Jiang Shiyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing what Li Xiao said.
She knew she had to lie if she wanted to rent a house, but she didn't expect Li Xiao's lie to be so ridiculous.
Li Xiao told the landlord that her brother-in-law had been abducted by a vixen, and her sister had come to Huacheng with her three-year-old child to find a man, hoping that he would change his mind for the sake of the child.
Jiang Shiyue didn't like this character and asked Li Xiao: "I've been cheated on, why do I want to win back the heart of this scumbag?"
Li Xiao didn't understand the words "cheating" and "scumbag", but that didn't stop her from understanding the meaning of the sentence. She explained, "As the saying goes, it's better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage! If you run away from home with your child, the landlady won't take us in."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Feudal ideas are deadly.
***
The community where Li Xiao rents a house is right next to the university.
To be precise, it cannot be called a residential area, it is a family housing complex.
In the era when there were no commercial housing, buildings were distributed as welfare housing by work units.
Often, family quarters are built inside the work unit. If there is no space inside the work unit, they are built next to the work unit.
There is a family compound inside Jiang Shiyue’s college, and another one outside. There are bungalows inside and buildings outside.
The house Li Xiao rented belonged to the parents of a young female teacher.
Her parents went to the countryside in their early years and have not returned to the city yet.
Jiang Shiyue once asked Li Xiao, "If her parents come back, won't we end up living on the streets?"
In the past two years, young people who went to the countryside have returned one after another, and by next year, almost all those who should have returned will have returned.
Li Xiao shook his head. "I've asked this question before. The landlady only has her mother now, not her father. Her mother's health has been very poor over the years she's been in the countryside, and she'll be back this year. But even if she does come back, she'll either live with the landlady and her family or go to a nursing home. It's unlikely she'll live alone. That's why she wants to rent it out to supplement her household expenses before her employer takes it back. If anyone asks, just say she's a cousin from the countryside."
The house has two bedrooms and a living room. The layout is okay and it is open from north to south.
The only thing that Jiang Shiyue found difficult to accept was that the toilet was right next to the kitchen.
I don't know if this can be considered a regional difference between the north and the south.
In the north, the kitchen and the toilet are not thousands of miles apart, but they definitely cannot see each other.
In the south, going to the toilet often requires passing through the kitchen, as the two rooms are adjacent to each other.
Of course, not all rooms in the south are like this, but it appears more frequently in the houses Jiang Shiyue has seen.
There are two bedrooms, one large and one small, and both have good lighting.
Jiang Shiyue wanted to live with Yangyang and asked for a large bedroom.
This house is fully furnished and you can move in right away.
There is definitely no decoration style. It is just ordinary white walls with some old-fashioned furniture, which looks very old-fashioned. The wall paint has been in disrepair for a long time and is peeling and mottled.
The only bright spot is probably cleanliness.
It can be seen that the owner of the house once took great care of it.
After settling down, Jiang Shiyue took Yangyang and Li Xiaocai to buy some daily necessities.
It's only been a month since school started, and I've already spent four figures.
At night, Jiang Shiyue looked at the densely packed expense items in the account book and felt a little distressed. She murmured softly, "It's true that money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat!"
She had a total of 15,000 yuan before she came to Huacheng.
At that time, he took out 500 yuan to pay off Chen Shanhe's debt. After coming to Huacheng, he forced another 500 yuan on Chen Shanhe under the pretext of giving Yangyang pocket money, leaving only 14,000 yuan.
After arriving in Huacheng, I spent 237 yuan on the day I went shopping with Duan Kunze.
I rented two houses these days and paid one year's rent for each, spending a total of three hundred and fifty.
A bicycle was worth 150 yuan, and Mao Aping helped me buy it in exchange for the industrial coupons, which cost 100 yuan, for a total of 250 yuan.
The rest of the daily expenses for food, drink, and defecation, including taking Li Xiao and Yang Yang out to play these two days, cost about two hundred yuan.
I still have about three thousand in cash left.
I hope Dongsheng won’t let her work in vain.
She needs more money as start-up capital.
***
In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.
Jiang Shiyue once again asked Duan Kunze to borrow a car to go to Haicheng to find Chen Shanhe.
Jiang Shiyue finally knew the purpose of Chen Shanhe's visit to Haicheng this time.
It was all over the newspaper, on the front page, how could she not know?!
Foreigners drove aircraft carriers carrying various aircraft to the high seas near our waters to communicate with us.
It’s called communication, but once the plane takes off, it’s either life or death, you have to communicate with your life.
The arrival of an aircraft carrier is both a show of force and a threat.
The exchange ended yesterday, and our country's pilots defeated the other side by flying fighter jets of a model far inferior to that of the other country.
The other side had one dead and one injured, while we had two injured but no dead.
Chen Shanhe's name was mentioned in this news because he created a miracle.
He and his comrades collided with enemy planes while flying fighter planes to cover the strategic retreat of other fighter planes.
Both planes crashed into the sea at the same time, but in the end Chen Shanhe managed to land the plane safely.
It can't be considered safe. In the end, the plane was not saved, but the two pilots were injured, one seriously and the other slightly.
Just a few words describe Chen Shanhe's life-or-death experience.
When Jiang Shiyue saw the news, she was so anxious that she didn't even have time to attend classes. She asked for leave from her teacher and took Yangyang and Li Xiao to Haicheng.
Because time was too tight, she didn't tell Mao Aping and the others.
It was not yet lunch time when we arrived in Haicheng.
Haicheng’s military hospital is located in the city center and is considered the largest hospital in the entire Southern Theater Command.
It took Jiang Shiyue some time to find Chen Shanhe. When she found him, she saw him going through the discharge procedures.
Chen Shanhe, with gauze wrapped around his forehead and one arm in a sling, was wearing a loose hospital gown and urged the medical staff, "Please hurry up! It will be troublesome if my wife comes any later."
