Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Go back and continue farming? …
"Except for you, who else can persuade him to go back? Could it be me?" Huang Wenfa and Zhao Ruyue were childhood friends. When they were young, they were naughty and provoked her, and were often beaten by her.
They are very familiar with each other and never know what politeness is when speaking.
"Bullshit!" Zhao Ruyue retorted without any hesitation, "Stop accusing me. This time, for Xiaoli's sake, I won't argue with you."
If she were a child, she would have kicked him away.
But now that everyone is married, no matter how good the relationship is, you have to be careful about the limits.
Ning Shaoming saw that his brother had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "This is really my own idea, Xiaoyue, listen to me."
Huang Wenfa said with disgust: "Come on, you still want her to listen to you, you are that... that handsome guy from Sichuan in the kitchen said, what is that? Oh, right, a henpecked man!"
"What do you mean by a henpecked man? Even if he is a henpecked man, so what?" Before Ning Shaoming could continue to explain, Zhao Ruyue had already spoken up for her husband, "People in Pengcheng say that men who listen to their wives will become rich!"
Huang Wenfa's wife Wu Li was sitting next to him. She rushed over and held him down: "Xiao Yue, don't worry about my face. I'll help you hold him down, and you can teach him a lesson!"
"Why are you so mean?" Huang Wenfa complained loudly, "Look at the couple, how united they are!"
Wu Li: "With your mouth, who can unite with you?"
The couple was fighting and the two people next to them didn't try to stop them.
After knowing each other for such a long time, I know that this is how the couple gets along. Whoever tries to persuade them will be in trouble. Just let them quarrel for a while and then they will stop.
After confirming that Ning Shaoming's decision to resign would not be changed, Huang Wenfa could not say or persuade him any more.
I can only respect my brother's decision and be mentally prepared that there will be no acquaintances to help in the kitchen in the future.
They are no longer young and energetic people. They will not act impulsively and say that they will follow their brothers. After all, they all have families now and have to consider their families more.
This job is easier than working in a factory, with high salary and good benefits.
Just based on these, he has to persevere even if he has no talent in cooking and can only do waiter's work.
"Everything else is easy, except that I have to find a new house." Huang Wenfa was a little worried.
This house doesn't have very good lighting, but its location is really good.
It is very close to the bus stop, shopping malls, supermarkets, pedestrian streets, vegetable markets and hospitals, all within walking distance. It is not far to where Huang Wenfa and Wu Li work by taking the bus.
The house looks a bit old, but it is actually well maintained.
Its biggest disadvantage is that the rent is expensive. It is more cost-effective to share a house, but if you rent it alone, the rent is not worth it for people like them who only stay at home during sleeping time and rare rest time.
Ning Shaoming felt bad, so he said, "I'll ask the landlord for you some other day to see if he has any vacant single rooms nearby."
"No matter what, there must be a single room," Zhao Ruyue said, "I'm just afraid you think it's unlucky and don't want to rent it."
"You mean..." Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue exchanged glances and understood which room she was talking about.
Huang Wenfa looked at this and then at that: "Stop playing dumb, you two!"
Ning Shaoming told Huang Wenfa: "She was talking about the room that Lu Qiuying and Sun Hongguang rented before. The two were convicted and the landlord had taken back their room and would not rent it to them anymore.
I smashed some things in the house, and the landlord deducted their rent and deposit as compensation, and was planning to use the compensation to buy some new furniture in that room. ”
"It's nice to have new furniture," Huang Wenfa, who had also been to that room, "but it's a little small, and the lighting isn't as good as ours."
Wu Li didn't want to move to an unfamiliar area, rent a house somewhere else, and then have to go through the trouble of dealing with a new landlord who she didn't know was good or bad.
She said: "I think that house is pretty good. The landlord only rented the house to Lu Qiuying and her husband, not to them. Why should they be afraid of bad luck? It doesn't matter whose house you rent. Would it be better to move to another place?
The previous tenant of this house committed a crime, so we changed to another one. What if someone died in the house before, we wouldn’t know about it! ”
Huang Wenfa nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense."
"We should do this as soon as possible. I will ask the landlord for you tomorrow." Zhao Ruyue put down her fork. "I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home anyway. You'd better make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the landlord will rent it out."
Ning Shaoming agreed, "Yes, it's best to settle it before going home for the New Year. Otherwise, after the New Year, there will be many people working in Pengcheng and many people looking for houses to rent. Not only will it be hard to find a suitable house, but the rent may even go up."
Wu Li looked at Zhao Ruyue: "Thank you for your help, Xiaoyue."

When Zhao Ruyue went to find Lu Fa, Lu Fa felt it was a pity when he heard her say that the couple would not come after the New Year, and repeatedly advised them not to come several times.
He even offered to let them live in the house they were renting for free, but Zhao Ruyue was determined to go back to her hometown, and Lu Fa was unable to persuade her and had to give up.
However, Lu Fa insisted that he would return the three months' rent and the deposit that Ning Shaoming had paid before to her immediately.
Zhao Ruyue didn't bother to be polite with him. The monthly rent was 600 yuan, which was divided among the two families, 300 yuan each. Three months' rent plus the returned deposit was more than her monthly salary.
Earlier, when Lu Fa brought his family and the Zhou family to formally thank Zhao Ruyue and his wife, he did not mention the rent.
He originally wanted to reduce part of the rent, but he was afraid that Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming, two honest people, would feel embarrassed and reject the proposal.
So I thought about waiting three months and then mentioning this to them when they pay the rent. I would waive half of their rent for as long as they have been renting, thus completely repaying the favor. However, I didn't expect that they would not come after the New Year.
Lu Fa felt very sorry and thought about making up for it from other places.
"Have you ever thought about what kind of business you will do when you return to your hometown?" Lu Fa pondered for a while and asked Zhao Ruyue, "You won't continue farming when you return? Farming doesn't make much money, and it's very hard work."
He knew that the Gao family gave the couple a sum of compensation, but he didn't know the exact amount.
He thought just as Zhao Ruyue had thought before, that he could only give 30,000 to 50,000 yuan at most, and if he wanted to spend this money for two more years, he would have to be extremely frugal.
Lu Fa thought that he might as well take this opportunity to repay the favor he owed to the couple, otherwise he would always be thinking about it.
Zhao Ruyue followed instructions carefully and had never expected that there would be such a surprise on this trip.
She realized that the landlord might want to introduce them to a small business that they could also do in their hometown.
Zhao Ruyue said tentatively: "We haven't decided yet, but my Shaoming has some skills. When we get back, we might set up a stall to test the waters. If the business is good, we can open a small shop."
She paid attention to Lu Fa's expression as she spoke, and found that he showed a somewhat regretful expression after hearing what she said.
He immediately added: "He is good at kitchen work, but I am not so good at it. Maybe I can set up a small stall and sell some small commodities."
"That's right. Doing a small business, even if you don't make much money, is better than working hard all day long." Now Lu Fa felt that he could help and looked much better.
He smiled and said, "My family and the Zhou family have several relatives who run factories. If you don't have a suitable source of goods, you can go to his factory for wholesale. The person I introduce will give you the lowest factory price no matter how much goods you buy. When you are free, I can take you there to have a look."
Zhao Ruyue suppressed her excitement and said, "That's great, thank you for your help. I'll ask Shaoming to quit his job a few days earlier. When January comes and the factory is not so busy, I'll go with you to take a look. Is that okay?"
"Sure, sure." Lu Fa agreed cheerfully, "Just tell me one day in advance."
