Chapter 12 Rent

Tao Jin heard the voice, looked to the side, and bumped into a familiar face.

She was stunned there. She didn't expect to see the person she had been thinking about for so long here.

The village chief thought about it and nodded in agreement.

It just so happened that there were no young men of the right age in Grandma Li's family, and Grandma Li lived alone, so this educated youth Tao could more or less keep Grandma Li company.

At this time, Tao Jin followed Grandma Li with her luggage.

She didn't expect that this Grandma Li looked exactly like the grandmother who adopted her in her previous life.

Even their voices and steps are so similar.

This gave Tao Jin a glimmer of hope, and he walked over and called out to Grandma Li.

"Grandma, I'm Tao Jin."

When Grandma Li heard Tao Jin's voice, she looked at the educated youth in front of her and answered with a smile.

"Eh."

Seeing Grandma Li answer her, Tao Jin asked cautiously.

"Grandma Li, why did you let me live in your house?"

Grandma Li looked at Tao Jin and wanted to reach out to help her with the luggage, but Tao Jin dodged her.

Tao Jin even carried the luggage in his left hand and helped Grandma Li walk with his right hand.

Grandma Li looked at Tao Jin's actions and didn't insist on helping her with the luggage. Instead, she spoke to her.

"I don't know either. The first time I saw you, I felt like we had a connection. You looked familiar.

That’s why I let you live in my house. I hope you don’t mind.”

"Of course not. I also feel very close to my grandma when I look at her."

Tao Jin understood at this time that Grandma Li was not his grandmother.

But she also knew that she would feel more at home facing a face that looked like her grandmother's. She didn't expect that coming to Dafeng Village would bring her unexpected gains.

Tao Jin followed Grandma Li to her home and found that Grandma Li lived in a large blue brick and tile house.

Standing at the door, Grandma Li noticed Tao Jin's gaze as she was opening the door, and said to her.

"This house was built with the money my grandson sent back."

Tao Jin felt a little jealous when he heard this. His grandmother actually had a grandson, and he was no longer his grandmother's only grandson.

Tao Jin later realized that his jealousy was inexplicable.

Does that mean that just because he looks like his grandmother, others are not allowed to have grandchildren?

By this time, Grandma Li had already brought Tao Jin into the house. She stood in the yard and pointed to a sunny room and spoke to her.

"That room used to be my grandson's room, but he's in the army now, so it's empty.

You can live in that room. Actually, there are extra rooms, but they are not cleaned and the sunlight is not good.

You can stay in that room, it has the best sunlight."

Tao Jin did not refuse and took the luggage into the room. The room was very clean and all personal belongings had been put away by Grandma Li.

After Tao Jin entered the room, he took out new sheets, quilt covers, new quilts and silk quilts from the space.

I also took out various decorations and spent an entire afternoon making my room look the way I wanted.

Tao Jin, who had just finished tidying up the house, was lying on the bed to rest when suddenly there was a knock on the door and Grandma Li's voice came.

"Tao Zhiqing, it's time for dinner."

When Tao Jin heard this, he quickly sat up, opened the door, walked out and said to Grandma Li embarrassedly.

"Sorry, Grandma Li, I was just cleaning the room. I should be the one making dinner."

Grandma Li looked at Tao Jin and smiled.

"No, I have to cook dinner by myself too. I'm glad you're here to keep me company."

Maybe because Tao Jin came, Grandma Li cooked three dishes by herself tonight, one vegetarian dish and two meat dishes.

Tao Jin tasted it and found that it tasted very similar to the taste of her grandmother's cooking in her memory, but not the same.

Grandma Li sat opposite Tao Jin, looked at her eating the food seriously, smiled and said.

"The little girl just needs to eat more vegetables."

While inviting Tao Jin to eat the dishes, he also wanted to add rice to Tao Jin's bowl.

Tao Jin couldn't eat much, so he quickly took the bowl back and said.

"That's enough, grandma. This food is enough to fill me up."

Grandma Li looked at Tao Jin and smiled.

"Then I'll put the food here. If you don't have enough, you can add some more."

"it is good."

Tao Jin nodded and continued to eat. After finishing the meal, Tao Jin took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Tao Jin, who had just finished washing the dishes and was about to go back to her room to lie down, heard someone knocking on the gate of Grandma Li's yard.

Tao Jin walked over and opened the door, and saw Zhou Song, Lin Le, and Zhao Jingshu standing at the door.

Tao Jin looked at them and asked curiously.

"what happened?"

Lin Le then explained the purpose of his visit.

"The four of us are now staying at other people's homes, so we want to discuss how much food to give, or how much to give for rent, so that the four of us can agree on the same amount."

Zhou Song was a little hesitant at first because he didn't bring much money with him.

But I still feel that I should give them some food, even if I can't give as much as the three of them, but I still have to show that I am not going there to eat and live for free.

Grandma Li had already returned to her room to rest, so the four of them sat in the yard and began to discuss how much to give.

Zhao Jingshu was the first to speak.

"I don't have much food. I only brought money with me. I think it would be better to just give me money."

Lin Le thought about it and nodded.

"Yes, I didn't bring much food with me. I was too lazy to bring any, so I just came here to buy it.

So, should we go to the village chief to buy some food?"

Tao Jin heard this and quickly said.

"By the way, my family has sent me some food. When I have time, I will go to the city to get it back. I won't have to go to the village chief to buy food anymore."

"Jin'er, you're so smart. If I had known earlier, I would have asked my mother to send me food. I wouldn't have to go buy it now."

Lin Le looked at Tao Jin with some envy, and at the same time regretted that he had not thought of sending something.

Zhou Song was listening to the three people's discussion silently. He already had the most money his family could give him.

Halfway through the discussion, Lin Le suddenly said.

"By the way, am I not living in the village chief's house now?

Today I heard from the village chief that we should have a day off tomorrow and go back to work the day after tomorrow. I have never done farm work before.

But I asked the village chief, and he said that if we didn't have to rely on work points to make a living, we could go and collect grass for pigs.

Cutting grass for pigs isn't tiring, but it only yields two centimeters a day."

After hearing this, Tao Jin nodded with satisfaction and said to Lin Le.

"It just so happens that I'm going to go get some pig grass."

Zhao Jingshu also added.

"Then I'll go get some pig grass too."

Zhou Song looked at these three people with envy. It was clear that they did not rely on work points to exchange for food.

He couldn't do it himself, so he could only earn more work points to support himself while also wanting to reduce the burden on his family.
