Chapter 41 Visiting the New Home
Lin Siqiao's legs and feet were already very sore after running outside all day. Now, when he saw the shiny key bunch in Grandma Lu's hand, he would be lying if he said he wasn't moved.
She didn't expect that her unintentional action would bring her so much good luck.
While feeling thankful, Lin Siqiao also felt a little guilty. After all, she had been struggling for a long time over whether or not to save the person.
"Grandma Lu, I rented the house shamelessly."
"But I still want to return this bracelet to its original owner, otherwise I will feel uneasy living here."
Lin Siqiao took out the full green jade bracelet from the inner layer of her bag.
As the old saying goes, a person takes care of jade for three years, and jade takes care of a person for a lifetime. The quality of this bracelet is very good, and you can tell at a glance that it has been worn for many years.
Given Lin Siqiao's current age and the current environment, she cannot wear this bracelet outside and can only leave it in the space to collect dust.
What a waste!
But Grandma Lu refused to agree no matter what.
"The bracelet is given to you, so it's yours."
"It's not worth much."
When Lu Yunshu saw that his grandmother was lying with her eyes open, he quickly drank a sip of hot water to calm down.
What do you mean worthless? If she remembered correctly, that bracelet was her grandmother's dowry and it was very expensive!
But compared to saving my life, this is nothing.
Lu Yunshu stuffed the bracelet directly back into Lin Siqiao's bag.
"Si Qiao, this is a token of my grandmother's love, just accept it."
"I can't refuse a gift from an elder!"
After saying that, he glanced at the time on his wrist.
"Grandma, it's still early, how about I take Siqiao to the house first?"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Grandma Lu smiled and nodded, "It's just right to see what's missing in the house. Now that school hasn't started yet, I'll buy everything I need."
Lu Yunshu received the order and quickly pulled Lin Siqiao out of the guesthouse.
"Wouldn't it be bad if we just left like this and left Grandma Lu alone in the guesthouse?"
And the rent issue hasn’t been discussed yet!
Lin Siqiao wanted to turn back, but Lu Yunshu refused and took her arm and led her eastward.
"Don't worry, the guards are following you."
Originally, Grandma Lu's foot injury had not yet fully healed, and her family did not agree to let her go out.
But Grandma Lu was very stubborn and insisted on coming over to take a look in person.
Mr. Lu couldn't do anything with her, so he could only ask the guards to drive with them.
On the way, Lu Yunshu briefly introduced the situation of the house.
"The house is on Changle Road. It takes at least half an hour to walk to the school."
"I think you should buy a bicycle, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go to and from school."
"Well, I should buy one."
During the two days in Shanghai, Lin Siqiao also learned a lot of information at the front desk of the guesthouse.
The black market environment in Shanghai is obviously more relaxed than in other cities. After all, there are so many people here, and it is impossible to rely on that little supply.
However, no matter how loose the economy is, Lin Siqiao will not resell supplies. At most, she will buy a few industrial coupons or get a bicycle ticket.
"By the way, Siqiao, can you ride a bicycle?"
“…”
This question stumped Lin Siqiao, as neither she nor the original owner seemed to know how to ride a bicycle.
The original owner didn't have one at home, and Lin Siqiao's family had only four-wheeled vehicles since she was a child, so how could she make one?
"I won't."
"It's okay, let's learn together." Lu Yunshu didn't know how to ride either, so the two of them could ride together when the time comes.
"You want to go to school as a day student too?"
"yes."
Lu Yunshu told the news he had heard.
"The drama academy is relatively small, and the entire dormitory building is co-ed. One room is less than 20 square meters, and eight people live in it!"
"Eight people?"
Lin Siqiao was surprised. "If it's less than 20 square meters, then minus the bunk beds and the students' luggage, wouldn't it be difficult to turn around in the dormitory?"
"yes."
Lu Yunshu nodded frantically. After all, the city government compound was not far from here. When she learned how to ride a bike, she would go to and from school with Siqiao.
As they were talking, the two of them unknowingly walked to the middle section of Changle Road.
"That's it."
“…”
Lin Siqiao was stunned when he saw the small second floor of the green brick and red tile building in front of him!
She had always thought that what the Lu family rented to her was something like a family compound or an ordinary residential building.
"What are you standing there for? Open the door."
Lin Siqiao quickly took out the key and opened the gate. At a glance, the yard was full of lush green bamboos. There were also several towering camphor trees in the southeast corner of the yard.
The yard alone is more than 200 square meters.
Following the cobblestone path, Lin Siqiao went directly into the living room on the first floor.
The overall decoration style of the house is Western, and the furniture inside is well preserved.
The Lu family would come over from time to time to ventilate the house and clean it up, so the whole house was clean and tidy, without any odor.
On the left side of the living room are the kitchen and dining room, and on the right side are two rooms. The one facing the yard is the study, and further inside is the bedroom.
The bathroom was at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor. Lin Siqiao walked and looked, and went up to the second floor along the right-angle stairs.
The second floor appears to have only two rooms, but they are actually two suites, each with its own study and bathroom. The room on the south side also has a large open-air balcony.
Lin Siqiao couldn't even imagine how pleasant it would be to put a lounge chair here and enjoy the breeze and the moon at night.
"How is it, are you satisfied?"
“I couldn’t be more satisfied!”
Come on, this is a garden house! Even in later times, if you want to live in a house like this in Shanghai where every inch of land is valuable, you need to have at least several small goals.
What's more, what time is it now!
In this murky era, being able to live in a house like this shows that the Lu family's background is truly extraordinary.
The next morning, Lin Siqiao called her second uncle's workplace. Qiao Zhiyi on the other end of the phone was so excited that he almost cried when he heard that his niece had been admitted to the drama academy in Shanghai.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask your grandmother to pack your luggage and send it to you later."
"Xiao Qiao, you must be careful when living outside alone."
"Don't be reluctant to spend money when you go out. Do you have enough money on you?"
"Enough, enough!"
Lin Siqiao squeaked quickly. She would live alone from now on, and she could take whatever she wanted to eat from the things stored in the space.
The house has great privacy and is surrounded by small villas with their own doors and courtyards. She doesn't have to worry about being envied by her neighbors when she eats something delicious.
She can save a lot of money on food and accommodation alone.
Qiao Zhiyi just listened to this and brought the news back to the village that afternoon.
Old Mrs. Qiao was so happy that she packed up all the things Lin Siqiao wanted overnight.
During the time of waiting for news, Old Mrs. Qiao was not idle. She went from house to house to exchange some cotton and made a new quilt weighing eight kilograms for Lin Siqiao.
Along with the new quilt was mailed a money order for two hundred dollars.
