Chapter 196 Wet Room(1/2)
November 7th, the beginning of winter.
The Beginning of Dong that I saw when I looked through the calendar a few days ago has arrived before I knew it.
However, the weather is pretty good today. It’s sunny in the morning, and it’s very comfortable to shine on your body with warm sunshine. The temperature is about thirteen degrees. If it doesn’t turn cloudy, it should be around 18 degrees in the afternoon, which is very comfortable.
The new store and house have been rented out, and the original boss moved out yesterday. Today is the day when Xia Zhenyue moves.
In my memory, she moved home once, and moved from her original home to an alley.
And now it is the second time, I moved out of the alley and lived at the entrance of Yuzhile Community.
It was also moving, but the mood was obviously different these two times, and life is getting better.
The mother and daughter were packing things last night, and the goods in the small shop had to be packed and moved over, and the daily necessities had to be moved over. After living there for a long time, a lot of things were stuffed into the small house.
Xue Meier was also packing up her things and returning all kinds of gadgets she had hidden before to Xia Zhenyue, such as her hairpin, rubber, etc.
"Ah, the hairpin is rusted! Where have you hidden in Mei'er?"
“Meow wow.”
The kitten admitted his mistake obediently, but it didn't want to hide it for so long. At that time, it only wanted to hide it for a day or two, but it turned around and forgot it. It had been hidden for three or four years, and it was rusted when it took it out.
I still remember when I was wandering, moving was common for Xue Meier. Later, after I got a home, it liked to stay there, just like Xia Zhenyue. When it left that home and moved into the alley, it was also very uncomfortable.
But now it’s different. Xue Meier is very energetic and is quite curious about what the new home will look like. She hasn’t seen it yet and the requirements are not high. Just be able to bask in the sun at the door of the store.
Mei'er doesn't have much to bring, and she doesn't have a cat litter box or something. After all, she is a cat who can go to the toilet by herself and doesn't have much cat food. Most of the time she eats together, but there is a bowl, its exclusive small bowl.
"Meow."
Xue Meier came over with her bowl in her mouth and placed it next to Xia Ziyue.
"Okay, I won't forget to bring it."
Xia Zhengyue smiled and put Mei'er's bowl together and put it into the box.
"Hey, is Auntie moving?"
The girl who once introduced Xia Zhenyue to work as a part-time bear came in and said in surprise.
"Yes, I moved to the opposite community. What do the girl want to order?"
"I want to buy a bottle of mineral water..."
Fang Ru opened the cardboard box, took out a bottle of mineral water and stuffed it into her hand.
"No need to pay, just take it for a drink from the girl. Your work has been going well recently?"
"Yeah, that's OK, thank you aunt. Is it still open a convenience store when I move there?"
"Yes, I changed to a bigger store."
"Congratulations to my aunt, I'm healthy, and I've also changed to a new store. I'll come to your house to buy things in the future."
"I'm sorry, thank you~"
"Goodbye Mei'er~"
“Meow.”
The girl also squatted down and touched the kitten sitting at the door. For people like her who are wandering and working outside, the most humane place in the alley is this shabby shop.
The owners of nearby fast food restaurants and printing shops also came over and said hello. For them, the past or two months were still incredible. Fang Ru, who had witnessed his legs paralyzed for many years, slowly stood up and now he was leaving the alley to go to a better place.
When the sun shines into the alley, the alley becomes lively. When people come and go, they will curiously look at the movements in the store. While the mother and daughter are moving things, they will also look outside in a daze like the cats at the door.
Although the environment here is not very good, people have feelings and have spent the most difficult years here. No matter what, part of the soul remains here.
It's not heavy either. It's a goodbye to a part of the past. Thanks to the place to stay here.
At nine o'clock, Yu Zhile's voice came from the door of the store.
"Master, just park the car here..."
Yu Zhile jumped out of a tricycle that moved to transport goods. The alley was too narrow and a larger car could not get in, so he could only ask this kind of tricycle to transport goods.
Let’s look at the store again. It’s completely different from yesterday. The store’s shelves have been cleared. The mother and daughter, who are quick and diligent, have basically packed everything and packed it into bags and boxes of luggage.
Xia Zhengyue was squatting on the ground and sealing the box with transparent tape. When she heard the movement, she looked up.
"Have the things been packed?"
"Yeah, have you had breakfast? There are buns on the table."
Yu Zhile took a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, helped to move the heavy box to the cart, and put it up one by one, and Xia Zhengyue tacitly bandaged it with a tie rope.
Some large items were moved to the tricycle together with the cart, and the master also helped to set the position.
"There are a lot of things, and a truck will definitely not be able to ship it. Let's move all the goods there first."
"Zhile, thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, aunt, don't say that. I'll go there with the car to unload the goods first, and you guys will clean up."
The tricycle was filled with stuff. Yu Zhile climbed onto the car and found a place to sit down and sat down: "Master, let's go!"
"Sit down."
"It's very stable!"
The tricycle drove him and his luggage away again, crossed the road, and drove to the convenience store near the entrance of the community.
Yu Zhile took out the key and opened the door, asked the master to help unload the goods, moved the goods into the store, locked the door and ran again.
After four trips in a row, I finally finished transporting all the miscellaneous luggage.
Yu Zhile didn't feel tired. He worked very hard. Before he knew it, it was noon. He felt a little summery while he was busy, and his forehead and back were sweating.
There was no need to invite a tricycle for the last trip. Yu Zhile paid the shipping fee and packed three fast food nearby. The family then had their last lunch in the alley.
Xia Zhenyue and her daughter cleaned the house very carefully. When they returned it, they were even cleaner than when they rented it.
Two small carts put the last suitcase and the box containing miscellaneous items on it, bandaged it, and three people and one cat walked to the door of the store, closed and locked it.
Xia Zhenyue took the key and ran to the third floor to return it to the landlord, who also readily refunded the deposit.
When he returned to the store, Yu Zhile took out his cell phone: "Auntie, I'll take a photo for you."
"Ah, stand here?"
Like Xia Zhenyue, Fang Ru is not good at taking photos. The mother and daughter stand together, and the slightly cramped temperament under the camera is exactly the same.
"Let's go to the middle, Xiaoyue holds Mei'er and stands on the right, okay..."
Yu Zhile adjusted the angle and took a photo of the mother and daughter, Meier, and the store behind him.
It’s a pity that the store is too small and has not even had a signboard after operating for four years.
"You have to get a store name for a new store," Yu Zhile suggested.
"What should I call it?" Xia Zhenyue didn't know what name it was.
"What do you think of aunt?"
"Well...Siyuan Convenience Store."
Yu Zhile was stunned and realized that Xia Zhenyue's father was named Xia Siyuan.
In the past, Xia Zhenyue's family also had a small business, but the store name was Siyuan Hardware Store at that time.
Perhaps the mother and daughter had a long time ago, and they didn't use it before. They probably were afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, but now they are different.
Xia Zhenyue also nodded, "That's called Siyuan Convenience Store~"
“Meow~”
The name of the new store was confirmed like this. Although it was very ordinary, for the mother and daughter, it was the beginning of a new life. In it, there was also a warm smell that they could only experience.
"I've left, there's still a lot to clean up there."
Yu Zhile pulled a small cart, and Xia Zhengyue also pulled a small cart. Fang Ru hugged Xue Meier, and the three of them left the alley with a chatter and laughter.
The afternoon sun is very comfortable when it falls on you, the cool summer breeze and the warm winter sun are all very pleasant things.
After crossing the road, the old architectural style became different. The neat and spacious streets, rows of street trees, lively shops, and one of them was their new shop.
The location is quite good. Walking a few steps forward, it is at the entrance of Yu Zhilejia Community. This is not the first time Xia Zhenyue has been here, but she didn't expect that she has lived here now.
When the store opened, the mother and daughter began to sort out the luggage they had moved in.
"Xiaoyue, you go upstairs and clean up your house. I'll clean up the store here."
"Uh-huh!"
Xia Zhenyue went up the second floor from the stairs beside her, and Yu Zhile also followed with a broom and mop and other cleaning tools, and Xue Meier also ran up there.
"Mei'er, don't run around."
“Meow.”
I took out the key and opened the door. The house had been emptied and the boss had cleaned it. It looked pretty neat.
When the boss moved two days ago, Yu Zhile also came to help, so he flirted with many appliances and furniture that the boss could not take away. Some of the clean ones looked relatively new, so he happily took over them and could use them for the time being, so he could not buy them specially.
To be continued...
