Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

Chapter 144 Renting a House

"Of course!"

"By combining the three houses, we can accommodate more people in the future!"

"Moreover, it's not that far from the machine factory."

Chen Gang's explanation was very logical and reasonable.

That's right. The location is indeed suitable. The flow of people is one aspect, but more importantly, it's close to the suburbs, making transportation convenient.

The coal briquette machine weighs around 40 to 50 kilograms. If you mess with this kind of thing even a little, it can take up most of the day to unload it.

This is the only place that's convenient.

So, even though he felt a little awkward, Chen Mo could only nod: "Auntie, how much is the rent? Don't say no, that wouldn't be right!"

"Chen Mo, just name a number!" This time it wasn't his aunt who spoke up, but his uncle.

He winked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Three thousand!"

"It doesn't need that much!" The eldest uncle waved his hands repeatedly, "At most two thousand."

"It will be given at the end of the year."

Chen Mo spoke up: "No, three thousand it is!"

My aunt said, "Let's talk about it at the end of the year, let's talk about it at the end of the year!"

As she spoke, she approached the storefront and opened the door.

The inside of the door wasn't very clean; the previous tenant seemed to have left in a mess, with things scattered everywhere.

"The previous tenant left in a hurry, running away without paying the rent. You'll need to find someone to clean this place," Auntie said.

"The advantage is that the space is large enough that it should be ready to use after cleaning!"

"It won't delay you!"

Chen Mo looked at his uncle, whose eyes were full of innocence, so he spread his hands.

There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world.

Unless someone does it intentionally.

"Big brother, tell me as soon as possible how to adjust it!"

"In the future, you'll be right here!" Chen Mo said with a smile as he looked at Chen Gang.

Chen Gang looked at it carefully for a few more moments, then nodded emphatically: "Don't worry about it. I'll discuss it with my uncle and aunt in the next few days."

"Just come on time for the 15th!"

"Okay!" Chen Mo smiled. "Then, Auntie, it's settled. I'll head back now!"

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"No, I've already eaten!" Chen Mo replied, and walked out of the room.

My uncle followed closely behind.

As they left the shop, Chen Mo whispered, "Uncle, you asked Uncle for help, right?"

"No, it was my older brother who contacted me!" The younger uncle looked at Chen Mo: "You're still young, it's normal that you don't understand some things."

"It's normal for couples to have disagreements, but when have you ever seen your uncle wear clothes with patches?"

"You'll understand when you're older!"

Chen Mo's uncle patted him on the shoulder and then got on his bicycle.

"Uncle, wait for me, I need to go pick out some clothes." Chen Mo also pushed his bicycle.

"Then you'd better ride faster!" the uncle chuckled, then stepped on the pedals.

Chen Mo hurriedly followed.

The streets were deserted at this time of afternoon, including the clothing stores.

My aunt was dozing off against the counter.

This clothing store was designed entirely by my uncle, and it's full of quirky and unconventional elements.

Moreover, he boldly used an entire mirror, making the shop twice as big.

Even better, everyone who receives the clothes can immediately see how they look on themselves.

Chen Mo had seen it several times before, so he wasn't surprised and walked straight into the shop.

Amidst the tinkling of the wind chimes at the shop entrance, the aunt rubbed her eyes and straightened up: "Oh, the second son's here!"

"Didn't you argue with your aunt?"

My aunt's eyes were filled with laughter.

"Auntie, when I saw Auntie's...that area, I was completely stunned!"

"Hey you, your nephew's praising you! Aren't you coming in?"

My uncle, who had been all smug just moments before, now hung his head and didn't dare to come in.

"Don't pay any attention to your uncle!" The aunt turned her face away. "But your aunt's place is really nice. Your aunt isn't a bad person, so relax!"

"Come, come, let your auntie pick out a couple of outfits for you!"

"Auntie, forget about the clothes, I'd like to ask if you have any small handbags for women?" Chen Mo gestured at his waist.

"I saw it on TV!"

"What's wrong? Who are you planning to give it to?" My aunt immediately perked up.

"Friend, friend!" Chen Mo waved his hand.

My aunt-in-law said, "Next time I go to buy supplies, I'll go take a look. If it's suitable, I'll buy a few!"

"Come in!"

My aunt emphasized her words.

The younger uncle obediently went into the house.

"Did you hear what your nephew said?"

"Next time something like this happens, just say so beforehand. It'll be so awkward if you don't tell me."

"And you need to keep an eye on the bag thing."

"Hi!" The younger uncle stretched: "Xiuli, you don't know, your sister-in-law has really changed."

"She was genuinely trying to help this time!"

My aunt turned her face away.

Chen Mo didn't even look at him: "Auntie, are we short of customers?"

"Of course we need it!" my aunt said.

"Oh, I see!"

"I'll make a batch of cards at the Red Star Antenna Factory. Anyone who buys an antenna can get a 10% discount on clothes from you by showing the card!"

"How is it?"

My uncle and aunt turned their heads at the same time, their eyes lighting up.

Everyone knows that Red Star antennas are incredibly popular right now.

If we really do that!

My uncle was about to speak when my aunt pulled him back, saying, "Okay."

"When your future partner comes to buy clothes, remember to mark their place, and I'll give it to them for free!"

The younger uncle then timidly spoke up: "Xiuli, if there are queues for antennas here, won't it be too busy?"

"Go!" Auntie waved her hand. "Why be afraid of having too many customers when you're in business?"

The uncle looked at Chen Mo, then turned his gaze back: "I'll take you to see the Red Star Antenna tomorrow morning, then you can talk!"

Aunt looked at Uncle and blinked: What's wrong? There are so many people?

"You'll find out tomorrow morning!" the uncle said.

Chen Mo's face was also full of smiles.

My uncle is used to being unreliable, so I would never get angry with him. Besides, he definitely doesn't have any bad intentions.

But that didn't stop him from complaining to his aunt.

After changing several outfits and trying on many clothes, Chen Mo finally chose a light gray coat himself.

As Chen Mo stepped out of the store, he touched the letter in his pocket.

This was sent by Liu Yue a few days ago. In the letter, she said that she was on duty today and asked him to go and check on his hand no matter what.

That's true. They had agreed to change the dressing every three days, but Chen Mo hasn't shown up at all in these past few days.

Li Guihua, on the other hand, is very punctual, going every Sunday.

Chen Mo kept walking, his bicycle wheels rolling across the street. In the afternoon, more and more people came, and in People's Park, there were even old men playing chess.

When I arrived at the hospital, it was crowded.

However, there aren't many people in the emergency room. When other departments are open, no one wants to go to the emergency room.

When Chen Mo saw Liu Yue, Liu Yue also turned her face, and their eyes met.

Liu Yue unconsciously looked away.

"Liu Yue, I'm here. Change the dressing!" Chen Mo said.

Liu Yue asked with a smile, "Where did you go the other day?"

"Why are you learning so mysteriously?"

"Did they go to Zhongzhou?"

As Liu Yue spoke, she casually removed the bandages from Chen Mo's hand.

Suddenly, she remembered something and abruptly stopped: "Wait a minute!"
