Chapter 48 Rent a house to live in

"The last place is close to the street. The house is in the courtyard as soon as you enter. There is a small vegetable patch in the backyard. The owner of the house takes good care of it. There is also a well in the front yard. The owner of the house said that if you rent this house, there will be a small vegetable patch in the backyard.

You can eat whatever you want, so it is very convenient to have food and water. Therefore, apart from being near a street that is a bit noisy during the day, this house has no other shortcomings. The rent is also suitable. At 30 taels of silver a month, you can rent it for three months."

After listening to the boss's introduction, Yu Xiaoxiao was basically sure about the house she wanted to rent, but she still needed to go and see it in person, so she said: "I wonder if you are free, could you take us to see the yard? If it's suitable,

We rented it.”

Hearing this, the owner of the dental shop knew that the matter was basically settled. As long as there were no problems with the house he took people to see, the mother and son would definitely rent it, so he smiled a little more genuinely: "Of course I'm free.

I'll take you to see it now? It happens to be not far from here."

"good."

So, under the leadership of the boss, the three of them went to see the house. The house was old, but it could be seen that the owner had maintained it very carefully. There was basically nothing dilapidated and aged. They entered the yard.

Everything was just as the boss of the dental shop said. Yu Xiaoxiao stepped forward to take a look at the well. It was quite deep. She used the wooden bucket next to it to fetch a bucket of water. The water was very clear and there was no foreign matter.

There is no peculiar smell, so you can eat it with confidence.

There is also a big tree in the yard. I don’t know what it is. The leaves are quite big. It will be good to enjoy the shade under the tree in the coming days.

Passing through the main room and reaching the backyard, you can see the vegetable seedlings growing very well, and the two huts not far from the vegetable field, which have also been tidied up.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at each room again. The furniture was all complete. It couldn't be said to be very new, but it was all old furniture, but it was also very clean.

Finally, Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the kitchen again. There were pots, stoves, and large pots, so all she had to do was buy some bowls, chopsticks, and plates.

Yu Xiaoxiao invited the two children to go out for a big shopping trip together. They needed to buy bedding and other items, as well as bowls, chopsticks and plates, as well as baskets and other items. Basins and washbasins were also indispensable, as well as food, oil, salt, etc., a large

There's a pile of stuff.

In the next period of time, Yu Xiaoxiao does not plan to save money. Both children have to prepare for exams, so they cannot just eat enough. Now they have to eat meat every meal, and they have to eat well and nutritiously.

Yu Xiaoxiao roughly calculated the remaining money for the three of them, then sent the two children back to the house to clean up their own rooms and rest.

Even in a modern era where everything is lacking, to study, you need to eat well, eat well, and eat nutritiously so that you have the mental and mental energy to study. But not everyone can get the results.

Come.

So until now, Yu Xiaoxiao still has more than 20 taels left, Shen Ye has more than 8 taels left, and Shen Qi has more than 13 taels left. In just a short time, the three people's small treasury has been reduced by nearly half.

This is the real reason why there were so few scholars in ancient times. Only if a farmer could produce a golden phoenix would he be able to pick one out of ten thousand.

Yu Xiaoxiao's choice was naturally to pay the money, so she said happily: "Of course I don't want to be in so much trouble. I am very satisfied with this yard. I wonder when we will sign the deed?"

Then, I waited for the owner of the dental shop to report to the government and come back.

Tsk tsk...difficult!

But thinking about it, Yu Xiaoxiao is very self-aware and knows that this is not something she can change. She will not do anything practical except thinking about it.

The owner of the dental shop said with a smile: "Madam, if you are not afraid of trouble, you can go to the city gate yourself to see if there is anyone selling firewood in the city. If madam is afraid of trouble, you can pay 20 Wen per month here. Our dental shop every half

Someone will come to deliver firewood every month."

After returning to the yard and locking the door, the three of them each chose a room as their home for the next three months and put down their things first.

If the two children were still allowed to pay this time, their money boxes would basically be empty, so they were not allowed to pay.

Yu Xiaoxiao naturally agrees. No matter it is modern or ancient, Yu Xiaoxiao feels that it is effective, formal and safe only through the government.

At this point, Yu Xiaoxiao really confirmed that how difficult it was to study in ancient times, which completely kept the vast majority of people stuck in poverty.

"This deed still needs my wife to come with me and go to Yahang to sign it and submit it to the government."

Alas~ This is simply a matter of survival that has not yet been solved, so we have to consider the issue of saving money.

Yu Xiaoxiao was worried about her money while waiting. How long had it been before she went out for almost 10 taels?

The three of them worked for a whole afternoon to purchase everything, which cost them nearly ten taels.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at it carefully, good guys, Yahang is making money from both sides. The landlord wants to pay Yahang 500 yuan as a hiring fee, and he also has to pay 500 yuan as hard work fee. This way he makes money without paying anything.

It’s one tael of silver. If you rent it for three months, you’ll have to pay 9 taels of silver in total, and you’ll also need to pay 60 taels of firewood, so the total is 9 taels, 560 cents.

If everyone can’t get enough to eat, how can they find the energy and brainpower to study?

Under such circumstances, if you still want to do well in the exam, isn't this just wishful thinking?

There were no other charges. Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t find any loopholes, so she happily signed and pledged the money.

After reading it all, Yu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, so she asked the owner of the dental shop: "I don't know how to solve this firewood problem?"

The next day, the two children got up early to read. Yu Xiaoxiao took the basket and went out to buy vegetables and meat. She didn’t know when the firewood would be delivered.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't stay long. She and the owner of the dental shop took the key to the yard and went there with their children.

So the three of them returned to Yahang again.

The boss went to write the deed, gave it to Yu Xiaoxiao to read and signed it.

After cooking dinner, Yu Xiaoxiao returned the money boxes of the three of them to each of them. Today's expenses were all paid by Yu Xiaoxiao. The previous guarantee fee was larger. Both children asked themselves to pay for it. Yu Xiaoxiao saw that the two insisted.

, just let them, they have money in their hands anyway.

A quarter of an hour later, the owner of the tooth shop came back, smiling and handing Yu Xiaoxiao a deed with a government seal. At this point, the house was rented.

At the vegetable market, Yu Xiaoxiao picked out some vegetables that looked quite tender and bought a day's supply. When she saw someone selling fish, she also bought one. Then she went to the pork stall and bought half a catty of pork belly, which cost tens of thousands more.

I bought two large bones, asked helpers to chop them into pieces, and then I was ready to go home.

Before walking a few steps, I saw an egg seller. Yu Xiaoxiao bought all the eggs in his basket. I saw that Yu Xiaoxiao’s basket was full, and Yu Xiaoxiao also sold all the eggs she brought.

, and gave the basket directly to Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiaoxiao naturally smiled from ear to ear, happily gave the money and left.

When I got home, I saw the two children opening the windows of their houses and sitting by the windows, reading the books in their hands.
