Chapter 29 Renting
After braiding his braids, Gu Nan went out first, and Shang Jia touched his big scorpion braids, and his heart was warm. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
She began to plan her future life, although Tongyang does not have the same high consumption level as Pingcheng, it is a city, and the consumption is always high.
She sat in front of the mirror and was distracted, and she didn't know when Gu Nan entered the door with breakfast.
"What are you thinking?" Gu Nan put his hand on her shoulder.
Shang Jia smiled back. "Shall we rent a house for the time being?" she asked.
"Don't you already have a place to live?" Gu Nan said as he turned around and cleaned up the bits and pieces on the table, and put two bowls of white porridge, a few steamed buns, two oil cakes, and a plate of pickles on the table. "Come and eat. ”
Shang Jia turned his head and looked at Gu Nan's delicately contoured face. "Brother Nan, the hotel is good, but it's too expensive, the money you bring can support it for a while, but what will happen after a period of time?" Shang Jia said seriously.
Gu Nan looked at her more serious appearance and suddenly smiled. "Don't worry, I'll go to see a house early in the morning, and I'll take you to see it later. ”
Shang Jia didn't expect him to say this, she looked at him in surprise, "Really?"
"Well, I'll take you there after dinner. Gu Nan picked up a pickle in his hand, and Shang Jia took a bite of it.
The pickles tasted exactly the same as what she had eaten as a child.
She was really not mistaken, Gu Nan was better at planning than her.
After drinking two bowls of white porridge and eating some pasta, Gu Nan packed her luggage and took her to the rented house.
Before coming back, Gu Nan made an appointment with the landlord, and the time was just right at the moment.
Tongyang under the sun looks red, and some rusty iron signs at the mouth of the alley glow red under the sun.
Hutongs cover the entire urban area, the willows not far away hang their hair weakly, and the transparent fish swim around in the clear river, floating on the surface of the river with full energy to bask in the warm sun for them.
Shang Jia involuntarily leaned towards the river and walked along the river.
Gu Nan forgot to glance at the river, and then glanced at the far away, the direction of the distant flow was covered by the old high-rise buildings in Tongyang, and its curved arc made it a little impossible to see the front of the river.
The woman was washing her clothes on a bluestone slab on the bank of the river
Originally, the stone slab was covered with a lot of moss, but because there were many people washing clothes, the slippery moss was unconsciously worn off by the women's feet.
The clothes swung into the river, and immediately a trace of damp mud rose from the bottom of the river.
"This way. He took Shang Jia's hand and walked to the side of the bridge.
"Want to go up to the bridge?" Shang Jia asked.
"Naturally. Gu Nan took steps to pull her across the river from the bridge, and the other side of the bridge was also an alley, and the alleys were lined with stalls.
Vegetable sellers, noodle sellers, grocery sellers, cloth sellers, all lined up, full of decorations.
The two of them passed through the stalls in the alley, and then turned left at the port of a tailor's shop, and the street was already small, and the stalls on both sides occupied it, and the area of the road that people could cross was even smaller. Almost tiptoeing through the crowd.
I don't know how many alleys like this one passed, and finally stopped at the gate of an old courtyard.
"It's hot......" Shang Jia glanced at the sun overhead, and then looked at the courtyard.
The yard is not necessarily very prosperous, but it is not lonely, although it is old, but in the center of the yard stands a tall old tree, the vines of the ancient tree are scattered, and there is a large branch shade covering half of the roof.
"This is it. Gu Nan pointed to the entrance to the hospital.
Shang Jia walked straight inside and saw an old man at the gate of the courtyard.
The old man was shabby, had a long beard, and had the temperament of an ancient literati.
The yard is covered with a layer of cement gravel, and the house is not big, but it always feels like home.
The first impression is particularly good, Shang Jia used to be an intermediary, and her first feeling about the house was extremely optimistic, although she never had a house of her own. The place where she used to live was an old community, I don't know how long it has been built, in short, it is very hot in summer and very cold in winter......
Facing west and facing the sun, it is convenient to dry clothes, but it is more than enough to dry people.
"This house can be cheaper if you two are willing to rent it. The old man came up and held an old wooden cane, many of which were worn out in many places, but it did not affect the old man's temperament.
"Brother Nan, what do you think?" Shang Jia asked.
"If I don't think it's good, I won't bring you here. Gu Nan smiled.
Why is this man like this, he always talks around and around, isn't it genetically inherited from his mother......
"My son went abroad to do business, my daughter got married, my wife died, and it wasn't interesting for me to live here alone. The old man's eyes were sincere, and he was just talking calmly.
"How much?" Although Shang Jia was satisfied with the house in his heart, he also had to consider the issue of funds, after all, money was relatively tight at the moment.
She's a money string, and that's never changed......
"How about 5 yuan a month?" asked the old man with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
He looked at Gu Nan, Gu Nan looked at Shang Jia, as if he was waiting for her decision, so the old man also looked at Shang Jia.
The decision was in her hands, and she looked at it again and again, and the house she really liked.
However, she complained a little in her heart, what would be an old man's house, if she was younger, she could still bargain, but for an old man, she couldn't speak.
After all, she has an inexplicable respect for the old man in her heart, and most of the old people are very reasonable and good at communication, of course, some old-fashioned ones are not excluded.
"Or that's it?" Shang Jia looked at Gu Nan and asked for his meaning.
"That's it. Gu Nan smiled slightly, and then immediately finalized it, and a few people simply signed the agreement in the courtyard and handed over the keys.
After the old man signed the contract, he told a few words to take care of the house, and then took the paper pestle and walked away with a cane, Shang Jia looked around presumptuously, the furnishings were old, but there were two electric lights in the house.
There is a small river ditch outside a few alleys, and it is convenient to wash clothes when it is close, the key is that the object of sharing is Gu Nan. She didn't have to choose.
Shang Jia sorted out the contents of the luggage in the closet, while Gu Nan picked up the hammer that he already had and knocked on the corner of the wooden chair.
Shang Jia was in a good mood and hummed a song while cleaning up.
"I'm going to ...... Yang Liu Yiyi...... Now I think about it...... Rain and snow ......"
Gu Nan couldn't help but admire her when she heard her humming voice, singing was so good.
It was the first time he had heard Shang Jia sing, and he only knew that she was excellent in dancing on weekdays, and the first time he found that she sang so pleasantly.
The two of them cleaned up in the house and repaired it for most of the day, and no one felt how hot it was, probably because the heat was blocked by the big tree in the yard, or the two were in a good mood and forgot about the heat.
