Mother Zhao is not at home. Li Rong took the little guy to the Shen family today. Mother Zhao should be visiting the fruit shop with Father Zhao.
Li Rong walked into the east room and stood quietly at the door.
The source of the noise was a woman, wearing a black and gray cotton coat, rubbing her hands and talking happily.
Grandma Mo and the others didn't say anything. They were embroidering and sewing and sewing. No one paid any attention to the women, and they could still talk to themselves.
She lowered her head to look in, and continued to say: "Ah! Auntie's embroidery is so beautiful! I want it too! I can also sew, and at home, I sew all the family's clothes..."
..."
"Sister Li Rong?!" Li Xiaoai has been annoyed by this woman for a long time. She raised her head and was about to ask the woman to stop arguing. Unexpectedly, she saw Li Rong standing at the door. Finally, she waited until Li Rong came back!
Because grandma said that this was someone who was looking for work, and told her to have a better attitude toward them and not to drive away the workers Li Rong wanted to recruit, she only tolerated it!
"Sister Li Rong, you are finally back!" Li Xiaoai was very excited and kept glancing at the woman, "This aunt said she came here to find work, please hurry up and take a look."
Li Rong nodded and did not enter the room because Zheng Yanhong was currently using the sewing machine where she usually sat.
She called the person out and sat down on the rattan table in the corridor: "Hello, what do you call me? What do you plan to do?"
The woman shook her shoulders, put her left and right hands into each other's cuffs, and shrank her neck, making a hissing sound. It was much colder outside than inside, and there were still coals for a fire in the back room.
The working environment here is not bad. She just saw that it was so cold that if she were in the village, she would get frostbite on her fingers.
There is also a stove!
She must work here!
Her eyes rolled around a few times: "Hey, call me Wu Chunhua. I want to come and cook for you. I saw the red paper at the door! Are you a cooking aunt? I am in the village and do it every day.
Do you think I can cook for a big family?"
The other party's eyes always had a vague look in his eyes, and his words had a local accent. He must have come from the countryside. Therefore, although Li Rong was uncomfortable with the other party's irritability, she still tolerated it.
After all, it had been several days and she still hadn't found the cooking aunt, so she kept asking Mother Zhao to cook, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to say something, the other party spoke again: "My in-laws and your mother-in-law are in a good relationship. My in-laws are Hongxia. Did you know? They often go to the market to buy food together!"
Li Rong took a breath. Fortunately, she didn't agree just now. She didn't expect Wu Chunhua to be the Hongxia in-laws whom Zhao's mother came back to talk about before. They were the very lazy in-laws who came to her daughter's in-laws' house to eat and cook!
She blinked: "I'm sorry, Aunt Chunhua, I only want one cook, and I've already found one. You'd better find other jobs. I'm really sorry."
Wu Chunhua was stunned: "I don't believe it. There is still paper posted outside. How can you find someone?"
"I'm really sorry. I've been so busy lately that I kept forgetting to tear it off."
"I've been watching outside for a few days. Your mother-in-law has always been the one doing the shopping and cooking at your house. I don't believe you've found someone else!"
Li Rong: "The cooking aunt has something to do at home. Come back in a few days and my mother-in-law will help me cook for a few days. You'd better go back, it's cold outside."
Wu Chunhua thought that she would definitely be able to stay and work. She had even thought about what to eat tomorrow, but she didn't expect that Li Rong wanted no one.
She was reluctant: "My in-laws have a good relationship with your mother-in-law. If you don't want that, I can do it!"
"I have no control over the relationship between your in-laws and my mother-in-law. Looking for a job has to be done on a first-come, first-served basis," Li Rong refused calmly, "I'm going to go get busy, please help yourself. An'an."
The latter shout was directed at the North House. After returning, An An went back to play in the living room of the North House.
An An walked out: "Mom?"
"Come here, take you shopping, and ask your grandma to come back for dinner."
"Okay, Mom."
"Go back in and put your hat on."
The little guy wore his hat crookedly, and Li Rong straightened it up for him. Without looking at Wu Chunhua, who was still angrily beside her, she took the little guy to Luogu Street next door.
"Mom, where's dad?" When Li Rong arrived, Zhao's mother was weighing fruits.
Li Rong looked at the scale for help: "Three pounds and two pounds."
"Your father is playing chess with Teacher Yuan."
The little guy grew up here and was very familiar with the fruit shop. When he got there, he shouted loudly for grandpa and ran into the back room. When he saw Teacher Yuan, he obediently called out "Grandpa Yuan."
Yuan Huiwen was alone in his family and regarded An An as his grandson.
Hearing the voice of his grandson, he smiled widely and even ignored the chess piece that was about to be eaten: "Hey, here you go!"
Although Zhao Jianguo came from the countryside, he did not object to Yuan Huiwen being close to his grandson at all. Many people loved his grandson. What a good thing that was!
He smiled and ate Yuan Huiwen's piece: "Old Yuan, you are going to lose!"
"If you lose, you lose. No more playing. I want to play with my sweet grandson." Yuan Huiwen doesn't see the little guy every day. Zhao Jianguo comes to the store every day. He doesn't care. If he loses this time, he will do it again next time.
Just win it back.
He pouted outside and said, "Old Zhao, someone is buying some fruit."
Zhao Jianguo put down the chess pieces in his hand, got up and went to sell fruit.
Not long after, Zhao's mother and Li Rong came over.
Yuan Huiwen asked Li Rong why she was free today.
"Come and ask your parents to go back for dinner." Li Rong smiled, "I want to ask you something."
"What's the question?"
"Do you know anyone who wants to sell a house? It's best to have a courtyard house, just around here, or over there in Fukui."
Yuan Huiwen is a native of the capital. Before the policy was opened, he had a house here.
In the past few decades, he had the experience of studying abroad, which shows that his ancestors were very powerful, but he suffered a setback in middle age due to bad luck.
But he is still teaching at Qingdao University, and his connections and resources are not bad either in the past or now.
If you ask him anything, he's right.
Yuan Huiwen was stunned: "You want to buy a house?"
Li Rong nodded: "I have an idea."
"Is the landlord going to take back the courtyard house where I live?"
In the past few years, Yuan Huiwen went to the Siheyuan to eat a lot, and knew that Li Rong and the others lived in the Siheyuan.
That house was not small. Although Zhao Qingsong was capable, he came from the countryside when he first came to the capital. Yuan Huiwen didn't think they had the money to buy that courtyard house.
So he always defaulted that the courtyard house was the house that Li Rong and the others rented.
He said: "If you are looking for a house, just move here. There are still many empty rooms upstairs."
He was very happy for Li Rong and the others to move here. It was so lively and lively, how nice it was.
Li Rong explained: "No, we want to buy a house, and my third brother is getting married and wants to buy a new house."
"The house prices in Fukui don't seem to be cheap. They cost 3,000 yuan." Yuan Huiwen said, "In the old days, the people living in Fukui were relatives of the emperor."
"I know a little bit. I wonder if the teacher knows anyone or has channels to buy a house in Fukui?"
