Traveling through the ages, I relied on the sign-in system to become a boss!

Chapter 11 11. Rent a house

I just finished gossiping about the educated youth with my family yesterday, and the next day Shiliu met all the educated youth.

Qiao Hongbin looks fair, and maybe his family's conditions are good. His temperament is more like that of a weak scholar, but he is not amazing at all. At least in Shiliu's eyes, he is far worse than Prince Rui.

However, what surprised her the most was the female educated youth named Liu Feixue, who actually had snake-scorpion braids, which was a popular style of braiding in later generations. Shiliu seriously suspected that Liu Piaoxu was a time traveler. Seeing how her usual attentiveness towards Qiao Hongbin had really dropped, she had no intention of having a "fellow fellow meeting fellow fellow with tears in her eyes" with him.

In addition, another educated youth named Liu Tiantian also hangs around Qiao Hongbin all day long.

Precisely because the two most beautiful female educated youths were surrounding Qiao Hongbin, word gradually began to spread in the village that Qiao Hongbin's educated youth had a family background. The purpose of going to the countryside was actually to get gold, and he would be picked up by his family in a year or two. This made many little girls in the village excited, and each one of them began to surround Qiao Hongbin with their attentiveness.

Qiao Hongbin and Gu Aiguo, who were walking towards me, looked at the pomegranate with astonishment in their eyes. They did not expect that there would be such a stunning beauty in a small village. However, neither of them planned to settle down in the countryside, so they just ordered it. nod.

Pomegranate wasn't worried until she accidentally discovered something strange about Liu Tiantian...

"Pomegranate, high school is about to start. Do you plan to live on campus or rent a house outside? If we rent a house, we have to leave a few days in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to find a suitable house." Su Sanlan is determined to let her daughter rent a house. , after all, the high school dormitory environment in the county is really average, with 12 people living together, she is worried that Shiliu will be bullied.

"Mom, I plan to go to high school in the city, and my grades happen to be good enough. As for the place to live, I plan to rent a house directly." Seeing that the three sisters-in-law at home didn't look very good, Pomegranate hurriedly explained: "When I was studying in the county, I traded some things with my friends and made quite a bit of money. It was enough to rent a house."

Brother Shi's face changed: "Are you trying to be a traitor? Sister, you are so brave!"

Su Sanlan glared at everyone in the family and said sternly: "Whoever talks about this matter is not from the Lao Shi family!"

The others were so frightened that they shook their heads and patted their chests, promising not to talk nonsense.

Shiliu knew very well that if she wanted her family to be united, she needed to tie up her interests. She simply took out 30 yuan and handed it to her mother: "Mom, this money is for you. You can buy more food for the family. I have a hunch." Food prices will continue to rise in the future.”

Su Sanlan's hand that was about to push away stopped and said, "Why are food prices still rising? If they continue to rise, our family will not be able to afford food."

Brother Shi thought about the situation in the county, and his face was not very good: "The situation in the county is not good recently. I heard from my classmates that the supply in the city is likely to decrease, and my uncle and the others also privately said that this year Production will be reduced.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the family was silent. The harvest in the fields is their lifeblood these days. A reduction in production in the fields will cost them their lives. Moreover, the supply in the city will decrease, and the price of food on the black market will definitely rise. , where can they afford food?

"Okay. Boss, you go to the county with me today to buy food. Second and fourth, you two go to the city with pomegranates, pay the tuition first, and then try to secure a house."

Pomegranate has no objection to this, and she has saved 15 check-in points recently but has not used them. This time she goes to the city to sign in no matter what.

"Hurry up and get on the bus, two cents per person!" the conductor shouted towards the door.

Shiliu was protected by her two brothers and got into the car. She finally managed to grab a seat and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's too crowded. It's a shame you guys came with me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to grab a seat."

"Sister, be patient, we will be in the city soon." Shi Dong took out an orange from his pocket and handed it to Pomegranate.

Pomegranate quickly put the orange under her nose. The smell in the car almost made her vomit. This orange came just in time. Finally getting off the bus, Shiliu took two deep breaths of fresh air. The smell of someone's stinky feet in the car was killing her. This was incomparable to the subway in later generations.

After the three siblings calmed down, they hurried to the city's No. 1 Middle School. After finding the finance room, they knocked on the door and entered.

"Please come in!"

"Hello, teacher. My name is Pomegranate. This is my report card. I'm here to report."

"Why are you here just now? School will start in two days. Okay, let's pay the tuition first. It's 25 yuan in total. Are you planning to live on campus? If so, please pay the accommodation fee, which is 10 yuan per semester. "

"Teacher, can I ask how many people live in the dormitory?"

"Eight people per dormitory."

Shiliu frowned. She had only lived in quadruple rooms and double rooms before, not counting the dormitory where the original owner lived. There were so many people and they were all girls, so there must be a lot of things to do: "Teacher, I plan to rent a house. I wonder if you have any recommendations?”

"You want to live out? There is an old retired teacher in our school who owns a house. She asked me to find a girl for her to live with a while ago. It costs 3 yuan a month. If you are willing, we can go there." In fact, what Wang Li didn't say was that the old teacher was also her aunt.

3 yuan a month is not expensive if the house is good. Shiliu nodded obediently to Teacher Wang's suggestion.

After walking for about 15 minutes, several people came to a small courtyard.

Teacher Wang stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Auntie, I'm bringing someone to see the house!"

After a while, an old lady with gray hair opened the door: "Wang Li, come in quickly."

After some understanding, Shiliu learned that the old lady’s sons were all soldiers. The eldest son was now stationed on the island, and the younger son was eating sand in the northwest. As for the second son, like her husband, he became a martyr early. The old lady is now with the second son. The grandson left behind by his son lives with him, and he not only has a pension but also pensions from his two sons. It can be said that he lived a very comfortable life in his childhood.

Although she has a tough background, some people are still jealous of her big house, so the old lady gets rid of her niece to help find a female student to rent a house, but the families of female students who have spare money to rent a house basically live in the city. , so pomegranates become cheaper.

Pomegranate happily paid the rent for a year. She planned to hang out in the black market. If possible, she wanted to save a sum of money before the economy opened up, so that she could go to Beijing to buy the royal palace that she coveted. According to the old man, the Bai family also took a fancy to that palace back then, but the source of the funds in their hands was hard to explain, so in the end they had to take advantage of their archrival Cui family.

Although the rented house is only 15 square meters, it is definitely spacious enough for Pomegranate to live alone. Without her needing to do anything, Brother Shi and Brother Shi quickly helped clean and spread the quilt... When Shiliu came to her senses, her small room had been tidied up.

Teacher Wang looked at the two tall gay men and asked curiously: "Classmate Shiliu, where do your two brothers work?"

When Shiliu looked at Teacher Wang's eyes, she didn't understand. She wanted to introduce a partner to her brothers, but it was a pity: "My brothers are all working at home. My second brother has been married a long time ago, but my fourth brother is not married yet." .”

Teacher Wang glanced at Shi Laosi with some pity. If the other person had a good job, she would really like to introduce him to her eldest niece. After all, there are not many gay men who are willing to do housework these days.
