Going through the book and raising younger siblings

Chapter 18 Rent
18. Rent
At this time, I heard Xiaobao calling them outside the woods.

"Elder Sister, Sister Yingzi, are you all right?"

"Let's go! They're calling us!"

The two walked out of the woods, and they were already sitting in the car waiting for the two of them.

When they arrived in Nanshi, the car drove directly to the house that Zhao Chunhua rented for them.

This is a single-family house with red bricks and blue tiles. It covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. It has four rooms, three main rooms, and an east wing. Opposite the east wing is a kitchen and a storage room on the left side of the entrance. It is a bathroom, and there is a yard in the middle, and there is a pomegranate tree in the yard.There is a stone table and four stone benches under the pomegranate tree. The yard is paved with stones and the house is made of concrete.

It is also a house with a yard. This house is much more comfortable than the houses in Dongyang Village.

Zhang Yu immediately fell in love with this house.

She was tired of living in high-rise buildings before, and she longed for such a spacious house with a yard, which was comfortable and down-to-earth, but now Zhao Chunhua rented such a house for them, and it was next to the school, so that it would be in later generations. His house is in high demand, and the price is ridiculously high. Zhao Chunhua's work is quite reliable.

Seeing Zhang Yu looking excitedly from room to room, Zhao Chunhua's eyes shone with joy.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this house?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, very much to my heart."

Zhao Chunhua stared at Zhang Yu.

"I heard that you haven't graduated from primary school yet?"

"Yeah! Almost illiterate."

"But from what you've said, it doesn't look like it at all."

Zhang Yu was taken aback: "Why doesn't it look like this?"

"When you speak, your accent is a bit different from that of people in Dongyang Village. Besides, would a rural girl who didn't even graduate from elementary school say something that touched my heart?"

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

On weekdays, she is afraid that her words will be too different from others, so she tries to speak as little as possible, that is to say, she also imitates the accent of Er Niu and the others, including the words, and tries to be as local as possible, but occasionally, she will inadvertently say something that does not match her identity. For example, just now, because she was too happy, she got carried away and said something Zhang Da Niu would never say, which aroused Zhao Chunhua's suspicion.

Zhang Yu explained: "Who said that if you have not graduated from elementary school, you can't say something like "I love you very much"? Could it be that you can't read books if you have not graduated from elementary school? This is after I read a novel. One sentence, especially able to express my mood at this moment, I took it out and said it, can't I?"

"Okay, who said it won't work, but I'm curious, what book are you reading?"

"I forgot the title of the book. It's a book about ancient love stories. It was lent to me by a girl in our village who was in high school. She was my classmate before. If I hadn't dropped out of school, I would be like her. Going to high school!" Zhang Yu made up nonsense.

"Yes! My sister is the same age as you. This summer vacation is over, and it's time for her to be a sophomore in high school."

Start moving things.

Everyone hurriedly moved their belongings out of the car and put them in the yard.

There are exactly four rooms, one for each of the four people, and their respective things are sorted out separately.

They didn't bring much, just bedding and clothes.

Luckily, the original homeowners left some bed frames and slats, and they just put them on.

Other daily necessities have to be purchased.For example, you can’t buy or get firewood here, so every household in Nanshi burns coal, and you have to buy coal-burning stoves and briquettes.

There is a faucet in the kitchen, one in the yard, and one in the bathroom. Zhang Yu is gratified that he no longer has to fetch water every day.

Yingzi, Erniu, and Xiaobao were all very curious about turning on the faucet. They were surprised and puzzled when they saw that the water would flow out automatically when the faucet was turned on.

Zhao Chunhua explained to them for a long time, but they were still dumbfounded. Later, when they heard that they had to pay for water, they felt very distressed about the money.

Yingzi sighed: "The city is very good and life is very convenient, but everything has to be bought, the rent of the house has to be paid, and even drinking water has to be spent, which is much higher than the cost in Dongyang Village."

Zhang Yu: "So next, the main task of the two of us is to make money. The task of Erniu and Xiaobao is to study hard. Do you hear me? Erniu, Xiaobao."

Erniu and Xiaobao nodded.

Er Niu: "The conditions here are so good, if you don't study hard, how can you be worthy of my eldest sister?"

Xiao Bao looked here and there curiously.

Zhao Chunhua: "Have you packed it? Packed it up, I'll take you to my house for dinner."

Zhang Yu didn't want to eat at the Zhao family.

"Brother Chunhua, don't bother you, we can eat whatever we want. By the way, when we came, Yingzi's mother gave us ten steamed buns, enough for us to eat."

"Save the steamed buns for tomorrow morning. You don't have a coal-burning stove here, so you can't start a fire for now. Come to my house to eat tonight. My mother has already prepared it, and they are waiting for you!"

Speaking of this, it would be very impolite not to go. They have already prepared a meal, and they are sincerely invited to eat.Going there can be regarded as a meeting!After all, it is inevitable to trouble the Zhao family in the future, not to mention, they have already helped them a lot in order to bring the three siblings to live in the city, and the three siblings should also come to thank them.

Zhang Yu said to Zhao Chunhua: "Okay! Brother Chunhua, let's go, you go to the car and wait for us first, I will have a few words with them."

Seeing Zhao Chunhua go out, Zhang Yu said to Erniu and Xiaobao: "Let's go to Grandpa Zhao's house for dinner later, remember, don't gobble it up like you haven't eaten in your life, no matter how rich their food is, Let's take it easy, and only pick up the dishes around us, not those far away, don't eat too fast, and don't eat too much and get full, understand?"

In the book, Zhang Daniu took her younger siblings to Zhao's house for the first time to eat, because Zhao's food was very rich, which the two children had never seen or eaten, so they ate voraciously, and they ate too much. I was full and vomited, which made Zhao Chunhua's mother and sister very contemptuous.

The mother and daughter were not very happy about the arrival of their three siblings. The first impression was very bad, and the days to come would be bumpy. disgusted.

So this time, Zhang Yu reminded his younger brothers and sisters in advance, telling them to pay attention and not to do things that people can't see clearly.

Little Treasure tilted his round head and said puzzledly: "Sister, why can't you eat too much? Can't eat too fast, and can't eat food far away from you?"

"This is politeness and a kind of self-cultivation, otherwise, people will look down on you."
