This yard is indeed quite old. The adobe wall is already covered with cactus, and the long cactus with spikes hangs down, forming a natural anti-theft wall for the yard. The cactus is in flowering period, blooming light yellow The large, bright red flowers are very beautiful.

The steward opened the door and went in. The yard was bustling with activity. Someone’s chickens and ducks were leisurely pecking at the weeds and bugs in the mud. While doing embroidery work, a handsome and pleasant-looking little girl squatted on the ground to pick vegetables. Two stoves were built with adobe under the eaves, and a handsome man was cooking under the stoves.

In ancient times, there were also good men who were willing to cook for their wives?

Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Bai Chunsheng silently followed behind the steward, and after listening to him exchange a few words with the tenants in the yard, he saw the steward pointing to a room to the west.

"This is the one. Don't look at the house as it's older. It's much more cost-effective to use it for a temporary stay than to stay in an inn, and you can cook for yourself, which is more affordable than buying it outside!"

With that said, the steward took the key and opened the door for him. Bai Chunsheng went in and took a look, and found that the room was about [-] to [-] square meters in size, and it was very spacious. It's an exquisite single apartment, but it's still the one without shared housing, and the monthly rent is a solid two to three thousand yuan!

"Just this one! But boss, I really don't have a lot of money, can I pay one month's rent first?" Bai Chunsheng looked at the manager in embarrassment.

"Okay! As long as I do a good deed every day, you give me three hundred copper coins, two hundred is considered rent, and the remaining one hundred is bet on me. If I don't rent it next month, this one hundred can still be refunded to you. , but if you damage the doors and windows in this house, you will still have to deduct from the hundred miles."

Didn't expect a deposit to rent a house in ancient times?Bai Chunsheng finally realized the hardships of being a tenant, and heartbrokenly counted all the copper coins to the manager, but found that there was still more than 50 cash, so he had to feel out of the bag a piece of broken silver found at the bottom of the water, and the manager He shook it in his hand, and returned the scattered copper plates to him——

"I came out in a hurry. I didn't bring my money bag. I'm still short of more than 100 copper coins. Come back with me later, and I'll give you the rest."

I didn't expect such a small piece of broken silver to be so valuable!Bai Chunsheng's eyes lit up, and he decided to turn around and go to the water on the other side of the pier when no one was around. If he was lucky enough to get a few big coins, that time would be equivalent to ordinary people working for a year. The harvest is ah!

What Bai Chunsheng didn't expect was that even so, the person in charge took advantage of him. Generally, places where money is exchanged would weigh it with a small scale and then exchange it according to the ratio. The person in charge would obviously want to take advantage of it by weighing it casually. Meaning, but bullying Bai Chunsheng is a foreigner who has never seen the world.

Fortunately, the middleman in charge was doing long-term business, and he didn't make him suffer too much, but he just took advantage of dozens of copper coins.

What made Bai Chunsheng feel uncomfortable was that when he came back from the steward's house with the copper coins, he unexpectedly ran into that big man at the door who was collecting protection fees at the pier. The man was a little surprised when he saw him, but he quickly put it away. Surprised, he stared at him with wide eyes, "What are you looking at? Haven't seen a half-demon? Look at it again and gouged your eyes!"

Bai Chunsheng lowered his head and rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking what is a half-demon?Young master, I have seen shemale in my previous life!

However, isn't this person quite capable of stealing money?Why are you still living here?He just heard from the person in charge that most of the people around here are poor people renting houses and outsiders. When this person collects protection fees at the pier, he still seeks benefits from others. He can save a lot of money in a day. Bar?Earn so much money and still rent a house?It must be impossible to live!

When Bai Chunsheng was a charterer in his previous life, he didn't understand those young people who said they wanted to rent a house for the rest of their lives. Renting a house alone is of course no problem, but when it's time to get married, if you don't have a house or a car, you want your mother-in-law to marry your daughter to you?Go dreaming!

The reason why he told the manager to pay the rent once a month was that, apart from worrying that the money left after paying the rent would not be enough to live on, the bigger reason was that he wanted to use the money as capital to see if he could start a small business and save money. Put down the money so that you can buy yourself a house.There is no way, I am used to being a charter company, and I always feel uneasy living in other people's houses.

Back at the rented place, it was almost dusk, Bai Chunsheng saw that it was too late to buy something for cooking, so he simply closed the door, first went outside to buy two large pancakes similar to naan, and then went to the nearby shop to buy I bought bedding, face towels, washbasins, kettles, etc. I was not willing to buy cups, so I bought a few rough porcelain bowls, which can be used for eating and drinking. Anyway, he is alone, so he can make do with it .

It took three trips to move the things I bought back home like ants. I didn't find out until the bedding was laid out that Nima forgot to buy a bucket!

There is a well in the yard, but there is no faucet installed in the well. To draw water, a wooden bucket must be tied with hemp rope to draw water out of the well.

Looking at the empty "home", Bai Chunsheng wanted to cry immediately: Fortunately, he was stingy and didn't buy too expensive things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live on this day!I don't know who the previous tenant of this house was?When you move, you move it clean!Nima dare not even leave a single piece of firewood?

After thinking about it, Bai Chunsheng could only put down the kettle he bought, and cheekily knocked on the door of the tenant next door.

It was a half-grown boy who opened the door, looking at him sullenly: "What's the matter?"

"Um~ I'm the tenant next door who just moved in today. Well, I forgot to buy a water bucket. Can I borrow your water bucket?"

"Wait!" The boy turned and went into the house, and came out with a bucket and a hemp rope thick as a thumb in a short while, "There is no rope to draw water in the well."

"Thank you! I'll return it to you as soon as I use it up." Bai Chunsheng thanked gratefully. He really didn't expect to bring his own hemp rope to fetch water. Where is this?

However, it turns out that with a bucket and a hemp rope, it is not necessarily possible to bring water up from the well. Bai Chunsheng stood by the well and fiddled with it for a long time, and almost broke someone's wooden bucket. The water was pumped out of the well, but for some unknown reason, the wooden barrel floated on the surface of the water and refused to go down, dangling to and fro, only to hear the sound of the wooden barrel scraping against the masonry on the wall of the well.

Bai Chunsheng was so tired that he was sweating profusely, he just wanted to jump down and press down the wooden barrel!

"Let me come!" The young man did not know when he came to the well, probably because he couldn't stand it anymore, or because he was worried that Bai Chunsheng would break their wooden barrel, so he impatiently took it from Bai Chunsheng's hand. Pass the hemp rope, lift it up, put the bucket down suddenly, turn the wrist twice flexibly, use both arms to pull half the bucket of water up in twos and threes.

"Take it back and pour it into the water tank, let's do it again, this well is too small, you can only fill half a bucket at a time." The boy turned his head.

It was only then that Bai Chunsheng discovered that the young man was really good-looking, with a delicate and fair face, handsome eyebrows and fine eyes, and a high nose bridge. The only pity was that the good-looking eyebrows and eyes were covered under the long bangs. If it wasn't for Bai Chunsheng who happened to be squatting I watched how he fetched water there, and I really didn't realize that the boy's brows and eyes hidden under the bangs are so handsome. In their era, if you put a few photos on the Internet, a bunch of girls will shout "beautiful boy" "of.

Hearing what the boy said, Bai Chunsheng suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have bought a water tank, and was speechless.

Frankly speaking, in his previous life, Bai Chunsheng claimed to be a good man who could live a good life. His family was not like those upstarts in the demolition of villages in the city. Although the family did not lose money to him materially, they were still very strict with him. Bai Chunsheng can wash clothes and cook at a very young age. Every spring, he has to accompany his mother to dig wild vegetables in the wild. During the autumn harvest, he also goes back to his hometown with his grandmother to dig potatoes and pick mushrooms. His mother taught him how to collect rent and manage the family. The person's living expenses were spent, and after graduating from university, he even let him move out. The reason was that he played games at home and occupied the network cable, which affected the speed of her old man's online shopping...

However, when he really arrived in this strange world, Bai Chunsheng discovered that the life skills he had accumulated in his previous life were really useless here. Who in the modern society would buy a water tank for storing water!

Seeing Bai Chunsheng's stupefied and stupid expression, the young man was also a little helpless.

"Is there a wooden basin?"

"Yes, yes!" Bai Chunsheng nodded hastily.

"Let's put it in a wooden basin for you to make do for the night. Remember to buy water jars and buckets when it dawns tomorrow."

The young man probably thought he was a demon from other places, his pretty lips curled up slightly: "Don't forget to buy a gourd ladle for scooping water."

Bai Chunsheng: "..."

The young man looked indifferent, but he was actually a warm-hearted person. After helping him carry the water bucket into the house, he saw him coming to pick up the water with a newly bought wooden basin, and there was another burst of black lines.

"You can't do this. The new wooden basin needs to be soaked in warm water, and then scalded with boiling water before it can be used. Look at the wood debris under the bottom. Do you want to drink it into your stomach?"

Bai Chunsheng: "..."

In the end, Bai Chunsheng asked the boy to help pour the water into the new wooden basin, but he washed the newly bought stoneware bowls with water, and used the clean bowls to store some well water for drinking at night. Now there is no firewood at home. No, and it's not good for him to keep bothering other young boys to fetch water for washing basins for him, right?

"Well, I just bought this cake this afternoon. If you don't mind, why don't you try one?" Bai Chunsheng habitually took out a cake and handed it to the young man. His grandma and his mother had taught him in his previous life. For you, you must remember the goodness of others, don't always say "thank you" in empty words, because after a long time, "thank you" will be worthless.

"Thank you!" The boy looked up at him, took the pancake with his hand, and left with the barrel and hemp rope in his other hand.

After a while, when Bai Chunsheng was wiping the bed board with water from the tub, two hesitant knocks on the door came.Bai Chunsheng ran over to open the door, and it was the young man standing at the door.
