Yi Qingqing saw that Comrade Da Jinhua had taken the bait and felt that it was a good deal, but she still had to be polite: "I also feel it's a pity, but this is the situation now. I have no choice. I can do some things secretly to make money, but how dare I hand over my life and property to others, cooperate with others, and let others manage it? Oh, don't talk about this, the more I talk about it, the more uncomfortable I feel!"

Li Mengxue suddenly felt that sometimes it was uncomfortable to know too much.

Section 226

She clearly knows that self-employed individuals will be legal by the end of this year, but she can't tell anyone. As a result, she is now facing pessimistic sisters who are full of treasures. She has no way to convince them. She can only wait until time passes and the situation develops to that level. It's so painful.

Yi Qingqing felt that the groundwork had been laid. After the policy was relaxed, Comrade Da Jinhua would probably come to her on her own initiative without her urging.

Yi Qingqing must take good care of such a self-taught high-quality labor force. She said enthusiastically, "It's almost noon. I'll go cook. We'll have lunch at our house!"

Li Mengxue's eyes lit up in an instant: "Really?"

"Do you want to be polite? I won't keep any politeness..."

Before Yi Qingqing finished speaking, Li Mengxue waved her hands: "No, no, no, we are who we are! Hey, Qingqing, I love you so much!"

He hugged Yi Qingqing and kissed her fiercely, then pulled her and said excitedly: "Come on, come on, I'll help you. Please feel free to use me if you need any work!"

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Yun Guyuan who was standing beside him: "Comrade Yun, you take a rest. I will help Qingqing today. You just wait for the food!"

Yun Guyuan: "..."

The girl who kissed him and even snatched his position as his assistant, his resentment is comparable to that of a deadly ghost.

"It's so cold," Li Mengxue rubbed her arms and moved closer to Yi Qingqing: "Qingqing, your hands are so warm, like a small stove."

Yi Qingqing held her icy little hand and said, "You should wear more clothes. Don't just talk about looking good. Don't get cold and get sick!"

How can such high-quality labor force not take good care of their health? This is related to her plan to make money!

"I know, I know! Housekeeper!" Comrade Li Mengxue ignored it and would rather be cold than wear bulky clothes.

Yi Qingqing shook her head. She was not a housekeeper. She was determined to be a hands-off boss!

During the meal, the three of them ate at the table, while Daifuku was enjoying the cat food made by his owner in his own cat bowl under the table.

"This courtyard is good, but it's too big. Now we don't have servants like in the old society. Someone came outside, but I couldn't hear the knock on the door in the main courtyard. Were you in the front yard before? I thought no one would answer the door, so I planned to rest for a while and run back!" While eating, Li Mengxue talked about what happened when she just came.

"We were making furniture in the backyard before, and planned to move to a small courtyard on Xuefu Road near Imperial Capital University after school starts. It's close to the school and convenient for taking care of Dafu. We didn't hear any knocking on the door, it was Dafu who came to tell us," Yi Qingqing was full of pride when talking about her furry child.

"Da Fu?" Li Mengxue looked at the little black cat eating its meal with curiosity: "It's so smart! Is it a male or female?"

"Female cat," Yiqingqing said.

"When they have cubs in the future, I will adopt one! I hope it can inherit Dafu's cleverness and look after the house for me," Li Mengxue said expectantly.

Yi Qingqing shook her head. Dafu had taken cat contraceptive strips, so it was impossible to wait for it to give birth to puppies.

But I couldn't tell Li Mengxue this, so I could only suggest to her: "Comrade Gao is not here, and you, a girl, living alone, it's not safe whether it's a small yard or a big house. When Dafu gives birth to a baby, you might as well get a big dog to raise. It can not only watch over the house, but also protect your safety and deter bad guys. Unemployed young people don't go to the countryside anymore, and there are a lot more idle people on the streets, so you should be careful too."

Li Mengxue nodded: "You are right, it would be better to raise a big dog. Ying Hua also said that it is not safe recently and asked me to live with him. I refused to agree. How can I live with him than in my big house? I will go and look for a big wolf dog to raise at home."

She has the supermarket space, so she is not too worried about someone breaking into her house and posing a threat to her, but having a big dog does make her feel safer.

I'm already thinking about where to get it. Maybe I can ask Ying Hua from their family for help.

"By the way, can you still get some supplies? Dafu loves to eat cat food made with fish, but you can't always buy fish at the morning market. Even if you save on it, it's still not enough," Yi Qingqing asked her.

Dafu's food still consists of the smoked fish she had saved up and the fish stored in Ayuan's Yintu Guidao. She only uses a little bit each time and mixes it with other things. By now, she has almost finished it.

"Sure! I can get you as much as you want! But Dafu can't be left hungry," Li Mengxue liked Dafu very much.

"Get a few dozen kilograms, I'll smoke it and eat it slowly," said Yi Qingqing.

Li Mengxue patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me!"

After they finished their meal, Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan went to help Li Mengxue clean up No. 13 Luoguxiang in the afternoon.

The three of them worked for an entire afternoon, but they only pulled out some weeds in the yard and cleared up some spider webs.

"Oh my god, this is too hard to clean up!" Li Mengxue pounded her waist, "Let's clean up this much first, and find someone to take care of the rest later! I can see that this won't be a quick job! How do you two usually clean such a large area?"

A large house that had not been lived in for many years was covered in dust, and it was too troublesome to clean. Even if her friends worked hard to help her clean it all, she still had to do daily cleaning when she lived there alone.

It's so big that there's no way she could clean it.

Li Mengxue now realized why those wealthy people who lived in big villas and mansions in her previous life had nannies, cleaning ladies, and even Filipino maids at home. It was really because it was difficult to clean such a large place with so few people.

After this afternoon's conversation, she no longer felt excited about her dream of living in a courtyard house. She even felt that the small courtyard at the front was more comfortable to live in.

"In fact, we only use the main house in the main courtyard, the west wing and a few rooms in the back house more frequently. The others are temporarily sealed. You can also clean the main house and use it first," Yi Qingqing suggested.

"I'd better live in my small courtyard first," Li Mengxue didn't plan to do it herself. As she said before, when the self-employed business is liberalized, she can directly pay for security guards and cleaners to clean the courtyard. It will be more comfortable to move in then."

In the evening, Li Mengxue invited the two of them to a nearby restaurant for dinner before they parted. She went to live in the small courtyard where they had lived before. It was not far from Luoguxiang anyway and could be reached on foot.
