"Huh? Where are you going?"
"There's something. I'll tell you when I'm done with it."
Liu Chunhua said this not to make excuses, but because she really had something to do. Not to mention the unclear progress on Old Li's side, she also had to go and take a look at Brother Wu's house search.
After packing her things, Liu Chunhua set off. When she left, she noticed that Zhao Tiezhu's door was closed. She didn't know whether he hadn't gotten up yet or had been away since early in the morning.
Liu Chunhua didn't care and walked along the road with Jiang Ruyi. They soon met fellow villagers who were going to the town and gave them a ride.
Upon arriving in the town, the first thing Liu Chunhua did was to take a look around the canteen. The big lock on the door was still hanging, and it seemed that Old Li was still negotiating with his former employer.
[Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problem.] Jiang Ruyi whispered to comfort her, and Liu Chunhua nodded.
She also felt that this was a sure thing, it just depended on the price.
The two turned around and prepared to leave, when suddenly a slender figure jumped out, "Hey, big sister, you are finally here."
The person who came was Xiao Liuzi, who was sitting with his hands in his pockets and looked unhappy.
"Why are you here? I was just about to look for you. Did you find anything about the house?"
"What are you talking about? How can you be like this? You paid the money and then didn't care about anything. The address you left is still not answered. I've been waiting for you here for days."
"I'm sorry, I had some family matters these days and couldn't take care of you." Liu Chunhua saw that he was suffering a lot. She glanced at the grocery store nearby and said, "How about this? I'll buy you a bottle of Dabaili."
"Really? That's great. My sister is so generous." Xiao Liuzi immediately became happy and ran to the grocery store happily.
Jiang Ruyi knew that this Da Baili was one of the best-selling soft drinks of this era. It was still in the early stages of being launched on the market and only a few people could afford it. Xiao Liuzi was just an errand boy, so it was no wonder that he was so happy.
But to her surprise, Liu Chunhua also bought her a bottle, poured some into the lid and asked her to taste it.
【Have you forgotten that I am still a little kid. 】
Jiang Ruyi's face showed rejection. In fact, she was also very curious about what the big white pear tasted like. However, in order not to be exposed, she just wanted to do things that only children do.
"It's okay to try it. Who says children can't drink soda?" Liu Chunhua smiled gently and brought the soda closer to her little mouth.
Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but took a sip. The sweet taste immediately exploded on her taste buds, and she almost couldn't maintain her expression as she hadn't had a carbonated drink for a long time!
This is so delicious!
"Sister, your daughter is so young, is it appropriate for you to give her this? Aren't you afraid it will be bad for her stomach?" Xiao Liuzi gulped down most of it, and when he saw the two of them, he asked.
Liu Chunhua shook her head nonchalantly, "How can she be so delicate? Think about it, when we were little, we couldn't even drink it if we wanted to. Now my daughter has it. If I don't let her try it since she was little, wouldn't she regret it as much as I do?"
"It seems there's nothing wrong with what you said." Xiao Liuzi touched his head and laughed.
Jiang Ruyi, who was still drinking water, couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.
In fact, many times, she admired Liu Chunhua's parenting skills. Liu Chunhua never set rigid rules on how things should be done, but instead respected everyone's preferences to the greatest extent.
This is much better than the devil parents in the 21st century.
After drinking the soda, Liu Chunhua paid the bill. Xiao Liuzi took the lead and said, "Sister, Brother Wu told you to go directly to see the house. The keys are all here. I'll take you there right away."
"Okay, thank you for your help then."
"Look at what you said, sister. I have already drunk the soda, so how can I say it's troublesome?" Xiao Liuzi is sweet-talking and knows how to handle things. Even though Liu Chunhua is just an ordinary employer, his attitude is surprisingly good.
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a small mud house. Xiao Liuzi stopped and said, "Sister, this is it."
【Ah, this.....】
Jiang Ruyi was somewhat disappointed. She was used to the smart systems and high-rise buildings of modern society. She really couldn't live in a house made of mud. It was difficult to maintain hygiene, and there were always various "small animals" on the roof. Until now, she could not forget how she was forced by a spider to learn to turn over....
"Is there no better one? One inside a brick house?" Liu Chunhua also felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to change to a better one.
Xiao Liuzi shook his head. "That's impossible. Nowadays, most ordinary people live in mud-brick houses. Those who can afford to build brick houses will not rent out their houses."
Liu Chunhua also knew this was true. Even she had worked hard all her life, but she still couldn't earn enough to buy a brick house.
"Sister, why don't we go in and take a look first? Although this house is made of earth, I have checked it. The foundation is very solid, and the walls and seams are tight. It is definitely a good house." Xiao Liuzi patted his chest and assured, and Liu Chunhua nodded.
Now that I'm here, I have to take a look.
The key was inserted into the lock and the lock was unlocked with a slight turn. Xiao Liuzi hung the lock directly on the door with a bang and guided them forward.
This is a proper three-story small earthen house. The main hall is at the entrance, and there is an empty room on each side that can be used as a sleeping place. The kitchen is at the back, and there is a smaller empty room next to the kitchen, which can be used to store sundries or put a small bed.
"How is it? This house is pretty good, right? I've already told you that you'll be satisfied if you just take a look at it." Xiao Liuzi boasted again. Liu Chunhua lowered her head and asked Jiang Ruyi, "Girl, what do you think?"
Jiang Ruyi thought about it and felt that there would be no problem living here, and there were enough rooms, so even if she invited her two adopted brothers to live here, they could still accommodate her.
【If there is no better choice, then this is it. 】
Liu Chunhua asked Xiao Liuzi, "Is there anything else I can see? Could it be this one?"
"Of course there are more, but I don't want my sister to come here in vain, so I will definitely show you the good ones first. If you want to see more, I will take you there right away."
"Let's go and have a look." Liu Chunhua also wanted to compare prices from three stores, but Xiao Liuzi was right, the latter few were indeed not as good as the first one. Some of them had either bad geographical locations or bad orientations, and people couldn't see the sunlight inside the house.
"Then let's go with the first one. How do we trade?"
Liu Chunhua and Jiang Ruyi discussed it and decided that since divorce was imminent, they had to find a place to stay as soon as possible. They should decide on this house first and then change to a brick house if they could.
