Chapter 048: Kindness at home

"So, how long are you going to stay here?"

"I don't know. Maybe, a year, maybe, two years, or more. โ€

"Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it. โ€

"Not satisfied?"

"Yes. โ€

"Don't be reluctant just because you and I know each other! โ€

"You really can. I'm not lying to you! Shall we sign the contract?"

"I believe in you. It doesn't have to be that complicated. โ€

"That's not going to work. There should be no less form. My brother still has to settle accounts!"

Tian Tian smiled and insisted, and teased.

"Hahaha!" the old man couldn't help laughing, "Let's be honest with you, I rented out the house not for profit at all, to make money, but, I feel too lonely to live in such a big house alone, I hope that one more person will go in and out to increase my popularity."

"Ever since my old woman was gone, I felt very lonely. So, once upon a time, I also bought a puppy as a companion. Hey, speaking of that dog, he was very well-behaved, very sensible, and I liked him very much, but it didn't last long, and then it disappeared. Didn't you just steal it, or did you get lost when you went out?"

The old man was chattering, and the expression on his face kept changing, or gratifying, or proud, or missing, or regretful, or sad, or helpless.

"Oh, is it? That, that's a pity! Dogs are the most humane and loyal animals!" Tian Tian echoed.

"Well, isn't it? It's always with me. In my opinion, except that I can't speak, it's just like us. โ€

Hearing the old man's high evaluation of a dog, Tian Tian couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, old uncle, are you feeling better now?

"Oh! That's a ** sickness. I can only say that it is a little better than before, the pain is not so bad, to say that it does not hurt at all, and it is impossible to get rid of the disease with medicine. It's not an elixir, is it?"

"Hmm. However, in any case, we should be glad that we can get better and my symptoms are reduced! โ€

"Alas, people are old, and there are problems all over their bodies. It's better that you're young! You don't have to go to the hospital all year round. When you walk, your feet are windy. โ€

"But we're going to grow old one day, old man, we've signed the contract, right?"

Tian Tian proposed.

"I said forget it. โ€

The old man pretended to excuse himself.

"That's not going to work. โ€

Tian Tian insisted on his opinion.

She thought to herself, instead of being entangled in the future and turning against each other, it is better to not be afraid of trouble now and figure it out.

So, the old man rubbed and took out a printed A4 paper from his pocket, unfolded it slowly, and spread it on the stone table.

"Heh! did it beforehand?

Tian Tian couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

"Whew! This is also a helpless move! Isn't my hand hurting? I can't write. I had to ask someone to help. You know, this piece of paper, three dollars. โ€

The old man smiled a little embarrassedly.

Tian Tian took it and took a look.

I saw that everything on it was clearly written, and I only needed to fill in the corresponding amount and sign my name.

"Is this a computer-printed amount?"

"Hmm. Printing is expensive, photocopying is cheap. โ€

"Uncle So, how much money am I going to give you? Is it 'bet two pay one' or 'bet one pay one'?"

"Wow, what's the mess? I don't need a deposit. You just have to give me the rent. โ€

"Isn't that right?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, you just have to offer me rent every month. Alas, I think, just give a hundred, just do whatever you want. Besides, there are many places where you need to use money. It's not easy for a woman to be out there. โ€

As far as I know, the monthly rent of 15 is already the cheapest rent in Shenzhen. I thought, I'd better pay as much as I want. As for the deposit, if you don't take it, forget it. Thank you for your trust!"

"I'll tell you, I'm not short of money. I used to have a unit, and now, my monthly pension is more than 1,000. โ€

"Old uncle, I know. However, no matter how rich you are, it is also yours, and it is only natural for me to rent your house to pay the rent. Besides, I am also a principled person who resolutely does not like to take advantage of small things. I think you've got my wish, right?"

"Oh well. โ€

Seeing that Tian Tian was so stubborn, the old man had to reluctantly agree.

So, Tian Tian happily took out one hundred and fifty yuan from his bag and handed it to him.

After the old man received the money, he took out a stack of receipts and a carbon pen from his pocket.

"Girl, what's your name? I'll write you a receipt. โ€

"Shen Tiantian. Why don't I find my ID card and show it to you?"

As he spoke, Tian Tian fumbled in his bag.

"Don't bother. Just tell me. Those three words?"

"Shen, it's ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Suddenly, she didn't know how to describe it, and it felt like she couldn't put it into words.

So, she simply took the pen, spread her left hand and slapped, and wrote on it.

Then, spread out his slap and show the three words that had been written to the old man.

"Oh! I know. โ€

He glanced at it.

So, the old man bent down and wrote on the receipt carefully, but the hand was clearly shaking.

For healthy people, writing is a breeze. However, this is not the case for a patient with severe gout.

"Can you write, old uncle? Or you don't need a receipt. โ€

Tian Tian couldn't help but feel compassion.

"No problem. Receipts are not exempt. When people are old, they are easily confused. I'm afraid that one day I'll be foolish and sick, and I'll ask you for rent. โ€

I don't know if the old man is joking or is it really possible?

Tian Tian had no choice but to smile awryly.

After finally writing it, the old uncle solemnly stamped it with a small seal engraved with his name.

Immediately, lift it up, don't forget to open your mouth and gently blow the wind on it, so that it can dry faster.

After some inspection, he handed it to Tian Tian.

"Ms. Shen Tiantian's rent has been collected, a total of 150 yuan. โ€

"Is that okay?"

"Hmm. OK. โ€

"Well, keep it! It's a hundred and fifty dollars!"

Hearing this, Tian Tian smiled knowingly.

"Okay. โ€

She said as she carefully hid it in her bag.

Then, the old man filled out the contract again, stamped it with his own seal, and asked Tian Tian to read it carefully.

He instructed, "If it's all right, sign your name!"

"Okay. โ€

So, after taking the contract, Tian Tian took a quick look at it, and then willingly wrote his name.

It seems that this is an extremely strict and serious old man!

"Then, I'll keep this piece of paper!"

The old man took the paper and folded it, and then, reaching into his trouser pocket, fumbling for a while, he took out a bunch of keys.

"Come, I tell you: this is the biggest key for the gate of the courtyard, this for the staircase on the second floor, and this for the room. โ€

After he finished explaining, he immediately handed it to Tian Tian.

"So, is there anything else you would like to instruct?"

She asked, taking the key.

"No more. If there's anything you don't know, just ask me. I live on the ground floor. โ€

"Okay. Thanks, then, I'm going to clean up?"

"Go ahead. โ€

So, Tian Tian got up and walked up to the second floor with brisk steps.

Although this place is still dirty and messy, after all, this place is about to become her own little world, and her heart is also surging with a trace of excitement and joy.

She firmly believes that she will not be disappointed when she finishes cleaning.

However, the strange thing is that Tian Tian searched all over the second floor and found that there were no cleaning tools here - no brooms, no mops, no rags, no buckets, no steel wool balls, no garbage shovels.

I had no choice but to go out and buy it first.

Tian Tian overlooked the courtyard and found that the old man was no longer sitting in place.

Xu is back in the house, she thought.

I originally wanted to ask him where there was a department store, but it seemed that I would forget it and not bother his old man's house.

Walking out of the yard, Tian Tian blindly searched for a long time before he finally found a small shop selling daily necessities.

Everything here is economical and practical, and the prices are reasonable.

It all adds up to less than fifty dollars. She was satisfied.

As soon as you step into the courtyard, you will see the fallen leaves all over the ground, and there is nowhere to stay.

She couldn't help but have an idea, why didn't she just clean up the fallen leaves on the ground first?

So, without saying a word, he swept up.

In a few moments, they were gathered together.

However, unfortunately, at this time, she suddenly realized that she did not buy garbage bags.

Suddenly, she remembered that there seemed to be a sheet upstairs. By the way, maybe it can come in handy.

So, she ran upstairs with a bang.

Soon, the whole courtyard was cleaned and felt much more comfortable.

Strange: Why does the same environment, clean and tidy, give people such a different feeling?

Tian Tian couldn't help but sigh.

When a brand-new living room was presented in front of Tian Tian's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

She looked around carefully, and from the bottom of her heart she was full of accomplishments.

Great!

But her rumbling stomach had already warned her that it was time to sit down and eat.

So, she looked up at her watch

"Oh my God!" she screamed.

It turns out that it's late now.

However, I just buried myself in hard work and forgot to look at the time.

However, this morning, I obviously promised to help Mr. Jiang clean up in the afternoon.

What should I do now? I have become a person who does not keep my promises?

What's more, maybe Mr. Jiang will be furious?

Thinking of this, Tian Tian couldn't help but feel anxious and at a loss.

Forget it, forget it, that's the end of it!

Maybe people are still waiting?

So, Tian Tian had no choice but to lock the door and corridor door and rush downstairs.
