1970s Gangster Couple

Chapter 66: rent a house

Views:

Wang Xiaoyue's mother was very good at observing words and expressions, pulled her, and said with a smile: "The things in the restaurant are not as clean as those made at home." Then she kept praising Xiao Xiao's jerky.

When Wang Wei came again, Wang Xiaoyue's mother also said that she would invite everyone to dinner, but Xiao Xiao refused.

When Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei left the dormitory, her mother still couldn't get enough of it: "You classmate is so cute." She spoke softly, and when she smiled, her eyes turned into crescent moons, what a lovely girl.

Wang Xiaoyue also likes Xiao Xiao quite a lot, not to mention anything else, just looking at her classmate and her husband is pleasing to the eye.

Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao wanted to rent a house, preferably near the school.

Not far from the school, the two of them saw a lot of people setting up stalls on the street, selling things that students could use. Xiao Xiao smiled: When making money, these people are really quick-witted and courageous.

They walked past these small vendors, and suddenly they saw a wooden board in front of a stall owner with the words house rent written on it.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, he pulled Wang Wei, and pointed at him to see the sign.

I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect to see it. Wang Wei stepped forward to chat with the stall owner.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties. When Wang Wei said that he wanted to rent a house, his face was filled with a smile: "Are you students of Beijing University? My house is an independent small courtyard. I guarantee you I'm satisfied." In fact, he was just trying, the house is still a courtyard house left by his ancestors, it was confiscated before, and it was returned not long ago.

The family made great efforts to drive away the people who lived in the yard before, but the house was also ruined and unsightly. Several walls were used to separate them. They pushed two walls, and these houses were big enough for them to live in. up. There is still a wall that has not been pushed down, and it has become an independent small courtyard. Although it is a bit cramped, the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. If the population is not large, it is just right to rent his house.

The stall owner was quick-witted, and he obviously felt that the direction of the wind had changed. He tried to set up a stall before, but he didn't see people being arrested as usual. Coupled with financial constraints, they planned to rent out the independent small courtyard, preferably college students, at least college students were reasonable, and they would not end up occupying their house for nothing. He was also frightened by those people who lived in their house for nothing and couldn't get rid of them later.

Wang Wei nodded: "We are a couple, and we want to find a house closer to the school, and it's better to be private."

"Yes, please, my house is very close to your Beijing University, just across this alley. Sometimes you can take a shortcut if you are in a hurry."

The stall owner enthusiastically took Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei to see the house.

The stall owner said it was right. It is indeed very close to Beijing University, just across an alley. They led them to the yard, "Look, although this yard is a bit small, it is enough for two people to live in."

Xiao Xiao took a look and found that the yard was indeed not big. A wall in the middle separated it from the next door. The small yard separating this side was rectangular. She went into the house and saw that there were few rooms. The backyard is connected to the living room and the kitchen. There is an open space in the backyard. There are some unpicked vegetable roots in the field. It seems that the previous residents still planted vegetables here.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, it would be best to have free space to grow vegetables, lest Wang Wei need to find some bottles and cans to grow things.

The yard is enough for her and Wang Wei to live in. Wang Wei quickly negotiated the rent with the uncle. It costs seven yuan a month. The rent is really not cheap under today's prices.

But for Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei, it is still affordable. The two of them have worked in the bicycle factory for two and a half years. Wang Wei earns thirty-five yuan a month. He usually eats and drinks and uses his own culture medium. Apart from buying some daily necessities, he doesn't spend much money at all. Now he has no less than two thousand yuan in savings.

Wang Wei kept 200 yuan in his own hand, and deposited the rest in the bank.

The uncle wanted to collect one year's rent in advance. After Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei confirmed that the house was indeed his, they signed a contract. It is still a rare thing to sign a contract now. After signing the contract, the uncle said again and again: " You Peking University students just know a lot, so good, so formal, no one will suffer if you have a credential."

Only after signing the contract did I know that the uncle's surname was Zhang.

After getting the key and sending Uncle Zhang away, Wang Wei started to clean the house. Today is the last day for registration, and classes will start tomorrow. The house must be cleaned today, and the missing things must be put in place.

There are not many things that are missing, the basic furniture is there, just buy some pots and pans, Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao will not live here for the time being, the quilt and sheets on the bed can be picked slowly.

When Wang Wei cleaned the house and they locked the door to go out, they met Uncle Zhang and a middle-aged woman carrying a table into the door.

"Student Xiao, classmate Wang, where are you going?" Uncle Zhang was warm and amiable to Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei, and he clearly sensed the changes. , that is the talent of the country.

Like Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei who were admitted to the best universities at such a young age, their future prospects are boundless. It is always right for him to have a better attitude and a better friendship.

Xiao Xiao called Uncle Zhang, and Wang Wei nodded: "There is still something missing in the kitchen, I'm going to go around."

"Is there a lack of pots and pans?"

Wang Wei nodded.

"I have it here, so there's no need for you to go outside, don't worry, I promise I won't make you a penny."

Since Uncle Zhang said so, Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao went to have a look.

When they entered the next door, they found that the yard here was huge, and it was completely different from the small yard they rented. The Zhang family has a small population. There is an old mother with two children, and Uncle Zhang and his wife.

I don't know what route Uncle Zhang took. His place is like a small department store, and there are quite a lot of small things.

Xiao Xiao looked at Uncle Zhang: With this flexible mind, life in the Zhang family will never be difficult in the future.

Wang Wei chose something, and Uncle Zhang's offer was indeed very conscientious, much lower than those small vendors they came over to ask just now.

The transaction was a pleasure.

After Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao left, Uncle Zhang's wife suddenly became unhappy: "Why did you sell them such a low price? We didn't make any money from the things they took." But because of the ancestors, the past few years have been very difficult. The couple have no serious jobs. Finally, the atmosphere is relaxed. Uncle Zhang decided to start a small business as soon as he gritted his teeth. Now the whole family is pointing at this point Children's small business life.

Uncle Zhang was like his daughter-in-law: "What do you know? You see, the two of them were admitted to Beijing University at such a young age. They still don't know how to make a fortune in the future. Sell them cheap and you can make friends. Business done."

His daughter-in-law didn't take it seriously: "In the past, this would be a stinky old nine..."

Uncle Zhang clicked his tongue: "Why can't you see it? Today has changed, and in the future, it will be different from the past. If we sell things so openly, we would have been arrested sooner in the past."

"I'm just worried about this. It seems to be fine now. Who knows what will happen in the future..."

His daughter-in-law is worried. Selling small things may seem inconspicuous, but the profits are real. The life of their family is no longer as tight as before, but they are afraid that the policy of the higher authorities will change again...

Of course, Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao didn't know what happened next door after they left. After placing the bought pots and pans, Wang Wei planted some vegetable seeds he brought in the open space behind.

He took out the noodles brought from home and made a meal with jerky, "Today, I will eat what I can, and when the vegetables grow tomorrow, I will make delicious ones for you."

In the past few days, all I ate on the train were dry noodles and jerky. Now that I ate fresh meals, I squinted my eyes happily, "This is very good."

Seeing a bowl of noodles made Xiao Xiaole feel like a cat that stole fish, Wang Wei rubbed her head amusedly: "You sleep alone tonight, don't stay up late, go to bed early."

Xiao Xiao, who was originally cheerful, sighed pitifully when he thought about sleeping alone tonight: "I won't be able to sleep."

Wang Wei nodded Xiao Xiao's forehead: "Good boy, just tonight, tomorrow I will go buy a quilt."

Now that it is getting dark, it is naturally impossible to buy a quilt, so Xiao Xiao nodded: "Then give me one of your clothes, and I will sleep with it."

Wang Wei clicked his tongue: "Tell me about you, how good it is to be so clingy." His face was disgusted, but he felt particularly satisfied and full of security in his heart.

Xiao Xiao wouldn't be unable to sleep without Wang Wei for one night, isn't she worried that Wang Wei is worried about gain and loss.

It was already dark when the two returned to the dormitory.

The other three were in the dormitory, Li Fangfang was racing against time to read a book, Dong Wei was sitting on a chair eating snacks, and Wang Xiaoyue was eating the jerky Xiao Xiao gave with relish.

Dong Wei looked at the toffee in her hand, it was bought in a department store today, it was very expensive, but she couldn't take her eyes off the jerky in Wang Xiaoyue's hand as she ate it.

Just when he was about to tell Wang Xiaoyue to let her taste it, Xiao Xiao pushed the door and walked in.

Wang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up; "Xiao Xiao, you're back. Where have you been? I'm planning to go to the cafeteria for dinner with you."

Xiao Xiao smiled: "My husband and I ate outside."

Wang Xiaoyue said, "You really deserve it."

Xiao Xiao nodded seriously: "I think so too."

This made Wang Xiaoyue choke, she thought Xiao Xiao would be shy, but she admitted it so generously, but it also made her more fond of Xiao Xiao, she has never liked those who are twitchy.

Dong Wei and Li Fangfang also greeted Xiao Xiao.

After Xiao Xiao greeted them, he went to wash up. He was tired all day and wanted to go to bed early.

Usually, even Wang Wei would bring the washing water in front of her, and it seemed stumbling to make it by herself, but fortunately, the weather is hot now, so there is no need to fetch hot water, which saves me a lot of trouble.

When she had just finished washing and was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door. Wang Xiaoyue opened it and saw a strange girl.

"Who are you looking for?"

The girl replied: "I'm looking for Xiao Xiao, my second sister."

"Third sister?" Xiao Xiao poked his head out of the bed: "It's so late, what do you want me for?"

Seeing that it was really Xiao Xiao's younger sister, Wang Xiaoyue let the third sister in.

The third sister seemed to be leaving in a hurry, still panting heavily, she rolled her eyes at Xiao Xiao; "You think I am willing to come, I ran into my brother-in-law just after eating, and I am going to bring you hot water, but the supervisor Don’t let me in, no, I will be arrested as a young man.”

"I'm done washing." Xiao Xiao's smile deepened when he heard that it was Wang Wei.

The third sister put the hot water away: "Then you can wash your face tomorrow morning. I said that it's okay to have no hot water in this weather. My brother-in-law just asked me to bring it up." Her brother-in-law really regarded her second sister as fragile porcelain. Can't make a doll

Xiao Xiaole said happily: "Your brother-in-law loves me so much, you should leave quickly, otherwise the dormitory will be closed soon."

"Got it, anyway, I'm running errands for you." The third sister stuck out her tongue at Xiao Xiao, and walked away in a hurry.

After the third sister delivered the water, the dormitory was silent. After she had left for a while, Wang Xiaoyue said, "Xiao Xiao, your husband is still thinking about bringing you hot water. It's very kind of you, isn't it?" .”

Xiao Xiao nodded: "We are husband and wife, he is not good to me, who is good to him."

That's true.

But where can I find such a careful husband!

Dong Wei focused on other aspects, she looked at Xiao Xiao dreamily: "Is that classmate just now your own sister?"

Xiao Xiao nodded: "Yes." What's wrong

Dong Wei exclaimed: "Your family is too good. You were admitted to three Beijing University students at once. How did you learn it?" Like her, her family lives in the capital, and even when she goes to the mountains and goes to the countryside, her family lives in the capital. Can arrange for her to avoid, one can imagine her family conditions. She got the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination earlier than most of the others, and invited teachers from the former Beijing University to make up lessons, so she barely passed the mark.

Looking at the clothes of Xiao Xiao and the third sister, one can tell that their family background is not very good, and Chengkou County is a small place that has never been heard of. In such an environment, there is a situation where three members of a family are admitted to Beijing University. How can they not Wow her!

After she reminded, the other two came back to their senses.

Wang Xiaoyue kept praising Xiao Xiao's family for being great.

Xiao Xiao scratched her head in doubt: "Because this year's questions are easy." Otherwise, in her estimation, it would be impossible for Wang Wei and Sanmei to get such high marks in the test.

The other three couldn't explain what they had heard, and said in unison: "Who said this year's questions are easy?" Could it be that Xiao Xiao and the others did not take the same college entrance examination.

Xiao Xiao laughed out loud.

After Dong Wei was amazed, she suddenly walked up to Xiao Xiao slowly: "Student Xiao, that..., do you still have jerky, it smelled so good just now, I don't want to take yours for nothing, I use toffee and You change."

As she spoke, she stuffed a large bag of toffee in her hand into Xiao Xiao's arms.

Xiao Xiao squinted her eyes and looked at her: Actually, this girl is quite simple, but her mother is a bit snobby.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, I haven't eaten toffee yet." In fact, Wang Wei didn't want her to suffer. Others have it, so Wang Wei would get her for it, so she had eaten toffee. Yes, just don't like it.

She said openly that she had never eaten toffee, and her attitude was calm. Dong Wei was relieved when she heard that. In fact, she was worried about offending Xiao Xiao like her mother before, but she didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be more magnanimous than she thought.

Xiao Xiao handed Dong Wei half a bag of jerky.

Dong Wei immediately started to eat crunchy, and said while eating: "It's so fragrant, so delicious..." With that intoxicated expression, those who didn't know thought she had ascended to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Xiao Xiao looked funny.

Wang Xiaoyue finished eating the jerky, so she went over to take a piece of Dong Wei's jerky.

It made Dong Wei yell: "Your own, why eat mine."

"Just eat a few pieces, and I'll exchange toffee with you later." Seeing that Dong Wei was not like her mother, Wang Xiaoyue said half-jokingly and half-seriously, she really wanted to eat jerky, but unfortunately she couldn't resist the temptation, The last bit of leftovers was just eaten.

"Whoever wants your toffee, I finally got it from Xiao Xiao. Why don't you go and exchange it with Xiao Xiao yourself." Dong Wei looked at Wang Xiaoyue vigilantly while holding the jerky.

Xiao Xiao spread his hands at the right time, "It's gone."

Wang Xiaoyue's shoulders collapsed, she turned her head and rubbed her hands at Dong Wei and said, "Look..."

Seeing how pitiful Wang Xiaoyue was, Dong Wei gave her a few dollars: "It's okay, just these few dollars, there will be no more."

The two were fighting together, Xiao Xiao lay on the bed and watched with a smile.

Li Fangfang opened her mouth, feeling that she couldn't blend in, so she sat on her stool in silence and continued to read.

At night Xiao Xiao slept soundly holding Wang Wei's clothes, and was not late the next morning.

When she got out of the dormitory, Wang Wei was waiting at the door, stuffed her with a bag of buns, and asked her repeatedly: "Did you sleep well, did you wash your face in the morning, did you feel uncomfortable there..."

Worry about everything, for fear that Xiao Xiao will be wronged.

Xiao Xiao answered one by one: "Did you make this bun yourself?"

Wang Wei nodded: "I went to bed early last night, and I just made it this morning. Eat it while it's hot, and go to class after eating."

Xiao Xiao took a bite out of the steamed stuffed bun. It took at least two hours to make the steamed stuffed bun. Wang Wei didn't know how early he got up in the morning.

"Don't be like this in the future, I can just eat something in the morning and it's nothing."

Wang Wei nodded Xiao Xiao's forehead: "I don't need you to worry about it? You go with them, my classroom is not in the same direction as you."

Dong Wei and the others came up from behind, and Wang Wei waved his hand, telling him to follow Dong Wei and the others to class. He found out clearly that in Xiao Xiao's dormitory, Li Fangfang also reported to the Department of Physics.

Xiao Xiao watched Wang Wei leave.

Wang Xiaoyue patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, it's almost becoming a husband's stone, and it's not like I can't see you."

Dong Wei shrugged her nose: "Wow, this steamed stuffed bun is delicious!" After speaking, she forced herself to turn her head away, not to let herself stare at the steamed stuffed bun, otherwise she was afraid that she couldn't resist asking Xiao Xiao for steamed stuffed bun.

Li Fangfang buried her head low, while Wang Xiaoyue swallowed: "Living with you is simply a sweet torture." Where did so many delicious food come from

Xiao Xiao gave each of them one.

The three of them were quite embarrassed at first, they only ate so much jerky yesterday, so how dare they ask for Xiao Xiao's stuff again today. However, smelling the rich aroma of steamed stuffed buns, they couldn't resist the temptation in the end.

Dong Wei and Wang Xiaoyue ate the buns, clamoring to repay Xiao Xiao, such a bun made them feel ecstatic.

Xiao Xiao let them make noise, and the four of them separated when they arrived at the teaching building.

Li Fangfang and Xiao Xiao are not only in the same department, but also in the same class, and they both applied for applied physics.

After listening to a class seriously, Xiao Xiao sighed, the knowledge was really worthless, she flipped through the book, many theories were very one-sided.

Xiao Xiao also understands that due to the limitations of the times, the knowledge of the predecessors will always be overturned or supplemented by the later generations. The truth for a while is not the truth forever.

It seems that she doesn't need to go to class so step by step. It would be great if she can enter the school's laboratory to do experiments. She also wants to continue her previous experiment in interstellar dimension jumping space, and maybe she can find a way back to interstellar.
