Cross-country exchange

"Brother Xia, um, what are we going to do for lunch?" Xie Yun seemed very distressed, after all, there were only a few kinds of dishes in the house that had been turned over and over again, no matter how much they tried to renovate, they still couldn't find anything.

"Angelica is ready for soup, we can add another pot of soup today."

Xia Yu helped Xie Yun carry the vegetable basket. The clothes in it were stacked high and heavy in his hands. He looked at Xie Yun's thin arms and legs again, and felt a slight sense of displeasure in his heart.

The two were discussing all the way, talking and laughing, and left hand in hand.

Li Mo hid on the side of the tree and stood there for a long time until he couldn't see the two of them.After that, he went to the river to search for a while, but found nothing.When I went back, because I was absent-minded, Cao's grandma said a few more words.

If it wasn't for Cao Peng's presence, the two of them would have quarreled again.

"As a man, how can I wash clothes and cook together with my brother-in-law? It's just—" Li Mo closed the door and told himself that it would be a pity to miss someone like Xia Yu, because he could no longer find him. There are no words to explain what Xia Yu's behavior is.But he had to admit that the picture of Xia Yu getting along with his little brother-in-law was so beautiful that people couldn't help being jealous.

Xia Yu took advantage of the fact that everyone was building a house at his house, and went back and forth to the county town to compare the shops he had fancy before.Most of the shops were slightly lower because of Xia Yu's delay on purpose.Some of them were rented out early, and Feng Yang took him to look at many places. Xia Yu finally fell in love with a shop at the corner of the street. many.

Feng Yang climbed up to take a look, and couldn't help complaining when he came down, "The upstairs is too messy, Xia Yu, what is your shop used for, can't you go to another shop? I saw last time we The shop I visited on the west street is also pretty good, clean and more lively than here."

Xia Yu listened to his complaints with a gentle face, and didn't say much.On the other hand, the owner of the house was in a hurry. The friend Xia Yu brought over seemed to say that his house was worthless, and how could he do business anymore.In addition, it had been more than a month since Xia Yu saw the house until he was sure about it, so he couldn't help wondering whether he had taken a fancy to it or not.

"This friend is right. My house is a bit dirty. It's because the person who rented my house last time was too gambler. He owed a lot of debt to the gambling house, and ran away with his family. I was in a hurry to go back to my hometown. During the Chinese New Year, I didn’t clean it up much. But don’t look at this house, it’s dirty, it’s clean and bright, and the location is quite good, so it’s the best choice for doing business. Boss Xia came out to open a shop at such a young age. Really young and promising."

"Boss Li was joking, but it's just to make a living."

Xia Yu looked around, his slow look really made it impossible to see what he was thinking.It's like a cat keeps tickling you for a while, and when you don't notice, it comes to tickle you again.

Feng Yang stood aside and said, "The location of this house is not the best location in the county. If you don't like it, why don't we go to another place to have a look?"

Boss Li paid close attention to the conversation between the two of them at any time. Feng Yang leaned forward and said immediately, "I don't know what Boss Xia thinks? If he is satisfied, we will make a decision."

Xia Yu said, "Satisfied—Boss Li, to be honest, don't mind too much. It will take me a while to take care of this room, and I think it will be better if the layout is opened up. How should I say it? The most I can offer for this house is this price."

Xia Yu compared his fingers. He had asked Boss Li the price before.

So Boss Li understood at a glance that it was reasonable for Xia Yu to suppress the price, although it was much lower than before.After thinking about it, he almost gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Boss Xia, you really know how to do business. If something hadn't happened in my hometown, I really don't want to rent out the house so soon."

Previously, Xia Yu heard from Boss Li that he was rushing back to celebrate the New Year, but now that he heard it, the meaning of his words changed again. This time must be the real reason, so he didn't ask too much.The two found a place to sign the house agreement with each other, in duplicate, and each of them held one copy.

Xia Yu got the key to the house, climbed upstairs and took a look again. The place where the window was open just happened to be able to see the situation of the other two streets.What he liked at the beginning was the location of the house, which happened to be at the intersection of several streets.He stood by the window, almost already thinking about how to arrange this floor.

"Xia Yu, look at this place is dirty and messy, it can't be done in a few days, why don't you give me the key, and I'll clean it up for you. After you come, I will keep you in a clean and bright shop Son." Feng Yang patted his chest and promised.

Xia Yu was very moved in his heart, but he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Feng Yang, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. As for cleaning up, don't worry, I'll ask my family to come over and help Just be busy, maybe you can tidy it up in a day."

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Feng Yang immediately followed up and said, "Okay, since you have arrangements, I'll come over to help tomorrow, and then don't dislike me for being in the way."

After Xia Yu went back, he gave a brief account of the establishment of the shop, and said by the way, "Grandma, see if you can ask someone to follow me to the county to clean the shop tomorrow. It just changed hands, and it’s quite messy, so I want to open the store as soon as possible.”

"Brother Xia, I'll go. You're going to take me there tomorrow, and I'll help you clean the house." Xie Yun expressed his position in a hurry, as if he was afraid that anyone would disagree.

Aunt Xia glanced at the little man Xie Yun. Considering that cleaning is quite tiring, she said, "Xiao Yun stays at home and cooks. Tomorrow, the fifth and third children will go to the county with me."

As soon as Aunt Xia said, Xie Yun dared to refute, and immediately became sleepy like an eggplant beaten by frost, and looked at Xia Yu pleadingly with his mouth curled up.

Xia Yuquan pretended not to see it, but just mentioned, "Grandma, the shop is quite spacious, the upstairs and downstairs are about the same size, see who else you can bring with you tomorrow, let's try to do all the work in one day Done."

Xia Yu wants to save everyone's time. After all, the house is still under construction at home, and there are too many things to do.Running back and forth to the county town was tiring.

Xie Yun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to hug Grandma Xia's arm, shaking it non-stop, and said, "Grandma, let me go with you, I work very fast, and one person can do two people's work." work. And I promise to obey you."

Grandma Xia glared at Xia Yu, really not knowing what to say.

Xia Yu was a little wronged when he was stared at, but he didn't explain much, and just found a chance to slip out.

As soon as Xia Yu went out, he was caught by Luo Liang who came out of nowhere. Luo Liang pulled him to a dark corner, "Damn, damn, Xia Yu, do you know what I saw just now?"

Xia Yu originally planned to go to the mountain to see the white monkey, and he would go there every three days. He should have gone to the mountain last night, but he was dragged by his grandmother for a while, but he didn't have time to go.Now being interrupted by Luo Liang, there was nothing he could do, so he casually asked, "What did you see?"

"Damn it, I just saw that monkey on the mountain around Li Jun's house, pinch me quickly to see if I'm dreaming." Luo Liang continued, "When I passed by Li Jun's house just now, it suddenly jumped on me. In front of you, I don’t know what to do with the teeth and claws, I originally wanted to bring it to you, and then someone came over, and when I turned around, it didn’t know where to go.”

This monkey is really smart.

Xia Yu rubbed his forehead helplessly, "Come on, let's go to the village to look for it."

"Did you find it?" Luo Liang was so exhausted that he almost searched the whole village.

Xia Yu shook his head, the two of them searched all night, not to mention the shadow of the monkey, they didn't even see a single white hair.

"I'm a little worried, I'll go to the mountain to have a look." Xia Yu didn't want this monkey to be caught, it would be a pity if he was slaughtered.

Luo Liang looked at the sky and immediately stopped him, "It's so late, you go to the mountain alone? When did you become so courageous. I'll go with you."

Xia Yu didn't say anything, the two of them went up the mountain, and after searching, they still couldn't see the white monkey.On the contrary, the originally tidy cave seemed to have encountered a storm, the soil was overturned everywhere, and the jars that Xia Yu had hidden before disappeared.

Luo Liang couldn't help complaining, "Wow, I haven't been here for a while, is this place being robbed?"

Xia Yu didn't look like it, but it looked like a white monkey losing his temper. There were still a few scratches on the cave wall. It was the first time he had seen the destructive power of this monkey.

Seeing Xia Yu's preoccupied face, Luo Liang knew that Xia Yu cared too much about the monkey, so he couldn't help persuading him, "Don't worry, it's just a monkey. It has arms and legs, and it can run fast. It's faster than me. Even if someone wants to catch it, they may not be able to catch it, don't you think?"

Xia Yu nodded, "Yes."

Although Luo Liang's method of consolation was frustrating, it reminded Xia Yu.Even if someone wants to catch the white monkey, they have to spend some money.

"What do you think this monkey's head is thinking? It's not good to stay on the mountain. Why did it suddenly go down the mountain?" Luo Liang couldn't help muttering when he was going down the mountain.

Xia Yu pursed his lips tightly. For some reason, he seemed to understand what some white monkeys were thinking.It probably has something to do with him not going to the mountain yesterday.

Could it be that the monkey came down from the mountain because he was afraid that he would run away?

"My father told me that there are cities that are bigger than our county, and there are people who like to raise this kind of monkey. If you really like it, I said that if we have money in the future, we can buy one and raise it. Raise it." Luo Liang felt that Xia Yu was not very happy, so he searched for various words to comfort him along the way, but it seemed that the more he said the worse, he laughed twice, "I'm going home, it's too late, I Daddy will tell me."

"kindness."

After the two separated, Xia Yu hesitated for a while, but still walked towards his own direction.

Xia Yu stood outside the fence and found that the lights in his house were all off.He was about to push the fence, when he found a black shadow, poking his head in front of his house.The sneaky look made Xia Yu squint his eyes.

Xia Yu picked up a wooden stick, took off his shoes, and quietly turned into his yard.
