Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

After lunch, brother and sister Xu Shiyan chatted with Mr. Chu for a while.

Elder Chu was old and had to take a nap at noon, so the brother and sister bid farewell and left.

In the afternoon, Chi Hao arranged for someone to take Mr. Chu to the hospital. Together with a group of orthopedic surgeons, they discussed and made several surgical plans based on Xu Shiqin's examination results.

On the morning of the tenth, Xu Shiyan brought his younger sister to the hospital to go through the hospitalization procedures.

With Chi Hao taking care of him, he arranged a ward with a double room, and only Xu Shiqin lived in it for the time being.

After Xu Shiqin was hospitalized, he had to undergo a series of more detailed examinations to prepare for the operation.

The operation was scheduled for the morning of the 12th, and Xu Shiyan hurried to the post office to send a telegram while the hospital was fine.

Xu Shiqin had to tell Han Liwei about Xu Shiqin's operation.

After sending the telegram, Xu Shiyan didn't go back to the hospital directly, but wandered around, trying to find a house to live in.

Living in a hotel all day is not enough, it is too expensive, and eating is also a problem.

The hotel they are currently staying in is considered a good mid-range hotel. The price for a room for two is 2.5 yuan a day. Breakfast is porridge, Lianghe noodles, steamed buns, and pickles.

Regardless of noon or night, I have to find another place to buy food.

Two taels of white flour steamed buns cost four cents each, and Xu Shiyan can eat two of them.

Corn flour cakes are cheaper, seventy cents a catty, half a catty is just right for Xu Shiqin.

But there are side dishes, a meal is considered a dish, at least four or five cents, and some seven or eight cents or even more.

Xu Shiyan can still make do with it, but if he can't, a bowl of Tuixiu soup can solve it.

Xu Shiqin couldn't do it, he had to eat some good nutritional supplements, and the food cost was nearly two yuan a day.

Four or five yuan a day for food and lodging, one hundred and forty fifty yuan a month, three months? This calculation is actually quite scary.

If you rent a house, the rent is only ten yuan or eight yuan. Xu Shiyan lives alone, so it doesn't need to be too big, as long as there is a place to cook.

If you inquire about a house, you have to find an older person.

There happened to be a park nearby, so Xu Shiyan went for a stroll.

The provincial capital is also cold in November, but it is much warmer than the Changbai Mountain area.

There are some old men near the park, looking for a sunny place to set up a chessboard, and basking in the sun while playing chess.

Xu Shiyan also leaned over, commenting and pointing fingers with the group of old men watching the fun.

After a little longer, the group of old men noticed Xu Shiyan.

"You young man, if you don't go to work, what are you doing here among us old men?"

Someone looked at Xu Shiyan curiously and asked casually.

"Master, I don't go to work, I come to the province to do errands.

I want to ask a few people, is there any house nearby that rents out?

It doesn't need to be big, just a room and a place to cook. "Xu Shiyan smiled and explained to others.

There are quite a few old men in this group, and some of them were moved when they heard it.

"Young man, how long do you want to live? If it's for three days and two mornings, then you might as well stay in a hotel, no one will rent it to you."

As soon as Xu Shiyan heard that it was a door, he hurriedly replied, "Master, I guess I can live there for three months.

To tell you the truth, my sister is sick and hospitalized in the Medical University Hospital, and it will take three months.

You said that if I stayed in the hotel for three months, I wouldn't be able to afford the money.

So I thought about renting a house, and I can cook some food myself. Wouldn't this save money? "

Xu Shiyan was honest, so he told others why he wanted to rent a house.

Don’t say no, you can’t do it, people from other places come to the provincial capital to rent a house, they are afraid that you are a bad person who will do bad things.

"Hey, what's wrong? You have to be hospitalized for three months? Poor.

That's true, if you eat and live even for three months, you can earn a lot of money. It's not as cost-effective as renting a house. "

When everyone heard this, they all sympathized with Xu Shiyan.

Regardless of the year and month, it's always the same sentence, don't be sick if you have anything, don't have money if you don't have anything.

If a person is sick and hospitalized, the money is spent like running water.

"Young man, there is an empty room in my house, not far from the hospital. If you want to live in it, come with me to have a look."

Over there, an old man spoke first.

"That's kind, sir, can I trouble you once and lead me to have a look?"

Xu Shiyan became happy when he heard it, and it turned out that this trick was used correctly.

The old man stopped watching the excitement, and led Xu Shiyan back.

Sure enough, in the alley opposite the hospital, after walking around for a while, I came to a small courtyard.

"Several children in my family are not around, and there are only me and my wife in the house.

The Westinghouse is vacant and no one lives there, and the children will come back after Chinese New Year. If you live for three months, it's just right, and there will be no delay. "

The old man opened the door and yelled into the courtyard, and saw an old lady in her sixties coming out of the house.

"Old lady, this young man's younger sister is hospitalized in the Medical University Hospital and wants to find a house to live in.

I wondered if our Westinghouse was idle, why not let the young man live for three months? "The old man discussed with his wife.

When the old lady heard it, it was fine, three months is not yet the Chinese New Year, so it won't delay the children's coming back to live.

Anyway, if the house is idle, it is idle, and it has to be burned in vain. If it is rented out, there will be some money for a month.

"Okay, I see that the young man is an honest man, come on, let's talk in the room, let's have a good discussion."

Don't worry about the city and the countryside, who isn't living a tight life these days?

Rent out a room, earn ten yuan and eight yuan, and buy a few more catties of meat to eat, which is very good.

The old couple warmly greeted Xu Shiyan to enter the room, Xu Shiyan was not polite, and followed into the east room.

This house should also be a public house, not too big, it looks like a small three.

The east room is occupied by an old couple. There is a kang on the north side, which has a kang piano, a cabinet and so on, and there is a radio on the box.

A few chairs were placed under the south window, and three or four flower pots were placed on the window sill, all of which were Clivia.

The old couple greeted Xu Shiyan to sit down, and the old lady poured a glass of water for Xu Shiyan, and then they began to discuss the house.

"The west house is not as big as the east house, anyway, two or three people can live there.

You want to rent a house and cook for yourself, right? Then you must have no luggage or household items.

Then, I will provide you with luggage, firewood, pots and pans, even the house, you can give me 30 yuan a month, how about it? "

The old lady is a very shrewd person. After chatting with Xu Shiyan for a while, she probably figured out what was going on, so it cost 30 yuan a month to open her mouth.

When the old man next to him heard it, he was almost startled.

Who has ever heard of a house that costs 30 yuan a month? Is the price too high? "Old woman, what are you doing?"

The old man tugged at his wife's skirt and asked in a low voice.

"Leave it alone." The old lady glared at her husband.

Stupid, I finally met a renter, so I have to earn some money.

Besides, if she asks for a price, she still has to bargain, so what's the rush?

When Xu Shiyan heard that it was thirty, he frowned slightly. This price was a bit different from what he expected.

But if you think about it carefully, you can accept it. People have said that, and they still use bedding, pots and pans.

He can't buy a set of all these household items, can he? What do you do when you're waiting to go home? It's too long-winded to take it home, isn't it a prodigal if you throw it away?

It's fine if he can use this one, and it's enough for him to buy some bowls and chopsticks.

"Ma'am, it costs a lot of money for my sister to be treated in the hospital, can you lower the rent?

Twenty yuan, I really can't afford more. "
