Chapter 359 Enemy



The pile of fallen leaves that had been swept together with great difficulty was pulled apart again by the furry children.

Yi Qingqing put the broom aside: "Da Fu, come here."

"Meow~" Dafu ran over happily.

Yi Qingqing picked it up and gave it a few good rubs. Just as she was thinking about how to stop it from making trouble, she heard Yun Guyuan say, "As a member of our family, Dafu has to take on the task of cleaning. I just made him a new toy."

It was a mini broom made from the scraps of bamboo brooms.

Yi Qingqing: “???”

"Can this thing be used?"

Although Dafu is smart, how can his little paws hold a broom?

"Let's give it a try, maybe it will work?" Yun Guyuan said.

After a moment, Dafu placed his hind legs firmly on the ground, and his front paws were grabbing the mini broom, scratching the ground again and again.

It was indeed very stable on its two legs, but if it moved it would fall flat on its face. It was incapable of walking on two legs at all, and it could not sweep more than a few times before having to move to another place with the broom in its mouth.

At first, I thought it was fun to imitate my owner and sweep the leaves, but soon I couldn't stand my playful nature anymore.

"Da Fu is really good! His lower body is so stable!" Yi Qingqing praised.

"It's a black cat. Sweeping small fallen leaves is not a problem for it. It can handle this scattered pile of fallen leaves. Let's go sweep somewhere else," Yun Guyuan suggested.

"Da Fu, are you okay with this?" Yi Qingqing asked.

Da Fu raised his chin, full of confidence: "Meow~"

It's so powerful that it can do anything! How could it be defeated by a tiny fallen leaf? We can't let this bad guy underestimate it!

Yi Qingqing saw that Dafu was working as hard as Sahuaner, so she let it go.

A kitten that can sweep the floor is always less troublesome than a kitten that makes a mess when sweeping the floor.

She and Yun Guyuan swept from the front yard to the main yard, and from the front yard to the back yard. When they finished cleaning all the yards and returned to the front yard to see Dafu, they saw that the small pile of fallen leaves that had been scattered around had been swept together, with a black cat lying on top of it, and the small broom was gone.

Yi Qingqing picked it up and swept the pile of fallen leaves under the tree next to her.

"Dafu, where's your little broom?"

Dafu glanced guiltily at the small mound of fresh earth at the base of the wall and shook his head: "Meow~"

Yun Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, I'll give it a few more tomorrow to give it more exercise."

???

Dafu's hair is about to explode.

It's just an ordinary little cat, why pick on it? Someone is always so annoying!

"Don't make trouble next time, or I'll punish you to play with the broom again!"

Yi Qingqing held Da Fu in one hand and stroked its head to the tip of its tail with the other hand. She glanced at A Yuan and saw that he did not hide the slightly raised corners of his mouth, so she shook her head.

One of them was doing bad things secretly and was laughing when he succeeded, while the other one was really fooled by this provocation and just swept the fallen leaves foolishly.

Even her master didn't know that Dafu was so polite.

I really don’t know if they are really enemies. They cooperate so well.

I just got off the train today and swept the whole day, so I felt lazy in the evening and didn't light the fire to cook. I took some ready-made dishes from the cooked food cabinet and ate them with Yun Guyuan.

"Ayuan, I plan to go to the Housing Authority in the next two days and exchange the money I have for real estate," Yi Qingqing said.

"Let's go together. I have some cash that I saved before. I was planning to use it to buy a house after arriving in the imperial capital. But I didn't expect the welfare in this area of ​​the imperial capital to be so good. I was given a house directly. The money is useless, so I might as well exchange it for a house." Yun Guyuan also said.

The next morning, the two went out.

Yi Qingqing had never been to the Housing Authority, but she was already very familiar with it.

Knowing that there was a clerk named Jia who was very familiar with Li Mengxue, Li Mengxue promised him that as long as he introduced a house that suited her, she would give him some commission privately on top of the original price.

The small courtyard at the entrance was built by this person.

Knowing that she liked courtyard houses, I introduced many of them to her later, but they were either in disrepair and difficult to renovate, or there were some difficult tenants inside who were unwilling to move out, so I didn't make any moves.

Even if it didn't work out, when he came to deliver news to Li Mengxue, Li Mengxue would still give him something.

Section 218

The clerks in the Housing Management Office in this era were not like the real estate agents of later generations who could get commissions. They all received a fixed salary. The commission that Li Mengxue promised was no small matter to him. He also knew that she was generous and rich, so he was quite concerned about her affairs.

Yi Qingqing didn't plan to spend so much money to build a good relationship with the clerks this time and ask them to help keep an eye on the properties.

The main reason is that she feels that these days, there are very few people who are eager to spend large sums of money to buy houses, but there are many people who rent houses.

Her only competitor in buying a house is probably Li Mengxue.

But in the eyes of the clerk named Jia, Li Mengxue still has a special liking for courtyard houses!

So if there was no housing available for her, she wouldn't have to waste her energy trying to build relationships. She just needed to do her job conscientiously and not do anything bad, so she just put some easy-to-grab snacks in her pocket.

If you ask someone to do something for you, just give them some snacks, that's enough.

Anyway, she planned to get things done in the next few days and didn't want to keep focusing on the house.

Once you enter the Housing Authority, you'll see that there are several offices in charge of housing rentals, each divided into different areas; however, there's only one office in the corner that's in charge of housing sales.

Just as she thought, the benches outside other offices were full of people waiting to get things done, and there were several people standing in line. When she turned a corner and came to the house sale office, there was no one there, not a single person.

The door was ajar, and Yi Qingqing knocked three times gently.

"Come in!"

Yi Qingqing then pulled Yun Guyuan into a small office with only three desks combined together. There were two clerks sitting there, one older and the other looking quite young.

There was still a vacant seat. Looking at the nameplate on the empty table, the clerk named Jia, who was familiar with Li Mengxue, was not there.

As soon as they came in, everyone looked at them.

The older clerk took a sip of tea from the enamel mug, and the younger one said, "Are you two going to buy a house?"

"Yes," Yi Qingqing said.

Looking at the name tags on the desk, the man who was speaking was surnamed Yuan, and the older one was surnamed Ma.

Yi Qingqing had seen all of these in the Golden Book. The man surnamed Ma was the director of the housing sales office. He had a lot of experience, but he didn't do much work. The serious work, such as going out to look at houses and running errands, was done by the other two clerks.
