jin went into the house and took two pieces of money, went to the house to re-sign the lease book with Uncle Zou, and paid a month's rental money, the first five days are the moving days, and the lease period is not done, starting from November 17.

After completing this thing, Wu Jin was cold, the snow was like a mat, he couldn't stop for a moment, the sky had turned blue and black, and it was heavy on the top of his head, making it difficult for people to straighten his head and feet, as for the snow, it was a white thing, but it suddenly became a minion, densely holding him in it, and he couldn't escape.

Also, the Liu family is so enduring, waiting for a long time like a cat and mouse, and only then stretched out a little minions at this time, how could they let him escape.
