An'an and Regeneration looked for a house near the school under the scorching sun, and the house in the community An'an was completely abandoned, because An'an inquired, and a room cost about 2,000 yuan, which is still very ordinary. So they walked for a long way before they found a peasant house.

"There's a piece of paper on that door, look!" An'an said to Regeneration.

"I'll see!"

"There's still a call, why don't you ask!"

"Hmm." Regeneration dialed the number, the other party was an uncle, and after Regeneration explained his intentions, the uncle walked out of the house.

"Is that you?"

"It's us!"

"Come in with me!"

An An and Regeneration followed the uncle into the house, from the beginning of the door, An An looked around, it was too messy, the shoes at the entrance were piled up everywhere, and an old grandmother's voice came from the back room, and I couldn't understand what was being said, I only knew that the uncle responded a few words, and there were all kinds of sundries piled up in the house.

"We live on the first floor by ourselves, and the second floor is rented out, so there is only one room left." Uncle said.

An An followed the uncle to the second floor, the narrow staircase, and a little steep, the light was dim, only a bare light bulb emitted a warm yellow light, and the corridor was still full of all kinds of sundries, and I couldn't see what it was for a while.

The uncle pushed open the door, just like the scene in a horror movie, and An An took a step back in fright.

The room had only a very small window, facing the house next door, a cold mud wall, through the iron frame, as if the room was a prison, the light could not shine in, and it was as dark as ink during the day, and it could only be seen clearly with the light on, a worn-out mattress was laid on the ground, the quilt and clothes on the bed were messy, a thick rope extended from the east side to the west at the end of the bed and hooked two nails nailed to the wall, on which were hung damp clothes, and even women's underwear and underwear, leaving a puddle of water stains on the mottled floor, The wallpaper on the wall is almost peeled off, revealing the strong embarrassment and depravity of the owner who lives there. At the end of the room was a long dark bathroom, and An'an didn't go inside, it was already suffocating to enter this room.

Staying in such a space, every pore is erected, and every cell on the body is repulsing.

"Is there anyone else living here?" Regeneration can still ask calmly.

"They're going to rent tomorrow, so they're not renting."

"Oh! Okay, how much does this room cost a month? ”

“350。” The uncle replied, "No counteroffer!" ”

"Okay, let's take a look then."

Regeneration and An'an left the house, and when they came out, An'an dared to breathe heavily.

"Don't you smell it? There was a musty smell in that house! ”

"Well, I smell it."

"Even if I had the skills, I wouldn't be able to make a room like that clean and tidy."

"The room wasn't inhabitable, it was too dark, dirty and messy."

"Then how much money do you ask? I thought you were going to think about it? ”

"Are you stupid? How could I possibly let you live in such a place? As soon as I entered the door, I knew that the family's room would definitely not work, and what would it look like, but I still have to ask what I should ask, otherwise it will be in vain? I need to know the housing prices around here, aren't they? ”

"I see! You're amazing. ”

"It's not that I'm good, it's just that I'm used to it, it's always good for me to know a little more, and if I can't use it now, it doesn't mean I won't use it forever."

"yes. I was so frightened when I went in that I didn't think much about it at all, I just wanted to get out quickly. ”

"In this way, I have a bottom in my heart, if his room is 350, then if we want to live better, it may cost more than 500, so it is easy to negotiate the price if we have a number in our hearts."

"It's a farmer's house."

"Yes, this is the area of the farmer's house closest to the school, and it is estimated that this piece will be demolished soon."

"We can only live in a peasant house, and the house in the community may cost you a month's salary."

"yes, anyway, we just need a room, and we don't need to rent one."

"Then let's look for it."

"Hmm."

In this way, An'an walked with Regeneration on the scorching earth for a morning, the clothes on Regeneration's back were soaked with sweat, and the sweat on An'an's forehead also stained his hair, and he looked at many houses, and finally arrived at a house that looked relatively clean.

"We rent out this house, we don't live here, we have another house."

"Oh! That's it! ”

"As soon as this resident moved out, we refreshed all the walls, and your bed was newly bought."

An An looked at the room in front of him, and it was really good. The room is south-facing, the four windows make the whole room look bright, the walls are as the landlord said, refreshed, there are no stains, a wooden wardrobe, a bed, and a writing desk, the bathroom is in the northwest corner of the room, all tiled.

"And what do you say about the price?"

"750 a month, 20 a month for water, electricity according to the meter, anyway, we have a separate meter in each room."

"Can it be cheaper?" Anan asked.

"We've always been at this price, not at the price. This room is very big, you see, in fact, the balcony is included in it, it was not divided at that time, you can cook something to eat on this balcony, the electric stove cooks a soup and a porridge, as long as there is no cooking and no fumes. ”

"The room is OK, but the price is a bit expensive!" Regeneration said.

"You want cheap ones, I'll show you."

The landlord took An'an and Regeneration to the attic, it was a very low room, the ceiling was slanted, and everyone in the lowest place couldn't stand up straight, even if it was the highest place, the regeneration station would touch the ceiling there, the windows were open on the north side, and the small ones were negligible, and the bathroom was in the southwest corner, which could only accommodate one person, and the whole room revealed a depressing atmosphere.

The landlord said, "This room is very cheap, only 500. ”

An Shore didn't speak, this cheap is a matter of course, after all, such a narrow space. I began to convince myself in my heart, forget it, 750 is 750, anyway, I will live for more than a month, and when the weather is cool, I still have to move back to school to live, and I am tired after looking for a long time, and I don't know if I can find my favorite house.

"Then we still want the big one from before!" Regeneration seemed to see what An's mind was thinking.

"Do you want that one?" The landlord asked.

"An'an, what do you think?"

"Hmm. I just think it's a bit expensive! Anan said.

"The little girl is not expensive, you go to the surrounding area to inquire, what is the location of the housing prices here? We have a good conscience. ”

"Can I take a look at the room again?" Anan asked.

"Yes." As he spoke, he led them back to the room they had just had.

"You see, it's still spacious and bright, and it's a good price! There have always been people living in it, and it has only been empty for a few days. ”

"Is there a net here?"

"Yes, the network cables are all pulled, you can use it by yourself with a router. The money for the network is our own, I don't want you to go out, in fact, the network fee for a room is 20 yuan a month, and we pull the network cable separately, so that the network speed can be faster. ”

"Okay, then this one." Regeneration said, "Can we live in today?" ”

"Yes, you can move in whenever you want, then pay the money today, and then register my ID card."

"Okay."

"Pay month by month, but pay in advance, for example, if you pay this month's money today, you will pay next month's money next month's today, okay? The deposit is 200, and if you don't live for a year, the deposit can be refunded. ”

"Okay, no problem." As he spoke, he took the money out of his wallet and handed it to the landlord, "You count!" ”

The landlord took the money, dipped his finger in his tongue with satisfaction, and began to count the money, although it was only a few hundred dollars, but he counted it with relish, carefully smoothed the corners of the money with his hands, and then folded it in half and put it in his pocket. He took out a pen and a piece of worn-out white paper from his pocket and began to write.

"I'll write you a receipt!"

"Good!"

"The air conditioner and water heater are all good, you can try it!" As he wrote earnestly, he asked, "Are you still in school?" ”

"No, I'm all at work!" Regeneration said.

An'an was asked by him, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and didn't dare to interject.

"Oh, I think you're pretty small, I thought you were still studying."

"We're not too small."

"Now, the receipt is for you, and you can keep it for yourselves!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"By the way, you want to give me your ID card, I will return it to you tomorrow, now the investigation is very strict, we ordinary people must cooperate, I will go to the police station to register."

"Yes!" Regeneration said and took out his wallet-clipped ID card, and An An also took out his ID card from his bag.

"One will do." The landlord took the regenerated ID card and looked at it, "You are Lake City?" ”

"Hmm."

"Lake City is very close to us."

"Yes, it takes more than an hour to drive on the highway."

"Then it's convenient for you to go home."

"It's not convenient to take the bus, you have to go around, the bus is transferred to the bus, and it takes almost four hours to get home."

"Then how did you come up with the idea of coming here? The people who rent houses here are all outsiders, and there are many people. ”

"Do you want to come out and break in, after all, Rock City is much bigger than Lake City."

"That's a good thing that young people are motivated! My son is the same, he went out after graduation, and now he has opened his own company and bought a house in Shanghai. The landlord began to talk about his son with a proud face.

An'an and Regeneration just smiled and nodded.

After saying that he was happy, he remembered, "Okay, I won't bother you, you clean up, I'll send you your ID card tomorrow." ”

"Okay, thanks."
