Early the next morning, Fei Jingting signed in and got a box of chewing gum...
Recently, I have been catching monsters and collecting secrets. The system has given me a lot of good things. It suddenly returned to normal, and Fei Jingting was still a little uncomfortable with it.
When he went out to fetch water, Li Zhizhang was walking in the yard. In the backyard, Zheng Wenhai went to work and walked to the middle yard. When he saw Li Zhizhang, he stopped and said hello: "Hey, Inspector Li got up very early."
"
"Well, Lao Zheng, are you going to work?"
"Yes, yes... Inspector Li, you were like this last night!" Zheng Wenhai raised his thumb: "I heard it really true in the backyard, good guy, it takes an hour, right?"
Li Zhizhang was very proud: "Almost, ha, almost."
"Are you...drinking medicinal wine?"
"Tsk, what are you talking about? It's just me, why do I need to drink medicinal wine? Can I perform normally?"
Echoing a few words, Zheng Wenhai murmured in his heart, "We have been neighbors in the courtyard for many years. Who doesn't know who is who? Your wife Zhaodi often complains that you are useless. How can you, Li Ergouzi, have such ability without drinking medicinal wine?"
Zheng Wenhai left for work, and Li Zhizhang looked at Fei Jingting with a smile.
Fei Jingting brushed his teeth and could not speak, but raised his thumb. Li Zhizhang was immediately overjoyed. He felt that he was the best among men, and no one else in the whole courtyard!
"Brother Fei, I've got your car ready for you. If you look back, it's under the wall."
"Whoa~bah!" After rinsing his mouth, Fei Jingting said, "Okay, thanks."
"It's okay, which one of us will follow the other?"
Li Zhizhang clasped his hands behind his back, hummed a tune, shook his head and went to the front yard again, shouting in a rough voice: "Second uncle, why are you eating?"
The second uncle scolded: "Li Ergouzi, are you doing any harm, ah? I always sleep well, but you were so noisy that I couldn't sleep all night last night!"
"My fault, my fault, I will try to be quieter next time, hahaha..."
Li Zhizhang showed off everywhere to make his presence felt. After Fei Jingting washed up, he got dressed and prepared to go out for dinner.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I met Guan Xiyi who got off the rickshaw.
When he caught a glimpse of Fei Jingting, he immediately waved and greeted from a distance: "Jingting!"
Do you want to scream so affectionately?
"What are you..."
Guan Xiyi said eagerly: "I asked someone to find a house for you. If you are free now, can I take you to have a look?"
Fei Jingting felt that this girl was too interested in him, so he said, "Okay, then I'll push the bicycle."
"No, no need." Guan Xiyi flipped her hair and said sheepishly: "It's not far actually, let's just walk there."
It was fine that no one saw her sitting on the back seat of a bicycle at night. In broad daylight, Guan Xiyi was a little shy.
"That's fine. I haven't eaten yet, have you eaten?"
"I can eat some more with you."
They found a breakfast stall. Fei Jingting ordered eggs and fruit with old tofu, and Guan Xiyi only wanted a bowl of soy milk. A newsboy passed by, so Fei Jingting stopped the newsboy and gave him a copper plate to order a copy of the Tianjin Evening News.
There was a lot of news in the newspapers. An uprising broke out on the Korean Peninsula, the peace talks between the North and the South were interrupted again, and the eldest son personally caught the third concubine and raped him in bed...
Good guy, how did such a private matter get out?
Reading through the whole article, the text is full of unreliable words such as 'supposedly', 'speculation', 'informed people', 'rumor', etc. It has the charm of later generations of gossip tabloids. I think gossip news has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down to later generations.
Bar?
"What are you looking at? How can it be so successful?"
Fei Jingting gave the front page to Guan Xiyi, who looked at it and was first shocked and then angry.
"I only behaved frivolously when my third aunt was an actress, but I didn't expect her to be such a person!" After reprimanding, Guan Xiyi rolled her eyes and said: "So as the old saying goes, marrying a virtuous wife, that kind of frivolity,
It’s better to stay away from scheming women.”
Fei Jingting put down the newspaper, looked at Guan Xiyi and said with a smile: "Why am I listening...do you mean something?"
"I'm talking about that Ni Qiufeng. That woman is very scheming. Jingting, don't be fooled."
Ni Qiufeng is scheming. If she had not been scheming, she would have collapsed under the attack of a hard life and her unruly mother-in-law.
How can there be complete stupidity in this world? Fei Jingting doesn't mind if women are a little cautious, as long as they don't go too far.
Ni Qiufeng grasped it very well. She would use some subtle tricks to show that she was jealous, and she would silently pay for Fei Jingting. She also knew her own position very well and did not expect to have any status.
It's a pity that Fei Jingting hasn't completed his cultivation, otherwise he might have promised Ni Qiufeng.
As for the Guan Xiyi in front of her, she has a bad temper, is jealous, is strong-willed but has low self-esteem, and is a bit cute in her uprightness. Fei Jingting suddenly felt that this era is quite good, at least he can marry his concubine.
"Oh." The answer seemed a bit perfunctory.
"Oh, I'm telling you something serious. Can you stay away from her in the future?"
"Hehe, you actually look good with a straight face."
Guan Xiyi blushed instantly, held her cheek and looked around, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about..."
Fei Jingting flipped through a page of the newspaper and glanced at it, Huh? Has it been published?
There are two names in the author column: Shibi and Liangyong.
Fei Jingting smiled. This was another income. He just didn't know what price the newspaper gave him.
"why are you laughing?"
"nothing."
"I don't believe it." Guan Xiyi grabbed the newspaper, read it for a long time, and exclaimed: "Ah! Is your novel published?"
Fei Jingting nodded.
"You are so awesome! I looked back at the house. Come to my place to celebrate you?"
Fei Jingting said: "You won't open a store?"
"Shunzi, Sister-in-law Liu is here, don't delay."
Fei Jingting didn't agree, stood up and said, "Let's go and see the house first."
The two of them walked side by side, originally separated by half a meter of air, but as they walked closer and closer, their shoulders and arms gradually rubbed against each other from time to time.
Guan Xiyi was right, the house was really not far from the courtyard, only ten minutes' walk.
It was a small house with a small door and looked a bit old. It was a two-and-a-half-room tile-roofed house with a small yard and was very clean. The landlord showed the two of them around. Fei Jingting was quite satisfied and asked the price.
The rent is twelve yuan per month, which is not cheap, but Fei Jingting can afford it.
He asked again: "Is there water and electricity?"
The homeowner pointed to the cast-iron pressurized water shaft in the small yard: "There is a well for draft water. It freezes in winter. Just boil some hot water and pour it in. It will be used later. You have to buy lights from the power company yourself. One light per month
Eight dollars."
Eight dollars a month for a lamp?
After Fei Jingting inquired about it, he found out that electricity consumption these days was calculated based on the number of lights used. According to the homeowner, it was more expensive than this in previous years, and it cost fifteen yuan per month to install a light.
Moreover, the power company is only responsible for the installation. If the light breaks later, you have to pay for it yourself.
Eight dollars a month, converted to install a lamp, doesn't it cost 1,600 yuan a month? This is too dark!
Fei Jingting estimated that if every room was equipped with electric lights, wouldn't it cost 5,000 RMB per month? That would be outrageous!
Fei Jingting pondered and cursed, but Guan Xiyi mistakenly thought that he didn't have enough money.
She turned her back to block the landlord and whispered: "If the money is not enough, I will pay for you first."
"No, I just think the electricity price is a bit outrageous."
Guan Xiyi just thought that Fei Jingting wanted to save face and said adamantly, "I think this house is quite ordinary, why don't you go around again?"
"I think it's pretty good, let's just stay here."
Guan Xiyi saw Fei Jingting insisting, so she asked him to wait aside, and she started bargaining with the landlord. She was a veteran in the business world, but the landlord, who was originally very eloquent, couldn't continue after a few words and had to lower the price.
One dollar.
This time, Xiyi acted as a guarantee, so there was no need to pay a deposit. Fei Jingting signed a contract with the landlord and paid three months' rent, and the house was considered rented.
Seeing that it was still early, Guan Xiyi made plans to help Fei Jingting move now.
Fei Jingting said: "I want to go to the power company first and install the lights."
"Oh, then why don't I buy some food and come over to open fire in the evening? It can be considered as a celebration of the housewarming."
After the matter was settled, Guan Xiyi returned to Buzhuang, and Fei Jingting went to the electric power company. After paying the fee, the electric power company quickly arranged for an electrician to come and install it.
He pulled a wire from the telephone pole at the entrance of the alley and installed it in a short time. Fei Jingting played with the light rope with a playful expression. He had only seen this kind of rope when he was very young.
After locking the door, Fei Jingting returned to the courtyard to prepare for the move.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare. All the important things are in the carry-on space. The only things left in the courtyard are some clothes and quilts.
Just as he was about to clean up, Ni Qiufeng, who had not been seen all morning, trotted into the room.
"Brother Fei, here it is!" She excitedly held a stack of oceans in her hands and handed them to Fei Jingting.
"All sold?"
"Well, the lady in the bungalow on Front Street took care of the rest."
After taking the money, Fei Jingting glanced at it and gave Ni Qiufeng two more yuan.
"This is your commission."
"I don't want it." She put her hands behind her back and refused to take them.
"As promised, what's yours is yours, take it quickly."
"Then...okay." She took it and handed it over with a smile: "Here, this is your money."
"Heh." Fei Jingting was happy, but he had forgotten about this incident. He took it and said, "Okay, then we'll settle the matter."
"Well, everything is cleared!" Ni Qiufeng was extremely happy. "Can I get more pills this time?"
"It's up to you, you can take it all."
"Then I'll take them all." She glanced at the folded clothes on the bed and said, "Why did you remember to pack the clothes?"
"Oh, I rented another house and am planning to move."
The originally happy face suddenly changed color, and Ni Qiufeng asked: "You want to move away? Why?"
"This yard is a bit messy. I would like to live in a cleaner place."
Ni Qiufeng was very disappointed, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
Fei Jingting saw this and couldn't bear it, so he said: "But the house here will not be returned, it will be kept to make pills. By the way, when these pills are sold, you have to learn from me how to make pills."
Made pills."
Ni Qiufeng raised her head and her face looked a little better. She said: "I...I haven't done it before, is it okay?"
"It's very simple, you can definitely do it."
"I...I'll pack it for you." She crossed Fei Jingting and started folding the clothes.
At this time, I heard someone shouting outside the room: "Brother Fei, Brother Fei! Are you at home? I'm telling you, I'm not joking this time, I really encountered something evil!"
