Chapter 382, Centennial Cottage
Although there are sometimes people playing music in the church, most of the time it is solemn and solemn, and the church at this time has become the most comfortable place for Ye Kai to read books.
It won't be so hot and irritable, and it's not so cold that it's unbearable.
Ye Kai's ancient text "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", which was difficult to read before, has also been read by Ye Kai in the past few days, and this is the first literary text that Ye Kai has read.
After lunch that day, Ye Kai didn't have anything to do, so he went to church to write the third part of Harry Potter. Kelly called and told Ye Kai that he had helped Ye Kai find a house that was very suitable for Ye Kai.
So the two met in front of the main entrance of the cathedral.
Most of the residents of Reykjavík make an appointment with the Cathedral, probably because it is a landmark and the city centre.
Kelly was wearing a black woolen coat and a woolen hat of the same color, and he hugged Ye Kai directly after seeing him.
"Hey, Ye, it's good to see you, how are you doing these days?"
Familiar enthusiasm......
In Ye Kai's view, Kelly really doesn't look like a German, and the stereotypical label of Germans can't be attached to Kelly anyway, could it be that Iceland has changed him?
"Very good, I walked all over Reykjavik and went to see the legendary forest waterfall, the double rainbow is simply beautiful. ”
"Do you like waterfalls? Then you must check out the Golden Waterfall......
He suddenly realized the purpose of his call to ask Ye Kai to come over, and said in annoyance, "Oh! I almost forgot to get down to business, let's go see the house first, the landlord is waiting for us." ”
Kelly's height was about the same as Ye Kai's, but his pace was fast, and it only took Ye Kai two minutes to reach his destination after following him.
"This is it. Kelly said.
This house, on the main road in Reykjavík, only 300 meters from the cathedral in the city center, is one of those small houses with colorful spires that Ye Kai saw on the church, with dark blue roofs.
"It's so beautiful!" Ye Kai said.
Kelly stretched out his hand and knocked on the door and said to Ye Kai: "Come in and have a look, my colleague used to live in this house, and some of the decorations in it were arranged by her own hands." ”
A tall, thin old man with white hair and glasses opened the door, he looked like he was cleaning the room with a broom in his hand...... Seeing Kelly and Ye Kai, he said with a smile: "You guys are here, I haven't lived for a long time, I'm cleaning up." ”
Kelly greeted him and then took Ye Kai into the house, and whispered to Ye Kai, "This is the landlord, Mr. Kosel." ”
In fact, the house is not dirty, but the landlord still carefully wiped every object with a towel, and the flowers raised in the pot have long withered and were picked up by the landlord and thrown in the trash.
"This house has been unoccupied for almost half a year, and I'm glad someone has come to rent it, even if it's only for a few months, but you have to make sure you'll take good care of the room......"
"That's for sure, I assure you. Ye Kai said.
The house is beautiful and you can tell that its previous occupant must have been a very attentive lady who loved cleanliness...... Because no matter how diligent a man is, he will not put too much effort into decorating the nest.
Ye Kai asked Kelly in a low voice: "This is where your colleague lived before?"
"Yes. “
"And what about her now?"
Kelly smiled and said, "Don't think about it, although she is a Chinese like you, she is now married in Iceland, of course she has moved away." ”
What do I think...... Ye Kai was a little speechless, let's just ask casually.
However, Ye Kai became interested in this stranger whom he had never met until now, and wanted to ask her why she worked in Iceland and what it was like to live and live in Iceland.
The landlord is very Buddhist, although he said that he welcomed Ye Kai to come here to rent a house, but he still didn't introduce Ye Kai here, just let Ye Kai go around casually.
On the wooden staircase from the first floor to the second floor, Ye Kai saw an oil painting.
The oil painting is a house, which looks very similar to this house, but this oil painting looks a little old, and Ye Kai is sure that it is not a work of fifty years.
The oil paintings are very exquisite, and Ye Kai feels that some oil paintings in museums are not as good as this one.
The old voice came from behind him......
"This is what my grandfather painted, and it's what this family looked like more than 100 years ago. ”
Ye Kai turned around, nodded and shouted, "Mr. Kosel......"
This house was built more than 100 years ago, but isn't it a century-old house? Can it still be rented out? In China, this kind of house will either be bulldozed and redecorated or it will be so expensive that it will frighten people to death.
He hesitated, pointed to the painting and said, "This painting should be very valuable, why do you ......?"
"You're asking why I didn't take it with me? hehe, because he belongs here, and if he takes this painting away from this house, then it doesn't mean anything. ”
Ye Kai was a little puzzled, thinking that he felt that no matter where he put this painting, it was also a very precious and exquisite oil painting. And this painting is in such a house rented to someone else.
It's like the cross-stitch that was forgotten when the original owner moved, hung on the wall.
However, after listening to the landlord's explanation, when Ye Kai looked back at this painting, he felt that this painting and this wall were so harmonious, as if it was born to be hung in this place.
Go upstairs to visit, upstairs there are three rooms, a study, two bedrooms.
One of the bedrooms has a private bathroom, and it's a 100-year-old house, but the contents of the house are still very new, and it looks like it has been renovated in the last ten years.
Ye Kai is very satisfied with this house, Reykjavík only has a church building that is considered a high-rise building, but it will not block the sun, the lighting is good, and the layout is also warm.
But you have to buy your own home appliances or something...... But the little tyrant Ye Kai didn't care.
The landlord cleaned the whole room, turned on the heating, and said, "Well, the heating is fine, young man, what do you think of this place?"
"I believe it's the best option for the whole of Reykjavik and I'd love to rent it. ”
A smile appeared on Kosel's face, in fact, it didn't matter to him whether this house was rented out or not, but he was also very happy to see Ye Kai so satisfied and liked.
"Don't worry, the rent is very cheap, as long as you promise to take care of it, this is a beauty in her hundreds, and she needs someone else's care......"
Hearing this, Ye Xingxing's head tightened...... Don't be a trap, right?
For example, if there is a problem with the water supply in the bathroom, or if it rains heavily, the ceiling will leak down, or the walls will be eaten and corroded by insects, and the furniture will be bad if it looks like it works......
Ye Kai looked around carefully under the pretext of going to the toilet, but still didn't find anything wrong, just like the landlord said, this house is well protected.
Frightened, he signed a lease contract that was a bit harsh for the tenants, and temporarily sent off the landlord and Kelly, who was working. Ye Kai stood alone in the courtyard with the key, looking at the pointed European-style cottage with white walls and dark blue roof in front of him.
...... This is where I will live for the next few months.
