Li Guangzhi stood on the road outside the Takashima Pingtuandi Community, looking at the huge community in front of him, which was composed of almost 30 residential buildings with more than 10 floors, and was quite surprised.

When Sun Dazhi introduced the concept of group house to him before, he automatically substituted the low-rent housing in China in the 21st century. In his mind, the government should build a residential area for low-income families, preferably like the Tin Shui Wai housing estate in Hong Kong.

Unexpectedly, when he saw it on the ground, it was really unexpected. Although the residential buildings here are nearly 20 years old, they don't look old. The gray-white façade even has a bright feeling when it is illuminated by the sun.

There is a wide space between the buildings, and there are parking lots, small parks, ponds and other leisure facilities in between. The design of the residential buildings is similar to that of Japanese civilian apartments, which is common in Japanese dramas, with a long open-air corridor running through the entire floor on each floor, and the corridors are flanked by fire emergency stairs.

It's a cloudy day in Tokyo in October, and it's 3 p.m. when the sun is at its best. Standing on the road outside the community, you can see that the corridor railings of almost all residential buildings are covered with all kinds of bedding and bed sheets, and on some floors, you can see people holding sticks and other utensils to beat the drying bedding. This kind of scene with a very lively atmosphere made Li Guangzhi feel quite cordial when he saw it.

Entering the community, there are ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the road. Although October is not yet late autumn, the leaves on the trees are already half yellow. Looking up, the brilliant golden yellow swaying in the breeze makes people feel a lively vitality in this autumn day.

"The environment here is really suitable for the home." When passing by the swimming pool in a community, Li Guangzhi sighed sincerely.

"Hehe, Guangzhi, don't be in a hurry to boast first, if you want to say that it is suitable for living, there will be better ones in the future." Sun Dazhi smiled on the side and said:

"This is one of the best Danchi communities in Tokyo with the best environment and the most complete supporting facilities. When it was first built in the early '70s, it was said that many young couples in downtown Tokyo were rushing to buy a house here. ”

"In the early '70s, it was probably similar to the situation in our country in the 80s. At that time, many people who lived in small bungalows in the city were looking forward to living upstairs. Li Guangzhi said.

"The people in Japan are looking forward to living in buildings, and that must have been in the 50s and 60s. A colleague of mine and his father used to change the small courtyard in Minato Ward to a high-rise apartment in Edogawa Ward, and now my colleague complains all day long. Sun Dazhi said with a grin.

"In the 70s, this area was booming because the government wanted to develop the northern part of Tokyo. Not only did Takashimadaira have a subway here, but he was also willing to invest money in it when building a house. You will know when you look at the house later, the layout and quality of this house are absolutely first-class 20 years ago. ”

Sun Dazhi is worthy of being a staff member in the real estate industry, this kind of old news from decades ago comes out of his mouth, and it seems that he has done a lot of research on the real estate industry.

The three of them chatted casually while walking along the boulevard in the community, and soon arrived at the center of the community.

To Li Guangzhi's surprise, the center of this community is actually a commercial district.

In this small commercial area, which is called "Central Shopping Street", shops are located on the first and second floors of residential buildings. Li Guangzhi took a casual look and found that there were all kinds of stores here, from the largest supermarket chain of the Tobu Group to the smallest grocery store that only sold needles and threads.

Sun Dazhi introduced on the side: "See? That's the most convenient place to stay here. With this street, you don't have to go out of the community gate to buy anything in your daily life, including groceries or something. Also, the prices for shopping here are much cheaper than in downtown Tokyo. ”

Li Guangzhi and the others, under the leadership of Sun Dazhi, walked around the business district. When he saw that in addition to selling meat and aquatic products, selling furniture and electrical appliances, there was actually a Japanese-style soup pool decorated in the Showa style, Li Guangzhi was completely convinced.

It's no wonder that otaku in Japan became popular later. Nima lives in this kind of place, and it's a shame not to stay here

"Dazhi, this house is very good, 30,000 yuan a month is really a bargain."

Li Guangzhi stood at the entrance, looked at the house introduced by Sun Dazhi, and said with satisfaction.

This is a small suite of 1LDK, according to the domestic parlance, it is a one-bedroom living room with a kitchen and bathroom.

The structure of the house is a simple straight type, from the entrance, through a short porch is the living room, and beyond the living room, there is the bedroom separated by a sliding door. The kitchen and bathroom are located on both sides of the porch.

The house was cleaned and there was hardly any dust visible on the wooden floors. Sun Dazhi took the lead in taking off his shoes and led Li Guangzhi and the two into the living room.

The living room is very small, about 6 or 7 square meters. But now the furniture is almost empty, and only a lonely table remains, which makes the space seem larger.

"In a 1LDK house like Little Japan, the living room can basically be used as a dining room. There is also a dining table left in this living room, and you can go back and get two chairs to match. ”

Sun Dazhi explained to Li Guangzhi as he opened the sliding door of the bedroom.

"I left this bed in the bedroom with the guy who lived in front of me, a double bed, just enough for you to sleep."

In this era, even in Japan, the culture of rotten women had not yet developed. It seems to be a common thing for two men to sleep in the same bed.

Li Guangzhi followed Sun Dazhi into the bedroom and looked left and right.

The floor of the bedroom is also covered with wooden floors, and the area is slightly larger than the living room. In addition to a double bed against the wall, there is also a writing desk under the window. There was no wardrobe in the room, Li Guangzhi observed that the empty wall on the left hand side of the door was actually a sliding closet, which should be used as a wardrobe.

Li Guangzhi looked at the sliding doors of the two closets, and a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

If the door were opened, would there be a robot cat lying inside, or would there be a pale Toshio Saeki squatting?

Just thinking about it, Sun Dazhi opened the closet door with a swipe in front of him.

"Hiroshi, you see, this is a closet, which can be used to store clothes and bedding or something. Ooh! This closet is really big enough to sleep in it. ”

Li Guangzhi looked at the empty closet and couldn't help but smile to himself. How can the impression of Japan in my mind be all these unreliable contents?

Sun Dazhi walked around the bedroom, turned back to Li Guangzhi and said:

"There's still a stove and a kang table in the bedroom, so we'll go downstairs and find one later. This thing must be had, or it will be difficult in winter. ”

He paused, then continued, "If you cook for yourself, you will have to prepare a set of pots and pans in the kitchen. Refrigerators and washing machines were already available in the house, and if there was a TV, there were second-hand ones sold in the shopping street, so they were not expensive. ”

Li Guangzhi continued: "I'll talk about TV or something later, but we'll prepare the kitchen utensils later, and buy some food by the way." Dazhi, stay here for dinner at night, I'll show you a hand and get a few Chinese dishes to try. ”

In his previous life, Li Guangzhi was not very busy working in state-owned enterprises, and he didn't have any other hobbies.

Sun Dazhi said happily: "Yo! Hiroshi, you really know how to cook, so I'm really going to stay and try it. It's been a long time since I've eaten authentic Chinese food here. ”

"Huh! Brother Guangzhi, you used to know how to cook? Why didn't you ever do it in Sapporo before? Hearing the chatter about food, Gao Dali also hurriedly called in.

"Go, go! In the past, in Sapporo, we had nothing to do with barbecue and teppanyaki, or it was just a ramen street. Do you still need me to cook? ”

Li Guangzhi pushed Gao Dali to the dissatisfied face in front of him, and continued: "Besides, now that we haven't just arrived in Tokyo and haven't made any money, of course we have to save a little bit to cook by ourselves, is it still the same as before?" Moreover, with the amount of food we eat, if we go to the restaurant every day, we will have to go bankrupt in less than a month! ”

Speaking of this, he turned to Sun Dazhi again and said, "By the way, Dazhi, I just wanted to ask you." Are you familiar with Tokyo, do you know where to get a better job? Tired, hard work can be done. ”

Sun Dazhi's expression was a little strange when he heard this, and he hesitated for a while before he hesitated: "It turns out that Guangzhi and Dali are not gangs?" I thought you were really planning to go to Kabukicho Street to join the Fukuchei Gang. ”

He paused, and then said, "Originally, I was going to persuade you later. In fact, the orphaned descendants in Tokyo have their own gang, called Nu Luo Quan, and there are hundreds of members. I thought, if you really plan to join the Fuqing Gang, you might as well join our crippled own gang. After all, I heard that the Fuqing Gang still rejects people from other provinces very badly. ”

When Li Guangzhi heard Sun Dazhi's words, he was a little moved in his heart. Although this guy has just met, he really thinks about himself.

He said solemnly: "Brother Dazhi, although Dali and I used to be gangsters in Sapporo, we were actually low-level gangsters with no future. I came to Tokyo twice because I wanted to go the other way. I said that I was eating rice in Kabukicho Street, and that was to bluff your bald store manager. Hehe, after all, Fuqing's accomplices are famous, and it's still good to use them to scare people. ”

He lit a cigarette for himself, gave one to each of Dazhi, took two puffs and continued: "Although Dali and I have no education, it is still no problem for me to do individual work. I'm going to earn money by working part-time for two years first, and I'll see if there's another way to save a little bit of money. As for the gangs, I'm sure I won't mix them up anymore. In Japan, Chinese gangs have no future, after all, this is people's territory. ”

Sun Dazhi patted Li Guangzhi on the shoulder and said happily: "Guangzhi, your idea is right!" It is indeed difficult for us orphaned descendants to enter the mainstream of Japanese society, but it is certainly not the right way to join a gang on our own, at most, it is just a little less bullying on the surface. ”

He waved his hands a little excitedly and said: "We orphaned descendants were either naturalized when we came, and the last ones have all obtained permanent resident status, and they are all officially recognized residents by the Japanese government, so why can't we mix in the mainstream society?!" ”

He grabbed Li Guangzhi and said, "Go!" Let's go buy everything we need to buy first, get some beer and come back, and talk about your craft in the evening. Don't worry about part-time jobs, I'll write you an address later. Not far north of here, there is a meat processing factory, where the cold storage recruits porters all year round. The work was very hard, but the time was high, as long as you could endure hardships, you would definitely be able to earn money by working there. ”
