Chapter 19 Renting a House (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

As long as the average student rents it, they will basically live for three years until they graduate from junior high school and go to high school in the county seat.

Therefore, the summer vacation is the busiest time for these tenants, with students graduating from junior high school dropping out of the lease and students who are about to enter the first year of junior high school renting.

Passing through the vegetable market, the asphalt road became a gravel road, full of potholes, Ma Tianyao didn't dare to try to step on it at all, and if she stepped down, the puddle would definitely directly drown her rain boots.

So she followed the minefield and walked cautiously as she looked at the houses on the side of the road.

The residents on both sides are residents of the local town, and almost every house has a sign at the entrance that says 'Accommodation for Temporary Holiday' or 'Housing for Rent'.

She did some math, walked somewhere between the street and the school, and chose a newer, three-story building.

Standing in the doorway, she glanced inside, and could see that the living conditions of the family should be much better in this area, and even the doorway was terrazzo.

There is a room on the left and right sides of the doorway, with a big red curtain, on which a pair of mandarin ducks are embroidered with gold thread, and there is a word 'Xi' in the middle, which seems to be the wedding room arranged by the family.

Looking inside, it was blocked by a wall with cyan landscape paintings, and only the goose warm stone path paved on the right side could be seen extending in.

Ma Tianyao was wearing rain boots, a little afraid of stepping on the clean terrazzo floor, and stood in the doorway and shouted.

"Anyone?"

"Who?"

Crunch!

The wooden door with the word Xi hanging on the mandarin duck opposite her opened, the curtain was raised at a corner, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out of it.

"Hello Auntie, I am renting a house, I want to ask if there is any vacant house in your family?"

"Yes, yes!"

The woman smiled and went back to the room, as if she was not wearing shoes just now, and after a while, there was a sound of slippers clattering, and she came out again and smiled at Ma Tianyao.

"Hehe, girl, go, go in and look at the house. ”

Ma Tianyao smiled and hummed, and the two of them bypassed the photo wall from the right side and walked into the backyard.

The structure of the family's house is decent, the front is a bungalow (the northern countryside is mostly like this, convenient for drying grain), the middle is a courtyard, the kitchen is on the right, and the back is a three-story small building, in fact, strictly speaking, it should be called two and a half floors, the top floor is just a raised roof, which is only more than one meter high, can not live in people, and is mostly used to store agricultural tools and sundries.

The three-story building at the back is all pasted with white porcelain, and it can be seen that even in the town, the family is either rich or expensive.

The woman pushed open the door on the first floor of the back building, and there was a room on the left and right inside.

The doors of the two rooms were locked, and a bunch of keys were taken out to open one of the rooms, inside was an earthen kang, and the edge of the kang was also pasted with cyan porcelain, although the floor was not terrazzo, but it was also a cement floor, clean and tidy.

There are three beds of futons on the kang, all rolled up and piled on the kang, revealing the bamboo mats below. The room is relatively spacious, with a simple plastic assembled wardrobe directly opposite the earthen kang, a rectangular wooden table on the right against the wall, stacked with some books and two old lamps, and three square wooden benches below.

"Girl, the upstairs and downstairs rooms in my house are exactly the same, let's just look at this one, it's more convenient......"

"Is there anyone living in this room?"

"No one lives, these are three students from Tuliangzi Village, they all graduated in the summer, they don't want these bedding, and the other tables, chairs, benches and wardrobes are all mine. ”

"Oh......"

Ma Tianyao looked around the room, originally wanting to find something wrong to make it easier to bargain, but after looking at it for five minutes, she couldn't find anything wrong.

The floor is cement, clean and hygienic, the walls are painted with white ash, and the room is even hung with floor-to-ceiling curtains, and even the lamps are exquisite chandeliers.

As if she had seen Ma Tianyao's thoughts, the woman smiled and spoke.

"The environment of my family is definitely the best in Meadowzi Town, this house was built the year before last, to be honest, my son and daughter-in-law went to work in other places, if I wasn't afraid that the family would be empty, I wouldn't rent how much money I gave. ”

"Auntie, do you live alone?"

"Yes, my wife left early, and finally pulled my son up, built a house and got married, but I didn't expect my son and daughter-in-law to go to work in other places, and I came back for a few days after the New Year, or I rented out the house, I was afraid that no one would find out if I died and the house smelled......"

"Hehe, Auntie, you are still young, okay, I have taken a fancy to this house, it just so happens that the three of us girls live in one, you can make a price." ”

Ma Tianyao smiled and agreed to rent, looked up to inquire, and heard that Ma Tianyao had three people to live in, and the woman was also happy.

Generally, the people who rent a house are a single student, basically they rent a bed, this one goes and that one comes, their house is a clay kang, you let three people you don't know squeeze a kang, who wants to?

If it is rented to only one person, the price is not easy to open, so although their house is good, it is not easy to rent at all, and only those who happen to be three students looking for a place together are suitable.

She lives alone and doesn't dare to rent to three boys, so this is equivalent to restricting gender and adding another layer of difficulty to renting the house.

Now how could he not be happy to hear that Ma Tianyao had three people living in at once, but then asked.

"All three of you are women, aren't you?"

"Hehe, of course they are all women, one is my sister, and the other is from the village. ”

Ma Tianyao said in her heart that this is not nonsense, how can one woman and two men or two women and one man live?

The landlord smiled embarrassedly and opened her mouth to quote the price.

"The rent of our house is 300 per month, pay three for one, deposit 500 yuan, don't bargain for me for the rent, in this way, I will cover the water and electricity bills for you, and you can also use the washing machine for free. Garbage is thrown into the yard trash can every day, and the key is given to each of you separately......"

The key was given alone, and this condition made Ma Tianyao a little moved. Almost no one who rents a house here will give you the key, because these people are afraid that the student will lose the key and cause burglars in the house.

The second is to dislike these students' irregular schedules and disturb their own lives, so when students come here to rent a house, it basically depends on the landlord's schedule.

It's okay to open the door in the morning, but I'm afraid that some landlords lock the door early at night, or occasionally students go back to the dormitory when they are sick, and they don't have the key and the landlord is not there, then it will be a blood mold.

Anyone who lives here is locked out and smashed the door almost every day when he comes back, which has to be said to be a special pain that is indescribable for boarding students.

Although Ma Tianyao is satisfied, but the money is not enough, the total amount of funds she can move now is 1,000 yuan, the deposit is removed 500 yuan, and the remaining 500 yuan is not good, even if she pays a month's rent, after all, the system is still waiting for her to open a store to sell white porridge!

"Auntie......"

She opened her mouth, and she was about to communicate with the landlord and aunt, but she didn't expect a noisy sound from the door behind the wall.

"Anyone? Rent a house!!
