When she crossed over, Li Hehua become a village woman full of meat. She's a good eater, lazy, sloppy and unre...
Mr. Fang was soon called back and Mrs. Fang immediately told him the situation. He agreed with it and said, "Okay, wait for a moment. I'll find Master Gu and ask him to write the deed for us."
Mrs. Fang was afraid that Li Hehua might not understand and especially explained to her, "Master Gu is a new teacher who recently moved in here. He is very knowledgeable and specializes in teaching children to read. My children are also sent to study. We can't read or write so we usually go to him and ask him to help us write and recognize words, and he will do so."
Li Hehua could hear from those words that this Master Gu was a very nice person.
After a while, Mr. Fang came back, followed by another person. It was the Master Gu that they are talking about.
Li Hehua looked up and was stunned at the sight of him. The man on the other hand, who happened to be looking, was also stunned.
Li Hehua never thought that Master Gu was the man who just bought her pastries.
Gu Zhijin had also never thought that the one renting a house was actually the person who sells pastries. After being surprised, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said hello. "I didn't expect it to be you, what a coincidence."
Li Hehua also smiled and nodded, "Yeah, what a coincidence."
Mr. and Mrs. Fang on the side was also stunned, "You know each other?"
Gu Zhijin explained with a smile, "I do know, my nephew likes to eat this lady's pastries."
Mr. Fang suddenly said, "It turns out to be the case, it is indeed a coincidence."
After greeting, Li Hehua thought that it was getting late, so she said, "I have to trouble Master Gu to help us write the deed of lease."
Gu Zhijin nodded. Seeing that Li Hehua was very anxious about this, he didn't say anything and put the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that he bought on the table. He picked up the brush and dipped some ink and started writing on the paper. He read as he write so that both parties can understand what was being written.
Gu Zhijin's writing is very fast and his writing is beautiful. In Li Hehua's eyes, if it was brought in modern times, it will definitely be well-liked by a generation of calligraphy masters. So maybe, it was also very good in this era.
After writing on a piece of paper, Gu Zhijin changed to another piece and wrote it again. As the last word was finished, Gu Zhijin stopped and put the brush on the holder as he hold his cuff. He then gently lifted up the paper and blew it so that the writings will dry up quickly. He then hands it over to Li Hehua and the Fangs, "Alright, look at it and if there is no problem, just press your fingerprint on it."
Li Hehua read it and the content was stated as before. There was nothing wrong with it so she nodded and said, "No problem."
The Fang couple were illiterate but they have a huge trust in Gu Zhijin so they quickly nodded and said that there was no problem.
There is no objection on both side, so they each press their fingerprints on the contract, and the contract is officially effective.
Li Hehua took out a 1,440 wen from her pocket and gave it to the couple, "Fang dàgē, Fang săozi, this the rent for 6 months, a total of 1,440 wen. You can count them."
The Fang couple took the money and counted carefully. After counting, it was indeed 1,440 wen. "We'll rent it to you." They then took out a bunch of keys and handed them to Li Hehua, "Come on, this is the key to the courtyard."
Li Hehua took the key and was relieved that the house problem was completely solved.
The Fang family couple immediately thanked Gu Zhijin, "Thank you Master Gu, We've troubled you again today."

Gu Zhijin was packing up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that he brought when he heard this. He raised his head and shook it lightly, "You don't have to be polite. It is just proper for neighbors to help each other."
Li Hehua also gave her thanks, "Thank you, Master Gu."
Gu Zhijin smiled and said, "You're welcome. As for being grateful, I should be the one to thank you."
Li Hehua understood what he meant and smiled back.
Since the yard has all kinds of furniture, the remaining works are just a matter of taking things in. Li Hehua decided to move in the day after tomorrow, considering that she's going to Shangshui village tomorrow. After selling the pastries that day, she will head directly and stay in the courtyard. She won't go back with Cao Simei.
Feeling joyful, Li Hehua returned to the He family's house. The first thing she did was to tell them about her renting a courtyard. It was fine with Cao Simei since she was already mentally prepared, but the three children in the family were reluctant and didn't want her to leave.
Li Hehua had to persuade and coax the children again and again while feeling pleased on the inside. After all, the children really likes her and couldn't bear to part with her.
After talking about her matter, Li Hehua took the time to make pastries that will be sold tomorrow and started to make candied apple fritters*.
(T/N: So the chinese name of the snack has the character(s) associated with silk being pulled. The right term might be silk reeling. So the snack looks like it has silk thread on top or around it. I'll attach its picture again later below.)
She first washes the apples and peels them. She then cut them into small pieces and pat them with flour and set them aside. Meanwhile, she separates the egg white from the eggs, mixes it with cornstarch to make a paste, then added the prepared diced apples on top. She then stirs the mixture evenly.
Farmers are rarely willing to eat fruits, and if they did eat some, they usually eat them raw. No one has ever seen apples to be prepared like this. Cao Simei looked very confused and asked, "Da meizi, what are you doing? Why did make such good apples like this?"
Li Hehua explained to Cao Simei while pouring some oil into the hot pot, "I'll be making some apple fritters. It is a delicious dish and children like to eat them. I promised to make it for the child at home. I'll bring it to him tomorrow."
Cao Simei doesn't know and hasn't even heard of a dish called apple fritters. However, she thinks that as long as Li Hehua made it, it must be delicious. "Da meizi, you are really amazing. You can cook many things and everything is so delicious."
When Cao Simei said this, she suddenly sighed, "I say meizi ah, you are too concerned about the child and I really felt uncomfortable seeing it. How can one live with the child, not by his mother's side? Why did that one before separated with you? It is quite obvious that you are good~"
Li Hehua twitched her lips, not knowing how to explain her own affairs. Since she couldn't explain it clearly, she just sighed and didn't speak.
It is just fortunate that Cao Simei didn't want to make Li Hehua unhappy, so after speaking, she changed the subject and talked about other things.
