Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 20 020: Settling down in Beijing

Seeing her mother like this, Ni Yan smiled and said, "When I make money in the future, I will definitely buy you a TV."

In this era, a black-and-white TV costs about 500 yuan. Now that she is short of money, she can't afford it yet.

Ni Cuihua immediately waved her hands, "We don't want this! It's such a waste of money! Yanyan, if you had money, mom would rather send you to school than buy such useless things. This can neither fill your stomach nor keep out the cold. What’s the use?” Studying is the only chance for rural people to get ahead.

Ni Yan smiled slightly and stopped talking.

Ni Cuihua continued: "Teach your godmother how to turn on this TV."

Ni Yan taught Ni Cuihua how to turn the TV on and off, and how to change channels. At this time, TVs did not have remote controls and all had manual buttons.

Although Ni Cuihua had never studied, she was very smart. Ni Yan only taught her once and she learned it.

That night, Ni Cuihua sat on the bed and watched TV most of the night, but Ni Yan went to bed early.

The next day, at dawn, Ni Chenggui, who lived next door, came and knocked on the door.

"Yanyan, let me take you to have a special breakfast in the capital, and then set off after eating."

Ni Chenggui still behaved very fashionably today. Compared with Ni Cuihua, mother and daughter, they were as good as heaven and earth.

However, although Ni Yan was wearing shabby clothes, standing in front of Ni Chenggui, his momentum was not bad at all.

Clothes have always complemented people, but when it came to her, people complemented clothes. Even the shabby clothes could not cover up the brilliance of her body.

The four of them set off for breakfast.

At this time, the capital was not as prosperous as later generations, and management was not as strict. There were still many places that were not developed. Both sides of the road were crowded with vendors setting up stalls selling breakfast, which was very lively.

In the morning I had fried cakes and bean juice, which tasted very good.

After breakfast, the three adults and one child got on the trolley bus and set off for Ni Chenggui's home in the suburbs.

Trolleybuses are equivalent to today's buses, the kind that stop at the station.

In the capital city of this era, although the traffic was not congested, there were still many people on the bus, almost heel to heel.

After driving around several times and struggling for nearly two hours, we finally arrived at Ni Chenggui's home.

It is located on the northwest edge of Beijing, bordering Yanjiao Province to the west and Wujin City to the east. It has convenient transportation and can reach the city in half an hour by trolley bus.

Compared with the bustling city, this place is no different from the countryside except for the convenient transportation.

Surrounded by mountains, people rely on farming to make a living.

"Yanyan, Yanyan's mother, this is my home." Ni Chenggui pointed to a courtyard behind him.

The courtyard looks a bit old, with white walls and black tiles, and it looks very quaint.

"Sister Chenggui, this house of yours is really magnificent." Ni Cuihua looked at the courtyard in front of her, her eyes filled with wonder.

In the past, the Mu family's conditions in Dama Village were outstanding, but they only had five mud houses. Such a high-end courtyard house must be worth a lot of money.

When she saw the courtyard house, Ni Yan also temporarily stopped thinking about buying a house. She only had a thousand yuan in hand now. If she wanted to buy a courtyard house, it wouldn't be enough. She already had spare money and was thinking about it.

Ni Chenggui smiled faintly, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, "What's the use of having a house when everyone is gone?" After she finished speaking, she changed the topic and continued: "Come on, I will take you in to take a look."

The courtyard is very large, with a total of more than a dozen houses and nearly a thousand square meters.

Ni Chenggui pointed to the main house in the north and said: "I usually live here in the north. You two, mother and daughter, are watching and discussing which side of the house you want to live in. There are five houses on each side including the kitchen and toilet. The rent is the same. 15 yuan a month.”

15 yuan?

So expensive!

Ni Cuihua was so frightened that she swallowed her saliva. Although she knew that Ni Yan had 1,000 yuan given by Zhou Changzheng, their trip to the capital had cost them a little over 200 yuan. If they kept spending like this, let alone a thousand yuan. , even a gold mountain can be spent.

"Yanyan." Ni Cuihua pulled Ni Yan's sleeve. She now subconsciously regards Ni Yan as her backbone.

"I'm measured." Ni Yan patted Ni Cuihua's hand.

Fifteen yuan is indeed quite expensive nowadays, but if you think about it from another perspective, fifteen yuan can rent five houses, and this is still in the capital. Thinking about it this way, fifteen yuan is not expensive.

"Aunt Ni, I've rented your house. Let's pay one year's rent first." With that, Ni Yan counted 180 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Ni Chenggui.

Ni Chenggui was surprised to see Ni Yan so cheerful. She thought Ni Yan would definitely have to make a counteroffer. After all, 180 yuan was not a small number.

If this were to happen in ordinary times, where could I rent my house in the suburbs? Ni Yan is simply his God of Wealth. What is the difference between this and the 180 yuan he picked up for free?

"Okay," Ni Chenggui accepted the money with a smile, "then you two go and clean up the house. You can use everything in the east room as you like. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me." Since Ni Smoking is so refreshing, so I can't be too stingy.

"Thank you, Aunt Ni." After thanking him, Ni Yan took Ni Cuihua into the east wing.

It was obvious that no one had lived in the east wing for a long time. All the furniture was piled up together. Not only was there a thick layer of dust on it, but it was also covered with a layer of spider webs.

Ni Cuihua first tidied up the bed and let Ni Yun sleep on the bed, and then cleaned the room with Ni Yan.

"Mom, you haven't given birth yet, so you can't touch the cold water. Just let me come here." Women in this era are really strong. Ni Cuihua gave birth to five children, and she didn't even do it for a month. What if If it were left to future generations, I'm afraid it would cause death!

"Mom is not that rich." Ni Cuihua said while wiping the table: "Have you been here for so many years! If you have to clean up these five rooms by yourself, how long will you be busy?" As a mother , Ni Cuihua already blames herself enough for not being able to protect her daughter, how can she hold her daughter back at this time.

Ni Cuihua couldn't be more stubborn, so Ni Yan could only let her go.

The mother and daughter worked hard all day, and only ate some biscuits at noon to cope with it. Finally, they tidied up the five rooms in the evening.

These five rooms are all connected. The middle room is the living room, the other two are Ni Yan and Ni Cuihua's rooms, and there is another free room.

"You two, mother and daughter, are so capable. In less than a day, this house has changed a lot!" Ni Chenggui appeared at the door holding a plate and said with a smile: "These are the steamed buns I steamed. I brought them to you to try. ”

Ni Yan took the plate with a smile, "Thank you. By the way, Aunt Ni, could you please take me to the village committee tomorrow? I want to go to the village to prove it."

If they come from other places and want to stay here for a long time, they must say hello to the local leaders and take care of things so that if they want to do anything in the future, it will be more convenient.

After all, Ni Yan has been a boss and is very thoughtful.

"Okay, no problem." Ni Chenggui said with a smile, "I just have a day off tomorrow, so I'll take you there."

"Thank you Aunt Ni."

At this time, Ni Cuihua walked out of the kitchen with noodles in her hand, "Sister Chenggui, haven't you eaten yet? Let's have noodles tonight. Let's sit down and eat together."
