111 Rent Houses
I read a quote in the newspaper before and I think it makes a lot of sense.
The sentence is "From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift." ”
I'm still trying to climb up, and I can't indulge in the good material conditions and make myself squeamish.
So when Zhu Dan repeatedly said that he wanted to give me those, I told Zhu Dan all these reasons.
Zhu Dan was silent for a while, and then said to me: "Huanxi, you can have this ambition, and Sister Dan won't force you, but you really impress me, I think, you will definitely have a future in the future." ”
Hearing Zhu Dan's words, I smiled.
I've never dared to hope that I'm really going to have any big deals.
As long as today can be better than yesterday, I am satisfied.
As long as I can have the freedom to control my own life and not be manipulated by others, I am very happy.
"Then what are you going to do in the future?" asked me.
"Let me think again. "I'll be honest.
However, after working at Zhu Dan's house for a few months, I have really saved some savings.
After all, I eat and live here, and I hardly buy anything.
"Or like Sister Dan said, don't continue to be a nanny, you can do some business yourself, Sister Dan gives you money, you don't want it, and I don't force you, but at the beginning, you signed a one-year contract with me, and now there are ten months left, but I am leaving, this is my breach of contract, I will give you the remaining ten months' salary, plus liquidated damages, I will give you a total of 60,000. ”
Seeing what I was going to say, Zhu Dan changed his face: "Huanxi, if you don't even want this, don't say that you know me in the future, and I don't know you either!"
I was at Zhu Dan's house, and I worked for a few months at first, and then Zhu Dan was very satisfied with me, so he signed me a one-year contract.
There are still ten months to go.
I couldn't say no more, so I got paid for the next ten months.
Counting my savings before, now I have almost 100,000 yuan on my body.
That's a real amount of money for me.
......
Sister Dan went abroad.
After sending her away, I officially ended my nanny career and started a new life.
As Sister Dan said, I want to start a small business by myself and be my own boss, so maybe I will make money faster.
I went to the housekeeping company first and told them that I was no longer a babysitter.
The manager of the housekeeping company was also very regretful and repeatedly retained, saying that I was a good material among nannies.
Let me work hard for a few more years, accumulate experience, and then I can enter the management in the future.
But I politely declined.
After leaving the housekeeping company, I returned to Zhu Dan's house again.
Although I said that I didn't want to live here, Zhu Dan still gave me a key to the door.
I opened the door of Zhu Dan's house, first carefully cleaned all the places, then cut off the water and electricity, cleaned up her refrigerator, and sorted out the remaining ingredients in the kitchen, and then left Zhu Dan's house with the package I had already sorted out.
I locked the door.
At the gate of the community, I found a courier company and sent the keys to Zhu Dan's house to her parents' house, and then I really said goodbye to this community.
After that, it's time for me Joe to rejoice in a new life.
The first thing to do is to solve the problem of accommodation first.
I'm going to rent a house in a provincial town.
Although I already have 100,000 yuan, of course, I can't spend a penny in half.
For example, in the community of Zhu Dan's house, of course I can't afford to rent it.
I also inquired about the housing prices nearby, and the prices were staggering.
I consulted through many apps on the Internet and found that the housing prices in the provincial capital, whether it is buying or renting, are ridiculously expensive.
In summary, the only cheapest place is the urban village.
That's when I followed my husband and saw him go for fun, and then I chose the place to report.
The price of renting a house here is only one-third of that of other places, so it is the first choice for many migrant workers.
Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate anymore, took my luggage, and walked to the subway station.
The metro station has a long staircase.
I dragged my luggage, which was a bit heavy and had some difficulty walking.
I don't have any hobbies, but when I got to town, I fell in love with listening to music.
But since I decided not to contact Wen Shaonian anymore, I no longer dare to listen to love songs.
Because whatever you listen to, it's like singing yourself again.
Because I want to cry and cry because I want to cry when I listen to anything.
Because of what I heard, I wanted to go to Wen Shaonian and tell him, do you know how much I miss you?
I want to tell him, didn't I tell you? Women love to lie the most, and the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is.
For example, I lied to you about what I said before.
Why are you so obedient?
Why do you listen to whatever I say, and really don't interfere with the water of the river with my well?
So I started listening to rock 'n' roll, listening to foreign language songs, and listening to inspirational songs.
As I walked up the steps, I couldn't help but hum a song I had recently learned.
It's time to put down the heavy shell
Find out where the blue sky is
With the gentle wind gently drifting
I don't feel any pain from the injuries I have experienced
I'm going to climb up one step at a time
Wait for the sun to look at its face quietly
Small days have big dreams
The heavy shell is wrapped and looks up gently
I'm going to climb up one step at a time
Fly forward on the blades at the highest point
Let the wind dry the tears and sweat that flowed
One day I will have my own day
This song is called "Snail", and I think the lyrics are very well written and very suitable for my state of mind.
In line with what I want to strive for.
It's just that I'm not as good as a snail.
At least wherever the snail goes, it carries the house on its own back.
It's not like me, I have to rent a house.
......
When I arrived in an urban village, I walked past low, dilapidated bungalows, through winding alleys, avoiding the sewage on the streets, past snack bars, barber shops, and hotels, and I searched carefully for rental information along the way.
There's no need to find an agent here, just keep an eye on the rental phone numbers written on the walls.
I took out my phone and followed the call above.
Some of them are empty, and some of them tell me that they are full.
Others are liars.
Listening to the other party's flickering tone, he was vague about the content of the work, but he desperately said that the work was easy and he made a lot of money, and I knew that they were not looking for tenants, but looking for a young lady under the guise of a pretense.
Now I have a lot of social experience, and I know that the city is already very chaotic, and the urban village is even more mixed, and there are all kinds of people in the three religions and nine streams, so I am naturally a little more careful.
Finally, one was contacted.
In a messy, heaped yard, I met the landlord.
I was greeted by the landlady.
The landlady, in her forties, had a meaty face and was dressed in colorful clothes.
Originally, there were only three rooms in this large compound, but the landlord's family built a lot of simple small rooms.
Then they were all rented out.
"1000 a month, bet one to pay three, rent if you want, pull down if you don't want to, I'm very sought-after!" said the landlady while knocking melon seeds.
"Can it be cheaper?" I asked, deliberatingly.
"No, I don't bargain. The landlady refused.
I still think it's a bit expensive.
After looking around, my eyes lit up, and I pointed to the innermost room in the courtyard and said, "What about this one?
It makes sense for me to ask.
That room was significantly smaller than the rest of the rooms.
The height is also quite a bit lower.
It seems that when the landlord was building a rental house in the yard, when he arrived here, it was obvious that the area was not enough, so he had to cut corners and make do with another one.
The landlady glanced at the room: "Are you sure you want to rent that?"
I nodded.
The landlady spit out the melon seed peel on the ground: "This is 500 a month, and the deposit is paid for three, but let's put it in front, if you live for a few days, you don't feel good, you don't want to live, and the rent will not be refunded!"
From 1000 to 500, it is equivalent to half the cheaper, and I was immediately tempted.
So he said that he wanted to go in and have a look, and if it was okay, he would sign the contract immediately.
The landlady opened the door to the cottage, and I took half a step in and was smoky with a mixture of stench, scorching, musty, and all sorts of mess.
It wasn't until the light from outside came in that I could see the layout clearly.
Obviously, this cottage has not been inhabited for a long time, or probably never rented out.
So it was used as a utility room by the landlord.
It was full of wires, broken furniture, farm tools, hardware tools, and a lot of paper shells, empty bottles, and so on.
It was only then that I noticed that there were no windows in this room.
No wonder it smells so bad.
Naturally, it was because there was no ventilation for too long.
So the inside of the house was dark and damp.
Thinking of the environment of Zhu Dan's house before, compared with the current hut, it is really a heaven and an underground.
But I don't regret my decision.
Of course I want to live in a big, spacious and nice house, but only if I get it on my own.
Otherwise, it is too easy to get and easy to lose.
"Okay, I'll rent it, but you're going to get rid of all this stuff and rubbish in it. "I made a request.
That's a very reasonable request.
The landlady nodded, and began to roar in the courtyard.
"Gate 7, Gate 6!"
"Old Zhang's family, Liu Er is stunned!"
"Sun Datou!"
"And that little yellow hair, what's it called?
With the cries of the landlady, the doors of many rental houses opened, and many tenants came out one after another.
Seeing these people coming out, the landlady crossed her waist: "Don't look at it! Hurry up and help, clean it well, don't delay my business." ”
There was a little man who was a little unhappy, and muttered: "The landlady is really calculating, is this treating us as free labor?" We are only your tenants, not your slaves, and every time we have a job, we are instructed to do it, and if we hire hourly workers, we are not allowed to pay 200 yuan per person?"
His voice was not high, but it was heard in the ears of the landlady.
The landlady was immediately upset, she pointed to the little man's nose and scolded: "Yao Zhenzi! believe it or not, I will increase your rent immediately!"
Then he looked at the rest of the people and shouted: "And you! Don't give me some work and be reluctant! Tell you, you all owe me, and I am your benefactor! Don't think that you will be great if you pay those few broken rents? If it weren't for my soft-heartedness, it would not be easy to see you all miserable, I would have increased the rent to 3,000 yuan a month! If you don't thank me, it's just that, dare to twitter? What a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"
Although what the landlady said was all crooked.
Her rent is already very high, and less than 3,000 is not her kindness at all, but she really can't go up.
But these tenants are naturally vulnerable in front of the landlord.
This is the reason why people have to bow their heads under the low eaves.
So I reluctantly began to tidy up the contents of my hut one by one.
I couldn't sit idly by, so I moved things out of the room.
There were a few cardboard boxes in the corner of the room, and I used to move them.
Suddenly, I let out a scream of "ahh
A big mouse!
It was so fast that it almost ran out of my legs.
Although I was born in the countryside, I am not afraid of snakes or dogs, but I am most afraid of rats.
Whenever I see mice, I always feel cold and powerless.
Seeing my reaction, the tenants, who were already complaining about voluntary labor, burst out laughing.
"Rats, our close friends, what are you doing shouting so loudly?"
"Yes, this thing is very rich in protein, and it can be used as a supper at night. ”
"This girl looks pampered at first glance, and she can't endure these hardships. ”
"Well, I think it would be nice to stay here for three days. ”
"Hehe, little sister, if you are scared alone at night, come to my brother's house, brother protect you!"
There are also people who are gossiping and trying to take advantage of me.
Because after the previous events, especially with Wen Shaonian, I don't care about feelings and beauty and ugliness anymore.
is no longer deliberately ugly, but just as low-key as possible in dressing.
So in the eyes of many men, I am still very attractive.
Of course, I was angry when I heard these teasing words, but I also knew that I had just arrived here, and I was not familiar with the place, so I could only endure these words.
It's not appropriate to tear your face with them right now.
So I had to keep my head down and clean up.
The man who teased me seemed to be encouraged to see that I was so honest.
On the side more and more unscrupulous. He said nothing: "Hehe, sister, why don't you live in my house directly, my house is big and bright, don't worry, you don't have to pay for it." ”
He was talking on the side, and the landlady was watching the excitement.
The rest of the tenants were laughing.
"Yes, you don't have to pay for it, just warm the bed. ”
"My house is deserted. ”
At that moment, the door of the third house on the left opened, and out came a very attractive woman.
The woman wasn't tall, but she was wearing sky-high heels.
The heel is thin and long, as if it can poke a dead person.
She was wearing a revealing nightgown in my opinion, dyed yellow hair, permed in big waves, blue eyeshadow, and red lips.
It looks sexy and hot.
But these are seen from a distance, if you look closely, you can see that this woman's face is not good-looking, and the dark circles under her eyes are also very heavy.
The woman yawned, then pointed to the man who was disrespectful to me and said, "Sun Datou, shut your stinky mouth for me, and then blind Bibi, believe it or not, the old lady poured foot-washing water into your rice pot! The old lady was sleeping, and she heard you barking at a toad! Don't pee according to your own virtue, just like you, there will be women who stick upside down?
That Sun Datou had sharp teeth and sharp mouth when he saw me, but in the face of such a spicy woman, he was not an opponent at all.
I was scolded so much that I didn't dare to talk back.
The woman yawned, then shook her ass and was about to go back to the house.
But I heard the landlady call out to the woman: "Li Pingping, there are hair dryers and electric irons in your house, they are the most power-consuming things, and it is not appropriate to only take 50 yuan a month for electricity, and you will have to pay more money next month." ”
It turns out that this bewitching woman is called Li Pingping.
Although her dress, speech and demeanor are not my favorite style, I have a good impression of this woman.
Because whether she was intentional or unintentional, she was helping me get angry.
It makes me feel that she is much more amiable than the rest of the tenants.
Not as disgusting as the others.
Li Pingping heard the landlady's words, stopped, turned around, rubbed her wavy long hair, and smiled very charmingly: "Add money? But when I first rented the house, your husband promised me that he would never add money." Not only did I not increase the money, but I also offered to reduce the rent for me several times, but I didn't bother to agree. Who the hell do you think I'm supposed to listen to?"
Li Pingping's words were full of provocation to the landlady.
The landlady was so angry that her face turned blue.
"Phew, you've got such a big face, and you want to get your rent reduced, it's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!"
But before the landlady's smile disappeared, Li Pingping over there had already taken out the phone and called.
And also turned on hands-free.
Let the rest of the people hear the sound inside the phone.
"Hey, is it Brother Zhang? I'm Pingping, let me tell you one thing, your wife has come to bully others!"
Then, I heard a man's voice coming out of the microphone.
"Pingping, don't be afraid, Brother Zhang is in charge of you! Don't bother with that loser, I have the final say, she's not bullshit! You tell me, how did that loser bully you?"
"Your wife asked me to pay more for electricity!" Li Pingping began to sue.
"You let that loser get out! Don't worry Pingping, as long as you are willing, the house can be lived in for nothing, hehehe......"
The man shouldn't have known that the hands-free is on here.
His voice can be heard by many people, including his wife.
So there was a hint of provocation in his words.
It is the same as the previous Sun Datou.
