Chapter 168 Moving
Several people chatted in the room for a while. At lunch time, Xu Nuo pulled Tong Yao and Chen Huizhen and said that she wanted to treat her. She still kept the thousands of dollars she had from Tong Yao.
After dinner, Tong Yao asked her mother about the money she had, plus her own, and finally included the promise left. The three of them could make up more than 23,000 yuan in total.
With the money, the three of them went to purchase separately. Tong Yao was responsible for buying furniture. Because of the money, she didn't dare to buy too much at one time, so she could only buy two beds first, and then buy a few tables, chairs, etc.
Xu Nuo went to the commodity market in the city. When it was dark, she sat on an electric tricycle and pulled a whole truck of daily necessities.
I have basically bought all the quilts, mattresses, washbasins, and smaller soaps, toothbrushes and the like.
Chen Huizhen is responsible for purchasing kitchen supplies, pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as ingredients to eat at night.
When it got dark, the three of them gathered together in sweat, and only more than 500 yuan were spent, but they bought all the things they needed for their lives for the time being.
After closing the door, Xu Nuo took off his heavy coat and sighed.
"It's better to have money. Look at this house, the floor heating is covered. It's not cold when wearing short-sleeved sleeves in the middle of winter. There is also 24-hour hot water, so it's so convenient to take a shower. Unfortunately, our living expenses this month are a bit tight, but it doesn't matter. Zheng Jia will come after the New Year and let her bleed some more!"
So Xu Nuo really settled down here. The three of them had dinner in the evening and then started to put things in.
Actually, there is nothing to settle for. Two beds, one for Chen Huizhen, the other one for Tong Yao and Xu Nuo are all squeezed together. The other one is bedding and toiletries.
The next day, Xu Nuo took a leave and accompanied Tong Yao to the landlord's handful of Zheng Jia and his luggage, and brought the computer over, and then checked the landlord's room.
As a result, after I got back, I found that there was no Internet in the villa and the computer could only be used to save manuscripts and could not be published at all.
Helplessly, she went to pull the cheapest network cable for the remaining few hundred yuan.
When it was New Year's Eve, Fatty Yu also came to have a free meal. The four of them were eating dumplings around the table. The family had not bought a TV, so they could only use Tong Yao's computer to watch it. The network was too stuck, so they would be stuck for a while after watching it.
In the end, everyone was in a state of indifference. After eating dumplings, Fatty Yu was driven away by Xu Nuo. Then the three girls sat in the living room, watching the fireworks outside through the glass.
Although there are still many regrets this New Year, such as the family failed to watch TV, there was not even a decent light at home, and the toilet was just a hole...
But Tong Yao, Chen Huizhen and Xu Nuo were all full of excitement and happiness.
Because here, they no longer have to worry about others taking strange looks, because here, no one sarcastics, because here, no one will point at her back and say sarcastic...
On February 22nd, on the fifth day of the lunar month, Zheng Jia once again carried two large bags of mountain goods to the rental house. As a result, he went upstairs to get the key and opened the door, he became stunned in an instant.
In the rental house, there was no newspaper. Her first reaction was that she had entered the thief, but suddenly she realized that if she entered the thief, how could she steal it so cleanly? She even stole the toothbrush and cup?
She was just silly when she heard the rough shouts of the landlord and aunt from downstairs.
"Zheng Jia! Come on, come on, Tong Yao left you a note and she moved it away!"
"Ah? Oh..."
Zheng Jia carried two big bags and went downstairs with difficulty.
"Auntie, has Tong Yao moved away?"
"Yes, just a few days ago, I came with another girl who often came to visit me, saying that I had found a new place to live and moved all the things over. By the way, I left a note for you when she left."
The landlord and aunt were quite responsible and rolled this note together with the money every day.
Zheng Jia took the note and looked at it. There was only one address on it.
She was speechlessly carrying two large woven bags, biting the note, and then going out to stop a taxi.
When I arrived at the place, I just rang the doorbell, but a strange woman came out. The woman's face was covered with scars, which scared Zheng Jia. She thought she had knocked on the wrong door.
"Zheng Jia? Haha, I finally waited for you to come. Let me introduce it. This is my mom, mom, this is Zheng Jia, you know."
Tong Yao poked her head out from behind Chen Huizhen, pulled Zheng Jia into the door with a smile, and then introduced them to each other.
"Oh, hehe, I have heard of you. I have never seen you. Welcome, come on, come in quickly."
Chen Huizhen greeted Zheng Jia with a smile and politely let her into the house.
Before Zheng Jia could show everyone the mountain goods she brought this year, she asked Tong Yao an impatient question.
"How much does it cost to rent this place for a month? Are you too generous, right? Will we live here in the future? Will it be too wasteful for a few of us to live in such a big house? Also, will it be too biased?"
"Haha, this is not rented, it was bought by me. We will live here in the future, but we have a house and there are no other ones, because my manuscript has been spent. Now I will wait for you to move in with your wallet. From now on, my mother lives downstairs, I, you promise to live upstairs, one person and one room. If the weather is good, you can also make a bbq on the balcony on the second floor."
"Ah? I bought it? This... How much does this cost... Oh, I almost forgot that you are not short of money now..."
Speaking of this, Zheng Jia felt a little lonely. During the three years of college, she was a few thousand yuan a month. Tong Yao was basically in full attendance at that time, but unexpectedly, she was now a god with a book. In more than half a year, she not only paid back 5 million yuan in accounts, but also bought a villa with royalties.
Although she has a lot of royalties, she will be in a difficult situation if she wants to buy this villa.
This is more than just a house, it means that she will be able to live with her family. Now, Tong Yao has reached the point and brought her mother over, but what about herself? Grandpa is still eating sweet potato noodles in the mountains...
Seeing her like this, Tong Yao hugged her intimately and said with a smile.
"I heard that you live with your grandfather, or you should take it over. Anyway, we have enough houses to let the elderly live with us and take care of each other in life."
Zheng Jia shook her head with relief.
"I originally wanted to take my grandfather to the city just like you, but he refused."
"Why?"
"He said... he lived in the village all his life and was not used to going outside."
Tong Yao was stunned and instantly understood the emotion when her mother left the village. It was a kind of unreasonable reluctance and attachment. No matter how the villagers excluded it, it was the place where she had lived for half her life. How could she let go just like herself?
"and you……"
"It's okay, I respect my grandfather's choice. At worst, I will go back to accompany him more in the future. We writers do not choose places to create, so we still write with a notebook home. At worst, we can just publish more regular manuscripts in advance."
"Well, that's OK."
