It's winter heating season. Zhang Xu came to me again and said, "Now it's time to heat up, you have to pay more for electricity." “

"Okay." I happily agreed, because it was a very reasonable request. I have no reason to refuse, is it? Even if he doesn't say it, I'll have to bring it up? I can't take advantage of him, let alone him, even if it's anyone, I'd rather suffer than take advantage. It's a character I've cultivated since I was a kid.

"Usually the electricity bill is fifty a month, and you can give me another three hundred yuan for the heating bill, three hundred and five, what do you think?"

"Okay, three hundred and five is three hundred and five." I said happily. In fact, I knew in my heart that with an electricity bill of 350 yuan a month, Zhang Xu must have asked for more money from me. I have been renting a house for more than a year, and in the winter I also turn on the air conditioner, so I know how much I can use in a month.

Based on the size of the house I live in now and the time I have been home, I don't think I can use the electricity bill of 200 yuan a month. Because of the state subsidy, the electricity bill at night is a dime, and there is also a subsidy for money during the heating period. Therefore, the money that Zhang Xu asked me for was far greater than the actual amount of money.

But I don't want to bother with him for a hundred or two hundred dollars.

Zhang Xu saw that I agreed very happily, and he felt quite surprised. Maybe he thinks I'll talk to him about the price? He is a man of careful eyes, and a man who loves money as much as his life, and every penny is good in his heart. When he was working in the factory, he took everything home, and even when he ate, he even took a head of garlic home, and I said him more than once, although he was somewhat restrained, but his character of taking advantage of small advantages has not changed at all.

"Then you can pay me first." Zhang Xu said.

"Okay, didn't I always give you the money first?" I say. When the day comes for you to use the heating, I'll transfer the money to you. I say.

Although it is his own home heating, he can do it at any time, and he does not need to follow the regulations until November 15th, but Zhang Xu is such a person, he is reluctant to burn this electricity first before the heating period.

Originally, I was a very cold person, I told him to let him burn a few days earlier, and I would give him more money, but he said to me, then you give me an extra hundred yuan, and I will give you a few days in advance. I was very disgusted when I saw his insatiable appearance, so I said angrily: "Do you like to burn or not, anyway, I am at home when I get off work at night, and I am not at home during the day." ”

Starting from November 15th, Zhang Xu said that he would let me pay half a month first, because it would be a whole month later. Half a month is one hundred and seventy-five yuan, and I gave him two hundred yuan, which is considered to be a little more for him, and make up a whole number.

In December, I gave him three hundred and fifty dollars. I thought it would be gone. But at the beginning, it was better, because the weather was not too cold, so the temperature in the house was okay. But as the temperature outside gets cooler and lower, so does the temperature inside the house. I used to love the cold the most, and I felt cold at normal temperatures, but now the house is as simple as a water cellar, and I shiver every day. I don't know how Zhang Xu and his mother survived. Zhang Xu's mother never went to the living room to watch TV again. I don't know how she spends her bedroom every day, and I don't know if her room is as cold as mine. I thought maybe she was secretly burning the electric heater in the house.

It's so cold, every time Zhang Xu sees me, he always says that I pay less for electricity. I said, "Didn't you say you wanted three hundred and fifty dollars?" ”

"That was at the beginning, but now it's getting colder and colder day by day, and my electricity bill is more than 1,000 yuan a month, so how can you give 350 yuan?"

"How can you afford more than a thousand yuan for electricity? Don't you know how cold your house is right now? I have never lived in such a cold house since I was a child. I said angrily to Zhang Xu. I think he must have done something wrong with me on purpose. Again, I just want to squeeze this out of this yard. Because he knew that I was the most afraid of the cold. I think his mother can't stand the cold of this living room when she doesn't come out to watch TV in the bedroom every day. Not only did she not come out every day, but when I was resting, I saw her drawing the curtains during the day. I think she must have been burning the electric heater in the house, or the electric heater, I'm afraid I saw it, otherwise, why didn't she open the curtains in broad daylight? Looks like I'm alone.

"Is this house cold? Where is this room cold? I don't get cold in a shirt. There is also an old lady who is so old, and she doesn't say it's cold, you just cry cold all day long. ”

"Are you a shirt? Is it okay to have a furry shirt on the inside? Besides, do you still have clothes in your shirt? And your mother, I don't know why she's not cold. Maybe it's because she's staying under the covers all day? "Because I didn't see her burn the electric heater, just guessing, so I won't say what I haven't seen easily. It can only be said that maybe she is not cold because she always can't come out of the bed. “

"You want the house to be warm, and you don't want to pay more? If you want the temperature to come up, you can pay me an extra 200 yuan a month, and I'll adjust the temperature up. Zhang Xu said to me.

I was so angry. I knew in my heart that even if I paid him more, he wouldn't raise the temperature. Because he wanted me to go. But I can't do my job now, and I think I might as well find a home, and if that were the case, I would have suffered less sin.

To find out exactly how many degrees are in the house, I bought a thermometer online. After I bought the thermometer, when I came back in the evening, I found that the temperature in the house was less than 10 degrees. What's room temperature? The country's rule is still eighteen degrees. That's so low. This can't help but speak.

So when I saw Zhang Xu again, I said to him: "Zhang Xu, look at it, the temperature in this room is not even ten degrees now." “

After Zhang Xu saw what I said, he didn't know whether he really didn't believe it or pretended, he was very surprised and said to me: "Impossible, I measured it in the old lady's room yesterday and it was almost 20 degrees, why are you only 10 degrees?" ”

"Just look at the thermometer."

After Zhang Xu listened to my words, he really went into the room and looked at the thermometer, and then said, "How is this possible?" ”

"Can I fake this thermometer too?" I was angry at Zhang Xu's questioning.

"Then I can't help it, I can't afford to burn this electricity now, I only paid the electricity bill of 200 yuan a few days ago, and now there are no words, I still have to pay it in a while, you don't know, I burn 1,500 yuan of electricity a month at most." Zhang Xu said with a helpless look.

"Can you say something a little bit? I've never heard of a 1,500 yuan electricity bill a month? ”
