The weather in July is like a furnace about to burn. Walking on the street, the scorching sun scorches the earth, and the exposed parts of the body, such as the face and arms, feel painful from the sun.

Ning Xi put on a hat and long sleeves and was still blinded by the sun. It would be great to have a popsicle and a cup of fruit tea filled with ice cubes in this damn weather.

When they came to the town, Ning Xi wanted to push Lu Nan to take a look at the textile factory, because the weather was so hot that the dried fish and spicy sticks were not as easy to sell these two days, and the canned fruit could sell 30 yuan a day. 40, [-] bottles.

Most of the canned food buyers are workers in textile factories. I heard from Zhang Ying that putting the canned food in the well and taking it out to eat on ice is very comfortable. Some people who have good conditions at home or have no living burdens would occasionally Buy a bottle and go back.

When I arrived at the booth and didn't see Zhang Ying, Ning Xi asked aloud, "Second brother, where is the second sister-in-law?"

"In the back, I let her hide there." Lu He pointed to a piece of woods behind and could see Zhang Ying sitting and resting with her eyes closed, leaning against a big tree. I couldn't eat anything after being exposed to the heat outside, and my whole body lost weight.

Lu He felt sorry for her, and as soon as he finished his morning work every day, he would let her sit under a tree to rest, and stand guard in front of the stall by himself.

"It's too hot these days, so you should bring out less goods in the morning, and pack them up in the morning when they are sold out."

Lu He wiped the sweat off his face, "I thought so too, the weather is so hot, after a while in the morning, very few people came out."

"There's not much left, let's take it! My aunt helped us find a house, so I happened to go over and have a look." Ning Xi glanced at the small dried fish and spicy sticks in the basket, and began to help clean them up.

"Xiao Ning! I haven't seen you for several days." Aunt Zhou came out of the textile factory, saw Ning Xi and immediately walked over happily.

"Aunt Zhou, you look pretty good recently." Out of a doctor's instinct, she smiled and said something to Aunt Zhou.

"It's not thanks to you." Aunt Zhou glanced at the booth that was being cleaned up, "Are you going back?"

Ning Xi smiled and nodded, "That's right! It's too hot, I'm going to pack up and go back."

"What about the rest?"

"Take it home and give it to others." The workers at home are also working hard, so they just took these back to reward everyone. "Aunt Zhou, wait for me for a while, and I will decorate it for you. Anyway, I will bring it back and give it to others."

"Help me weigh ten catties each. My in-laws are here, and I just want them to take them home and give them to relatives to taste. This is a good thing that we only have in Yao Township." Aunt Zhou didn't plan to buy it at first, but seeing Ning Xi and the others left There are quite a lot of goods, so I want to help them share some.

Ning Xi picked up oiled paper and packed spicy strips for Aunt Zhou, and each weighed twelve catties, and the extra two catties were given to Aunt Zhou. "Aunt Zhou, is there any vacant shop for rent along this road?"

Ning Xi had thought about renting a shop before. At that time, she was planning to wait for them to move to the town to implement it. The weather is too hot these days. If you rent the shop earlier, Zhang Ying and his wife will suffer less. Those who can get some popsicles, ice powder, and sour plum soup should be very popular.

Aunt Zhou pointed to the shops in front of her, "Here! There's a store just launched over there. The landlord happens to be from a textile factory. Want to rent it? I'll go and ask for it for you."

"Isn't Aunt Zhou having guests at home? I won't waste your time. You can ask me tomorrow when you are free."

Aunt Zhou smiled and agreed, "Sure, I'll ask tomorrow morning. I'm done, and I'll talk to Xiao Lu and the others directly."

After chatting for a few words, Aunt Zhou left, and Lu He also called Zhang Ying over. The four of them entered Xiabei Street next to them. At Lu Nan's request, the four of them stopped in front of a house, and he pointed to the side. "Second brother, go and call Aunt Yang."

After Lu He left, Ning Xi looked at the house in front of him.

This is a single-family house, the door of the house is locked, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside, but this piece of Ning Xi knows that the courtyards are so big that even if they are used as workshops, there is no problem.

After seeing the house, Ning Xi asked aloud, "Does this house belong to Doctor Chen and the others?"

Before Lu Nan could answer, Aunt He had already come out, and upon hearing Ning Xi's words, she replied with a smile, "This house belongs to our uncle, and their family has gone to other provinces to develop. Xiaohui said that you are looking for a house, I think Seeing that the house was empty anyway, I asked my brother-in-law what he meant. He had no opinion. The only request was that the old things in the house should not be damaged. These furniture were left by the older generation of the Chen family. I wanted to keep them in mind. .”

While speaking, Aunt Yang had already opened the door, "Let's go! Go in and have a look."

Ning Xi stood at the door and didn't go in. The house was very good just by looking at it from the outside, but there was a high threshold at the door, it was too inconvenient for Lu Nan to live here.

The embarrassment of Lu Nan when he went in and out before the threshold was not sawed flashed in her mind. She said apologetically, "Aunt He, I'm sorry, this house may not be suitable for us. Brother Nan's feet are not very convenient."

Lu Nan waved his hand indifferently, "I'm not in the way, and I won't live here for long."

"Xiaohe, come and help me take down the threshold." Aunt He pointed to the threshold and directed Lu He to take down the door. If you can’t hold it anymore, just press the threshold again, let’s go! Go in and have a look at the house first.”

This house is very large, with more than 20 rooms, large and small, and a total of three large yards. The furniture in the house is fully furnished and all are made of high-quality red lacquered wood.

Anyone looking at such a good house will be moved. Of course, there are also many worries. Zhang Ying asked anxiously, "Aunt He, how much does this house cost per month?"

"It's 6 yuan a month. It can be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. In short, you can pay whatever is convenient for you."

"So cheap?" Zhang Ying was shocked. They also inquired with those aunts when they set up their stalls. Generally, the small yards of single-family houses are about 5 yuan a month, but those yards are definitely not comparable to this yard. This yard is big and nice, and it only costs 6 yuan, which is really cheap.

Aunt He smiled and said, "That's the rent price for you. When outsiders come, let alone 6 yuan, you won't rent it for 6 yuan."

Ning Xi liked the house very much. It is also close to the No. [-] Middle School, and it is quite convenient to study, so she smiled and said, "Aunt He, we rented the house."

"Success." Aunt He took down the key and handed it to Ning Xi, "I have patients over there who are waiting to get their medicine so I won't talk to you. I'll give you the key first. You can move here anytime. No contracts or anything else." Signed, it's because my family doesn't pay attention to those."

Aunt He was really in a hurry to leave, and trotted away after speaking.

"Do you want to take another look?" Lu Nan asked again.

"Don't read it, go to my aunt's house first." When Zhou Hui called in the morning, he told them to come over for lunch. Every time Zhou Hui cooked alone, it happened that it was still early today, so we went to help cook together.
