cat alley

After dinner, Fu Yining asked Wen Qiyue to go home with her to sleep, and then go back to tidy up the courtyard the next day. Wen Qiyue thought about how comfortable the Fu family's sofa was, so she didn't try to be brave, and agreed to go home together.

On the way, Fu Yining and Wen Qiyue talked about the issue of rent. Wen Qiyue didn't know how much to charge, so it was fine to pay. Fu Yining was also at a loss. She checked on the Internet, and there was no example of renting out the courtyard. It's inappropriate to give too much, and it will only make her worse.

Wen Qiyue saw Fu Yining's entanglement, and reported the number casually, 800 a month.When she goes to work, her income will continue to flow, not short of Fu Yining's 800 yuan, but the words are spoken by herself, and collecting rent will make Ningning feel more at ease.

In this way, the rent was negotiated, and Wen Qiyue slowed down on the gas pedal, and asked, "Is Cat Lane profitable?"

"Let's divide it into low and peak tourist seasons." Fu Yining looked out the window at the moving street scene.

In the first year of Cat Lane, it was extremely popular on Changhe Street. She stepped up her efforts in online promotion, and the number of people coming here gradually increased. At the beginning of the second year, Changhe Street opened the second and third coffee shops with pets as gimmicks. , She competed healthy with her peers and did not cause too much pressure on her.

But... Fu Yining sighed softly, Wen Qiyue quoted what Jin An had said, and asked, "Your clerk said that the landlord was going back on his word, what's going on?"

Rent, cat supplies, and every drink with guaranteed ingredients are not small expenses.Wen Qiyue asked, proving that she already knew about it, Fu Yining said frankly: "Sister Man, do you remember? She is my landlord."

"Remember, grandpa said that she was in the eye of money." Wen Qiyue's tone was a bit chilly.

It's not that the family doesn't enter the house.

Wang Man's husband is a well-known cheater in the alley. He used to rely on his family's money to eat and be lazy, but later he became bored. He learned how to sell insurance, manage money, and go door-to-door to fool the elderly.

This couple was a nest of snakes and rats. Wen Qiyue guessed that Wang Man might make things difficult for Fu Yining in disguise. She held her breath and wanted to help Fu Yining: "Leave this matter to me, and I will go to Wang Man."

"Praying for the moon, it's useless." Fu Yining was not a disappointment, "I will find a way about the rent."

If Mr. Wen was alive, he would say nothing in the alley. After his death, Wen Qiyue would be labeled as an unfilial daughter. People in the alley are most taboo about their children being unfilial. .

If Wen Qiyue went to Wang Man for the rent, Wang Man might be in a hurry and spread bad words about the Wen family behind his back.

"Ningning, you know what Wang Man is, why did you rent her house?"

"Blame me for being stupid." Fu Yining bit the corner of her lips and laughed at herself: "I went to the agent and Wang Man before opening the store. Wang Man said that she had two vacant houses at the front door. My dad helped her. The house is OK. Rent it to me cheaply, and the rent will not increase for three years."

On the day of Wang Man's labor, her husband was not at home, and the neighbors were basically asleep. She called Fu's father's shop. There was a table of drinking guests in Fu's father's shop. When he heard that Wang Man was about to give birth, he hurriedly called 120.

The alley was closed to traffic, so Dad Fu carried out his good deeds to the end, rushed to Wang Man's house together with the guests, and escorted her into the ambulance all the way.

Knowing about this, Fu Yining thought that Wang Man would sincerely repay her kindness, and that the rent Wang Man proposed at the beginning was indeed much cheaper than that of the agent. Talk to her about money seriously.

With the rent rising, Fu Yining was faced with two choices, either to rent it, or to change to a remote front door house in the hands of an intermediary.

In order to stabilize the source of customers, Fu Yining spent the money she earned on the rent. She and Wang Man agreed again not to increase the rent, and Wang Man readily accepted it.

Even so, Fu Yining still underestimated the ugliness of human nature. Next year, Wang Man will raise the rent again and use money to force her to give up Mao Lane.

Wen Qiyue was so angry that she squeezed the steering wheel tightly and said with a sneer, "Uncle Fu shouldn't have helped her back then."

"Wang Man just wants to see my jokes." Fu Yining pinned her hair behind her ears, and said in relief, "I can't do what she wants about the rent." Temporarily agreeing to Wang Man is her plan to delay the attack.

In the end, Wang Man thought that her shop was not making money, had no commercial value, and would close down sooner or later.

She recently sorted out the business situation of Mao Lane in the past two years. Any landlord hopes that the tenants will be stable. If Wang Man rents to others, they may not do better than Fu Yining.

"Ning Ning, if you need my help, just ask." Wen Qiyue smiled.

Ning Ning, who cannot be defeated, is extraordinarily charming.

Speaking of rent and Mao Lane, Fu Yining thought of another matter related to Shao Sizhao.She leaned her head against the window and asked softly: "Qiyue, don't you wonder why I opened a shop on Changhe Street?"

There are more suitable choices in and out of the city or in other cities.

Yotsuya slowly closed at nine o'clock until ten o'clock, and the high-rise buildings left a few overtime lights, and the street scene returned to its original tranquility under the night. Every street has its unique story, recording history and people coming and going without a trace. traces of.

Wen Qiyue enjoys the unique peace of Yotsuya at night. She has traveled to too many cities abroad, and when she stops, she often thinks of the old streets and alleys of Yotsuya, and of course the woman she misses.

During the time she returned to China, she had too many questions. The reason why she chose not to ask was that Wen Qiyue relaxed her back. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Fu Yining's quiet side face. She kept smiling and said, "Ning Ning, take your time?"

"I'll wait until the day you want to say it."

Is Wen Qiyue going to dig out Fu Yining's unsatisfactory past in one go?She's not going to do that.

The time left for her to get along with Ningning is neither too much nor too little. According to the slow pace of Yotsuya City, it will take a long process to reacquaint and restore trust.

She can afford to wait.

It's not bad to wait a few more days, weeks, months.

...

the next day.

Wen Qiyue, who was sleeping on the sofa, was woken up by Fu Yining. Fu Yining took her downstairs to have breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning. Her eyes were half-closed and she was drowsy.

After dinner, Fu Yining arranged the itinerary for the morning. She dragged the sloppy Wen Qiyue to the supermarket, and Wen Qiyue was in charge of pushing the cart.

"Ningning, what do you want to buy?" Wen Qiyue yawned non-stop, severely lacking sleep.

"What do you want to buy?" Fu Yining tidied Wen Qiyue's broken hair on her forehead. She was full of energy and Wen Qiyue was in stark contrast.

shopping?Wen Qiyue capitalized in confusion, "I have nothing to buy..." It's better to go home and sleep.

Since going to school, Wen Qiyue can't get rid of the bad habit of sleeping late. Fu Yining pushed her back and took her to run two steps forward, "There is nothing in the courtyard."

have to!Wen Qiyue slapped her forehead and forgot all about it. She shook her head and opened her heavy eyelids to start her shopping trip with Ningning.

Wen Qiyue went straight to the snack area, and Fu Yining followed her, watching her pick melon seeds and lollipops, and said curiously: "Wen Qiyue, your taste has changed too much, right?!"

Eating melon seeds, trouble, lollipops, eating too slowly.These should not be the scope of Wen Qiyue's purchase of snacks, Fu Yining picked up a pack casually, and muttered: "It's a new one."

"It's okay, just buy it and eat it at home." Wen Qiyue confessed the reason: "I want to quit smoking."

The cigarette addiction was hard to bear because the hospital was with me a few days ago, and the time was long and boring. Wen Qi spent the days like years, silently counting the seconds and minutes, hoping that an hour would pass as soon as possible.

Fu Yining grabbed the man's hand with jagged nails, and she said angrily, "Smoking cessation has something to do with you biting your hand?"

Pale pink nails, curved crescents, and well-defined joints, it's a pity that a pair of pianist's hands.

Wen Qiyue felt guilty, smiled embarrassingly, and said with begging and flattery in her eyes: "There are no nail clippers in the hospital." The implication is that she didn't gnaw her hands because of anxiety.

"Really?" Fu Yining didn't believe it. She rubbed some of Wen Qiyue's sharp nails with her fingertips. She severely criticized, "If you don't have nail clippers, you can find me or my mother. We will bring them for you."

"Fake." Wen Qiyue raised the flag and surrendered under Fu Yining's scrutinizing eyes, and confessed weakly, "I'm addicted to cigarettes, I can't help but want to chew."

In order to reward this person for telling the truth obediently, Fu Yining let go of Wen Qiyue, opened the bag and took out a candy, quickly peeled it open in front of Wen Qiyue's eyes, and stuffed it into Wen Qiyue's mouth.

During the candy filling process, Wen Qiyue behaved very submissively, her lips touched Fu Yining's warm fingertips, Ning Ning seemed to rub her lips unintentionally, and by the way raised her heartbeat, the candy was in her mouth, Immediately cut through the rich, unsatisfactory milky fragrance.

Wen Qiyue stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her lips subconsciously. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was Fu Yining's fingertips that were sweet or milk candy.

Fu Yining put her hands by her side, turned her head to the snack shelf to cover up the panic in her heart, and sent honest feedback to her brain with her fingers.

Just to the touch, it's soft...hot.

"Let's... go to the opposite side? Pick some snacks that you can eat." Low-fat or sugar-free, Wen Qiyue pinched her earlobe repeatedly, and carefully tasted Fu Yiningsai's sugar with the tip of her tongue.

The sweetness is beyond standard..

"Okay..." Fu Yining's breathing became heavier, and a strange throbbing throbbed at the apex of his heart.

In their teens, girls shed their childish appearance and gradually tended to open outwards. At that time, Fu Yining liked to study Wen Qiyue's appearance. She used her eyes to silently draw Qiyue's delicate facial features, her eyebrows, her eyes , and the superior lines of the red lips, Fu Yining was fascinated by them.

They have a close relationship, and Wen Qiyue allowed Fu Yining to touch her body, so Ning Ning touched Qiyue's lips with his hands, and caught the shyness under Qiyue's black eyes and the faint blush on her cheeks.

In exchange, Fu Yining let Wen Qiyue touch her.Wen Qiyue covered her face, turned and ran away, and it took a long time before she spoke to Fu Yining.

In fact, Fu Yining was no calmer than Wen Qiyue at that time, relying on her thick skin, the deer bumped against her chest, and ate Wen Qiyue's tofu openly.

She likes the innumerable privileges Wen Qiyue promised her.

...

The small episode slowed down their shopping in the supermarket, picking and choosing, what should be bought, what should not be bought, and they couldn't move anymore. Wen Qiyue and Fu Yining pushed a shopping cart to check out.

The two of them mixed things together, Fu Yining paid the bill directly, then turned to Wen Qiyue and mischievously explained, "Miss Landlord, I paid the rent."

Wen Qiyue knew that what she bought was far more than 800 yuan.Ning Ning's life is not easy, raising a shop and cats, and helping the family, she doesn't want Ning Ning to spend money on her, and there is no need to break it when she is outside, it is better to go home...

Back...home...Wen Qiyue was surrounded by the heat from her heart.

The courtyard house is her and Ningning's home...the word home is used for them again...

Fu Yining pushed the shopping cart for a long distance, turned around to talk to Wen Qiyue, but saw Qiyue's figure was submerged by the crowd.

She turned around and pushed the shopping cart across the crowd, and slowly approached Wen Qiyue who was standing still.

"Pray for the moon?" Fu Yining called her in a low voice.

"Ning Ning..We.." Wen Qiyue was as unreal as a dream. She stepped on the cliff like a free-handed rock climber, and her feet were bottomless. Every swallow would aggravate the fear and oppression of being crushed.

The top of the mountain was just ahead, a few steps away, and there were all unknown scenery there. Her worn out palm firmly grasped the raised stones, but she climbed for too long, and her physical strength reached the limit and she was about to collapse.

..

Back to reality, the girl who accompanied her to and from school has grown up, with dazzling blond hair, bright eyes and white teeth, between mature and green, with a cute smile, occasionally mischievous, just her heartbeat appearance.

Wen Qiyue's gaze carried too much emotion that he couldn't describe.

She proposed to live together, and Ningning agreed, and the almost shattered fantasy came back to life. She asked herself repeatedly, where did she get the confidence to climb up?In case of losing Ningning... it is better to stop in time and cut off unrealistic extravagant hopes.

At this moment, in the illusory daydream, someone grabbed her hand and pulled her up...

The man said, "Qiyue, why are you standing there? Let's go home?"

Fu Yining looked at the absent-minded Wen Qiyue, and said gently, "I'll go to the shop after I go home and clean up."

Going home...what a beautiful word...Wen Qiyue's body was light and light, she stopped the fierce struggle in her heart, let go of the shopping cart and strode forward.

She rested her palm on the back of Ning Ning's hand, and murmured uncertainly, "Say what you said just now."

Fu Yining pampered her, "I said, shall we go home?"

The heat and humidity in the palm of her hand is enough to prove how nervous Wen Qiyue is. She is glad that the person she is holding is not an illusion. She bravely followed her heart and responded, "Okay, let's go home."
