Lin Xianxian was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, just show me the way. There is no need to delay your business."

The aunt was carrying the vegetables and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have to go back and cook lunch after ordering this, no delay!"

The aunt looked very kind, her eyes were glued to Lin Xianxian, this girl is so handsome!

Lin Xianxian was embarrassed and lowered her head. Only then did the aunt look away.

Some memories from past lives came to mind. Although this area is now shabby and no one cares about it, within ten years high-rise buildings will be built around it and it will become the economic and cultural center of Zhi'an County.

And the housing prices in this area will also go up, and land will become a valuable land, which will be expropriated by the government at a high price, and the people in this area will become the first batch of nouveau riche to be demolished.

Lin Xianxian couldn't help but think that it would be great if she had a house like this, but if she had the chance, she could buy one for seventy or eighty.

The two of them walked for about ten minutes, and within a few steps of turning into Fuxing Hutong, they knocked on the door and said in a loud voice: "Jinhua, are you there? There is someone renting a house!"

"I'm coming!"

At this time, an unkempt woman with a sallow face came out, followed by a lame child.

The aunt nudged Nu Lin Xianxian's direction with her mouth, "No, it's her who wants to rent your house. I'll bring her to you!"

Lin Xianxian introduced herself openly, "My name is Lin Xianxian, and I want to rent a house."

The woman was obviously very excited, "Okay, let's drink a glass of water first!"

While the woman was turning around to bring tea and water, the aunt whispered in Lin Xianxian's ear: "This woman is a hard-working woman. Her husband died and she raised two children by herself. She is a good person and is a good companion." of."

The aunt's eyes are very rich, and it says all over her face that you will not lose money if you rent her house.

Lin Xianxian nodded, but felt that the words sounded familiar.

"Sister Jin, you guys have a good chat, I'm going back to cook!"

"Aunt Wang, don't you sit down for a while and drink some water?"

The aunt waved her hand, "No!"

Lin Xianxian took the water glass and took a sip before putting it down, "Auntie, let's take a look at the house!"

"Okay, I'll bring you!"

The woman led Lin Xianxian to the east end, took out the key and turned the lock. "The previous family just moved out yesterday. I have already cleaned it. Are you satisfied with it?"

Lin Xianxian glanced around. The room was very clean. The old furniture was also old, but it was still relatively tidy. It could be seen that the woman was very diligent.

"Auntie, how much does this house cost per month?"

The woman named Jinhua was a little nervous, "It was originally ten yuan, but if you want to stay, I'll give you eight yuan."

"Just ten dollars."

The clothes on the woman's body were washed white, and the cuffs were frayed. For Lin Xianxian, two yuan could be earned by buying three portions of lotus leaf rice, but for the woman, this might be a few days of food expenses. .

"But I don't know how long I can stay here. If I leave, you can't embarrass me!"

One code is the same, and what needs to be said must be said clearly.

The woman thought for a while and nodded. It was rare to meet such a cheerful tenant, "Sure, but you have to pay one month's deposit and three months' rent. If you check out, I will pay it back to you!"

Lin Xianxian nodded and took out forty yuan in one breath.

The woman took the money and went to write a receipt, and Lin Xianxian followed her footsteps.

The room the woman lived in was very cramped, and the small space was filled to the brim with cardboard boxes. Paper boxes and unglued boxes were everywhere, making it difficult to turn around.

Jinhua handed the handwritten receipt and key to Lin Xianxian, smiling sheepishly, "I'm so sorry, I don't even have a place to go."

Lin Xianxian smiled and said, "Aunt Jinhua, I'll leave first."

"Yeah, let's go slowly!"

As soon as he walked out of the door, there was a burst of excitement behind him.

"Mom, that sister just now was so beautiful!"

"The sister just now is our new tenant. Now that mom has money, can I sell you meat?"

"Okay, I want to eat with my sister!"

"My son is so good. Mom will buy two kilograms of meat and you and your sister will eat it to your heart's content tonight!"

"Mom, that's great, you're so kind!"

……

Lin Xianxian's mood was also somewhat affected by the mother and son. The corners of her mouth raised and she couldn't help humming a song.

She went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative. She planned to buy some daily necessities, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and bed sheets and quilts. She needed to buy them everywhere.

In addition to these, she also bought a washbasin and clothes rack, bought two large meat buns, and carried a lot of things back to the rental house.

Aunt Wang, who was feeding the chickens next door, saw Lin Xianxian's attitude and knew that Lin Xianxian had indeed rented Jinhua's house. She couldn't help but say hello, "Little girl, you bought so many things? Do you need my help?"

Lin Xianxian smiled and said: "No need, aunt."

"See you!"

Aunt Wang nodded.

There was no one in the yard. Jinhua probably took her son to buy meat.

Lin Xianxian put away the things and made the bed so that she could sleep.

She opened the paper bag. She was so hungry that she was full in just three or two mouthfuls.

Jinhua was very attentive. As soon as Lin Xianxian left, she gave her a pot of warm tea, and Lin Xianxian drank it.

After eating and drinking enough, Lin Xianxian rarely took a nap.

It was past four o'clock when she woke up. She first went to the transportation company to find Sun Qianjin and asked him to tell her family that she had rented a house outside and would not be going back tonight.

It was already past five o'clock when she walked out of the transportation company. She went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner and ordered a plate of stir-fried vegetables and yuba, which tasted just like that.

After eating, it was almost six o'clock, and she walked to the address given by the director of the steel factory. Before setting off, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of canned food and a bag of apples.

After passing through the narrow alley, Lin Xianxian stopped at the destination for a while. The environment here was dirty and poor. There were children playing around, shirtless middle-aged men, unkempt women and old people in wheelchairs everywhere. Thrown away Chinese medicine can be seen everywhere.

The sounds of couples quarreling, children crying, and old people coughing can be heard all the time. It's like a living picture of a city.

Lin Xianxian tried her best to exhale, climbed to the second floor, and knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it?"

A little boy of eleven or twelve years old opened the door and saw a strange woman. He rolled his dark eyes and said nothing.

"Kid, is your mother here?"

The little boy shouted toward the inside: "Mom, I'm looking for you!"

Lin Xianxian followed him through the door. When Tong Zhaodi saw it was Lin Xianxian, she was surprised, ashamed and annoyed, "What are you doing here? Go away quickly, you are not welcome in my home!"

Tong Zhaodi pointed at the door rudely. This woman had robbed her of her own way of life, and she actually dared to come to her door?

It’s simply asking for humiliation!

Lin Xianxian quickly explained, "Sister, I am indeed unreasonable in this matter. I came here to apologize to you."

"Don't worry, we will never stand in front of the factory to steal your business tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Tong Zhaodi glanced at her suspiciously, "Are you serious that you don't want to show off anymore?"
