Haishi is much more prosperous than Lushi. The textile industry here is very developed. There are many cloths of different colors in supply stores and shopping malls. Not only cloths, but also pots, bowls, ladles and other items are more abundant than in Lushi. Meng Xiaoman went to the shopping mall again. The colors, materials and styles of the clothes here were much more fashionable than those in Lu City.

Meng Xiaoman also noticed that in addition to regular clothes, the store also had a variety of fake collars, both men's and women's.

Seeing Meng Xiaoman's interest, a salesperson immediately introduced him enthusiastically, "Comrade, you have really good taste. This is a new fake collar style that has just been launched recently. The fabric is the best fabric from the city's textile mills, and the colors are also fashionable." New, high-end and modern, you look so beautiful, you will definitely be more beautiful wearing it.”

The salesperson was so enthusiastic, which made Meng Xiaoman a little uncomfortable. Because there is no shortage of customers, the salespeople in many department stores are very arrogant, and it would be great if they can look at you in a positive light. There are even cases where they don't like you and won't sell you things, and even worse, there are cases where they beat customers. Some department stores have signs saying "No beating of customers."

"I want to see it for myself. You can introduce it to other customers." There are other customers in the store, and Meng Xiaoman doesn't intend to buy, so he doesn't want to waste his time and energy.

When she said this, the salesperson was not angry, but said gently: "Okay, you can take a look first and call me if you need anything."

After visiting the department store, Meng Xiaoman checked the time. It was almost time for lunch. Thinking that Xiao Xiangdong should be over, he returned to the guest house.

"I haven't received the bedding and daily necessities for the time being. I will pick them up after we find a house. By the way, there is a professor in the military academy who has a vacant house that he can rent to us for a period of time. After dinner, we can go look at it together. look."

The old professor's house is a two-story old-fashioned alley. Originally, this set of alleys belonged to his family. Later, it was allocated by the state to other employees who had no houses. Now there are only three east and west wing rooms and a living room on the second floor. He lives in his own home.

He and his wife lived in the west wing, and the east wing was originally used by his son and daughter-in-law, but their work place was too far away and was inconvenient, so he thought of renting it out and using the rent to rent a new house near his work.

"The beds and furniture here are all ready-made and you can use them. You can cook in the stove room downstairs, but you have to bring your own stove and kitchen utensils. There is a two-and-a-half-story rooftop above where you can dry clothes."

The east wing has an area of ​​fifteen or six square meters, with a bed, two wooden wardrobes against the wall, a long desk and two chairs. The furniture is all in the style of the Republic of China. Although it has heavy signs of use, the quality is very good and the style is elegant. The owner must have been a wealthy family in the past.

The east wing is on the second floor and has a south-facing window. Meng Xiaoman is also quite satisfied with this. It is rainy and humid in Haishi in spring, so it is impossible not to see the sun.

The house was nice, but I didn't know how the neighbors were. Meng Xiaoman asked who lived in the living room.

"The living room is full of sundries now and no one is living there, so you don't have to worry about making noise." The old professor explained.

The two were quite satisfied with the house and discussed the price with the professor. The old professor asked for 18 yuan a month, but Meng Xiaoman thought it was too expensive. The two bargained for a long time, and finally agreed on 15 yuan a month. However, since the rent was only for three months, they had to pay it all at once.

Housing in Haishi has always been tight and expensive, so it is common for a family to live in one house. Although there was some physical pain, the two of them signed the contract in order to live more comfortably.

After signing the contract, paying the money, and getting the keys, the two went to the guest house to get their luggage. After getting their luggage, Xiao Xiangdong went to the school to get bedding and daily necessities.

The daily necessities issued by the military academy are quite complete, including a pair of porcelain jars, two lunch boxes, a thermos bottle, and a porcelain basin. In addition, there are toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and two towels.

In addition, there are various bills such as food stamps, meat stamps, gas stamps, bathing stamps, and even monthly bus passes and several park tickets.

"You guys are treated pretty well."

"Well, it is said that they are all senior officers, and my rank is the lowest." It's a blessing and a curse. If it weren't for that report, he wouldn't have been able to study this time.

"By the way, there is also a grocery store. Eating vegetables here is not as convenient as at home. You have to go to the grocery store to buy it. There is also a vegetable station, which is very close to here. I just asked the old professor about it. Let's talk about it later. Let's go and take a look." When the original owner was not in the countryside, it was her job to buy groceries. It was a hard job. She had to get up early in the morning and queue up, and she couldn't get anything in short supply. The original owner was often scolded because he could not buy food or the food he bought was not fresh.

Although the second floor is clean and quiet, it is very inconvenient to use water. You need to go to the tap in the backyard to pick up water and then go to the second floor. The two did not buy buckets, so they had to use basins to catch them.

After scrubbing all the furniture in the room, the two made a list of the missing items and went to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative to purchase them.

Although he only stayed for three months, he still had to live the same life as before. He had to buy more stoves, buckets, pots and ladles. Looking at the increasing number of things in his hands and the gradually shrinking pockets, Meng Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known I would If I don't come with you, it will cost money and waste the tickets. All the tickets I have saved up with great difficulty will be almost used now. "

The military academy has dormitories and canteens. If she didn't come, Xiao Xiangdong could live in the dormitory and eat in the canteen. There would be so many troubles.

"I can earn more money and tickets. If it's not enough, I can find someone to exchange for more. The most important thing is that we can be together every day."

"I didn't expect you to be a love brain."

"What brain? What is a love brain?"

Meng Xiaoman explained the meaning to him. Unexpectedly, he nodded in agreement after listening, "Then I have a bit of a love brain. However, I don't quite agree with what you said. Isn't it right to put your lover first? This should be considered a good quality, how can it be considered a disease?"

"Um, you're right." Meng Xiaoman suddenly felt that what he said made sense. Although everyone said that love brain is not good, as the object of love brain, the experience is still good. Such as her at this moment.

After returning home, it was time to clean up again. Xiao Xiangdong washed the things and realized that he had forgotten to buy a kettle.
