Chapter 016: Go to the county seat

She couldn't afford a compound like this with what she could afford now, but it would be more than enough to rent one of them.

With the experience of her previous life, Zhang Yunxiu naturally knows where to rent a house, and she can use this opportunity to meet those former friends in advance.

After all...... There are also many poor people in this era.

As if recalling something that made her unhappy, Zhang Yunxiu frowned as she walked.

It wasn't until she met the liberation car going to the county that she quickly relaxed her expression and stood on the side of the muddy road and stretched out her hand to stop the car.

Lihuagou here is naturally not a special trip to the county bus, but because of the geographical location, there is a north-south intersection of the road, usually lucky, when you go to the side of the road you can recruit this kind of truck, give a four or five cents to take a ride, of course, when you come back, it is the same.

When Zhang Yunxiu got into the car, a mother and son were already sitting in the passenger seat of the truck, and the two seats behind were also crowded with four people.

However, this year, there is no such thing as a private car that is not crowded at all, as long as the car is not broken, how many people can get on it.

A few passengers who were dressed fairly cleanly inside did not dislike Zhang Yunxiu when they saw that he was wearing a patched outfit, but squeezed in very friendly, vacating a place that could barely sit down.

"Thank you. ”

Zhang Yunxiu didn't dislike that the back row was already full of people, thanked the people inside, and asked the driver for the ticket money, before taking out the four cents before handing it over.

Although the people in the car don't know each other, the people of this era can still talk about the topic casually, and most of the conversations between the women are trivial things, or complain about how their lives are miserable.

Zhang Yunxiu listened all the way, and endured the smell of diesel and other peculiar smells in the car, and arrived at Huaixiang County in less than 20 minutes.

The liberation car will not enter the city directly, so Zhang Yunxiu got out of the car in advance at the edge of the city, sniffed the fresh air again and exhaled a long breath.

In the early 70s, Huaixiang County was really dilapidated, and the tallest building would not exceed three floors, but compared to the town and the countryside, the houses in the city were all built of blue bricks and tiles, and only a few earthen houses were located on the edge of the city.

Outside Huaixiang City is a large area of farmland, which looks like a green carpet, and there are people working in the farmland, and some young children are also laughing and scolding on the roadside.

Zhang Yunxiu didn't waste time, stood in place and carefully recalled the memories after he moved away from his mother's house with his daughter, and then walked in the direction of Huaixiang City.

The houses in this area of the west of the city are all old houses left over from the war, and they are the places where the big landlords and small landlords live together, and even the ground is paved with bluestone slabs.

In the past few years, during the period of national turmoil, most of the people living in this area are workers working in factories.

However, after the owners of some houses returned from redressing their grievances, the people of the court ordered them to return their former houses, and those who had suffered far from their hometowns also changed greatly after returning, and many people sold their houses to the court, or resold them to others through the hands of the court and then left this sad land completely.

Of course, more people still choose to get their houses back and continue to live in Huaixiang, and the surplus houses will be rented to the workers who used to live here at a low price.

Some people who were unwilling to move out and did not want to pay for renting a house were also forced to be evicted by the owner of the house called the police, and the extra house was also rented out after the imperial court filed it.

In her previous life, she only took her daughter out to rent a house when she was seven or eight years old, and this time it was a full four years ahead of schedule, and she was not sure that the renting thing would go as smoothly as before.

Twenty years have passed, but when Zhang Yunxiu stepped here again, she found that her memories that should have been blurred for a long time slowly became clear.

She didn't plan to come to the door directly in this special era, and it would not be good if some ill-intentioned guys deliberately pointed out that there was some ulterior secret between her and the landlord.

In her previous life, she had heard Sister Zhu Feng say that there was a second-rate person living in this area, and in 75 years, she reported the landlord and a tenant who did not go through the formal procedures at that time, and almost killed the landlord in prison again.

Although the tenant and the landlord were all right in the end, they were still frightened for a long time, for fear that one day a group of people would suddenly rush in and randomly put a hat on the two of them and arrest them.

Zhang Yunxiu didn't dare to bet that he would meet such a bad-hearted guy, so he went to the street office first to explain his intentions.

"What are you doing here?"

Before Zhang Yunxiu approached the door of the street office, he saw a short and fat black round-faced aunt coming out of it, she was wearing a dark blue cloth shirt and holding a yellowed cowhide book in her hand.

"Eldest sister, I wanted to come to the comrades in the office and ask if there was any vacant room nearby that could be rented to me. Zhang Yunxiu subconsciously brought a sincere smile on her face, "By the way, ask if you have any work." ”

"Where is your job?" the round-faced aunt was very enthusiastic, "But if you want to rent a house, you have found the right place, we have information on the vacancy situation in the west of the city, what do you want to rent?"

"Just rent a one-room apartment, it would be better if the kitchen was separate. Zhang Yunxiu immediately said.

"Ouch, how can there be a house with an independent kitchen rented out these days! The top is not enough for the workers!" The round-faced aunt laughed, "Only the kind of miscellaneous yard, do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Yunxiu knew that in this period, in addition to the vacant houses on the side of the courtyard, there were only three-story tube buildings.

However, the situation on the other side of the tube building is much more complicated than the miscellaneous courtyard, and she didn't plan to live in the tube building from the beginning.

"Okay. Zhang Yunxiu nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, you come with me into the house, I'll find out about your situation first. The round-faced aunt immediately turned around and entered the house.

Renting a house these days is not something that can be rented casually, and the people who are the neighborhood offices always need to know who lives in the area they manage.

There are also household registrations, which are also related to the distribution of rations, can you first understand them clearly?
