Chapter 187: Renting a house
Wu Xiuying also thought that her son-in-law hadn't come back anyway, and she wouldn't see anyone in the town, so it was better to take care of Xiaoyu'er's illness here.
It's just that the people here are not familiar with the place, and they don't know where to find a house for a while, and their accent is not local, and it is not good to be coaxed to high the price.
But when I was buying milk powder for Xiao Yu'er, I met a lady, and I heard her talking to the proprietress in the store, "My son and daughter-in-law called and won't come back for the New Year this year, you said that I have cleaned the house and everything is ready, but now he can't come back, there are only two old people left in such a big house, and there is an echo in this speech...... This is also unconscionable, he said that he would come back for the New Year, and said that his daughter-in-law was sick and would not return this year...... Don't you see that you forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law? The old man of my family has not eaten well for a few days because of this, watching other people's families have children and grandchildren, and some are talking and laughing. We all want to rent a house and go out, so that it will not be so lonely, and we can still earn two dollars. ”
The proprietress of the grocery store said: "It's okay to rent it out, your house is big, there are so many rooms, you two old people are really lonely at home, but where is this house so easy to rent?" Although we have a few factories here, but the factories all include accommodation, and there are really few people on our side who rent houses. ”
Zhou Cheng thought of his family when he heard it, didn't he just want to rent a house?
looked at the lady who spoke, cool and kind, although the clothes were not glamorous, but the clothes on her head and face were very clean, and she was not the kind of person who was difficult to get along with.
The eldest lady also sighed after listening to the proprietress words, "It's not, we're just thinking like this, it's uncertain whether we can find someone to rent." ”
"Auntie, where is your house?" Wu Xiuying asked with a smile. I bought two bags of milk powder for Xiao Yu'er, and just finished settling the account, I didn't rush to leave, and looked at this lady.
The proprietress and the eldest lady looked at Zhou Cheng's family of four, and their eyes lit up, "Ouch, are you renting a house?" ”
Wu Xiuying said with a smile: "Yes, my son-in-law is a soldier here, but he hasn't come back from the mission, and it's not very convenient to live in the army, so we want to come out and rent a house for a month or two, I heard that this eldest sister has a vacant house at home, right?" ”
The eldest lady has looked at them completely, but she is also quite satisfied, especially I heard that they have a family here as soldiers, and it looks safe, so she said: "Yes, I have six bungalows in my house, and there are usually three that no one lives in, this year's son will not come back for the New Year, only our two old men are left, this is the New Year, there is no popularity in the family, and our two old ones also feel that it is not interesting, so I think that if someone rents it, we will rent out the house, you can rest assured that our home is clean and tidy, and there is furniture and everything, If you have time now, I can take you there. ”
It was just a hit-off.
The eldest lady's house is not far away, it is also the city center, and the transportation is quite convenient, just in the alley next to the store where you buy milk powder, less than a hundred meters away.
She took Zhou Cheng's family to a bungalow with a yard, which, as she said, had six bungalows in a row and a spacious yard.
“…… Usually just me and my wife, a few days ago thinking that my son came back I have cleaned the inside, now the weather is cold, our room here is through the kang, put a few pieces of coal in the evening, but it is warm......" The eldest lady said while taking them into the yard, and when she entered the yard, she called out to the wife in the house, telling him that he had brought someone to see the house.
The eldest mother's wife looked like a more serious old man, and she took a look out of the house, and didn't say anything, just let the eldest lady take the guests to see it, and went in after speaking.
The eldest lady smiled and said to Zhou Cheng's family: "My old man doesn't usually like to talk, but he likes to be lively, the neighbor's children come to play, he always takes out a few out to the children like a trick, and he is very envious of watching other people's homes lively." ”
After speaking, I took the Zhou family to see the three rooms for rent, the three rooms are connected together, and the specifications of a small living room and two rooms are connected together, the two rooms are about ten square meters, and there is a half-sized kang in the room, and there are cabinets in it, and the small living room has a simple table and a storage cabinet, although it is simple, but it is clean and bright as the aunt said.
Then I looked at the kitchen, the kitchen is shared with the eldest mother, in another room, this is not a requirement, when the time comes, pots and pans are bought separately.
Zhou Cheng looked at his parents' expressions, they were quite satisfied.
"How? Not bad, right? The eldest lady asked with a smile.
Wu Xiuying smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good, how much is the rent for your one living room and two rooms?" ”
Speaking of which, their family has also rented a house for others, and they also know the tenant's routine, some tenants will pick some unsatisfactory places in the house, hoping to make the rent cheaper.
But Wu Xiuying really likes this house, so she doesn't need that set of price reduction routines.
"I see that you are also kind-looking, and I don't plan to raise your money, how about twenty yuan a month?" The eldest lady asked.
Zhou Zhengming and Wu Xiuying glanced at each other, and saw a satisfied look in the eyes of both parties.
"Okay, the price is moderate, we don't plan to bargain, I hope we live in and take care of it."
The eldest lady was even happier, "Okay, if you have anything to help with or don't understand in the future, come and ask us." ”
This matter is good, Zhou Zhengming has experience in this matter and took the initiative to sign a rental contract with the eldest mother, rent for a month, and also press the rent for a month, and if you rent it again after a month, you will continue to rent it at this price.
rented the house, Wu Xiuying stayed with Xiao Yu'er, and Zhou Cheng and Zhou Zhengming went out to buy daily necessities.
In the evening, I had already tidied up the house, bought daily necessities, and asked where the Da Niang market was, and bought the vegetables back.
Sleeping on the warm kang at night, the Zhou family finally had a good night's sleep.
Although Xiao Yu'er still had a little cough, she was better when she was on the train.
Wu Xiuying went to the pharmacy to grab some Chinese medicine and came back, and gave the little fish a bath, and the child looked more energetic.
After settling down here, he called Hong Liqiang and He Jianrong to arrive safely.
Zhou Cheng also told Hong Liqiang the address he rented here, his family didn't know anyone here, so it was better to keep an eye on it, if something happened, someone would know that they were renting here.
