In the evening, Gu Shoufu and his three sons returned from collecting grain, and Zhang Xiaoju and Gu Xingping also returned from the supply and marketing cooperative with their children in their arms.
Zhang Xiaoju gave birth to a fat girl in September. The child is almost the same as Gu Xingye. Now it is just over four months old and it is the time to breastfeed. Zhang Xiaoju also has to take care of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is too busy for her alone.
, Gu Xingping happened to be at home on vacation, so she went over to help take care of her.
"Third sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? You came back alone? Can you stay a few more days this time?" Gu Xingping was very happy to see her coming back. She came over and took Chen Lishu's arm.
"It's already the twelfth lunar month. I can stay for more than a week at most, otherwise it will be difficult to buy tickets at the end of the year. After all, your third brother is the only one in the family, and you have to go back to celebrate the New Year with him."
"Your third sister-in-law came back alone. I didn't see that she brought a little one with her." Liu Yuemin answered with a smile and glanced at Ruirui, who was playing with Gu Song and the others not far away.
She was asked to say that if Chen Lishu had money to raise other people's children, she might as well spend more money on her own nephews and nieces. She saw that the children were dressed much better than the two boys in her family early in the morning.
It was purely because of the extra money! "Rui Rui, come here." Chen Lishu smiled and waved to Rui Rui, asking him to come over and call someone.
Soon dinner was ready, and the family was divided into two tables, one on the floor and one on the Kang. Li Xiulan took the children on the Kang table, and the other adults ate on the floor table.
In the evening, Chen Lishu specially added hot water to the pot. After washing up, the couple fetched water and soaked their feet together before going to bed on the kang.
This was the first time Ruirui slept with Chen Lishu. Her eyes were bright all night, and when she looked at Chen Lishu, there was even a smile on her lips.
"What makes my son so happy?"
Chen Lishu reached out and tapped his little nose. Ruirui grinned sheepishly, showing a few small white teeth as big as rice grains. She bent her eyes and said, "Mom, my eldest brother gave me two marbles today, and
Can I take these two pieces of paper home and play with Brother Yanchao and the others?"
Chen Lishu smiled and nodded: "Of course you can."
While the two of them were talking, Chen Lishu raised her hand and pulled the light cord. Soon her vision dimmed and the whole room fell into darkness.
After riding in a car and walking all day, the two of them were a little tired, so they closed their eyes and fell asleep soon after.
After another day of rest at home, after breakfast this morning, Chen Lishu dressed Ruirui, told Gu Song to take good care of her brother, and then said hello to Li Xiulan, before Chen Lishu wrapped herself in a hat and scarf and walked to town.
Lin Qi had been waiting in the small courtyard all morning. The room was also very warm. When Chen Lishu came in, she was faced with a wave of heat. Her brows and eyes, which had already been frozen, suddenly came into contact with the heat and suddenly felt a little itchy.
"Sister Chen, according to what you said, I have been to several places in the past two days and asked people about it. There are only two places that are interested in selling houses. One was introduced by Brother Nan, behind their department store, and the other
Next to the train station.”
These days, few people buy houses, and even fewer sell houses. Often, a family of more than a dozen people squeezes into a small house.
Now that he was able to find two house sellers at once, Lin Qi had to travel far and wide.
"Have you made an appointment with the landlord? Is it convenient to view the house today?"
Lin Qi nodded: "There are people living there now, so it's no problem to look at the house."
"Okay, let's go to the nearest one first."
Soon, the two locked the courtyard door and went to the back of the department store.
The location of the house is not as good as expected. It is not on the main street. Although it is on the first floor, the area is not large, only about 20 square meters. The light is not very good, especially because there are many people living in the house and it is packed with things.
The room was even more cramped and cramped, with almost no room to stand. "Don't think my house is not big. It's just a small house. It faces the department store and is less than a hundred meters from its back door. I have too many people at home."
I really can’t move, so I want to sell my house and buy a bigger house somewhere far away, otherwise I really can’t sell this location.”
The woman is a clerk in a department store and has more vision and knowledge than others. When she saw Chen Lishu frowning, she immediately answered and told her advantages.
Chen Lishu smiled bitterly: "Look what the eldest sister said, I bought a house to live in. What's the use of being close to a department store? I'm not an employee there. I can't spend a few more dollars just because it's convenient to buy things.
A hundred dollars, right?”
When she arrived, Lin Qi had already briefly told her that the house was priced at 600 yuan, but it was never sold because the asking price was too high.
Chen Lishu didn't fall in love with it at first glance, but considering that the nearby department store could attract some customers, she could barely consider it, with a maximum of four hundred.
The woman frowned when she heard Chen Lishu's words. Did she guess wrong? Didn't the other party buy the house for another purpose? Lin Qi took a look at the woman's reaction, turned to Chen Lishu and said, "Sister Chen, why don't we go to another place to have a look?
Well, that one is not far from here, it’s a bit more spacious than this one, and it’s said to be cheaper if you book it years ago.”
Originally, the woman was still holding it. After all, there were not many people selling houses at the moment, especially in a good location. However, she couldn't help but panic when she heard Lin Qi's words. After all, it had been sold for more than half a year, and people took a look at the house.
Price walked away with a frown on his face.
"Little brother, I am an old man here. Which family are you talking about?"
Lin Qi smiled at her: "Sister, these two houses are selling houses. How can I tell you, please don't embarrass me."
The smile on the woman's face froze: "Don't mess around in this cold weather. If you like my house and it was introduced by Manager Nan, I will give you fifty yuan cheaper."
Chen Lishu smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and said to Lin Qi: "I heard you said that the company is willing to sell it for only 400? Let's go there and have a look."
Four hundred?
The woman almost screamed. It was unthinkable to spend four hundred yuan to buy her house.
The bungalow she was interested in cost 800 yuan, and she had planned to sell it for 600 yuan, so she could just add some more.
Thinking of this, the woman didn't stop her and said with a face: "Since someone is willing to sell it for 400, then you can buy it elsewhere. I don't have that price here."
Chen Lishu was not satisfied at all. The usable area was only over 20 square meters. Excluding the bathroom, fitting room, counter and storage space, it would be impossible to turn around even if a few more customers came.
Seeing that the two of them left without looking back, the woman began to hesitate again. Several people had already viewed the bungalow she was interested in. It mainly had three rooms and a small courtyard. It was definitely much more spacious than hers. In case something happened,
If someone really settles down, she will never find anyone more suitable than this.
Thinking of this, the woman quickly stopped the two of them: "Comrades, wait a minute. If you find out the truth, the price can be negotiated again. Five hundred, it really can't be lower. I have a position here."
