The Abandoned Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 052 The New House

Before they left last night, they deliberately hid the quilt and clothes, but they didn't get wet.The items in the kitchen were also well preserved. Shen Jing looked around, thought for a while, and asked Rou'er, "Is there anyone in the village who has a spare house that can be rented out?"

Rou'er thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, there is a house in Lizheng's cousin's house. Their new house has been built for more than half a year, and not long after they moved in, the previous house was vacant. I saw it when I passed by. After a few glances, it is intact, and there are some furniture inside."

"We don't want to repair this house anymore. Let's just rent a house from Uncle Desheng's house. When we have enough money, we can build a small yard."

Due to the dilapidated roof, after a rain yesterday, the house was full of puddles. It is impossible for people to live in such a place, and they can't live here even if the house is repaired.At that time, it will be necessary to disturb Lizheng and the others. It is better to rent a house and build a house directly, which will be more convenient.

Rou'er nodded and said yes, Yan Yu naturally had no objection, the three of them went to Li Zheng together, Shen Jing explained his thoughts and plans, Li Zheng nodded, "That's fine, Desheng is also a trustworthy person , I'll take you there and talk to him."

"Then thank you, Uncle Lizheng, but it's the first time I've rented a house, and I don't know how the rent is calculated."

"The house of Desheng's family is quite spacious. It is a courtyard with one entrance, one hall has three rooms, one hall is the main room, the third room is the bedroom, and the far door is the entrance. There are chicken coops and pigpen huts in the backyard, which are well-manicured. The place where the livestock is kept is very spacious. You probably don’t know that Desheng’s family is very good at raising chickens. Their family can get a lot of income just by selling eggs. There is a small pond on the opposite side, but there is no water in it this season. Water, you still have to go to the Qingshan River for water."

This sounds very good, the three rooms seem to be tailor-made for them, Shen Jing has already rated him five points for full clothes before going to the field inspection.

He has been busy dealing with life matters recently, and hasn't inquired much about the affairs of the village, but now he heard Li Zheng say that Li Desheng's family raises chickens, and he began to think about it.

The old house of Li Desheng's family is considered to be on the side of the second ring road of the village. It is not as noisy as the village center, nor is it as remote as the house in Niuxinshan.To get to his current house, you have to pass by the old house. Lizheng pointed it out to him, "Let's go to him first, and we will go to see the house together later."

Shen Jing nodded.

When a few people arrived, they saw a small yard with two entrances in front of them, all of which were green brick and tile houses. This is considered an upper class in Qingshan Village. Wa, it can be seen that their family still attaches great importance to this chicken, and their family is also very wealthy.

Li Zheng greeted him a few times first, and Li Desheng immediately came out to greet him. When he saw Shen Jing and Li Zheng appearing together, he was a little puzzled, "Cousin, what happened?"

Li Zheng smiled, and without turning a corner with his cousin, directly explained the purpose of coming, and said, "What do you think of this?" , anyway, it’s still a waste, let’s go and see together first, and then you can make a decision!”

The residents on this side of the Second Ring Road are scattered, but there is no trouble as imagined.After the rain, the air carries the unique fragrance of soil, and the sunlight sprinkles finely on the water droplets, making it more and more crystal clear.The house was built on a higher terrain than the surrounding areas, and the eleventh steps were covered with moss because of the few people walking around. Now that a few people have left, there are a few new marks on them.The main building of this house is still made of blue bricks, but the chicken coop behind is built with earth bricks, which is much older than the current house of Li Desheng's family, but it is much better than the house at the foot of the mountain.

The three bedrooms are on both sides of the main room, and only one bedroom is on the other side of the kitchen and a utility room. The utility room is also an adobe room with some basic furniture in it.A few people circled around, and Shen Jing's rating for this house changed from five to ten. He has already rented this house.

Li Desheng is also a straightforward person, so he agreed immediately, but when Shen Jing mentioned the rent, he said, "Everyone is a fellow countryman, and you don't see each other when you look up. If you talk about rent, you can stay here. The house is empty too!"

Shen Jing said, "No, no, Uncle Desheng, we are afraid that we will live here for a long time. If you don't accept the rent, we will feel sorry for you, so you can take it!"

Shen Jing's initial plan was to rent it for a year to give himself enough time to make a fortune. The rent he prepared was two taels of silver, which was considered a high price, but it also represented his sincerity.

Seeing that Li Desheng couldn't refuse, Li Zheng also persuaded him to accept it, so he could only agree, "But two liang of silver is too much, let's just let it be a hundred dollars!"

Shen Jing thought to herself, this Li Desheng is really someone who can get along with her. If it was Zhang Meili, she would have left with the silver at this moment, "Then just one tael of silver, Uncle Desheng, don't say any more , take this money!"

"No, no, one tael of silver is too much, I can't take this money."

The two talked for a long time, and Shen Jing finally had to say, "Then three hundred big money, Uncle Desheng, really can't be less. What if someone asks you to rent a house in the future, what should I do if I deliberately lower the price?"

Li Zheng also knew Shen Jing's temper, so he persuaded his cousin.

Li Desheng glanced at Li Zheng, who smiled, "Take it, but don't take away the furniture from this house."

"That's natural. I just stayed here thinking that it might be useful in the future."

After giving the money, Li Desheng immediately handed him the keys, exactly three keys, one for each of the three.The next step is to move. They don’t have any household items, only quilts, clothes and food bought in the town. The move will be finished soon. When Zhang Dashuan and Liu Dagang come, they have already done it. The two families can only say sorry, they are late.Shen Jing smiled, "Why are you being polite to me? I don't have many things, otherwise I would have asked Rou'er to call you. Now I'm going to Uncle Li's to get the finished belongings. How about you help me?" ?”

Everyone is naturally happy.

It is enough for a few men to go about the moving, and Wang Xiuzhu and Ma Jinlian stay at home to clean.This house has not been lived in for a long time. Although the house is intact, there is a lot of dust inside, and it needs to be cleaned completely.

Li Qiluo has already finished half of the household items, namely a table, a desk, and four chairs, and the tea table that Shen Jing said is also ready.

Although it doesn't have the tricks of the previous life, it has a simple beauty, and you can smell the fragrance of wood when you sniff it lightly.Li Qiluo's wood work is really good, Shen Jing couldn't help but praise, the mahogany furniture in the previous life was very expensive, I don't know if there is mahogany in the space, maybe Li Qiluo can help make a few pieces of furniture.

Thoughts turned a few corners in her mind, Shen Jing asked, "I don't know if Second Uncle Li accepts apprentices?"

Li Qiluo is 65 years old this year, but he is in good spirits, and he speaks with great vigor, asking, "Could it be that Brother Jing also likes this woodwork?"

"I want my little Yu'er to learn how to do it. He doesn't know anything. He has to have a skill to live a good life."

This matter was entirely decided by Shen Jing himself, and he did not ask Yan Yu for his opinion.He actually thought that Yan Yu would be able to make furniture directly if he had good wood. Although Li Qiluo seemed like a good person, he might not go astray in the face of huge temptation.

Li Qiluo thought for a while, then nodded, "That's true, it's just..."

"What's wrong with Second Uncle Li?"

"There is no difficulty, but all the things he made during his studies belong to me, and you don't have to pay tuition fees!"

Shen Jing smiled, Li Qiluo is helping him in a disguised form, what can he make during the study period?It's not that he made up a reason to relieve his financial pressure. To be honest, the Li family is much better than the Liu family.

"Wouldn't it be that we took advantage of it?"

"What's the matter, my son doesn't like woodwork, and now I can have one more apprentice to inherit my craft, I'm too happy to be in time!"

"In this way, I will let Xiao Yu'er come to study during Shenshi for the next few days, and go home at Youshi. Second Uncle Li, you don't have to teach him any great skills, as long as he can do some simple ones."

Yan Yu still has important things to do, it is impossible to study woodwork for a long time.

Li Qiluo nodded, "Actually, this job is hard or easy, the key is to put your heart into it!"

The two discussed it in a few words, and Shen Jing observed Yan Yu's expression secretly, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his face was still paralyzed.

This was a temporary decision, he was quite worried that Yan Yu would be angry, and he had to make a good apology later.

A group of people went back with their belongings. The three men each carried a large item and a chair, while Shen Jing held the other chair.

Both Zhang Dashuan and Liu Dagang praised Shen Jing for what he did just now, and said that Yan Yu, a servant, was really happy to be cared by his master like this.

Li Qiluo has also accepted a few apprentices over the years, but he has not accepted the people from Qingshan Village, saying that he is afraid of any conflicts, so it is better not to accept them, otherwise they can also be carpenters now.

When they went back, the three elder brothers had already packed up the main room and came out, and Bai Yao also came, with one more helper, the action was much faster.

It was already noon at this time, Shen Jing let a few people have lunch before continuing to work, and several people declined one after another, "Brother Jing, you are also a busy person today, we will not come to eat, next time we will definitely not refuse! "
