Just like when he was looking for a shop in the town before, this time Chu Yi also agreed with the county manager to go to the county every ten days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he went to the county again.
Because it was bought to open a shop, and one had to live in it, there were naturally certain requirements regarding the location, area, layout, etc. The newly found bank carefully screened the resources in hand and sold it. There seems to be nothing particularly suitable for Chu Yi's requirements in the house.
Most of the shops in good locations and good locations are doing well. Either the tenants have no plans to change places, or the owners have no plans to sell their shops. It still takes some time to find a particularly satisfactory one, so it's not a problem for a young couple. urgent.
Ya Xing could only take advantage of Chu Yi's arrival to finalize some specific details. For example, are there any requirements for the business of the neighboring shops? If you want to live in the front and back yards, you can also find another house nearby to live in. If it is really not for sale, is it for rent? You can also go to see the specific conditions of the shop first. ,
The reason why I ask this question is that I know a shop that is about to be rented out. Although it cannot meet the needs of the young couple who have both a residential area and a shop, the location of the shop is good. The most important thing is that the area is large enough. If the owner's consent is obtained, it is not impossible to convert half of the shop into residential buildings.
The other party is for rent, and the layout does not meet his needs. Naturally, Chu Yi cannot regard it as his first choice. He just looks at the people in Yaxing who have repeatedly recommended him to check it out, and promises that if he comes to the county next time, he will not have it yet. If there are other more suitable shops, then it is not impossible to go to the shop mentioned by the other party and take a look.
This time when he entered the county town, in addition to going to the bank to follow up on the progress of finding a shop, Chu Yi also spent a lot of time driving an ox cart around the various streets in the county town, looking mainly at various He would stop at the paper money shop, and from time to time he would stop the oxcart, go into the shop to inquire about it, and then write down something in the small notebook he carried with him.
After a day of shopping, Chu Yi wrote half of the information about how many paper money shops there are in the county, which areas have more and which areas have fewer, what types of paper money they sell, and what the prices are. Book.
I walked around until sunset and then hurriedly drove the ox cart back. Fortunately, before going out, Chu Yi told Shen Luzhu about his plans for the day. He estimated that he would have to return home later, otherwise he would not be able to keep the Chu family together. They were already setting off. On the way to find him.
When they don't have to go to the town, the life of the young couple is particularly leisurely. Since it is not the peak season during the Fourth Festival, not many people come to buy paper money. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the paper money shop in front of Chu's house has only been open for half a day. , the young couple would either sit together and chat, or discuss future arrangements with family members.
After a long break at noon, Chu Ping and others hid in the west wing to enjoy the cool air and play cards. When the sun was not shining, the young couple would hold Zhengzheng in their arms, either going to various houses or walking on the path in front of the door. Walking has become Zhengzheng and Lihua’s favorite activity every day.
The young couple really didn't expect that Cihua, as a cat, actually liked walking. After the first time Cihua wanted to follow behind and couldn't stop it, the young couple became accustomed to it.
As long as it's not windy or rainy, which makes it impossible to go out, as soon as it's time to go out for a walk, Cihua will squat at the courtyard gate early, waiting, and then go out with the family of three.
For a while he followed leisurely, and for a while he rushed out far away. Then he stood still and waited for the young couple to follow, or he got into the grass or woods beside the road, and then he came out again from nowhere. Xiao Zheng is now much more lively than when he was born. He has been exposed to more things and is more curious. He is no longer like before, always making people feel like a silent little old man, but often At this time, Zheng Zheng would keep twisting and turning on his parents, looking around for Li Hua.
In addition to discovering that Cihua is a cat that likes to walk, Shen Luzhu also discovered that Cihua is actually quite friendly and leadership-like to other animals. It can treat all the cats, dogs, and even chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs in the village. It's really magical to go up and have a friendly exchange with people, and even take the untethered cats and dogs for a group walk in the village.
In early September, the church next door
Good news came from Grandpa’s family. Yuan Shuang was pregnant. She was already three months old when she was diagnosed by the doctor in the village.
On the day that Chu Ping ran out of the yard to ask for the doctor, Chu Yizheng took his wife to the county again, and this time Xiao Zhengzheng was taken to his grandmother's house by his uncle and Li Hua.
Coincidentally, when Shen Songjie came to the door, he caught up with the young couple who hugged Zheng Zheng and were about to send him to the next door yard. When he learned that it was an unlucky time for him to arrive today, his sister's husband was about to go out. Shen Songjie was not depressed and half-jokingly suggested, It would be better to take the child to Hexi Village by yourself. This would save the trouble for the aunt next door, and someone would take care of my fat nephew. His grandparents and great-grandfather would be very happy.
The young couple thought that this was a solution, and it would save Shen Songjie a trip in vain, so they simply got on the ox cart and sent their uncle and nephew and Li Hua, who suddenly followed them before departure, to Shen Song in Hexi Village. At home, the young couple Guocai set off directly from Shen's house and went to Xing'an County.
The reason why Chu Yi wanted to bring Shen Luzhu with him this time was mainly because he remembered what he had agreed to do before. He thought that if there was no suitable shop yet, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go and have a look at this shop first. In case the location, area and area of the shop were all they needed If they are still satisfied, then they can discuss it with the owner again. If the other party agrees, it will save them the trouble of looking for other shops.
After the young couple tied the bullock cart to the stakes in front of the gate, they went straight in to find the person who received Chu Yi that day. Sure enough, they hadn't found a shop that met the young couple's requirements yet, so the man got on the car together. Chu Yi's ox cart directed Chu Yi towards the street where the shop was located.
The shop was located on another main street behind Changqing Street. When the three of them rushed there, they happened to pass by the intersection between Changqing Street and Donger Hutong, which was the intersection next to Ruabo's shop. Seeing that he was about to turn the last intersection in front of him, Chu Yizheng leaned back and planned to point out to his wife that the place ahead was the Lu family's shop, and the ox cart had already turned onto Changqing Street.
I saw that at the intersection with Donger Hutong, there were many people surrounding it on three floors inside and three floors outside. I don’t know if they were joining in the fun.
Chu Yi drove in and saw crowds gathering in front of the two houses of Lu Abo's house, noisily looking inside. Even the intersections were blocked.
There was no way forward. When I wanted to retreat, I found that the back was blocked by the carriages and horses. More and more people were watching. The Chu family's ox cart was surrounded and unable to move.
Helpless, the young couple could only stand on the bullock cart and take advantage of the height advantage to watch the excitement.
In the innermost part of the crowd, in front of the Yu family's grocery store, all kinds of goods and miscellaneous items were scattered on the floor. The two groups of the Lu family and the Yu family were blocking the door of the store, facing each other one mile away.
However, the strange thing is that it is the Yu family who are blocking the outside, but it is the Lu family who are blocked in the shop.
Chu Yizheng was explaining the relationship between the two groups in the center of the crowd in a low voice in his wife's ear. He saw that the pedestrian who had been standing on the bullock cart with them to watch the excitement had squatted down and inquired about the news with the elderly and aunties who were watching. coming.
"Uncle, this is the Yu family's grocery store, right? What's going on? There's such a big fight?"
The uncle turned his head and looked at the grocery store clerk. When he saw that several people were on the bullock cart, he took a few steps back, half-leaned on the bullock cart and replied: "That's right, even the Yu's grocery store doesn't know how to deal with it." Something happened between his landlord, the Lu family. In broad daylight, the Lu family led a group of people into the shop and started moving things without saying a word. It was like bandits entering the city!"
There was an aunt next to me who had seen the old man leaning against the bullock cart just now. When the waiter and the old man were chatting, she had been looking around, and she had been watching on tiptoes all morning. It's so lively and my feet are so sore. It would be so comfortable to sit in that car.
So he hurriedly took over the conversation and got on the cab as he said: "Young man, let me tell you, I came early and happened to watch the whole process!"
The uncle was suddenly interrupted and felt unhappy, so he immediately retorted: "But I can pull you over. If you came really early, how could you stand so far back? You'd have already squeezed to the front!" "
The aunt was so choked that she rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, I am willing! Can you control it?"
! "
Seeing this, the clerk from Yixing hurriedly dissuaded him: "Master, aunt, don't get excited, don't get excited! We are all here to see the excitement, and it is fate that we can stand here. Harmony breeds wealth, and harmony breeds wealth. Let's continue talking about the Yu family, What happened next?"
The aunt moved back again and sat more comfortably: "The Lu family was so murderous that they pushed the door open at once! Then they heard a clanking sound inside, and then there was the sound of the two families quarreling. !」
"And then?"
"Then the Lu family started to move things out, but the Yu family stopped them and kept cursing. The three members of the Yu family were also capable, but they didn't ask the Lu family to leave the shop, and the Lu family started to get angry. Throw it out!"
The onlookers might be tired of standing. Seeing that there was a stalemate inside with no progress, they turned around and chatted together: "Well, that guy is just throwing away garbage, throwing everything out." Throw it away! It seems they are all goods from the shop, and someone is going up to check them out."
"The Yu family is so picky, but Liu is so tough, why can't he go up and scold people? Who dares to pick up his things?"
The aunt curled her lips and said: "She was busy trying to stop the Lu family. How could she have time to look after herself? Someone took advantage of the chaos and took her things! But having said that, you all know what caused the quarrel between these two families. Like this?"
"Why?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, you should hurry up and say it, because of what?"
I saw the aunt said mysteriously: "I heard it was because of the rent..."
Before the aunt could finish speaking, the uncle who had been silent all the time said disdainfully: "I thought it was some big secret. The rent in the Yu family is surprisingly low. Who on this street doesn't know, so why should you tell me? "
"Which ear of yours heard me saying it was because the Yu family's rent was low? Ah, which ear heard it?"
The aunt rolled her eyes at the uncle, deliberately tilted her head toward the others, and whispered: "Don't listen to that old man's nonsense. It's not because the offer is low at all, it seems because it's not given at all!"
