Rebirth 78 was replaced by a husband, the cold educated youth pulled the curtains every day

As the sky brightened, more and more people appeared on the road.

Li Mingzhu lay on Lu Ye's legs and fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.

This was the most peaceful sleep she had had in a long time.

Those warm legs made her feel extremely safe.

"Hey, it's time to get up." Lu Ye patted Li Mingzhu's shoulder lightly.

"What? Let me sleep a little longer."

Li Mingzhu, who was greedy for this warmth, hugged Lu Ye's legs and rubbed her face on them, not even willing to open her eyes.

"Then you continue to sleep here. I have to leave first."

After enduring the cold wind for half the night, Lu Ye could no longer sit still.

She immediately pulled out one leg. Without support, Li Mingzhu dodged and almost fell to the ground.

People also become more energetic.

"Stingy." Li Mingzhu pouted and said somewhat unhappily.

Lu Ye ignored her. After stretching his stiff body, he stood up and walked towards the bridge.

"Wait for me." Seeing this, Li Mingzhu hurriedly followed.

On the street, there was a constant stream of pedestrians rushing to work in the morning. Lu Ye and Li Mingzhu walked among the crowd, and people looked at them from time to time.

Li Mingzhu was originally dressed in rags and was a little beggar.

Lu Ye spent the night with her and was in a very miserable state.

Arriving at the breakfast shop, Lu Ye bought two large fried dough sticks, and the two of them sat on the side of the road and started eating.

Li Mingzhu enjoyed the steaming hot fried dough sticks with great relish.

"Where are we going later?"

"Go find a place to live."

Li Mingzhu felt very happy. No matter what kind of house it was, it would definitely be better than the bridge hole where she slept.

In this era, whether it is public housing or self-built housing, there is no property certificate.

The public housing in each factory is a very precious resource, and employees are scrambling to get one.

Three generations of a family live in a public housing unit of dozens of square meters, which is not even enough for their own home.

There is basically no chance of renting public housing.

In his previous life, Lu Ye came to Hua County. He first stayed in a guesthouse for a few days, and also stayed at Zhao Xiaolong's house for a few days. After that, he rented a self-built house, which was also in the shantytown behind the stadium.

Compared to public housing areas, houses in shanty towns are easier to find.

After eating fried dough sticks, Lu Ye led Li Mingzhu to the shantytown.

There are no agents, and no one posts rental information on the wall.

If you want to rent a house, there is only one word: ask!

A mouth under the nose.

When Lu Ye walked in the shantytown, he would ask some women he saw: Do you know who is looking to rent out a house?

Walked for a whole morning.

Lu Ye asked at least fifty people.

Finally found a family that was renting out a house.

There are two adobe houses, with a total area of ​​about 40 square meters, and they have front and back yards. You can grow vegetables in the summer and save a lot of money on buying vegetables.

There is a main room in the house, and a partition is made between the kitchen and the small room at the back.

Although there was not much furniture, Lu Ye was still very satisfied.

"Auntie, I like this house. How much do you want to rent it for?"

The owner of the house is an old lady who has been living here alone since her husband passed away. Some time ago, they had two happy events: her daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, and her son was allocated a house in the electromechanical factory.

The son asked her to move to the new house so that she could help take care of the children and also avoid having to live here alone without anyone to take care of her.

The empty house can be rented out, which can provide extra income for the family.

"Our house has its own door and yard, so the price is a bit higher. It's at least 8 yuan a month."

The rent of 8 yuan is actually not that high. After all, it is not easy to find a house with a yard where you can grow vegetables.

Lu Ye nodded directly: "Okay, 8 yuan is 8 yuan, we will rent this house."

"Auntie, I'll come and give you the money at 5 o'clock tonight." Lu Ye didn't have that much money on him now, so he could only wait until he settled the payment with Zhao Xiaolong in the evening.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here tonight."

The old lady was also straightforward and did not look down on Lu Ye or Li Mingzhu just because their clothes were dirty or torn.

Li Mingzhu looked at the house. Although it was not new and not big, it could shelter her from the wind and rain and provide her with warmth.

At the gate of No. 1 Middle School.

After the last meeting, Zhao Xiaolong and Lu Ye were obviously much more skilled this time.

The two met at the entrance of the alley.

"I've never seen this little brother before."

Zhao Xiaolong saw that Lu Ye had brought someone with him. After looking at Li Mingzhu, he couldn't tell that she was a woman.

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Don't you want more goods? I can't do it alone, I have to find a helper."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolong laughed.

"That's a good feeling."

"This is the money from the last batch of goods, a total of 8.7 yuan, and these are 93 kilograms of food coupons."

Zhao Xiaolong handed the money and food coupons to Lu Ye respectively. Just like last time, Lu Ye didn't count them and put them directly into his pocket.

"gone!"

Lu Ye led Li Mingzhu and quickly disappeared in the crowd of people leaving school.

The scene just now made Li Mingzhu even more curious about Lu Ye’s business.

"What goods did he just talk about? I didn't see you give him anything, so why did he give you the money?"

"Don't ask too much. I will tell you what you should know sooner or later. If you ask about things you shouldn't know, you're breaking the rules." Lu Ye said indifferently.

Although he agreed to take Li Mingzhu with him, speculation and profiteering were illegal after all. He had just straightened out this line of thought and didn't want to create any more complications.

After being ridiculed, Li Mingzhu pouted.

"Stingy!"

When they returned to the yard, the old lady was indeed waiting for them in the house.

Lu Ye counted out 8 yuan and handed it directly to the other party.

The old lady was very happy after receiving the money. In this era when the monthly salary is 36 yuan, an 8 yuan subsidy per month is quite a lot for a family.

"Here are the keys. I'm handing the house over to you. Remember to prepare next month's rent. I'll come to collect it after Labor Day."

"Don't worry, we will definitely prepare in advance."

After the landlord left, only Lu Ye and Li Mingzhu were left in the house.

Lu Ye took out 5 cents and ten kilograms of food coupons and handed them to Li Mingzhu: "Take these money and food coupons first. Make yourself something to eat tonight. Lock the doors and windows when you sleep, and be careful."

"Are you leaving?" Li Mingzhu looked at Lu Ye eagerly.

"Otherwise, I've already spent a whole day and night with you. If I don't go home soon, people will think I'm missing."

"Also, wash your clothes thoroughly. They stink to death. Luckily, the lady there didn't dislike you, otherwise she might not even rent the house to us."

Lu Ye chattered on and on, and arranged a lot of things for Li Mingzhu before leaving with satisfaction.

Li Mingzhu bit her lips lightly and looked at Lu Ye's departing back with a gleam in her eyes.

This was the first time in her life that she felt warmth from a man.

It feels so good to be cared for by others.
