Chapter 88 Renting a House in the County

It was boring to stay at home, so Li Wen decided to go to the county seat the next day.

After a night of silence, Li Wen got up in the morning and set off on his bicycle after dinner.

Li Wen did not go to the county town first but came to the state-owned hotel in the town. The state-owned hotel was familiar with people, so Li Wen was ready to sell some of the eggs.

When he walked into the restaurant and saw Brother Ma at the checkout, Li Wen was confused.

"Brother Xiao Ma, are you promoted?" Li Wen stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Hey! It's Brother Wenzi. I haven't seen you here for a while." Xiao Ma, who was settling accounts, raised his head and saw Li Wen and was very happy.

Li Wen is a good friend of theirs, and the employees of their hotel got a lot of benefits from Li Wen last year.

"It's not like Sister Zhang will be transferred to the county later this year. I have a good high school diploma, so I was promoted to be an accountant." Xiao Ma said with a happy face.

"So that's it. Congratulations to Brother Ma, and I wish you a bright future. I don't have anything to give you, so I borrowed flowers to offer this pack of red plum cigarettes to Buddha." Li Wen smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ma.

Marco.

"Oh, it's actually a cadre cigarette. It's hard for ordinary people to buy it!" Xiao Ma said in surprise.

When Xiao Ma heard a pack of cigarettes, he was not embarrassed to accept it. Unexpectedly, Li Wen actually gave him cadre cigarettes, so he hurriedly accepted it. This cigarette will be used to entertain the leaders in the future, and the leaders will look down upon him.

"Thank you, Brother Wenzi. I haven't smoked this red plum cigarette yet, so I accepted it with a shameful face." Brother Xiao Ma felt that his behavior just now was a bit disrespectful, scratched his head and said with a smile.

"We are all friends, why are you so polite, Brother Ma, where is Uncle Wu?" Li Wen asked, changing the subject.

"I'm resting in the reception room in the backyard. It's still early at this time, so the apprentices can just be busy in the kitchen." Brother Ma pointed to the backyard and said.

"Alright, Brother Ma, please do your business first. I'm going to the backyard to find Uncle Wu." Li Wen and Brother Ma waved their hands and walked into the backyard carrying baskets on their backs.

"Uncle Wu, your life is so comfortable!" As soon as Li Wen entered the door, he saw the bald old Wu lying on the rocking chair and listening to the radio.

"It's your boy. I haven't been here for a while. Did the gust of wind bring you here today?" Old Wu stood up and sat up with a smile and asked Li Wen to sit down.

"It's been a long time since I've come to see Uncle Wu and Aunt Zhang. Let's have a look today." Li Wen chatted with Old Wu with a smile.

"You kid! Your Aunt Zhang was transferred to the County's State-owned Hotel Acquisition Office as an accountant at the end of February. I wanted to see you but I can't." Old Wu picked up the teapot and said with a smile.

"Then my Aunt Zhang has been promoted." Li Wen was also happy for Zhang Xia to be transferred to the county seat.

Zhang Xia and Zhang Wenjie are married, one works in the county town and the other works in the town, and they live in the county town. It is inconvenient and unsafe for Zhang Xia to ride more than ten miles to get off work every day.

"Well, it's okay to be transferred to the county. It's really inconvenient for your family to have a woman traveling back and forth between the county and the town all day long for work." Old Wu said with a smile.

"Is there anything else you want to do today?"

The two chatted for a while, and Lao Wu glanced at the heavy basket Li Wen carried on his back and asked.

"Hey, good thing!" Li Wen opened the sack on the backpack, revealing a basket full of eggs.

"Not bad. With so many eggs, this basket weighs forty kilograms, right?" Old Wu was not too surprised when he saw the basket full of eggs.

"Exactly forty-five pounds." Li Wen said with a smile. He weighed it with a scale in the space.

"Your eggs are pretty big. I charged them 40 cents per pound. Come on, let's go to the front and weigh them for you." Old Wu stood up, took two eggs, weighed them and said.

"okay!"

Li Wen picked up the backpack and followed Lao Wu to the front to let Brother Xiao Ma pass the scale. 45 pounds was no problem, but a little too much.

Wenzi gave you the money ticket, and Xiao Ma Ge smiled and handed the money ticket to Li Wen. They often do this kind of thing, as long as it is not too excessive, no one will pursue the minor problems.

Li Wen took the money and took a look at it. There were 18 yuan in total, as well as ten kilograms of food stamps and some household bills. Li Wen was very satisfied.

After all, the supply and marketing cooperative only sells a pound of eggs for 5 to 60 cents. Although the price is not as high as the black market, this transaction is safe and you can still earn money.

"If Brother Ma needs anything in the future, just ask." Li Wen patted his chest and boasted to Brother Ma.

"Okay, brother, I'm not polite." Brother Xiao Ma was also happy to deal with Li Wen.

"Uncle Wu, I'm going to live in the county town from now on. I'm here to talk to you today. If you find a house, I'll give you the address. If you need anything, you can come to me in the county town." Before leaving, Li Wen explained to Old Wu the main purpose of his visit today.

"That's fine. Young people have to go out and have adventures. They can't stay in the village all day." Old Wu nodded and agreed very much with Li Wen's approach.

After bidding farewell to old Wu Liwen, he rode his bicycle slowly and leisurely to his aunt's house in the county town.

"Auntie, I'm here."

Li Wen pushed open the ajar door and shouted inside.

"Awen is here." Li Xiulan was gluing matchboxes in her room when she heard Li Wen's voice and walked out of the room with a smile.

"Why did Awen come to the county today? It's not even the weekend!" Li Xiulan brought over a plate of melon seeds for Li Wen to knock.

"Auntie, I'm going to be busy with farming, and it's not convenient for me to be at home. So I'm going to rent a house in the county to write with peace of mind." Li Wen explained his purpose to Li Xiulan with a smile.

"You can just stay at my aunt's house, why don't you go out and rent a house?" Li Xiulan waved her hand and said.

"No, aunt. Your family's house is also tight. The jobs of your eldest cousin and second cousin have also stabilized. Next, we have to talk about the marriage. We can't have two brothers living in the same house."

"Besides, I'm staying here for a long time. My eldest brother and my second brother have been bothering you for several months."

"It is my father's intention to come here this time. He asked my eldest brother and the others to move out and live with me, so auntie, please don't say anything." Li Wen waved his hand and said.

Hearing what Li Wen said, Li Xiulan didn't try to persuade her to stay. Indeed, she had been looking for partners for her eldest son in recent months. When her son gets married, the house at home will indeed not be enough to live in.

"It's hard to find a house to rent now, please help me find out who has a vacant house for rent, and rent a yard for me. The three of us brothers will have to live in it by then, so it needs to be bigger." Li Wen smiled.

He put forward his request.

"This girl really didn't pay attention. In this case, when your uncle comes back at noon, ask him to help you go to the street office to ask."

"Your uncle has a good relationship with Director Liu of the subdistrict office, and he will be able to help you find a better house." Li Xiulan thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll listen to you. Anyway, you can find it in a day or two. I'll also ask someone to look for it." Li Wen said with a smile.

After chatting with Li Xiulan for a while, Li Wen said he was going out for a walk, got up and left aunt Li Xiulan's house.

Li Wen did not go to Zheng Kai, Wang Feng and the others, but came to the county state-owned hotel with a jar of honey.

Zhang Xia also takes great care of Li Wen, a junior. Now that he has been transferred to the county seat, Li Wen should pay him a visit.

It would be working hours, so no one would be at home. Besides, Li Wen didn't know where Zhang Xia's home was, so it would be best to go directly to the work.

"Hello, lesbian, I would like to ask where the acquisition office of your state-owned hotel is. I'm looking for Comrade Zhang Xia."

Li Wen walked into the door of the state-owned hotel and saw the female employee who was cleaning the table and stepped forward with a smile and asked.

The female employee looked to be in her thirties. She raised her head and saw that Li Wen had a good attitude and was still a child.

He smiled and said: "Hello, little comrade, there is a store next to the back door of the hotel with a sign on it. Sister Zhang is there." He pointed to the small street next to the state-owned hotel.

"Thank you!" Li Wen smiled and walked out of the hotel.

"Aunt Zhang!"

Arriving at the back door of the state-owned hotel, Li Wen immediately saw Zhang Xia sitting behind the table knitting a sweater.

"It's Awen! How did you know I was here?" Zhang Xia stood up in a hurry.

"I didn't know until I went to the hotel in town that you, aunt, were transferred to the county. Today I made a special trip to the county to visit you." Li Wen chuckled. ωωw..net

"I believed you when you said you came to see your aunt by the way, but I didn't believe you when you made a special trip." Zhang Xia chuckled.

"This is your gift." Li Wen took out the honey from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xia.

"You kid, you're so particular. I've learned all the tricks of the old society."

"Hehe!" Li Wen smiled and said nothing.

"Auntie, are you in charge of purchasing supplies for state-owned hotels now?" Li Wen asked, looking at the big words "Purchasing Office".

"That's not true. There are directors who handle large purchases. I just buy scattered goods." Zhang Xia shook her head and said.

"Auntie, can you collect the eggs and rabbits? I have a batch of eggs and a lot of fat rabbits in my hand." Li Wen said after hitting the snake.
