Chapter 15 Buy a good yard facing north and south
Looking at his obedient and well-behaved granddaughter, Grandpa Qi was so moved that his eyes turned red and his voice was a little choked.
"Okay! Grandpa will keep it for you. When you need it, just tell me."
Anyway, he is an old man and can't spend much money.
The light in the house is very dim and a little damp, and the air smells like decay. Elderly people who live in such a place for a long time are prone to rheumatism, and it is also bad for their health.
"Grandpa, I'm going to ask the village chief to buy a better yard. Your health is not good, the room is damp, and the house is also showing signs of collapse. You can't live here any longer."
Qi Man looked up at the bent tree trunk and couldn't help but speak.
Eat well, live well. In short, you have a chance to live this life again, so you must not treat yourself badly.
Old Master Qi looked up and found that the rotten wood had begun to bend. It would probably collapse in a while.
"I can sleep outside. I can just use a small bed in the living room. I don't need to buy one. It's too expensive."
His granddaughter must live well, no matter where he lives.
Qi Man pretended to be angry, put her hands on her hips and accused.
"How can that be possible? Grandpa, you have to listen to me on this matter."
Seeing his granddaughter looking angry, Grandpa Qi sighed helplessly and could only spoil her.
"Okay! Then listen to Manman."
The only thing he can do now is to let Manman grow up happily, and witness Manman getting married and having children with his own eyes. Then, in the afterlife, he will be able to give an explanation to his eldest brother and daughter-in-law.
The next day, the sky was getting slightly brighter.
The new revolutionary music came out from the tattered loudspeaker in Qingyun Village. The villagers went to the village secretary to receive their tasks and went to work.
Qi Man slept until she woke up naturally and slept until half past seven.
He quickly got up from the bed and took out some high-quality millet and some lean meat, followed by some soup dumplings with a lot of fillings, and four raw eggs.
Tear the soup dumplings into pieces and put them into the pot to steam them, and put the eggs in the water, killing two birds with one stone, and then cook the millet into millet porridge.
Taking advantage of this time, I cleaned the yard, helped Mr. Qi wash up, and then brought breakfast into his room.
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, Mr. Qi felt a little distressed.
If this thing were to enter Manman's mouth, he wouldn't even blink, but he is an old man and it would be a waste no matter how good the food is.
But seeing that his granddaughter had a faint smile on her face and was in a good mood, Grandpa Qi didn't say anything.
After feeding grandpa, he watched him finish eating the small repair pill, and then he started to fill his own stomach.
After eating and drinking, they threw the dirty clothes into the fully automatic washing machine in the space and washed them separately for both of them.
All of this can be blamed on the sign-in system. The items signed in by the sign-in system are random. In the previous life, I drew a fully functional luxurious villa with all kinds of electrical appliances.
Qi Man walked out of the door and headed straight towards the village chief's house.
In the fields, the villagers were working under the scorching sun, holding hoes, sickles, and other crops in their hands. Some were turning the soil, some were weeding. They were busy and sweating profusely from the heat.
The only exception is Qi Man. As the orphan of a martyr, Qi Man does not need to go to work and is quite comfortable.
Today, Qi Man was wearing a white floral dress, a pair of small leather boots, two lazy braids on her head, a white hat with a small pink flower on it, and a bamboo basket covered with a pink cloth in her hand, with a small off-white leather bag on the side. She looked youthful and lively, in sharp contrast to the villagers who were dressed simply and soaked in sweat.
Some people envy and some people are jealous of Qi Man's appearance.
Many girls of the same age envy Qi Man. Not only does Qi Man have a variety of little dresses, but she has also received higher education. It is said that she graduated from a nationally famous university.
You don’t have to be bound by your family, you can do whatever you want and follow your own preferences.
But some people were jealous of Qi Man. She dressed so seductively and came to the fields to hook up with men. She must be so loveless. She was indeed a vixen.
Qi Man didn't care about their expressions at all and went straight to the village chief's house.
The village chief’s house was the only red brick house in the village, and Qi Man knocked on the door.
"Enter."
A deep voice came from inside.
Qi Man walked in. The village chief Bai Jiachun, wearing a white vest, was sitting in the yard, sharpening a knife, and shouted.
"village head."
"Hey, Manman is here? Come and sit down."
As soon as Bai Jiachun looked up, he saw Qi Man standing at the door. He immediately put down the knife in his hand, stood up to entertain Qi Man, and poured her a glass of water in a big red plastic cup.
Qi Man handed the bamboo basket to Bai Jiachun.
"Village Chief, I have something to ask of you today."
You need to give gifts when asking for help.
Hearing Qi Man asking for something, the village chief swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth. He took the bamboo basket handed to him by Qi Man, opened a corner, and saw only a piece of pork belly with fat and meat. He couldn't see the rest clearly.
This little girl is really generous. She gave me pork belly right away, and it was such a big piece.
So sensible!
After receiving the gift, Bai Jiachun's tone became much more enthusiastic.
"What can I do for you? Just ask me."
For the sake of the pork belly, I have to help even if I can't.
Qi Man smiled softly and went straight to the point.
"My grandfather is in poor health. His room is small, dark, and damp. When it's cold, his rheumatism will flare up. So I came here today to find the village chief to buy a yard. It's best if it faces north and south and is relatively quiet. Money is not a problem."
"You want to change houses, right? I'll be honest with you... what!?"
When Bai Jiachun heard that Qi Man wanted to change houses, he looked embarrassed. Later he realized that Qi Man wanted to buy a house. He lost control of himself for a moment and his tone became a little sharp. He pretended to be calm, lit a cigarette and took a puff. Then he felt relieved and spoke calmly.
"Manman, buying a house is not a small matter. A good house with a yard costs about two hundred dollars. It's better for you to rent it than to buy it. If you rent it, it's two dollars and fifty cents a month."
To be honest, he was the village chief and had only just finished building a red brick house last month. He didn't even have a hundred yuan in his pocket, let alone a young man like Qi Man.
Qi Man took out a stack of big unity coins from her small leather bag.
Bai Jiachun was stunned and almost dropped the cigarette in his hand out of shock. There was about a thousand yuan here.
How come this little girl is richer than him?
It was only later that I realized that Qi Man was a returnee from overseas, and that foreign money was different from their Chinese money.
I heard that money abroad is more expensive, and one Yuan can be exchanged for several Great Unity notes.
Thinking of this, I felt a little comforted.
Qi Man counted out twenty Great Unity cards and pushed them in front of Bai Jiachun, then drew out one more and handed it to Bai Jiachun, saying with a smile.
