Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 882 What's wrong with ordering something?

Since Jia Zhang just wanted to buy the boy from the Zhao family in the front yard and move to the single room left in the police station dormitory, Qin Huairu didn't feel any burden in her heart.

Wait for the boy from the Zhao family to move out, and discuss with his parents privately. Give his family 1 dollar a month, and they should be able to rent a place for Banggeng to live there.

Nowadays, only a very small number of houses are privately owned.

In the entire Luoguxiang courtyard, only Chu Xiangqian’s east wing in the front yard was bought from the street in 60 when the policy still allowed the sale of houses.

The others are all rented, and the Jia family’s house costs 2 yuan a month.

The two side rooms of the Zhao family cost one dollar each, which was equivalent to sharing the burden of the Zhao family.

In the future, if the boy from the Zhao family comes back to stay for a day or two, or if any relatives come over, he can squeeze in with Banggeng.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang hurriedly shook her head and said, "If I really do as you say, do I need to ask you?"

Qin Huairu thought about it and it made sense. Her mother-in-law was not a good person to begin with.

Then Jia Zhang said, "That side room is about six or seven square meters, which is not small.

I mean, spend some money on it.

In the future, we don’t have to worry about the Zhao family going back on their word and not renting the property to us anymore.

If Banggeng gets married and has children in the future, he won’t be afraid of being kicked out and having no place to live.”

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Okay, go to the Zhao family tomorrow and ask them. If the price is right, let the three masters buy it as witnesses."

This kind of transaction is not protected by law at all, and what is actually being bought is the right to use, not the property rights.

From now on, the room will still have to be paid 1 yuan to the Zhao family every month, together with the rent to the street.

So the asking price for that house won’t be high, but it certainly won’t be something that can be bought for just thirty or fifty bucks.

But for Qin Huairu at this time, one or two hundred was nothing.

Of course, only a fool wouldn’t bargain.

That's why Qin Huairu handed the matter of negotiating the price over to Jia Zhangshi.

However, Jia Zhang was thinking that all the work for the boy from the Zhao family was done with the help of Chu Xiangqian, and with his help, the price could be reduced by at least half.

Qin Huairu was suddenly speechless about Jia Zhangshi.

But on second thought, he would definitely not bring up this matter with Chu Xiang, but he could ask Jia Zhang to discuss it.

Then he told her that he would go and talk to Chu Xiang about this matter.

In fact, the other half of the money was given to the Zhao family privately.

The reason was that the money to buy the room would be paid half by himself and his mother-in-law.

After the Zhao family gets the money, they will definitely not talk nonsense outside, after all, this matter is actually not in compliance with the regulations.

Jia Zhang felt that she had gotten an advantage and had no grudge against Chu Xiangqian.

Of course, she had to keep her opinions to herself, but by spending only a few dozen dollars, she could avoid Jia Zhang's nagging.

Qin Huairu felt it was worth it.

If Jia Zhang knew about this later, she would say that Chu Xiangqian gave her 2 yuan at that time.

Not only did I use his money to buy the house, I also made an extra hundred, or more.

Even if Jia Zhang didn't believe it, she couldn't really go to Chu Xiangqian to ask about it, right?

If that were the case, I, as the mother-in-law, would definitely not have the courage to ask.

After all, with just one word from Chu Xiangqian, Jia Zhangshi could go from sweeping the streets at the steel mill to sweeping the toilets.

Although they are both cleaning positions and the salary is the same, the working environment is very different.

When Qin Huairu was about to leave, he had an idea and thought, why bother with so much trouble.

Turning around and pulling Jia Zhang out, he whispered, "Mom, you said I should spend more time with that guy while he's back from his business trip.

I'll talk about this when he's happy.

Maybe we won’t even have to pay for it, he’ll buy it all.”

Qin Huairu must have taken the money himself, but when he said this, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

He continued, "Maybe you can give me some more money and tickets to buy Banggeng a new bed, desk, stool and wardrobe?"

Qin Huairu thought that she must ask Chu Xiangqian for the furniture tickets.

Although Chu Xiangqian doesn't like the children of the Jia family, he has followed him for so long, so he should give him a few furniture tickets, right?

This is because Chu Xiangqian had left such a deep impression on Qin Huairu that he would rather let Qin Huairu eat his fill in the small courtyard in Maoer Hutong.

She was not allowed to take food home.

But today, Chu Xiangqian would give 1 yuan without hesitation, let alone furniture tickets.

Chu Xiangqian plans to bring all his family members to Hong Kong Island next year.

The trade of dried fish with the streets and steel mills has never stopped over the years.

Apart from using the money to buy antiques, the master basically had no use for it.

He has at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in cash.

Instead of keeping so much money in my hands, I might as well give Qin Huairu a few thousand yuan before leaving so that she can feel at ease.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian had given Qin Huairu a big yellow croaker two years ago. It was this big yellow croaker that made Qin Huairu completely willing to follow him.

Qin Huairu herself actually had at least three to four thousand, or even five to six thousand yuan.

Ever since she and Lou Xiao'e knew each other, they both followed Chu Xiangqian and played cards with him.

Because of Lou Xiao'e's relationship, the quality of the antiques they received became better and better, and Chu Xiangqian took away the antiques they bought every time.

At least give them a few hundred, or more than a thousand.

The highest amount given was more than four thousand.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was overjoyed and wondered how many years it had already been.

I finally got some reward from that bastard Chu Xiangqian.

Then he looked at Qin Huairu with a different look. He thought to himself that Qin Huairu was still thoughtful.

I just wanted to save a few dozen dollars by relying on Chu Xiangqian's relationship.

But with this cut, Qin Huairu could at least get two or three hundred yuan from Chu Xiangqian.

While Jia Zhang admired him, she secretly wondered if he was too harsh. When Chu Xiangqian grew up and had to look for a job, he would feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

Qin Huairu was surprised when she heard what Jia Zhang said.

He smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Jia Zhang was relieved. When Qin Huairu was about to leave, she pulled her aside and whispered, "Just focus on your work outside these few days. I will take good care of the family."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed. If she could stay with Lou Xiaoe for a few more days, she could also spend more time with that person.

When she pushed her bicycle out, Jia Zhangshi cooperated with her to prevent Yan Laoshou from asking too many questions or suspecting anything.

When Yan Fugui saw Jia Zhang coming to see Qin Huairu off, he immediately lost all thoughts.

Not long after Qin Huairu went out, she saw Dazhuang walking out from an alley in the distance.

Now there was no more doubt and I rode away on my bike.

With Dazhuang around, Qin Huairu was not worried about safety. However, the more he rode, the more he felt his butt getting a little cold when the wind blew past him.

I always feel like someone splashed water on the seat.

When Qin Huairu arrived at Lou Xiao'e's house, Chu Xiangqian had just slipped out of the house and met her at the intersection on his bicycle.

Qin Huairu recognized Chu Xiangqian at a glance and hurriedly rode forward to greet him.

But Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, looked around, and actually took her with him, under the guidance of Shanque.

They turned into a dark alley. When the two of them came out on their bicycles, it was already half an hour later.

Chu Xiangqian seemed to be in a good mood, but Qin Huairu occasionally lost in thought while riding his bicycle, and always felt that the alley was much colder than other places.

After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at Lou Xiao'e's house. Chu Xiangqian climbed into the yard and opened the door from the inside. Qin Huairu reached out and twisted his waist hard several times.

Chu Xiangqian smiled, parked the two bicycles, and let Dazhuang in.

Then he carried Qin Huairu, who was walking a little unsteadily, into the house.

This woman is 29 years old, which is the most beautiful time for a woman.

And that kind of charm and maturity cannot be hidden.

Lou Xiao'e had fallen asleep, but when she heard Chu Xiangqian's voice, she immediately opened her eyes.

I thought I was dreaming, but then I heard the voices of Chu Xiangqian and Qin Huairu talking in the living room.

How can I sleep now?

At around 5 o'clock in the morning, when Chu Xiangqian got up, he saw that Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu were sleeping soundly, so he simply did not disturb their sweet dreams.

He went out quietly and asked Shantiao to lock the door from the inside, then rode his bike to buy breakfast.

Then go home.

As expected, no one noticed that he was out all night last night.

Enter the Novice Village to kill monsters, take a bath, change into clean clothes, and come out to start practicing boxing.

While practicing boxing, I was thinking about finding time to go to the night market and exchange a set of furniture tickets.

But then I thought, why go to the night market? Just go and stroll around the Friendship Store.

Foreign exchange can be used easily, so isn't it easy to exchange it for some furniture tickets?
Last night, after Qin Huairu followed into the alley, she talked about the vacant room of the Zhao family without any hesitation.

At first Chu Xiangqian thought that this woman wanted to ask him for money, but Qin Huairu did not mention money, she just said that there was no way to get the furniture tickets.

Chu Xiangqian was in this alley from the beginning, and he had ulterior motives, so of course he agreed without hesitation.

He took the opportunity to pull Qin Huairu along and put forward some conditions, and the rewards were indeed good.

I went out in the morning and got the furniture tickets easily.

Then he stayed at home obediently and watched Chu Jingrong, who started learning to read today.

I thought this kid was jumping around all day and was very naughty, so he would never be able to calm down.

But I didn't expect that teaching him to read was actually very simple.

When reading the Three Character Classic, Yixiantian just asked him to follow her. Chu Jingrong didn't even need to look at the book. He could actually remember it by following her.

This made Yixiantian, the master, his mistress, Lao Jiang and Xue Jinglan very happy.

Feifei, Jinzhi, Jinxiu and Gangsheng looked at Chu Jingrong with admiration and envy, secretly thinking that it would be great if their children could be as smart as Xiaoronger in the future.

Chu Xiangqian could tell at a glance that the boy's eyes were not on the book at all. In other words, Chu Jingrong only remembered how to recite it and didn't care how to write it.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't intend to reveal it. It was already amazing that a two-year-old child could recite the Three Character Classic.

If I ask him to learn how to write, then I, as a father, would be going too far.

It’s better to keep it simple and learn to write, which is something in elementary school.

Moreover, with Chu Jingrong's intelligence, the things in the textbooks would definitely not be difficult for him when he went to elementary school and middle school.

When Yixiantian felt that that was all for today's lessons, Chu Xiangqian picked up his precious son and gave him a big kiss on the face.

The boy was annoyed and started wiping his face with his hands in disgust.

Then Feifei picked him up and teased the little guy with smiles and laughter together with Jinxiu and Jinzhi.

When Jinzhi suddenly kissed him, the little guy didn't wipe his face. Instead, he hugged Jinzhi with a smile and kissed her back on the face.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes when he saw this. He thought that this kid would definitely be a scumbag in the future.

And with his family background and wealth, there would definitely be countless women who would throw themselves at him.

Xue Jinglan heard Chu Xiangqian's muttering, rolled her eyes at him, and whispered, "How dare you say that? Little Rongrong has so many aunts, it would be strange if he doesn't learn from you as his father in the future."

Chu Xiangqian smiled awkwardly, and then listened to Xue Jinglan continue, "However, my son is so smart that he can recite the Three Character Classic at the age of 2. He will definitely achieve greater success in the future. It's nothing strange that a girl likes him."

Chu Xiangqian nodded helplessly. This was his mother’s double standard.

After lunch, Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity when Jinzhi and Feifei took a nap so that he could go out again in the evening.

Quietly slipped into the west wing.

This time, the two little girls lost badly again.

I was unwilling to continue playing cards with him at night.

There was no pressure at all to deal with Jin Xiu. After Jin Xiu fell asleep, he got up and jumped out of the yard again and ran to Shatan Street.

There was no need to climb over the wall this time. Da Zhuang just shouted and heard the sound of a door opening from the main room in the yard.

Then the gate of the yard was opened by Lou Xiao'e.

Chu Xiangqian smiled, walked quickly into the yard, turned around and locked the door.

After whispering a few words to Lou Xiao'e, I saw an expression of disbelief on her face.

Chu Xiangqian ignored her and pointed at the mottled and worn wall inside the courtyard and said, "Do you want to find someone to apply some putty?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then she reached out to touch the crack on the wall with both hands.

A few minutes later, Qin Huairu in the room was wondering why Chu Xiangqian didn't come in.

Suddenly, I heard the faint sound of opera singing.

He couldn't help cursing a few times, but the more he listened to the opera, the more he couldn't help himself and wanted to sing the opera too.
-
The next morning, when Chu Xiangqian woke up, he felt that his body had returned to its peak.

He secretly thought that it was great to have a good body, otherwise, with so many women, he would have been squeezed into pieces long ago.

When he got up, Qin Huairu also woke up in shock.

He continued to sleep on his stomach, saying, "Xiang Qian, the things I collected during this period are all in the side room. You don't have to come over at night these two days."

Chu Xiangqian smiled. He lost so badly in the card game that he needed to take it slow.

He smiled and took out a few furniture tickets, cloth tickets and cotton tickets from his clothes and placed them on the table.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was just continuing to sleep, he didn't bother her.

He lowered his head and kissed Lou Xiao'e, who was still asleep, then left the bedroom and came to the side room. At a glance, he saw more than a dozen antiques on the shelves in the house.

After a quick glance, he found only three pieces of porcelain that were worth his attention. As for the others, there was basically no need for Chu Xiangqian to appreciate them.

He put them all into the Novice Village warehouse, then thought for a while, took out 4 small yellow croakers and placed them on the table in the bedroom.

Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e should have a lot of cash on hand.

Paper money is not as easy to reward and hide as gold bars, so I just used yellow croaker as the reward for these antiques.

Then I went into the Novice Village to take a bath.

Then he went out, slipped back home before dawn, and entered Jin Xiu's bedroom.

Just as I lay down, I saw Jin Xiu leaning over to me and whispering, "I thought you were going to go find Jin Zhi and Fei Fei and not come back to sleep."

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and decided not to explain.

He hugged Jin Xiu and whispered, "It's still early, go back to sleep."

Jin Xiu hummed slightly, then quickly fell asleep peacefully in Chu Xiangqian's arms.

Chu Xiangqian thought to himself, what a silly girl! It looked like this little girl was no longer sleepy after waking up last night.

I only felt at peace when I came back.
