19: move place

Yang Qi, having grown up in the countryside, didn't feel unaccustomed to living in an old rural house.

Besides, he had fallen in love with this large courtyard at first sight.

The three had just come down from the second floor together when they saw two women enter through the main gate, one middle-aged with long hair and one elderly with short hair.

Just as Yang Qi was momentarily stunned, he heard Bai Xue's voice from behind him: "Mom, Second Grandma, why are you here?"

Who was Yang Qi? He immediately reacted and hastily greeted them: "Hello, Auntie! Hello, Second Grandma! I'm Yang Qi!"

"Hello!" "Hello!"

After speaking, the two women stared at Yang Qi, scrutinizing him up and down.

And then the 'household registration' interrogation began.

This made Yang Qi, who wasn't nervous before, start sweating profusely and even his nose was moist.

What... what was happening?

"Oh, Second Grandma, Mom! What are you doing? Yang Qi is here to rent a house."

"Oh, right, to rent a house. Yang Qi, are you satisfied with my house?" The Second Grandpa also reacted.

Yang Qi replied, "Second Grandpa, I'm very satisfied with this house. How much do you want for rent?"

"Satisfaction is all that matters. As for the rent, for the entire courtyard, considering Bai Xue, it'll be 1000 yuan a month, no deposit. If it's not convenient for you now, you can pay later!" The old man said straightforwardly.

"Also, the Casuarina forest in front is also mine. As long as you don't cut down trees, you can use it as well."

"Great! Thank you, Second Grandpa! Then I'll rent it. Can I rent it for one year first?"

"No problem, let's rent it for one year first, and the rent will be paid quarterly."

"Then I'll transfer the money to you now!" Yang Qi asked.

After that, the two added each other on WeChat, and Yang Qi transferred the rent.

The old man also took Yang Qi to check the electricity and water meters. Yang Qi had already confirmed that both water and electricity were working normally.

At this time, Bai Xue's mother had already pulled her daughter outside and started asking what was going on.

Last night, Bai Xue came home and said she had a friend who wanted to rent a house. When she described the conditions, everyone thought of the Second Grandpa's vacant house.

Just now, a woman ran to her house and said that Bai Xue was bringing her boyfriend to rent the Second Grandpa's house.

So they rushed over to see what was happening.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother!

She could already tell that her daughter seemed to have 'those' feelings for this young man. She had to get to the bottom of this.

Bai Xue, blushing, said: "Mom, you're overthinking it! There's nothing going on!"

By the time the two went inside, the agreement had already been signed and sealed, and the contract was finalized.

As they left together, the Second Grandpa pointed to the somewhat overgrown farm road and said, "There weren't so many houses here before, only a small path leading to my house.

I built this road myself back then, and it cost a lot. Take some time to tidy it up; it will make getting around much easier."

"Okay! I'll get to it when I have time!"

"Then all these keys are yours! You can move in whenever you like!"

"I plan to tidy up today and move in."

"Alright! Then you go ahead and get busy, we're leaving! If anything happens while you're living here, just say the word, Xiao Xue knows where I live!"

"Okay, thank you, Second Grandpa!"

Then the three left together. Before leaving, Bai Xue's mother gave Bai Xue a deep look, and at the same time invited Yang Qi to visit their home when he had time!

Yang Qi looked around with satisfaction. The housing problem was finally solved! Next up was making money without distractions.

The courtyard would definitely need some renovation, but he'd take it slow.

Three rooms on the first floor: one kitchen, one for the dining and living room, and the last one as a utility room for fishing gear and equipment. He'd also buy a large freezer to store some seafood he wanted to eat!

How delightful!

"Ah Xue, thank you for helping me find such a great house."

"It's good that you find it suitable! By the way, are you moving now? Then I'll help you move!"

"I don't have much other luggage, but I do have a two-wheeled electric bike to bring over. If possible, could you help me drive that over?"

"Okay! No problem. I'll go tell my mom, in case she can't find me later!"

"Alright! I'll wait for you here!"

Soon, Bai Xue returned!

Yang Qi put the fishing gear into one room. He locked the main gate.

The two drove the tricycle back to the city together.

On the way, Yang Qi called his landlord to inform him about moving out.

In the rental house, Yang Qi packed his luggage, which wasn't much. It was just his clothes, and one suitcase wasn't even full.

The kitchen items, however, took up some space. Two people, two trips each, and everything was moved.

Some old, unused items were simply thrown into the trash.

The landlord also returned the deposit to Yang Qi. No dramatic events occurred.

Returning to Qingshan Town, Yang Qi went to a furniture store and bought two simple beds with mattresses, and a set of plastic tables and chairs.

He left his address and phone number with the shop owner. After arranging the delivery time, he went home first.

Passing by a hardware store, he bought a sickle, planning to use it to clear the farm road later.

Back home, he had only tidied up for a bit when the furniture delivery truck arrived, and everything was quickly installed!

After everything was settled, he checked the time; it was almost 11 o'clock.

Bai Xue was preparing to go home. Yang Qi smiled and said, "Ah Xue, thanks to your help today, let me treat you to lunch."

Bai Xue hesitated for a moment but still nodded in agreement.

The two went to the "Fly Restaurant" in town and ordered a few home-style dishes.

During the meal, Yang Qi said he wanted to raise some chickens using the Casuarina forest. He'd free-range them in the woods, letting the chickens forage for themselves, and feeding them small fish and shrimp as supplements!

For fishing, he would temporarily focus on shore fishing. Once he saved enough money, he would buy a boat and go sea fishing.

He also told Bai Xue how he had earned money by fishing these past few days.

Bai Xue's eyes lit up, thinking it was a very good idea, and she even offered some suggestions.

After the meal, Yang Qi walked Bai Xue home. When he saw the farm road, Yang Qi looked at the overgrown path, and a plan was already forming in his mind.

Back in the courtyard, Yang Qi lay on the bed to rest, thinking about his future blueprint, filled with motivation.

He knew that here, his new life was about to begin.

"How can one be greedy for sleep in life? One will sleep forever after death!"

Time to get up and work. It's best to get most of it done today, and then a little each day for the rest. Tomorrow, he would continue fishing to earn money.

He took the sickle and began to cut the weeds on the farm road. It took him a full two hours to clear the path.

Walking onto the seawall road, Yang Qi saw a small dock ahead. It should belong to the village, with a few scattered small boats moored there.

Standing on the dock, Yang Qi activated his ability, walking and stopping, checking the seabed resources.

The resources under the dock were average; there were fish but not many.

He shook his head and continued walking. After another 30 meters or so, Yang Qi suddenly discovered countless Rockfish densely packed on the seabed. Were they having a meeting?

"This is the rhythm of getting rich!"
