80s: After Marrying a Disabled Man, I Am Really Fragrant

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

Ning Xi put on her hat and long sleeves but was still blinded by the sun. It would be great if she could have a popsicle or a cup of fruit tea filled with ice cubes in this **** weather.

When they arrived in the town, Ning Xi wanted to push Lu Nan to take a look at the textile factory. Because the weather was too hot, dried fish and spicy strips were not as easy to sell in the past two days, and canned fruits could be sold in a day. 30, 40 bottles.

Most of the people who buy canned food are workers in textile factories. I heard from Zhang Ying that if you put the canned food in a well and freeze it, you can eat it. Buy a bottle and go back.

When she arrived at the stall and didn’t see Zhang Ying, Ning Xi asked, “Where is the second brother and second sister-in-law?”

"In the back, I asked her to take shelter there." Lu He pointed to a forest in the back. He could see Zhang Ying sitting against a big tree with her eyes closed to rest. She had been tanned several times every day. I couldn't eat anything due to the heat outside, and I lost a lot of weight.

Lu He felt sorry for her, and every day after finishing his morning work, he would let her sit under the tree to rest while he would stand guard in front of the stall alone.

“It’s been too hot these days. If you don’t take out a few goods in the morning, you’ll have to put them away even if they’re not finished in the morning.”

Lu He wiped the sweat from his face, "I thought so too. The weather is so hot. After the morning period, there are very few people coming out."

“There isn’t much left, so just take it away! My aunt helped us find a house, so we just happened to go over and have a look.” Ning Xi glanced at the dried fish and spicy sticks in the basket and began to help pack them away.

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

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

“Isn’t this all thanks to you?” Aunt Zhou glanced at the stall she was cleaning up, “Are you ready to go back?”

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

 “What to do with the rest?”

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

"Help me weigh ten pounds each. My in-laws are here. I just want them to take them back and give them to my relatives to try. This is a good thing that we only have in Yao Township." Aunt Zhou had not planned to buy it at first, but when she saw that Ning Xi and the others had left I ordered a lot of goods, so I thought I could help them share some of it.

Ning Xi picked up the oil paper and filled Aunt Zhou with spicy sticks. She weighed each of them twelve kilograms, and the extra two kilograms were given to Aunt Zhou. "Aunt Zhou, are there any vacant shops for rent along the way?"

Ning Xi had thought about renting a shop before. At that time, she planned to wait until they moved to the town to implement it. The weather was too hot these days. If she rented the shop earlier, Zhang Ying and his wife would 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 and said, "Here! There is a shop that has just been launched over there. The landlord happens to be from a textile factory. Want to rent it? Let me go and ask for it for you."

“Isn’t there a guest at Aunt Zhou’s house? I won’t waste your time. You can help me ask when you have time tomorrow.”

Aunt Zhou smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll ask in the morning tomorrow. I'll say hello directly to Xiao Lu and his wife." After chatting for a while, Aunt Zhou left, and Lu He also called Zhang Ying over, and the four of them They entered Xiabei Street nearby. At Lu Nan's request, the four of them stopped in front of a house. He pointed to Baohe Hall next to him, "Second brother, go call Aunt Yang."

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

This is a house with a single door and a single courtyard. The door of the house is locked and the inside cannot be seen from the outside. However, Ning Xi knows that this area is a courtyard house that is very large and can be used as a workshop.

After looking at the house, Ning Xi asked aloud, "Does this house belong to Dr. Chen and the others?"

Before Lu Nan could answer, Aunt He had already come out. After hearing Ning Xi's words, she smiled and replied, "This house belongs to our brother-in-law. Their family has gone to other provinces to develop. Xiaohui said you are looking for a house. I think Seeing that the house was empty anyway, I asked my brother-in-law what he wanted. He had no objections. His only request was that the old items in the house should not be damaged. These furnitures were left behind by the older generation of the Chen family. I wanted to leave them in my thoughts. ”

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

Ning Xi stood at the door but did not go in. This house was very nice just from 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.

  Flashing back in her mind was Lu Nan's embarrassment when he came in and out before the threshold was sawn at home. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Aunt He. This house may not be suitable for us. Brother Nan's feet are not convenient."

Lu Nan waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm not in the way, and I won't be able to 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 it down. "This threshold is removable. When you move here, take down the threshold first. You can take it down later." If you can’t stand it anymore, just close the door again and let’s go in and check out the house.”

This house is very large, with more than 20 rooms, large and small, and three large yards in total. The furniture in the house is fully made of fine red lacquered wood.

 Such a good house, anyone who looks at it will be moved. Of course, there are also a lot of worries. Zhang Ying asked anxiously, "Aunt He, how much does this house cost per month?"

“Six yuan a month can be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. In short, you can pay whatever is convenient for you.”

"So cheap?" Zhang Ying was shocked. When they set up the stall, they also inquired with the aunts. Generally, small independent courtyards cost about 5 yuan a month, but those courtyards definitely cannot be compared with this courtyard. This yard is big and nice and only costs 6 yuan, which is really cheap.

Aunt He smiled and said, "That's the price of renting it to you. When outsiders come, let alone 6 yuan, they won't rent it for 600 yuan."

Ning Xi liked the house very much. It was close to No. 1 Middle School and very convenient for studying. She smiled and said, "Aunt He, we rented the house."

"Sure." Aunt He took off the key and handed it to Ning Xi. "I have patients over there waiting for medicine, so I won't talk to you. I'll give you the key first. You can move here at any time. There's no contract or anything like that." I signed it because my family doesn’t pay attention to that.”

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

 “Do you want to see it again?” Lu Nan asked again.

“No more, let’s 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 to be early today, so they went over to help cook together.
