The Jun'an Jiayuan Community, where Molly lives, is located in the Xiaoying business district outside the Fourth Ring Road in the north of Beijing, where the transportation is quite convenient, adjacent to Metro Line 8. The subdivision is divided into two areas, east and west, and Molly lives in a high-rise residential building in the east side.

Molly walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the 6th floor, and the elevator did not stop in the middle and went straight to the 6th floor.

Molly stepped out of the elevator door and came to the door of room 604, and after pressing six digits on the combination lock, the lock opened.

Pushing the door into the room, the corridor was pitch black, and Molly casually flipped the switch on the wall. On the left is a four-family shared kitchen, directly opposite a master bedroom, on the right, and so on, and three other rooms, one of which is a living room converted into a room, and on the far right is a three-family shared bathroom.

This kind of shared house pattern is everywhere in the capital, and due to the housing prices that only go up but not down, it is already very good for Molly to rent a house like this.

Recently, Beijing has been vigorously rectifying the rental market and forcing the demolition of many houses with illegal partitions. As a result, rents in the capital have skyrocketed recently. Many Beipiao people were forced to leave this bustling city because they couldn't afford to rent a house.

Molly's rented room is one of the few shared houses developed by a formal intermediary company, and VR room selection can be carried out through the mobile app (intuitive and visible), and at the same time, the procedures are complete, and there is a house manager to directly manage, so as to avoid many hidden dangers.

Moreover, the rent settlement is carried out through the mobile app, which is very convenient. One of the most cost-effective is that you can settle your rent on a monthly basis. Usually renting a house in the capital, the intermediary company not only charges one month's rent as an intermediary fee commission, but also needs to settle the rent according to the method of charging one and paying three. That is, a deposit plus three months' rent.

Molly rents such a room, and only needs to pay 80% of the house rent to the agency as a commission for the agency fee, and at the same time prepay the rent on the app on a monthly basis. It is such a master bedroom, with an area of only 15 square meters, and the monthly rent is 4,500 yuan.

This is equivalent to half a year's rent in other medium-sized cities in China. And it's the kind of two-bedroom, well-equipped, well-decorated, and a bag to move in. It is conceivable that if you want to live in the capital, the first thing to consider is whether your income can afford the rent, which is the status quo of the top cities in China.

Molly walked to the door of the master bedroom, pressed the code on the combination lock, pushed the door open and walked into her room.

Molly's room is the master bedroom, and it is the only room with a bathroom in this house, which is why Molly rents this room. Although the rent is nearly 1,000 yuan more expensive than other rooms, I don't have to worry about fighting for the bathroom when I go to work every morning.

Several residents next door often have small frictions due to the use of the toilet in the morning. One day, a girl who worked in an e-commerce business next door was so anxious that she even knocked on Molly's room in order to borrow the bathroom!

Molly threw her handbag on the couch, took off her coat, threw the heels off her feet, and threw herself headlong on her bed.

There was simply too much to do in one day today, and the taut string on Molly's body was finally released. Lazily lying on his soft and comfortable bed, I felt the tingling sensation from my body and the swelling of my feet like electricity. This day's tossing is really exhausting myself.

After lying on the bed for nearly ten minutes, there was a gurgling sound in her belly, and she hadn't eaten anything since noon, and Molly was actually hungry for a long time.

Molly raised her left hand and looked at the time on her watch, there were 20 minutes left until 8 o'clock. Zhao Ze's guy is still on the train, and it is estimated that if he comes back to eat together, he will have to be hungry and twitch.

I don't know if that fool will eat on the train, but now if he orders takeout, it is estimated that after the delivery is finished, Zhao Ze's guy should also get off the train.

Molly pondered whether to take a bite first, or wait for Zhao Ze to come, and the two of them ate together.

Struggling to get up from the comfort of his bed, he walked to the balcony and looked out. It started to rain again outside, dripping on the brightly lit streets. There are still a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets, because this is the time when everyone gets home from work.

All the people in Beipiao have been accustomed to this rhythm of life, and the time spent on the road to and from work every day is about 2-3 hours, which is relatively close to home. High housing prices make people work farther and farther away. Molly first came to the capital, and lived in Yanjiao as far as she could, spending 5 hours a day commuting to and from work.

I have to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and after washing, I am busy going out of the house and waiting in line, and after waiting for the bus, I start to put on makeup on the bus, and then I sleep until the terminal. Molly has been persevering in this kind of life for 3 years.

Now she is very satisfied with the comfortable nest she rents in the capital. Whenever I return home, it seems that all the hard work is gone, although it is not my real home, but this place will always belong to me, and the feeling of putting down the mask can only be released here.

Sometimes it's really like Zhang Xinyang said, "When you speak in the unit, you are talking in Mandarin by yourself, and you are pretending to be a calf." I'm off work now, what else are you pretending, you can say whatever you like, who are you pretending to be a calf, you are right, old girl, you are talking about calves!" Although it is a bit vulgar, there is some truth to it.

Thinking of what Zhang Xinyang said, Molly couldn't help laughing, everyone in the Northeast is a drama spirit, and it's really like this. Zhao Ze sometimes often comes up with a set of sentences, which makes Molly sometimes laugh and sometimes be sad, which is really a feeling of endless speech.

Forget it, let's get some food by yourself first, now I can't live so irregularly anymore, how can I say that I am also an expectant mother, even if I don't eat, the child in the belly also needs nutrition.

Molly opened the door, the corridor was still quiet, the three families inside had not returned, and it was estimated that dinner was all settled outside.

There is only one kitchen in room 604, and sometimes everyone has to take turns waiting for the meal to be cooked. Especially on holidays, the innermost room is occupied by a couple with a child, and on weekends they occupy the kitchen, cooking and stewing. There were only two stoves in total, all of which were occupied by their house.

There is also the little girl who does e-commerce next door, and there is a pot on the stove, and she always forgets it. Since she moved in, she has burned through four pots.

There is also the boy in room No. 3, who bought a bunch of things and put them in the kitchen, and he didn't know that everything was rotten, and the whole kitchen smelled bad and died.

Molly pushed open the kitchen door and carefully turned on the light, because this kitchen Xiaoqiang had reached the point of flooding, as soon as the light was turned on, a large number of unknown creatures would be found on the ground crawling rapidly.

After turning on the light and waiting for a while, when all these tenacious lives had escaped, Molly went into the kitchen, took out the electric kettle in her cabinet and boiled water, took out a box of hot and sour noodles from the cabinet, unpacked it, and waited for the water to boil.
