The scene of his negotiation with the landlord emerged in Yu Xiangyang's mind.
Yu Xiangyang gave eighteen yuan to the landlord, "Tell her the rent is eleven yuan a month, and I'll pay for the three yuan!"
The landlord looked at Qian and was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You must like that girl outside!"
Yu Xiangyang wanted to deny it, opened his mouth and closed it again.
There was no need to explain his relationship with Wen Qiuning to these irrelevant people.
The landlord accepted Yu Xiangyang's money and complimented her: "You are a talented man and a beautiful woman, I think you will definitely succeed!"
Yu Xiangyang sounded strange and changed the subject, "This matter is kept secret and cannot be known to her. When the rent is paid next time, you still charge her this much, and I will pay for the rest."
The landlord said: "No problem! I hope you catch up with this girl soon!"
Yu Xiangyang: "..."
He didn't want to pursue Wen Qiuning!
He just felt that this room was quite suitable. It was not far from the bookstore and was surrounded by neighbors. It was safe!
"Yu Xiangyang!"
Wen Qiuning's voice brought Yu Xiangyang back from his thoughts, and Yu Xiangyang said in a carefree tone: "We didn't talk much! The landlord encountered something, and I just happened to be able to help. After a few simple words, he Agree to reduce the rent."
Wen Qiuning knew that Yu Xiangyang was a warm-hearted person, and what Yu Xiangyang said was true, so Wen Qiuning did not doubt it.
"Thank you, Yu Xiangyang!" Wen Qiuning said, "What can I do for what you did for him?"
Yu Xiangyang said: "No. You can ask the store for a day off tomorrow, and I'll make an appointment with Cheng Jingmo to help you with your home."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
Yu Xiangyang said in his heart, don't be so polite to him, he is idle anyway.
Yu Xiangyang sent Wen Qiuning to the door of the bookstore, which was already closed.
Wen Qiuning opened the door and went in for a while. Yu Xiangyang got off the car and went to the door to listen. There was no movement before he left.
After running around all night, it was already very late when I got home.
Everyone except Cheng Jingmo fell asleep.
Cheng Jingmo was sitting in the living room, looking at Yu Xiangyang who walked in from the door.
During this period, Yu Xiangyang ran out every Saturday after dinner. He had to ask Yu Xiangyang what he was doing outside.
Yu Xiangyang turned a blind eye to Cheng Jingmo's scrutinizing gaze, and walked to the opposite side of him in a grand manner and sat down, "You happened to be awake, so I want to tell you something."
"Come with me tomorrow to help Wen Qiuning clean up her house!"
Cheng Jingmo's eyes were still sharp, "What house?"
"She rented a room outside and will bring her mother to live in Beijing soon." Yu Xiangyang added, "I'm going to help her look at the house tonight."
Cheng Jingmo asked again: "During this period, have you always been out looking for her?"
Yu Xiangyang thought for a while and said: "Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but I don't want to tell you what I was doing when I went out!"
Cheng Jingmo asked suspiciously: "Do you like her?"
Yu Xiangyang knew Cheng Jingmo would ask this question, so he rolled his eyes disdainfully.
"What do I like about her? Can you stop being so narrow-minded?" Yu Xiangyang said, "I helped her out of kindness and concern!"
He seemed to have thought of a more precise word, and said with emphasis: "Sympathy! Do you understand?"
Cheng Jingmo didn't know much about things between men and women.
Wen Qiuning's experience was indeed pitiable, and he also sympathized with Wen Qiuning.
"When will you go tomorrow?" Cheng Jingmo asked.
"Have breakfast."
Cheng Jingmo stood up and said, "Turn off the lights everywhere. Go to bed early."
Cheng Jingmo returned to the room. Yu Xiangnian and the two children were asleep, leaving a night light for him.
He tucked the two children in, then lay down next to Yu Xiangnian. He reached out and took Yu Xiangnian into his arms.
Yu Xiangnian originally had his back turned to him, but he turned over to face him very familiarly in his sleep, and put his hand on his waist.
Cheng Jingmo kissed her forehead with satisfaction, buried his face on the top of her head, and breathed in the fragrance of her body.
He and Yu Xiangnian could only get together one night a week. Time was precious, and tonight was delayed by Yu Xiangyang.
He turned off the light and hugged her tighter.
At breakfast the next day, Yu Xiangnian learned that Yu Xiangyang and Cheng Jingmo were going to help Wen Qiuning clean up the house.
She couldn't help but look at Yu Xiangyang a few more times.
Yu Xiangyang was straightforward, kind and helpful, but she still felt that Yu Xiangyang seemed a little special to Wen Qiuning.
Yu Xiangyang noticed Yu Xiangnian's gaze and glanced over, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to go too?"
Yu Xiangnian raised his chin confidently, "I rely on my brain to make a living. I can't do this kind of physical work!"
Yu Xiangyang cast his eyes on Xiaojie again, "You're such a big guy, let's go together!"
Xiaojie: "..." Yu Xiangyang said a few days ago that he was eating for nothing and never grew taller!
After breakfast, the three men went out.
Wen Qiuning went to buy brooms, garbage shovels, basins, towels and other things early in the morning.
Several people came to the house and cleaned it first.
While Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie were cleaning the glass and mopping the floor, Yu Xiangyang took Wen Qiuning to look at the furniture.
Wen Qiuning has a limited budget and only plans to buy a bed, a table and a few stools.
While Yu Xiangyang and the others are here, she will buy these big items first, and she will buy other things later.
"Don't you want to buy a wardrobe?" Yu Xiangyang asked, "Where to put the clothes?"
Wen Qiuning said: "When the time comes, I will drive two nails into the wall, pull on the rope, and hang the clothes on it."
Yu Xiangyang: "...Where's the bedding?"
"I have already inquired about where to make bedding. Once the bed is purchased, I will ask someone to make a bed according to the dimensions." Wen Qiuning said, "Oh, by the way, I also need a cupboard." Put the pots, pans, and leftovers. Leftovers.
All this furniture cost nearly forty dollars, and she had very little money left.
Wen Qiuning's body ached and she was happy at the same time.
Yu Xiangyang and Wen Qiuning only brought two stools back, and they couldn't take away other large items.
Since they couldn't find a car to pull these things, there was a scene like this on the road.
Two men were carrying a bed that was about 1.5 meters tall, and a half-year-old child was carrying a table. All three of them were sweating profusely from exhaustion.
After moving these things home, it was time for lunch. Wen Qiuning invited everyone to go out for lunch, and Yu Xiangnian came at this time.
Yu Xiangyang looked at her and said, "Are you stepping on the rice cake to eat?"
Yu Xiangnian didn't bother to pay attention to what he said. She walked around the room and was also happy for Wen Qiuning.
She smiled and said: "Although the furniture is a little short, it is not bad. I will buy whatever is missing in the future."
Wen Qiuning also smiled, "Let's go have lunch."
Everyone knew Wen Qiuning's economic conditions, so they chose a nearby noodle shop with a tacit understanding and each had a bowl of noodles.
Yu Xiangyang finished his noodles quickly and was about to quietly settle the bill.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was pulled by Yu Xiangnian, who gave him a look and told him not to check out.
