"Uncle, do you still have a house to rent here?"

When Xu Tongdao asked, his eyes looked into the courtyard, and he was the first to knock on the door of this courtyard, which was to look very big from the outside.

Looking inside now, it's really big.

On the other side of the courtyard gate, there is a row of about six or seven bungalows, at this time an old lady is choosing vegetables under the eaves, a woman in her forties is drying quilts on several benches, and there is a half-grown child rolling in the yard with an iron ring.

"Yes, yes, you all have your luggage, hehe, come, I'll take you to see the room first, and we'll talk about it when you're satisfied, okay?" ”

When the old man is old, he speaks slowly, and when he speaks slowly, he seems very kind.

"Okay! ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, young man, don't be so polite, hehe, come! I have two spare rooms here, both on the westernmost ......."

The old man walked in on crutches while staggering in, and introduced Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin.

Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin followed behind, listening to the introduction while looking at the environment in the courtyard.

The yard is quite clean, and the ground is paved with green bricks, except for a little unevenness.

There is a toilet over there! To the east is my kitchen, if you want to use boiling water, you can come to my kitchen to get it! If you rent a house with me, I will supply you with a bottle of boiling water every day, and every house in the yard is treated like this, hehe......"

With the introduction of the old man, Xu Tongdao also noticed that the toilet was under the west wall, and the westernmost room was only about two or three meters apart, and in summer, the smell might be a bit big.

After all, the toilets in these years, even the toilets in the county, are still old-fashioned, and when it is hot, the smell must not be good.

Probably because of this, the two rooms near the toilet are currently empty and no one is renting.

Xu Tongdao also noticed that since the two of them walked into this courtyard, the old lady who was choosing vegetables under the eaves, the woman who was drying the quilt, and the little boy who was rolling the hoop had all looked at him and Xu Tonglin curiously.

The little boy, in particular, stared at them with big eyes curiously, without any disguise.

Xu Tongdao saw the iron ring in his hand and the wire hook in his other hand, and smiled slightly, feeling very kind, because he also loved to play this when he was a child.

Even he had a crush on the little boy who was playing with the hoop, so he winked at the little boy with his left eye.

The little boy gave him a bright smile in return, and then he took the hoop and ran upside down.

"Grandpa Li, someone wants to rent your house again?"

As soon as the little guy ran over, he accosted the old man.

The old man touched his little head, smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, you go and play first, Grandpa Li will take the two big brothers to see the house first......"

"Oh, well!"

The little boy ran a little farther away, but still looked at it curiously.

Xu Tonglin suddenly turned around and grimaced at him, but not only did he not scare this kid, but he made him laugh.

"Come here!

The woman who had already dried the quilt frowned and shouted, and the little boy looked back at her, oh, and ran over with a grin.

Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin followed the old man into the westernmost room and took a look, this room is not small, Xu Tongdao is about three meters wide and about six meters long, which is much larger than the small single room he wants to rent.

"This room is going to be bigger, I think you two are going to live together, right? Hehe, so I'll show you this room first, how about it? Are you satisfied, young man?"

The old man explained with a smile.

This room has two windows that let in natural light...... After all, it's a bungalow, and there is a toilet not far in front, so although there are two windows in the front and back, the lighting is not very good, but it is not too bad.

Inside, by the window, there is an old desk and an old wooden bed, the width of the wooden bed ...... Xu Tongdao visually inspected about one meter two.

With such a wide bed, it is more than enough to sleep one person, and if you sleep two people, you can only squeeze it, and you can sleep if you squeeze it.

Xu Tongdao didn't care much about these things, he mainly valued the fact that this place was relatively close to the mouth of the alley and that there was a big courtyard outside.

At this time, he was most concerned about ......

"Uncle, your surname is Li, right? Then we will also call you Grandpa Li?"

"Hehe, you're free! You're free!How about it? Are you satisfied with this room?"

The old man touched the white hair on his head, smiled all over his face, and looked like he was talking very well.

Xu Tongdao looked at Xu Tonglin beside him and said with a smile: "Grandpa Li, this house is very good, we like it very much, it's the rent...... How much does it cost you to rent a month's rent for this room?"

Speaking of the rent, Xu Tonglin, who was still looking at the room, also looked at it.

He knew that the funds they had come to the county this time were not sufficient, so they not only had to rent a house, but also had to keep enough money to set up a stall.

"Hehe, my rent here is not expensive, if you two young men sincerely want to rent, I won't ask you more, 80 yuan a month, if you decide to rent! ”

“160？”

Xu Tonglin repeated, looking at Xu Tongdao.

When he came out this time, he didn't have much money on him, mainly because he was messing with Xu Tongdao, so whether he rented the house here or not mainly depended on what Xu Tongdao meant.

"Grandpa Li, can you show us the empty room next to us again?"

Xu Tongdao didn't make a decision right away.

"Okay, of course, you come with me!"

The old man took the two of them to the next room to take a look, and sure enough, the room next door was indeed smaller, mainly because this row of bungalows except for the easternmost and westernmost two, the other rooms had overhangs more than one meter wide in front of them.

It is because of the existence of the eaves of this roof that the adjacent room is a few square meters smaller.

There is also an old desk and an old wooden bed about 1.2 meters in the room.

"Grandpa Li, how much is the rent for this room?"

This time it was Xu Tonglin who asked.

"Hehe, this 70!" replied the old man with a smile.

At this moment, a very strange sound came from the next room, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin's eyes looked over at the same time, as if something was hitting the wall one by one, the sound was not loud, but it was very rhythmic.

Xu Tonglin's eyes were puzzled, "What sound?"

Before being reborn, Xu Tongdao, who had rich experience and was married, had already guessed the reason, but he was not interested in explaining it to Xu Tonglin, Xu Tongdao looked at the old man.

But I saw that the old man didn't seem to be hearing very well, and he was still smiling on his face at this time, and he didn't seem to hear the strange noise coming from next door at all.

Xu Tongdao smiled slightly bitterly, he originally wanted to save some rent and rent this smaller room.

But he is afraid that this kind of voice next door will often appear in the future, he and Xu Tonglin are still young, and they are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with their nutrition in the future, so don't eat more food expenses in order to save a little rent, it will not be cost-effective.

"Grandpa Li, we want to rent the one just now, but can the rent be cheaper for us?"
