Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 111 is my own

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her forties. The woman looked gentle and always had a faint smile on her face. One could tell from the woman's appearance that she was easy to make friends with.

To tell the truth, she was quite happy. After all, she might become a neighbor with a middle-aged woman in the future. It was said that distant relatives were not as good as close neighbors. She was alone here with no relatives and no reason, so she naturally wanted to make more friends.

Nodding slightly to the woman, he said, "Trouble ma'am."

The woman opened the chatter box: "Does the girl live alone? Seeing that the girl is not very old, where is your family?"

She just heard Sumei say that she lives alone.

She was also very curious in her heart, after all, Hua Xiaoqiao was not very old, and a girl living outside seemed to be due to something happened at home.

The door had already been opened, and Hua Xiaoqiao couldn't help standing on tiptoe and taking a look into the yard, all she could see was the yellow mud floor.

"None of my family members are here, and I'm the only one living here for the time being." She replied seriously.

"Come in, girl. To be honest, the yard hasn't been repaired for a long time, so the roof is a little leaky. Everything else is fine. The yard is not big. It's enough for you to live alone."

Hua Xiaoqiao entered the yard and had already seen the construction of the yard clearly.

The yard is really not big, there are only two main rooms, and there is a hut beside the south wall of the yard, which seems to be the location of the stove.

The woman began to introduce again: "You can call me Aunt Zhang, the rent for this yard is one hundred yuan a month, which is not expensive in this city of Tongzhou. Seeing that you are a girl, it is not easy to go out alone. I will give you ten pennies less on my own initiative."

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't expect that there was such a benefit, she would lose ten cents directly, and Aunt Zhang was very upright.

It is good to be able to save less money. Now that she is living alone, she has to plan carefully.

Otherwise, when you may encounter difficulties in the future, you must make plans in advance.

With a smile, he said gratefully; "Thank you, Mrs. Zhang."

Aunt Zhang is happy. She thinks that Hua Xiaoqiao is sensible and can talk, so she likes such a generous girl: "Look, you are so polite. The yard is paid for half a year. I don't know if the girl can talk." Difficult."

Half a year is more than 500 Wen, which is not too little.

She was worried that Hua Xiaoqiao, a little girl, did not have that much money in her family, so she asked tentatively.

It's okay to pay half a year's money, Hua Xiaoqiao nodded: "Thank you, Mrs. Zhang, for being considerate. It's not a embarrassment. It's only natural to pay the rent for this house. I'll give you the money right away."

After speaking, he took out the money bag directly, and then gave the broken silver to Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang took the money and started to introduce again: "If you want to fetch water, you have to go to the end of the alley. If you are young, if it is not convenient to fetch water, you can come to me. My son happens to be at home recently and can help you carry water."

Aunt Zhang just felt that it was not easy for Hua Xiaoqiao to be a girl.

Just now Sumei told her Hua Xiaoqiao's name, and also told her that Hua Xiaoqiao was a girl who came from Tongzhou, and she was feeling distressed.

Both of them had work to do, anyway, what should be handed over was handed over, Aunt Zhang and Sumei said goodbye and left, said goodbye to Sumei and Aunt Zhang, and closed the door.

The moment the courtyard is closed, I feel like I have a world of my own. I have been here for so long and I have never had a sense of belonging, and I don't have much sense of security.

For some reason, her heart was filled with the moment the door was closed just now, and she felt that she belonged here.

I just looked at the yard and didn't go into the house to understand it. I saw that the exterior walls of the two houses are still in good condition, but the tiles on the roof are a bit messy. It seems that it is better to find someone to renovate.

Hua Xiaoqiao thought about it and opened the door.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a musty smell came directly to the nostrils, and there was a damp smell in the air, frowning, the room was really not usually humid.

There was light from the roof shining into the house, and the few remaining furniture looked wet. It had rained heavily in Tongzhou two days ago, presumably because the rainwater entered the house and wet the table.

The house is divided into two rooms, the back room and the main room. The back room is slightly better, and there is not much light from the roof.

And it's obviously not as humid as in the main room.

After wandering around, I found that the furniture in the house was useless. Anyway, there was not much left. She planned to dismantle it and use it as firewood. As for herself, she planned to buy some second-hand ones.

The house had to be renovated immediately so that she could move in earlier, but she didn't know anyone here, so she went out of the yard and locked the door, and knocked on Aunt Zhang's door next door.

After a while, the door opened, and a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old poked his head out. The boy was very thin, and the blue cloth clothes he was wearing were patched a lot.

"What's the matter, girl?" the boy asked in a nice voice.

Hua Xiaoqiao probably guessed that this boy was probably Aunt Zhang's son.

He smiled slightly and said, "You are Aunt Zhang's son, right? I am the one who rented the house next door today. My name is Hua Xiaoqiao. Nice to meet you. Is your mother at home? I have something to ask her."

The young man had probably heard of Hua Xiaoqiao, and he immediately became enthusiastic: "My mother is at home, you can come in."

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded slightly, and followed the boy directly into the yard.

Aunt Zhang's yard is very big, twice as big as the small yard she lives in next door. The main house has four rooms with brick walls and black tiles. Such a house in the west of the city is really good.

It's just that the courtyard wall of Aunt Zhang's house is made of mud, which doesn't affect anything. The courtyard is very tidy, and a few chickens are raised in the chicken cages against the wall.

Aunt Zhang heard Hua Xiaoqiao's voice, and hurried out of the room, and asked enthusiastically, "Is there anything Xiaoqiao can do for you?"

She knew that Hua Xiaoqiao had only come here, so there must be a lot that she didn't understand, and there must be a lot that needed help.

Hua Xiaoqiao had already walked up to Aunt Zhang, and asked very politely, "I wonder if Aunt Zhang knows anyone who can repair the roof?"

Aunt Zhang stretched out her hand and patted her thigh and said, "You just need to buy tiles. Dahe can overturn the roof of my house. When Dahe's father comes back, he can also help. You don't need to hire anyone, you don't want to spend money."

Hua Xiaoqiao waved her hands again and again: "How can this work, the money must be given, ma'am, tell me where to buy the tiles, I will buy them right away, the house is too damp, I plan to wait until after the renovation It’s better to hurry up and finish the renovation if you don’t come in to live in it for a few days, even if it’s going to rain for two days.”

Speaking of this matter, I was a little anxious, seeing that the sky was about to change again, and it might rain when.
