thirty-three

Hearing Zhang Xu say that his ex-wife may not die one day, I feel a little chill after listening to it, even if his ex-wife is no longer wrong, but after living together for 20 years, there must be some family affection without love, right? Besides, there is a child between them. How can you say such heartless words?

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now, I'll go stir-fry, you should be hungry too." Zhang Xu and I don't want to discuss such topics anymore. Because I know that there is no point in saying anything more. Hearing what Zhang Xu said, he knew that he had decided that he would not build a house, so let's go outside to rent a house. Anyway, he can't resist him, so why bother talking?

"Okay, then you hurry up and cook, and when we're done eating, I'll take you to town to have a look." Zhang Xu said.

I didn't say anything more and went to the kitchen to cook. At this time, Zhang Xu came out and said to me, "Wen Li, have you cut all the dishes?" ”

"yes." I replied.

"Then I'll fry it." Zhang Xu said. Zhang Xu is good at cooking, and the dishes he makes are better than mine. So when we used to get off work together, I mostly cut the vegetables and let him fry them. But now I didn't go to work, so I thought about firing him in order to give him a little more rest.

"You better sit in the room for a while, you're tired of the day. I'll just do it, and I'll be fine in a while. ”

"What is stir-frying to me? Not tired. You can just watch from the side, I'll fry it. Saying that, Zhang Xu really came over and prepared to stir-fry.

Seeing this, I no longer insisted. Zhang Xu told me to watch from the side, and I watched from the side. Because I know Zhang Xu's character, if he works, even if I don't do it, then I have to watch him from the side to be happy.

That's how he stir-fryed, and I watched. Zhang Xu asked me while he was busy: "When I came back just now, I asked if you went to the town to see the house, and you didn't answer me, did you go?" “

"I went, but I just took a general look, and I didn't see any rental houses." I replied.

"Did you take those two streets?" Zhang Xu asked me again.

"No, I was too tired to walk, so I came back." I didn't tell Zhang Xu that I didn't have the heart to look at it carefully because I had something on my mind.

"You're wearing high heels again?"

"Yes," Actually, I didn't wear high heels, because I answered like that in order to follow Zhang Xu's words.

"It's no wonder that you're not tired of walking so far in high heels." Zhang Xu said

When he had finished, I did not answer.

After Zhang Xu finished frying the dishes and we had eaten together, he took me to town on a motorcycle. When we got there, Zhang Xu found a place, put his motorcycle away, and we walked along the bustling street.

I said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, you look to the left, I look to the right." “

"Okay." Zhang Xu replied to me. So the two of us walked down the street, looking to see if there were any storefronts for rent or subletting. But until I got to the end, I didn't see anything for rent. So we turned a corner and walked down another street. Finally, I saw a house for rent.

I hurriedly said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, look, there is a rental one." “

Zhang Xu also turned his head and looked in the direction of my finger: "Really, it looks quite big, let's go in and have a look." “

With that, the two of us crossed the street and walked towards the rented house.

When I got to the door, I saw that the door was locked and there was a contact number on it. I said to Zhang Xu, "There's a phone call here, you can call and take a look." ”

So Zhang Xu called according to the phone number: "Excuse me, is your house going to be rented?" ”

"Yes."

"I'm right at the door of the house, could you come over and let us go in and have a look?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Okay, you wait, I'll be right over." The voice on the phone replied.

After Zhang Xu hung up the phone, the two of us stood at the door and waited for the landlord to arrive. Soon the landlord arrived, a middle-aged woman who was slightly older than us.

She looked at me and Zhang Xu and asked, "Are you going to rent a house?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

"Shall you go in and have a look?" With that, she took out the key and opened the door. Zhang Xu and I walked in with the landlord.

When I walked in, this house was quite spacious, about thirty or forty square meters. It's okay to put down the machine and the fabric. But the house is very dilapidated. Many of the surrounding walls have fallen off, white and gray, and they look particularly embarrassed. Looking up, the roof of the shed is also very dilapidated.

Zhang Xu asked the landlord: "How much is the rent of your house?" ”

"Twenty thousand six thousand years." I was shocked when I heard it, it's such a broken house, 26,000 a year?

"Are you responsible for the decoration or not?" Zhang Xu asked again.

"It's not responsible, what you want to pretend to be, it's your own business, we just have to rent a house. Because each tenant has different requirements for decoration, whoever rents is to decorate by himself. Said the landlord.

After that, he asked us, "What are you renting a house for?" ”

"We want to open a clothing store." I replied.

"Is it for sale? Or do it? ”

"Yes, even making clothes and changing zippers or something. There are also selling points, the fabric of the bed sheets, the quilt cover, and so on. I said.

"That's right, our house is big enough to fit all the things you said. And the location of our house is also good, you see this street, the flow of customers is also large. How appropriate is it to rent? ”

"It's big enough, but your house is too dilapidated, can you ask for a little less rent?" Zhang Xu asked.

"It couldn't be less. It's always been twenty-six. The last tenant just left. “

"Twenty-six thousand is really a bit expensive, besides, we still have to decorate. If you're cheaper, we'll rent it. Zhang Xu said.

"Twenty thousand six thousand is the lowest price, you see if you think it's appropriate, put some gold, if you think it's not suitable, then go to someone else's place and take a look." The attitude of the landlord was resolute. I can see that there is no room for negotiation.

So I said, "Okay, let's go home and discuss it first, do you think it's okay?" “

"If you want to rent it, put some money here, and I won't rent it to others."

Because I didn't think the house was worth the price, I didn't want to rent it. Of course, there will be no more pressure on gold. So I said, "If someone else is watching, let them see it first." We'll go home and talk about it. If we have negotiated and want to rent, we will come tomorrow, and if we don't want to rent, we will not come. “

"Then after you leave today, if anyone comes to see you, I won't keep it for you."

"Okay, if someone looks at it, you can let them see it." I say. After saying that, Zhang Xu and I walked out of the house.

After coming out, Zhang Xu asked me, "Wen Li, what do you think of this house?" “

"It's quite spacious, and the location is OK, but it's too expensive, and it's broken. If we renovate it ourselves, we will have to spend a lot of money, right? I asked Zhang Xu.

"Well, I can't get eighteen thousand." Zhang Xu said.
