Humanoid weapons laid-off and re-employment
Chapter 18
"The little master is back," she said.
This is an old lady who looks benevolent but somewhat subtle, wearing a pea blue cheongsam with a button-down top, her hair neatly combed.
"How do you address it?" Xia Ye always used 'you' to the old man, but this time it didn't work.
"My surname is Liu, you can call me Granny Liu."
Just as she was talking, the gate opened automatically, and the beast's head with a copper ring on it yelled: "Grandma Liu is really nagging, it's the first time for the little master to come back, please pass through the main gate."
Xia Ye stepped over the high threshold, and there was a small room on the right, with the door tightly closed.
"That's the porter. If you find a suitable doorman in the future, this is the residence." Granny Liu said with a smile.
Granny Liu led him out of the gate, around a stone screen, through a hanging flower arch, and into the narrow courtyard formed by the inverted house and white walls.There are seven rooms in a row, which are larger than what you see from the outside.Here is another gate, which is set in the middle, unlike the outer gate which is set in the southeast corner.
Walking into the gate, you will see a large patio and a room with a closed door. It is on the second floor, and the upper floor is a row of closed wooden windows.This is the courtyard where he will live. The courtyard is very large, with three main rooms in the front and two side rooms on both sides, a total of five rooms.In the middle is the main room, and on both sides are houses.
There are wing rooms on both sides of the yard, three rooms on one side, and the one on the right is converted into a study.
"This is the master's courtyard. There is also a small courtyard on the left, which can be used by the little master. There is a garden on the right. Do you want to go and see it?"
Through the corner door on the left, you will indeed enter a slightly smaller yard, which also has a small garden with many plants planted in it.
He went to the right again. Granny Liu said it was a small garden, but in fact it was not small. There was one or two acres. There was a lotus pond in it. There were lotus flowers, koi and rockery in the pond, and there were water corridors and fish viewing pavilions beside the pond. .There is a tall willow tree with stone tables and stone piers under the tree, and various flowers and plants in other places.
This garden is also connected to the back room. In the old days, the back room was mostly used by the wives, concubines and children of the back house.It is divided into three courtyards, most of which are now empty, and the smaller half is used as a utility room.
As for the kitchen, it is in the southwest corner, and the toilet is in the northwest corner.
"It's quite big, how flat is it here?" Xia Ye asked.
"It's not big," Granny Liu said, "that's less than ten acres of land." There was a hint of disgust in her words.
"It's really a big family..." The system who turned the house around together sighed again and again, "Can't tell, the host is still a rich second generation?"
It doesn't know that Xia Ye is going to cry at this moment. In such a big place, not to mention the water and electricity bills in the future, the decoration cost is also a big one.
Of course, it’s impossible not to. Why not use such a big room with good light and good air?Moreover, the house is well maintained, not old or damaged, just antique, and it is more comfortable to live in than high-rise buildings.
In fact, changing it to a B&B or renting it out can solve this problem, but... look at the various objects in the yard, renting it out will scare people to death.And Xia Ye doesn't really like being in the same room with things that she can't control.
The only good thing is that the house has plumbing, electricity, and sewage systems, which were repaired by my grandfather. It happened a few years ago, probably for summer nights, so everything is new.
"Grandma Liu, is there only one person like you in this house?" Xia Ye opened the door of the master bedroom, and after entering the door, there is a small reception room with round tables, benches, couches and other things. bedroom.In the bedroom is a set of huanghuali furniture. The bed is the most exquisite Babu bed with exquisite carvings, but it is a bit small.
Granny Liu put her hands in her hands and smiled as she watched Xia Ye pack her luggage: "It's true that there is only one person like this old man. If the little master is willing, it's okay to find some later."
"You signed a lifetime contract with this place?" Xia Ye asked again.
"No." Granny Liu smiled, her eyes were strange, "The one who signed the contract with us is not Xia Zhai, but the head of the Xia family, that is, you."
Xia Ye looked back at Granny Liu, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly turned around and continued making the bed.
The relationship between the two became tender again, and the previously vaguely tense atmosphere disappeared invisible.
Xia Ye tidied up the mattress and quilt, hung up the mosquito net, looked around and thought it was ok, then turned around and asked Granny Liu: "Can Granny Liu know how to cook?"
"I don't have such a need." Granny Liu politely said no.
This is nerve-wracking... Xia Ye scratched his head, he didn't know how, his level has been stuck at the stage of being able to cook and eat, but he is not good at cooking, but he is very picky about eating.
"Do nearby businesses offer takeaway?"
"If the little master wants to eat outside, he can spend money to find someone to run errands. For example, there is no takeaway outside." Granny Liu said.
Xia Ye is not surprised that the takeaway industry will be born when there are more people ordering food, but the residents of the town and occasional tourists do not have such long-term needs, so the takeaway business is naturally impossible.
"Which restaurant here has the best food? I'll go and spoon some."
"Zhang's food shop uses fresh ingredients, and Li's food shop has good craftsmanship. It depends on your liking."
Granny Liu packed a rattan basket for him, which contained a set of black lacquer and gold lacquer boxes, and asked him to go shopping.
It was very extravagant to go shopping with an antique. Granny Pianliu and Xia Ye didn't feel anything, so he carried it in his hand and went out.
Xia's house is remote, with a low mountain behind it, and you can see many semicircular graves, all of which are the ancestral graves of local people.Xia Ye guessed that there should be the Xia family's ancestral grave here, and he was thinking about whether to bring Grandpa's bones back from the cemetery and bury them there. The scenery here is beautiful and the summer is cool.
The year before last, he went back to the small town where he lived when he was a child. The old city was being rebuilt there, and it had already changed.Xia Ye didn't deliberately look for his childhood friend, he just took Xia Sanjun's sand away and moved it to a cemetery.
It's been three years since he left that small town, but when he thinks about it, it feels like his last life.
Following the map, he found the Zhangjia Food Shop, which is an integrated residence where life and business are combined, the upstairs is for life, and the downstairs is for business.Xia Ye entered the door with a basket, and the man looked at his basket and asked, "Are you from the Xia family?"
"Mr. Xia is my grandfather." Xia Ye replied.He thought to himself: If you say that there is no demand, it will be seen through just after taking the basket. Is there a truth in Granny Liu's mouth?
"Why didn't your grandfather come back?"
"gone."
The restaurant was quiet for a few seconds, and the chef patted Xia Ye's shoulder with a pyrotechnic palm: "What do you want to eat? Your Granny Liu loves sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root the most."
Xia Ye ordered some food and put them in food boxes.The prices here are not high, and the servings for two people include meat and vegetables, vegetables and soup, which add up to more than ten yuan.
He walked back with the basket in his hand, passing by the residents of this small town.When he walked in front of other people's houses, the dogs raised by those people would stand up and look at him a few times.The residents here also looked at him, and at the basket in his hand.
"The grandson of the Xia family is back." The news spread faster than Xia Ye.
When he returned to the old house, almost half of the town knew about it.Granny Liu covered her mouth and smiled: "Our family used to be a big family, and there is only one big house in the whole town."
After they had dinner, Xia Ye got up and washed the food boxes and bowls and chopsticks, took a shower with well water, and then went back to bed.
I thought that there was no electric fan, so it must be very stuffy, but when the windows were opened and the screens were put on, the air inside was flowing, which brought a natural coolness.
He spread out on the bed and started to feel drowsy before nine o'clock.
The natural night wind is like the cattail fan in the hands of the family when I was a child. Xia Ye lay there, and seemed to hear something while half asleep and half awake.
"Second watch at Haishi, close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft."
The crisp sound of bamboo tubes being tapped walked around the house. Does this small town still have such an ancient occupation as playing watch?
Xia Ye closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day he was woken up by the chirping of a bird. The black-feathered bird stood on the window sill, whistling and complaining: "I flew all the way here, and you didn't even give me a door." I open."
Xia Ye got up from the bed and opened the door for it, and took a few red pine nuts as comfort.
"Thank you, which tree do you like? I will make a beautiful nest for you in the future."
The little bird pecked at the pine nuts, but ignored the vile master.It is said that pets are not allowed in motor vehicles. Is it a pet?Is it that hard to put it in your pocket?It was intentional, and I just disliked it for being fat.
Today's weather is not very good, rainy.
Xia Ye stroked the bird's head with her fingers and looked up at the gloomy sky.There was a fine rain in the sky, and the rain fell on his face with the wind.
The air here is very good, even in such a rainy day, it doesn't look dull.
After Xia Ye washed up, she went out holding a blue-gray oil-paper umbrella she found in the room.He thought it would be more romantic, but in fact... people on the street are all holding modern umbrellas, colorfully colored, like flowers competing to bloom on a rainy day.
He bought fried dough sticks, eggs, and white steamed buns at a breakfast shop. The boss also recommended a local milk: "The pasteurized one...is the pasteurized fresh milk that was delivered early in the morning."
"Very mellow." Xia Ye commented, this local pasteurized milk is indeed very delicious, with a natural mellow aroma.
He was given a huge surprise by the early morning milk, which will be added to his standard breakfast.
After eating, Xia Ye brought back some breakfast: "Where did Granny Liu go?"
He asked the broom he was cleaning at home, the broom stopped, and it looked at the dustpan: "We don't know, we didn't see her in the morning."
"Okay, thanks for your hard work."
"No, you're welcome, we should." The broom and dustpan said shyly, and then cleaned harder.
He put the breakfast he brought back into the kitchen and covered it to keep it warm.Then he went to his room and continued to pack his luggage. He needed a study room for his computer and books.
The old house has a special study room, which is very large, dozens of square meters, with many books and desks in it.The study has a small lounge with a bed in it, neatly made up.
If you open a row of windows in the study room, you can see the garden, rain corridor, lotus pond, small pavilion, rockery, etc., which are beautiful and relaxing.In addition, the light is also very good, not too dazzling, and the brightness is just right.
There is very little luggage, and it will be packed in a while.He sat on a chair and looked at the garden outside the window with his face up, imagining that on a sunny day, the sun would pass through the bushes and turn into mottled light spots and fall on his face.
Of course, the garden in rainy days is also very beautiful, especially the pink lotus is even more unreal after the rain has applied a blur filter.
He stretched out his hand, and a bee hiding from the rain circled around his fingertips and flew away.
There are a lot of books here, most of which are very awkward ancient prose, and there are no punctuation marks, which is very embarrassing for him, a better science student.
"These are left by the predecessors, and may be helpful to you." Granny Liu walked in, and Xia Ye put down the ancient books in her hand.
"I've already eaten breakfast, thank you very much." She said as she put an empty basket on the table, "When the master of the family returns, he must tell someone that I delivered some snacks in the morning."
people?What kind of person is a life similar to the local land god?
"It should be me thanking you."
Granny Liu didn't say much, and left the study with a basket.
The study room was empty and quiet, bored, it was rare for Xia Ye to open a certain forum to see what news was hot recently.
"The mysterious case of serial organ theft? Such a technical case, was it done by humans?"
The author has something to say: Leisurely Xia: Such a technical content, it must not be made by demons.
Monsters: ...Thank you, I didn't feel very happy.
This is an old lady who looks benevolent but somewhat subtle, wearing a pea blue cheongsam with a button-down top, her hair neatly combed.
"How do you address it?" Xia Ye always used 'you' to the old man, but this time it didn't work.
"My surname is Liu, you can call me Granny Liu."
