think mighty

Xie Zhiwen smiled, "Why, when did you become interested in celebrities, you can go to the dance hall to see if you have time, maybe you can catch up with Lu Xiaodie to sing, Lu Xiaodie used to like to sing in the big world before, but now After becoming famous, she sang less, but she used to be the best face in the world."

He Yuxiu laughed, "Alright, let's go together tomorrow."

Xie Zhiwen looked at him in surprise, "Why, are you really interested?"

"Aren't you interested in beauties singing?"

Xie Zhiwen smiled, he was born with a smiling face, and he spoke softly. Anyone who saw him would praise him for his good temper. Seeing He Yuxiu talking like this, he just looked at him helplessly, "Don't make fun of me, I’ve been forced by my parents to go on a blind date recently, and if they know that I don’t go on a blind date even if I go to such a sensual place to listen to people singing, I’m afraid I’ll be preaching again.”

"Blind date?" He Yuxiu almost spit out a sip of tea, then covered her mouth and laughed until she burst into tears, "Zhiwen, you are so handsome and have a good temper, why are you so anxious, afraid that you won't find your wife? "

Xie Zhiwen glanced at him, "Do you think everyone is the same as you? Speaking of which, you and I are in our thirties this year, and they probably can't stand me living alone, and they are a little anxious. I really envy you, traveling abroad all the year round Playing in mountains and rivers, no one urges you to get married."

He Yuxiu laughed, "What's there to envy, I still envy you..."

The remaining words were swallowed by him. He pretended not to care, glanced into the alley, coughed twice and said, "Go inside and have a look, maybe you can see a house for rent."

Xie Zhiwen looked at him steadily, didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "Okay."

The alley is narrow, and the road is paved with stone slabs, but it still looks a bit potholed. After He Yuxiu walked a few steps, he was attracted by a large piece of bamboo in front of a house. When he got closer, the bamboo came from the gap between the stone slabs. There were some potted flowers in front of the door, which were drooping weakly due to the rain.He Yuxiu glanced to the side, the door frame was made of stone, and the door of black lacquered solid wood was ajar.There was actually a rental notice posted in front of this house, his eyes lit up, and he took a look inside, only to see that there seemed to be someone living inside, and the door was open.What you can see is a small patio, and behind it is the open door of the main room. The whole yard is paved with blue stone slabs, and the rainwater drips down the four god tiles on the eaves. some water.

He was a little curious, and was about to go in, when he saw a mother-in-law coming out, wearing a gray jacket and skirt, her silver and white hair tied loosely with a hairpin.Seeing that the two of them looked unfamiliar, she looked him up and down, "You..."

He Yuxiu pointed to the notice posted on her door, and asked, "Is it for sale here, can you go in and have a look?"

The mother-in-law suddenly realized, and quickly invited them in.

It was indeed a very quiet yard, with water dripping from the eaves, which wet a small piece of his cloth shoes, and bamboo was planted in the yard, which was so green that it was eye-catching. He walked around the yard twice, stretching out his hands to shake it. The rain on the bamboo leaves made my sleeves wet.

Xie Zhiwen laughed at him: "Are you still a child?"

He Yuxiu glared at him.

The mother-in-law was also very enthusiastic, "Our yard is very clean. I clean it every day. I plant all the flowers and plants in this yard. Go and have a look inside?"

He Yuxiu nodded, and followed the mother-in-law to look around the room.The lighting is good, there is no peculiar smell, and it is very bright.

He Yuxiu was very satisfied.

"Let me tell you the truth, I was not willing to sell this house. If my youngest daughter hadn't married and went to Jiangxi to suffer from a serious illness and urgently needed money, I would never let anyone else live in this house. In this way, you two If you like it, I will give it to you at a lower price."

As she spoke, tears welled up in the mother-in-law's eyes.

Upon hearing this, He Yuxiu shook her head, "Mother-in-law, you can have as much as you want. I quite like your house. Please make a price."

"This..." The mother-in-law thought for a while, wiped her tears and said, "If you want to rent it, you can give me fifty silver dollars a month. If you want to buy it, you can give me one thousand silver dollars, and I will hand over the house to you. .”

He Yuxiu's heart moved, he originally only wanted to rent for a few days, but he was very satisfied with this house, and it sounded like it would be more cost-effective to buy it outright, so he suddenly had the idea of ​​buying it.

However, one thousand silver oceans...

He Yuxiu not only failed to make a lot of money from this exhibition, but also lost a lot to Huayang Painting Hall. It stands to reason that he should have saved some savings over the years, but he traveled around and spent money like running water, so he didn't save at all. Pay a few bucks.Right now, asking him to take out so much money at once, he is really a bit stretched.

It's not easy to bargain with this mother-in-law who is in desperate need of money.

He had a look of embarrassment, he didn't expect that Ningpu couldn't even afford a yard here.

Xie Zhiwen glanced at him and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not enough, I have more here."

He Yuxiu looked up at Xie Zhiwen, Xie Zhiwen always knew him well, and now he didn't need to say it, he knew that he was in trouble.

"Zhiwen..."

Xie Zhiwen smiled, "It's okay."

After all, Xie Zhiwen borrowed Xie Zhiwen's money to pay the rent. After the payment, Xie Zhiwen suddenly thought of something and said, "Mother-in-law, take the deed and let us hand it over."

The mother-in-law paused for a moment, "Oh!" "I almost forgot about it."

She smiled, "The old lady is illiterate, so I dare not leave such a valuable thing casually, and hid it with the child's uncle. If you can trust me, I will ask him to bring it to you tomorrow."

He Yuxiu nodded and asked, "Then can I move in now?"

"of course can."

He Yuxiu's mood suddenly brightened. He looked at Xie Zhiwen and said with a smile, "Now I have a place to live."

Xie Zhiwen glanced at the mother-in-law who happily collected the money and went upstairs, frowned, and then let go, he glanced at He Yuxiu, smiled, "Yes, the hotel is too small, you draw a picture There is no place, now with this yard, at least I can draw and stay clean."

He Yuxiu happily moved his things from the Lingqiujiang Pavilion to his new residence, thinking that his paintings could finally be released from the box, and he felt extremely comfortable.

At night, he invited Xie Zhiwen to drink, Xie Zhiwen smiled, "Yes, it's a happy housewarming, I have to celebrate it, you bought this house here, you must come and live here often, it's not far from my house, you can often come to you."

The two found a restaurant at night and drank until they were drunk. He Yuxiu was rarely drunk on weekdays, but these recent incidents made him very depressed.He had two blushes on his cheeks, and was helped back home by Xie Zhiwen. After returning home, he didn't sleep. I can't see the cleanliness of the weekdays.

Xie Zhiwen was also drunk and unconscious, and when he woke up the next day with a dizzy head, he realized that he still had class today, put on his clothes in a panic, and didn't care to inform He Yuxiu. Hair went to school.

He Yuxiu didn't know when Xie Zhiwen left. When she woke up, her body was sore, and she realized that she had slept on the ground all night.He got up and looked left and right, and found that Xie Zhiwen had left, so he took a bath, washed up, changed his clothes, and finally became more awake.

The rain outside stopped, and there was a slight sign of clearing up in the sky. Outside, there were children selling newspapers yelling in the streets. He Yuxiu went out to eat, and as soon as he walked out, he heard the voice of the newsboy. ordered one, and asked the child to deliver one here every day.

It's "Ning Bao" again.

He Yuxiu stared at the newspaper, read it over and over several times, but did not find that person's name.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

After breakfast, He Yuxiu returned to her residence, and was about to draw something while she was in a good mood, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

He looked up at the big pendulum clock hanging in the study, it was a quarter past ten at this time, wondering if Zhiwen had come.

When the door opened, it was a stranger.

The man at the door was wearing a suit and a hat. When he opened the door, he took off his hat and smiled, "You must be Mr. He Yuxiu He."

He Yuxiu was a little taken aback, "You are?"

The man stretched out his hand, "I have admired you for a long time. I am asking you for paintings at the request of Boss Huang. I have heard that Mr. He is a good painter. Boss Huang has admired you for a long time."

He Yuxiu glanced at his hand, but didn't intend to shake it back.

"Boss Huang?" He glanced behind him, but he didn't see anyone who looked like a boss.

The man chuckled, and said: "Our boss has something to do, so he asked me to ask for a painting. Don't blame me, sir."

"How do you know that I live here?" He Yuxiu looked at him with alarm in her eyes.

"Well, after a little investigation, there's nothing difficult." Seeing that he didn't intend to shake hands, the man looked a little embarrassed, so he withdrew his hand.In a blink of an eye, he put on a smiling face again, "Mr. He, don't be offended. We didn't intend to disturb you. We really came here with sincerity."

He winked to the side, and after a while, the sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the alley, and several people came over carrying several boxes.

The man squinted his eyes, looked at He Yuxiu, pointed to the box and said: "Mr. He, Boss Huang ordered someone to bring you the special local melons and fruits in Ningpu, as a kindness of the landlord. This is specially made by Boss Huang." Ordered, and..."

He raised his hand, and a small box was handed over to him, "This box full of yellow croakers is also specially prepared for you, as long as you are willing, draw a picture for our boss Huang, these..."

"Thank you for your love, it's just that He has been busy with things recently and has no time to sell paintings."

Halfway through the man's words, the smile on his face seemed to freeze.

"you…"

"Is there something else, sir? It's okay, I'm going to rest."

Huang Er squinted his eyes, he came here today with the intention of getting things done, and it is not that simple for He Yuxiu to send him away with a few words.

"Do you know what kind of character our boss Huang is?"

He Yuxiu sneered, "I don't care who your boss Huang is, I'm going to rest now."

After all, he made a gesture of seeing off the guests, as if he was about to close the door.

Huang Eryi stretched out his hand, pressed the door panel, lowered his voice, and asked, "Don't be ungrateful. I want an answer today. Do you want to paint or not?"

He Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Sir, you are so skillful at changing faces. I don't know where you practiced it?"

Huang Er sneered when he heard the sound: "Mr. He, I didn't say that our brother is talking to you in a good manner to save face. If someone else..."

He Yuxiu folded her chest and looked at him, "So what if it's someone else?"

Huang Er sneered, "It's someone else, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up now. If you know a little bit, you can draw. It will benefit you. If you don't know a person... don't blame our brothers for being rude."

He Yuxiu is a person who always takes the soft but not the tough, but when he sees this kind of guy, he can be even worse than him.Now after hearing this, the stubbornness came up, let alone painting, and he didn't want to say a word to this person, so he snorted coldly: "Well, He Mouwan didn't expect that your boss Huang is actually Seeing me in such a way makes He Mou see it, why are you so rude?"

"You are really..."

That Huang Er approached a little bit, and was about to make a move, when a person behind him grabbed him, "Second brother!"

Huang Er turned his head and said impatiently, "What are you doing?"

The man glanced at He Yuxiu, whispered something in his ear, and saw Huang Erhuan looking around.

Maybe it was because they spoke loudly, and many people were watching the commotion with their heads poking their ears, and this cramped alley seemed extraordinarily lively for a while.

Huang Er obviously didn't plan to make this a big deal, so he just snorted coldly, glanced at He Yuxiu, and said, "Hmph... let's go."

Seeing Huang Er leading a group of people away, He Yuxiu couldn't help but frowned and sneered.He is always annoyed by the condescending attitude of these wealthy businessmen who rely on their own money. He has always relied on his eyes to sell paintings. He talked about how much he liked his paintings, but he just ordered people to bring money to threaten and lure him. He didn't even show his face, so he probably didn't like paintings very much, and he didn't need to waste pen and ink on them.

He dismissed the person who was asking for a painting, but he didn't take it to heart. Seeing that the weather was good today, he took a pen and paper and went to Lingqiu to sketch, and it was dusk when he wrote.The mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are different from the mountains in the north. They are beautiful and empty. He Yuxiu sat in the wind-watching pavilion on the hillside of Lingqiu for a day, and it was the first time that he found that Ningpu had such a beautiful place.

At this time, he would never have expected that the house he had just bought had attracted so many guests as soon as he moved in. One of them had just been sent away, and the next day, someone came to visit again.
