Chapter 20 Renting a House
Sunset and sunrise,
The night passed quickly,
A new day has begun.
Meng Yuerou was in a good mood,
It's so lucky, I just found a job and found such a nearby rental house, and the job was so easy, even the problem of food was solved, if it wasn't for my aunt's introduction, I couldn't believe that there was such a good thing.
The sooner you settle in, the sooner you can go to work.
When the dust settles, she can rest assured, Meng Yuerou's heart is full of expectations.
After all, people who have just graduated are always more or less confused, but they also carefully step into society with expectations for the future.
At this time, young people always have ambitions and dreams, fantasizing that the future can become better with their own hard work, and looking forward to the future they create.
The ideals of young people are always so beautiful and simple, and as for the reality, time will tell.
Some people say that universities are a small society, but compared to society, universities are indeed too "small", and when we actually step into them, we will probably know.
Once you enter this station, it is as deep as the sea.
She had an internship before, but the conditions and treatment were not very good, and it could even be said that she was quite unfriendly to newcomers. So at that time, she was a little disappointed and uneasy about her work. So I wondered if I could find another one.
So after being introduced by his aunt, he went to Lin Fan's store to apply for a job.
But fortunately, I was very satisfied with this job, and I was glad that I quit my internship job with the attitude of giving it a try.
In the future, it's time to work hard.
Meng Yuerou secretly cheered herself up.
......
moved out of the collective dormitory where she originally interned, Meng Yuerou's luggage was temporarily stored at her aunt's house, and she also lived at her aunt's house temporarily, and her job was settled, so the housing problem should be solved next.
She is now ready to go to the rental house introduced to her by the rental agent, the location is also good, saying that it is in Mapai Village, not far from Lin Fan's shop, and the straight-line distance is only two or three kilometers.
After a few bus stops, Meng Yuerou came to Mapai Village, an undeveloped urban village, with an old-fashioned architectural style that is somewhat out of place compared to the bustling urban high-rise buildings, and the old residential buildings have a certain sense of age, like the style of the seventies and eighties of the last century.
The greening of Banyan City is actually quite good, and there are rows of huge banyan trees planted on the roadside road, which stand tall and row upon row. The reason why Banyan City is called Banyan City is because of the huge banyan trees that grow vigorously in the city.
Banyan City is called Yecheng in front of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhang Boyu, the Taishou of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, calls on the residents of Rongcheng to plant banyan trees all over the city, since then, the street has the magnificent landscape of "the summer does not open the cover, the green shade is full of the city".
So there is the nickname of "Banyan City".
Meng Yuerou got out of the car and walked for a few minutes, and came to the old city, looking left and right for the place where she had made an appointment with the rental agent, under a huge banyan tree.
Soon, she saw the huge banyan tree mentioned by the intermediary, standing out among the rows of banyan trees.
Tens of meters high, the branches are luxuriant, the branches are thick, the roots of the old banyan tree are intricately coiled and coiled, and several huge brown roots protrude from the ground, chaotic and intertwined.
The summer cicadas on the banyan tree are tirelessly calling loudly all day long.
A middle-aged woman was waiting in the shade of a tree, carrying a satchel on her back, holding a small plastic fan in one hand and fanning the wind incessantly, and the other hand on her broad waist, her face wrinkled with heat and impatience.
She looked left and right,
From a distance, when he saw Meng Yuezhi walking with an umbrella, his eyes immediately opened, his face changed, and with a smile, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Yo, is it Sister Meng?"
The middle-aged woman trotted in with her bloated and fat body, and she was out of breath after a few steps.
Whew-
Whew-
Whew-
"Ouch, I'm tired."
"Well, are you Sister Li?"
Meng Yuerou replied softly and gently.
"Hey, yes, yes, it's me, it's me, hahaha, Xiao Meng's sister is so beautiful."
Sister Li was very enthusiastic, her fat face was full of smiles, and the fat was wrinkled together.
"You've won a prize."
Meng Yuerou said with some embarrassment.
"Oops! I haven't seen anyone like you, Sister Li, it's rare to see how beautiful you are! ”
Meng Yuerou smiled embarrassedly.
"Little Meng's sister is so humble."
Sister Li took a fan to help Meng Yuezhi fan the wind,
"Look at it like this, Xiao Meng's sister has just graduated, right?"
"Hmm."
"I'll just say, at this time, the young and bright little girl came to look for a house, isn't it a fresh graduate!"
"You're amazing."
"Oh, if you see more people, you know more. Recently, I have also met a lot of young people who want to rent a house, and they are all similar to you, they are all just out of school and looking for a job. ”
Speaking of which, she asked again,
"Sister Meng's job has been found, right?"
"Found it."
"It's good to find it, you are a girl's family, it's not easy to go out to work alone, find a boyfriend with good conditions while you're young, and you won't have to be tired in the future." If you're as beautiful as you, a lot of boys are willing to chase you. ”
Meng Yuerou smiled and didn't speak.
"You don't have a boyfriend, do you? Have it? ”
“...... No. ”
"If you want to find a boyfriend, you can tell Sister Li, I'll introduce you, I usually work as a matchmaker when I have nothing to do, but I know a lot of good guys."
“......”
Meng Yuerou did not speak.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about this, Sister Li immediately pulled back the topic, like her, who often deals with people, but she knows how to observe words and looks, and knock on the side, especially when she meets these young people who have just come out of society, they are basically relatively tender, and she can easily get a lot of useful information from the chat content.
"Gee, so you're working around here, right?"
Generally, graduates come out to look for a job, and when the job is settled, they will see if there is a suitable house nearby.
"Well, not far."
"That's good, then you have to take advantage of it, there aren't many suitable houses left, and my place is quite sought-after."
"Hmm."
"Isn't it hot?"
Sister Li fanned her with a fan again.
"It's okay, or... Let's go and see the house first......"
"Ouch," Sister Li patted her head, "You see my memory, patronizing to talk to you, almost forgetting to get down to business." Let's go, come with me, right in front of here. ”
Sister Li said and led the way,
"Although we are an urban village, the building is relatively old, but it is quite convenient to walk a few steps outside, and there are also all that should be in the house, you can rest assured."
Sister Li chattered and introduced her.
"Hmm."
Not long after, Sister Li took Meng Yuerou to an old residential building, the building is not high, only five floors, walking stairs, and the handrails are also made of reinforced concrete.
The lower part of the wall is made of cement, painted with red paint, which has faded over the years, and the upper part is made of white fabric, and part of the wall has also fallen off, revealing the dark red bricks inside.
It is indeed a very old facility, and it is estimated that it will be renovated in a few years.
The layout of the old building is one floor and one household, and Sister Li took Meng Yuezhi to the top floor, the fifth floor.
"Here we are."
Sister Li took out a large bunch of keys from her bag and found them carefully.
"It's this."
Then Sister Li picked up the key and inserted it into the somewhat old aluminum panel door in front of her, the aluminum plate on the door has been oxidized and dull due to long-term storage, and there seems to be a note on it that has not been removed?
Maybe it's a small advertisement posted by someone else, when she just went upstairs, Sister Li also tore off a few new posts of psoriasis from the wall, and even someone on this wall used a paint spray gun to advertise on it.
Heaven and earth foot bath city, Bohai Andrology second half price......
Underneath the slogan is a string of phone numbers.
As if her hand was raw, Sister Li turned around several times before opening the lock.
Reach out and push,
Squeak –
There was a jerky sound from the gate, which seemed to be in disrepair.
"Come, little Meng, come in and have a look."
Meng Yuerou followed Sister Li in, the air was a little dull, it seemed that the doors and windows had been closed for too long and there was no ventilation.
The house was not very well lit, and there was a layer of dust on the surface that needed to be cleaned again.
As soon as you enter, there is a small living room with a large fan on the ceiling, a small kitchen at the end, a bedroom on the right hand side of the living room, a bathroom on the left, and a balcony with a sink on the wall connected to the bathroom.
"This house, I told you before, one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, you see, I didn't lie to you, right?"
Sister Li turned on the fan, the weather was really difficult.
"Although there is only a fan in the living room, there is air conditioning in the bedroom, so you don't have to worry about this. How about you take a look? Satisfied? As long as you carry your bag, you can move in, little Meng. ”
Meng Yuerou thinks it's okay, after all, she is just a fresh college student who has just graduated, and she has no background and can only rely on herself, and it is already very good for a person to find such a place when he first arrives.
And it's just a temporary residence, and when you save money in the future, you can change to a good place, after all, you can't find a suitable time period.
"Okay......"
"Hey, that's good, it's not easy to see you alone, I don't want much for you this month, 1000 a month, do you think it's okay?"
"Hmm."
The price is really acceptable, after all, the house is quite big, there are all the things that should be there, and the main thing is that the location is good.
"Okay, then if you agree, we'll sign the contract, and we'll have to rent it for at least half a year, you see."
"Okay."
"As for you, pay two months' rent first, and then let's take our time."
Meng Yuerou agreed, and after all the formalities were completed, the money was transferred.
Sister Li gave her the key to the house,
"Little Meng, the matter is so decided, if there is anything, you also have my contact information, just tell me directly."
"Okay, thank you."
"Oh, you're welcome, then I'll go first, I'll have something to contact."
"Well, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Sister Li walked out of the door with her satchel on her back and went downstairs.
wiped the sweat from his head,
A pair of small eyes full of smiles on the fat face,
Hey
It's finally rented out......
In the living room,
Meng Yuerou looked at the time,
It's only past three o'clock in the afternoon,
Let's go and bring our luggage first.
Pack up again, stay one night and go to work tomorrow.
Then she turned off the fan and went out.
In an empty rental house,
The incandescent lamp on the ceiling of the living room suddenly flashed for no reason,
Whoop –
......
