Chapter 14: Landlords
"A suite?"
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, there is still this kind of operation in the Foundation Branch?
Different from ordinary daily necessities, the house is the lifelong pursuit of the vast majority of people in X City, and the uncles and aunts in the vegetable market downstairs have worked hard all their lives just to buy a house in their old age, and because of this, Gu Yun has never considered buying a house at all.
The customs of this world are very different from those in the village, there are no real estate developers in the village, and if you want to live in a good house, you have to build it yourself, but in this world, building your own buildings will be classified as illegal buildings.
"Don't you think it's a bad place to live in this neighborhood?"
Every day when Shen Yue went home, she could smell a mixture of fishy smell and rotting melons and fruits, but she could still bear this, after all, when she was training in the main department, she could be regarded as having experienced all kinds of harsh living environments.
But the real problem is that Gu Yun's rental house is too small, so small that it only has two bedrooms and a living room, and the kitchen is still renovated with a balcony.
Senior Sister Gu and Gu Yun both had their own rooms, and she, the borrower, could only be squeezed to sleep on the sofa.
It is bearable to sleep for a few days, but if it goes on like this, her waist and neck will sooner or later have major problems with sleep, and it is said that a herniated lumbar disc is a major problem that plagues contemporary people.
"Your current treatment is basically the same as that of senior employees, and the most you can choose is a duplex room."
At least in the identity of a senior employee, Shen Yue can be regarded as a person, when she first arrived in X City, Chen Jiang took a list for her to choose a place to live, although the duplex room is spacious, the environment of the community is good, but it is too far away from the school, she finally chose a residential building less than five minutes away from the school.
And Gu Yun's current place is not only a poor environment, but they also have to take the bus or squeeze the subway to go to class every day, which can be said to be quite inconvenient.
"Shall I ask?"
"No, there should still be a vacant house in the residential area where I used to be, and I'll help you choose."
"I'm sorry for you."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Shen Yue didn't expect Gu Yun to be so easy to speak, she thought that Gu Yun was the kind of diehards who advocated tempering their willpower in a difficult environment, so she also thought of a series of words, but now they can't use them all.
"If it goes well, I'll be able to move in almost the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go talk to the landlord tomorrow."
………………
Early the next morning, after his sister and Shen Yue went to school together, Gu Yun dialed the phone number of the landlord who had not been contacted for a long time.
In about a quarter of an hour, the landlord arrived at the rental house.
The old man is a native of X City, bought many apartments during the Great Depression, and now in his later years, he can live very decently by collecting rent.
Gu Yun hadn't studied this aspect of the doorway, he only knew that the old man was quite good, and he had never raised the rent for so many years.
"Long time no see, Xiaofu!"
The old man is in good spirits and always maintains a kind smile on his face.
It's just that when he opens his mouth, he doesn't know who he's calling.
"I'm Xiao Gu!"
Every time they met, Gu Yun had to correct the other party.
"Xiaofu?"
"It's Gu Yun!"
"Hey, don't remind me, I'm not old and confused, aren't you Fuyun!"
To be honest, if he hadn't known in advance that the old man's ears were not very good and he was a little forgetful, Gu Yun would probably think that this old man had come to him for an appointment.
According to the people in the neighborhood, the old man was hurt by a bad woman when he was young, so he became an unmarried man all his life, had no children and no daughters under his knees, and did not find a wife in his old age, and did everything himself.
"Uncle Feng, I came to you this time to ......"
"Pay the rent, just call me, don't have to make it so troublesome."
Uncle Feng said happily.
However, Gu Yun was not happy, his eyes seemed to fall into deep darkness - how could he remember that he had already told Uncle Feng that they were not going to rent it when he was on the phone?
The old man came all the way around, but in fact he forgot what he was here for.
In fact, Gu Yun has had a hunch over the years that Uncle Feng never raises the rent or urges the rent, and it may not be because of kindness, but he may even forget that he still has such a suite.
"Uncle Feng, in fact, I plan to move out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Moving out? It's good to move out, the environment here is really not good, and if you make money, you have to let your sister live a good life...... By the way, what about Futian's girl? ”
“…… Went to school. ”
Gu Yun didn't know who Futian was, but he didn't want to entangle with Uncle Feng over the name, with the uncle's forgetfulness, he could still vaguely hurry that he had a younger sister, which was already a super level of performance.
It's just that no matter whether Uncle Feng was kind or really forgot to give them a rent increase, Gu Yun was still very grateful to the other party, after all, Uncle Feng also provided them with a cheap house when the two of them were the poorest, so that he and his sister would not go to sleep on the street.
"Going to school? It's good to go to school, it's Futian's girl who should be in junior high school, right? ”
"It's a sophomore year of high school."
"Sophomores in high school? So fast! ”
Not only is it fast, but the last time I called, the exact same conversation had already happened once.
Uncle Feng's impression of them seems to have remained the same as several years ago.
"Anyway, thank you."
"No thanks, no thanks."
Uncle Feng said happily, "I know, then let's do this today, and I will always contact you if you have something." ”
"Okay."
"I'll come here next month to see you and say hello to Futian on my behalf."
As Gu Yun said, Uncle Feng is in good spirits and walks like the wind.
However, he still didn't know if the old man understood what he was talking about.
And......
Until Gu Yun was about to move out of this old house, he still didn't know how the name Futian came about.
Forget it, even if it's a big deal.
Gu Yun sat on the sofa in the living room, silently looking around at the old house that had accompanied them for several years, the early morning sun illuminated the room, and every corner seemed to be able to see the light and shadow of the past.
He wasn't really a person who liked to touch the scene, and the reason why he had been looking at this room for so long......
It's purely because he was blinded by Uncle Feng.
Uncle Feng has been gone for a long time, and Gu Yun has not come to his senses.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells—"
The most primitive ringtone that came with the mobile phone rang, and Gu Yun picked up the mobile phone screen and glanced at it, and Wang Lu's name was displayed on it.
"Hello?"
"Gu Yun, come to me, I urgently need manpower, this time it's really alive!"
