On Saturday morning, Aunt Liu borrowed the old Zhang's frame car early in the morning, and Lu Jingqiu wore a big-brimmed hat and went to the nearby battlefield with Aunt Liu. Pulled four bags of sand back.

The two of them didn't come back from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and there was no way to go a little far.

They wanted to pull a few more bags at a time, but unfortunately the women had little physical strength and the place was far away, so it was not easy to pull so many bags.

On the way, Aunt Liu also complained: "Since my family has raised a cat, it is like raising a child, hey, the key is that the more you raise it, the more addicted you are, Xiaoqiu, I now go to the vegetable market to pay attention to whether there are small fish and shrimp sold, and the first thing that comes to mind is to change the meal for my family Afu." I now finally realize the joy you have been holding your flowers. ”

Lu Jingqiu didn't think about how much she hated cats before, but now she is a cat slave: "Aunt Liu, although Ah Fu can't relieve us of housework, it can relieve us mentally." ”

She raised a cat after Gao Shu's two children went to college, at that time, Gao Shu went out early and returned late, sometimes on business trips, and the children were not at home all year round, and she was alone except for painting, which was cleaning.

The second cousin-in-law saw that she was not in good spirits during that time, and was afraid that her illness would be serious again, so she took her to the pet market to buy a cat and came back.

It's just that Gao Shu doesn't like cats, and when Gao Shu is there, she can only put them in a cage, and the kitten can only move in her bedroom.

Even so, that time with a cat really gave her a lot of joy.

It's a pity that the cat has been raised for less than two years, and in the summer of that year, it died suddenly, in fact, she knew that it was Gao Shu's eldest son who died, because he didn't like it, she didn't tell anyone at the time, she just cried secretly for a long time, and she was mentally ill.

Not long after she and Aunt Liu moved the sand home, the guards of the compound came to inform her that someone was looking for her at the door, saying that it was renting a house.

Lu Jingqiu was surprised, she had said that this house was too expensive and no one would rent it, and it was only two or three months before someone came to the door.

When I arrived at the gate of the compound, I saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old standing there dressed plainly, with big eyes that were quite smart and pretty.

"Hello comrade, are you going to rent a house?"

Xue Jianian was a little surprised when he saw Lu Jingqiu, wasn't this the comrade who bought millet from her a few days ago? I didn't expect such a coincidence.

"Yes."

Lu Jingqiu looked at her carefully, obviously not recognizing her: "Is it your family renting, or..."

"Myself."

"Yourself?" Lu Jingqiu asked again unconvincedly, and when she saw the girl nodding, she said to her: "My house is five yuan a month, and there is a well in the yard and an electric light." ”

Xue Jianian nodded and said, "The aunt next door took me to see the house, and I was very satisfied. A bed and a few pieces of furniture are needed. ”

Lu Jingqiu said: "If you are sure to rent, I can help you purchase all of these." Little comrade, I think you look like you have just come of age, are you sure you want to rent my house, in fact, we don't really want short-term tenants, if you rent for a month or two, forget it. ”

Xue Jianian said with certainty: "I really want to rent, we can sign the contract now." ”

Seeing that she insisted, Lu Jingqiu told her some details: "Bet one and pay one, can you accept it." ”

"Yes."

Seeing that she was so simple, Lu Jingqiu took her to her home, drew up a rental contract on the spot, and then read Xue Jianian's letter of introduction.

After seeing the address above, she was secretly surprised, she was actually from the same place as Wei Jincheng, and after thinking about it for a long time, she said: "Comrade Xue, I know a person who is also from you, his name is Wei Jincheng, do you know him?" ”

Xue Jianian nodded without much surprise: "Yes, he is from our village." ”

"Oh, is he married?"

Xue Jianian remembered that Lu Jingqiu didn't seem to know Jincheng, why did he suddenly inquire about him, although he didn't know what the reason was, he didn't hide it: "He didn't." ”

"Oh, so doesn't he have a fiancée at home?"

"Yes, it's me, do you know my brother Jincheng?"

After hearing this, Lu Jingqiu almost fell to the ground with the letter of introduction she was holding.

Coincidental things abound, and I can be regarded as having a positive encounter today: "Oh, I live in the compound, and I have heard of Wei Jincheng, who is very capable, and seeing that you and her are in the same place, I felt that it was a coincidence, so I asked casually." ”

In addition to the shock in my heart, I didn't ask much about it, and it was enough to have these news.

The two signed a contract, and Xue Jiannian directly gave Lu Jingqiu ten yuan, and then got into Lu Jingqiu's car and went to the house.

took Xue Jianian to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a new lock, she kept one, and gave the remaining two to Xue Jianian.

Then I went to my aunt and asked for the old key back.

Lu Jingqiu is the first time to come to this courtyard, and the house with a sense of age should have been built for decades.

The moment I opened the door, there was a heavy feeling of dampness inside, and the house was empty, and there was really no furniture.

"What do you need, I'll go to the carpenter and make it for you later."

Xue Jiannian was not polite, and said: "A bed, a wardrobe, a set of tables and chairs, an iron pot and stove in the kitchen, and I can buy the rest myself." ”

"Actually, I don't know if there is a carpenter here, so I'll ask the aunt next door."

"I know, when my aunt took me to see the house in the morning, she told me that there are people here who do carpenter work, and there is a supply and marketing cooperative not far from this alley, and there should be one who sells iron boilers."

"Oh, if you don't come with me, you can choose whatever style you want."

"Is that okay?"

"Yes."

With that, the two went out together, Xue Jianian gave the old lock to Lu Jingqiu, and it cost several pieces for a lock this year, and it can be used in the future.

As soon as the two of them locked the door, Charlene on the left next door also came out of the house, carrying a basket on her body, as if she was going to the vegetable market.

When I looked up and saw Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jiannian in front of me, I didn't know if I didn't expect it or what? was so frightened that he suddenly took two steps back, and the shock and panic in his eyes were seen by Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jiannian.

"You, you?"

Lu Jingqiu didn't want to greet her, but when she saw her pointing at them, she said angrily: "This is my home." ”

"Your home?" Charlene steadied herself, took two steps forward and said, "This is your home?" ”

In the previous life, this house was empty, and it has been empty, in this life, I thought it was idle by others, and I wanted to earn money to buy it, but I didn't expect it to be the Lu family, how could it be her family?

But what's going on with this Wei Jincheng's daughter-in-law, why did she come here, and she is still with Lu Jingqiu.

"Who is this?"

Lu Jingqiu said angrily: "I'm a tenant." ”

"You want to rent?" Xia Lin ignored Lu Jingqiu, but looked at Xue Jiannian in disbelief.

The moment Xue Jiannian saw her, his hand was already clenched into a fist, it doesn't matter, there will be time in the future, Xia Lin, we will come to a long time.

"Yes, there is a problem?"

"Nope." Charlene suddenly pulled out a smile and said, "I'm glad that we can be neighbors in the future." ”

Xue Jiannian didn't have much enthusiasm, nodded lightly at her, turned to Lu Jingqiu and said, "Let's go." ”

Lu Jingqiu didn't hesitate, pushed the cart, and the two walked in the direction of the carpenter's house.

And Charlene, who was behind her, was still in the mood to buy vegetables at this time, and went home directly with a pale face.
