Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

It is estimated that his house will not be empty for long, as houses in Beijing are extremely tight right now.

In fact, if the Jia family was willing to spend money to rent it, there would still be hope, but that old woman always wanted to get it for free, so she wasted the opportunity.

As soon as Chen Xu left the street office, he met several people from the courtyard houses. Everyone actually knew what the others were there for.

Just because Chen Xu doesn't need that house doesn't mean others don't need it either.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see a whole family squeezed into one room in a courtyard house. Chen Xu and Jia Zhang made quite a noise just now, which made many people guess why Chen Xu came out, and many smart people followed him over.

However, you can’t rent a house whenever you want now. The street office needs to verify the specific situation before it can be rented out.

Whoever ends up buying the house is none of Chen Xu’s business.

He had no interest in this kind of house without a title deed.

When Chen Xu returned to the courtyard, he rarely saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door pretending to sew shoe soles. Instead, he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes with her big butt sticking out.

As if she noticed someone was looking at her, Qin Huairu raised her head and lifted her fallen hair.

When their eyes met, Qin Huairu's face turned red and she lowered her head, washing clothes helplessly.

Chen Xu: ...

This was so different from the white lotus in his memory.

With a sigh, Chen Xu walked directly to the backyard. The environment can really change a person easily. Who would have thought that the blood-sucking white lotus in the later period would now be like a little rabbit.

However, Chen Xu had no idea about this woman. Although she was pretty, that was all. Chen Xu could give her an eight, no more.

The past two years have been bad and everyone is hungry. How good can a beauty be if she is hungry every day? Her skin will definitely be rough.

It's just that this woman does have a good figure, which can be considered a natural gift. It's rare to see a woman who is almost 30 years old and has been starving for two years and still maintains a firm and unsagging figure.

Chen Xu had seen countless women in his previous life, although he had only seen them in small movies, but he could guess most of Qin Huairu's situation at a glance.

The only girl with more outstanding talent than this woman is Lin Chan. Chen Xu thinks her figure is totally unscientific.

So he planned to keep it with him and study it carefully in the future.

Well, the serious kind.

When Chen Xu returned home, he felt that his house was very empty.

His stuff would be a bit crowded in that small room, but putting it here would be like a thief breaking into the house, as there would be nothing at all.

"It seems that I need to prepare some furniture and change the bed. This small bed can't withstand the tossing and turning of Lin Chan and I in the future."

But there's no rush, just take your time and deal with it slowly.

Another advantage is that he doesn't have to take the coal stove outside to cook every day. Chen Xu is very satisfied with having a separate kitchen.

There are three rooms, one is used as the main room, one is used as a bedroom, and the remaining one can be used as a second bedroom or a storage room. As for the dining room, I'm sorry, most people eat in the main room now.

Chen Xu was very satisfied with his plan. A simple layout for an ordinary family would be fine, and it didn't need to be so alternative.

A study room or something like that? That's what an ordinary person like him should have.

night.

When Jia Dongxu returned home, he felt tired, especially mentally. Yi Zhonghai had been nice to him the whole day, and he didn't dare to mention the lack of food in front of his master again. Fortunately, it would be over in a few days, so he had to bear with it.

When he came back, he saw his mother with a gloomy face and a burst of resentment rushing towards Jia Dongxu.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

This question hit the nail on the head. Jia Zhang supported herself on the table with one hand and stood up her pig-like body, then started cursing.

"It's that little bastard Chen Xu from the backyard. He simply didn't take me, his elder, seriously and even dared to scare me. I will never let him go..."

Jia Dongxu inexplicably sensed a hint of cowardice from his mother's words.

First of all, the tone of my mother's curse words is usually a few degrees lower, as if she is afraid of being heard by someone.

"What happened?"

Jia Dongxu was a little confused. My mother and Chen Xu had nothing to do with each other, so how could there be a conflict?

Jia Zhang recounted the entire incident with some exaggeration.

But Jia Dongxu, who was used to my mother's talk, naturally filtered out my mother's irrelevant remarks and directly understood what happened.

So, he was a little speechless at this moment.

Compared with Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu's thinking is at least normal.

No one would agree to my request.

"Mom! Have you rented a house?"

"Why are you going? Renting a house is free. Why would you spend that much money?"

Jia Dongxu almost died of anger.

Who said that his family has no shortage of houses?

There were only two rooms in his house, one was used as the main room, and the other was partitioned off to be used as two small bedrooms. He, Qin Huairu and Xiaodang lived in one room, and Jia Zhang and Banggeng lived in the other. Banggeng was growing up, so how could they not be short of houses?

Jia Dongxu has wanted to rent a house for a long time, but there are no vacancies in the courtyard house. It just so happens that now there is such an opportunity. It doesn’t matter if I can’t get it for free, but at least I can rent it first. Renting a house is not expensive now.

Jia Dongxu didn't have the heart to argue with his mother and went straight out to the street office. It was already past the end of get off work time, but the street office usually closed late, so he hoped he could still make it in time.

ten minutes later.

Jia Dongxu went there with hope but returned disappointed.

Obviously, the street office had already closed at this time.

Jia Dongxu was sitting at the table sighing helplessly. He stared at the empty plate on the table in a daze, wondering whether he should go and have a look tomorrow.

"Dongxu, there's no food at home."

Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him, carefully held a steamed bun, broke it off bit by bit, mixed it with the soup and fed it to Xiaodang. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke carefully to Jia Dongxu.

As for the other things on the table, they had been eaten up by Jia Zhang and Bang Geng like a whirlwind, leaving nothing even for Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was used to this kind of thing. When there was food at home, she would still eat something. When there was no food, she would be the first to cut off the food.

"I see."

Jia Dongxu sighed. Although there were only a few days left in the month, he couldn't really go hungry for a few days. He could still eat in the factory cafeteria, but he had to endure the hardships at home. He had offended his master today, so it probably wouldn't be any use even if he went to find his master now.

After much deliberation, Jia Dongxu decided to take a risk and go to the black market himself.

I got up and went to the bedroom, looking at my mother who was sleeping soundly after eating.

"Mom, give me some money."

"No money, not a dime."

Jia Zhang started to act rogue.

No matter how much Jia Dongxu listened to his mother, he couldn't hold back now.

"Mom, do you want to starve until next month?"

"Forehead..."

Jia Zhang, who was pretending to be dead, opened her eyes, thought for a few seconds, and came up with another excuse.

"Didn't you say you would ask Yi Zhonghai for help?"

Jia Dongxu resisted the urge to curse.

"Mom, you spread the news that Master embezzled living expenses. Master already knows about it and now he ignores me."

"ha..."

Jia Zhang looked at her son with a gloomy face and felt a little panicked. She rarely saw Jia Dongxu like this.

"I, I am also doing this for the good of my family. If it's Yi Zhonghai's money..."

Jia Dongxu managed to suppress his anger and didn't want to listen to his mother's excuses.

"Mom, give me some money, I'll go check out the black market."

"it is good..."

Jia Zhang didn't dare to say anything more. Although she didn't have much brains, she wasn't completely stupid. Jia Dongxu was obviously on the verge of exploding.
