Chapter 663
Two days later, I went back to school to get the results of my last final exam, and that was when summer vacation officially started.
Through Ye Jiayin's introduction, Su Miao has contacted a very professional "decoration team". They are currently working on a small project, which will be completed in about a month.
Calculating the time, Mr. Qin and his family should have gone abroad by then, which would be a good time to start the renovation.
Moreover, more than a month later, the summer vacation was almost over, and Su Miao and his father were about to return to Beijing. Everything was just right!
It only took Mr. Guo and his family three days to clear out the yard on the Shichahai side, and they took great pains to clean it thoroughly inside and out.
Su Yuanzheng didn't know if there was a master in the capital, so he looked up the almanac and set a time for moving, which was two days before they were to leave the capital.
Before moving in, Su Miao also carried out a comprehensive disinfection of the yard. When Tang Ziyi and Ye Jiayin came to help her spray disinfectant, they smiled when they saw her equipment.
"Miao Miao, your equipment from head to toe is so complete. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are going to fight some kind of germ warfare." Ye Jiayin looked at the protective suit with interest.
"Sister Jiayin, this outfit of mine wasn't easy to put together. I went to several hospitals to buy it all, and some of them weren't willing to sell it. The disinfectant we sprayed should be somewhat corrosive, so it's better to be careful and avoid direct contact if possible."
"Alright, alright, both of you, stop it. Let me, a rough guy, do it. Go! Take this watermelon and squat at the gate to eat it. When I'm done, I'll take you guys out for some delicious food!"
Tang Ziyi stuffed the watermelon in his hand into Ye Jiayin's hand, took the disinfection tools and started to drive people away.
"Ah? This... How can I let you do it alone?" Su Miao said this, and put the water tank on Tang Ziyi's back without any hesitation.
After seeing him dressed, Ye Jiayin took Su Miao's hand and said:
"Just let him perform, Comrade Xiao Tang. This important and difficult task is now entrusted to you!"
Tang Ziyi stepped on his heels and answered loudly, "I will definitely fulfill my mission and complete it!"
Ye Jiayin pulled Su Miao to sit on the stone steps in front of the door, cut the watermelon with a knife, and handed a piece of watermelon to Su Miao:
"Try it. Master Tang picked it himself. It's so sweet."
The watermelon juice flows down my fingers, and the sweet fragrance of summer spreads between my lips and teeth.
The sound of Tang Ziyi humming a song came from afar, mixed with the chirping of cicadas to form a summer symphony.
Su Miao looked at the mist sparkling in the sun, her heart full of anticipation for her new home.
After two days of disinfection, it was time to move.
"Su Ji" is closed for one day today, and all employees came to help with the moving and have a drink.
The Su family had lived in the hutong for a year and had a very good relationship with their neighbors. Everyone came to help and see them off.
Su Miao also distributed ginger candies to everyone, thanking everyone for their care over the past year:
"Auntie, uncle, although we have moved, the shop is still in the same place. You are all welcome to continue to come to the shop for dinner. We can still meet often."
Grandpa Li chewed some ginger candy and said with a smile, "That's great! You should come to the store more often."
The small courtyard here was rented for a year, and it still had more than half a month left to expire.
The landlord felt very sorry when he knew that they would not renew the lease, mainly because renting to them really saved him a lot of trouble.
The rent, utilities and other bills have never been in arrears, and the yard is kept tidy and clean.
This courtyard has had many tenants, but the Su family is the most particular.
But having said that, the new yard is good in every way, the only drawback is that it is a little far from the shop.
The rented yard can be reached by bike in just a few minutes, but it would take several times longer to get to the new house.
Therefore, Meng Sui and Su Yuanzheng discussed that they should live in the small courtyard for the next half month and then move to the new courtyard when the lease expires.
Since it was Meng Sui who proposed it, Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng naturally had no objection, and his room had already been arranged in the new house.
For this employee who followed them from Yongcheng to Beijing to work hard, the Su father and daughter gave him the greatest degree of autonomy and management rights.
Meng Sui had previously suggested that they clear out a small room in the shop yard for him to live in, just enough for him to sleep.
This was something Su Miao and Su Yuan absolutely could not agree to. The yard was so small and was piled with all kinds of things. If he was really allowed to live there, wouldn't he be treated like a farmhand?
In order to persuade him to live in a good house, Su Miao smiled and pulled him to the door of the shop, pointed to the shops opposite and next door, and said:
"Brother Sui, let's not always think about compressing our own living space to make contributions. Expand your thinking. What if there is another suitable store here that we can buy like we did in Nancheng? Wouldn't the store space be doubled?
By then, we'll be able to earn more and hire more employees. If we can have a second floor like the one next door, can't we keep the second floor as staff rooms? "
Meng Sui followed Su Miao's gaze and looked at the shop next door. It was a blacksmith shop whose business was getting increasingly deserted. The owner was dozing off at the door.
Suddenly, I realized, ah! The young boss is calling him!
"Miao! Leave this matter to me to find out. I'll tell you when I find out the details. Should we rent or buy?"
Meng Sui was ready to go and had already started thinking about how to get close to the owner of the iron pot shop.
"It depends on their asking price. If the price is right, buying is definitely better than renting. After all, we originally bought this one. Under normal circumstances, the store will not relocate, but will only expand.
We're just worried they'll think we're doing well and ask for a high price. "You should find out more before you make a decision," Su Miao said.
She made a "hush" gesture, signaling him to keep quiet.
After things in the capital were settled, Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng were about to leave.
The luggage this time was very simple, just a backpack and a suitcase for each father and daughter.
However, their destination this time was not Nanning, but they had to go to Shenzhen to sell the stocks first.
In this hot weather, they will not go on a road trip like before.
"Miao Miao, are we going back by train?"
"Dad, taking the train is so tiring, and it takes several days. Didn't you say before that you wanted to experience flying? Then let's go by plane."
"Really? There are flights from Beijing to Shenzhen?"
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "It seems... not yet. I heard that the terminal building of Shenzhen Airport has just started construction, and it will not be open to flights until next year at the earliest."
"What a shame, we can't get on then."
Su Miao suddenly had an idea: "It's okay, Dad. We can take a plane to Guangzhou first, and then transfer to Shenzhen. Although it's not a direct route, it will save a few days than taking the train directly."
