Chapter 06 Rent
With their respective fates, they left the Industry and Trade Building. I don't know if the farewell with Chen Ya will be the end of the vast sea of people, or the beginning of the fate reunion.
However, in the face of Chen Ya, a well-known article in the Book of Songs kept emerging in Ding Li's heart-Pu Jia:
"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.
Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long. Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water.
The leaves are green, and the white dew is not dawning. The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae.
Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and climbing. Tracing from it, it is like being in the water.
The leaves are picked, and the white dew is not over. The so-called Yi people are in the water.
Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and right. Tracing from it, it is like being in the water. ”
That insurmountable gap in reality made Ding Li feel a little suffocated. The naked sense of reality makes a heart of struggle fragile.
Ding Li dragged his exhaustion back to his rental house, in Shenzhen, generally speaking, it is divided into inside and outside the Guan. The so-called Guannai basically refers to some of the original old urban areas, that is, the most prosperous downtown area in Shenzhen, and the outside of the Guanxi is more of a newly developed area.
However, many migrant workers work in urban areas, but they rent houses outside the Guan. Because the price of rented houses outside the customs is relatively cheap, it is even more favored by migrant workers. It is also the best choice for this group of young people who are building a deep city with both hands.
The monthly rent for a single room outside the customs is 500 to 1,000 yuan. At least one thousand and five more in urban areas.
Ding Li, a newcomer to college, naturally chooses a rental house outside the Guanwai, a 500 rental house, which is his whole world.
However, when I returned to the gate of the rental house today, I was blocked by "a mountain" to go upstairs. Ding Li stiffened his head, lowered his head, and pretended to be casually ready to enter the corridor from the side of the "mountain".
However, he was stopped by a lion's roar, "Ding Li, you stop for the old lady!" ”
Ding Li grinned, showed a little embarrassment, and smiled at the "mountain" in front of him, the obese landlady, and said, "Hello, landlady!" ”
"What a fart, let me ask you, when will you pay the rent?" The landlady did not weaken her fierce posture because of Ding Li's smile, and her face was gloomy.
"Hehe, I'm really sorry, I'm new to Shenzhen, I'm not familiar with the place, and I'm still looking for a job and have no financial resources for the time being. However, I will soon have a job, please give me a few days, just ......a few days," Ding Li pulled down his face and begged the landlady.
"No, you have to pay last month's rent today, otherwise, uh-huh, fuck off!" The landlady did not pity Ding Li's experience at all, and did not show any affection.
Ding Li touched his pocket, and there was only one hundred yuan left in the crumple, and the rent was five hundred yuan. Even if it is given to the landlady, it is not enough for last month's rent. I've been looking for a job these days, and although the landlady has urged me three or five times, Ding Li is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he has been delaying it again and again.
Who has the money and wants to be behind in arrears of rent! He really has no money, and he doesn't have the face to call his parents for help, and his parents are smashing pots and selling iron, pulling to finish college for himself, and he is already in debt. When he came out to work, he originally planned to earn money for his parents to enjoy the blessings, but who would have thought that he would not even be able to find a job when he came to Shenzhen for a month or two.
Even if you starve to death on the streets, you can't call your parents anymore and ask for money. He no longer had the face to ask his parents, and after failing to meet twenty interviews, he thought of dying a hundred. So, I went to buy sleeping pills, and I originally planned to end my life here.
But who knows, God gave another chance to live again. Even so, it still can't relieve him of the cruel situation he is facing in the economic crisis and facing reality.
People are based on the world, eating, wearing, living and traveling. It seems simple, but in fact, facing firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, it is a life problem.
Most of the people who can solve this difficult problem well are people who can climb to the top of life. And when he was in such a predicament, Ding Li was infinitely emotional, "useless is a scholar".
"Landlord, I really don't have any money, it's not that I deliberately want to be behind on rent. Please give me a few days, I will definitely find a way to give it to you! The person had to bow his head under the eaves, and Ding Li begged the landlady again.
It should be said that this is the first time that Ding Li has begged for someone in such a low voice. He was born in a poor family, his parents were honest farmers, his parents had a son and a daughter, he was the eldest son, and he had a younger sister. Since he was a child, he has a strong sense of self-esteem, even if he is coldly spoken of, he will never be soft, let alone begging others.
Originally, his family was not well-off, but in the early years, his sister suffered from a serious illness and suffered from amnesia, which put their family in crisis. Dad traveled from east to west and borrowed money from relatives and friends to get out of that predicament.
Fortunately, he and his sister are very competitive, and they have been the pride of their parents since they were children. Their results are always impressive, and every time they hand over the first-place report card to their parents, they always show a smile of relief.
Because of this, both Ding Li and Ding Li's sister Ding Lin were admitted to the university and were able to study smoothly. became the only two college students in their village, Ding Li graduated from college, and his sister Ding Lin is still in college.
Earlier, my parents still hoped that Ding Li would graduate and work and be able to share a little burden. can give her sister Ding Lin a little living expenses. This is also Ding Li's hope all along. He was able to take care of his sister financially, so the burden on his parents was much less.
Like many dream-seeking youths, he stayed away from his homeland and set foot on the hot land of gold panning-Shenshi. And he is stubborn, but he is bent on finding a job as a personnel specialist. In this way, twenty companies hit a wall in a row, and he was already disheartened.
Reality is like a sharp knife, digging deep into his heart, but the blood is so numb that he doesn't know the pain.
The landlady roared and roared: "Don't daydream, the old lady sues you, the old lady is in business, and she has to live, not charity." No money, uh-huh, a hillbilly like you, get out of here before it's too late! ”
In the face of such a difficult and arrogant landlady, imagine who doesn't have a bottom and peak? It's okay to be so aggressive, and he is also disrespectful, repeatedly challenging his psychological bottom line.
Ding Li was furious, couldn't bear it anymore, clenched his fists, took a step closer, glared angrily, and shouted angrily at the landlady: "Dead fat woman, clean your mouth for Lao Tzu." Soldiers can be killed, don't push me into a hurry, if you push me into a hurry. It's a big deal, I'll burn your broken house to ashes with a fire. ”
"You...... You...... What do you want to do? The landlady never expected Ding Li to come to this trick, of course, this is not Ding Li's trick to scare the landlady. Instead, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and he was extremely resentful.
After all, this landlady is not a businessman, she is a complete Shenzhen native. Relying on the occupation of land, he took advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up to warm the Shenzhen market earlier, so that the sparrow could turn into a phoenix and become a charter woman who could get rich by collecting rent.
If you want to talk about cultural cultivation, there is not much at all. Not to mention any measure of courage, seeing Ding Li angry, it didn't seem like he was joking at all. The landlady beat a drum in her heart, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "Little brother, don't get excited, don't get excited, there is something to say, there is something to say......"
Ding Li accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't want to make a fuss, after all, it was good to be able to ease down and let him have a place to live, in case the landlady didn't let him live. I really won't burn down her house, and I have to get out of here, it's better to endure humiliation than to sleep on the street.
So, he sighed: "I don't want to do this either, listen, I will give you a lot of money if you owe any amount of rent." But please don't insult me with such arrogant words for three days, otherwise, I will do what I say. ”
"You...... Don't do anything stupid, you're still so young, and you still have a great future......" The landlady's tone softened a lot. After all, she didn't know if he really wanted to push Ding Li into a hurry, and whether he would burn down her house. If she really burned down her precious house, the loss would not be small. Of course, she couldn't annoy Ding Li and cut off her financial route.
