Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 51 My Little Girl Landlord

"You silly girl, do you know what this is? You said you were going to take the person home? Where's your grandma? Why didn't she come?"

Xu Guangfu frowned when he looked at Xu Dani, who was less than one meter tall but had a childish look.

"My grandma went to collect firewood! I have the final say on this matter!"

Xu Dani first shrank her neck slightly, then pursed her lips and looked at Xu Guangfu stubbornly.

"伱"

Xu Guangfu was about to scold Xu Dani for making trouble, but when he saw the hope in her eyes, he couldn't help but swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After that, he hesitated for a moment, pointed the pipe in his hand at Li Guoqiang who was standing not far away, and said helplessly: "Then why don't you go and ask them if they are willing?"

Hearing this, Xu Dani was delighted, then immediately turned around and ran to Li Guoqiang, staring at him with her big eyes. For a moment, she couldn't think of how to ask.

After holding it in for a while, she finally managed to get a few words out of her mouth.

"Big brother, there is a kang in my house that no one is sleeping on. Can you come and stay at my house?"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang felt a little happy, then he squatted down hurriedly and asked softly, "If I go to live in your house, how much will I give you for accommodation per month?"

"this."

When Xu Dani heard what Li Guoqiang asked, she was suddenly at a loss.

She just heard that she could earn some accommodation fees by letting outsiders like Li Guoqiang stay at her home, but she had no idea how much she should charge.

For her, of course she hopes the more the better.

However, she was a little worried that the price she mentioned would make Li Guoqiang think she was too greedy and he would not be willing to stay at her house.

Just when she was feeling anxious about this, Xu Guangfu's voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Okay, girl, since she's willing, you can take her home first, and then let your grandfather negotiate the price with her."

Hearing this, Xu Dani's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she hurriedly asked: "Big brother, come with me to our house first! My grandfather must know how much to charge!"

Li Guoqiang had no objection to this and nodded in agreement immediately.

He was even a little worried that he would be disliked by Xu Danniu's family and lose his last chance to stay overnight.

If Xu Guangfu hadn't suddenly interrupted him just now, he would probably have taken the initiative to give Xu Dani a quote.

When Xu Dani saw that Li Guoqiang agreed, she took Li Guoqiang's hand and ran out of the house with a happy look on her face without saying a word.

Fortunately, she is still a child, otherwise Li Guoqiang would have to be dragged down by her.

At this time, it was still snowing outside, so Li Guoqiang could only vaguely see the adobe and thatched houses scattered around him, and could not fully see the scenery of the entire village.

Not long after, Xu Dani pulled Li Guoqiang through a slightly tattered wooden gate, ran to two old adobe and thatched houses, and then went straight into the outer room on the left.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Guoqiang smelled a very familiar scent of Chinese medicine, and his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Afterwards, he followed Xu Dani into the inner room, and immediately saw a skinny old man lying on the kang on the south side. He slowly supported his upper body with his hands and looked at them with his neck twisted.

"Grandpa, why did you get up? Lie down quickly!" Seeing this, Xu Dani hurried forward and supported the old man's body with her slender and frail hands, trying to get him to lie down again.

However, the old man ignored Xu Dani at this time, but looked straight at Li Guoqiang with a very sharp gaze, making Li Guoqiang feel like he was being stared at by a wolf.

Just as Li Guoqiang was somewhat curious about why the old man had such a sharp gaze, Xu Guangshan's lips moved slightly, and then a somewhat hoarse sound came out.

"You are one of those educated youths who came from the city to work in the countryside, right?"

"Yes, uncle, my name is Li Guoqiang. I just heard your granddaughter say at the captain's house that she could stay at your house, so I thought of coming to discuss the matter with you."

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then simply explained the reason for his visit to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Dani seemed to be worried that Xu Guangshan would disagree, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, isn't the north bed in our house always empty? Why don't you let big brother stay at our house?"

After saying this, she looked at Xu Guangshan with a pleading face, fearing that she would be rejected by him.

Xu Guangshan glanced at Xu Dani, then said in a somewhat cold tone: "Young man, let me tell you the conditions first, and then you can think carefully about whether you want to stay here!"

"First of all, if you stay here for one day, you have to pay 1 cents for accommodation."

"Besides, you have to cook for yourself, heat the kang for yourself, and do your own things. Don't expect us to help you."

"Also, as you saw when you came in just now, my family makes medicine for me to drink every day. The taste is a bit strong. If you can't stand it, then don't stay here."

"Finally, you can borrow these things at home as long as they are empty, but you have to pay for them if you break them."

"These are the temporary conditions. If you are willing, then stay. If not, then leave immediately!"

After saying that, he didn't even look at Li Guoqiang. He just turned his head back, and then lay down again with the help of Xu Dani.

Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Dani's expectant eyes, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, sir, then according to the conditions you mentioned, how do you think the accommodation fee will be paid?"

"It's up to you!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangshan raised his hand and waved it gently, but did not make any further requests to Li Guoqiang.

When Li Guoqiang saw this, he felt a little relieved. Then he immediately took out 4 yuan from the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, walked forward a few steps and put it in Xu Guangshan's hand.

"Uncle, I will pay you one month's lodging fee first, and we will pay you monthly in advance from now on. Is this okay with you?"

"to make!"

Xu Guangshan tightly grasped the 4 yuan, and then responded in a loud voice.

Then, he stretched out his hand with some effort to push Xu Dani's arm, and then said, "My dear granddaughter, go and help your uncle move the luggage over, and then clean up the north stove and the north kang."

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Dani immediately nodded with joy on her face and agreed, then hurriedly pulled Li Guoqiang, who wanted to take a closer look at the environment inside the house, and ran out of the house.

Soon, a silver bell-like laughter rang out in the snow and wind.
