Three hundred yuan plus one hundred kilograms of cornmeal.
Hu Xiaoman thought the price was okay, and the most important thing was that the location was suitable, only a hundred meters away from the main street.
The houses nearby all have high walls and strong privacy. The wall of this courtyard is a bit dilapidated and needs to be repaired.
The rest of the stuff can be added casually, it shouldn't cost much.
After thinking about it, she hesitated and said, "I can't make the decision. Besides, I don't know if there is any problem with your house. You said it's your mother-in-law's house, can you make the decision?"
This house is not hers, how can she have the final say alone?
The woman thought so and said, "Go back and ask. If it's okay, I'll bring my mother-in-law to go with you to the street office."
Anyway, my mother-in-law knows the situation at home and has planned to sell the house.
Just go back and say hello, it’s no trouble.
Hu Xiaoman nodded when he heard her words, "Then I'll go back and ask my family. If it's okay, I'll come over in the afternoon."
She has to go to work tomorrow and she doesn't have that much time.
So, if we can get things done today, we should do it as soon as possible.
After leaving here, Hu Xiaoman went to the black market for a while. After all, he only had two hundred yuan, which was not enough to meet the three hundred yuan they wanted.
She doesn't have cornmeal either, which is a problem. I don't know if people want rice.
She had no other staple food except corn.
There was a bag of flour and a bag of millet in the apartment, but she didn't want to sell them and wanted to keep them for herself.
The less stuff you have, the more you should keep for yourself.
Hu Xiaoman sold things worth more than 200 yuan and went straight back to the place where he had sold the house before.
However, she did not go looking for anyone immediately, but found a deserted place to enter the space.
Sure enough, there was no cornmeal in it, and there was a little less rice, which made her a little uneasy.
After all, she was not worried as long as she had food in her hands, but the fact that there was just a little bit less made her panic.
Opening her phone, she saw the saved number of the grain, oil and grocery store downstairs.
I tried calling and it actually went through. Yeah, if I can buy express delivery, this should work too, right?
"Hello."
When Hu Xiaoman heard someone answer the phone, he immediately said, "Hello, I'm from Building 18. Can you deliver to your door?"
She didn't know if it could be delivered, so she decided to ask first.
"Sure, give me the specific address and what to send?"
"A 20-jin bag of flour and a barrel of soybean oil."
"Okay, I'll call you when it's delivered."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiaoman felt a little nervous, because when she opened the door, there was space outside, and she didn't know if it could be delivered.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Hu Xiaoman was stunned, then immediately went to open the door.
The outside no longer looked like a space, but became a normal apartment corridor.
"Hello, this is you who placed the order, right? Pay by mobile phone or in cash?" The person outside put the item on the ground.
Hu Xiaoman quickly replied: "Mobile payment."
The man took out a QR code and asked her to scan it.
After scanning it, he glanced at the price and asked, "Do you have cornmeal? I want 100 kilograms."
"One hundred pounds?" The man was stunned for a moment. "That's a lot! I have it, but I can't move it by myself."
He looked embarrassed and didn't want to move.
Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "I can add fifty."
After all, it is a physical job. Although there is an elevator, it is still tiring to carry things back and forth.
"Okay, then you pay first and I'll get it for you."
Their store has other grains, and they have about one or two hundred kilograms of cornmeal in stock.
Hu Xiaoman paid the bill quickly and watched him leave.
She tried to go out, but was bounced back by the invisible transparent wall.
"What the hell?"
She was stunned. Was she not allowed to leave?
Hu Xiaoman closed the door and glanced at the food beside it. If he couldn't go out, then he couldn't go out. Anyway, being able to buy something was already very good.
It would be amazing if I could go out again.
After waiting for about half an hour, Hu Xiaoman finally heard the knock on the door again.
After opening the door, the man who had just delivered the goods was pushing a cart with two bags of grain piled on it.
Each bag weighs 50 kilograms and has the manufacturer's name on it.
"Thank you." Hu Xiaoman thanked with a smile.
She put the things on the ground, closed the door, thought for a while and opened it, and sure enough, it turned back into the space it once was.
There was no obstruction to going out, which was strange.
She found two clean sacks and poured the cornmeal into them.
After finishing all this, I went out to look at the sky and it was almost dark.
Hu Xiaoman picked up his watch and looked at it. It was indeed six o'clock in the afternoon.
I found the same yard and the same woman was inside.
"Emma, you're here! I thought you weren't coming." The woman came over and said, "I've already finished my meal and am here. If you hadn't come, I would have locked the door and gone home."
Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's a bit hard to pull the food. Should we go to the street first?"
Since house buying and selling is now possible, the street office can issue a certificate.
The woman nodded, and the two of them went to the street.
The subsequent procedures were very easy. Although the man’s mother-in-law did not come, she had been notified in advance, so there would be no unexpected situations.
And the procedures were complete. The street office went there to issue a certificate, and everything went smoothly.
The money was paid on the street, and she took people to get the food.
After buying the house, Hu Xiaoman changed the door lock immediately because it had been taken away by someone.
The house was also empty, except for the glass in the doors and windows that had been removed.
There was nothing left but empty houses.
There's not even a broken stool, how mean.
Hu Xiaoman didn't care. He just thought of it as not having to throw away garbage, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After taking a look at the house, she replaced the new lock and turned back home.
It was already seven o'clock when we got home.
As soon as she entered the door, Zhang Chunxia started.
"You stupid girl, I told you to come back early this afternoon, but you didn't listen."
"Where have you been?! Can you please give me some attention? You're already so old!"
After the call, she was gasping for breath.
Hu Xiaoman glanced at her calmly and said, "I've already found a place to live. I'll move out tomorrow, and then this house will be empty. You don't have to introduce me to anyone. I'm only seventeen."
She almost gritted her teeth when she said the last four words.
Yes, she was only seventeen years old. In later generations, she would not have even graduated from high school.
Maybe it would have been possible to start a family in earlier years, but now is the time.
The child is planning to get married at the age of seventeen, and he is not afraid of being laughed at if he tells others about it.
Zhang Chunxia was stunned when she heard this. Looking for a house?
"Are you going out to rent a house?" she asked in surprise.
In a large factory like a sugar factory, single dormitories are usually occupied by couples. How could they provide housing for Hu Xiaoman?
So, now there is only one explanation, that is, she rented a house.
