Rebirth and Raising a Baby

Someone outside is calling for a queue.

The two also left the room.

Concerned about Lin Ling's situation, Chu Yi had long forgotten his checked luggage.

He was pulling two suitcases, and looked at Lin Ling worriedly from time to time.

After queuing up to the pier.

Looking at the completely different scene in front of them, both of them were in a daze.

What was presented in front of them was a neatly decorated concrete floor, which was too big to be seen at a glance.

The people around were dressed in rags, all of them had sad faces, their faces were covered with the marks of time, they were even worse than the dock workers in Pengcheng.

But the tourists around are all glamorous.

Or wearing a suit and leather shoes, or wearing a foreign skirt, wearing jewelry, how can one be rich and honorable.

This creates a huge contrast.

Chu Yi was not used to it, coupled with the unfamiliar environment, he couldn't help but look at Lin Ling even more nervously.

"Daughter-in-law, grab my clothes and don't get lost!"

Facing Chu Yi's worries, Lin Ling could only accept them completely.

"Do not worry!"

She has also been to Hong Kong City several times, so she is more familiar with it than Chu Yi.

Besides, she still has room!

I really ran into danger, and I hid in the space, but I still don't know who is calling for help!

Outside the scope of the dock, the surrounding environment is much more normal.

On the spacious main road, convenience stores and telephone booths can be seen everywhere on the street.

From time to time, one or two pedestrians who speak Cantonese pass by.

"Sir, madam, do you need help?"

A young man came up.

He was only seven or eight years old, short and thin, like a malnourished bamboo pole.

His appearance is not dark, but he has a bright smile on his face under the sun.

People saw it, and couldn't help but want to smile back.

"What can you do for us?"

Chu Yi was a little funny.

What is the use of such a child?

At this age, at most he was helping the family with errands.

"Sir, I'm very capable, don't underestimate me!"

The child refused to admit defeat, held his head high, and had a fighting spirit on his face.

Back on the flat land again, Lin Ling felt much better. Seeing such an interesting kid now made her a little interested.

"Then tell me, what can you do to help us?"

It seemed that Lin Ling's attitude made him feel respected, and the child finally showed a serious look.

He said solemnly: "With a radius of several miles around the pier, I can find out what you want to know!"

"Then tell me, is there any cheap and good hotel nearby?"

Chu Yi asked amusedly.

Originally, I planned to take a look at the map by myself, find a hotel to live in, and then slowly look at the house to rent.

But in Lin Ling's situation, Chu Yi didn't dare to delay.

Now he wants to find a place to settle down quickly so that his wife can rest.

"You're right to ask me that question!"

The child said proudly, "I know there is a very good hotel nearby. The proprietress's craftsmanship is very good, and the room is also clean! I guarantee you will be absolutely satisfied!"

Chu Yi showed a mocking expression, "Really? I don't believe it!"

The child was anxious, and he jumped up and promised, "It's really good, I guarantee you won't regret it after reading it! And the price is very cheap! It's not expensive!"

The child promises again and again.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi saw it.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go!"

Chu Yi didn't take the child's words seriously.

How can any hotel be good and cheap, which does not conform to the price system!
Lin Ling didn't have any idea at first, but she suddenly became curious.

But for some reason, seeing the anxious look of the child, I suddenly became sympathetic and a little reluctant.

She pulled down Chu Yi's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Why don't we go take a look with him?"

Chu Yi's eyes widened sharply.

"Daughter-in-law, are you kidding me?"

"Aren't you uncomfortable? I was thinking of taking you back to rest early!"

How can there be any time to listen to a child bragging here!
Unable to resist Lin Ling, the two finally came to the hotel the child had mentioned.

As expected, they were scammed.

The imaginary hotel, the sunny beach swimming pool is very luxurious
The "hotel" in front of me can be regarded as a residential building at best.

Chu Yi turned his head and wanted to leave with his luggage.

Lin Ling held him back.

"Come all come!"

These words successfully kept Chu Yi.

Also.

Come on, let's see what lies the kid can make up.

And his wife was still seasick just now, even if this so-called "hotel" is not satisfactory, taking a rest shouldn't be a problem, right? ? ?

The child was still anxious at first, and he lowered his head and waited for the result as if death was at home. He was relieved when he saw Lin Ling holding Chu Yi back.

Then he ran in excitedly.

While running, he shouted "Mom, I'm back!"

"Where did you die? Did you bring back the soy sauce you bought?"

There is concern in the woman's reprimanding words.

It's a very common mother's tone.

After a while, a woman walked out of it.

Her hair was pulled up, and she was wearing a gray-blue gown and trousers.

He has a handsome appearance, but the corners of his eyes are full of wrinkles due to hard work.

Looks about 30 years old.

Seeing Lin Ling and Chu Yi, she also froze for a moment.

Subconsciously, she wiped her wet hands on the hem of the clothes in front of her, and then hurried forward to say hello.

"Sorry, you were fooled by this kid again, right?"

The woman looked apologetic.

"I'll apologize to you guys. This kid sees that the business in my store is not good, so he's always messing around outside. I've told him many times that it doesn't work!"

It sounds like this kid's own initiative?
In the next second, the child dismantled the stage.

"Mom, last time you said I was smart!"

"I don't care, I brought it to you, you can't lose my commission!"

The child's cheeks are bulging, and that look, it looks like if you repent, I will immediately lie down on the ground and start rolling.

"Stinky boy, isn't it okay for Grandma to say a few polite words?"

Being demolished by her own son, the woman looked a little embarrassed.

But it was also let go.

Greeted with a smile.

"Oh, sir and wife, don't look at the dilapidated outside of my hotel, but the inside is actually very new. I take out the sheets and quilts to dry every day!"

"Do you think you want to live for a week or a month? If you live for a long time, I will get a discount here!"

The woman greeted him familiarly, without any embarrassment.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi looked at each other.

The mother and son look so skilled, it seems that they are not the first to be deceived.

Thinking about it this way made me feel a lot better.

"Daughter-in-law, why don't we go?"

Chu Yi wanted to retreat again.

Lin Ling thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Take me to see your room here!"

One is that they have come here, and the other one, she thinks maybe this place is more suitable than a hotel?

Of course, this was just her momentary thought.

Whether it can be done or not depends on the environment of the room.

"Oh, no problem, I'll take you up right now!"

"Which floor do you want a room on? We have the second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor, and the sixth floor. Oh no, the sixth floor is a rooftop. It can only dry clothes and quilts, but it cannot accommodate people!"

Halfway through the talk, the woman amused herself.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi were ashamed. Is this really the proprietress?

No, is there really someone living in this hotel?

The proprietress took them all the way.

Go straight to your destination.

It didn't look like the room was empty.

Lin Ling left a doubt in his heart.

It really doesn't look like there are people living in such a quiet appearance!
What about those people?

"Hey, this is the best room in our hotel!"

The proprietress said proudly.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi stepped in dubiously.

The room is quite big with a small balcony.

There is a 1.5-meter large bed in the room, with a bedside table next to it, and a dresser on the side, side by side with the bed and the bedside table.

There is no taboo.

There is also a coffee table and sofa at the end, and a telephone.

Well, Lin Ling and Chu Yi fell into deep thought.

This damn familiar!

Dude, isn't it just like their room on a cruise ship?

The scenery outside the window has changed.

From the scenery of the sea to the scenery of the property market, there is a little more breath of life
"This room only costs 1000 yuan a month, how about it?"

The proprietress looked at the two expectantly.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi looked at each other.

I have a strange feeling in my heart.

For a room on a cruise ship, the tickets for two people plus various expenses add up to more than 1000.

After all, this room is actually quite a bargain?

After all, it can live for a month!
But Lin Ling quickly regained his composure.

Every inch of land on the cruise ship is expensive, and it also has a sea view, which is usually very rare.

And this place, not to mention the location, but the house is at least ten years old.

It's not enough for the price.

"Miss Boss, you are not real!"

"Let's talk about the price."

Lin Ling pretended to be very knowledgeable.

In fact, she didn't know how much the monthly rent for this kind of house was.

However, due to the prudence of businessmen, there is always room for adjustment in the first bid.

The proprietress clicked her tongue, scratched her head in distress, and said tentatively, "Hey, then eight hundred?"

Lin Ling and Chu Yi looked at each other.

Otherwise, just rent this?

Wife, are you sure?

Seeing that they were still not satisfied, the proprietress became anxious, and quickly negotiated the price again.

"Six hundred, six hundred, right?"

"just OK."

"I still have conditions!"

Lin Ling didn't expect to be able to reduce another two hundred just by discussing with her eyes, and her heart became more and more determined. It seems that there is still room for this price.

"What conditions?"

The proprietress looked at the two suspiciously.

Wouldn't it be lowered again?

"I can live with you, but all these things have to be moved, and I want a vacant room."

"And I need a stove to cook every day!"

"That's it?"

The proprietress was a little taken aback, she didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

Don't want her bed and furniture, good thing!

Save her going back and cleaning it up.

It's just a bit of a hassle to move around.
It doesn't matter, there are so many unlucky people in the building for her to order!

"However, what do you want to do with the empty room?"

The proprietress was a little puzzled.

Do rich people have so many problems?
"As for the furniture, I will buy it myself, so I won't bother you!"

Lin Ling refused with a smile.

The proprietress nodded.

Fine.

Rich people can be so willful!
"That?"

The lady boss rubbed her fingers.

"Go check it out!"

Lin Ling gave Chu Yi a look.

Chu Yi nodded and walked into the house.

Corner, including under the bed, in the drawer under the sofa.
Checked every corner.

"What are you looking for?"

The landlady's eyes were clouded.

Could it be that there is no treasure in her house?
"no!"

Chu Yi came back to report.

"That's good!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Lin Ling was finally relieved.

What Chu Yi did was to check if there were any cockroaches in the house.

It's not that she's afraid of cockroaches, she just doesn't like her things being soiled.

If the clothes and food are crawled by cockroaches, she will be very upset!

"What are you looking for?"

the proprietress asked weakly.

Chu Yi glanced at her: "Cockroach!"

"Oh, don't worry, my place is very clean, there are no cockroaches, and even mice don't come!"

"When will the furniture be emptied? Do you arrange it here?"

Lin Ling asked.

The proprietress came back to her senses and nodded quickly: "I'll come, I'll come!"

"But it's going to be later, everyone in my store has gone out, so I won't be back until later!"

"Fine!"

Lin Ling didn't care either.

She has recovered a lot since coming off the cruise.

Now just take this opportunity to sit and rest for a while.

Seeing her intentions, Chu Yi quickly took out a towel from the suitcase and spread it on the sofa.

The corner of the landlady's mouth slightly tilted.

Why does this guy look like an ear rake?
Or are they not husband and wife?
She looked like a subordinate.
And the whole process is done by women.

"Is there any discount for long-term rental?"

Lin Ling looked at the proprietress and asked.

"Ah, long-term lease? How long is that?"

Although the word is not very familiar, the proprietress still has a rough understanding of its meaning.

"What if it's a year?"

"One year!!!"

The proprietress couldn't help shouting out loud.

A little guy outside the door also screamed.

"Grandma, I found a big order, you must pay me double!"

The little boy actively fights for his own interests.

The proprietress spat at him: "While the kid is going, didn't you see the old lady talking about business?"

"Okay, tell me!"

The little boy covered his mouth with unconcealable joy.

"Five hundred percent?"

The proprietress tried to give a price.

Lin Ling thought about it and agreed.

"Okay, let's sign a contract!"

The proprietress twitched her lips.

She never expected that her little broken building would be able to sign a contract one day!

Lin Ling simply wrote some regulations.

For example, during the stay, the proprietress needs to contract water and electricity to ensure normal quietness at night, and is not allowed to ask for a rent increase in the middle of the stay, and cannot open the door privately.
The proprietress looked at it and found that it was not a difficult task, so she signed it casually.

"Then, the rent?"

Both mother and son looked at Lin Ling eagerly.

Lin Ling wanted to laugh a little.

With a look, he beckoned Chu Yi to give the money.

Five hundred a month, the annual rent is 6000 yuan.

When they came over, they exchanged some Hong Kong dollars, so it was not embarrassing at the moment.

The proprietress couldn't believe it when she received the money.

Grabbing the money, she counted and counted, and finally kissed her.

The little boy hopped his feet to reach it.

"Mom, let me see it too!"

"I haven't seen 6000 yuan yet!"

Before leaving, Lin Ling warned, "Miss Boss, regarding our long-term lease and the rent, please keep it secret and don't disclose it to the outside world!"

She also thought of it temporarily.

It is easy for her to take out 6000 yuan in one breath, but she is afraid that someone else will have bad intentions.

"Don't worry, I won't talk about it!"

The proprietress was thinking about 6000 yuan, so she agreed without hesitation.

People can't help but wonder if she heard clearly.
