Arknights is too real, right?

morning.

Hurd frowned and looked carefully at Xia Feng's "headquarters" from the inside to the outside.

Then, the old man sighed.

"Remember to go home for lunch."

Leaving these words behind, Hurd shook his head and left.

Xia Feng could tell that the second uncle felt that the rent for his house was too expensive, and it was not that expensive. But after paying the money and signing the contract, the second uncle couldn't say anything else.

Ifrit walked to the door holding a broom.

"Big Windmill, what's wrong with my second uncle?"

"Nothing, just asking us to go back for lunch at noon."

"oh."

To be honest, although he spent a lot of money on instant noodles in his original world, in a real sense, he didn’t understand the concept of money very deeply. To him, money is for spending, just like Like krypton gold, what do you get?

In the eyes of others, you may not get anything, just a bunch of data, but in their own eyes, they get happiness, so the money spent is worth it.

Just like this decision at this moment, he knew that in the eyes of others, this house was expensive to rent, but Turtle and Ifrit liked it, and he and Brother ACE were also very satisfied. It was stupid to use other people's values ​​​​to measure one's own behavior. It's hard to buy happiness when you have money. Thinking about it this way, this house is actually not expensive at all.

But, I am happy. If I take a look at my wallet, my smile will gradually disappear.

He knows how to spend money, and he will gradually learn to make money in the future, but the problem is that he can't save money. In other words, he doesn't know how to manage money or settle accounts.

Not only him, but also after taking a look at the people in the room, none of them looked like they knew how to manage money.

It seems that he also needs a trustworthy and careful accountant, or a financial controller.

The location of the headquarters has been finalized, and there are still many things that need to be done next.

Although the house is large, it is empty inside. He needs to buy all the tables, chairs and furniture himself. Moreover, the four-story villa behind the yard is basically empty, and he needs to buy all kinds of daily necessities.

Looking at it this way, Xia Feng suddenly felt that one head was as big as two.

I remember that when he was a child, he moved once. After arriving at the new house, the adults cleaned and moved the furniture, but he only had to stand at the gate and play with a squirt gun. Within two days, the new house was decorated.

Looking at the empty house at this moment, Xia Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps, this is the price of growth.

After a busy morning, the headquarters was basically cleaned. Brother ACE threw away all the unnecessary debris. Charmander pouted and wiped the floor until it was shiny. Turtle cleaned the dust on the glass doors and some partitions. They were all wiped clean.

Xia Feng poured away the dirty water and brought in a basin of clean water.

"That's almost it. Come and wash your hands."

Due to financial problems, their subsequent furniture purchases were severely restricted.

Xia Feng thought carefully.

No one in this city except his second uncle knew them for the time being, so the so-called "face" no longer existed. The most important thing about furniture was practicality, so he needed to keep this standard to a minimum. If possible, he could even find some temporary ones. replacement of.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng turned back and said to Guigui and the others who were resting.

"You guys take a rest for a while, and I'll ask the landlady if she has any unused tables, chairs, benches or anything like that."

"oh."

Just as he walked out of the door, Xia Feng saw the young man with a shaved head playing football by himself again yesterday.

He knew that this man was the son of the landlady. He was in a hurry yesterday and didn't talk much. Since he was going to live here in the future, it was necessary to have a good relationship.

This young man is about thirteen or fourteen years old. Maybe because he is in the growth period, all the nutrients in his body are used to grow, and his arms and legs are skinny.

"Hey, we're playing with a ball."

The young man raised his head.

"Oh, it turns out to be you. I didn't expect that you actually rented it and are rich."

"."

Although Xia Feng is not a ferocious man, he can still be regarded as a half-society young man. When he saw this boy yesterday, he thought he was an introverted child. When he saw his demeanor, he immediately felt like a legendary creature and this boy. The boy overlapped.

The naughty kid in the alley.

Of course, he is no longer a little bear kid, but a big bear kid with a higher level of destructive power.

This kid is wearing a pair of broken sneakers, his skin is tanned, and his face and knees have the signature scrapes of a naughty kid. Coupled with the ugly crew cut that was obviously forced to be shaved by his mother, the whole person has only one temperament. The word to describe it is skin.

Realizing that Xia Feng was sizing him up, the boy curled his lips.

"What are you looking at?"

"Oh no"

"Watch the ball!"

"boom!"

The next second, the faces of Football and Xia Feng came into close contact.

"Bata!"

The football fell to the ground, and a piece of dust with football patterns was printed on Xia Feng's left face.

"Hahaha, you can't handle this, you're too stupid, uncle."

Xia Feng understood. It turned out that this boy was confused when he saw a group of strangers suddenly approaching yesterday. Now that he has become a neighbor, his naughty nature has finally been exposed.

Xia Feng gently wiped the dust from his face.

He wasn't angry at all, because he had figured out this kid's tricks.

"Boy, there will be a lot of time in the future, don't take the narrow road."

"Uncle, what do you mean? This road is quite wide, isn't it?"

Xia Feng crossed his arms.

"What's wrong with you, uncle? I'm only a few years older than you."

The boy with the crew cut looked unbelieving.

"How is that possible? I'm just 13 years old this year. I think you are in your thirties."

"Okay, okay, if I don't want to be with you, my name is Xia Feng. Please don't call me uncle from now on, call me brother."

"Then I'll call you Lao Xia."

"."

Xia Feng picked up the football, hooked the boy's shoulders and led him to the front steps.

"Come, let me chat with you."

"What are you talking about?"

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Ergou."

Xia Feng gave a thumbs up.

"Good name, it really suits you."

After a brief chat, Xia Feng learned that the family's surname was Li. Ergou's father had passed away in an accident early. Now only he and his mother lived here. Ergou's name was Li Tianye, and he was a listener. When he got up, he always called him "Zhaotian", but for some reason his nickname became "Ergou".

In fact, it's nothing. As the saying goes, it's easy to make a living by relying on fame, but Xia Feng noticed another thing that he cared about.

The surname is Li. This surname is very inconsistent with the style of painting in Victoria. People here generally never give their surname, only their first name or nickname. The surnames are basically Cook, Wood, Hall, Brink, etc.

Continuing the conversation, Xia Feng also learned one thing from Ergou.

His father died early, but he and his mother were not the only two people living together in the past. He originally had an older sister, but a few years ago, his older sister suddenly ran away from home and there has been no news since.
