Chapter 122 Healing (11)

After making an appointment with Uncle Chongming, Qu Xiaoshui first went to rent a car, packed a lot of things from home, and took Jiang Yue to the supermarket for a big purchase, and then went to the rented courtyard.

This is a typical small courtyard of a northeastern farmhouse, with a front yard and a back yard.Although it is a bungalow, it is very clean.

As soon as you enter through the gate, there is a warehouse on the right. From the gate, the ground is rammed with large flat stones and paved directly to the main house.Not far in front of the warehouse is a small vegetable garden, which has many kinds of green vegetables.

In the middle of the yard is the main house, with red tiles, white walls, and blue eaves. It is very beautiful and has a pure rural style.

Uncle Chongming enthusiastically introduced: "You can pick the vegetables in the yard as you like. They are all home-grown, and the taste is definitely better than those sold outside. The cucumbers and beans are not sprayed, so you can eat them directly."

"Especially the twisted cucumber, which is crispy and delicious."

He really didn't expect that someone would be willing to rent his yard.Qu Xiaoshui gave money generously and simply, he certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money.

After leading a few people into the main house, Uncle Chongming pointed out: "There are two bedrooms and one living room. The one on the left is the master bedroom. The quilts are all in the cabinet. If it's too hot, you don't need to take them out. There is a small blanket on it. The one on the right is the master bedroom. There is a fan in the living room. The kitchen and the second bedroom are at the back, and the bathroom is through the back door, and you can go to the back yard, and follow the gravel path to the end of the hut.”

This is an old house. Although there is running water, there is no flush toilet installed.

When Qu Xiaoshui thought about the wooden toilet at home when he didn't move upstairs when he was a child, he wanted to give up a little bit, and couldn't help but secretly regret it.I don't know if Jiang Yue can bear it.

Seemingly seeing Qu Xiaoshui's hidden dislike, Uncle Chongming immediately explained: "A lot of flowers are planted in the backyard leading to the toilet, and it's quite far from the main house, so it doesn't smell bad."

Afraid that Qu Xiaoshui would not believe it, he led the three of them through the main house and went directly to the backyard through the back door.

A tall plum tree directly caught the eyes of several people.The dense green branches are covered with big red and even purple plums, which are very attractive.

"The plums on this tree have not been sprayed with pesticides." Uncle Chongming picked off a few of them vigorously, and with a nimble twist of his hand, he divided the plums into two halves. Qu Xiaoshui's mouth watered when he saw the fruit pit.

Apparently not only Qu Xiaoshui, grandma and Jiang Yue were also attracted by the delicious looking flesh, and their mouths were involuntarily secreting saliva.

Uncle Chongming distributed the plums to them, and Jiang Yue couldn't wait to put them in his mouth. The fresh and sweet taste instantly conquered his taste buds.This was the first time he had seen a plum tree in reality, and it was also the first time he had eaten plums that were picked directly.

Grandma was also very satisfied with the taste in her mouth, and praised with a smile, saying that the plums are not only appetizing but also delicious.

The small backyard is also full of vegetables, and there is no need to go out to buy the rich variety.

"The butcher's shop is not far away. You can just walk over there when you want to buy meat." Speaking of this, Uncle Chongming scratched his head embarrassedly: "There is no refrigerator at home, so you can't store things in summer. You can just buy and eat now. Otherwise, it will be easily broken."

Jiang Yue had already gone up the tree to pick plums again, and when he heard what he said, he took the lead in expressing that he didn't mind. "It's okay, it's all small things."

Seemingly feeling that young people are unreliable, Uncle Chongming looked at Grandma Qu inquiringly: "Auntie should be able to light a fire, right? The house is all stoves and kangs. You have to light a fire to boil water and cook."

Grandma waved her hand domineeringly: "I have been doing old work for decades, how can I not do it anymore?!"

Uncle Chongming felt relieved.

The few people returned to the front yard again, and he pointed to the warehouse on the other side of the vegetable garden: "This warehouse is filled with miso and all kinds of small pickles made by ourselves. You can just take it if you want to eat." The warehouse on the other side of the door: "That warehouse is full of tools, farm tools and unused furniture. If the firewood in the backyard is not enough, you can use the ax inside to cut it. But you only live for a week, and those in the backyard should be enough for you. "

Qu Xiaoshui quickly thanked Uncle Chongming for his introduction. It can be seen that the yard should have been thoroughly cleaned before they came.Qu Xiaoshui knew at a glance that both grandma and Jiang Yue were very satisfied and happy.

Then he took out two more red tickets from his wallet and stuffed them into Uncle Chongming's hands: "Uncle, you've worked hard today. It's such a hot day and you've given us acquainted with the environment. We're very satisfied with the yard, and I'm sorry for your trouble."

Uncle Chongming quickly refused, he was just like this, not because he was greedy for money.

Qu Xiaoshui couldn't refuse and put the money back to him: "This is my niece's wish, just treat it as the money for me to treat you to a cold drink, so don't refuse."

Uncle Chongming accepted it.He hesitated and whispered: "You will only stay here for a week. You can go anywhere around here. The scenery is good, and you can still fish by the river, but just don't go to the house on the farthest east."

Seeing the other two people also looking over, Uncle Chongming was a little embarrassed to say that there was only that scum around here: "The young man in that family is a rascal, he likes to drink and beats his wife. The neighbors have tried to persuade them, and they have also reported to the police, but the mother-in-law of the family did not live up to it, and even helped the young man beat the police when the police came. Don't join in, lest there will be no people inside and outside."

Qu Xiaoshui understood and thanked immediately.As soon as I heard it, I knew that the daughter-in-law of that family was unable to stand on her own, and no one else could help her if she wanted to.

"Uncle, the yard is rented to us, where do you live these few days?" Jiang Yue asked curiously.

"There are not many other things in the small place, but there are many places to live. I live in Lao Peng's house not far in front, and he lives alone. I wish I could go and accompany him."

"That's fine, thank you for today." After seeing off Uncle Chongming, Jiang Yue started running wildly in the front and back yards.

Grandma Qu watched with a smile, she likes to be noisy like this when she is old, and she is happy watching it.

After a while, Jiang Yue came over with a small basin on his head: "Grandma, do you still want to eat plums? If so, I'll pick them."

Qu Xiaoshui hastily stopped the man who was overexcited: "Go and move the things in the car in first, and put that big watermelon on ice by the way, it will be delicious later."

As he spoke, he snatched the small bowl from his hand: "Grandma is getting old, and eating too much fruit will make her teeth hurt. You can pick less for a while, and don't secretly feed it to grandma!"

Jiang Yue helplessly made a powerless gesture to his grandma: "Grandma, you can't blame me for this."

"Yes, yes, blame me, hurry up and move things!" Qu Xiaoshui pushed people away.

Grandma sat on the bench in front of the main house, looked at the two with a smile, and laughed happily from time to time.

Jiang Yue's muscles are not for nothing, Qu Xiaoshui easily moved things that he couldn't carry into the house, and even showed off his biceps with a sense of superiority, which amused his grandma.

Seeing that he was almost done moving, Qu Xiaoshui threw a bottle of water over with disgust on his face: "Go to the back room and take a shower in a while, you smell of sweat all over your body."

Jiang Yue took the bottle, but didn't open it, but went directly to Qu Xiaoshui's side, hugged Qu Xiaoshui's waist, and deliberately rubbed the sweat dripping from his cheeks and neck against Qu Xiaoshui. On his neck, his mouth murmured: "Ask you to despise me? Now you also stink!"

Qu Xiaoshui shrieked and dodged, and smiled, watching grandma's smile constantly, followed by hehe.

 An old house where a treasure.

  Miss grandma.
