"It's time for me to leave..."
After finishing morning exercises with Atuo, Xia Xu took a look at the empty building and began to think about moving.
The living environment here can’t be said to be very good. It is only about the same as the old house left by my parents.
The reason why he moved here was purely because he wanted to cling to Uncle Luo's thick thigh to prevent the Hunter plot. Now the Hunter plot has been completely disrupted by him, Uncle Luo's family has also moved away, and he seems to have no reason to stay.
But where to move to
Going back to the old house
Xia Xu suddenly felt a little lost, and inexplicably felt as if he had become a lonely soul with nowhere to go.
Logically, he should move back to his original home, but that was only his original home, not his home.
If we really talk about the length of residence and feelings, he has lived in this community longer than in that house, and he really doesn't have many emotional ties to the place.
As far as the living environment is concerned, it doesn't seem to be much better than the current community. All you can see is a deserted little shabby house.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to rent a safe and comfortable house so that you can enjoy yourself.
But there is also a problem... that is, there is no money.
Even though he is worth tens of millions, he is actually penniless now. It is difficult for him to take out tens of thousands of dollars. For the time being, he can only afford to buy or rent a house that is neither high nor low.
The most important thing is that I'm always alone with a dog, and I always feel like something is missing.
“Got it!”
Because he was already affected by Uncle Luo's departure, Xia Xu was very melancholy for a while. It was not until a few minutes later that he suddenly had an idea and thought of where to go.
If you want to do it, just do it. Today happens to be Saturday, Xia Xu burst out with strong action and immediately contacted the house rental company.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.
Although he only had a pitiful few tens of thousands of yuan in his pocket, it was not a small amount compared to the normal expenses of ordinary people. After spending some extra money, Xia Xu successfully persuaded a middle-aged tenant to transfer the house he rented.
Using his money power to get the house he wanted, Xia Xu moved into his favorite residence overnight - a shabby small building in a street alley.
"I must get up early and have breakfast tomorrow. I haven't had breakfast for a long time. Yes, that's right."
Xia Xu looked diagonally downward from the window of his rented apartment.
There hangs an old light box sign with red background and white letters - Fangyuan Baodian.
…
early morning.
There are billows of smoke in Luoguxiang, some coming from breakfast shops and small noodle restaurants, and some coming from neighbors making their own breakfast.
At six o'clock, Xia Xu's biological clock, which had already formed inertia, forced him to wake up on time.
Habits are actually very scary things, especially the biological clock. Now he will naturally open his eyes when it is time, and he feels uncomfortable if he wants to lie down for a while longer. If he doesn't do morning exercises, he feels like he has energy but nowhere to vent.
"Well, let's have breakfast first."
After taking a slightly unfamiliar look at the unfamiliar environment around him, Xia Xu realized that he had moved out of his original neighborhood. After washing up, he took Ato's hand and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Normally, he would finish his morning exercise before going to have breakfast, but now... he couldn't wait to have breakfast, well, that's it.
"Young man, you are new here, right? I haven't seen you before."
"Yes, Auntie, I just moved in yesterday, upstairs from this apartment."
"Old Li and his friends? Hey, this Old Li, he moved without even saying hello."
As soon as Xia Xu went downstairs, he felt the enthusiasm of the neighbors.
Luoguxiang is an old street. It looks a bit shabby, but the residents are all long-time residents, so it is very friendly, which is quite rare in the city.
After going downstairs, Xia Xu was struck up a conversation with the aunt next to him. After getting away, he immediately walked towards the bun shop next door.
Perhaps he arrived a little early. Although the steamer in front of the bun shop was already emitting wisps of steam, there was no boss standing behind to sell the buns. He could only see a limping figure busy at work in the depths of the store, looking past the stove.
"Boss, give me two buns with meat filling."
Xia Xu shouted.
"No problem, wait a moment."
A middle-aged man working at a large counter in the back of the store responded with a smile, but because he was a little far away and had difficulty moving due to his limp, he just shouted, "Girl, there are customers. Come and greet them."
After shouting, the middle-aged man smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I'll be there right away."
Tententen~
As soon as the man finished speaking, the sound of slippers quickly stepping on the stairs could be heard.
The houses in Luoguxiang are all two-story buildings, and many of them are actually used for both commercial and residential purposes. The downstairs is usually used as a shop, various breakfast shops, snack stands, mahjong halls, etc., and the second floor with direct access by indoor stairs is used as living.
The house that Xia Xu rents now is actually the same, but the original tenant just used it to store sundries and didn't do any business there, and now he is even less likely to do it.
"You kid, why is your face so dusty and covered in flour? What did you do secretly?"
Accompanied by the sound of slippers stepping on the floor, a young girl in a white dress ran downstairs quickly. She was first greeted with the rebuke from the middle-aged man, and then she took a towel to wipe his face.
"No, the wall is dusty, I just rubbed it by accident."
The girl in the white dress hid her hands behind her back guiltily.
"That's strange. Is there a rat problem in our house recently? Why is there one less layer of meat filling before the weekend?"
The middle-aged man grumbled in a pretentious manner, but he let the girl in the white dress go. He hung the towel aside and urged her, "Go quickly. The guests are waiting. Two buns with meat filling."
"OK."
The girl lowered her head and ran to the steamer at the door of the store. Being a bit introverted, she didn't dare to look up at the customers. She just lifted the steamer swiftly and took out two meat buns from a small white plastic bag.
However, Xia Xu clearly saw that before the girl bent down to take the buns, she clearly put the two strange-shaped doughs that were suspected to be buns in her hand into a corner of the steamer, and she turned back with a guilty look at the lame middle-aged man who was busy working.
"Here, your buns, three dollars."
The girl said as she handed out the buns. Hmm, she still doesn't look people in the eye.
"Excuse me, can I have those two?"
Xia Xu smiled and pointed at the deformed bun that had just been put in.
"No! It's... not cooked yet, it's raw."
The girl in the white dress's mood and tone of voice underwent three changes in just a short moment: a reflexive and decisive rebuttal, a brilliant excuse that suddenly came to her mind while she was hesitating, and then she raised her head in confusion.
