Chapter 255: Mr. Qian's Home
Mr. Chin's house is located on the edge of a small square. According to Xu Shuang'www.biquge.info, the square is only three or four sizes of the site in front of Uncle Wang's house, and in the words of the people of Chen Chi's house, it is a flat dam paved with cement bricks.
Two or three plane trees were planted on the edge of the small square, and several sorting garbage cans were built between the trees, and Mr. Qian's house was in the middle of a row of three conjoined apartment buildings, just across the square from the garbage cans.
Seeing that the ground was uneven, Chen Chi lifted the box with one hand, and crossed the small square with Xu Shuang.
"It's not bad, right? It's easy for me to go out shopping in the future. Xu Shuangjiang pushed the cart and smiled at the earliest.
Chen Chi squinted at the building opposite, a fairly ordinary brick house with three floors, the first floor is a straight staircase, the second floor is the living room and kitchen, and the third floor is the bedroom balcony, this type of public rental housing is very common in the downtown area. There is a stone road on the left and right sides of the square, and there is also a row of buildings on the side of the road.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and there were only the two of them walking around in the small square, and there was no noise, which seemed to be quite quiet and peaceful in this open community.
Chen Chi was about to open his mouth, not far away came the sound of giggling and laughing, he followed the sound and looked over, only to see two curly-haired fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys pedaling tall gray bicycles, facial features look like descendants of immigrants from Latin America, although people are not strong, pedaling looks quite free and capable, both of them only hold the handlebar with one hand, twist their waists to reach the pedals, turn their heads sideways and chat side by side. In a flash, they rode along the path on the edge of the square to the community.
His gaze subconsciously followed the backs of the two teenagers, and when Xu Shuangchuan took out the key to open the door, he suddenly asked: "Shuangshuang, you haven't told me yet, how do you pay the rent?
"Cash, pay the monthly rent within the first week of each month, and not later than the second week. Xu Shuangchuan squinted and teased, "I'm afraid that it's not safe for me to withdraw money at home?" I'm not a child, so I'll give it to them directly." ”
Chen Chi frowned and said, "No, if you give cash, there is no posting voucher." ”
Xu Shuangchuan couldn't help laughing and said: "It's okay, Mr. Qian and his wife look very good, and after receiving the money, they insist on confiscating it, after all, there are very few people who pit like that, don't worry." Besides, this is how the people who used to live in paid their rent. ”
"Rental income involves tax returns, cash, you know? The bank can't see the money. Chen Chi frowned and asked, "Did Mr. Qian buy this house himself, or did he wait for the government?"
"How do I know? It's hard to ask so clearly. Xu Shuangchuan shook his head, "I heard that Mr. Qian has been immigrating for many years, even if he doesn't buy it, he has been queuing up to apply for public rental housing, he should have applied for it." ”
She opened the door, pressed her fingers to her lips, and whispered, "Don't say it, Mr. Qian may be at home." She pulled away her smile and reached out mischievously and twisted the corner of Chen Chi's mouth, "Okay, I know what you're worried about, the tax declaration is Mr. Qian's own business, and it has nothing to do with me, I just have to pay the money." ”
Chen Chi grabbed Xu Shuangzhen, who was about to go up the stairs, looked at her with a serious expression, covered his eyes slightly for a while, and said softly: "Shuangshuang, I just want to put you in a place where everything is compliant." ”
"Compliant, compliant, it's good for me to be compliant. Xu Shuangchuan said in a loud voice, snatching the longevity begonia in his hand, "Come up, you give me some advice, see if I arrange it well." ”
Chen Chi looked at Xu Shuangchuan who walked briskly, it was difficult for her to walk such a long way, and her energy was still so abundant, he paused, slightly exerted force in his hand, and followed with the box.
Mr. Qian was really guessed by Xu Shuangchuan and was watching TV in the living room. In fact, Xu Shuangchuan moved things over two days ago, Mr. Qian was watching TV, he may have been chasing a disc of a Hong Kong and Taiwan drama recently, Xu Shuangchuan pushed the door on the stairs open, and heard a burst of men and women crying on TV, mixed with inaudible arguments and quarrels, and the plot probably reached its climax.
"Oh, Susie, you're here. Mr. Qian got up when he heard the movement, and when he saw Chen Chi, he became even more enthusiastic, "Hello, hello." ”
Chen Chi hurriedly said, "Hello uncle." He was quick to do things, and after a moment of greeting, he said directly to his master: "Uncle, I will live here today and leave tomorrow." ”
"Today is to help Susie move, right? You have to rush back tomorrow? Mr. Qian smiled kindly, "Ajie will come back in the evening, and we will have a meal together." ”
Chen Chi and Xu Shuangchuan couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Ajie likes Susie very much, and has long said that when Susie officially moves over, she will show her hand. You go and put your things away, get some rest, and call me if you need anything. "Mr. Qian is very polite.
"How's it going? After Xu Shuang descended upstairs, he whispered to Chen Chi.
Chen Chi didn't say anything, stood by the door, and asked, "Where do you put the box?"
He opened the simple wooden wardrobe and found that he couldn't fit the box into it, either horizontally or vertically. Estimate the height of the bed again, there is not enough space underneath.
"Here, I'll get my clothes out later. Xu Shuangchuan pointed to the side of the wardrobe and said with a smile, "I've compared the sizes, and it's just right to get stuck in." ”
Chen Chi stared at her and silently put the box against the wall. Xu Shuangchuan happily carried the plastic bag to the small balcony to fiddle with the longevity begonia.
Chen Chi stood in the middle of the room and glanced around. This room seemed even smaller than his current room. If it weren't for the fact that there was a door leading to a small balcony that could visually open up the bright spots, it would be a really room.
At the beginning, he accompanied Xu Shuang to see the house, because he had long wanted her to dispel her mind, so he didn't pay too much attention to the layout of the room. He walked out of the door and stood at the staircase of about one square meter, behind him was Xu Shuangjiang's room, on the left hand side was Mr. Qian's master bedroom, and on the right hand side was the washroom.
Maybe Mr. Qian is upright, or maybe Mr. Qian forgot that the tenant is about to move in, and his door is actually open generously, but the curtains are still closed, and the room seems to be very dim.
At this short glance, Chen Chi only noticed that Mr. Qian's room was also simple, except for the double bed, there was no expensive furniture, and a movable drying rack was set up under the window, on which a few clothes were put on.
Chen Chi turned his gaze, opened the door of the bathroom on the right-hand side, and looked carefully. But I saw a pair of half-old plastic shower curtains enclosing a small square for bathing, a washing machine in the other corner, and a very simple washbasin on the opposite side, which is all, more simple than the decoration of the express hotel. The toilets are separated, arranged in the downstairs entrance, and if you want to get up at night, you have to go downstairs through the living room.
Chen Chi looked down at the stairs, and the sound of opening the door and talking came from below, and it sounded as if the hostess had returned. He turned and went into the room, sat down on the edge of the bed, his fingers brushing the futon, the light yellow cotton cloth was soft to the touch, but there was no new appearance.
The single bed is against the wall at one end and the balcony door at the other. It was a lightweight aluminium door, with glass lighting on the top and a pale blue curtain nailed to the top. This is definitely not Xu Shuangchuan's favorite style.
Chen Chi sat on the edge of the bed with his head tilted, his eyes on the balcony, and Xu Shuang squatted, playing with the leaves of the longevity begonia. The sun shone on her, half of her face was as smooth as white jade, and the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, as if she was very distressed, which couldn't help but remind Chen Chi of their return to China last year, she pulled him to count ants on the mountain path, and she was as pure as yesterday.
