Chapter 42: Renting
Xujia Village is already far away, and the canopy boat suddenly sounds, cleaving the waves in the center of the river, the speed is not slow, but it is very stable.
Because there were more people going to the county seat in the morning, the cabins were full at this time, and Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin, who had just boarded the boat, could only sit at the bow of the boat, both of them seemed a little silent and did not speak for a while.
This is the first time Xu Tonglin has gone out, and he doesn't have any stable job.
It was the first time he had left home to go on a sprint, and for him, the feeling was naturally complicated.
Of course, it is not the first time that Xu Tongdao has gone out, before he was reborn, he had done too many jobs, and sometimes he couldn't remember how many kinds of jobs he had done.
He was silent at this time, thinking more about what to do when he went to the county seat......
Although he has thought about this problem many times in the past half a month, he really went to the county seat today, and in order not to waste time and energy, he thinks it is better to do it again.
"Trail!"
Xu Tonglin suddenly called out to him.
"Huh, what?"
Hearing this, Xu Tongdao turned his face to look at Xu Tonglin beside him.
Xu Tonglin smiled reluctantly, "Let's go to the county today...... The first thing is to rent an apartment, right?"
Xu Tongdao told him about this a few days ago.
Xu Tongdao nodded slightly, "Yes, do you have any ideas?"
Xu Tonglin: "Have you figured out where to rent? We still have to keep enough money to set up a stall, is the money you have earned recently really enough?"
He was worried about this problem at this time, was it a little late?
Xu Tongdao smiled slightly, "Enough! Renting a house in the county is not expensive, and if you have a single room, a few dozen yuan a month should be enough." ”
"How do you know?"
Xu Tonglin felt strange.
Xu Tongdao smiled, "I heard what people said." ”
Naturally, he couldn't tell Xu Tonglin the truth, for fear of scaring him.
The two chatted without saying a word, and when the sun crept out of the clouds, the boat stopped at the dock in the county seat.
Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin carried their respective luggage in large bags and small bags and went ashore with the crowd.
"Which way?"
After walking the dozens of steps at the dock and looking at the T-junction in front of him, Xu Tonglin stopped and asked Xu Tongdao.
At this time, he may have regretted coming with Xu Tongdao a little.
He is too unfamiliar with this county, although he has been to his parents more than a dozen times since he was a child, but every time he comes, he buys something near the dock and goes home, what the rest of this county is like, he has no concept in his heart.
He estimated that Xu Tongdao, who was the same age as him, was the same.
In this case, when they came to this county, can they really make a name for themselves?
Rent?
Know where to rent?
"Follow me!"
Xu Tongdao said, and followed the road in front of him, all the way to the west.
"Do you know what's up ahead?"
Although Xu Tonglin followed, his expression was very puzzled.
"I've heard of it!"
Xu Tongdao replied casually.
Xu Tonglin frowned, "Then what did you say was the place in front?"
"The wind and the moon are boundless!"
Xu Tongdao is still concise and to the point.
"What? What is boundless? What is the strange name of the place?"
Xu Tonglin looked confused.
Xu Tongdao was carrying his luggage at this time, and he was already a little out of breath when he walked, where did he still have the heart to chat with him endlessly?
So this time he glanced at Xu Tonglin and said, "You will know if you go with me, don't have so many problems!
"Oh, oh!"
After Xu Tonglin this time, he finally didn't speak again for a while, and honestly followed Xu Tongdao with his luggage.
In this way, the two walked forward through two traffic light intersections, and Xu Tonglin suddenly noticed that most of the store doors in front of them were closed.
The rolling doors were placed at the end, and there were not a few pedestrians in sight on the street, but there were many cars parked on the side of the road.
"Why aren't the shops open during the day?"
He finally couldn't help it and asked Xu Tongdao.
"Most of the doors will open in the afternoon!"
Xu Tongdao explained casually.
"How do you know?"
Xu Tonglin felt strange again.
"Guess!"
Xu Tongdao said casually.
"There are so many dance halls here, and there are a lot of barber shops, why are these barbershops closed in the morning?"
Not long after, Xu Tonglin spoke again.
Xu Tongdao hummed and continued to walk forward with him.
Xu Tonglin was probably a little tired from walking, "Xiaodao, how long do we have to walk?"
"It's coming!"
"How long is it going to be?"
"It's fast, it's fast. ”
......
After walking forward for a while, Xu Tongdao looked at the mouth of a small alley on the side of the road, glanced at it a few times, and suddenly turned into this alley.
"Follow me!"
"Where is this?"
"I don't know!"
"I don't know? I don't know where you brought me in?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Help see if there are any things posted on the doors and walls on both sides, rent a house! What do you call this place for?"
"Huh, rent a house here?"
"Otherwise, we have to find a cheap one, of course we have to find a remote alley!"
......
Not to mention, there are really a lot of rental houses in this small alley.
In about half an hour, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin saw more than a dozen notices of renting houses, and some of the notices were written directly on the wall with red bricks.
But in this half an hour, Xu Tongdao just watched, and did not knock on any door to ask for the price.
Xu Tonglin was puzzled, "Xiaodao, aren't we renting a house? There are so many rental houses, why don't you knock on the door and ask?
"Let's take a look at it all outside, okay! Now it's almost the same, let's go back! Go to the alleys and ask! I remember how many yards there are, let's mainly ask those ones!"
Xu Tongdao said, turned around and walked back.
Xu Tonglin was stunned, "Isn't it? Go back again? You didn't say it earlier!"
Xu Tongdao ignored him, strode towards the alley, he had just walked so far along this alley, he had roughly figured out the situation here, and he felt that it was best to live in the alley.
Not only is it close to the main road by the river, but there are also several yards there, and if they go back to make barbecue, they must be mainly engaged in evening business, and during the day they need a place to prepare skewers, and it will be much more convenient to have a yard.
Moreover, the yards here are generally bungalows.
The rent of a bungalow is generally cheaper than that of a building.
took Xu Tonglin, who was already unable to walk, to a courtyard gate near the entrance of the alley, Xu Tongdao finally put down his luggage and raised his hand to pat the door knocker of the courtyard door.
"Who?"
Xu Tongdao slapped it several times, and it was heavier than the other, and finally an old man's voice came from the courtyard.
"Uncle, is the landlord here? We want to rent a house!"
Xu Tongdao shouted inside.
"Oh, rent a house...... Wait a minute! I'm getting old, I can't walk fast, hehe. ”
Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin waited outside the door for a while before the courtyard door was opened, and what appeared in front of them was an old man with snow-white hair and a cane in his hand.
