Chapter 2256 Renting a House (Part 2)
More than ten minutes later, when Xu Ankang finished the work at hand, he remembered that Chen Zhenzhen was still outside the yard, so he didn't bother to go back to the house to wash up until he walked to the gate of the yard and opened it.
When the door of the yard was opened, Lu Xiaoxiao looked inside the yard and then she was stunned.
When she heard his voice just now, she thought Xu Bo was a middle-aged man, but she never expected that Xu Bo was actually an old man with a stubble, unkempt appearance, and over 60 years old. It was really strange.
"Girl, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?" Xu Ankang opened the gate and before he could say anything, he saw Lu Xiaoxiao staring at him, so he asked.
After hearing what Xu Ankang said, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that she was being rude, so she said to Xu Ankang embarrassedly: "Grandpa Xu, I'm sorry for being rude just now."
"Hehe...it's okay, it's okay. I know I'm good-looking, and it's nothing strange that you keep staring at me. I don't blame you.
If you still want to watch it, you can continue watching it. I don’t mind.”
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard Xu Ankang's words. She really couldn't associate Xu Ankang with the word good-looking.
Maybe Xu Ankang was really good-looking when he was young, but now Xu Ankang has a face full of stubble and looks unkempt, which is not good-looking at all.
She didn't know where Xu Ankang got the confidence to say that he was good-looking.
But she also understood why Chen Zhenzhen told her not to take Xu Ankang's words to heart.
Seeing Xu Ankang start to speak without restraint again, Chen Zhenzhen immediately stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Uncle Xu, do you want to go wash up first?"
"Of course I'm going to wash up. If it wasn't for opening the door for you, I would have done it long ago."
Chen Zhenzhen was already used to Xu Ankang's straightforward way of speaking, so when she heard Xu Ankang's words, she was not angry at all. Instead, she urged Xu Ankang to go wash up quickly.
After Xu Ankang left, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Chen Zhenzhen, "Aunt Chen, what does Grandpa Xu do for a living?"
"A carpenter, but Xu Bo is not an ordinary carpenter."
"Why is it unusual?"
"I don't know about that, but if I want him to make a set of furniture, this is the minimum amount I want?"
"One hundred yuan is quite expensive." Lu Xiaoxiao said after seeing Chen Zhenzhen pointing up a finger.
"What's a hundred? It's a thousand."
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but gasp after hearing what Chen Zhenzhen said. She didn't expect that a set of furniture made by Xu Ankang would be so expensive. It was really scary.
When Xu Ankang returned to the yard after washing up, she saw the little girl who had been staring at her with a shocked look on her face, so she asked, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. I was just shocked when I heard that Grandpa Xu would charge a thousand yuan for making furniture for someone else."
“Is it expensive to make a set of furniture for a thousand dollars?”
"Of course it's expensive. Nowadays, workers only earn more than 20 yuan a month. Based on their wages, they will never be able to afford to hire you to make furniture for them in their lifetime."
"Even if they have money to ask me to make furniture for them, I won't do it for them."
"Why?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly.
"Because they can't get good wood, I don't want to use my skills to make ordinary wood."
"Grandpa Xu, if they can provide good wood, will you help them make furniture?"
"Of course, I don't discriminate. I just have requirements for the wood."
