When it was time to get off work, Hao Jianhong still didn't come back.
Li Siyu remembered that he was going to rent a house today, so he packed up and ran out.
When I arrived at the gate, I saw Wang Ye standing there.
"Brother Wang." Li Siyu smiled and greeted him.
Wang Ye nodded and said to her: "The old lady moved out this morning. After you sign the contract, I will send it to her."
"Are you leaving in such a hurry?" Li Siyu was a little surprised, wondering why it would take two days to move.
Wang Ye then smiled and said: "Her son came to pick her up this morning. She had long wanted the old lady to go with them, but the old lady couldn't worry about the house. If she didn't rent it out, she would be picked up by her son. This is a blessing.
.”
Li Siyu nodded, thinking that when he bought a house in the city, he would bring his wife over to enjoy the happiness.
Wang Ye sent Li Siyu to the rental house, and the two of them looked at the house.
Except for the upper room which was locked, the side room was not locked and contained the living room and bedroom.
The living room only has a square table, a few wooden stools, and the floor is paved with smooth blue bricks.
There is a two-meter bed in the bedroom, placed by the window, with a mat spread on it. It can be seen that it is very old, but it is very clean.
The room was also clean. There was a wooden cabinet next to the bed, and there was nothing in it.
Li Siyu was very satisfied. Although it was rented, he had a place to stay!
"Sister, come and stay at my place tonight. There is nothing here, how can you live there." Wang Ye looked at the empty house and remembered that Li Siyu was carrying a small schoolbag when he came. How could he sleep without a quilt.
He wanted to get a set of quilts, but their family didn't even have a quilt. There was one quilt for each person and one quilt for the child. There was no room at all.
Li Siyu stayed at Wang Ye's house last night. She knew that it was not easy for everyone, so she refused directly.
"Brother Wang, I'm not being polite to you. I've already mailed the things to my house. I don't need anything. I'll stay here."
"So you've already made a plan, so let me help you get the things." Wang Ye heard that she was ready, so he didn't force her and planned to help get the things back.
"No, I've asked someone else to pick it up for me. I have a classmate here who will deliver it later." Li Siyu quickly stopped him.
How could she ask her family to mail something? If she took someone to the post office and couldn't see anything, how could she explain it? This wouldn't work.
Seeing her being so excited, Wang Ye thought she was afraid of trouble him, "Sister, don't go out with me. Who is following whom?"
Li Siyu knew that he had misunderstood her, and said helplessly: "Brother Wang, why should I be polite to you? You and my brother-in-law are both good friends, how could I be polite to you.
The key is that I have asked my classmates to pick up the things and I think they will be delivered soon. Why don't you go back first? It's getting late."
When Wang Ye saw what she said, he knew that she didn't mean it and stopped insisting. The family was still waiting for him.
"Then go to my place to eat tonight. The food is ready at home."
Li Siyu shook his head, "My classmates and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I asked someone for help today but I still have to treat them to a meal, so I won't go today."
Wang Ye could tell that she was not pretending to be polite, thinking that the food tank at home was about to bottom out, so he said with a smile: "Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."
Suddenly Li Siyu thought of something and stopped Wang Ye who was about to leave, "Hey! Brother Wang, wait a minute."
Wang Ye turned around and looked at her doubtfully, "What's wrong? Sister."
"I see that the stove needs coal, and I don't know where to buy it, you know?" It's still early spring, so it's okay to cook without a fire, but it's cold in the house, so you have to build a brazier.
When Wang Ye heard what she said, he frowned slightly and said, "Sister, if you don't have a household here, they won't sell you coal. At this time, you have to buy coal with your household registration book, and there is a limit."
"Ah?" Li Siyu was stunned. Then she couldn't freeze to death?
"Our mine has ten kilograms of subsidized coal every month, but it is only given to regular workers. You are also a temporary worker, and there is no subsidy at all." Wang Ye also thought of this. You always have to eat and keep warm, right? How can you support this?
It won't get warmer until mid-April.
"Why don't you go to my house first?" Seeing her sad face, Wang Ye still thought it would be better to go to his house and think about food later.
Li Siyu waved her hand and refused: "Brother Wang, help me ask if anyone sells coal. My quilt is thick, so I should be fine."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Wang Ye didn't hide it, "Now everyone is in need. I can help you inquire, but don't have too much hope."
It's better to have hope than nothing. Li Siyu nodded and thanked her.
Before leaving, Wang Ye repeatedly asked her if she wanted to go to his house. Li Siyu refused simply and neatly, and left without any further pressure.
Li Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. This man was finally gone. If he didn't leave, it would be dark.
Before leaving, Wang Ye asked Li Siyu to sign the contract and received the money. One of the contracts was given to Li Siyu and the other was to be mailed to the landlord.
After sending the people away, Li Siyu fastened the door and put a piece of wood behind the door.
Being away from home and unfamiliar with the place, Li Siyu felt that it was still necessary to do this. After all, it was still a famine year, not everyone was rich, and there were still a lot of thieves.
After closing the door, Li Siyu returned to the house and chose a black mattress from the warehouse, which was relatively hard or thin.
The mattress is a bit short when placed on the bed, but it is the largest one. The bed is big anyway, so it doesn't matter if it is shorter.
I chose another set of quilts, and the outer cover was a dark blue quilt cover. This was from the warehouse. The solid color was old-fashioned and would not be sold at all.
But this kind of old-fashioned thing is most suitable for her to use now. It is not eye-catching and practical.
And the fabric is thick and can block a lot of cold air.
I chose a buckwheat shell pillow and put it on a pillowcase of the same color, and my place was completely settled.
It was getting very late, so Li Siyu didn't cook, so he took out some bread and snacks, and only took one bite of them.
There is a kitchen outside, but there are no pots and kitchen utensils, so you can't cook.
She had just seen the stove. It could burn coal or wood.
She doesn't have either of these things, so she still can't cook. She can only deal with it this way for now and wait for news from Wang Ye in a few days.
Li Siyu slept very cold at night, and he covered himself with two layers of quilts. This was much better, but this was not possible.
If she continues to live like this, she will definitely suffer from rheumatism and bone cold.
If there is no coal, just plug in the electricity. There is no socket in the house, but there is a light.
She doesn't know how to connect the electricity, so she can only ask Wang Ye again. When the electricity is connected, she can also use the electric mattress. At least she won't have to sleep in a cold quilt.
