Chapter 135
Kong Yue seemed to have figured something out, and he resisted the urge to turn back.
Seeing his expression, Grandpa Sun thought he didn't believe it, so he said earnestly, "Young people lack experience, so don't take it lightly. If you really get cheated, it will be too late to regret, and you will be hurt emotionally."
Kong Yue said in a low and difficult voice, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
He suddenly wasn't sure what Lu Qin had said to him, as they were talking about psychological trauma.
Grandpa Sun nodded. "That's right, but don't scold him. Young people need to be taught well in order to learn."
Kong Yue said reluctantly, "Yes, you're right."
Although Grandpa Sun was old, his legs moved very quickly, probably because he walked frequently. The two of them were in front, more than fifty meters away from the people behind them.
Seeing that the young man in front of him was also listening, Grandpa Sun felt relieved and muttered a few more words with his hands behind his back.
Lu Qin and the others in the back were also chatting with the others nearby. Lu Qin was mainly pushing his aunt to get acquainted with the older women sooner rather than later, as she would be bored being left alone here when all the children, young and old, were in school.
Lu Qin's eyelids twitched. He looked ahead and then turned back to join in the conversation.
As Sun Laimei chatted, she found that the people here were different from those she met on the road, so she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with them, and they became familiar with each other.
Grandpa Sun’s house is close to the main road, and the primary school is a ten-minute walk down the road.
What’s even more satisfying is that his house is a separate courtyard.
As soon as you open the door, you can see how much the owner takes care of the house. There are four houses in a row on the front. Although no one lives in it, the courtyard is clean and there are no weeds. There are a few unknown flowers crawling at the corners of the wall.
What’s even more satisfying is that there is a well in the middle of the yard.
The elderly ladies who were traveling with him were all surprised. "Old man Sun, you hire someone to clean the place every day. This place is so clean."
Grandpa Sun raised his eyelids and said, "I love cleanliness. I don't clean every day, but once a week."
Anyone who can think can hear his hint, which is to be clean.
Lu Qin could tell from their expressions that they were satisfied with the yard, so he had to seize the opportunity. After all, he had finally found a house, and if he didn't settle down, he would have to go to school. And don't say it, the old man was very cute.
Lu Qin lifted his foot and rubbed it on the ground. "I'm afraid my shoes will make the yard dirty. Uncle Sun, my aunt also likes cleanliness. Her last name is also Sun. I even wonder if everyone with this last name likes cleanliness."
Kong Yue turned his head and closed his eyes, pretending that he couldn't hear.
Grandpa Sun only then noticed Sun Laimei. When he heard that they had the same last name, he immediately took a liking to her. "Big sister, your last name is Sun too."
Sun Laimei was not prepared at all and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, my last name is Sun too. Don't worry, I love cleanliness. Since you are young and working hard outside, we have to take good care of the family."
Seeing her naturally awkward reaction, the old man was also easy to talk to. Looking at her clothes, there was a not-so-obvious pudding on her knee, but it was clean. Looking at the young one's fair and tender skin, this family knew how to clean up. Grandpa Sun's worries were almost gone.
After ten minutes, let them walk around in a circle.
Grandpa Sun asked for their opinions, "What do you think?"
"Thank you, sir. This is your yard." Lu Qin gave a thumbs-up. "And it's much better than what I first saw."
This brought back memories for Grandpa Sun. He remembered that he had promised him a lower price in the morning. He began to think about it and lowered his expected price a little bit.
Now Lu Qin had nothing to do, so he signaled his brother-in-law to go up and negotiate the price.
Kong Yue glanced at Lu Qin and said, "Sir, just name a price. We want to rent it."
It's a pleasant surprise to be able to rent a house that meets my expectations. If I decide on one, I can move in today.
"Okay, I'll tell you about the housing prices nearby first, and then you can consider whether mine is reasonable."
The ladies who had come with them were not comfortable listening to this talk, so they all said goodbye and made an appointment with Sun Laimei to see her next time. Sun Laimei couldn't help but smile and readily agreed to their invitation.
Lu Qin sent them to the door. Seeing their figures slowly disappear at the end of the intersection, he sighed.
Turning around, Qin Shi and Kong Dongdong were secretly playing the game of "you clap, I clap".
As soon as Kong Dongdong clapped his hands, Qin Shi's eyes turned and she directly held his hands, making him smile with his little belly sticking out.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Qin Shi reached out and pinched his cheek, "You're becoming more and more alike."
"elder sister."
"Um."
He heard them whispering, and saw his sister and brother-in-law negotiating the price with Uncle Sun.
Lu Qin surveyed the yard. A closer look revealed a layout quite similar to the brigade's. He peered over the walls on either side, seeing that the nearby houses were still some distance away. He cleared his mind; today was a good start.
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Excuse me, sir. We can pay the money now."
"No need to be so anxious." Grandpa Sun was surprised.
Lu Chunnong explained carefully, "If you pay the money in one hand, we will feel at ease too."
When Grandpa Sun looked up, he realized that the girl looked quite similar to Comrade Xiao Lu, especially her eyes. He smiled and said, "Okay."
"By the way, the water in the well in the yard hasn't been used for a long time. It will probably have a smell if you drink it for a while. You should lift up a few buckets of water and pour them out before replacing it." He turned around and pointed at the well to remind them.
He comes here every week and at most does a simple clean of the yard, but he doesn't do any more detailed work.
Kong Yue followed the direction he pointed and saw his worried look again. He wondered how this kid could be so lucky to meet such a kind person.
He agreed, "Okay, I'll do it later."
"There's only a simple table and three beds in there, no extra ones. Just wait and see when you can add more." He gave them a heads-up to prevent them from getting unhappy. After all, an old friend of his had a tenant who had a quarrel over furniture before.
But how could the Kong family be so unreasonable? "Okay, thank you for your reminder."
Finally, Grandpa Sun pointed at everything around him and talked about it before taking out the key from his pocket. "It's up to you whether to change the lock or not, but my suggestion is to change it to avoid trouble later."
"We definitely believe you."
Grandpa Sun waved his hands and said it wasn't a matter of belief or not, "You guys hurry up and pack up, I'm leaving first."
Sun Laimei made way for me and said, "Big brother, if you are free next time, please come over and visit me."
"No need to send me off. Comrade Lu, you need to learn more from your brother-in-law in the future." Grandpa Sun instructed Lu Qin as he passed by him.
Lu Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at his brother-in-law, and agreed with a smile, "Okay, I will learn. Uncle, come over and visit me when you are free."
Grandpa Sun nodded, put his hands behind his back and walked away leisurely.
Sun Laimei turned around and looked around the yard. "It's all thanks to Lu Qin. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to rent such a nice house. This big brother is also very warm-hearted and kind. It's hard to find such a kind person."
Lu Qin spoke frankly in broad daylight, "It's because we have good character that the people we meet are good."
Sun Laimei thought it made sense the moment she heard it, but it wasn't the right way to put it, and she didn't know how to refute it.
Lu Chunnong estimated the time and said, "Let's move the luggage here first and try to move in tonight."
"Then leave a few people to clean and a few to carry the luggage."
Finally, Lu Qin and Kong Yue went back to move the luggage. Qin Shi wanted to go too, but Lu Qin stopped her, "Comrade Qin, you don't have to go again. I can do it."
