Dou Xueer, Dai Yuqin, and Xie Lifen decided to live in a low-rent housing community first, renting two bedrooms. Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen shared a larger double room, and the rent was thirty cents per month.

Dou Xueer lives in one room by herself, and the monthly rent is only twenty cents. The two rooms add up to fifty cents, which is five kilograms of rice. It's like asking for no money.

You can find a job in the city and earn back the money in a few days.

"We would like to pay an additional two cents for cleaning fee per room per month, one cent for security fee, one cent for green plant maintenance, which adds up to four cents. In addition, we would like to pay another three months' deposit. We will be given a lot of money when we check out.

"First of all, the deposit for that key is one hundred cents. It is made of brass. If you lose the deposit, the deposit will not be refunded. We must be careful not to lose it." said the female registrar at the low-rent housing registration office.

said.

"No problem!" The three of them happily paid and took the keys.

When handing them the deposit slip, the female registrar said specifically: "Don't worry even if you lose the deposit slip. Even if you don't have the deposit slip, they will remember it clearly and there will be no mistake."

, will the deposit be refunded to us when the time comes? That's against the rules. The princess is the most charitable person in the world."

"Girl, are you right?" The three of them laughed.

Dai Yuqin asked: "Does the girl know where there is a place selling sheets, bedding, pots and pans nearby?"

The registrar said: "Do you want to buy a brand new one? There is a comprehensive market in the city. You can go in from Zhenyuan Gate and you will see it in two steps. Do you want to save some money? We have one right there.

The two-leg trading market is right next to the public bathhouse."

"Thank you!"

The three of them thanked her. Dou Xueer walked out of the registration office and suddenly came back and asked, "That's wrong. Can the girl be a maid from the prince's palace?"

The registrar smiled sweetly: "That's true!"

"The girls trained by Empress Leg Didong are all so kind and capable." Dou Xueer complimented the registrar.

"That's not true!" the registrar raised Dongba's face with pride.

The three of them went back to the house to put away their luggage, and then they decided to go to what the registrar called the "Two Legs Market" first.

After walking around eight rows of houses, you will see a small garden, which is simple yet elegant. There are even four swings set up in the small garden.

Xie Lifen pointed to the swings and said, "I wonder if the princess is a wonderful person. She doesn't believe that the person who built the house remembered to set up a few swings there."

The roads outside the community are all paved with cement. Vegetables are grown on the exposed dirt beside the road. There are two or three ladies taking care of it, followed by a few chickens.

At that time, a strong female warrior dressed in black and wearing an iron ruler around her waist came up and said, "He said, although the princess gave us permission to grow vegetables there, she also said not to dirty the road, right?"

Don’t forget to shovel the chicken shit on the road and wipe it clean! If he sees chicken shit on the road again, he will definitely tell Jing’er that we are not allowed to live there anymore!”

The women rushed over and nodded in agreement, then stuffed a big radish into the leg of the strong woman in black: "Miss Yanchun is the most kind! We know! Don't let that chicken run onto the road.

Just don’t do it now!”

The strong female warrior in black snorted, turned around and walked towards another side road.

Dou Xueer, Dai Yuqin, and Xie Lifen looked at Yanchun's tall back. Dai Yuqin all said with envy: "So that person is the security guard there. He looks so majestic."

Xie Lifen also sighed: "Working with that princess's wife makes us women look a little bit human."

The three of them arrived at the public bathhouse, and from afar they noticed that there were people coming and going.

The public bathhouse and the canteen are located opposite each other at a cross street. There are densely packed small vendors on both sides of the street. It is chaotic but lively, and the air is filled with the aroma of various snacks.

"Auntie, hello, is there a 'two-leg market' there?" Dai Yuqin politely asked a nearby stall owner selling washbasins.

"There are new ones and old ones! They are all on the four streets! Do you want a washbasin? Look at the aluminum basins there! They are light and not easy to break! They are all 80% new and sold at a discount!" The aunt then started to solicit.

Business is over.

The three of them looked at the silver washbasins that the lady was selling. At first they thought they were made of silver, but they wondered why the people there were so brave and made the basins out of silver. But when they picked them up, they realized they were so light.

!

At that time, there was a stage at the entrance of the canteen, and suddenly someone was beating a big gong, and many people gathered towards the stage.

"Please sing! Go quickly!"

"What will you sing tomorrow?"

"I don't know, "Taking Poyang Lake Outsmart"?"

"But he prefers to watch "The Feather Girl"."

"He wants to watch "The Condor Heroes"!"

…

The surroundings were too noisy, so Dai Yuqin turned up the volume, bent to the east and shouted: "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"aluminum!"

"What's aluminum?"

"Aluminum is aluminum! Madam, should I buy it? Fifty cents each! It's light and won't break! It's much easier to use than that wooden basin!"

…

At first, the three of them bargained down to thirty-five cents, and one of them bought a small aluminum washbasin.

Walking further back, there are several stalls selling bedding and cotton wool, and not far away there is a four-story red brick building.

"What kind of building is that? It's very beautiful!" Dai Yuqin asked another stall owner selling clothes.

The stall owner said: "What about the library?"

"Library what?"

"A place to read books! He said that the hairpins he has there are all defective products made by Baoyue Pavilion and sold at a low price. Ladies, let's take a look!"

The three of them ignored the lady selling hairpins and walked straight to the library.

When I walked to the door, I realized that each of my legs was holding a basin. I suddenly felt that I couldn't laugh or cry. I couldn't look at the place where I was reading with the basin, so I was ready to go back. I didn't want a girl to come out of the building and said with a smile:

"Can you ladies come here for the first time? Don't be shy, come in and take a look!"

The three of them were embarrassed for a while holding the basin in their legs. The girl smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay! Come and have a look even if you don't know how to read! We have a literacy class there!" Then he pulled the three of them in and took out the basin.

A wooden sign with a timetable written on it said: "They have at least two literacy classes every day, and they are all free. They also give you a small cloth bag with two charcoal pencils in it..."

"No, I misunderstood, they can't read." Dou Xueer quickly laughed.

Wei Yuniang was stunned, her eyes glanced back and forth around the three people, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Are you ladies here to apply for the literacy class teacher?!"

The three of them were stunned. The girl took them to the tea table near the glass window as if something great had happened to her. Then she started to boil water with a copper kettle, took out some tea leaves and began to entertain them.

How many.

Dou Xueer waved her legs again and said: "Girl, please don't go now. They are all from Henan. They have just arrived in Taiyuan not long ago. They are not familiar with the place and don't understand the rules there. They can't come here."

Just out of curiosity."

When the girl heard this, she paused while holding the tea leaves in her lap, and said with some disappointment: "So you are from Henan! Those who come to Taiyuan, are they likely to come over to visit relatives and friends?"

"They..." The three of them looked at each other, and Dou Xueer said: "They heard that Princess Jin had many girls' schools in Shanxi, so they wanted to come to Taiyuan to find the princess and ask her if she was in need of female teachers."

"Of course there is a shortage! There is a shortage there!" The girl suddenly became enthusiastic again, "The students in the literacy class over there are all workers, and they work in the city. They are fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

Come and listen when you have time, and there is no way to arrange homework or anything like that. Being a teacher there is no more impressive than the teachers in the school. But their time is flexible, the work is easy, and the monthly salary is only a little...

"

While the girl was speaking, an aunt suddenly opened the door and came in, carrying a large sack on her back and a big red goose that squawked in her legs.

"Mr. Lingxiu!" she called as soon as she entered the door.

"Hey!" the girl responded, asking Dou Xueer and the others to wait for a moment, and she would come back as soon as she left.

"Mr. Lingxiu, I want to write a letter to my son."

Lingxiu said: "He is not free now, I will go inside to look for Lingxi."

"Okay! That's great. Then Goose has that bag of potatoes. Let's help him take it to school!"

"Hey, Grandma Yao, I don't have to be so polite!"

"That's not possible! His wife's five grandchildren are all studying in primary school. Not only do they not charge money, but they also give them one meal every day! Oh, where can you find living Bodhisattvas like us! The princess doesn't care about my wife.

Big goose, please give it to us female gentlemen as a courtesy."

"Grandma Yao, are you a good person?"

Lingxiu stopped being polite and led Grandma Yao to the yard at the back. After a while, she trotted back.

"You guys have been waiting for a long time."

She walked east and started making tea again, but found that the three ladies in front of her were looking at her with admiration.

The one who looked the prettiest among them asked: "I just heard that lady call you sir."

Lingxiu nodded and said with a smile: "Going a little further west, there is Zhaoyue Primary School. In addition to residents outside the city, there are many farmers nearby. Li Yi has twelve classes and thirteen teachers. Originally,

There are not enough human legs, and they really want to take turns attending the literacy class there, so they want to hire a special literacy class teacher."

"Are there no fees for literacy classes?" Dai Yuqin asked in disbelief.
