003 Renting a house

Tang Hai walked around the neighborhood and quickly settled on two newly built buildings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He went to the building closer to the school and found the door locked. When I asked the neighbor next to me, I learned that the landlord had gone out. I'm not coming back until tomorrow.

So, he went to ask for another building. This time, I met the landlord smoothly, an old lady in her sixties. Hearing that he wanted to rent a house, he babbled, "My house was newly built the year before last, and they are all independent small rooms, with eight rooms on each floor and two toilets. The conditions are the best here, I don't know how sought-after they are, now there are only two rooms left, if you come back tomorrow, you won't have to rent if you want to......"

As he spoke, he took Tang Haihai's stairs to the fourth floor and said, "Now there is only one room left on the fourth floor and the fifth floor, which one do you want?" ”

"Let's see." Tang Hai looked around.

After looking at the two rooms, Tang Hai was not very satisfied, it was too small, and after putting a bed and a desk, there was no space. But there is no way, these days, it is not so easy to find a rental room with a separate bathroom here.

A newly built house like this is pretty good, at least it's all separate rooms. There are many rental rooms nearby, all of which are originally large rooms, which are divided into several small rooms with wooden boards. When you sleep at night, you can hear it when you turn over next door. That's called an inconvenience.

The old lady didn't speak after seeing the house, and said, "Actually, the two rooms are about the same, but the fifth floor will be a little hotter, so you might as well rent the one on the fourth floor." ”

Tang Hai was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the stairs leading to the top, which should be the rooftop, and there was an iron door, which was open. Through that door, he saw a door, and couldn't help but wonder, "Is there a room up there?" ”

"You said above?" The old lady hesitated a little, and said, "There is indeed one, but it is ......."

Tang Hai didn't wait for her to finish, and asked her, "Can I go up and have a look?" ”

"Well, okay." The old lady thought about it and agreed.

After Tang Haihai went up, he saw that there was indeed a room on the rooftop, with an area of thirty or forty square meters. He turned to the old lady and said, "Can you go in and have a look?" “

"You can see it if you want." The old lady took out the key and opened the door.

Tang Hai saw that there was actually a separate bathroom inside, and he was immediately tempted and said, "Auntie, do you rent this room?" ”

The old lady hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me tell you, this room was built by my grandson, but after he lived there for a while last year, he couldn't stand it." It's okay in winter, but in summer, it's like a steamer. There are no people living at all. ”

Tang Hai knew that she was not lying, it was only morning, and when she opened the door, a wave of heat came to her face. If it's in the afternoon, after a day of sunbathing, isn't it like a sauna?

He walked in, and it was really hot and stuffy. No wonder the old lady's grandson doesn't want to live here. He looked at it, there was a bed, a desk, a chair, and a wardrobe, the furniture was very complete, but it had not been cleaned for a long time, and some dust had accumulated.

He wiped his sweat, left the room, and said, "Auntie, rent this room to me." ”

"Aren't you too hot?" The old lady obviously didn't expect him to want to rent it after he went in.

Tang Hai said, "I'm not afraid of the heat, and besides, I still have to go to class during the day, but at night, it's not so hot." ”

"This ......," the old lady still hesitated a little, "I'm afraid that my grandson will want to come and live here again when the weather is cold." ”

Tang Hai said sincerely, "I really like it here, so let's rent the room below you for five hundred yuan, and this one is bigger, I rent it for eight hundred, how about it?" ”

The old lady was tempted, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll rent it." ”

After paying the money, getting the key, and reading the water and electricity meters, the old lady went downstairs.

He rolled up his sleeves and began to clean, although he was sweating profusely from the heat, he was very happy. It is indeed a joy to be able to rent such a house.

These 800 yuan, of course, are not a month's rent, but a semester's. In this year, not to mention this kind of single room, even if it is a suite, the rent will not be too expensive. After all, everyone's income level is not high.

You know, the school dormitory is only 150 yuan a semester. According to the general market, the kind of small room with wooden partition is only two or three hundred, and the newly built independent small room he rents now costs five hundred.

800 yuan was rented for more than four months, and the average was less than 200 a month. He thinks it's a good deal. The room is more than 20 square meters, with a separate bathroom, and the entire rooftop is used as an activity venue. I believe that there will be no more places like this in the vicinity.

As for the problem of heat, it is not difficult for him to solve. In the past two months of the summer vacation, he has not been idle, and has been working hard to earn money.

As for the reason, it has to do with his dad.

His father was a more traditional person and thought that his son would have to be poor, so he was tragic.

From elementary school to junior high school, his father barely gave him pocket money. Fortunately, the New Year's money received during the New Year can be kept by yourself, and it will take a year to spend this money. If it weren't for his cousin Tang Jing to help him from time to time, he would only be more sad.

Even when I was in high school and lived on campus in the first semester. His father's food allowance was only 200 yuan a month. On average, it's less than seven yuan a day, which is just enough to eat.

If you really want to talk about it, his father's approach has played a role to a certain extent.

In elementary school, he didn't indulge in the arcade room because he didn't have the money.

By the time of middle school, when stand-alone games such as Fairy Sword and Red Alert became popular, he didn't play them because he didn't have any money.

When he reached high school, when online games such as Legend and Miracle swept the country, he still hadn't played it, also because he had no money.

Therefore, since he was reborn, in order to make his three years of high school better, he has been working hard to earn money throughout the summer.

The results are very good. At first, he wanted to go to the computer city to work, and he remembered that it was very profitable to help people assemble computers at this time.

It wasn't until he found out that a fellow who owned a nearby stationery store had an idle ice frying machine that he changed his mind. I borrowed the ice machine from my father, borrowed some money from my father, bought some tables and chairs in the second-hand market, and set up a stall to sell the ice fried.

Sold for a month, he was not particularly satisfied with the income. And the fried ice is generally sold at night and idle during the day. He pondered it again, and soon, he realized that milk tea didn't seem to be popular yet. With the mentality of giving it a try, I DIY a kind of milk tea and sell it during the day.

His second girlfriend opened a bubble tea shop and knows a lot about milk tea. The production of milk tea is not complicated, tea leaves are added with creamer and sugar. It's that pearls are more troublesome and take more time.

As a result, his DIY bubble tea was a huge hit as soon as it was launched. It's a pity that he only has one person, and his output is limited, only a few dozen cups a day.

Just when he was thinking about whether to let his parents do it together, a local tyrant friend he knew bought his formula for 30,000 yuan.

Bubble tea is actually not very technical. This local tyrant friend is willing to spend money, just because of their friendship. He really needed money, so he didn't excuse himself.

He paid 10,000 yuan to his parents, and the remaining 20,000 yuan plus the income from the stall was a total of 25,000, which was enough for his three years of high school.
