There is also a door on the north side leading to the back. After entering, there is a square patio with a round pool in the center. In the pool there is a small and exquisite rockery. Water flows down from the rockery and sinks into the pool water, circulating over and over again.
This is obviously a source of running water, but no one knows where it leads to.
There are several koi carps swimming leisurely in the pond.
There are two side rooms on the east side, the main house on the north side, and a corridor on the west side, which leads directly to the main house. Under the stone steps of the corridor, there are several pots of flowers, such as daffodils, winter jasmine, and peonies, full of spring.
Next to the main house, there is an ear room, and next to the ear room there is a separate toilet.
If we talk about what Shen Yizi regrets most about coming here, it’s not that he can’t eat meat, but that there is no private toilet.
Every time I need to go to the toilet, I have to run to a place far away from home. As for the environment of the toilet... I'd rather not talk about it.
This yard was beyond Shen Yizhi's imagination. It couldn't be better! Su Chaiyu said, "This is an unused yard of my friend. You might as well live here. It can also add a little popularity to the house, so that it won't be covered with grass and dust. As for the rent, five hundred coins a month, what do you think?"
Friend? Actually, it was him.
Such a good location, such a fine courtyard, the monthly rent is only 500 coins, this is definitely a loss! Seeing that no one was talking, Su Chaiyu thought the rent was too expensive, and considered: "If you think it's too expensive, I can discuss it with my friend..."
Shen Yizhi chuckled, "Uncle Su, we have money, don't worry that we can't pay the rent."
Shen Xing puffed out his chest, "That's right."
Shen coughed twice, and Su Chaiyu hurriedly said, "Look at me, I was so busy dragging you to see the house that I forgot that you were injured. I'll show you first, and we can talk about other things later. There's no rush."
He had just taken the pulse hastily before, but now he had to take a closer look, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
Su Chaiyu took the pulse of Shen Xing and Shen Yizhi again and wrote a prescription. "Go out of the alley and walk a few steps to the east. There is a clinic. You can get the medicine there."
They had just arrived at the new place and had not bought any rice, flour, or other food yet, and Shen did not invite Su Chaiyu to have dinner.
When Su Chaiyu said goodbye, he said to Shen Xing: "Xiaoxing, please help me see your uncle Su off."
Shen Yizhi had been kicked by Boss Qian before, and it was excruciatingly painful at the time, but Boss Qian was still thinking about selling her for money, so he held back. Now that the pain had passed, she became lively again.
She happily ran into the house, looked here and touched there, just like a real four-year-old girl.
There was no way, this house was so in line with her aesthetic that she was really excited.
Seeing her cheerful look, Shen couldn't help but smile.
But there was a hidden worry in my heart.
She had been avoiding it before, and although the risk was smaller, it really wronged the two children, and it was not as safe as she thought.
Today, Xiaoxing and Zhizhi were almost killed.
Although this increases the risk of exposure, as long as you are careful, nothing should go wrong.
After all, so many years have passed.
After looking around, Shen Yizhi quickly assigned several rooms. "Mom, you live in the main house, Xiao Xingxing lives in the room in the east wing near the outer courtyard, and I live in the room next to the main house, okay?"
"Okay." Shen's eyes were soft.
When Shen Xing came back, he was carrying a lot of things in his hands, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, rice and noodles. Fortunately, he was strong, otherwise how could he carry them? When Shen saw this, she frowned slightly: "Xiao Xing, where did these come from?"
"Uncle Su gave it to me. He said that our two families will be neighbors from now on, and neighbors should help each other and have good relations."
Sure enough, Shen had expected this to happen.
But the neighbors——
"Your Uncle Su lives here too?"
"Yes, Uncle Su lives across from us. He's the first house at the entrance of the alley. There's a ginkgo tree in the yard."
Shen Yizi thought to herself that this Uncle Su definitely liked her mother. In order to help them, he even rented his own house to them at a low price in the name of a friend and even settled down opposite them.
It's really sincere.
Of course, as a child, she has no right to interfere in the relationship between adults. Although she is happy to see it happen, she will not intervene rashly or make her own decisions. Everything depends on Shen's wishes.
She just needs to regard Su Chaiyu as the benefactor of their family.
Just repay the favor, there is nothing to be entangled about.
Shen looked at the pile of things and sighed, "Forget it, just take it into the kitchen."
After coming out, Shen Xing picked up the bucket and went to fetch water.
Shen said, "Xiaoxing, don't be in a hurry. You were injured before. Go get some medicine first. It will be bad if you develop a chronic disease."
Just as he was speaking, there was a knock on the gate.
They just moved in, who would come now? The courtyard door opened, and Su Chaiyu stood outside with a food box.
Sure enough, there was no one else except him.
"You just moved in, so it's not convenient to cook. I brought some cooked food. As for the medicine, I'm already boiling it. It will take a while. Let's eat first, and you can drink it after dinner."
Wow, that's really thoughtful.
Shen Yizhi sighed in his heart.
In fact, there is nothing missing here. The kitchen is piled high with firewood, so we can make a fire and cook at any time.
As Su Chaiyu spoke, he took out the food from the lunch box and placed it on the eight-immortals table.
Crystal pork elbow, steamed pork with rice flour, tofu and mushroom soup, stir-fried pea sprouts, plus a portion of braised pork, the staple food is white rice, and there is a plate of radish cake.
The crystal pork elbow is clean and hairless, and the jelly is crystal clear. It looks so tender that it seems like it will melt in your mouth with a light suck.
Each piece of braised meat has a rich sauce and looks bright red like agate. The aroma is direct and overbearing, drilling straight into the nose.
The radish cake is also garnished with diced dried shrimp, bacon and sausage, making it a very rich dish.
This table of food is really rich.
Shen Yizhi and Shen Xing were drooling at the sight.
Even Shen couldn't help but feel dazed. These dishes were nothing to her before, but now, she hadn't tasted them for a long time.
Su Chaiyu smiled and said, "Don't just stare, Xiaoxing, go to the kitchen and get the dishes and chopsticks."
Shen Xing ran into the kitchen without hesitation, quickly took the dishes and chopsticks, washed them and put them on the table.
Su Chaiyu served a bowl of rice to himself and the three members of the Shen family, and put a piece of steamed pork with rice flour into Shen Yizhi's bowl. "This kind of meat is not sticky at all, it's soft and chewy, Zhizhi will definitely like it."
As soon as Shen Yizhi tasted it, his taste buds were instantly conquered.
