Six hundred taels of silver can buy a large house with four bedrooms and a front and backyard in Xiaoyuan Town, but in the capital, it can only buy an old house in Ninghe Lane that has been abandoned for nearly ten years, with two bedrooms and a kitchen. Inside the courtyard, the courtyard is pitifully small.
Looking at the desolate and dilapidated house in front of him, Yuan Hao let out a long sigh. He missed his big house in Xipo Village. The blue brick house was spacious and bright, and even the wind was sweet.
But here, the eyes are full of decay and dilapidation, and the eyes are filled with dust and filth.
"It looks good to me. I can live in it after packing up." Yuan Qiu has always been optimistic. Living in a house of his own is better than those who live in the streets, starve and freeze, or look at the landlord's eyes all the time, right
Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Yuan Hao thought about what his sister said and swept away the haze in his heart. He rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Then let's get started. We have to pack it up before the sun goes down."
The two siblings worked hard for a while, wiping the tables, chairs, beds and stools in the house, sweeping away the accumulated cobwebs and thick dust, cleaning out the unused junk items from the house, and tidying up the messy yard. They were busy until the evening.
It's always easy to get hungry after doing physical work. Yuan Hao was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, and his stomach growled, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he kept drinking water.
Yuan Qiu saw that many of the utensils in the kitchen were unusable, and there were no ingredients for cooking, so he suggested going out to eat. Yuan Hao immediately responded. He put down everything in his hands and ran to the gate of the courtyard to wait for Yuan Qiu.
Yuan Qiu laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight. This boy was so cute.
Ninghe Lane is not very big, but there is a small street that runs across the entire Ninghe Lane. The length of the small street is only six to seven hundred meters by visual inspection.
In such a small street, there are actually many shops. Needless to say, those selling food are the most popular. There are also those selling cotton, butcher shops, pastry shops, wine shops, cooked vegetable shops, and all kinds of things that can be used in daily life. Everything is available here.
This is like a poor man's market. There are no high-end items, only daily necessities. Naturally, the selling prices are cheaper than those in shops outside.
Rich people don't want to come here, and poor people can't afford to buy things outside. They live in hiding in their own world, as if they don't belong to this bustling capital, and as if this city has forgotten them.
The two siblings went to a small noodle shop not far from their home for a meal. Each ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a plate of meat buns.
Not to mention, the shop is small and shabby, but the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper is no worse than that of chefs in restaurants outside. The soup is rich and fragrant, the noodles are chewy, and the meat is generous and thick. It can be said that he is a rare conscientious businessman.
Yuan Qiu is a good cook and doesn't easily praise others, because she rarely eats things that make her want to praise her. But today's bowl of beef noodles, she sincerely gave a thumbs up to the old lady who owned the shop. : "Mom, your cooking skills are extraordinary! It's really delicious."
When the aunt heard someone praising her, she smiled from ear to ear, waved her hands and said: "Young people are sweet-mouthed, here are the tiger eggs that were just made, take them to try." The aunt said and brought a small The plate came over. There were two steaming yellow and bright tiger eggs in the small plate, which looked very tempting.
"Thank you very much. The portion is too big. We are all full. Let's take the buns and tiger eggs back and eat them later."
The aunt hurriedly took a piece of butter paper and quickly wrapped the buns and tiger eggs in it: "You look very handsome, do you live in Ninghe Lane?"
