Liu Jing is pretty and delicate, and because of the Yangxi Jue, her complexion is getting fairer and fairer. When the little boy calls her sister, the woman feels like she is floating in the air.
She covered her mouth and laughed, "My children are older than you, so they should call me auntie."
The aunt is very young. Liu Jing is not a sweet-talker, but everyone likes to hear nice words. In order to successfully rent a house, she is willing to say it. Besides, she didn’t say anything too exaggerated.
This woman has a baby face and is very fair-skinned, so she really looks like she is in her twenties.
The woman gathered her hair and raised her chest higher. It was obvious that Liu Jing's words "sister" made her feel very comfortable. It was possible that she had a good and smooth year.
So she didn't think about renting this house too expensively.
"If you want to rent it, it's fifty yuan a month. If you agree, I'll sign a contract with you. Although it's only for one month, all the necessary formalities must be followed."
"Fifty yuan is quite reasonable." Liu Liang was very satisfied with the price. Such a big house only cost fifty yuan, which was a good deal for her. Moreover, she had her own toilet, so she didn't have to follow a group of people and fight for a toilet. This was what satisfied her most.
"Alright then," the woman clapped her hands. "Let's make it a deal. Auntie, go get the contract now."
As the woman spoke, she walked outside. In fact, there was no formal contract at that time. She just took a pen and wrote a simple contract.
The woman casually wrote a contract and placed it in front of Liu Liang.
She said with a smile, "It's just a formality. It doesn't matter whether you want it or not."
She was very confident in renting the house to Liu Jing. She didn't care whether Liu Jing was a child or not. There was nothing in the house, just a few broken furniture, which was not worth much. It was impossible for Liu Jing to carry the door away. Moreover, she planned to come back after the New Year to renovate the house. By then, the furniture here might have to be thrown away.
After signing the contract, Liu Liang took out fifty yuan from her schoolbag and handed it to the woman. The woman happily took it, thinking that with the fifty yuan, she would no longer have to worry about her child's New Year's money.
She handed the key to the front door to Liu Jing, but still suggested that Liu Jing buy a new lock, after all, this lock was left by the previous tenant.
Liu Jing held the key tightly in her hand and went out to buy a big lock to lock the door.
After the woman left, Liu Liang put down her schoolbag, then she raised her wrist to check the time. It was only a little after two o'clock, so there was still some time left.
She went straight outside, found a hardware store, and bought a big lock, a broom, a washbasin, and a cheap towel.
Then, she spent more than an hour cleaning the house inside and out, ate the leftover food, and prepared to go home.
By the time she came back in the shaky car, it was already dark outside. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, so it is normal for it to be dark at six o'clock.
When they got to the tube-shaped building, she gave half of the milk candy she bought to Grandma Wang's grandson, and gave the remaining half to Ma Xiaobao. As expected, a child of this age, don't underestimate him, but he can already remember things. The little cub even told his grandmother that he believed his sister would bring him delicious food, and his sister always promised, and she would not lie to a child.
And should Liu Jing be thankful now that when she came back and took the bus, there was someone selling this candy nearby, so she bought it. Otherwise, she would really have broken her promise.
Mom, I'm back.
Liu Liang pushed open the door and Zhou Lanping walked out of the kitchen. When he saw her, he also smiled.
"That's perfect. The rice is ready. Let's eat first."
Liu Liang responded, put down her schoolbag, and then helped Zhou Lanping bring the food out of the kitchen. Although the food Zhou Lanping made was not as delicious as Liu Liang's, it was not bad either. For Liu Liang, it was a blessing to be able to eat the food cooked by her mother again in this life, even if it was just a sip of soup. She would not trade it for any delicacies from land and sea.
It was also at this time that Liu Liang told Zhou Lanping about her decision to go to Yu City to sell cloth flowers.
"It's a bit far to go there."
Zhou Lanping knew that if these cloth flowers were sold in Yu City, they would definitely sell much better than in Xingning. There were many people there, several times more than in Xingning, and their purchasing power was also better than in Xingning. However, it would take nearly two hours to get there by car from here to Yu City. If the traffic was congested, they would probably spend nearly half of the day in the car.
Those who can make it probably don’t have the time to sell it.
Some of them are not worth the effort and some of them are not very realistic.
"Just go live there."
Liu Liang has planned everything, which is more convenient than for them to live here and go to Xingning to sell.
"live?"
Zhou Lanping was stunned. "Where, where? Under the bridge?"
"I rented a house there." Liu Jing continued eating and said as she ate.
"We mostly buy some scraps of cloth from Aunt Qin, then find a truck and haul it there. It doesn't cost much."
"You rented a house?"
Zhou Lanping really felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became.
When was this child rented? If she remembered correctly, she was only thirteen this year. Why did she have so many concerns?
"Just rented it today." Liu Liang put a bunch of dishes in Zhou Lanping's bowl and told her to eat more and talk less. If she continued talking, she would be careful of indigestion.
"Mom, go to Aunt Qin again and we'll buy some more cloth."
Liu Liang calculated the time. They were now making cloth flowers very quickly and their home was almost full. The house she rented was very big, and the large living room was big enough to store all the cloth flowers and scraps. Moreover, they were not worried about making too many, and they were not afraid that they would be crushed by the car.
"How did you rent it?"
Zhou Lanping always felt that she was inferior to her daughter in every way. Others also said that her daughter Jingjing was not as smart as the previous one. Obviously, her daughter Jingjing had a unique little head. Even adults could not do business, but in her hands, it was easy. She could think of things that others could not think of.
In just a few months, they earned money that others could not earn in several years.
Liu Liang just said that she went to Yu City to visit a classmate, and happened to see an advertisement for renting a house, so she tried to find one. As a result, she found one right away, and it only paid fifty yuan a month, where she could sleep and cook, and the place where they were going to sell things was across the street.
If they set up a stall, they can do so near their doorstep so they can pick up goods at any time.
