Chapter 544: What I Saw at the Hotel
"Good boy, I asked you to guard the door here, but you actually fell asleep! Did you know that the guests are here?!"
Before Xia Tian could finish her question, she heard a very powerful voice coming from inside the house.
He looked old but had a loud voice, and it seemed he was in good health.
"What?!" The little boy guarding the door was also awakened. He subconsciously looked inside the house, then turned around and saw Xia Tian and Si Ye. He greeted them dazedly, "Uh, I didn't expect there would be guests at this time... Are you two here for dinner or to stay overnight? Come in and sit down..."
Xia Tian realized that the business here was probably not very good and not many people came here on weekdays, so there were not many people in the hotel.
She didn't mind and explained, "We two came to Dongfang City from somewhere else and would like to stay here for a few days. Do you have any clean rooms available? Please arrange a quiet one for us and borrow your stove. We can cook for ourselves."
"You guys want to stay here?" Maybe there are really few people staying here, the little boy's face was full of surprise.
But after all, he was used to living here, so he quickly adjusted himself and started to get busy going in and out. Soon he brought them to a clean stone house.
He scratched his head awkwardly, "No one has been here for a long time, and the house hasn't been occupied for a while. It was originally the upper room, but my grandma said to give it to you as a normal room... I packed it up in a hurry, so you guys have to deal with the rest by yourselves."
On the way here, Xia Tian observed the surrounding environment and found that this stone house was indeed the best one around.
Not only is it the most spacious and newest, but it also faces south and has good air circulation. It's obvious that the store owner really wants to keep them.
The audience in the live broadcast room also noticed it.
[This is really the best house nearby, and it only charges the same as a normal room]
Business is so bad here, will they take advantage of this to extort money? After all, it was just a verbal agreement, no contract or anything.
[I've been overthinking this before. Can't I just trust the simple folk customs of a place?]
[I think so too! And I always feel like there's something a little weird about this store. Wait for the sequel...]
"It's okay. It's great to have a place for us to stay. Don't bother you with the rest. Go ahead and do your work. We'll call you if anything happens." Xia Tian was also very polite. "Besides you, is there anyone else in this store?"
Her voice is soft and gentle, without any aggression, and is very comfortable to listen to.
In fact, it was the little boy’s situation that made her feel a little emotional.
Having to look after the store and greet customers at such a young age reminded her of her childhood.
Because I have never had parents to take care of me since I was a child, I usually live with relatives and can only barely have enough food to eat and a place to sleep.
But studying, as well as daily necessities, all require money.
So she started working everywhere when she was very young, but due to her age, she could only do some auxiliary work and could not earn much money.
Later, by chance, I entered the live broadcast industry, and my life gradually improved...
Hearing her ask this, the little boy shook his head and said, "It's not just me. I have my father, mother, and grandmother at home. But my father usually goes out hunting and is not at home very often. Mother and grandmother are not in good health and don't go out much either."
