Chapter 23: Urban Villages (2)
Wei Dong laughed proudly, and pulled Li Tianchou to sit on the steps in the courtyard and smoke. It didn't take much effort, there were footsteps outside the doorway, from far to near, Wei Dong looked back, "Oh, Wang Po, it's coming." ”
An old woman with heavy makeup appeared at the entrance of the door, the old lady was not tall, and her appearance was quite rich, but the makeup was too thick, especially the two circles of thick and black eyeshadow, which reminded Li Tianchou of the owl in his hometown.
"Ah, you're scared to death! You little bunny, why are you so loud? Why did you run back again? The old lady clutched her chest with an exaggerated expression.
"Hehe, I don't miss your old man, I can't think about it too much, so I'll come over and say goodbye. Wei Dong has a hippie smile and a flamboyant tongue, obviously very familiar with the old lady.
"Do you still miss my old man, I bah. I haven't come back to see it once since I moved out for a year, and I think about it this time? Is there nowhere to go? "The old lady doesn't flatter Weidong at all.
"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person? But is there really something, is there still a vacant room? Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my buddy Li Tianchou. This is the old lady of the landlady here, and we all call her Mrs. Wang. Wei Dong's speech was a little upside down.
Wang Po nodded symbolically at Li Tianchou, and then squinted at Wei Dong, "If you rent it, then there is really no room, if it is rented by others, you can say it separately." ”
"Ouch, grass. I said Mrs. Wang, I don't want to be treated by you like this? To tell you the truth, it's really not me who rents. See, no, it's my buddies who rented it. I'm here to introduce business, and I don't know good people's hearts. Wei Dong shouted, his face dissatisfied.
"This young man, do you want to rent a house?" Wang Po no longer paid attention to Wei Dong and asked Li Tianchou directly.
"Yes, Auntie, I wonder if there are any vacancies?"
"Don't call me aunt, just call me Wang Po. It's a coincidence, there is a vacant room on the second floor, if you are sincere, I will take you up to have a look. "Wang Po is very happy.
"Wait, Wang Po doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, just rely on me to introduce you to the business, first implement the rent, and try to be as cheap as possible. Wei Dong hurriedly interjected.
Wang Po glared at Wei Dong, continued to ignore him, turned her head to Li Tianchou and said, "Let's take a look at the house first, if you are satisfied, then talk about the rent, otherwise it's all." ”
"Okay, then I'll bother you. Li Tianchou has no opinion.
Wang Po turned her head and led the way, and the three of them climbed a very steep wooden staircase to the second floor, and there were eight rooms connected by a narrow corridor upstairs, each door was very close to each other, and it could be seen that the rooms were very small, and they should have been re-partitioned.
The landlord used the key to open a door to the right of the staircase, in which there was a rag bed, a small wooden table, and a chair, and behind the door was a simple coat rack made of canvas.
"How's that? On this basis, it's already pretty good in this area, young man. "Wang Po is very confident.
"It's not bad, Mrs. Wang, let's talk about the rent. The conditions are much better than expected, and the cleaning is clean, Li Tianchou is more satisfied, so he will no longer be wordy.
"Well, the young man is very refreshing, Mrs. Wang, I don't owe you, 90 yuan a month, no counteroffer, water and electricity are counted separately. ”
"Oh, my princess, my grandmother. Didn't you just say it? Give some face, cheaper, okay?" Wei Dong shouted from the side.
"Well, little rabbit cub, don't be ignorant, you go to the side and inquire, what is the monthly rent for a house like mine, and I don't want to talk about it if it's less than one hundred or two. Why do you look at your face? I just gave such a low price because this young man is good, and you are still screaming here, are you renting a house or is he renting a house?" Wang Po raised her eyebrows, and her heavy eyeshadow was almost drawn into a semicircle.
"90 is 90, let me ask, is the rent paid every few months?" Li Tianchou stopped Wei Dong, who was still about to speak.
"Pay every three months, no deposit. If you pay once a month, you have to add another month's deposit. ”
"Okay, then I'll pay for three months first. It may be a few days before it comes. Li Tianchou paid the money without hesitation.
Wang Po took the money with a smile and said, "The young man is refreshing." It doesn't matter, it's based on the day you move in. As a reminder, this small building is pure wood and is afraid of fire, but don't cook in it. Also, there is no toilet in the house, so you have to go outside for convenience. Tap water and boiling water are all communal, just downstairs, and nothing else. After speaking, Wang Po handed Li Tianchou a small brass key.
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to give me a copy of your ID card next time you come, it's strict now. When she went downstairs, Wang Po did not forget to remind her.
On the way back, Wei Dong complained vigorously that Li Tianchou was in a hurry, otherwise he would be able to bargain. Li Tianchou smiled faintly, "Such a house is worth the price." ”
Li Tianchou did not break his promise, and really invited Wei Dong to have a big meal in the evening, and he went out of a food stall at the intersection of the urban village, with fat intestines, pig's head meat, mushroom fried meat slices, and enough rice. The dish tastes good and is cheap enough.
Wei Dong touched his belly very contentedly, and hiccups from time to time. He himself was embarrassed to tell Li Tianchou that this was the only meal with plenty of oil and water he had eaten in the autumn breeze for a few days.
Li Tianchou was about to settle the bill and leave, but a man with a beard on the table next to him had been pouring himself a drink, but at this moment, he suddenly got up and escaped from the gear at a speed of 100 meters, unusually fast, without any warning in advance.
"Stop, paralyzed bastard!" the proprietress of the store immediately shouted loudly, and the little boss jumped out of the back hall with a whoosh from the back hall, and chased him out with a kitchen knife in his hand, but it didn't take long for him to come back dejectedly.
"Didn't catch it, ran away?" the proprietress stared at her man angrily.
"Run, faster than a rabbit. It's this bastard again, the next time I see him, I'll have to discount his leg. The little boss gritted his teeth.
Wei Dong shrugged a little embarrassedly, "I eat the overlord meal, but the security here is generally good." ”
Li Tianchou smiled and didn't mind.
Coming out of the food stall, the two pushed their bicycles and didn't walk a few steps, when a sweet and greasy voice came from the side of the road, "Two big brothers, are you playing?" Following the prestige, a woman dressed enchantingly and couldn't tell her age was scratching her head and posing to the two of them on the side. Li Tianchou was stunned, looking left and right, there was no one else except his own Weidong, and then his face was a little hot, he had seen the report, this woman seemed to be a street girl who was soliciting customers on the street.
Wei Dong is not as mun as Li Tianchou, he has obviously seen the scene, and he also said in a snarling voice: "How much does my sister do once." ”
"Yo, my brother is still an old chewer, and he eats fast food at forty at a time. If the two brothers come together, my sister and I will get a discount here. ”
"Brother, I'm ...... "Well...... "Before Wei Dong finished speaking, he was grabbed by Li Tianchou by the neck, and dragged him out of the distance, and there was a giggling of the woman behind him.
"I said you're going to do it, you're playing with me, you're strangling me. Finally broke free of Li Tianchou's arm, Wei Dong complained busily.
"Next time you're playing with yourself, don't take me with you. Li Tianchou jumped on the bicycle angrily.
"Isn't it fun to have an urban village? Haha, this is heaven, my paradise. Ha ha...... My enthusiasm is like a fire, burning the whole desert......" Wei Dong followed closely behind, and got carried away and joked about Li Tianchou.
