Chapter XXVII

By the time Ron trotted into the hotel with the packing boxes, the innkeeper was already waiting impatiently at the door.

It was already a little over twelve, and Ron checked out at twelve.

"Are you planning to stay here for another night?" said the innkeeper unkindly, "if not, then you should move all your luggage out now, you are getting in the way of my cleaning." ”

"Okay, I'll move things out now. ”

He and Anna didn't have much luggage, one suitcase per person, and Anna's satchel she had already carried out today.

When Ron packed his luggage and carried two suitcases and just went out, the innkeeper couldn't wait to urge the cleaning aunt to rush into the room and narrowly squeeze Ron to the ground.

Branslin is a city full of travelers forever, and innkeepers don't want to waste their time with these two people who have to bargain for even a hotel.

Ron muttered and walked to the door of the hotel with his suitcase. It didn't take long for him to see a red-haired girl coming from the path ahead.

"How was this morning? Have you seen Mr. Muse?"

Anna was in a good mood, she quickened her pace, and waved at Ron excitedly.

"Of course I see Mr. Muse, and my job is now set, and I can go to work tomorrow. ”

"That's good, Ron. Anna suddenly noticed the luggage in Ron's hand at this time, and she blinked, "What's going on?"

Ron shrugged, "Obviously, we're being kicked out. ”

"Whew, good luck!" Anna laughed, "I thought we would need to pack up on the street before I had time to get to the hotel." ”

"Heavenly Father bless. Ron laughed to himself.

The two found a bench on the side of the street and put their luggage aside. Ron placed the food he had brought from the embassy between the two of them, "It's a little cold, but it should taste good." ”

Steaks, cakes, noodles......

Anna frowned at the lunch, "You can't steal it, right?"

"Of course not," Ron replied, "I bought it at a restaurant, and the price was fair." ”

Ron didn't dare to say that he had packed it up at his place of work, and Anna would have scolded him for being a child.

"Even though you're now working, you can't spend lavishly, you know?" Anna advised, "You have to at least learn to save money, not spend it like you used to." You're an adult now, and you have to learn to plan for the future. ”

Ron nodded hurriedly, "Of course, I'm just thinking about celebrating. ”

Anna burst out laughing, "The first time I heard about the celebration was a meal on a bench on the side of the street. ”

I have to say that Brooks Campbell really deserves the title of head chef, and even though the food is cold now, you can still feel its deliciousness.

"By the way," Ron asked, "have you found a summer job?" Anna?"

"Of course, I got a job as a flower arranger at a flower shop near the University of Victoria, and I thought it would be a good fit for me. Anna replied, "And the lady of the flower shop has a ten-year-old son, and after hearing that I am going to be a student at the University of Victoria, she has told me more than once that she is willing to pay me to teach his son." But I'm reluctant now, I've been a tutor for three years, from high school all the way to now, can't I stay away from these annoying kids?"

"Of course you can, and you don't need to force yourself to do things that you don't like to do. At this point, Ron pointed to himself, "You know, Branslin's salary is very good. ”

"Prices are just as high. Anna thought of something, "By the way, have you asked around where there are cheap rents?"

Ron nodded, "Of course, we'll be able to check it out after lunch." ”

Miss Lina from the Finance Department was very familiar with the surrounding area, and she gave Ron a lot of advice, and after considering that Ron's sister might need to work near the University of Victoria every day and go to the University of Victoria in the future, she gave Ron an address.

Oak Block.

This neighborhood is located right next to Queensland Ersfield and happens to form an equilateral triangle with the Holy Alliance Embassy and the University of Victoria. And, despite its good location, the neighborhood has the cheapest rent compared to other places because the buildings inside are very old, which is close to Ron's heart.

After lunch, Ron and Anna walked towards the Oak Block.

It took about half an hour for the two to reach their destination.

Oak Quarter is indeed a very old neighborhood, and when you walk here, you feel like you have walked from Branslin to Chauschen, and the buildings on both sides of the street reveal a sense of age.

And with the bustle and bustle of Branslin, this neighborhood is much quieter, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and the streets are planted with lush oak trees, which is the most suitable place to live.

Miss Lina has said that the Oak Quarter seems to be undergoing a makeover, and that perhaps by this time next year, all the buildings here will be demolished and the same imposing high-rise buildings as Ersfil will be built.

She also vaguely revealed to Ron that if Ron could meet the old and dizzy old people who lived alone, he might be able to buy the right to live from them, and he would definitely make a lot of money in the future.

"I loved this place. "Anna walks down the leafy streets, closing her eyes and enjoying the dappled sunlight that streams from between the leaves.

"Me too," Ron lamented, "and it's rare to have such a quiet neighborhood in such a bustling city." ”

Then he remembered what Miss Lina had said, and felt that it was a pity to demolish the street.

In a bustling city like Branslin, most young people are not satisfied with this kind of accommodation, and they want a more lively and vibrant place.

As a result, many of the houses in Oak Block have been vacant, and most of the people who live here are elderly, especially the elderly.

Following the advertisement posted on the tree, Ron came to a small building.

He walked up to the third floor and knocked on the door to the room on the left.

Soon, a vigilant question came from inside the door, "Who is it?"

Listen to the voice, it's a young lady.

Ron replied, "We came here following an advertisement, and I heard you have a house for rent here?"

There was silence behind the door for a moment, and then the young lady's voice sounded again, "Grandma, someone wants to ask about our house. ”

After a few moments, the doorknob turned slightly, and behind the door stood an old woman with gray hair.

Ron was slightly surprised, because the old woman was the same one sitting across from him and Anna on the railcar.

The old woman was also surprised, and she smiled: "I really didn't expect it to be you, when I got out of the car, I forgot to thank you for waking me up, I thought I would never have a chance to express my gratitude to you again." ”

"It's just a gesture. Anna replied with a smile.

"Come, come in. The old woman beckoned Ron and Anna through the door, and served them a cup of coffee, "How did you find here?"

"We were planning to rent a house to live in, and my friend told us that the price in Oak Block was the cheapest. Then, we saw the ad you posted downstairs, and we found this place. ”

"It's really fate. The old woman smiled from ear to ear.

After a little chat, Ron made a request to see the house. The old woman quickly agreed, and then she called her granddaughter, took the key, and went out of the room.

The old woman's other room was on the fourth floor to the left, and she opened the door for Ron and Anna to enter, "This house is no longer occupied, but I clean it every week so that too much dust does not fall." ”

After entering the door, there is a small living room with a brown Alvana totem pattern carpet and two dark sofas in the living room. Adjacent to the wall is a wine cabinet with small sculptures, empty wine bottles, and other knick-knacks, and a large horn of an elk on the wall to decorate it.

To the left of the living room is a small balcony with a set of wooden tables and chairs, and the oak trees downstairs extend their branches into the balcony, adding a touch of greenery.

Anna loved the balcony.

"Here are the two bedrooms, here is the bathroom, and the shower room is right next door to the bathroom. You can go inside the room and have a look. The young lady patiently introduced, "Oh, by the way, this is the kitchen, and the little room is the study. ”

After Ron and Anna had finished their circle, the young lady said, "The furniture here is very old, but it is still usable, you can keep it, and we will not charge extra money." But if you're looking for a different set of furniture, then I hope you'll tell us about it, because some of them my grandma really likes. ”

"No, no, no, it's already good. Ron hurriedly said, "So the price?"

"A week is a silver bill and fifty copper bills, and you can pay for the coin. If you want to rent, you need to pay one month's rent in advance, and you need to pay a deposit of ten silver coins. ”

That's six silver coins a month, which is almost half the price I asked about yesterday. Ron's monthly pay was twenty silver coins, and he could afford to rent the house.

And the advance money, as well as the deposit, was sixteen silver coins, which gave him a bit of a headache.

Ron thought to himself.

After hearing the price, Anna seemed to hesitate, in her opinion, it was already expensive.

Ron said, "We can rent this house, but may I ask if I can pay the deposit first, and then make up the rent for this month and the advance for a month after a month?"

The young lady was a little overwhelmed, and he turned to look at the old woman.

The old woman chuckled, "Of course, this can be regarded as my belated thanks. ”
