Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Regarding the question of what to eat at night, except for Xiaoshu who had no opinion, the other children all had different opinions.

Zhao Xuewen wanted to eat steamed buns, Xiao Shitou wanted to eat flatbread and stewed meat, Ya Ya wanted to eat dumplings, and even the youngest Miao Miao wanted to eat sugar and fire.

In the end, in order to take care of everyone's requests, Lu Aiguo decided to eat noodles at night.

Seeing that several children didn't get what they wanted to eat and their moods suddenly became depressed, Song Xiuxiu opened her mouth to comfort them.

"Let's go eat fried noodles. The capital's fried noodles are very famous."

Upon hearing this, several children finally became interested.

Lu Aiguo took them to an inconspicuous noodle shop.

This was a small shop he frequented in his previous life. Although it was only a small shop run by his own family, his fried noodles were very authentic.

The store is small, only one room in size, with four tables on both sides and a kitchen separated from the back.

The current boss and his wife are still very young, only in their 20s, unlike the previous life when Lu Aiguo met them, they were already middle-aged.

Since it was not time for dinner yet, the store was quiet and there were no customers. Lu Aiguo and his family sat down and ordered three large bowls and four small bowls of fried noodles.

Lu Aiguo liked to come to their house in his last life. In addition to the delicious food, another reason was that their food was plentiful.

Unlike some later noodle restaurants, the sea bowl was bigger than your face but contained a mouthful of noodles, specifically designed to trick out-of-town tourists.

The noodles came out quickly. The full bowl of noodles was also topped with two spoons of oily fried sauce with diced pork. There were peas, cucumber shreds, lentil shreds, leek segments and other vegetables on top. It looked very delicious. Have appetite.

Several children moved their index fingers and had no time to speak except to keep nodding to express that it was delicious.

After dinner, the family walked towards the guest house while walking to eat.

The capital is really prosperous, much more prosperous than Jiang City. Although it is getting dark now, the streets are still lively.

Especially in the past two years, the market has been liberalized, and there have been many more street stalls. The brightly lit stalls suddenly lit up the night.

Along the way, Yaya couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, the capital is better!"

Song Xiuxiu held her shoulders and asked softly: "Which one is better, the capital or the compound?"

Yaya thought for a while and said, "It's all good, the capital is prosperous, and there are my friends and our home in the compound!"

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu said with a smile: "From now on, our home will be in the capital, okay!"

Yaya nodded: "Okay, but I also miss the courtyard, Huahua, Sister Cuicui, and Aunt Guilan."

Song Xiuxiu: "Mom and dad will take you back to see them when you have time!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shitou said excitedly: "Really! It would be great if I could go back. I miss the aunts and children in the nursery!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoshu's voice came faintly.

"They probably won't miss you!"

"Second brother!"

Then Xiao Shitou would go over and teach Xiao Shu a lesson.

Xiaoshu avoided him with a strong body, but Xiaoshitou was so angry that he chased after him. Xiaoshu made a provocative face at him, and Xiaoshitou rushed towards him in a hurry, but he missed again.

Seeing this situation caused the whole family to laugh...

Since I had to go to see a house tomorrow, I didn't dare to delay the evening, and the family went to bed very early.

After breakfast the next day, the family came to the housing management office.

The staff who received them yesterday saw that the family had arrived so early and did not delay. After talking to their colleagues, they took the information and went out with them.

Song Xiuxiu was not satisfied with any of the three places she visited all morning.

There is one place in a large courtyard, which is not only crowded but also mixed. It is no different from the one in Tongzilou.

The other place is a single-family house, but the house is relatively dilapidated and it is too troublesome to clean up.

The last place is a small yard in the suburbs. I am satisfied with the house, but the location is too remote.

It was okay for Lu Aiguo to have a special car to pick him up, but it was inconvenient for several children to go to school.

Zhao Xuewen was in middle school, Yaya was in elementary school, Xiaoshu and Xiaoshitou were in kindergarten, and Song Xiuxiu couldn't pick them up at the same time.

Seeing that none of the three families were satisfied with each other, the staff of the housing management office spoke up.

"Actually, there is another one that meets your requirements, but the landlord of that one is not easy to get along with, so I don't dare to take you there."

Song Xiuxiu asked curiously: "Is the landlord very powerful?"

In Song Xiuxiu's impression, someone who was difficult to get along with would be someone who was vicious, or someone who was as unreasonable and unreasonable as Mother Lu.

The staff member shook his head, and then said: "The landlord is not great, she is just an ordinary old lady. She is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. She is quite well-educated, but..."

"She wants to choose her own tenants, and she won't rent if she doesn't like them. This house has been registered with us for two years, and it hasn't been rented out even once."

Song Xiuxiu: "Then what does she want from the tenants?"

Staff: “We don’t know, and she didn’t tell us.”

"Some young people from out of town came to rent a house before, and the rent was 50 yuan a month. But the old lady refused without even raising her eyebrows."

"Later, a couple brought an old man to rent a house. I thought the old people could keep each other company, but the old lady still didn't agree."

"I went to several more places like this one after another, but none of them met the old lady's requirements, so I didn't dare to take you there, for fear that it would be another trip in vain."

Song Xiuxiu: "She has such high requirements, isn't it because her house is so good?"

As soon as the house was mentioned, the staff immediately became interested.

"Her house is a serious courtyard with three entrances. The front porch and the back building are very elegant."

"I heard that this old lady's family used to be a royal family. Later, the feudal dynasty fell, and their family also declined. In the end, the old lady was left alone to guard the house."

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu probably understood why it was difficult to find tenants in this house.

The old lady is a university professor and is alone. She must have plenty of money, so she is not looking for a tenant, but someone who can keep her company.

Although Song Xiuxiu didn't want to get into other people's lives, she couldn't help but be intrigued by the staff's description of the house.

"Take us to see it. Even if the old lady doesn't agree, we still have to see the world and see what this wealthy family's house is like!"

"Okay, let's go right now!" The staff readily agreed.

The location of that house is also very good. It is in Huaihua Hutong, only five or six stops away from Tiananmen Gate.

There are complete kindergartens, primary and secondary schools here, and it's not too far from the cannery where Lu Aiguo works.

This is what Song Xiuxiu thinks is the best location.

"The people who lived here were either royal relatives or high-ranking officials, so the houses were basically courtyards with three entrances."

"But now many of them have become large courtyards, and few can survive."

"I heard that Professor Jin almost lost his life in order to protect this house."

The staff introduced while leading Song Xiuxiu and others into the alley.

Just as he was talking, the staff stopped in front of a door.
