Lin Zeng made an appointment with Lao Liu, and the next morning they went to see the flower garden of Lao Liu's relatives.

He packed the day's packages overnight, then rode his dilapidated electric car, galloped all the way, and arrived at the bus stop agreed with Lao Liu on time.

As soon as I arrived at the station, I saw the black and thin old Liu, squatting on the side of the sidewalk, holding a cigarette, looking left and right.

"Uncle Liu. Lin Zeng greeted with a smile.

"Oh, Xiaolin, let's take a walk, my relatives are waiting for us in the flower garden now. Lao Liu stood up and waved his hand, he also drove an electric car, just walking together.

"Uncle Liu, here you go. Lin Zeng threw a pack of cigarettes into the basket of Lao Liu's electric car.

Lao Liu hurriedly glared and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you polite to me!"

"No, you know that I don't smoke, and it's a waste to keep it at home. Lin Zeng explained with a smile and started the electric car, "Let's go, Uncle Liu will lead the way." ”

Lao Liu shook his head, and had no choice but to take Lin Zeng and go all the way.

The suburbs of Wuli District, Qinghe City, are located in the east of Qinghe City. The economy in this area is not developed, and some farmland is still retained, and only in the direction of the center of Qinghe is that there are contiguous commercial housing communities. But because it is far from the center, the house price is not high. Moreover, the occupancy rate of this commercial housing is not high, and most of them are speculative purchases by real estate speculation groups, so the rent of this area is also very low.

From the house rented by Lin Zeng, it took about an hour to ride an electric car to the flower garden of Lao Liu's relative's house.

They stopped in front of a red-painted iron gate. The front of the door was empty, without any signage. Lin Zeng looked through the door and happened to see a small two-story red brick building.

"Little Liu, open the door, your third uncle!" Lao Liu shouted at the top of his voice, reaching out and slapping the iron door with a "dong dong" sound.

"Come on!" the iron door opened, and standing behind it was a tall young man who grinned and showed a mouthful of shiny white teeth.

"This is my nephew, Liu Qinghe. Lao Liu introduced with a smile, "This is Lin Zeng, my former colleague." Come and see your flower beds. ”

"Okay, I'll call you Brother Lin, you can come in and watch casually. Liu Qinghe looked a few years younger than Lin Zeng, and while he retreated, he said to Lao Liu, "My father said that I just need to come and watch, and the conditions are still the same, unchanged." ”

Lao Liu was on the way, and he had already told Lin Zeng about the situation of this small flower garden. The small flower garden was built for seven or eight years, and the person who belonged to it was Lao Liu's brother, that is, Liu Qinghe's father. Brother Liu's family runs a small family potted flower shop in the flower and bird market in Qinghe City, and this small flower garden is the store's storage warehouse.

With the demolition of the flower and bird market, the small flower garden was extremely inconvenient because it was too far away from the new flower and bird market, so Lao Liu's brother's family planned to rent out the small flower garden and find a new place near the new flower and bird market.

But Lao Liu's brother has requirements for the tenant. First, it is necessary to carry out planting management, and not to start the transformation of this land. In other words, the land used for planting must also be used for planting during the lease period, and construction that destroys the land such as cement renovation cannot be carried out. Second, the lease term is two years, and the rent is paid in one lump sum for two years.

The second is not too much of a problem for many people who are interested in renting, but the first is to turn many people away. The location of the small flower garden is still close to the center of Wuli District, and most of the people who want to take over it want to use it as breeding or other operations, simply for planting activities, this small flower garden is too small and the rent is too high, so it has not been rented out.

But this was not a problem for Lin Zeng. He wanted to rent a piece of land, which didn't need to be too big, just enough space to grow seedlings for him. Moreover, this small flower garden is well-walled and has complete irrigation facilities, which is very suitable for him.

Lin Zeng walked into the flower garden and saw a stone road that could only be used by two people in parallel stretching, and the surrounding land was dark and fertile, and you could see the new pits that had been dug. Presumably the original owner removed the flowers and trees planted here.

Liu Qinghe led the way in front of Lin Zeng and took him to see the red brick building first. He took out the key to the door of the building, opened the door and introduced: "The first floor is not decorated, it used to be used to store flower pots and tools, the second floor can live in people, there is a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the stairs can go directly to the roof, the roof is very sunny, and it is good to dry clothes." ”

Lin Zeng glanced at the space on the first floor, everything was removed, and it looked empty, although it was not brand new, but it could be seen that the room maintenance was still good.

Liu Qinghe went up to the second floor, pointed inside, and said with nostalgia: "There is a simple decoration on the second floor, all of which are paved with floor tiles and the walls have been painted, but the beds and kitchen equipment must be prepared by yourself." ”

Lin Zeng looked at it and found that the appearance of the red brick building was not conspicuous, but the residence on the second floor was much better than his rental house. The bedroom was at least twice the size of his current rental and had a large balcony. The balcony faces south, and the whole room is bright and airy. Although there are no appliances in the kitchen, the cupboards and cabinets are still there, the style is simple, but it is neat and clean.

Lin Zeng was still standing on the balcony, looking at a piece of land in the flower garden, and was pleasantly surprised to find that not far away, there was a small pool with rippling water.

Lao Liu followed in the end, he was an acquaintance on both sides, so naturally it was not good to say anything, whether the two parties could be satisfied or not depended on the intentions of both parties.

"Then let's go look at the ground below. Lin Zeng was very satisfied with this small building, and he had secretly made a decision in his heart. If there is no big accident, he will definitely rent this nursery, and if he has enough money in the future, I don't know if he can buy it.

"Okay, by the way, Brother Lin, what business are you going to run in this nursery?" Liu Qinghe said politely, but he also revealed the meaning of his words. As landlords, they naturally do not want some inappropriate activities to be carried out on this land.

Lin Zeng groaned for a moment and said, "I am currently doing plant seedling cultivation. ”

Liu Qinghe's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "It's good to sell seedlings, the planting and cultivation time is short, and the cost recovery is fast." It's much better than us flower sellers who resell flowers and plants. ”

The three of them walked around the flower garden, and Lin Zeng almost didn't hesitate and decided to rent the flower garden.

Although two years of rent is currently a regular savings for him, the income from the online store is very good, and he does not value the interest. This money was originally planned to be saved for marriage, but now that he and Chen Huanyue have broken up, it is impossible to consider this issue in the short term, and this money can just be used to pay ground rent.

Lin once expressed his willingness to lease the land, but mentioned that the one-time rent payment for two years is too high, so can it be lowered.

Lao Liu saw that Lin had spoken, and also persuaded his nephew: "Xiaoliu, I have been in contact with Xiaolin's temperament for a long time, he is serious and responsible, and he can say everything he can, he can meet the conditions, he must be able to sort out the flower garden clearly, and he will not damage the land." At this point, the third uncle will give you a package ticket. ”

"Okay, third uncle, Brother Lin, you wait a minute. Liu Qinghe heard Lao Liu's words, nodded, walked to the side, made a phone call, and then walked back and said, "Brother Lin, my father said that if the flower garden can not be used, he would rather have a lower rent, which should be written in the contract." But it can't be too much. Our new flower garden also needs to be rented, and we will round it up to two thousand per month, and forty-eight thousand in two years. ”

In this way, it is 1,000 taels cheaper a year.

Lin Zeng no longer hesitated, he immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I also do planting, this flower garden is well planned, and I don't need to make any changes." ”

Liu Qinghe laughed with satisfaction, he sighed: "These acres of land are handed down by my grandfather, we have been working for decades, and in recent years it has been changed into a flower garden, the soil quality is very good, if it is not for the relocation of the flower and bird market, I am reluctant to move out, this can be regarded as an ancestral industry!"

Lao Liu was also very happy, he waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Little Liuzi, this old brother's heart has been solved, go have a drink with the third uncle." ”

"Third uncle," Liu Qinghe frowned and begged for mercy, "Tomorrow, now I will rush to deliver the goods to my father, tomorrow I will just show the land lease contract to Brother Lin, and I will ask you to be a witness, and I will invite you to dinner at the old man's house." ”

"Cut," Lao Liu patted Liu Qinghe's shoulder dissatisfiedly, "You little slippery head, every time you are so virtuous." ”

"Uncle Liu, don't forget me," Lin Zeng looked at the straightforward old Liu, and said with a smile, "Let's go have a drink." ”

"Oops, it's still your kid!"
