Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 184 Renting a House (1)

 In fact, Zhou Xiaoyun does not need to say that Zhou Guoqiang and his wife have also been considering the issue of accommodation for their children.

Zhou Xiaoyun could think of adults who would not have thought of it, and Zhou Guoqiang was also thinking about it in his heart, not knowing what to do. Erya and Xiaobao went to squeeze in with Zhou Xiaoxia and Zhou Zhiyuan, but what should Dabao and Daya do?

Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang discussed it for a long time but couldn't come up with any good ideas.

It is naturally the most worry-free to live in Laosan's house, but as Zhou Xiaoyun thought, just having lunch is enough to disturb others. If I stay there for another two or three months, they may not be happy!

The commercial housing in the third family’s house is just enough for four people. Two more children would be too crowded.

Furthermore, Dabao is naughty. If he causes any unhappiness again, wouldn't the two families be in conflict?

 But if they don’t live in the third child’s house, where can they let the children live? I heard that Dabao School has dormitories, but Yingming Middle School, where Zhou Xiaoyun studied, only high school students can live on campus!

what should I do?

 When Zhou Xiaoyun came back, he told his parents about his idea, and unexpectedly got unanimous approval from Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen.

Yes, you can rent a house for your children to live in for a few months. It just happens to be convenient for Dabao to study at night without having to run back and forth.

 Just spend the money and don’t care about the money.

Zhou Xiaoyun originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time and energy to get his parents to nod. He also thought about asking Dabao to help him, but he didn't expect his parents to agree so readily. He was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Xiaobao felt a little unhappy when he heard this: "Sister, if you and your brother rent a house next to the school, don't you have to come back only once a week?" Then wouldn't he not be able to see his sister for five days?

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and pinched Xiaobao's cheek: "Then you study hard and wait until next year to get admitted to Yingming Middle School and go to the same middle school as me?"

When Xiaobao heard this, he felt better and said with great enthusiasm: "That's for sure, I will definitely be admitted to Yingming Middle School. I'm going to read a book now." After that, he went into the room to read and review.

Dabao laughed so loudly that he almost burst into tears. It's too ridiculous for this little treasure to say that wind is like rain...

Dabao, who was laughing and stumbling, was startled by Xiaobao who poked his head out of the room and made a face.

Seeing that Dabao was frightened, Xiaobao went back to the house proudly. This time Xiaobao laughed.

Erya was also a little reluctant to let go of her brother and sister, but she was much better than Xiaobao. After a while, she put this problem behind her and happily prepared to go to her uncle's house to sleep.

Since you want to rent a house, of course you have to choose a location that is close to you. There is a street between Yingming Middle School and Qiming Middle School. There are many small restaurants, small shops, barber shops, clothing stores, video stores, etc. on that street. Zhou Xiaoyun’s favorite place is Xinhua Bookstore is also on that street. That street has a very nice name called "Shanghai Street", probably because it wants to get the glory of the big city.

Of course, there are many private houses for rent on the streets of Shanghai. Zhou Guoqiang, Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao ran around for a long time and finally spotted one.

This family rarely comes back from working abroad, leaving only an old man in his sixties to look after the house. The old man’s surname was Zeng, and he was quite kind and polite.

The house is a self-built building. The old man lives downstairs. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom plus a small kitchen upstairs. The place is not very big, but although the majong is small, it is well-equipped. There are beds and simple wardrobes in the bedrooms. , as long as you bring bedding, pillows and clothes, you can check in.

 The best thing is that there is a door at the stairs to separate the upstairs from the downstairs, and it can be locked from the inside.

Zhou Xiaoyun is quite satisfied with the environment. Of course, Dabao can't make any suggestions and just nodded his head.

Zhou Guoqiang and Grandpa Zeng agreed to rent for three months temporarily, and then they would have to pay if they wanted to renew the lease.

After Zhou Guoqiang paid all three months' rent, he took advantage of Sunday to bring two sets of bedding from home on a tricycle. Of course Zhao Yuzhen followed, carrying a package in his hand, which contained Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao's clothes.

 Xiaobao and Erya also had to join in the fun.

Just like that, the whole family got on the tricycle and headed straight to Shanghai Street.

Zhao Yuzhen was quite satisfied after looking at the house. It was at most a few minutes' walk from Dabao and Zhou Xiaoyun's school. They could go to school without riding bicycles. And the room is quite clean, just needs a little cleaning.

 After making the bed, put all the clothes in the closet.

Zhou Xiaoyun swept the floor and directed Dabao to mop the floor. Xiaobao and Erya took rags and wiped them everywhere. The four siblings cleaned the room in no time.

Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang naturally had other important things to do. They worked in the kitchen for a long time and tidied it up.

Zhou Guoqiang went to the gas filling place not far downstairs and filled a full tank of gas. He also bought a small electric cooker, a new teapot and two water bottles.

Zhao Yuzhen took the children to the store to buy some daily necessities. I bought everything from toothbrushes, toothpaste, teacups, towels, washbasins, footbaths, snowflakes, creams, and combs before I came back with my hands full.

 After putting things in place, Zhou Guoqiang took a family of young and old people to the restaurant.

Sitting in a restaurant, several children chattered about what to eat.

Zhou Guoqiang somehow remembered the scene when he brought Zhou Xiaoyun to the city for dinner a few years ago, and now he felt a little sour when he thought of Zhou Xiaoyun only ordering one fried potato shreds.

Zhou Guoqiang said with a smile: "Just tell us what you want to eat, and we will eat whatever you like today."

 Finally one day he could straighten his waist and say these words. Zhou Guoqiang felt that this was simply the greatest happiness and joy of being a father. What can make parents happier than satisfying their children's requests?

Dabao is clamoring to eat beef. He is a true fan of beef and loves beef the most.

 Xiaobao has long been trained not to be picky about food and will eat everything.

Erya giggled and asked for shrimps, and Zhou Guoqiang generously ordered a plate.

 Add a portion of braised pork and a stir-fried broad bean, and this meal is really expensive.

It can be seen that the children are very happy to eat, and Zhou Guoqiang feels that the money is really worth spending.

When Zhao Yuzhen saw Zhou Guoqiang paying, she followed him to take a look, and said distressedly: "You are serious too. If the child says he wants beef, then he buys beef. If he wants shrimp, he buys shrimp. How expensive is this dish? How much does this meal cost? It’s enough for us to eat at home for a few days.”

 Zhou Guoqiang said with a smile: "As long as the children like it."

Zhao Yuzhen muttered something more, to the effect that she spent a lot of money yesterday and today, paying rent, buying things, and going out to eat.

Zhou Guoqiang had known Zhao Yuzhen's personality for a long time, and she was not reluctant to let him go, but she definitely had to nag a few words to feel comfortable, so just let her say a few words.

 The store owner was a man in his thirties, and he politely handed Zhou Guoqiang a cigarette to smoke.

 After Zhou Guoqiang lit up his cigarette, he naturally asked about the price of pork in the city. Once you get used to doing this business, you won’t be able to let it go.
