Chapter 9: Birthday
"How much?"
He Yuan asked while flipping through the pictures.
"One thousand five months. The agent rubbed his hands.
This house price is not too high for He Yuan.
When he first went to Beijing, he shared a room with others, and his small single room of about eight square meters cost almost 2,000 yuan a month.
But this is the old home.
Although the average price of housing in a small county town has risen from an average price of 3,000 to almost 10,000 recently, the rent has not changed much.
On the contrary, there was a slight decrease in the number of listings.
Ordinary set two, a few hundred yuan a month, even if it is finely decorated, it is only about 1,002, only a better set of three, can be rented to about 15,000.
In other words, this set of two sets was rented at the price of three sets.
He Yuan took a general look, the decoration of the house is still good, and the favorite European-style decoration of the small county town.
Beds, wardrobes, sofas, look at it is not a bargain, it should not cost less.
"Okay, that's it, can you go and have a look. He Yuan asked.
Anyway, he lives for a month and a half, so there is no need to toss so much about a few hundred dollars.
In Beijing, every move is the most devastating time for He Yuan.
If it weren't for the rising rent, He Yuan would actually like to stay in one place for several years.
"Yes, I'll go get the key. The intermediary hurriedly said.
The house is less than a mile away.
Waiting for the intermediary to get the key, the two walked over together.
This is a house located in the north of the city, which is a new house built in the past few years.
From the outside, the balcony looks nearly ten square meters, and the house is not small.
The location of the house is also really good.
Next to it is a small river, there are several teahouses by the river, from the top down, you can see the tea table by the river, scattered some customers drinking tea there.
A little further on is the night snack street, there are many food stalls, there are also many restaurants, in the evening the lights are bright, people come and go, especially lively.
There are three or four schools in the vicinity, ranging from kindergarten to junior high school.
Both the setting and the living setting are very good.
The intermediary swiped the access control and took He Yuan into the community.
The green area of the community is good, there are rockeries, swimming pools, scattered fitness equipment everywhere, and even He Yuan also saw a tennis court isolated by steel wire mesh, next to which is a plastic basketball court.
The house is on the eighth floor, and the two of them take the elevator up, and the intermediary opens the door.
He Yuan took a look at the house, and the facilities in the house were very new.
Judging by experience, these things are basically unused.
The agent said that this house has hardly been lived in since it was renovated, and this is the first time it has been rented. The landlord himself rarely comes, so the facilities are basically new, and He Yuan can move in directly.
He Yuan asked some details again, such as water and electricity bills, natural gas, Internet and other questions, and the intermediary answered them one by one.
He Yuan felt that there was no problem, and finalized it on the spot.
After going to the intermediary office to sign the contract, He Yuan used his mobile phone to transfer money and got the key.
Then He Yuan went directly back to the old house, put some daily necessities, a change of clothes, a mobile phone charger and a laptop into a backpack, and took a taxi directly to the new residence.
He couldn't wait a minute.
An hour later, He Yuan simply sorted out the bedroom.
Falling on the sofa, He Yuan lit a cigarette, and the smoke was a little drunk.
I remember when I was in Beijing, every time I moved, I had to spend half my life.
He Yuan has relatively few things, but he also has to pack quilts, bed covers, clothes and shoes, toiletries, kettles and humidifiers, as well as computers and various books.
Books, in particular, are so heavy that they take up a suitcase every time.
When he first worked, in order to save money, He Yuan usually invited a friend, and the two of them carried two bags and took the subway to bring them over.
Later, he began to have some savings in his hand, so He Yuan used the same city express to express the duffel bag, and then took the subway with his suitcase.
It's still good.
He Yuan has seen girls move, and that is the real move.
He Yuan used to share a house with two colleagues, one of whom was a woman.
Her boxes, at least seven or eight, a dozen or so, were all of that kind of big boxes.
Every time you move, you have to call a car, and sometimes you can't finish moving a car, so you have to move twice.
After resting for a while, He Yuan originally wanted to take a shower, but found that he didn't bring toiletries.
I'll have to remember to buy it in the small supermarket downstairs for a while.
He Yuan packed up and prepared to go out to eat.
When he looked at the house just now, He Yuan found that there were many small restaurants nearby.
He Yuan searched for what he wanted to eat all the way, stopped and stopped, and suddenly found that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar.
Only then did He Yuan realize that he actually lived near his sister's shop.
Seeing that there was a store in front of his senior sister, He Yuan began to hesitate a little.
Do you want to go over and see for yourself?
But thinking of what happened in the morning, He Yuan felt a little embarrassed.
Senior sister should have encountered something, and she should be in a bad mood now.
If you bump into it like this, you may put a hot face on your cold ass.
Don't touch this mold.
He Yuan sighed, and was about to turn around, when he saw a figure rushing out of the store.
"Get out, don't come here. Let me tell you, if you want money, you don't have a penny, we are already divorced, go to your junior!" The senior sister rushed out of the store, holding a steel pipe in her hand.
"Xu Yun, don't go too far, don't forget that I'm still Yan Yan's father! You're going to make me anxious, I'll let you never see Yan Yan again!" the man stood at the door, yelling at the store.
"Get out!" the senior sister waved the steel pipe and was about to rush forward.
The man was startled, turned and ran.
While running, he turned back from time to time, swearing in his mouth, and he couldn't get rid of those three ways in his words.
After the man left, the senior sister stood in place.
After a while, she wiped her face and turned to go inside.
He Yuanyuan watched his senior sister's back disappear, and silently lit a cigarette.
Ay.
......
He is far from the past.
Just like when I was in school, my roommate fell out of love and would always cry to him.
He Yuan comforted him, saying that the girl was not good, she didn't look good, and her figure was not good. The personality is too extreme, and it always pesters you, which is not suitable for you.
She doesn't deserve you.
As a result, within a few days, the two reconciled again.
Then the girl has always been very hostile to He Yuan, and the roommate is also under the influence of his girlfriend, and he is getting farther and farther away from He Yuan.
Since then, He Yuan has understood a truth: don't blindly mix with other people's housework.
He Yuan found a small shop and had dinner.
When he got home, he bought toiletries in the small supermarket downstairs and couldn't wait to take a shower when he entered the house.
After coming out of the shower, He Yuan fell on the sofa and let out a big sigh.
"Cool!"
He Yuan felt that his pores were open, and there was an indescribable refreshment.
God knows what kind of life he has lived in the past two months since he returned to his hometown.
There are no internet cafes or supermarkets in the small village.
There is a small convenience store, but the items inside are often out of stock.
You have to go to the county seat for dinner, otherwise you can cook noodles at home, or go to Donald's to have some rice.
To take a bath, you have to boil water by yourself, such a big iron pot, every time you move water, you have to move it for more than ten minutes.
He Yuan can not wash without washing.
I couldn't help it, so I reluctantly went to the kitchen to toss firewood.
He Yuan is a person who loves cleanliness very much, and when he is most exaggerated, he has to take a bath twice a day.
Now living in the county seat, He Yuan feels much more comfortable, and the familiar feeling is back.
He couldn't wait to decorate the old mansion.
After resting for a while, He Yuan opened the online mall and began to choose the accessories to be decorated.
The old house tries to maintain the original style as much as possible.
The interior design is simple and classical, with no tiles and no ceilings.
He Yuan divided the house into several areas: living room, lounge, study, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
In the living room, he is ready to abandon the traditional layout and make a tatami mat in the middle of the entrance. It can be raised and lowered in the middle, and it can also be stored underneath.
The lounge is relatively simple, He Yuan is going to put a sofa, a table, and then prepare a space, and put fitness equipment in the future.
In the study, He Yuan found a solid wood spliced bookshelf and bought a few sets of tea sets by the way. If you have time, you can go to the county town to set up a set of solid wood tables and chairs, which can be used to make tea and read books, or as a computer desk.
The last time I passed by the LC area, He Yuan saw a lot of golden silk nanmu furniture for sale.
The bedroom is the focus.
He Yuan is going to open up all the partitions between the five suites and connect them together. Remove the living room, separate the bathroom with glass, and put a bathtub inside. The bathtub must be white porcelain, and the bath head must be matte and all copper.
In the kitchen, He Yuan kept the old stove, but simply renovated it, paved the ground with bluestone slab tiles, and then added some household appliances. By the way, buy new refrigerators, kitchen utensils, etc., and try to maintain the original flavor.
To be honest, He Yuan quite likes the rice steamed in the steamer.
By the way, every room should be equipped with air conditioning, and a few washing machines should be bought with dry cleaning functions. During the days when he went home, He Yuan washed his clothes by hand, and he almost didn't tire him out.
The cement floor in the yard must also be covered with turf, bluestone bricks, and then a surprise deer in the corner.
As for the custom wardrobes, bathroom ceilings, central air conditioners, wall decorations and other flashy things that ordinary people like to do, He Yuan removed them all.
After ordering the things, He Yuan took a look at the shopping cart.
He didn't pick those big-name things, but specifically looked for discount products with relatively high cost performance.
The mall is discounted at two ends for three days, and it really allows He Yuan to find a lot of good goods, such as a four-seater fabric sofa, which only costs less than 15,000. With the addition of two single seats, the full set is only more than 2,000.
Despite this, calculated piecemeal, He Yuan also spent nearly 150,000 yuan.
Wait until the later stage to add some bits and pieces, and it is estimated that it will be tens of thousands of gone.
This is still He Yuan's own choice, if it is handed over to the decoration company, it will be two or three times more than that.
In this way, the one million that just arrived in hand went by a small half in an instant.
