Chapter 508: Conscientious Seller(1/4)

"Who is it?"

Zhou Changli was leaning on the kang of the concierge and reading a novel. When he heard the movement at the door, he couldn't help but throw the book that was almost torn in his hand onto the kang and shouted impatiently.

Ever since that person gave him the key, he has never been free again and has to work as a concierge here every day.

Sometimes when something happens at home, I have to ask my brother to come over and replace me, just for fear that something will go wrong here.

Or perhaps, I'm afraid that that person will suddenly come to the door and see that I'm not there, which will cause a lot of excitement.

But there is no liveliness here, only at night it looks like a deep house with a huge mouth, and I always feel uncomfortable sleeping here at night.

However, recently there is a mason who often comes to see the site, and he said that he was the one who asked me to come.

Because the words were right, he let the other party check the house.

But he also kept an eye on it, and every time the man came to inspect the venue, he followed him around.

Regardless of whether you are a worker or not, regardless of whether the concierge is temporary or not, if a monk like you is here for a day, the yard will not lose half a brick.

At this moment, I thought it was the mason who had arrived, so I took my cloth shoes and went out to open the east door next to the concierge.

The east gate is a small door, next to it is the carriage door for carriages and horses, and it is at the Xun position of the entire house. It is very convenient to enter and exit here, so he arranged his residence here.

It wasn't that he was too polite not to live in the large concierge at the front door, but it was that he felt terrified living alone in such a big house.

The concierge's room here is bigger than their house. I often can't sleep at night, so I don't dare to live in a big one.

It's not like I haven't thought about asking a few brothers to come over and play cards or something, it would be a better time.

But after thinking about that sour-faced character, I really didn't have the guts to make this place a mess.

But when does this kind of day come to an end? You can't really think of yourself as a stupid boy, just working like an animal for nothing!

So I was complaining about Li Xuewu in my heart, and I was complaining a little bit in my mouth.

"Knock, knock, knock, it won't make a sound. I've already come out, and you still..."

He muttered like this and pulled the door open. Just when he was about to say something to the mason, he saw the mason standing at the door with squinted eyes looking at him.

"Li...Director Li"

"It seems that you like it here very much, and you have adapted to the role of concierge."

Li Xuewu stretched out his hand and pushed open the half-sliding door on the other side, stepped into the courtyard, and said: "Look at your tone, you are more stylish than the concierge who lived here before."

Zhou Changli couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the figure entering the courtyard. He never expected that this person was here.

At first I was expecting him to come but he wouldn't come, and I was counting the days day by day. But now it's better, I don't have any hope anymore, but he has come.

Just come when you come, but you happen to catch yourself complaining, now you are in trouble.

"close the door"

Li Xuewu stood in the yard and walked around. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Changli pretending to be a stone lion at the gate.

"Why!"

Zhou Changli responded, then stiffened and closed the door.

My hand habitually wanted to lock the door, but thinking of the person behind me, I hesitated and put it down.

Li Xuewu looked at the little man who came over cautiously and asked, "Are you tired of waiting?"

"No...no"

Zhou Changli is good-looking and smart, and he can talk normally.

At this moment, he saw that Li Xuewu had some garlic in his mouth.

I don’t know why, maybe it was the first time I met that big mouth for no reason, or seeing Li Xuewu’s great wrestling, or seeing Li Xuewu shooting in the ice rink.

Anyway, I know that this person is a troublemaker if he dares to take action.

Li Xuewu looked Zhou Changli up and down. He was still dressed at attention, but he was still wearing thick clothes on his upper body.

Obviously, there is no time to go home and change in the past few days, or there is no time to go shopping in the streets to change.

From Ding Wanqiu's mouth, I learned that this boy was not an honest and timid boy. He no longer lived at home and usually spent his time eating on the streets.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"No...eat, eat"

Zhou Changli wanted to say that he had not eaten, but when he realized that Li Xuewu was asking if he had eaten, he quickly replied.

Li Xuewu looked him up and down again, then nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Zhou Changli hesitated whether to follow him. He was originally afraid of Li Xuewu, and now he wished that the other party had told him to let him go.

But the other party actually asked me if I had eaten. What did you mean?

Now I saw Li Xuewu going to the Flower Hall, so I gritted my teeth and followed him.

I have been doing useless work here for so long. If I don't hang out in front of that person's eyes now, wouldn't this work be in vain?

As soon as you enter the east gate, the area that used to be the carriage house is extremely spacious.

According to Ding Wanqiu's introduction, his father raised many good horses and large carts.

However, when he became the head of the family, he saw foreign cars and was annoyed that they were comfortable and stylish. The prodigal son sold all the good horses and cars his father had saved and bought a car.

Because there are no horses here and there is no parking space, the carriage house was bulldozed and used for parking.

But Li Xuewu looked at it now. He was so rich even though he had ten big trucks parked side by side. How many good things did this rich kid buy and waste?

When we entered the flower hall, the decorations were still the same as before, but the wrestling mats were stacked in the corners, and the floor was still made of terrazzo tiles.

Surrounded by corrugated glass windows, the surroundings are translucent. The sun is slightly slanting at this moment, and every detail in the house is illuminated.

Maybe it was because I hadn't opened the window for a long time, so it was a bit stuffy when I entered the room.

"You're just squatting here with the concierge?"

Li Xuewu looked at the furniture and furnishings in the room and said to Zhou Changli behind him without looking back: "I don't know why I open the windows in these rooms to let the air out."

"..."

Zhou Changli almost choked to death because he didn't call Li Xuewu, who agreed to be your concierge? He didn't get any credit for the relationship, and he was punished by this person.

However, he knew who the person who was training him was, so he didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he could only lie down and stand at the door.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Xuewu did not listen to the answer, glanced at the door, and then knocked on the armrest of the armchair.

In fact, he was just pretending. Even though his grandfather was a carpenter, he knew all about wood but knew nothing about it.

After walking around for a while, he came out from the back door of the flower hall and walked around the yard on the right.

In fact, the more I look at it, the worse it gets. Ding Wanqiu, a prodigal, doesn't feel sorry for this yard at all.

The water in the big tank in the yard has dried up, and it is full of fallen leaves and dust. The bottom is dark and I don’t know what it is.

A few trees are still alive, but they have grown crookedly and have lost their shape at all.

Xu saw Li Xuewu frowning, and Zhou Changli, who was following him, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded him in a low voice: "I can't take care of so many houses by myself."

Li Xuewu turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I didn't ask you to clean up."

Seeing Li Xuewu say this, Zhou Changli shrank his neck and took a step indifferently.

You really want me to clean it up, and I have to do it too. How long have you been saving for this? If there is no manpower, the front foot will be cleaned up, and the back foot will have to collect dust.

In the past, what did the officials do to keep so many servants and ladies? Because the yard was too big, they all had to ask their wives to clean it, and they would die from exhaustion.

Li Xuewu ignored him and walked around again. This was the first time he inspected the yard in such detail and comprehensively.

I even looked at the basement located in the backyard of the main house.

According to Ding Wanqiu, this basement is a bank and warehouse.

But it was not dug by their family, nor was it dug by their previous homeowner. It had been there a long time ago.

It's possible that it will be available tomorrow, maybe.

Why was Ding Wanqiu so sure that it was not dug by his family, nor by the previous homeowner?

Because in the era he knew, the family had no money to store and no capital.

Li Xuewu walked around in a big circle, but still read without hesitation. He also watched it for nearly an hour.

The house here is in worse condition than the one in the courtyard and needs to be carefully repaired.

Master Dou said that many brick and tile structures had to be dismantled and rebuilt, especially houses that had not been inhabited all year round.

This is especially true for window frames and the like. The paint has long since peeled off, and the prodigal son didn't know how to paint. The rain has weathered the wood.

However, after Li Xuewu thought about it, it was not bad to live in such a big yard alone and live like this.

If we let him go, he might not be as clean as others, not to mention the eldest brother, let alone the second brother.

After returning to the east courtyard gate, Li Xuewu stopped, looked at Zhou Changli who was following behind and asked, "How old are you?"

"Seventeen"

Now following Li Xuewu around the courtyard, Zhou Changli was no longer nervous and answered Li Xuewu's questions much faster.

Li Xuewu took a look at Zhou Changli's height. Perhaps it was because he didn't have enough to eat, so he was not very tall.

"Is there any real business?"

Zhou Changli glanced at Li Xuewu, lowered his head and didn't reply. What he was thinking was, look at what you said, who with a decent business can look at the door of your house for such a long time.

Li Xuewu looked at this young man and seemed to see his former self.

But he himself has already taken the right path at his age, so he is lucky.

Fortunately, I have a father who takes care of me, a mother who takes care of me, and a third-uncle relationship.
