Chapter 17
At six o'clock in the morning, Yuan Xiaoyu woke up. She tiptoed up from the bed, got out of bed and left the room.

She slept very comfortably last night. Although she didn't sleep for several hours, she still has to go to the city today, and there are many things waiting for her.

She took a deep breath in the courtyard and could smell the fragrance of the grass in the morning from the tip of her nose. She felt refreshed!

She took out a soft handkerchief from her bosom and splashed some well water to wash her face. This was obtained in the supermarket space last night, but after all, she had to stay at someone else's house for one night, so she didn't dare to take too many things.

"Xiaoyu, are you awake?"

A simple and honest male voice came from behind, and she turned her back. The man was honestly dressed in old army green clothes, and when he saw her looking over, he showed a nervous smile.

It turns out that this is Xinghua's eldest brother, Zhuzi, and at the age of 19, he is in his prime.

"Brother Zhuzi, you got up so early?"

"Xiaoyu, I went to bed too early last night, so I didn't have time to greet you..." Zhuzi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Yuan Xiaoyu showed a harmless smile, looking extraordinarily pure and lovely in such a hazy morning, "It's okay, brother Zhuzi."

Zhu Zi seemed to be in a daze for a few seconds. Seeing her smile, the tips of her ears turned rosy, "You, are you hungry? I'll make breakfast..."

"No need, I want to go to the city early. I made an agreement with Uncle Wang at the entrance of the village yesterday, and I will take his ox cart to the city today."

"Oh, that's it...then be careful on the road." Zhu Zi lowered his head a little bit disappointed, and the hand that was just about to be busy stopped in the air.

She smiled apologetically, fearing that she would leave some unexplainable emotions for the boy, she hurried out of the courtyard, and turned around and said, "I'm going first, I'll trouble you."

Zhu Zi chased after a few steps, saw that she didn't look back, and boldly shouted, "No, there's no trouble, you'll be fine..."

The thin and sassy figure of the woman remained in Zhuzi's eyes, and she bid farewell to this small mountain village.

Xinghua's house is very close to Wang Laogen, who sells tofu, only ten or so steps away, and soon she saw that Wang Laogen had put the reins on the ox cart in front of the yard.

"Uncle Wang, you are so early!"

Yuan Xiaoyu was a little lucky, fortunately she got up early, if she missed it, there would be no second Gu Bei who could be stopped by her.

Thinking of Gu Bei, Yuan Xiaoyu trembled her eyelashes, her eyes were a little dazed, the man who surprised her.

Now that she has gotten rid of Li Cuihua's family, but she teased Gu Bei, she wonders if she will be a little embarrassed when they see each other again.

But before it was her turn to think about it, Wang Laogen greeted her to get into the bullock cart, squeezed next to the tofu board, smelling the fragrance of tofu, accompanied by the snoring of the cattle, they drove towards the city.

After staggering on the bullock cart for an hour, he entered the city. Wang Laogen sold tofu at the nearest factory area on the edge of the city.

It happened to be convenient for Yuan Xiaoyu, she quickly jumped off the cart.

"Uncle Wang, thank you very much!"

Wang Laogen smoked a dry cigarette, smiled kindly and said, "What's the matter, you have to walk the road behind my daughter..."

"It's okay, Uncle Wang, then I'm leaving!"

She walked briskly into a small alley and disappeared among the crowd.

Long before entering the city, she made a plan to find a house to settle down, preferably in a popular place, otherwise she would be prone to accidents as a single woman.

As she walked and watched, she found that she had arrived at another factory area without knowing it, and there was an elementary school nearby. It happened to be school time, and many children went to school playing and playing with cloth schoolbags on their backs.

She found a big yard, and there happened to be a few aunts holding melon seeds and chatting in the yard.

Seeing Yuan Xiaoyu walking towards them with a smile, the aunt sitting in the middle spoke first, "Daughter, what's the matter?"

"Auntie, like this, I come to work in the city and have no place to live. I want to find a small house to live in. Do you know if there are any empty small houses around here?"

"Yo, just came to town? Do you work in this textile factory?"

Another aunt in a blue jacket came over curiously after hearing what she said.

"Hey, Guifang, do you know, is there any family nearby who wants to rent a house?"

"Hey, my house is crowded these days, who has time to rent out!"

Also, housing in cities in this era is not like the rise of real estate in later generations, commercial housing is everywhere.

Generally, all the old and young of the family live in a flat, and a small number of large courtyards handed down from the ancestors are also divided into several families, so it is extremely rare.

The aunts were all very enthusiastic, and started to discuss spontaneously. The leading aunt suddenly thought of something, and slapped her thigh, "Hey, I just remember, isn't there an empty room at Liu Fang's house behind our compound?"

"You mean Liu Fang? Her house is empty, but with her strange temper, can someone live in it?" The aunt next to her quickly waved her hand, obviously this Liu Fang is not easy to get in touch with.

"Oh, give it a try, this girl is beautiful, maybe she agrees just because she's soft-hearted!"

Yuan Xiaoyu heard this from the side, and quickly smiled and said, "I have to try, let alone I'm alone, I just don't go out on weekdays and don't disturb the landlord."

The aunts seemed quite bored, since they were idle anyway, so they carried her to the landlord.

Along the way, Yuan Xiaoyu inquired about the situation, only to find out that Liu Fang's family was originally the eldest lady, "Liu Fang's life is also bitter, the man died early, leaving only a daughter."

Another aunt said cautiously after hearing this, "I heard that she wants to sell the yard recently and go to the northwest countryside to find her daughter!"

"Who said that? Don't talk nonsense! This house was passed down from her husband's ancestors. It took a lot of effort to keep it. How could she be willing to sell it!"

The aunt's serious expression seemed to be in charge, but Yuan Xiaoyu liked the fact that she was upright and didn't gossip.

It looks like I found the right person to help.

The aunt who was reprimanded touched the tip of her nose, "Oh, I'm not talking nonsense, it's my daughter-in-law who said it herself. My daughter-in-law's father is the workshop director of the factory, and she has connections!"

Yuan Xiaoyu understood the ramblings along the way, the future landlord is still a poor old lady, a stay-at-home old man.

It arrived soon, surrounded by small single-family courtyards that are not adjacent to each other. The courtyard looks majestic from the outside, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and the eaves are all carefully crafted shapes, showing the past style of the host's house everywhere. .

The leading aunt knocked on the door while shouting with a clear voice, "Liu Fang, I belong to Cao Wang's family!"

Not long after, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair and dignified face came out with a trace of haggardness.

Her eyes were calm, her brows did not move, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and although the clothes were washed white, there was no trace of wrinkle.

At first glance, she looks like an old lady who is not easy to get along with.

She looked at a few people, especially when she saw Yuan Xiaoyu, her eyes fluctuated for a moment, and she said, "What's the matter?"

 The collection is so slow, let's comment and motivate!
