Chapter 7 Finding a House
Under the guidance of Aunt Huang, it didn't take long for Xu Fan to ride outside a village, there were about forty or fifty families in the village, the village was surrounded by farmland, a small stream passed through the farmland, and the river was dotted with trees that could not be named.
Xu Fan got off the bicycle and slowly pushed towards the village, and saw a sixty or seventy-year-old grandmother sitting on the Mazha at the entrance of the village. Grandma's voice was clear, "Young man, you asked the right person, grandma, my family is renting, what kind of house do you want." Xu Fan said, "It's best to have a separate courtyard, if not, a single room is fine." Grandma touched her head and thought for a while and said, "There is basically no single courtyard now, hey, no, there is a single courtyard, but on the edge of the village, the family is two husband and wife, and their son took it to Guangdong to enjoy happiness, it is my sister's house, after they left, they entrusted the house to me to take care of, if you rent it, the rent may be more expensive than other houses, but the yard is quite large." Xu Fan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was most important to ensure that his secret was not discovered, so he said, "Grandma, take me to see the house." Grandma stood up tremblingly, Xu Fan rushed forward when he saw this, helped Grandma, put Mazha on the back seat of the bicycle, Grandma said, "Let's go to my house first," Grandma's house is at the entrance of the village, the house is quite large, and it will be there after walking a few steps. The door was open, Xu Fan helped Grandma into the house, and Grandma shouted, "Third child, there are guests at home." A middle-aged man in his forties walked out, he took Grandma from Xu Fan's hand, Grandma pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "This is my son, named Li Shu, the third in line." Xu Fan hurriedly said, "Third Uncle is good"
Grandma told Li Shu about Xu Fan's willingness to rent a house, and Li Shu said, "Young man, then I'll take you to see the house now." Xu Fan took Ma Zha off the back seat of the bicycle, Xu Fan thought it was relatively close to tie the bicycle, ready to walk, Li Shu said, "Let's ride, the house is still in the east of the village, more than 500 meters away." “
Xu Fan and Li Shu rode a bicycle along the avenue in front of the village for more than 500 meters, and saw a house on one side of the avenue, close to the avenue, and cars passed by from time to time, kicking up a layer of dust. When I arrived, I found that the gate of the yard was covered with a thick layer of dust. Li Shu opened the door with the key, and a layer of soil floated down from the gate, choking Xu Fan several times, Li Shu said embarrassedly, "This place is far away from the village chief, and I don't come to clean it often, I'm sorry." Xu Fan said, "Third uncle, it's okay, let's take a look at the house." "The yard is quite large, there are more than 200 square meters, the house is relatively small, the three rooms are only seventy or eighty square meters, the left and right two rooms are smaller, it seems to be a place to put sundries, put a bed in, people will not settle down, the house in the middle is relatively large, there are more than 50 square meters. The room wasn't too dirty, but it still needed to be cleaned.
Li Shu said embarrassedly, "Xiaofan, do you see that the rent of this house is 200 a month?" Xu Fan said suspiciously, "Third uncle, why didn't anyone want such a haode house before." Li Shu said, "This house is good, that is, it has just been built for five or six years, but it is too close to the avenue, and it is so noisy that people can't sleep at night, and it is far away from the village, everyone is afraid of being unsafe, so there are not many people who are willing to rent, you are the first, hehe" laughed as he spoke, Xu Fan thought that he needed a remote place to develop, so he agreed to rent this house, but the rent of the whole yard talked about 150 yuan a month, and it was paid half a year, which was a relatively low price. After the two talked, they chatted, and Xu Fan saw that the rice in the field had been harvested, so he asked, "Third uncle, can you ask, how is the rice here sold?" Li Shu looked at Xu Fan suspiciously, and said, "What is this, it is all purchased by the grain merchants themselves, and it is estimated that it is almost time to buy." Xu Fan secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Third uncle, do you have a phone number from a grain merchant?" Li Shu happily took out the grain merchant's phone number, wrote it on a piece of paper, and handed it to Xu Fan after writing. Xu Fan looked at the piece of paper carefully and put it in his jacket pocket carefully.
made an appointment to pay the rent tomorrow, Li Shu handed over the door key to Xu Fan, and informed him that he would bring his ID card when he came tomorrow and had to register. After Li Shu left, Xu Fan took a broom to clean the door slightly, cleaned the room, the furniture in the room was quite complete, there was a big bed, a set of sofas, a wardrobe, and checked it, although there were not many people, but the water and electricity were connected, saving Xu Fan trouble.
