When I came out of Nan Haitao's office, I happened to see a lot of people gathered in front of a counter on the first floor. The clerk was holding two balls of wool in his hand and shouting: "Special offer of pure wool, one dollar for one tael, free of charge, two colors, available."
Not much, first come first served.”
It's a rare opportunity to get knitting yarn for free. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, I can buy knitting sweaters for Ruirui and Lijuan.
Thinking of this, Chen Lishu turned around and went to line up.
After queuing for a long time, it was finally her turn. Chen Lishu bought a total of three kilograms of wool for thirty yuan. After buying, she walked towards the small courtyard.
As soon as Chen Lishu opened the door and walked in, she found that besides Lin Qi, there were two other people in the room, a man and a woman. The woman was the landlady who had previously viewed the house behind the department store.
"Sister Chen, this is Sister Liu and her brother-in-law, here to talk about the house." Lin Qi watched her come in and said simply. It seemed like she didn't say anything, but in fact it contained a lot of information.
Being able to take the initiative to come over now shows that they have already relaxed their minds about the original price.
"My sister is back." The woman was no longer as arrogant as she was on the first day of viewing the house, and she took the initiative to say hello with a smile.
Chen Lishu looked at her attitude and felt a little more certain.
The man who came with her had not spoken much since Chen Lishu entered the room. On the contrary, the woman named Sister Liu talked a lot to Chen Lishu.
The central idea is that no matter how good their house is, the lowest price is still 500 yuan.
The man frowned and continued: "Five hundred is definitely not enough. You can ask around. There is no such price. The minimum is five hundred and fifty. When the weather warms up after the new year, it may not be available at this price."
Chen Lishu felt a little amused when she looked at her husband and wife. Their feelings came over to her to sing the double act.
"I'm really sorry for my interjection. First, I'm not in a hurry to buy a house. Second, I only have three hundred yuan in hand. If you agree, I will go and get it together. Again, up to four hundred, if not.
Let's not waste anyone's time. I have something to do and will be leaving soon."
The expression on Sister Liu's face was stiff, and the man's expression was even worse. His chest was rising and falling, as if he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
The two sides were in a stalemate for almost a minute before Sister Liu took the lead to break the silence and said with a smile: "Sister, the four hundred you mentioned has never been at this price. If you sincerely want to buy it, we will have nothing to say.
I told you to go to the housing management office to change your name. If that doesn't work, we won't bother you and leave immediately."
"Four hundred and two, the most."
Sister Liu gritted her teeth: "Four hundred and four can't be any cheaper. To tell you the truth, we paid a deposit in another place. We are really anxious to sell this house, otherwise we wouldn't come to you. If this house is not
Don’t worry, selling it for 450 will definitely be no problem.”
Chen Lishu thought for a moment and said, "Four hundred and three, if you agree, I'll go out and collect the money now."
Sister Liu and the man looked at each other and finally nodded: "I've never seen a girl who can hold it so well."
Chen Lishu smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, she couldn't afford to live in it, but buying a house was like falling in love. Whoever loves the other more will compromise more.
She didn't have much feeling for this house in the first place, so naturally it was dispensable.
After the matter was settled, Chen Lishu pretended to go out to collect money, but in fact she went to the savings bank to withdraw money.
The two parties soon signed a contract, paid the money and went to the housing management office to change the name. They agreed to hand over the keys two days later before they separated.
"I know that no one in your family can do needlework, so I just brought you two pieces of ready-made clothes and this red envelope, and went back to wish my uncle and me a happy birthday."
Seeing that the person was gone, Chen Lishu handed the clothes and money to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi happily took it: "Thank you, Sister Chen."
…
At Chen Mandun's house, there were many people sitting in the house at the moment. The children had been sent out by Wu Chunmei early. In addition to Chen Mandun and his wife, there were also Mrs. Chen, Zhang Chunhua and her sister in the house, and there was also a lean girl.
old lady.
"Brothers and sisters, this fairy is Chunyan's mother-in-law. She is very capable and has cured many difficult and complicated diseases for decades. My second brother's disease will definitely be cured by her hands." Zhang Chunhua introduced Wu Chunmei diligently.
.
Wu Chunmei had never experienced this at all. When she took a look at Chen Mandun, who had been having a fever since last night and now looked even more ugly, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
"Mom, sister-in-law, thank you very much this time."
"It's the whole family that says thank you or not." Zhang Chunhua said and looked at the lean old lady: "Auntie, please ask the immortal to come out and take a look."
The old lady nodded, and soon after she sat in her seat, she began to twitch all over. When she spoke again soon, it was in the tone of another person.
…
Chen Lishu came back from town and brought several boxes of crackers and two bags of ice cream for her children.
Crackers were not common, and the children had never even eaten ice cream. When she took it out, they all swarmed around her.
"It's so cold outside, my nose is wet with snot from the cold." Chen Lishu took out a handkerchief and wiped Rui Rui's cold red nose, and said to Gu Song and Gu Zhao's children, "Take your brother back to the house quickly to warm him up.
It’s too cold to eat ice cream outside, so go back inside and eat it.”
"Let's go, everyone listen to me and follow me back to the house!" Gu Song waved his hand, like a general leading a war, and all the little hula lala behind him followed him into the house.
Seeing the children entering the house, Chen Lishu left another bag on the window sill outside, preparing to send it to Chen Lijuan and the others later.
Nowadays, ice cream is still a rare thing. One stick costs 10 cents, which is five cents more expensive than popsicles. Chen Lishu happened to come across one and bought it.
After sending the purchased items to the house, Chen Lishu went to Chen's house with wool and ice cream after telling her family.
Before reaching the door of the house, I saw Chen Liyuan and others standing at the door from a distance. When they saw her coming, a few little ones ran a few steps to greet her.
"Why don't you go back to the house on this cold day? What should the sixth and seventh sisters do if they are still cold?" Chen Lishu frowned and pulled several little ones to go into the hospital.
"Sister, there is someone at home. Mom said she was treating dad and we were not allowed in." Chen Lijuan raised her head and explained.
Chen Lishu paused: "See a doctor? Dad is sick?"
"The people invited by Nai and auntie said they wanted to invite a great immortal. Mom won't let us in. Sister, why don't you wait outside for a while." Chen Lifei answered.
"Nonsense, go to the hospital when you are sick. How can you mess around with these things? What if your condition is delayed?" Chen Lishu's face darkened, she raised her legs and walked towards the house.
In the room, Mrs. Zhao's body twitched, and soon she fell into silence. Everyone else in the room watched silently, knowing that the great immortal had already lowered her body.
"How is her aunt?" Mrs. Chen looked at the motionless Mrs. Zhao and asked tentatively.
As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Chen Mantun, who was sitting on the kang, suddenly raised his body, held the edge of the kang and vomited.
