It was already half past seven in the evening when she returned to the rented community, Meng Zhen was looking forward to tomorrow's house, and had been wandering in a different place for twelve years (four years of college), always hoping to have a nest of her own, she admitted that she was a very insecure person, and always felt that something was missing in a place that did not belong to her.

Open the door, kick off the 5-point leather shoes on your feet, change into slippers and throw yourself into the sofa, so tired, I don't even have the strength to drink water!

She lay on the sofa very unimaged, squinting and thinking: Zhoujiazhuang? Where is this place?

After listening to Aunt Hao's general explanation of the situation just now, Meng Zhen found that although she had been in Quancheng for 12 years, she didn't know much about the city, at least she hadn't heard of this place name. Quancheng is an inland city, surrounded by mountains on both sides to the southwest, facing the Yellow River to the north, and only connected to other cities in the east. In recent years, the southern mountainous area has been developed into a suburban tourist spot, and she went to visit it with her classmates when she was in college; The mountainous area in the west, because it is far away from the city, she has never heard of many place names. For example, this Zhoujiazhuang!

Since he wants to make a home there, how can he understand the situation, thinking of doing it, Meng Zhen got up from the sofa, went to the bedroom to turn on the computer, and carefully searched for information about this place.

Although Baidu is very good now, but this mountain village is estimated to be too small, can not find its information, only in the spring city bus map to see a small dot, a city bus stop sign.

Forget it, you'll find out after watching it tomorrow. Today, the old lady said that it was estimated at 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and she opened the drawer of the computer desk, which contained all her belongings.

She took out 4 bank cards, one by one, there were 30,000 in this, and this one originally saved 40,000 yuan and lent 20,000 yuan to Chen Xue, and 20,000 yuan......

Counting and counting, she has saved a total of 76,800 yuan over the years at work, Xiaoxue's 20,000 yuan is not counted, she has just paid the mortgage, and she must have no money in her hand. If 70,000 is taken, there will be 6,800. Although the old man said that the house was newly renovated this year, she still needed to tidy it up in the past, add some furniture, and add miscellaneous expenses, which may not be enough. Today is only the 18th, next month on the 6th of the salary, this month's salary plus bonus is about more than 3800, but after deducting insurance and personal income tax, it will not exceed 3300 yuan, but these money can not be spent, remit 1000 yuan to Dad, and reserve 800 yuan for next month's living expenses, God, it is still not enough!

"Forgive me for being a little indifferent...... faint mobile phone ringtone came from the living room, Meng Zhen swept all the bank cards into the drawer, walked out of the bedroom, and took out the vibrating mobile phone from his bag.

Landlord?

"Xiao Meng, have you eaten? I'm a host."

"Auntie, have you eaten?" It's time to pay the next quarter's rent again, alas!

"I've eaten it. Now that you have time, I want to tell you something! The middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone paused, as if thinking about how to say better.

"Auntie, I know, it's time to pay the rent for the next quarter, I'm ......"

"Oh, Xiao Meng, Auntie will tell you this, you have lived in my house for several years, and Auntie has only increased the house price once. Now that the house price has risen by several percent, I wonder if our rent should also rise. It used to be 1200 a month, and from next month it will be 1500 a month, and the rent for half a year will be paid in advance. What do you think? ”

"1,500 yuan a month? Half a year of delivery? Auntie, isn't it too much, you see I'm also a person, and I don't have much salary a month, if I take it to pay the rent, then I-" failed, I just calculated for a long time, and I forgot to add the rent.

"Xiao Meng, Auntie knows that it is a bit too much for you to take out half a year's house money at once, but I can't help it, my wife and I have a pension of a few hundred yuan a month, for this house money, my son has never let them single when he got married, and now they are all crowded with us. In this way, there are still 10 days before the end of the month, and you can consider it, and if you think it's okay, I'll give in to the total amount, and if it really doesn't work, I can only rent it to others. My house is still very good to rent, the location is so good, in the city, and the transportation is convenient. You will give me an accurate word tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will prepare in advance. ”

"Okay, you let me think about it, and I'll call you when I decide, you can rest assured that it won't delay your affairs."

Meng Zhen agreed, and hung up the phone after a few words of greeting with the landlord's aunt.

Now she is looking forward to tomorrow's house, she must have her own space as soon as possible, and never let herself be so passive again!

The next day, Meng Zhen washed up, had a simple meal in the small restaurant downstairs, and made an appointment with Manager Fang last night, and he drove them to see the house today. The appointment was to pick up Aunt Hao at 09:30, and the manager came to pick her up half an hour early. It's already 08:45 and it is estimated that the manager is almost there.

Sure enough, after she finished drinking soy milk, she received a text message from Manager Fang on her mobile phone: "Meng Zhen, I arrived, and now I am at the intersection south of your community, which is where you got off last night." ”

She replied: "Okay, I'll be right there!" ”

Meng Zhen was wearing a red athleisure suit today, a pair of white canvas shoes on his feet, and a small bag diagonally, and the whole person looked energetic.

Manager Fang opened the car door, he had rarely seen his assistant look so casual, and couldn't help but quip, "Well, don't say it, if you wear this, no one will believe that you are 30 years old." ”

Meng Zhen rolled his eyes in his heart, didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, got in the car, sat down, and closed the car door.

"What, I'm angry, when will you and your boyfriend get married, I'll give you a big red envelope!" Manager Fang is rare today, it is a joke and a gossip.

"Soon, I'll be the first to tell you when I get married!" Meng Zhen casually promised that there was no need for her to report her personal affairs to her superiors. Probably all the employees told the boss about their marriage for only one purpose: to ask for marriage leave!

When they arrived at Sunshine Villa, they picked up Aunt Hao, and the three of them went west along Jianshe Avenue under the guidance of the old man.

After about half an hour, the atmosphere of the city on both sides of the road became less and less, and gradually there were vegetable fields and wheat fields.

"Turn right at that gas station, yes, it'll be there in another five or six minutes......" Aunt Hao was behind Manager Fang, looking at the road conditions outside, while showing him the way.

Meng Zhen pressed the car window, and a cool wind with the smell of earth hit his face, which was refreshing.

Under the guidance of the old lady, the car turned north from Jianshe Avenue into a small road, and after about 10 minutes along the path, a small village appeared in everyone's field of vision. Large and small yards are scattered from the green hills in the distance in a "convex" shape, and the distance between each yard is large and small, not as neat as the urban community.

The car drove along the widest street in Zhuangzi, and some of the old people on the street sat and chatted together, and the children chased after me, and when they saw the car coming in, people looked at it and talked in a whisper.

"Whose relative is this, driving such a good car, listening to my second boy, this kind of car is hundreds of thousands?"

"Who knows, it is estimated that it is the Meng Lao Wu family on West Street, isn't their Meng Qingyu doing business in the city......"

"It's not their house, he came in this jeep the other day-"

"What kind of jeep, the secretary said, what kind of tiger is that, it's expensive, a car is millions"

"Why do you say that Meng Qingyu is so rich?"

“……”

In the village, the car did not drive fast, so it slowly came to the street, stopped and leaned against the locust tree on the side of the road.

"Auntie, have you arrived?" Manager Fang turned his head and asked.

"The house is on West Street, this street is the middle street, we have to get off the car, the road in front is too narrow, the car can't drive in, we just walk over, there are not a few steps. Xiao Meng, get out of the car,"

As he spoke, he opened the car door and beckoned Meng Zhen to get out of the car.

"Okay, Auntie, slow down," Meng Zhen came down from the other side.

Manager Fang checked the windows and closed the doors.

"Auntie, the air here is very good, you can see that the distance is only a few tens of kilometers, and the difference is quite big."

"No! We were going to retire here, grow some food and raise a bird, how nice, alas, not for the old man,"

Meng Zhen took the old lady's arm and chatted with her as she walked.

After walking for a few minutes, she came to a courtyard, and Aunt Hao pointed to the half-open black iron gate and said, "Here we are!" ”

This is a traditional brick house, red brick, the roof is not the kind with beams, but a flat roof of cement, and the whole house sits north and faces south.

She pushed the door open and led Meng Zhen and the others inside.

Meng Zhen looked carefully, walked into the gate, the yard was very large, and the yard was divided into two parts with a path paved with gravel, and there were a few trees planted on the west side, but the trees were bare, and I didn't know what to plant. There is also a tree planted on the east side near the room, which is estimated to be a pomegranate tree, which Meng Zhen has seen in the southern mountains, and in the farmhouse of Quancheng, people are used to planting a pomegranate tree by the window of the bedroom, which means "many sons and many grandchildren". There is a pond built with cement under the tree, and there is a well-laid well next to the pool, and there is no wellhead, only a motor is exposed, which should be the well for watering the yard. From the well to the door is a vegetable patch, planted with four rows of vegetables, and now it is just a sprout, and she can't tell what kind of vegetables it is at her agricultural level.

They walked along the gravel path, leading directly to the main room of the house, that is, the living room, the living room is very large, Meng Zhen estimated that it is about forty or fifty square meters, and the east and west sides of the living room are bedrooms. On the east side is the master bedroom, which now has a wooden bed with red lacquer, and there is nothing on the bed, and it is clear that no one lives in it. A small room in the master bedroom is the bathroom, and the tiles, vanity and toilet inside are all newly renovated and look new. On the west side is the second bedroom, which is about the same size as the master bedroom, and there is also a bathroom in it, but this bathroom is smaller than the master bedroom, and the toilet is much more basic. The second bedroom opens onto a room that can be used as a kitchen or as a utility room. This room has two doors and the second bedroom can be opened and from the outside as well.

"Xiao Meng, the house is probably like this, you can take a closer look, the walls inside have just been painted, the bathroom, and the kitchen have just been renovated this year. As for the furniture, we have prepared a few pieces simply, if you can use it to stay, if you don't like it, we will give it directly to the folks. ”

Aunt Hao took her, looking at it room by room, and made a brief introduction. At that time, the plan of the two of them was like this, maybe the little girl had other ideas.

"Very good, Auntie, I feel that this is very similar to the house I lived in when I was a child." There's a home away from home that she loves, and that's it!

The first time she saw this small courtyard, she had an indescribable feeling, very strange, no, it should be said that it was a wonderful feeling, standing here felt very relieved and satisfied!

She didn't know that the jade bracelet in her sleeve was changing, originally only surrounded by a trace of red light, but now it slowly turned into a faint red mist.

No one saw it!
