Actually, if you want to talk about cousins, in terms of blood relationship, she is not really a cousin, but an orphan girl who is five years older than herself adopted by her aunt in China.

Because the aunt has lived alone in China for many years, and most of her relatives live in the countryside, this daughter who was brought back from the welfare home has always played the role of a relative and a nanny......

At six o'clock, my cousin was about to get off work, so several people met and discussed, and decided that my cousin would accompany me to see my aunt's house.

Speaking of which, Jiang Qi's aunt is still a well-known woman in the local area, because she married a Canadian Chinese when she was young, her only daughter went to Canada to study with her husband who was doing business in Canada when she was in junior high school, leaving her to live alone in China.

Originally, she didn't have a long time in China, but now her goddaughter is married, and her daughter has graduated from college, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage, so the whole family discussed, and the family simply settled in the past.

However, after settling down, the old couple felt that their roots were still in their hometown, so they discussed it, and when they were old, the business was no longer done, or they had to return to China...... Therefore, the house in China still has to stay, however, it is not the same thing that the house is always empty, after a long time, the furniture or something will eventually age, if there is another competent person to take care of it. That's when my aunt came up with the idea of renting out the house......

"Oh, this is it, remember this community, Peony Garden, this is the latest in all the old communities."

Since my godmother's nephew was the middleman, my cousin walked in front excitedly, leading the way while constantly introducing the walking route, what buildings are nearby, and so on.

Before meeting Jiang Qi and the two of them, she had already said hello to her godmother, saying that Jiang Qi would bring a friend to come to see the house and ask her to prepare a little.

Getting this news, Jiang Qi's aunt was of course happy, especially when she heard that the person who wanted to rent a house was still a young female teacher, she immediately excitedly asked her cousin to try to keep people anyway, even if it was less rent.

"Oh, that's it, I remember passing by in the afternoon......"

Chen Yalu recalled the route she had taken in the afternoon, and felt that the route that her cousin had taken just now was not unfamiliar, especially the intersection where there were banks and supermarkets just now, and she clearly remembered that she had seen a house in the community on the other side.

In fact, the houses in this area, in general, she is quite satisfied, but the price of these houses is still a little more than she expected, even if it is a small one-bedroom, it is about 134 thousand.

The surrounding environment is good, and the public facilities are relatively perfect, but will Jiang Qi's acquaintance's house be cheaper?

Chen Yalu's heart was a little apprehensive.

To say that the location of the house is really good, from the widest trunk road in, just a turn did not pass twenty or thirty meters, the second building of the front community is, not only in the middle of the quiet, banks, supermarkets, vegetable markets, etc., and the bus line is also very convenient.

"Uh, Jiang Qi, it turns out that your aunt also lives here, I said why is this community more and more familiar, but now I suddenly remember, Jingya seems to live in Building 4 of this community?"

Chen Yalu looked all the way, and before entering the gate of the community, she suddenly slapped her head and suddenly remembered someone.

"Jingya?"

When my cousin and Jiang Qi heard this unfamiliar name, they were stunned at the same time.

"Hey, yes. Uh, I almost forgot, that girl you don't know, she's a graduate student of mine......"

Chen Yalu thought of this name, and subconsciously wanted to say more, but when she saw that neither of them was interested in this name, she stopped the topic.

"Mom, are you there, I took Jiang Qi and her friends to see the house."

My cousin walked up to the fourth floor with two people, pressed the doorbell of a rather well-decorated room, and shouted softly for fear that no one would hear.

"Oh, Jiang Qi is here! Come in! ”

Two or three seconds later, a woman in her forties, wearing a white apron, opened the door and greeted her.

It can be seen that this woman is very well maintained, she is dozens of years old and still dressed very fashionably: her hair is in a high bun, her skin is fair, she wears some light makeup, and she can't even see obvious wrinkles on her face.

"Oh, you just want Miss Chen, who wants housing, tsk, it's so beautiful, it looks a few years older than our Xiaoqi, and they are all graduate students...... Come in, you're all in, I'm sorry, I'm cooking. ”

The aunt opened the door and politely let the three people in, glanced at Jiang Qi again, smiled and nodded, feeling a little familiar.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Jiang Qi's counselor, my name is Chen Yalu, I want to move outside the school due to some personal matters, and I heard that you want to rent a house here, so I want to come and have a look."

Chen Yalu said politely.

"Look, look, you just look - I've been missing my daughter so much lately, so I've wanted to go to Canada to live there for a while longer, but I have no one to take care of the house......"

Jiang Qi's aunt enthusiastically took Chen Yalu and others to visit the various rooms, and explained: "These furniture are just bought not long ago, and when I leave, I will pack up all the things, and you can use them...... If you're not used to using other people's stuff, I can also have someone move it all to the storage room next to it, so you'll have plenty of personal space......"

"Really? You're so polite. ”

Teacher Xiao Chen responded with a smile on his face.

In fact, as soon as she entered the door, she saw almost the same, and there was such a virtuous and clean hostess in the house, and it was not far from it.

Sure enough, after being taken around by Jiang Qi's aunt, Chen Yalu was very satisfied with the details of the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, furniture, household appliances, etc.

However, the house is good, and there is always a knot in her heart, that is, when she looks at other people's houses in the afternoon, the houses that are worse than this are about 15,000 yuan, and according to the market price, this condition is at least 2,000 yuan.

"Hehe, Auntie, we have also looked around the house here, and our teacher Xiao Chen seems to be more satisfied, but we don't know, how much does this rent cost? As a new trainee teacher, our salary is limited. ”

Jiang Qi noticed that in addition to praising the house from time to time, Teacher Chen smiled and nodded, and stopped talking several times, knowing that she was in her heart because of the difficulty of talking about the rent, so she quickly bared her teeth and smiled, and helped her ask what was in her heart.

"Haha, silly boy, how can Auntie ask you for more money, didn't my cousin also tell you, Auntie's original intention was just to find a reliable person to help take care of the house, didn't it? In this way, since it is our little chess teacher, if I say that I don't want money, you will definitely not feel at ease, then I will charge 500 yuan a month at a fixed price. ”

"Five hundred? Aunt! Are you telling the truth? ”

Hearing this number, Chen Yalu was shocked.

Five hundred? Complete furniture and appliances, with 100 square meters of finely decorated two bedrooms? It's a pie falling from the sky!

Chen Yalu screamed as a little woman, unable to believe her ears.

Seeing that the landlord aunt was so generous, she originally wanted to be polite again, mainly asking for an extra two hundred yuan, but Jiang Qi's aunt waved her hand: "Well, don't say it politely, as long as you can look at this house, it's easy to say, and it's not easy for you young people...... Since it is Jiang Qi's teacher, I can rest assured that the house will be handed over to you, if you really want to thank you, then it is enough to help me take care of this house more during our absence. ”

"Don't worry, auntie, I will take care of it like my own home when I move in in the future, and ensure that when you come back, it will be exactly the same as now."

Chen Yalu got this house, not to mention how happy she was, according to the usual practice, she immediately took out the money and had to pay the deposit, but was rejected by Jiang Qi's aunt again.

"Hehe, silly boy, I'm not a real estate agent, what do you need for a deposit! …… However, I am in a hurry this time, and my goddaughter has to complete the specific rental details and rent payment on my behalf...... But don't worry, by this weekend at the latest, you should be able to move in. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm here, and Teacher Xiao Chen is Jiang Qi's younger brother's classmate, so I guarantee that there is no problem!"

My cousin saw that her aunt and Chen Yalu were chattering endlessly, and she was worried that Teacher Xiao Chen would get bored, so she quickly patted her chest and interrupted them, promising that she would definitely do the follow-up things well.

Half an hour later, the three of them came out of her cousin's aunt's house, and Chen Yalu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

The thought of renting such a cheap big house so easily, I'm afraid I'll wake up laughing when I sleep tonight.

"Cousin, Jiang Qi, thank you today, otherwise, I'll treat you to a good meal?"

Out of the gate of the community, Chen Yalu was in a good mood and said generously.

"Uh, Teacher Xiao Chen, I don't think it's necessary today, what time do you think it's now?"

Jiang Qi shook his wrist, obviously feeling that it was not early.

"Oh my mom, it's going to be nine o'clock! Oh no, I've got to go, if you hadn't reminded me of this, I'd not even be able to catch the last train a little later! ”

Chen Yalu was also startled when she saw the time:

"Well, well, since time is so tight today, I'll say goodbye to you here, but remember to remind me that I owe you a big meal!"

"Ha, of course, don't forget, we are still studying together in the same school!"

Jiang Qi smiled, knowing that she would have many opportunities to get along with Chen Yalu in the future, and she didn't care about staying with her for a while now, so she smiled and waved goodbye to her.
