Chapter 8: Why Didn't She Come?
He Yuan went back and slept in a damp room all night.
Early the next morning, my sister called and said that she had come over.
He Yuan walked out of the alley and saw the senior sister and master standing outside the door, and his first reaction was to scatter a cigarette for the master first.
The master naturally took it and hung it on his ear.
Seems to be a very easy-going person.
"Come in, don't stand outside. He Yuan said hello.
Bring the two into the yard.
He Yuan took them on a tour and put forward his own needs.
"Here, I need to paint the outside walls, which are too old. ”
"Here, I need to open up the room and make it a big suite. ”
"Here, I need to make the window a little bigger, and now this window is a bit low and the sunlight can't get in. ”
"And here......"
The master listened on the side, groping around, asking a few questions from time to time.
After the visit, the master pondered for a moment and said, "The thing is quite simple, and there is basically no problem." ”
"By the way, let me ask, I want to prepare some decoration equipment by myself, is it okay?" He Yuandao.
The master didn't speak, but glanced at the senior sister.
Senior sister waved her hand: "No problem, come according to what you like, you can rest assured of the quality of the project." ”
The senior sister said so, and the master didn't say anything.
The matter was finalized, the master went back first, and agreed with He Yuan that he would come over in two days to start work.
After the master left, He Yuan said to the senior sister: "This time you will make a lot less money." ”
"It's all my own family, and I don't want to make money or not. Besides, this job is not difficult in the first place, anyone can do it, and it is not easy for you to take care of your senior sister. Senior sister said.
"There are three or five pieces on the Internet and more than 20 dollars in a physical store. A washbasin cabinet sells for 500 online, and a physical store has to sell for 1,000. You let me order it myself, and I have to make half less at once. ”
He Yuan's hard decoration this time is not a small amount, and there are at least six sets of wash basin cabinets alone.
He checked on the Internet, and the price that met his requirements was between more than 1,000 and 3,000, which would have to be at least doubled if it was in a physical store.
What's more, he also has to install a bathtub in the room, as well as a copper-plated faucet, and the bits and pieces add up, at least a small price difference of tens of thousands.
"I didn't expect you to study it. Senior sister glanced at He Yuan.
"I want to decorate, so I checked it on the Internet. He Yuandao.
When he didn't have a house before, He Yuan especially wanted to buy a small apartment.
At that time, Weibo was still very popular, and He Yuan's account stored a lot of pictures of decoration.
The senior sister took out a pack of ESSE popping beads from her small bag and took out one to light for herself.
He Yuan couldn't help but look over.
Noticing He Yuan's gaze, Senior Sister said, "What's wrong." ”
"Nothing, just the first time I found out you smoke too. He Yuan retracted his gaze.
"What's the matter, you don't think I'm like the kind of woman who smokes?" The senior sister looked at He Yuan, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling.
"Not really, I know a lot of women who smoke. He Yuan spread his hands.
"Don't you think they're not serious?" said the senior sister.
"When I used to study, I would think that people might be mixed with society and overpowered. Now I have seen a lot, in fact, it is just like that, my former leaders and colleagues also smoked, and I didn't see how serious they were. If a woman smokes is not serious, are all men smoking?"
"The little mouth is quite good at talking. The senior sister smiled, took a puff of smoke, and spit it out, "I rarely smoke, mainly because the current business is not good, and I began to check the environmental protection indicators last year, and the originally ordered goods were pressed in the factory and could not come out." finally came out, and the cost rose a lot. This year is stricter than last year, all kinds of fees are rising, and if this continues, it will be time for my store to close. ”
"Is it so difficult to do, I see that the housing prices in the city are rising very quickly, last year it was only 3,000, and this year it is almost 10,000. ”
"When you buy a house, you don't have to decorate. You go to the neighborhood and see how many rooms are lit up at night. The senior sister said, "Even if there are a few to decorate, this and that, tens of thousands of yuan want to pretend to be refined, I can't wait for you to do it in vain." A few down, time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, maybe not as much as you make here. ”
He Yuan did not speak, listened quietly, and was a loyal listener.
As she spoke, the senior sister stopped and smoked there.
"You're in a bad mood?"
"Nope. ”
"Can I ask why you wear sunglasses? He Yuandao.
As soon as he saw his senior sister today, he noticed the toad mirror on her face.
The toad mirror was large, with a wide body that almost covered most of her face.
It's almost winter now, and the sun isn't shining.
In a small county like theirs, few people will wear toad glasses.
Senior sister didn't speak.
He Yuan suddenly approached the senior sister, and his face was almost on the senior sister.
Senior Sister was startled, and instinctively took a few steps back to avoid He Yuan.
"Who did it. He Yuan asked.
Although the senior sister hid quickly, she was still seen by He Yuan.
Under the wide mirror, there was a red mark on that delicate face.
Even though I put on the foundation, I can still see some small wounds in the corners of my eyes and the bridge of my nose.
The senior sister helped her glasses and said, "I still have something to do in the store, so I'll leave first, and I'll come back when I get back to work." ”
The senior sister dropped this sentence, threw away the cigarette butt in her hand, turned around and walked quickly towards the outside of the alley.
He Yuan watched his senior sister get into the car in a hurry, and in a panic, the car almost didn't burn.
After a while, the senior sister started the car and drove away in her Ford.
He Yuan stood in the courtyard for a while, and it took a long time before he sighed.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
Shaking his head, He Yuan then turned around and entered the living room.
After a while, he came out, took out the mobile phone bag he bought yesterday, and walked towards Tang's hometown.
Tang's hometown was very close to him, and he turned right out of the alley, only one or twenty meters before and after.
The courtyard of Tang's old house was not fenced.
When He Yuan went, he was sitting on a recliner, shaking and shaking.
There was a radio on a chair next to it.
"Donald, I'm here. ”
He Yuan shouted twice, and Tang Lao reacted and wanted to get up from the chair.
"You sit, you sit, I'll do it myself. He Yuan carried the mobile phone bag into the house and put the bag on the chair next to Donald, "The mobile phone was bought back for you, the money is not too much and no less, it is just right." ”
"It's good to buy it back, it's good to buy it back, it's good to buy it back. Donald touched the delicate mobile phone bag, wanted to see it, but was reluctant to take it out, so he rummaged through the bag there, repeating it in his mouth.
He Yuan smiled and said, "I'll leave the phone here with you, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly." ”
Only then did Tang Lao react, and hurriedly put the bag aside and grabbed He Yuan's hand.
"Xiaoyuan, next week is Duoduo's birthday, you can come over and have a meal together. ”
"Next week?" He Yuan was stunned for a moment, he wanted to say that he still had something to do, but the words became "Okay, then I'll come over to eat." ”
"Then you must remember. ”
Donald instructed there, and the dry skin on his face was squeezed into a ball.
Coming out of Tang's hometown, He Yuan was thinking about going to the county seat to rent a house.
The old house is too long, and it is very inconvenient to live.
If nothing else, just going to the toilet at night has to run from the bedroom to the outside.
Not to mention the "big work" such as bathing, there is not even a water heater at home, and the bath can only be boiled in a large iron pot, and then packed in a plastic bucket and mentioned in the bathroom for bathing.
In the summer, you can take a shower with cold water, but in the winter, it is terrible.
Besides, the home is about to start decorating, and He Yuan can't stay in it all the time.
How big the dust.
After only a month and a half, he spent some money in the city, rented a house, and waited until the house was renovated before moving back.
Originally, when Donald invited him, he wanted to talk about it.
But when he thought that even if he came back, there would not be much distance, so he simply agreed.
He Yuan walked to the bus stop and took the bus directly into the county seat.
I found an intermediary agency, and there happened to be someone in the store.
He Yuan put forward his request, and after the intermediary listened to it, his face was a little hesitant.
"That's the case, sir, most of us here are long-term rentals, and we have to ask if there is a suitable room for this short-term rental you mentioned. You take a break here first, and you'll be fine soon. The intermediary said.
He Yuan sat down on the side and swiped his mobile phone under the intermediary's greeting.
The clerk brought a glass of white water, and after greeting him, he went to the next door and started making a phone call.
Without swiping a few messages, the intermediary came back and said to He Yuan: "Sir, the house has been found, but there are too few one-bedroom houses in the county, and there are almost no short-term rentals.
"Do you have a picture, I'd like to see it. He Yuandao.
He usually has to look at the photos before renting a house, and when he feels that the photos are satisfied, he will go to the site to see the house.
This is a county seat, not a big city, so I don't worry about the agent using fake listings to deceive him.
"Yes, I'll find it out for you. ”
The agent took out his mobile phone, found the listing, and handed it to He Yuan.
"The owner of this house was originally bought as a wedding house for his children, but when the children went to work in other places to buy a house, the house in his hometown was empty. The location of the house is good, the light is very good, but the decoration is more exquisite, so the price is a little more expensive. The agent looked through He Yuan and explained the listing information.
He Yuan took a look at the photos, and his first impression was not bad.
Bedroom or something, he doesn't really care, it's okay.
He was more concerned about the bathroom and kitchen, and he also noticed that the house had a large balcony.
The wind and sand in Beijing are particularly strong.
When He Yuan rented a house in Beijing, the balconies were all wrapped.
Rao is like this, every time I go to the balcony, I will still be choked by the accumulated dust.
