Chapter 45: The Matter of the House
In the afternoon, Ren Jingtian came to the museum to find Yu Lifei again. Although Yu Lifei was still working, Wu Zhenwei did not feel embarrassed, nor did he dare to embarrass him. Ren Jingtian is the deputy director of the police station, and Li Changwu doesn't dare to say anything in front of him, besides, he's a small security captain?
"I called the landlord and brought you the money, and I dug out my ID card from your bag. Let's go, let's go and see the house together. If you're satisfied, you'll be able to move into your new home in the afternoon. Ren Jingtian said that Yu Lifei let him be the master of everything, and he was very pleased with this trust. But buying a house is a major event in life after all, he can only give Yu Lifei some references and suggestions, and the last person to make the decision must be Yu Lifei.
"Brother Ren, for my sake, I've bothered you." Yu Lifei feels that he is very lucky to be able to have friends like Ren Jingtian and Xia Riming who really care about him. There are also elders like Wu Wengu and Ren Zhiwei, if it weren't for them, even if they took the best antiques, I am afraid they would not be able to sell them at a good price.
"It's okay, I'm a small policeman, just to run errands for people. Instead of running errands for others, it is better to run errands for you. Ren Jingtian said with a smile, Yu Lifei is a temporary worker here, but he arranged for himself to do things, if he says this, I'm afraid no one will believe it. But he regards Yu Lifei as a true friend, even if it is to arrange something that is hard and tiring, he is willing to do it.
"Brother Ren, if you say that, then I will be even more upset." Yu Lifei hurriedly said, yes, he is just a temporary security guard, but for things outside of work, he actually asked Ren Jingtian to help. This kind of treatment is at least at the level of the head of the police station or above.
"I'm kidding you, as long as I can do it, you can always ask." Ren Jingtian smiled and patted Yu Lifei's shoulder, thinking of the afternoon's business, he said again: "The owner of this house is surnamed Cao, and this house turned out to be the welfare housing of the unit. His father used to live here, and after the old man died last year, he has been renting it out. My son is going to college this year, so I want to sell it. ”
"Whatever the reason, as long as there are no other disputes." Yu Lifei said that Ren Jingtian found him a house, and there is absolutely no need to worry about this. He doesn't care about the quality of the house, as well as the decoration inside, as long as he can live in it. But I'm afraid of causing other disputes, if after moving in, someone comes to find trouble at both ends of three days, then don't you die of depression?
"You can rest assured of that." Ren Jingtian said with a smile that he couldn't guarantee other aspects, but finding out the details of others was his specialty.
Walking out of the main gate, it took less than five minutes to arrive at the location of the house. The door was not closed, the owner surnamed Cao was already waiting in the room, and when Yu Lifei and the others entered, they were sitting there in a trance. Maybe it's because the house is going to change hands soon, and there is a sense of nostalgia. Lao Cao is in his early forties, a little bald, and his figure is also a little fat.
"Lao Cao, this is my friend Yu Lifei, who wants to buy a house." After Ren Jingtian entered, he introduced with a smile.
"Hello, please take a look, this house used to be lived here by my dad, and after he passed away last year, it was rented out." When Lao Cao talked about this, he was still a little sad. When the old man was there, he may not feel anything, but now when he sees things and thinks about people, he always feels that his nose is sour.
This is a standard two-bedroom house. As soon as you enter the door, there is a small living room, with a set of wooden sofas and a 21-inch color TV. There is a small Xiaoice box on the left, which should be some years old. There is also a small square wooden table next to it, with two stools tucked underneath.
To the south on the right are two rooms, the inner one with a lock and the one on the outside open. Inside, there is a bed, a table, and a bookcase. There are also quite a few books in the bookcase, and some small gadgets. There is also a balcony outside, with a few boxes of flowers and plants, probably no one takes care of them, and it feels a little broken. On the east wall of the living room, there is also a small storage room, which also has a lot of miscellaneous items, mainly some books and some old clothes.
To the north of the living room is the kitchen, which is not big, but sufficient. To the left of the kitchen is the bathroom, which houses an old two-cylinder washing machine. Overall, the house is not big, but it is sufficient. Especially for people like Lifei who have been renting outside for a long time and even often sleeping in collective dormitories, this place seems very warm.
"Lao Cao, can you open this room and take a look?" Yu Lifei pointed to the locked door and asked.
"This room has been rented out, if you want to live alone, you can let her go." Lao Cao said.
"Lao Cao, why didn't you tell me about this before?" Ren Jingtian frowned.
"Didn't I think I'd let her go as soon as the house was sold? Besides, if Mr. Yu is the only one who lives here, he can also collect rent from her. Lao Cao said, if you drive people away now, if Yu Lifei doesn't buy this house, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket for nothing?
"Well, if we buy it, then please take care of this matter." Ren Jingtian said, he was still thinking that when he had nothing to do in the future, he could come here to rest for a while.
Yu Lifei also felt that it was inconvenient for other people in the house, and it would be very annoying if he was suddenly disturbed when he was cultivating.
"No problem, anyway, it's easy for a girl to find a place to live." Lao Cao nodded, originally both rooms of this house were rented out, but the master bedroom had just moved out a few days ago, he really wanted to talk about it, how could he rent half of the rented house?
"Wait, Lao Cao, is it a girl? Pretty, isn't it? Ren Jingtian's eyes lit up and he said suddenly.
"Ren, she has a temporary residence permit, you go back to the office to check, don't you know the way? But according to my aesthetics, it's still good, and I'm still single. Lao Cao said with a smile.
"That's right, Lifei, I think this matter is postponed, I don't know if you buy a house, and by the way, solve your girlfriend's matter." Ren Jingtian said with a smile.
"Brother Ren, I haven't thought about this for the time being, and I like to live alone." Yu Lifei shook his head, he has only been at work for a few days? If it weren't for picking up a leak, I'm afraid I would still have to send someone under the fence, what qualifications do you have to talk about girlfriends? Moreover, he bought this house mainly to use it to cultivate Gu Yugong, which was more convenient for one person.
"It's not normal for you to like to live alone as a young man in your early twenties. No, I'll be the Lord for you. Lao Cao, if we really buy this house, you wait for me to inform you then, I think people can, let her continue to rent here, if not, please let her leave. Ren Jingtian's own marriage has not been resolved, but he is worried about Lifei's lifelong event.
"Brother Ren......" Yu Lifei is in a hurry, he is easy to get along with the same sex, but with girls, he doesn't know how to communicate with Lu Dao.
"I'll make the decision for you." Ren Jingtian didn't give Yu Lifei a chance to speak, so he let Yu Lifei come, so he had to decide whether to buy this house or not.
Yu Lifei couldn't help it, he hadn't actually looked at the house, he had already decided to buy it. The location is very close to the museum, no matter what's in the house, it's better than where you used to live, right? For him, the quality of the house and the decoration are not important, as long as the distance is right, it is enough.
Yu Lifei walked to the balcony and silently carried the ancient jade gong, obviously feeling that the museum had an inexplicable attraction to him. But Yu Lifei suddenly found that right at his feet, there seemed to be an attraction that made him feel good.
"Mr. Yu, how about it, the air here is fresh and quiet, it is indeed a good place to live at home." Lao Cao saw Yu Lifei standing in the sun for a long time without speaking, so he came over and asked.
"This house is really good, Lao Cao, if I buy it, you won't move away from the furniture and appliances here, right?" Yu Lifei asked.
"Of course, it's useless for me to move away, so I'll give it to you. But these pots of flowers and plants, please be sure to help me take care of them, when the old man was dying, he still remembered this matter. I'm not interested in any of this, so I'll have to ask you. Lao Cao said with a smile that the things at home did cost money when they were bought at that time, but now they can only be disposed of as waste, leaving them for Yu Lifei to sell for personal favors.
As for these flowers and plants on the balcony, the old man did tell him before he died, but he was busy with work, and it was not easy to put these things on the new side of the house, so he stayed here. And every time I see these flowers and plants, I will think of the old man, it is better to deal with them directly to Yu Lifei, so as not to add sadness in vain.
"Okay, Brother Ren, I bought this house." Yu Lifei said, this is almost a place where you can live in with a bag, which is very suitable. Although the house is a little dilapidated, it will not be okay to live in it for another ten or eight years.
"That's okay, Lao Cao, let's go through the formalities." Ren Jingtian is very familiar with the transfer of real estate, as long as Yu Lifei nods, he can handle the rest.
