80s Raising a Baby

Chapter 40 040: Renting a House
Hearing Jing Cheng's wailing, Jing Jin and Jing Yue beside him quickly pulled the quilt aside and put it on their bodies.

Jing Yue looked up at Ye Qian, and said awkwardly, "Auntie, why didn't you say anything when you came here."

Ye Qian: "What are you afraid of? I heard from your mother that she doesn't call you every day."

Jing Jin: "You are different from my mother."

Ye Qian: "Don't worry about sleeping, I just came over to call Jing Cheng, and I'll leave as soon as he gets up."

Jing Yue immediately kicked Jing Cheng's ass, "Stop howling, get up quickly."

Jing Cheng...

In the end, under pressure, Jing Cheng got up from the bed. When passing by Jing Hong, he gave him a resentful look, as if to say who told you to get up and open the door for mother.

When Ye Qian dragged Jing Cheng out, she suddenly glanced at Jing Hong, and said calmly, "Since we're up, let's go together!"

Jinghong...

Jing Cheng gloated, "Hurry up, brother."

Jinghong...

Taking the two children back to their room, Ye Qian asked Jing Cheng to take out his Chinese textbook and start reciting ancient poems.

Jing Hong glanced at Jing Cheng silently, and also took out the Chinese textbook, but his mother said: "You don't need to read the Chinese, take out the English."

Jing Hong's hand stopped suddenly, he didn't know anything about English!

But he thought that his mother, a housewife, probably didn't understand, so he quickly covered up his guilt, and brought it out openly.

Ye Qian reached out to take it and asked, "Have you started learning?"

Jing Hong shook his head, "The English teacher hasn't come yet, so I haven't learned yet."

They used to learn English in the third grade. She was not sure if Jing Hong had learned it before, so she asked, "Have you learned it before? Can you understand these words?"

Jing Hong: "Never learned before, this is the first time publishing a book."

Ye Qian immediately understood.

"Then you learn from me first, and learn it again when your teacher tells it."

While reciting ancient poems, Jing Cheng listened to the movement with his ears pricked up. Hearing his mother's words, he quickly glanced at this side, and then asked, "Mother, do you know these are all foreign words? Don't give it to big brother." Bad teaching."

Ye Qian couldn't help but give him a blank look, "You think I'm you! There's nothing I can't do."

Jing Cheng gave her a thumbs up, "You are still the best."

Ye Qian first taught the 26 letters, and then taught a few commonly used English words.

She originally wanted to teach phonetic symbols, but she couldn't find anything after searching the textbooks, so she had to give up temporarily.

Listening to his mother's pronunciation, Jing Hong's eyes became more suspicious.

After Ye Qian finished teaching them, she began to make milk powder for them. Old man Chen had no choice but to cut off their food, so he could only eat snacks as meals.

Jing Cheng ate biscuits soaked in milk powder and said contentedly: "It would be nice to eat biscuits soaked in milk powder every day."

Ye Qian: "Okay, you know that every time you take the exam, I promise to satisfy you."

Jing Cheng: "Ahem! I suddenly feel that wowotou is also good."

Ye Qian couldn't help but rolled her eyes upwards, and after sending the three children away, Ye Qian was going to take Jing Hui to the town to find business opportunities.

Fortunately, this child Jinghui is easy to take care of, and he goes to bed when he is full. Apart from wasting his arms, everything else is fine.

When she arrived in the town, Ye Qian began to observe. Although the business was not stopped now, because of the remoteness of their place, the spring breeze of reform and opening up only blew a little bit, everyone was used to being cautious, and did not dare to make any moves.

But the only advantage of the town is that it has electricity, which is better than the countryside.

Ye Qian decided to open a barber shop after shopping around, because she found that there were not many places on the street where she could get a haircut.

Moreover, she has good craftsmanship and knows many styles, so she doesn't worry about running out of business.

After thinking about it, Ye Qian began to look for a place. The choice of a place must be the key. Find a place with a lot of young people.

After choosing to go, Ye Qian decided to find a place near the steel factory, because there are the most young men and women here.

It was not so easy to find a place. Ye Qian spent an afternoon shopping around before finding a suitable place. It was a small shop, which seemed to be used for meetings in the past.

Ye Qian searched for a long time before finding the owner of this store, who was an elderly lady.

The old lady sat alone at the gate of the yard, looking a little dazed.

"Ma'am, do you rent out this store?"

The aunt saw that the person talking to her was a young woman with a child in her arms, and her expression became kind.

"You want to rent a house?"

Ye Qian nodded.

I thought the old lady would talk very well, but unexpectedly the old lady shook her head suddenly, and said with a wry smile: "No rent, no rent."

Ye Qian looked at the old lady's overall temperament, and suddenly realized that this old lady must have been very rich in the past.

It must be persecution now.

"Auntie is now reforming and opening up, and the country allows free buying and selling."

The old lady smiled wryly, "That won't work either."

Ye Qian: "Ma'am, what I said is true, otherwise I, a woman, would not come out to rent a house with a child in my arms."

The old lady looked at her and asked suddenly: "Why did you come out to rent a house, where are you a man?"

Ye Qian looked at the old lady, hesitated for a moment, and then told the old lady all about her experience.

The old lady looked at her with pity, "Poor child."

"Let's do this! I don't want the money for renting the house, and you are responsible for cutting the hair of this old lady like me."

Ye Qian: "How can I do that?"

The old lady: "Why can't this work, anyway, my house is still there."

Ye Qian: "Ma'am, you are not afraid that I am a liar."

The old lady sighed, "I've lived so long, I haven't seen any kind of person. You have clear eyes and a frank face. You can see that you are upright. How could you lie to me, an old lady."

Ye Qian knew what the old lady was afraid of, thought for a while and replied: "Since you don't want money, I will take care of your daily necessities in the future. This is the head office!"

The old lady looked up at Ye Qian, and agreed: "Okay, as long as you are not afraid of being an old woman like me."

After the two agreed, the old lady took Ye Qian to see the room. Just now, Ye Qian just lay on the window and looked at it, but didn't go in.

The old lady opened the door with the key, and Ye Qian was even more satisfied when she looked at the compartments inside and the spotless room that had been cleaned.

Ye Qian: "Ma'am, I want to use this house to open a barber shop, and it needs to be renovated at that time, do you think so?"

The old lady waved her hand casually, "It's fine, you can figure it out."

Ye Qian: "Thank you so much."

Ye Qian left after telling the old lady to come and clean tomorrow.

On the way back, she bought a few more steamed buns at the guest house in the town. She didn't go back at noon and didn't know how the children ate them.

When I got home, it was getting late, and I saw Jing Cheng playing with a few children at the entrance of the village, and seeing Ye Qian coming back, he immediately surrounded him, "Mom, where have you been?"
