"Whew, I'm tired, this elevator is actually broken." Qin Ge was carrying a big bag and stood at the door of his new house panting.
Yes, Qin Ge moved, and this decision was made in the afternoon.
As for why Qin Ge suddenly wanted to change houses, he had to start from the morning.
At half past seven in the morning, he received a call from the fat manager of the Xuefu Bookstore, saying that "The Little Prince" had arrived and that there were already people who seemed to be queuing up to ask for his autographed copy, saying that he hoped that Qin Ge would arrive at the Xuefu Bookstore at eight o'clock as much as possible.
At eight o'clock, Qin Ge arrived at the Xuefu Bookstore as promised for the signing of "The Little Prince", which was not counted as a signing.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the new 10,000 copies of "The Little Prince" in the school bookstore were sold out again, and the task of reassuring readers was handed over to the store manager. Qin Ge quietly slipped out of the back door of the Xuefu bookstore, but he didn't forget to promise the readers' requests when signing the sale.
At the time of the signing, many book friends told him that many friends on the Internet wanted him to open their own community space, and everyone wanted to interact with him.
Qin Ge thought about it, it was better to open a space, so that it would be convenient to communicate with readers, and he could usually send some things to readers in his own space.
But because the conditions of the place where he lived were really not good, he couldn't pull the network cable, so Qin Ge spent an afternoon looking in Yuncheng to see if there was a suitable place.
This search really let him find it, and it was in Wenfeng Garden, which was less than two hundred meters away from the school.
Wenfeng home is built in the famous scenic spot Wenfeng Park in Yuncheng, like a green ribbon of Jianjiang River flows slowly from the side, the supporting facilities in the park are perfect, the vegetation coverage rate is 86%, the scenery is beautiful, and the air is fresh. Moreover, Wenfeng Home is adjacent to supermarkets and major shopping malls, which is very convenient for shopping, and is one of the best residential areas in Yuncheng.
And he is also very satisfied with the house rented by Qin Ge, the house is on the sixth floor, and the lighting is very good. The landlord of the house is an old couple in their sixties, the male owner is an old professor who studies Western literature and used to teach Western history at Yuncheng Normal College, and the female owner is a retired English teacher from No. 2 Middle School.
The reason why they want to rent out this house is because their children are developing in Europe and China, and they want to take them over, and the two old people are retired, and they have nothing to do and can see their grandchildren in the past, so they simply agreed.
The house was empty and empty, so they wanted to rent out the house, when Qin Ge first came to see the house, they didn't want to rent it to Qin Ge, after all, Qin Ge was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy no matter how he looked at it. It's not that they're afraid that Qin Ge won't have money, but they are worried that Qin Ge's family doesn't know that Qin Ge came out to rent a house, and he secretly ran out to rent a house, after all, the No. 2 Middle School is relatively strict in this regard, and there are no special circumstances, and students must live on campus.
So at the beginning, they didn't plan to rent this house to Qin Ge.
However, during the conversation, the landlady suddenly asked Qin Ge what Qin Ge's name was, and when Qin Ge said his name, both the landlady and the landlady looked at him with curious eyes.
"You are the Qin Ge in the second middle school? The Qin Ge who won the first place in the New Concept Essay Contest and wrote "The Farthest Distance in the World" and "When You're Old"? The landlady asked, pushing his glasses.
"Hehe, yes, it's me, I'm that Qin Ge." Qin Ge replied a little shyly.
"Come on, come on, sit down, it turns out that you are Qin Ge, yesterday Da Jiang was still praising you with me on the phone, saying that your attainments in English are not low, and you also sent us "Whenyouareold" that you wrote in class, we all liked it very much." The landlady suddenly took Qin Ge's hand affectionately, and then motioned for him to sit down on the sofa.
"Look, this is my translation of "Whenyouareold", how about you take a look? Does it match the version you have in mind? At this time, the landlady actually took out a piece of paper from "The Little Prince" and handed it to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge looked at the "Little Prince" and the note in the hand's hand, was stunned, and asked, "Grandpa, what are you ......?"
"Hehe, your grandfather Song likes your works very much, he not only translated "Hurry", "The Emperor's New Clothes", and "The Furthest Distance in the World" into English, but also translated "whenyouareold" into Chinese called "When the King is Old". And she also liked this poem very much, he said that it felt like he wrote a love poem to you, grandma Zhang and me. So when he found out that your novel "The Little Prince" was released yesterday, he also asked someone to buy him a copy of "The Little Prince", and he said that the story written by the person who can write these two poems must not be bad. The landlady held Qin Ge's hand as if she were holding her grandson's hand, pointed to a black notebook on the coffee table, and said affectionately.
"Grandma Zhang, you and Grandpa Song are really happy." Hearing this, Qin Ge spoke.
Not to mention, this "When You're Old" is really suitable for such a loving and romantic old husband and wife to sue each other.
The landlady glanced at the landlady with some dissatisfaction, and said, "You talk a lot, come, Xiao Qin, take a look." ”
"Hehe, I feel affectionate when I see Xiao Qin, it's not okay to say a few more words." The landlady retorted.
"Okay, okay, you go on, but let Xiao Qin show me my translation first." The landlady spoke.
"Yes, then Xiao Qin, you can help this old man take a look." Grandma Zhang let go of Qin Ge's hand and said.
"Haole, since Grandpa Song and Grandma Zhang think so highly of me, then I'll take a look." Qin Ge looked at the two of them and smiled, and then the note was read.
I saw that the piece of paper was neatly written:
When you are old
The old man is sleepy,
Take a book by the stove and chant.
Autumn water falls back into a dream,
Soft reflections are deep.
……
Slowly over the top of the mountains,
The starry sky fades.
Qin Ge was quite shocked when he read the whole poem, thinking to himself, this landlady seems to not only have research on Western literature, but also has no hidden attainments in Chinese literature, how can this poem be translated as a master.
"Grandpa Song, the translation is so good, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I can't translate it so well." Qin Ge opened his mouth and said, he was telling the truth, and it was probably impossible for him to translate so well with his own true level.
When the landlady heard this, he immediately laughed happily like a child, and said to the landlady: "Haha, I'll just say that my translation is good, you still have to say general, you see, you see, now Xiao Qin has said it." ”
"Hehe, Grandpa Song, that's Grandma Zhang's embarrassment." Qin Ge smiled and spoke.
"Look at your sassy look, Xiao Qin is afraid that you are old, and if you say bad things, I am afraid that it will hurt your heart and make you angry." The landlady spoke.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to tell you, let's do it, Xiao Qin, we'll rent this house to you." The landlady picked up his translation of "When the King Grows Old" and looked at it again, and spoke.
"That's so much thanks to Grandpa Song and Grandma Zhang, so how to calculate the rent of this contract?" Qin Ge said.
"Hehe, we actually just want to find a reliable person to help us look at the house, after all, your Grandpa Song and I are old, and we have poor adaptability to the bad environment, so we may come back when we will come. But don't worry, this house is very big, even if we come back when the time comes, you don't have to look for a house, just stay here, and it's good to have someone to chat with us. Grandma Zhang patted the back of Qin Ge's hand and said.
"Yes, you can live here with peace of mind now, write books here with peace of mind, and we will charge you five hundred a month for rent. If you don't have money for the time being, it doesn't matter, create well, and then give it to you when you have money in the future, grandpa believes that your achievements in the future will not be low. Grandpa Song also spoke, they knew that Qin Ge must be renting a house just to find a quiet creative environment.
"What's that? I've inquired before, and the minimum rent for such a house is more than 1,000. Hearing this, Qin Ge hurriedly spoke, he was not a person who liked to take advantage, not to mention that he liked this old couple quite a lot, so he couldn't let the family suffer.
"Hehe, it's really a sincere offspring, but we are more at ease with you. What you said is right, if it were someone else, we wouldn't rent it for two thousand, but who called you Qin Ge, who called you Grandpa Zhang liked you so much, and who called you Teacher Dajiang to be my student? The landlady spoke.
"Yes, our main purpose is to find someone to help us take care of the house, the house is rented to you, we can rest assured, there is nothing to worry about when we go to Europe." The landlady also spoke.
"That'...... That grandma Song, don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of the house, when you miss Duyun, you will come back when you miss the old friends here. When you come back, call me, and I'll pick you up. Qin Ge opened his mouth, he was not a hypocritical person, and when he said this, he opened his mouth and agreed.
"Okay, okay, with your words, your Grandpa Song and I can go to Europe with peace of mind." Grandma Zhang squeezed Qin Ge's hand and said.
"Haha, that's it, then Xiao Qin, I and your Grandma Zhang will leave, and the house will be handed over to you, you have to take good care of the house for us." The landlady, Grandpa Song, pulled out a large suitcase from the room at some point.
"Grandpa Song, what are you doing here?" When Qin Ge saw this, he was stunned for a moment, did this mean that he was about to leave?
"Haha, Xiao Qin, I'm not satisfied with you, our passports have already been issued, and the ticket is also booked at four o'clock this afternoon, if you don't come today, we will also leave, and the house will be handed over to you Teacher Dajiang to help us deal with it." We've already cleaned up the room, so it's a kind of fate that you can come today! Grandma Zhang said to Qin Ge with a smile.
"But you have left all these things here, aren't you afraid that I will take them?" Qin Ge looked at the fully furnished furniture and household appliances in the room, as well as the porcelain that he knew at a glance that the price was not low, and said.
"Hehe, you also underestimate your Grandma Zhang and your Grandpa Song, we have taught all our lives, and we still can't understand what kind of person you are?" Grandma Zhang said with a smile.
“…… Grandma Zhang, Grandpa Song, thank you. Qin Ge had too much to say in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to turn into a thank you.
"Okay, here's the key, let's call you, Mr. Oe, and ask him to pick us up." Grandma Zhang picked up the key on the coffee table and handed it to Qin Ge.
"Grandma Zhang, I haven't paid you the rent yet." Qin Ge hurriedly spoke.
"Rent, you can just hand over the rent to you Teacher Dajiang, you give us RMB now, and we won't need it when we get there." Grandma Zhang said.
"Oh, yes, there is no RMB circulating over there, so I'll leave it to Mr. Oe. Ay...... Wait, Grandma Zhang, who is Mr. Dajiang? Qin Ge suddenly found that after talking for so long, he still didn't know who the teacher Dajiang in this grandmother's mouth was, so he asked a little embarrassed.
"You don't know your teacher Dajiang, Dajiang is Zhang Dajiang, the head of your school's English group, he used to be my student. Looks like you don't know him yet, or he'll come and take us to the airport later, or if you're not in a hurry, you can wait, and you'll be able to see him later. Grandma Zhang said.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway." Qin Ge also wanted to send the two old men, so he agreed.
"Hey, Oe, are you here? Oh, it's almost downstairs? Okay, we'll get down right away. Saying this, Grandpa Song was already on the phone, and it seemed that Teacher Dajiang was about to arrive.
Grandpa Song hung up the phone and said, "Let's go, let's go, Dajiang's car is almost downstairs." Then he hurriedly packed up his translation and Qin Ge's "The Little Prince" and put them in a big box.
"Oh, Dae is almost downstairs, let's go, have you brought all the things you should bring?" Grandma Zhang stood up from the sofa and asked.
"Don't worry, I've brought everything I should have brought with me, and it's all in the box." Grandpa Song said.
"Did you bring the tip of the hair?" Grandma Zhang asked again.
"Bring, bringing." Grandpa Song replied a little impatiently.
"Okay, let's go, I can finally go see my eldest grandson." The thought of seeing her grandson soon, the wrinkles on Grandma Zhang's face seemed to smile.
"Haha, after a lifetime of studying Western culture, this time I can finally go to see the Arc de Triomphe, the Hofburg Palace, and St. Mark's Basilica; Check out the Louvre's Three Jewels, Mona Lisa's Smile, Venus and Victory. Grandpa Song also said happily.
"Grandpa Song, let me help you carry the box." Qin Ge saw that Grandpa Song was about to carry a big box, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Okay, you can mention it." When Grandpa Song heard this, he gave the big box to Qin Ge.
Next, the three of them took the elevator downstairs, and Qin Ge also met Teacher Zhang Dajiang smoothly.
After a period of greetings, Mr. Zhang Dajiang drove Grandma Zhang and Grandpa Song away.
And Qin Ge naturally went back to his rental house to pack up his things, and then prepared to move over.
……
Taking out the key from his pocket and opening the door, Qin Ge really looked at his new home for the first time.
The new home is very clean and tastefully decorated, with a medieval Western European exterior and a classical Chinese atmosphere on the inside.
Bamboo leaf lamps, mahogany chairs, marble-faced lion's claw round table. The house is not luxurious, and it shows elegant taste from the individual layout, which is very elegant. The interior can be seen everywhere plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, the walls are frosted blue, plain and cold tones, people are in it with a noble and elegant feeling.
Qin Ge likes this atmosphere here very much, it is very suitable for creation, and his room also has a big floor-to-ceiling window, he likes the feeling of sunlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling window in the room and he sits on the ground reading a book, everything is too perfect.
And downstairs is Wenfeng Garden, the physical exercise facilities are perfect, and the future exercise is also very convenient.
"Whew, that's great." Qin Ge put his bag on the ground and collapsed on the sofa a little tired.
He was really tired yesterday and today, so he fell asleep when he collapsed on the couch.
