"Xiao Chen, I will go with you to Mrs. Wesley's house tomorrow morning, she lives in the red-roofed house that I just drove by, she is a pet rescuer, a kind-hearted old man, if you are her tenant, it is still very good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ye Cong cleaned up the mess of confetti on the ground, and at the same time told Ye Chen the information about the rental house.
"Honey, I'm back," Alina's voice came from the door, and she was seen walking in with two bags, "Let's make some steak today, with a little dessert, and want some red wine?" Although she was asking Ye Cong and the others, she obviously didn't need to answer when she saw a bottle of red wine in the bag in her hand.
"Thank you, Alina. It's up to you to arrange everything. ”
The next morning, Ye Chen slept until late and woke up, opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight shone in through the window. On the lawn outside the window, Ye Cong was holding tools to repair the children's swing, and Jason and Kress surrounded him and watched carefully.
"Good morning, is the swing broken?" Ye Chen opened the window, poked his head out and asked.
"Uncle Chen, you're getting up too late." Jason replied with his head held high, "Chreese is so fat, she broke the swing." ”
"It's not me, it's already problematic." Kreese said a little aggrieved beside her.
"It's not your fault, Krees. It's just a screw that fell off, and it will be fixed in no time. Ye Cong smiled and comforted Chriss, then turned his head to Ye Chen and said, "Come down and eat something, you have to go to see the house in a while." ”
"Okay, I'm here."
Mrs. Wesley's house was very close to them, only a few minutes' walk away, and there were several villas between the two houses. Sure enough, as Ye Cong said, Mrs. Wesley has a very gentle and kind personality, and she keeps a lot of small animals in her small garden. In her words, "These are my children." ”
Mrs. Wesley hugged a cat and talked to Ye Chen with a smile.
"Lawyer Ye is an upright gentleman, I believe that you are also a child of the same quality as him, and I will take you to see the house when I clean up."
Ye Chen: Where they are now is near the southwest corner of Liverpool, they are going to drive northeast, past the University of Liverpool, and then to Leopold Road. When the car passed by the campus of the University of Liverpool, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of his school days, his yearning for the Liverpool club, and Ye Chen came here to study. Because of football, Ye Chen met a large number of friends who love football, which made him have a deeper understanding of the city. Even though he is now working, Ye Chen still often returns to the University of Liverpool, where there are always various football matches, and he can go up and play for a while from time to time.
While Ye Chen was still immersed in the memories of his college days, the car had already arrived at Leopold Road, a narrow two-way street flanked by neat apartments, and the road was not overly decorated, but it was clean. Apartment 17 is located in the middle of the road, and the exterior of the house is painted in yellow paint to make it look very bright. The two-story apartment is separated from the middle, and you have to follow the stairs on the left side of the house to enter the second floor, so apartment No. 17 is divided into two rooms, and Ye Chen rents a room on the second floor. Led by Mrs. Wesley, Ye Chen entered the apartment.
Although it is not inhabited yet, the house is still very clean. Push open the door, and on the left hand side is a bathroom, and after the entrance hall is the living room, about 300 feet away. Next to the living room is the kitchen, and the semi-open kitchen means that it is more troublesome to cook Chinese food. On the north side are two bedrooms, one of which has a closed door.
"This house has a total of two bedrooms, this one has been rented out behind closed doors, and it will take a while to live in it, and it is a Chinese student." Mrs. Wesley pointed to one of the rooms and said to Ye Chen, "I heard that you graduated from the University of Liverpool, and your future roommate and you are an alumnus, so I decided to rent it to you because of this, and I hope you can get along amicably." ”
Ye Chen heard that his roommate was a Chinese, but he was still able to accept it in his heart. He was satisfied with all the facilities of the house, and he was also able to accept the rent, so Ye Chen decided to rent the remaining bedroom.
Under the witness of Ye Cong, an authentic lawyer, Ye Chen and Mrs. Wesley signed a simple rental contract, listing in detail various matters during Ye Chen's rent, especially the way of rent, Ye Chen and the landlord agreed to pay the rent every 6 months, so that it is 1500 pounds, and the rent will be paid after half a year. Some other terms were also signed with reference to Ye Cong's opinion and agreed by both parties.
After the contract was signed, Mrs. Wesley gave Ye Chen the keys to the house, and half of the use of the apartment would go to Ye Chen in the next six months. When it was all over, Mrs. Wesley, explaining that she was going to visit a friend, left the apartment early.
"Big brother, you should go home first, I'll clean the room first, and then see if there are any items that need to be purchased, and I'll go back later." Ye Chen glanced at the house, although the basic living furniture was relatively complete, but he still had to prepare his own personal necessities, so he let Ye Cong go home first.
The room is not very dirty, there is some dust on the ground and on the table, and you can live in it after simply cleaning it, Ye Chen sat on the sofa in the living room, looking around the whole room.
"This is my home base for the future."
I am still satisfied with the rented apartment, because I just worked, so Ye Chen has no plans to buy a house, and it is completely acceptable to share a house with others, not to mention that the roommate is still a Chinese.
The whole room was mainly uninhabited for a long time and covered with a layer of dust, Ye Chen went to buy some cleaning tools in advance and began to clean the room. It was close to noon after the house was cleaned up, and Ye Chen did not return to his eldest brother's house immediately, but called Ye Cong and said that he would go back later. Most of the area around Leopold Road is occupied by apartments for rent, so there are plenty of dining facilities and shopping malls nearby.
Step out of the apartment and follow the path to slowly explore the surrounding facilities, in addition to the various shops needed on a daily basis, there is a small green park at the end of the apartment complex, where tall beech trees grow at the park entrance to greet every visitor who enters, and there are several couples picnicking in the shade of the rolling lawns. Although there are many people living here, there is still a quiet atmosphere. Ye Chen didn't look inside again, turned around and walked towards the Western restaurant he saw when he came.
The apartments near Leopold Road seem to be used for rent, Ye Chen saw a lot of people from foreign countries in the restaurant, and even a few Asians, looking at the daily necessities in their hands, they should also be tenants living nearby.
~~~~~~
Ye Cong's home, bedroom on the second floor.
Ye Chen packed up his daily necessities and piled them up with the packages he brought back to China before.
"Jason, hand over the sheet." The 10-year-old nephew saw that his uncle was going to live and rushed over to help, but after several failed times to fold the sheets, he still did the work of passing.
"Uncle, you have to remember to come back to see me more often," Jason was very reluctant to play with his uncle, "we still have to practice playing football, and I'm about to learn to ride a bicycle now." ”
"Don't worry, Jason. I'm not far away, I'll take you to Anfield for the weekend, and this year Chen's arrival has made the team a lot stronger, and your favourite Steven. "Jason is a big fan just like Ye Chen, and the Liverpool team is the club they support.
"Xiaochen, your phone is ringing." Ye Cong's voice came in the living room. Ye Chen hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and turned on his mobile phone.
"Hi, Chen. Are you back? As soon as I turned on the phone, a loud voice came from the opposite side, and it was the boss calling.
"Hi Jem. I've arrived in Liverpool, is there anything wrong? ”
'Well, next Wednesday we're going to play against the Richmond shipyard, damn Everton, they want to fight us for the training ground.' Jem exclaimed angrily, the loyal Liverpool fan was always so hot, especially when he ran into Everton.
"Okay, I'll be there, see you tomorrow at the company, and tell me more about it then." Although he is not as hostile to Everton as traditional Liverpool fans, as the main force of the company's team, Ye Chen still has to spare no effort to participate.
"Jason, let's go watch my uncle's game on Wednesday." Putting down the phone, Ye Chen touched Jason's head and said to him.
