Chapter 334 Want to sell the house?
"Why go out? You don't know anyone here. Wouldn't it be nice to be at home?"
Gao Xiulan wiped her hands. No matter how good the outside world was, it was not her home.
Diao Yulian plucked a grape and muttered:
"I was just saying it casually. Besides, I can't understand bird language, so I'm just blind outside."
Everyone laughed.
Wu Shengli walked into the yard with quick steps, humming a song.
Seeing so many people gathered in the backyard, Diao Yulian shrank his neck and became a quiet man in an instant.
Lin Xiaotong was standing under the eaves and happened to see this scene of face changing.
When the man opened his mouth, his tone was still teasing.
"Hey, everyone's here? Are you having a meeting in the yard?"
Wearing bell-bottom pants, touching his beer belly, and looking at the grape vines growing better and better in Old Xie's family, his palms felt itchy.
Diao Yulian glared at him and said, "Yes, hold a struggle session for you."
Wu Shengli choked and immediately went into the west room with his tail between his legs.
"Let's go back to the house and sleep."
Jin Qiaofeng stood with her hands behind her back, and Guoqing followed happily with an empty bowl in his hand.
Lin Xiaotong washed her hands directly in the sink. The water was boiling hot. She wrung out the towel and wiped the sweat off Chengzi's face.
Xie Yi didn't care and just let the remaining water wash over his feet.
The others also went back into the house, yawning.
Cicadas were chirping outside the house, and the wind came into the house, playfully hitting the door curtain as if it had lost its way, playing a nap song.
In the middle of summer, I replaced the bed with bamboo mats. These are antiques. The bamboo strips were polished around the edges to make them round and thornless.
The bamboo was brewing. I wiped the sweat off my body and lay on it. After a while, the heat in my heart dissipated.
However, over time, the gaps between the mats became larger, and the meat would be caught if you were not careful.
He frowned and hissed, rubbed his face a few times, turned over and went back to sleep.
Those who don't care about details will just put down the curtain and sleep on the floor in the room.
When I get out of bed with my eyes open after a nap, I might accidentally step on someone.
When Xie Yi was sleeping, he was wearing a white vest with his hands crossed and placed on his abdomen.
Cotton material becomes loose after being washed for a long time.
When I put it on and raised my hand, most of my armpit was exposed.
She lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while. She rested her arm with one hand and poked the soft flesh next to Xie Yi's armpit.
The man's armpits were shaved cleanly.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
Before she could poke a few times, Xie Yi closed his eyes and held her moving hands with his big hands.
"Nothing, just sleep. Move aside. I'm hot."
After the heat from my body had finally dissipated, this person's hand was like a hot water bottle in the middle of winter, which actually made me even hotter.
Xie Yi had no choice but to move to the side, turn sideways and tuck the hair on the man's face behind his ears.
"Go to sleep."
He has to go back to work tomorrow and feels so uncomfortable that he just wants to get some.
She lay there for a while, moved her fingers, and hooked her little finger with the person's thumb.
Xie Yi closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
At the Wu family across the street, Diao Yulian was lying on the bed, awake, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.
"Hiss~"
Wu Shengli's flesh was pinched by the bamboo mat again, and he grimaced in pain.
"Yulian, what are you thinking about when you're not sleeping in the middle of the day?"
"Don't bother me, I'm thinking about something!"
A palm-leaf fan hit his beer belly, causing the flesh to bounce.
Wu Shengli asked persistently, "What are you thinking about? About our son's tutoring?"
Because Wu Jiabao's grades were so bad, Hu Tou has been living in the Tsinghua University staff dormitory for a while.
No one cared about him, so Wu Jiabao ran around the alley happily and now he is sleeping like a pig in the next room.
It would be fine if I didn’t mention it, but as soon as I mentioned Diao Yulian, I felt uncomfortable all over.
His sleepiness was completely gone, and he sat up, lowering his voice and speaking in an irritable tone.
"The college entrance exam is next year. If I don't pass, am I really going to take over your job at the factory?"
Wu Shengli spread his hands and said, "What else can we do?"
"Wouldn't our family be in big trouble then? Jiabao just joined the factory and has no seniority, so only thirty yuan a month is too little!"
Diao Yulian became angrier the more she thought about it: "I should have known I shouldn't have let Chunyan go to Shanghai. It would have been better if our Jiabao could work in an office."
"What are you dreaming of? We have no connections, so how can we get the easy jobs?"
Wu Shengli sneered, breaking her fantasy.
He really doesn't have much to do in the Security Department and his life is comfortable.
That’s because he was wearing a red badge that read “Model Worker.”
Jiabao is a newcomer and his job will definitely not be easier than his.
Diao Yulian rolled her eyes and said, "How about I take two eggs to Zhang Dazui one day and ask if Zhiwen can help?"
"Aren't you afraid of Zhang Dazu scolding you?"
Zhang Dazui rented a slightly larger shopfront to the north of Lin Xiaotong's house and opened a stationery store.
There is a high school and a university nearby, so business is very good.
I often crack melon seeds, shake my legs, and chat gossip with others. I live a comfortable life.
Diao Yulian was extremely envious every time she passed by there.
"What do you mean? After all, I was the one who did Xia Yue's bridal makeup and hair when the second kid got married."
"Isn't this just a favor? They just turned around and gave you a red envelope.
If I piss off Zhang Dazui, I'll get punched. I can't beat Lao Zhou."
He is self-aware in this regard.
Diao Yulian choked and couldn't continue speaking. She pinched him twice in anger.
"Then what else can we do? Do you want your son to go out and practice selling things on the street?
Wouldn't I be laughed to death then?"
Wu Shengli's face was full of worry, because he only had this one precious son.
"The income from this stall is unstable. One day it's more, the next day it's less. You never know when you might run out of food!"
The number of stalls near the train station has increased dramatically recently, and there are several repair stalls alone.
Diao Yulian thought of the news she had just heard from Yang Shujuan.
He said tentatively, "How about we go abroad and make some money? Several dozen dollars a day!"
Wu Shengli shook his head decisively: "I'm not going."
"Then what do you say we should do? Don't play dead. Jiabao is not just my son!"
"It hurts, it hurts, Yulian, don't worry. On my way back, I heard Mr. Li next door say..."
…
Early the next morning, Gao Xiulan bought some vegetables and walked into the yard with a basket and found something wrong.
Lin Xiaotong was carrying breakfast nearby, looking curiously at the stranger who was lying on the hanging flower gate with his butt sticking up.
Hearing the voice, the man turned his head.
Gao Xiulan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw it: "It's you, the big golden retriever."
This person always patronizes her stall and bought two sets of plum blossom sportswear from her at one time.
People who are generous are always particularly remembered.
Lin Xiaotong's mouth twitched. Why did she remember that this man was called George?
But "Big Golden Retriever" is also quite descriptive, because George has a flowing golden hair.
He recognized it too, and his green eyes widened.
He looked excited and threw a series of strange punches on the spot.
He stood up straight and waited for Gao Xiulan's praise.
Gao Xiulan's face froze and she couldn't even smile. What the hell was this?
Searching for words in my mind, I asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The big golden retriever spoke excitedly while gesturing with his hands and quickly babbling a string of bird language from his mouth.
When Lin Xiaotong heard this, she was completely confused and felt something was not right.
"He came to look at the house and said he wanted to be our neighbor."
"Is there anyone in our courtyard looking to rent a house? I haven't heard of it. Did this person make a mistake?"
Xie Da Jiao came out of the house and bumped into the big golden retriever head-on. His expression froze and he stepped back.
"Xiu Lan, how did this person find his way here?"
He still felt a little guilty, because this man was also his old customer, the foreigner who always liked to spend dollars to buy his homemade woodworking gadgets.
My first reaction was: Did you come to my house specifically to return the money?
Wu Shengli in the west room heard the sound and pushed the door open. When he saw the stranger in the yard, his eyes lit up with joy.
"You came without even telling me, gogogo."
She was learning and using English immediately, with an attentive smile on her face, and she took George's hand and dragged him into the house.
Gao Xiulan couldn't help but ask, "No, is it your family that wants to rent a house?"
The three people in the old Wu family now occupy a main house and two small second-rooms, so it is reasonable to rent out one of them.
Wu Shengli was about to speak when he saw Diao Yulian coming out.
He talks so smoothly that it's impossible to stop him from talking.
"Yulian, the people who want to buy a house are here!"
Jin Qiaofeng leaned against the door with the bowl in her hands, her jaw dropped in shock.
"What the hell? Diao Yulian, are you selling your house?"
The tone was out of control, and everyone in the courtyard heard it and poked their heads out.
