Chapter 22If you're lucky
Chen Dainan looked up more than a dozen model store lease contracts on the Internet, and after carefully flipping through them, he copied the key content in the notebook he carried with him.
As for the style of store decoration, she personally prefers a simple and transparent sense of forest, there are many examples on the Internet that have very good effects, she picked some special favorites, and saved a copy of the computer and mobile phone. The things that can not be used at home for the time being, she sorted them out first, packed and sealed the boxes.
At half past ten on Friday morning, Chen Dainan brought all the things and materials needed to sign the agreement and came to Ms. Shen's snack bar again.
The agreement on the lease of the store and the transfer of the store was prepared by Aunt Zhou.
Chen Dainan read all the agreements carefully, and she also checked the original property right certificate brought by Aunt Zhou in detail. After making sure that there was no problem with the agreement and the title deed, the three parties signed the agreement together at the door of the snack bar and pressed their fingerprints. Chen Dainan and Aunt Zhou did one more thing, and the two of them left a copy of each other's ID cards.
Because Ms. Shen and her husband needed two days to process the ingredients and utensils in the store, Chen Dainan only gave them half of the transfer fee when it was officially handed over on Monday, and the other half was paid when the official handover was made on Monday. The money between her and Aunt Zhou was also agreed to be transferred on Monday.
After signing the agreement, Aunt Zhou took Chen Dainan to see the house.
She found out about a total of three houses for rent, one of which happened to be in the same area as the store, and she herself lived in the same area, so she decided to take Chen Dainan to see this house first, and if Chen Dainan was not satisfied, she would take her to see the other two.
The landlord of this house himself is not in the local area, and the house has been entrusted to a friend.
Therefore, Aunt Zhou inquired about the other party's situation as carefully as possible, and knew that the other party also lived in the same community and was quite reliable, so she was relieved.
Aunt Zhou took Chen Dainan to meet the agent at the gate of the community, the agent is an eldest sister in her early forties, and her words and deeds are more cheerful and active. The three of them chatted briefly, and then went to see the house together.
Aunt Zhou and Chen Dainan roughly introduced that their area is a large community, and there are five phases of the overall community, and their current location is the third phase.
The house is located in the back of the community, with one ladder and four households, the third floor, one bedroom, one kitchen, one bathroom and one balcony.
The landlord bought this house for rent at that time, and there was almost no decoration, just laying floor tiles and painting the walls. An old-fashioned fluorescent lamp runs across the old yellow ceiling, the ceiling fan is dirty and old, the blades are covered with thick dust, and the lamp and ceiling fan are broken. The furniture in the room is even more simple to the extreme, simple detachable cloth wardrobes, simple single folding iron beds, simple folding dining tables and two plastic stools, and nothing else.
There is a single-fire gas stove with a very simple structure in the kitchen, and the gas main valve downstairs is not open, so it cannot be tested, and I don't know if it is good or bad for the time being. Cement tile stoves and simple fan range hoods are very dirty, especially range hoods, which are full of black oil, and you will smell a pungent smell of moldy oil when you get close.
The old-fashioned gas water heater in the bathroom was broken, and there was not even a clothes pole on the balcony.
The overall condition of the house can be said to be relatively poor, but whether it is the floor tiles in the living room or the tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, the patterns are very retro and very tasteful. Although it was very dirty, and some places were so dirty that they couldn't even be seen in their original appearance, they were not cracked or damaged.
Chen Dainan didn't hesitate to decide to rent, compared to the small single room she lives in now, this house is relatively cost-effective.
It's just that the situation in the house is indeed too old, and many things need to be configured by Chen Dainan himself, and even repainted and decorated.
So, Aunt Zhou helped repay the price, and also helped put forward a request, that is, the price should not be increased for the first three years.
The agent was also happy to ask for an annual rent for this request.
The three of them negotiated together, and Chen Dainan, under the witness of Aunt Zhou, took 1,000 yuan in cash and handed it to the agent as a deposit.
The agent wrote a receipt to Chen Dainan, agreeing to sign an agreement to get the house keys the next day.
After separating from the agent, Aunt Zhou told Chen Dainan that there are long-term cooperative painting masters, electrician masters, etc., and the prices are reasonable and more trustworthy. If she is in a hurry, she can make an appointment with the master first. In this way, when the agreement is signed on Saturday, the masters can start construction directly.
For this, Chen Dainan was very grateful, and even asked Aunt Zhou to introduce her to the decoration company.
After doing everything, Chen Dainan didn't stop any longer, bought some bread and milk, and went directly to the base by car. The two friends on duty today have to go to work at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and she is just able to get on top when she is busy here. In the next three or four days, she has to take care of the newly rented house as soon as possible, and basically can't find time to go to the base to do things.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chen Dainan signed the rental agreement with the agent, transferred the money to the landlord's bank card, and got the key to the house.
The painter she contacted on Friday made an appointment with her at half past nine. Taking advantage of this time, she first moved the few old and old simple pieces of furniture in the house, and the single-fire gas stove that I don't know if it was good or bad, and successively moved them downstairs and put them next to the trash can. Fortunately, things can be folded and disassembled, and they don't take up too much space.
At half past nine, Chen Dainan's two painting masters arrived on time. The two masters studied it carefully inside and out, and found an aunt who specializes in kitchen hygiene to deal with the old grease and grease in the kitchen.
The old oil stains are not easy to clean, especially the dirt that has stuck to the wall over the years, and it took my aunt a while to get it done.
According to Chen Dainan's request, the two masters first removed the fluorescent lamp, ceiling fan, water heater and range hood, and then began to prepare for painting.
The house is small, and there was almost no decoration before, which saved a lot of preparation time, and at about six o'clock in the evening, the two masters finished painting Chen Dainan's newly rented house.
After settling the account, Chen Dainan opened all the windows in the house, the house structure was very ventilated, and it was estimated that he would be able to move in in a day or two.
Back at her residence, she bought some furniture and electrical appliances necessary for her living room on the Internet according to her own situation. And basically it is delivered nearby, and it can be delivered one after another on Monday and Tuesday.
On Sunday, Chen Dainan spent the whole day cleaning up.
She scrubbed everything she could in her newly rented house, and wiped as clean as she could.
Removing the layers of dirt on the surface, the floor tiles in the living room and the tiles in the kitchen and bathroom finally revealed their original colors and patterns, and with the newly painted white walls, she personally felt that the overall effect was actually quite comfortable.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Dainan returned to her residence after eating pork knuckle pho downstairs, and as soon as she entered the door, she went into the bathroom.
After washing away the fatigue of my body and feeling that I had regained some energy, I turned on the computer and took out my old phone from the drawer and turned it on.
Sure enough, after turning on the phone, the old phone rang for a while, and it took nearly five minutes before it gradually subsided.
When the old phone was completely quiet, Chen Dainan first took screenshots of all the vicious swearing messages sent to her by Chen Jiawei, and used the old WeChat to send them to her new WeChat, and then she logged in to the computer PC of the new WeChat and saved all the screenshots to her computer. The recordings and screenshots that were stored in the old phone before, when the computer was just bought, she had already transferred all of them to the computer.
After saving all the things that needed to be saved, and looking at the time, Chen Dainan called up her mother's mobile phone number from the contacts on her old phone.
If Chen Jiawei and Wu Lili were at home at this time, they would definitely keep calling her. Since her phone is very quiet at the moment, it means that there should be only her parents at home, and if she is lucky, maybe her mother is the only one at home.
Since Chen Jiawei got married, the person who made the most trouble with her in the family was actually Chen Jiawei.
Although her father has always been very fierce to her, and will beat her if he doesn't agree with her, he has obviously retreated a lot in front of Chen Jiawei than before, and Chen Jiawei has gradually made decisions about major and small matters in the family.
With his fingertips hanging over the dial key, imagining the situation he was about to face, Chen Dainan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then lightly clicked the dial button.
Almost as soon as she got through, Chen's mother picked up the phone and yelled and scolded Chen Dainan on the other end of the phone.
"Do you still know how to call back? Why don't you just die outside? You don't answer the phone and turn off the phone, and I can't find anyone after looking for you for so many days, I thought you were hit by a car outside! Why aren't you dead? Why don't you die? What are you doing alive like a beast? How can you still have the face to live?"
Chen Dainan subconsciously pushed the phone away, although she had been prepared, her heart was still pierced by her mother's curses one after another.
"Why don't you speak? Are you really dead?"
Chen's mother yelled at herself on the phone for a long time, only to find that the other end of the phone was quiet, and it suddenly became even more popular.
Chen Dainan rubbed her temples, which were a little swollen by the noise, and replied in a low voice: "You keep scolding, what do you want me to say?"
"What kind of attitude do you have? How many days have you not been in contact with your family, do you know how worried your family is about you? If you are at home now, do you see if your father will beat you to death!"
Chen's mother's volume soared again, and the shock made the phone have some broken sounds.
Chen Dainan inexplicably felt that she wanted to laugh, but she really smiled, and her smile revealed a sense of helplessness, sadness and a little tiredness.
She sighed, maintained a gentle attitude and voice, and said slowly: "If it weren't for Yan Sheng's parents saying that they would introduce me to a job, how much is the annual income, and they don't mind me using my own salary to help my mother's family, would you be so active in contacting me? And if I just refuse to cooperate or refuse to be at your mercy, then you absolutely wish I really died outside. ”
