"Where are you staying? I'll send you back. ”

When I came out of the hotel, night had already fallen.

"No need. By the way, you definitely won't be able to go back today, have you booked the hotel?" Zhang Lu said.

Wang Dalun smiled and said, "I, you don't have to worry, don't forget, I'm a local." Go, I'll send you home. ”

In fact, although the owner of this body is a local, he is not familiar with Hangzhou. However, Wang Dalun has worked here for the longest time in his last life, but he is very familiar.

"I really don't need to, I live quite far away. You'd better find a hotel to rest in the morning. Zhang Lu still shirked.

"No, this big night, if you live far away, you have to send it. ”

In fact, when Zhang Lu went home at night, he was a little scared, but when he saw Wang Dalun's resolute attitude, he could only nod his head and agree.

The house Zhang Lu rents is really far away. Wubao, when Wang Dalun worked in his last life, he rented this place. He is well aware of the surrounding environment and security, and it is not too inconvenient to even take the bus here.

He simply called a taxi, and after pushing Zhang Lu into the car, he frowned and said, "I know that place, it is not only inconvenient but also unsafe for a girl's family of yours to live there." ”

"I know that place is bad, but the rent is cheap. Now that I have a good income, I think about waiting until the end of this month when the rent is due, and then I will find a house to rent next to the translation agency. ”

"I don't think you should wait for the end of the month, move out early. Wang Dalun said uneasily.

"But it's a busy time, and it's not always possible to find a suitable house. Zhang Lu said with a distressed expression.

Wang Dalun thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'm fine anyway, I'll go to your translation agency near tomorrow to help you inquire and see if there is a suitable house." If there is a suitable one, you can go over and take a look, and if you are satisfied, we will rent it, and I will help you move when the time comes. ”

"Okay, then I'll bother you. ”

Zhang Lu really can't squeeze out time to look for a house everywhere, and it is of course best if Wang Dalun can help find it.

When I arrived at the place, there was a small black alley, which was not open to traffic. Wang Dalun also deliberately asked the taxi driver to wait for ten minutes, and got out of the car himself to accompany Zhang Lushen into the shallow foot.

Fortunately, the family where Zhang Lu rented was not far from the mouth of the alley, but the environment was very poor, with a typical group rental compound with garbage and sewage everywhere. The cry of the child and the scolding of the adult. He frowned when he saw it, this kind of place could be moved out a day earlier.

Next to the translation agency, there is a Qingnian Road community, which is not large, with more than a dozen multi-storey buildings built in the 80s. Wang Dalun ran to this community early in the morning to wander around, from the notice board of the community to the entrances of each building, he was stunned and did not see a rental notice.

Later, after chatting with the community security guard at the gate for a while, I learned that most of the people living here are civil servants and teachers, and the residents are relatively stable, and there are few rental houses. And even if there is, it is located in the downtown area, both the location and the security are very good, and the acquaintances have spread the word, and the house can be rented out quickly.

Maybe the security guard smoked a few cigarettes from him, and he felt a little embarrassed that he didn't help, so he specially called the property company and asked about it, and he really found out about a rental.

It's a pity that it's not a whole rent but a single room rental, although Wang Dalun is a little dissatisfied, but the house is really hard to find, and the landlord is a female retired teacher, so he decided to go and see it first.

The security guard knew the landlord and listened to him introduce the landlord's wife who died at an early age and his son settled abroad. Because the old man could not leave his homeland, he refused to follow his son abroad, so he has been living alone. It is said that the conditions of the elderly are still good, and renting a house may not necessarily be purely for money, it is estimated that it is to find someone to be a companion.

The landlord is a gray-haired old lady, although she is old, her eyes are sharp, and her expression is very strict. ”

Wang Dalun hurriedly said: "It's not me who rents, it's me, my sister rents, she works at the Haibo Translation Agency next to the YMCA in the back, and if she wants to rent a house here, she just wants to commute to and from work." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be from a translation agency. ”

The people who can work in the translation agency are intellectuals, and they belong to the same line as teachers. The old lady nodded, her expression softened slightly, and agreed with Wang Dalun to come in and see the house.

This is an old-fashioned three-bedroom house, the living room is not big, the rental room is quite large, facing south to the sun, furnished, elegant and clean, and there are a few potted plants on the windowsill, which is very suitable for a single woman to live.

Wang Dalun was very satisfied, but the price was a little more expensive, and the old lady offered 600 a month, which was about to catch up with renting a one-room house outside. Wang Dalun wanted to bargain, but the old lady proposed that she wanted to meet someone first.

Originally, Wang Dalun was going to bring Zhang Lu to see it, but he hurriedly agreed, saying that he would bring someone immediately.

Zhang Lu was surprised to hear that Wang Dalun had found the house so quickly, and that it was in the Qingnian Road community next to it, so she hurriedly said hello to the manager Sister Zhang and followed Wang Dalun to see the house.

Zhang Lu was very satisfied when she saw it, but she was very hesitant about the rent of 600 yuan. The old lady also had a good impression of the thin and small, very sven girl in front of her, so she generously lowered it by one hundred or five hundred a month.

However, it is best to pay the rent once a year, at least once a year. At the same time, there are three chapters of the law: you must not take men and women here for the night, you must not come back in the middle of the night to interfere with her rest, and you must keep the room clean and tidy.

The monthly rent of 500 is still cost-effective, Zhang Lu hesitated for a moment and nodded his willingness to rent. The old lady had already prepared the rental agreement in advance, just fill in the numbers.

"Then how do you pay the rent? a year or half a year?" asked the old lady.

Without waiting for Zhang Lu to speak, Wang Dalun preemptively said: "One year, we will pay once a year." ”

After speaking, regardless of Zhang Lu's desperate looks, he directly took out a stack of unopened 100 yuan bills from his bag, counted out 60 bills, and paid a year's rent.

Both parties signed and signed the mortgage, and the house was rented.

"Hey, you go back and pack up, and move here in the afternoon. ”

Zhang Lu said worriedly: "Wang Dalun, I will pay you half a year's rent later, and I will send you half of the salary next month." ”

Wang Dalun smiled and said, "No need." ”

"How can this be?"

"Why can't you? You didn't hear me tell the old lady just now that you are my sister, since you are a sister, it is nothing to be an elder brother to help my sister pay some rent, you ......"

Halfway through the words, Wang Dalun found that there was no one around, and when he looked back, he saw Zhang Lu standing still.

"Let's go, hurry back and pack up your things!" Wang Dalun urged.

Zhang Lu still didn't move, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said, "You really treat me as a sister?"

"Of course, I used to call you Teacher Zhang Lu, but now I can finally let you call me brother. Wang Dalun said with a smile.

"Hmph, you pity me, right?" Zhang Lu suddenly sneered.

"How can this be said to be pitiful, I sincerely want to recognize you as a sister. ”

Wang Dalun frowned, what he was most afraid of was that Zhang Lu would be like before, with low self-esteem, digging into the horns of the bull, and refusing to accept anyone's help.

"Come on, you just pity me. Forget it, I don't rent this house. Thank you for your kindness. After Zhang Lu finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go upstairs.

Wang Dalun hurriedly ran over and grabbed her, and for some reason, his anger suddenly rose, and he scolded in a slashing voice: "I think you dare? What I can't see the most is that you are dead-eyed! What's wrong with me helping you pay some rent? You think I have a lot of money!

That's right, I just pity you, pity you for being alone, pity you for running around for a living. Do you think that not accepting any help, even at the cost of losing all your friends, is your so-called self-esteem? Phew! You don't call this self-esteem, you call it inferiority! You never consider the feelings of others, you are still called selfish, and selfish to the extreme. ”

Zhang Lu was frightened, the disdain and arrogance on his face before were long gone, replaced by horror. She didn't understand why a man who had always spoken softly to him and cooked for her could suddenly become so irritable. Is it selfish not to accept the kindness of others? She suddenly felt very aggrieved, and tears overflowed from her eyes, and she couldn't stop flowing down.

"Whew-"

The anger in his heart was out, but when he saw the little girl's tearful appearance, he felt unbearable for a while, don't look around, and sighed: "Whatever you want, you can do whatever you like." ”

He suddenly felt very bored. As the saying goes, there must be something hateful about the poor. He didn't know what he was doing? Just to sympathize with the sick? There are so many orphans and poor people in the world, so why should he bother?

Zhang Lu stood still, just crying. He didn't bother to comfort him any longer, so he went straight to the front flower bed and sat down, lit a cigarette, and smoked it without a puff, and although his eyes looked away, he still swept it there from time to time.

After a while, Zhang Lu didn't go upstairs to check out, but walked over slowly.

"Wang ...... Brother Wang. ”

"Something?" Wang Dalun said expressionlessly.

"I, I'll go back and pack my things now......" she said, and said hurriedly: "But I really can't use your money, I can earn money myself, but I don't have much money now, and when I have money in the future, I will still pay it back to you." ”

Wang Dalun breathed a sigh of relief, this girl finally didn't drill the tip of the horns again, it was really a candle that didn't light up. So he stood up and said, "That's it, but I don't have to pay back my money in a hurry, when you really have money, it's not too late to pay me back." ”

said, and took the opportunity to point to the simple clothes on her body, and said: "Look at you, the eldest girl's family doesn't know how to dress up, so you can be regarded as a white-collar worker now." Okay, let's go. ”
