The next day, Wang Li came out of the space and went directly to another small courtyard left by Old Man Xie. There were bungalows here and ordinary people lived in them. There were people selling fried dough sticks, millets, and furniture on the street. It was quite lively.
Wang Li was then led to the gate of No. 32. The door was locked and it was not easy to open it.
After pushing open the door, I saw that the yard was not big. There was a faucet in the yard. The main entrance led to the dining room, and on the left was the kitchen. There was a window facing outside in the kitchen. There was a bedroom in front of the dining room, and two secondary bedrooms next to it, a washroom next to it, and a utility room on the side.
It’s enough for me to live in. My bedroom is quite big. I can build a study room and a toilet there. I’m not used to sharing a room with others.
Seeing a neighbor outside, Wang Li said, "Sister, can I ask if there is a house repairman around here?
A fat lady asked, "Did you move here? Is this your house, or are you renting it? Just call me Sister Cui. Go ask Wu Meili at the barber shop in front of the alley. Her brother is a house repairman.
………………
(Friends, let me make it clear here that I don’t speak Shanghainese, let’s just speak Mandarin, thank you for your understanding)
Wang Li said: "Thank you, Sister Cui."
When she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw a barber shop with three big characters "武三㥕" written on the doorplate. Wang Li thought that the name of the shop was really unique.
He walked into the store and a woman in her thirties came over.
She said, "Ma'am, are you going to cut your hair or perm it?"
Wang Li said, "You, I heard from Sister Cui in the alley ahead that your brother can repair the house."
"Um, it's about repairing the house. My brother will be back at noon. I'll let him talk to you. I don't really understand! The woman in the barber shop asked again: What's your home address?"
Wang Li said: "You better ask him to come as early as possible, because I have other things to do. My house is right in front, number 32."
"That house? No one has lived in that house for a long time. Did you rent it or buy it? I want to buy it for my brother, but I can't find the landlord."
Wang Li was confused. Why did this guy talk so much?
I just said, "That's my house. I'll live somewhere else soon. I'm going back to that elder sister. When your brother comes back, come to my place to discuss the price and time. I'm done."
Without waiting for the woman to reply, Wang Li ran away. Why did this person talk so much?
Wang Li returned to the small courtyard, locked the door and entered the space. She wanted to eat something first. She didn't know what happened to those people. She had to quickly decide on the decoration of the house here.
Wang Li wanted to leave some food for them when she returned today, and she had to transfer the bath center to Zheng Youdao, and leave a letter for Liu Juntao, asking him to tell Wang Hao how to find her when he returned, and to return the things he left here. Wang Li didn't like to take advantage of others.
After eating and resting for a while, I heard someone knocking on the door. When I came out of the space and opened the door, I saw a bearded man who asked me who I was looking for.
The man stepped back, looked at the house number, and said, "Isn't your house going to be renovated?"
Wang Li said: "Oh, I don't mean it, it's my house, come in."
The man came in and sat down and asked, "Where are you going to repair?"
Wang Li thought that he was a capable person, but at this age, he looked much older than his sister.
I quickly said, "I want to separate a small study room from the bedroom and use it as a bathroom."
Wang Li saw the man frowning and said, "Uh, it's the toilet."
