Chapter 192: Foreshadowing
"Husband, I don't think this house is good."
Xiao Qian carried a small white bag, stood on the balcony of the room, stretched out her hand and pointed to a small river not far away, frowning, "You see that the river is black, garbage is thrown everywhere, in summer, there will definitely be a lot of mosquitoes, and this is the junction of urban and rural areas, and the traffic is not convenient." ”
Hou Zhengdong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Xiaoqian to be so dissatisfied with this house, when he just came in, he obviously saw her and smiled, why did he change his mind so quickly?
"Sister, it hasn't rained for half a year, as long as the rainy season arrives, a few rains will come down, and the river will soon become clear and transparent, and the rent of this house is not expensive, not to mention, don't pay the property management fee......"
A young man with a small flat head had a wry smile on his face, and was about to continue complaining.
"Okay, don't talk about those useless ones, I'll just ask, can the rent be cheaper by 100 yuan, if not, we'll change it, anyway, it's not difficult to rent a house at this time."
Xiao Qian turned around impatiently, waved her right hand, but a sly smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, she just glanced at the young little flat head, and the hesitant expression on his face indicated that this condition would definitely be accepted.
Hou Zhengdong suddenly realized, it turned out that Xiaoqian, the girl, said a lot of bad things about this house, just to let the landlord reduce the rent by 100 yuan.
"Okay, let's just pay you a hundred yuan, sister, to be honest, this is already the cheapest rent in recent years, with furniture, water and electricity, and network cables."
Xiao Pingtou smiled helplessly, "However, brother and sister, we can say in advance that the rent will be paid for half a year at one time, and in addition, you will have to pay the Internet fee yourself." ”
Xiao Qian turned her head and smiled, and quickly made a victory gesture to Hou Zhengdong to Hou Zhengdong.
The landlord is named Fang Xiaolei, a native of Jiangdong Town, Jindong District, one of the two districts under the jurisdiction of Jinhua City, Hou Zhengdong and the two of them are looking at the house of his family's industry, the house is located in the urban-rural junction of Dongjiang Town, it is a four-story building, and they are looking at the house on the third floor at the moment.
The house is a two-bedroom layout, with all kinds of household appliances, and even the pots and pans for cooking in the kitchen are fully prepared, and you can move in with your bag.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I wish you a happy life."
Fang Xiaolei grinned, and flicked the fingers of his right hand on the banknote, "By the way, brother-in-law, you go down with me to get new sheets and quilt covers to change, and by the way, go down to the warehouse with me to get two more quilts out, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it looks like it's going to snow heavily." ”
"Xiaoqian, you clean up the house, I'll go down."
Hou Zhengdong nodded, said hello to Xiaoqian, and followed Fang Xiaolei out of the door, "Fang Xiaolei, are there any factories in the town that recruit workers, and how is the salary?" ”
"It's a misfortune that you're here, most of the factories are closed now." Fang Xiaolei took the cigarette in Hou Zhengdong's hand and lit it and took a puff, "The recruitment tide will not come until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and most factories are piecework wages. ”
His voice paused, and he picked up the rental contract in his hand and glanced at it, "Hou Jie, I'm sure you can't stand that kind of work, you only sleep five hours a day, rest for an hour at noon mealtime, and the rest of the time is working, working, non-stop, and the air is full of pungent smells." ”
A smile slowly appeared on his face, "I don't believe you can hold on." ”
"Oh, so what's your good job description?" Hou Zhengdong was stunned when he heard this, and slowly shook his head, it is obviously impossible for him to really find a factory to work, a young couple came out to work and make money, if they really live in the factory for seventeen or eighteen hours a day, where is the opportunity to catch up with Sha Kun?
The matter of looking for a job is just a casual mention, otherwise, it is obviously very abnormal for a young couple who come out to work to find a job and not care about finding a job to make money.
"If there were an easy and lucrative job, I would like to do it, and I wouldn't have to live on this rent." Fang Xiaolei smiled, "Of course, no one can say for sure that this kind of thing is getting rich, just like a buddy of mine, a few days ago I went to a field in Taizhou to play a few cards, and won more than five million back, it is said that when the luck is the best, five cards are straight flushes." ”
"So, it's a matter of luck to get rich."
"I never thought that it would be enough to make some money to go home and repair the house, and then have money to get married."
Hou Zhengdong smiled, put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff, now that he came to Zhejiang by mistake, naturally he can't just get here and go to Su Province, otherwise, if he enters Sha Kun's side in the future, it will be a big trouble if he is suspicious.
Therefore, Hou Zhengdong planned to stay with Jinhua for a while, and told Fang Xiaolei early that he and Xiaoqian came out to work to earn money to repair the house and get married, laying the groundwork for Xiaoqian's departure, and he didn't want to involve Xiaoqian in this case.
"Don't worry, Hou Jie, it's not difficult for us to make this little money in Jinhua."
Fang Xiaolei smiled, "Did you go back after you earned enough money for marriage?" ”
"I don't know, let's see what Xiaoqian means."
Hou Zhengdong flicked the cigarette ash and followed behind Fang Xiaolei, the two chatted for a while, and Hou Zhengdong knew that this kid still had a second uncle on the ship as a seaman.
Originally, Fang Xiaolei's neighborhood was rural, and with the development of economic construction in recent years, Jinhua's enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, followed by urban expansion.
"Hou Jie, if the quilt is not enough, come to me to get it."
Fang Xiaolei found two sets of sheets and quilts from the warehouse, and two thick quilts and handed them to Hou Zhengdong, and gave him general directions such as supermarkets and vegetable markets, and hurried out.
When Hou Zhengdong returned home with a full load, Xiaoqian had already cleaned up the house, in fact, the house didn't need to be cleaned up, just cleaned the room, removed the used sheets and quilt covers, and so on.
"Xiaoqian, let's go out to eat after we clean up, and cook by ourselves tomorrow."
Hou Zhengdong threw the things in his hand on the big bed in the master bedroom, "I went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and came back, just now Fang Xiaolei has already told me about the place." ”
"Okay, you go and get some rest, I'll make the bed."
Xiao Qian's gaze swept over the messy bed, there were still some stains left on the sheets, obviously left over from doing that, Hou Zhengdong shook his head, "Xiao Qian, no need, I'll just make the bed on my side myself." ”
With that, he picked up the futon and walked to the next room.
Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, looking at Hou Zhengdong's upright back, with a complicated look in her big eyes.
