Chapter 20: I've Got a Rental Room, Yay!
Aunt Guan was stunned for a moment, then patted her head and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, girl, I'm also in a hurry!" To be honest, if it weren't for my lover's illness and you always looking for a house here, I wouldn't have thought of this. ”
When Gu Yuan heard this, he smiled and expressed his understanding.
"May I take the liberty of asking, what kind of illness does your lover have?" Don't blame Gu Yuan for being reckless, this may be related to how long the house can be rented to you, and you must ask it clearly now.
Aunt Li waved her hand, "Hey! He had gallstones during a physical examination last year, and he didn't care about it at the time. It's okay now, if the stone is big, he will have to have surgery to remove it, otherwise he will die of pain when he is so old. ”
Gu Yuan nodded and agreed with Aunt Guan's statement.
"Go, girl! I'll take you to see my house. Aunt Guan wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand and beckoned Gu Yuan to follow her.
When she arrived at the place, she found that the location of the house was not too far from the hotel where she lived.
After looking at the house, Gu Yuan felt quite satisfied. After discussing with Aunt Guan, the matter of renting a house was finally finalized, and the next year was finalized, 20 yuan a month, including water and electricity bills.
Gu Yuan felt that it was okay and paid for the house for half a year directly. The contract is signed today, press the handprint, the key is handed over, and Gu Yuan can move in tomorrow.
Seeing Aunt Guan away, Gu Yuan locked the door and returned to the hotel to start packing up. In fact, there is nothing that can be taken with me, and I originally came to Yanjing alone, except for the newspapers, manuscript paper and pens I bought these days.
In the end, only one small package was harvested.
After checking out of the room at the front desk and taking back the deposit, Gu Yuan went to the house first to put down the package, and then went to the bank to withdraw 100 yuan.
I went to the mall to buy some daily necessities, and went to Hongxia to return home with a large bag of talents.
On the way back, I also met the residents of the same building, and I said hello only that I was a distant relative of Aunt Guan.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, snow covers the world.
Gu Yuan has also lived here for more than 3 months, thinking that it is inconvenient for Aunt Guan to collect rent in winter, he sent the rest of the rent in advance, and went to see Grandpa Qiao by the way.
Grandpa Qiao is Aunt Guan's lover, both of them are middle-level in the factory, and their childhood sweethearts are very affectionate.
Gu Yuan's writing career has gradually become formalized, and he signed a long agreement with a magazine that the novel will be closed in the next two days and sent to the editor.
The common magazine in the market is 50 yuan for 1,000 words, because Gu Yuan has invested nearly half a year for this manuscript, and the editor has given a very good manuscript fee - 60 yuan for 1,000 words!
Now the signed long story is about 500,000 words, and she will save enough 30,000 yuan when the last batch of manuscript fees comes next month!
Coupled with the fees she paid to some foreign translators from time to time, it added up to almost 40,000 yuan, which was enough for her to buy a house of her own here.
In the early 90s, Gu Yuan mentioned the house as he wished.
This house is also a unit welfare housing like Aunt Guan, and because the family immigrated, the house was sold.
Seventy square meters of three-bedroom apartment, located outside the third ring road. It was an old-fashioned six-story brick building, and all kinds of formalities were in the early 40,000s, and when the key was handed over to Gu Yuan, she had a total of about 50 yuan left over her body.
I finally have a place of my own, in fact, if you want to say why you want to buy this house, in addition to the right price, the most important point is that it has a "home" feeling.
It's an amazing feeling.
