At twelve o'clock in the evening, the uncle's house was brightly lit.
Uncle Jiang Qitian was sitting on the sofa with a straight face and a strong accent.
"You agreed to live here with me? Why did you regret it? Do you dislike your uncle's house?"
"No way. My uncle's house is big and spacious, and my uncle speaks nicely. I can't wait to stay here every day."
"It's just that I usually like to live alone. If I didn't agree to live with you, my parents would definitely not let me come to the city to study!" Jiang Ning found a reason.
Uncle Jiang Qitian was very happy: "You kid, have you been playing tricks on me for a long time?"
"How dare I? I have to do it out of necessity."
After chatting with the uncle for a while, Jiang Ning finally explained clearly and the uncle had no objection.
Next to her, Shen Qing'e was holding her mobile phone and watching anime. She glanced at Jiang Ning from time to time. Since he came back, he hadn't said a word to her. She was so angry that she wouldn't speak if he didn't!
Cold War, who wouldn’t?
Cousin Jiang Junlong was lying on the dining table, eating a big meal. He went on a trip with his classmates and came back after playing for half a month. Now that he saw Jiang Ning coming to his home, he felt quite happy.
When he was a child, whenever he returned to town during holidays, Jiang Ning would take him to the fields to roast sweet potatoes, light a fire, and fish in small ditches. He was very happy.
At the same age as him, Jiang Ning could always think of fun things. At that time, in his mind, Jiang Ning could do anything. Later, as he grew older and broadened his horizons, the aura around Jiang Ning disappeared.
Already.
But Jiang Junlong still welcomes Jiang Ning's visit to Yuzhou City, and will have more fun in the future.
…
The next day, Jiang Ning woke up very early. When he got up, his aunt was preparing breakfast.
Seeing that breakfast would take a while to be ready, Jiang Ning said she was looking for a house and went out to leave.
He found a breakfast shop on the road, drank egg soup, and ate some big steamed buns.
Then I withdrew a thousand yuan in cash. Scanning QR codes to pay is not popular these days.
We walked all the way to the Huishui River Dam. It was less than seven o'clock at this time and the temperature had not risen. Many uncles and aunts were walking on the dam, which was very pleasant.
After finding yesterday's training place at the transformer box, Jiang Ning activated the 'Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique' and began to absorb current and temper his body.
When the sun turned fierce, Jiang Ning stopped practicing. Still standing under the sun with a temperature in the mid-30s, someone must have suspected that there was something wrong with his head.
Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock. Jiang Ning straightened her clothes and walked towards the bungalow.
Today he has to finish the house matter.
After getting off the dam and walking for a few minutes, we arrived in front of a row of bungalows.
One of the bungalows is a small shop, and the business is bleak. If you choose this place to open a shop, you can probably only make pocket money.
A few old men were sitting under the shade of a tree, holding teapots, playing cards and sipping tea.
When Jiang Ning, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, came over, the elders didn't pay much attention.
Jiang Ning went straight to the third room on the west side. He was not sure if anyone lived here. If anyone lived here, it would probably take a lot of effort.
At this time, a little girl came out next door, about 1.5 meters tall, like a primary school student, with messy hair, black shorts, a white T-shirt, and blue slippers on her feet.
Jiang Ning was startled when he saw the girl's face.
She is Xue Yuantong, the same class as herself, a beautiful, weird, and pitiful person.
Xue Yuantong sniffed and waved his little hand to the side:
"The seller is over there, you're going to the wrong place."
Jiang Ning said: "I'm not buying anything. I want to ask if anyone lives in this house? Thank you."
After Xue Yuantong heard this, her eyes immediately became suspicious. She stared at Jiang Ning:
"There are people living there. This family is very fierce. They have a big wolf dog who will bite whoever they want. Are you okay?"
"Oh, okay, I wanted to rent a house, but it's a pity." He shook his head.
"You want to rent a house?" Xue Yuantong's face froze.
"yes."
"This is my home." She said a little embarrassed.
Jiang Ning's mouth twitched: "Where's this one next door?"
"Both of them are my house. You want to rent a house, right? How long will it take? Why rent a house?"
"Let's start with one year. How much does it cost per month?"
Xue Yuantong had never rented a house before and was not sure about the price. She thought about it and shouted into the house:
"Mom, someone is coming to rent a house."
Soon, a woman about forty years old came out. Her clothes were clean, but it could be seen that they had been washed many times and were already a little white. Time had left traces on her face. She looked older than her eldest aunt.
Quite a few.
When Jiang Ning saw the person who could make the decision, he immediately said:
"Hello, auntie, I'm studying in No. 4 Middle School nearby and would like to rent your house."
Jiang Ning remembered that a few years later, the landlord was not the woman in front of her. She probably sold the house after Xue Yuantong died of illness.
After thinking about this, Jiang Ning looked at Xue Yuantong with hidden sympathy.
"You are also in the Fourth Middle School, and my daughter is also in the Fourth Middle School this year." The woman said with a smile.
Jiang Ning thought about it and said deliberately:
"Ah? Did she also go to No. 4 Middle School? I didn't realize it. She's so awesome."
Hearing this tone, Xue Yuantong curled her lips and felt so unhappy. She could get into the fourth middle school with just a snap of her fingers.
The woman said gently: "Tongtong just looks young, but she is actually fifteen years old this year."
"Mom, I'm here to rent a house, not to chat with you."
"Auntie, how much does your house cost per month?"
"You live alone, right?"
"right."
"Let me show you the house first."
Jiang Ning was led in. In front of her was a square living room, about five meters long and wide. Walk a few steps inside and pass through another door. There is a small open-air courtyard with cement on the ground. Opposite the small courtyard are three slightly smaller rooms.
The house, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen are arranged in order.
"Tap water and solar water heaters are available. Electricity and water meters are independent. You can move in at any time. If you rent, you only need to pay 200 yuan a month."
The woman is not as big as the lion. Although the house is okay, the location is remote. Strictly speaking, it is a suburb. It is actually quite inconvenient whether it is work or school. The house is empty and it is empty. It is better to rent it out cheaply to support the family.
Of course, it was also because Jiang Ning was fair and fair, and a student of No. 4 Middle School did not look like a bad person. If a young man from society came to ask about a house, she would definitely not agree.
"Okay." Jiang Ning settled on the price. The price was similar to what he expected, so he didn't bargain.
The two made a verbal agreement, Jiang Ning gave her 800 yuan, deposited one to pay three, and then got a key.
Then, Jiang Ning went to the city to purchase daily necessities, and then went to her uncle's house to pick up her suitcase.
The aunt didn't expect Jiang Ning to find the house so quickly, and was very surprised. When her cousin-in-law saw it, she drove to help Jiang Ning, and Jiang Junlong followed without incident.
With more people and greater strength, Jiang Ning quickly purchased all the things he needed for life, such as mats, quilts, lamps, basins, and some daily necessities.
The aunt also gave Jiang Ning the leftover induction cooker from the hotel's last purchase. After sorting it out, the rental house became a bit more lively.
Xue Yuantong sat on the small bench in front of the door, holding half a watermelon that was bigger than her head, using a spoon to scoop out the fragrance. From beginning to end, she witnessed the busy work of Jiang Ning and others.
Her eyes moved: "Jiang Ning's relatives have cars at home. Judging from their clothes, they seem to be quite wealthy. Why do they come here to rent a house?"
"Is there another hidden secret?"
"Forget it, forget about it. It doesn't bother me anyway. It's the best thing if it can bring more income to the family and save my mother some effort."
Jiang Junlong watched his mother and sister-in-law tidy up Jiang Ning's room, with envy flashing in his eyes. He also wanted to have such a small world, but it was a pity that he couldn't. If his mother knew about it, she would definitely strangle him to death.
He had not done housework since he was a child and could not help, so he simply stood at the door, sighing inwardly, lamenting that he had no freedom.
I turned around and saw Xue Yuantong eating a big watermelon. I thought this little girl was really pretty and cute.
He shouted: "Hey, kid, brother, let me treat you to some chocolate!"
As he said this, he took out a beautifully packaged chocolate from his pocket. This was a nut chocolate that he bought specially when traveling. It cost fifteen yuan a piece, and he was reluctant to eat it himself.
When Xue Yuantong heard this, he immediately stared at him.
Seeing the fierce look on the little girl's face, Jiang Junlong angrily took back the chocolate and muttered in his heart:
