Chapter 124 Rent a house!
When he arrived at the captain's house, Lu Xiaoli suddenly remembered that it would be polite to bring some gifts with him. After all, that's how it was written in novels.
She then asked, "Captain, do you know Mo Liyuan? He's the man who gave you the certificate."
The captain nodded and responded: "I know, he lives at the foot of the mountain.
Speaking of which, there are two empty houses in the village. One is a mud-brick house in the village, which is idle because the family has passed away;
The other one is at the foot of the mountain and was originally the residence of an old hunter.
Little girl, I suggest that the village is safer, as wild animals are more likely to appear at the foot of the mountain."
Lu Xiaoli immediately said, "Captain, I like quietness, so I decided to live at the foot of the mountain. How much is the rent? I'll give it to you later."
At this moment, Mo Liyuan's voice rang out: "Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao, you forgot to take something!" She took the bag with a puzzled look and asked softly: "Is this a mistake? This is not mine."
Mo Liyuan explained softly, "There's brown sugar and fruit candy in there. Give them to the captain's child. Use this money first."
Lu Xiaoli said gratefully: "You really helped a lot, I will return it to you later."
As she spoke, she carried her things into the captain's yard.
The aunt I met in the afternoon expressed her love for Lu Xiaoli beyond words when she saw him.
Lu Xiaoli handed the gift to the captain's wife and said, "Auntie, these are brown sugar and fruit candies to sweeten the children's mouths." When the children heard this, they immediately gathered around.
The captain's wife kept saying, "Oh, you're here now. What else did you bring? Come in and sit down."
At this time, the captain came out with the certificate.
Lu Xiaoli asked about the rent of the house at the foot of the mountain. Despite the captain's wife's repeated persuasion, she insisted on living there.
The captain said: "Although the small blue brick courtyard is at the foot of the mountain, even wild animals cannot get in.
The house has three rooms: one for living with a kang (a fire pit), one for the living room, and one for the kitchen. There's even a yard for growing vegetables, but it's not very big. According to the team's regulations, the monthly salary is six yuan."
Lu Xiaoli thought the price was too cheap, so he decided to rent it for a year. He counted out eighty yuan and gave it to the team leader, and asked for help in finding someone to clean the house.
The other party readily agreed, and Lu Xiaoli was filled with joy.
The captain only collected what was due, returned the remaining items, and shook his head slightly, saying:
“Don’t worry about the house. I’ll ask Xiao Mo to help you later, and you don’t have to pay.
I will also arrange for someone to deliver your food subsidy."
Lu Xiaoli thanked him repeatedly, and seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly said goodbye.
The captain's wife warmly persuaded him to stay: "Xiao Lu, you just arrived. You can take a day off tomorrow to buy some things. Come to my house for dinner when you are free!"
Lu Xiaoli smiled, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Lu Xiaoli saw Mo Liyuan not far away.
He said calmly, "I'll take you there. Your big bags are all there, and I've already tidied up the house for you."
Lu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Are you from this village?"
Mo Liyuan answered slowly, "I was raised by foxes in the mountains, and I don't know exactly where I'm from.
I was brought back to the village by villagers who went up the mountain, and grew up relying on the support of the villagers. Will you despise me? "
Lu Xiaoli felt sorry for her after hearing this and quickly comforted her, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up. How could I dislike it? I like foxes the most, except for that scumbag fox.
In fact, it’s the same as if I didn’t have parents; they never raised me.”
The two of them walked one in front and one behind, mainly to guard against the gossips of the village!
Soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Lu Xiaoli looked around and thought this place was pretty good, much better than the educated youth center.
Pushing open the courtyard door, the inside had been cleaned spotlessly. Lu Xiaoli secretly glanced at Mo Liyuan and thought to himself:
"Isn't this kid really a stinky fox? They look exactly the same, even the feeling and taste of kissing are the same, a light and refreshing fragrance.
No, a person’s appearance can be the same, but the birthmarks on their bodies should be different, right?
I remember seeing a crescent birthmark on his chest when we were taking a shower together. Hehe, I have to find a chance to verify it."
Seeing Lu Xiaoli in a daze, Mo Liyuan called out softly, "Xiaoxiao? What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"
Lu Xiaoli came back to his senses and smiled: "No... nothing. By the way, I still have to go to the educated youth camp to eat. Thank you, Brother Mo. I will return the Great Unity to you tomorrow, wait for me!"
After she finished speaking, she went into the house and found Mo Liyuan's package there, so she went out to remind him, "Brother Mo, you forgot to take your package!"
When Mo Liyuan heard this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and was stunned by the call of "Brother Mo".
He thought to himself: "This woman is very different, she has a feeling that is different from this era.
He reacted and said quickly: "These are all for you, don't be polite, I have plenty!"
He himself didn't understand why he was so obsessed with this woman.
In the past, he was like an iceberg. Many girls tried to get close to him, but in the end they all left disappointed.
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoli smiled gently: "Thank you, Brother Mo. I'll put all these on the account and return them to you tomorrow."
As she spoke, she gently opened the package, picked out a sausage and a can of beef sauce, and prepared to go to the educated youth camp for dinner.
She thought to herself that she couldn't appear too extravagant nor too shabby, since they might not eat together again in the future.
Before leaving, Lu Xiaoli turned around and waved to Mo Liyuan, who seemed to be standing at the door in a daze: "Brother Mo, I'm going to the educated youth center. Goodbye!"
Then she set out on the journey to the educated youth point.
Mo Liyuan followed her silently not far behind, escorting her until he saw her safely enter the educated youth point, and then he turned around and left with peace of mind.
