Chapter 346 Renting a house
When the young man entered the house and saw that there was a stranger, he was stunned for a moment, and rubbed it to the side, and when he learned that the person who came was his father's comrade-in-arms and also a soldier, the young man let go, and walked around Li Hongjun, asking this and that for a while.

He was still interested in the little chubby boy who was calling his brother with his face up, but he didn't catch a cold when he sat on the bed and stared at him with big eyes.
After the two children finished eating, the eldest took the younger one and went to dig an ant hole in the yard. A few adults stayed in the house and chattered.
Li Hongjun and his family also knew about Chen Jing's situation over the years.
Chen Jing was discharged from the army three years ago, and the army arranged for him to enter the TV factory, and the original job was the factory security department, but Chen Jing may be used to being a soldier, and he likes to go straight to work, but many people don't like this way of doing things, and they don't like this kind of person who can't turn, so Chen Jing's position in the factory has changed again and again, and now he has been reduced to going to the warehouse to work as a shift.
From the perspective of future generations, it is a good job, not tired from work, and a day off and a night after a night shift. But nowadays people don't like this type of work, because the wages and bonuses in the TV factory are paid according to the number of hours worked.
If you don't work the day shift for a day, it will be almost more than 30 yuan a month, and like Chen Jing, if you take a day off a day, it will be 289 yuan a month.
Don't underestimate those ten or eight pieces, the purchasing power at this time is amazing.
Ma Huilan is a family member, and she brought her children with her after Chen Jing was discharged from the army and assigned to the factory. In addition, she has a bad leg and doesn't even want her to be a temporary worker, so Chen Jing's family of three is supported by Chen Jing's salary of less than 30 yuan every month.
The child is getting older, and this money is even more stretched in this family, so Chen Jing often goes to the train station to unload goods when she rests during the day, which is billed by the piece, and it is good to earn a dollar to carry a bag for a day, and this is not a daily job.
"Let's not talk about that, let's have a drink." Chen Jing raised her glass and touched it with Li Hongjun.
Ma Huilan hurriedly persuaded beside her, "Chen Jing, don't drink, you have a shift tonight, if you let Director Yang smell it, you will have to stab you with words." ”
Chen Jing raised his neck and drank the wine without saying a word.
Ma Huilan sighed beside her, but she didn't speak.
Shen Yunfang saw that the atmosphere on the table was not very good, so she hurriedly found a topic and talked about children, and the atmosphere became warm again.
Li Hongjun and Shen Yunfang secretly glanced at each other, hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
After eating, Chen Cheng knew that his little brother would stay for a long time, so he reluctantly went to school.
Ma Huilan stayed to clean up the table, and Chen Jing took Li Hongjun's family of four to Wang Yan's house to look at the house.
Originally, Shen Yunfang was supposed to stay in the Chen family with her children, but Li Hongjun thought that the rented house would be lived in by his daughter-in-law in the future, so she had to take a good look at it, so this time it was another family of four who acted in unison.
Not long after a few people walked out of Chen Jing's courtyard, Chen Jing shouted in front of a house: "Swallow, swallow, are you there?" ”
"Hey, yes, yes." Wang Yan pushed the door and walked out.
"Let's go up to your house and have a look." Chen Jing said with a smile.
This is Wang Yan's father-in-law's house, and he now lives with his father-in-law. Of course, his father's and mother's family are no longer in this community, and for the convenience of work, he lives here, and he definitely doesn't eat soft rice.
"Hey, okay, let's go." Wang Yan smiled and followed everyone to his house.
After two more turns and walking for six or seven minutes, Wang Yan led everyone into a courtyard.
"Yo, why are the swallows back?" A woman who was washing clothes in the yard greeted her acquaintance when she saw a few people entering.
"Sister Ma is doing laundry, I'll take my friends home to sit down." Wang Yan smiled and took out the key, opened the door on the far right of the main room, and led everyone into the house.
The size of the house is about the same as Chen Jing's house, but there are only two partitions, and when you enter the house, there is a long kitchen, which is a bedroom, a 1.5 meter big bed, a solid wood cabinet at the head of the bed, and a dresser next to it, and a sofa at the foot of the bed. There is a window in the main room, there are no curtains during the day, the room is much brighter than Chen Jing's house, and there are two earth heaters installed in this room, which are connected to the stove outside.
"This house was cleaned up when I got married, and my daughter-in-law and I didn't live for two days, if you look good, let's talk." Wang Yan is still very confident in his family, and no one in this area can clean up so neatly like theirs. If it weren't for the pity, he wouldn't be willing to rent it out.
Shen Yunfang looked around inside and out to understand the situation. For example, cooking is done in the small shed built at the door outside, and the draft needs to be carried by the residents themselves, and there is no toilet in the yard, so it needs to be solved by walking out of the courtyard for two minutes from the public toilet in the south.
To be honest, Shen Yunfang really didn't like this condition, but the situation is like this, and there is nothing to be picky about. And with Chen Jing's family comparing it before, it seems that this house is not so difficult to accept. She nodded comfortingly, fortunately, this family area is electrified, and she doesn't have to hold lights and candles in the future.
The house was not bad, and then a few people sat down and started talking about the rent.
Because they are all acquaintances, Wang Yan didn't ask for a high price, eight yuan a month, and took care of his own electricity bills.
Li Hongjun and his family discussed, and then rented the house. Because they are all acquaintances, there is no need for a deposit or anything.
Li Hongjun paid half a year's rent first, a total of 48 yuan. Both parties write a simple rental contract.
Because there were no personal items in the house, and the things that were put here could be used by Shen Yunfang, Wang Yan gave the key to Li Hongjun after receiving the money and taking the contract.
The house is their own for the time being, so Shen Yunfang and Li Hongjun looked at the house inside and out again, remembered the things that were missing at home, and prepared to look at it tomorrow to buy it.
Because the guest house has already moved in and paid the money, Li Hongjun's family of four still lives in the guest house on this day. Early the next morning, Chen Jing didn't return home after the night shift, so she came directly to the guest house to pick them up.
Then they took their luggage to their new home, put the bedding on the hard bed, and the room was immediately different.
After that, Li Hongjun asked the two children to be watched by Ma Huilan's gang, and then Chen Jing took the two of them around S City, in addition to being familiar with the environment, the main thing was to go everywhere to buy things that were lacking.
Finally, the house was almost able to live, and Li Hongjun accompanied Shen Yunfang to report to the school.
*North Agricultural University is a school with a long history, and although it has been dilapidated by years of movement persecution, its heritage is still there.
A family of four went to school like this, and was cordially received by the principal, after understanding Shen Yunfang's difficulties, and seeing two pairs of smart and pure big eyes under the desk, the principal did not resist, agreed to Shen Yunfang's request not to live in school, and also agreed that when Shen Yunfang really had no choice, he could take the child to class.
So far, Shen Yunfang's most difficult problems in college have been solved.
