"It depends on Tian Lili herself. Her child has been sick recently and it's been quite stressful for her." Lin Meiyu said with a sigh.
A few days ago, Tian Liangsheng was playing outside and caught a cold. When he got home, he had a slight fever.
It is normal for children to get sick, and no one took it seriously, thinking they would be well in a couple of days. But unexpectedly, the fever lasted for a week, and later they developed chickenpox.
This made Tian Lili and the others very anxious. Chickenpox is a very annoying disease. She has a high fever all day long and has pimples on her body. The itchiness made Tian Liangsheng unable to sleep. She couldn't sleep well and kept crying because of the itchiness.
Tian Lili has developed feelings for Tian Liangsheng these days. They are biological mother and son, so it is easy for the two to become close. Now that Tian Liangsheng is sick, Tian Lili is very worried and takes him to see a doctor and buys him all kinds of delicious food.
Tian Liangsheng didn't want to eat, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of cakes and biscuits, and especially bought a can of malted milk, in order to coax Tian Liangsheng into eating something. Only then did she feel relieved.
Tian Liangsheng's health had just improved a little in the past few days, so Tian Lili didn't dare to leave him for too long. It just so happened that Shen Lingling didn't go out to buy things during this period. Tian Lili stayed at home to take care of the children.
"Lili is a child who can endure hardships. She may not feel tired when going out. Besides, why wouldn't you be tired doing anything? We work hard all year round but we don't earn as much as they do." said Old Mrs. Tian.
She felt that it was good enough for Shen Lingling and Tian Lili to start their own business now. She was just old, otherwise she would have to sell something.
Tian Tian and Shen Lingling thought that they might not be able to open the stall until after the Chinese New Year, but they didn't expect that both Fang Siwen and Aunt Xiao would act quickly. On the third day after Shen Lingling and her friends went to the county town, Aunt Xiao sent someone to tell them that they had found several houses and asked Shen Lingling to go and see which one was suitable.
When Shen Lingling heard this, she immediately came to find Tian Tian, and the two of them went to the county town again.
They went to find Aunt Xiao, who took them to see a house.
Aunt Xiao found three houses according to the requirements of the people. The three locations were different. One house was on the outskirts of the county town. It was closer to the countryside and might be closer to Tian Tian and her friends going into the city.
The second house is near the cinema. The house belongs to the steel plant and all the people living around it are employees of the steel plant.
The other house is a little further away from both of them. If you look at it in a straight line, the house of the steel plant is in the middle. The outer house is in the west, closer to the county brigade. Then the last house is in the east, also at the other end of the county town, and is the farthest house from them.
After Shen Lingling knew about this, she mentally passed up this house, but she didn't show it and still asked Aunt Xiao to take her to see the house.
The houses that Aunt Xiao found are all very good. They all have their own doors and windows.
Moreover, they can be cleaned up and moved in directly, so Shen Lingling doesn't have to worry about renovations.
After visiting these three houses, I found that each of them has its own advantages.
For example, the house on the west side has a bigger yard with two rooms. One is for cooking and the other is for living. The area of the house is not small. It is quite spacious. There is also a well in the middle of the yard, which is very convenient for daily use.
Although the house at the steel plant also has its own door and yard, it is relatively small and surrounded by neighbors. They may not be able to hide anything I do. I need to go to a unified place on the street to get water, and it is not very convenient to go to the toilet. I need to go to a public toilet.
But the location is very good. Not far from the school, there are kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and high schools attached to the steel plant.
Walking outside, there is a park and a cinema.
These three places are places where things are sold very well. Moreover, it takes no more than ten minutes to walk from this house to any of these three places, and the boiled chestnuts are still hot when you get there.
The other house on the east side was the farthest from them. It was not small in size, and there was a well in the yard for drinking water. There were no crowds around, but the rent for this house was the cheapest, only 2 yuan a month.
The houses near the steel mill are the most expensive, costing five dollars a month. The main reason is that most of the people who rent houses are employees of the steel mill. They have money and wages, so they are not short of money.
The house that was closer to them rented for three dollars a month.
Shen Lingling hesitated for a while, and finally rented the house for three yuan. Although the steel plant's house was in a good location, they needed a lot of water to cook chestnuts, and it was not very convenient to go outside to get water.
And they were planning to take a stove and a pot to set up a stall in front of the cinema to cook chestnuts and sell them on the spot. So the distance was not particularly important.
After deciding to rent the house, they immediately went to the street office to find the landlord to get a registration certificate, indicating that Shen Lingling had already rented the house.
Aunt Xiao was also surprised to see that Lingling made the decision on her own and did not even ask her family about it.
She didn't expect Shen Lingling to be so decisive and rented the house in one day. She thought Shen Lingling would have to go home and think about it for a few days.
Shen Lingling carefully placed the signed contract in her arms and planned to invite Aunt Xiao to dinner.
She and Aunt Xiao were not related at all, and they only knew each other because of Tian Tian. Aunt Xiao also helped them so much by finding such a nice house. Shen Lingling could not let Aunt Xiao's efforts go in vain.
Aunt Xiao originally wanted to refuse because finding this house was not a difficult task for her.
If you meet a familiar customer at work, you can just ask him. It is not worth Shen Lingling's thanks at all.
Moreover, she treated Tian Tian as her own junior. She had eaten delicious food at Tian Tian's house many times over the years. She felt a little guilty and thought she would help if she could.
But unexpectedly, Shen Lingling insisted on treating her to a meal, and said that if she didn't eat, Shen Lingling would not dare to contact her again.
Tian Tian was also trying to persuade Aunt Xiao, and finally Aunt Xiao had no choice but to go out for a meal with Tian Tian and Shen Lingling.
Although the two of them said last time that they would eat less when they came to the county town, Aunt Xiao was still an outsider to Shen Ling, and she had helped them so much, so Shen Lingling couldn't order too few dishes, as that would seem a bit shabby.
