Chapter 462: Renting a Room
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, Xu Dong drove out early in the morning, and the street was deserted, without any New Year's atmosphere.
A few years ago, he was still lamenting that the "New Year's flavor" was back, but he didn't expect that now it is not as good as a year.
After a lap, it was already noon.
For this year's New Year's greetings, he gave each family a pound of sugar and a pound of dried shrimp, although the gift is not much, but it is definitely a heavy gift.
A few insisted on paying in order to avoid suspicion.
Several other families sent some gifts as return gifts, such as Director Su gave a bag of shredded squid weighing half a catty, and Song Lin's family sent five catties of braised tofu.
Xu Dong was not polite, and took it all.
Back at home, the family was having lunch, Aunt Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also there, and the two children were also brought over, Xu Dong smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
"Aunt Wang, Sister Zheng, Happy New Year!"
Wang Xiujuan smiled: "Xiao Xu, are you back, have you eaten?" ”
"Not yet, I've been running all morning, and I'm already hungry." Xu Dong touched his stomach and said bitterly.
Yang Lina quickly stood up and went to the kitchen to help her husband fill a bowl of rice.
After lunch, Xu's mother stopped her youngest son.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"Your Aunt Wang helped the boss find a house for their family, wait for you to drive us over to have a look, if it is suitable, rent it today."
Mother Xu replied.
"Isn't it okay to come to the door on the first day of the new year?"
"It's okay, I heard your Aunt Wang say that the family is about to go abroad and wants to rent out the house as soon as possible."
Xu Dong looked stunned: "There are still people who are in a hurry to go abroad now?" ”
"It's not what you think, people go abroad to work, stay for a few years and come back." Xu Ma explained.
"Work abroad? What do you do? Which country are you going to visit? ”
"I heard that it is a coal company, it is going to kangaroo country, and I will set off on the fourth day of junior high school."
Xu Dong nodded: "It's quite early, okay, it's okay in the afternoon, I'll go over with you to have a look." ”
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Dong drove a group of people to a community called Jingzhiyuan according to the address given by Aunt Wang.
Wang Xiujuan pointed to a huge arched door and said: "This is it, it is opposite the Yanjing Daily, less than 500 meters away." ”
"Yes, the neighborhood looks new."
Mother Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"Of course, the community was only completed in 07 years, and it has been less than 20 years now!"
Xu Dong frowned: "Why are they all high-level?" ”
Although Yanjing is not short of electricity, it cannot avoid power outages, especially the further back, with the aging of the circuit system, power outages will become more and more frequent.
"It's okay, the house introduced by your Aunt Wang is on the fifth floor, you can go up by climbing the stairs, and you are not afraid of power outages."
Xu Ma smiled and waved her hand.
There is a doorman at the entrance of the community, and the management is very strict, strangers are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving, Wang Xiujuan made a phone call, until the landlord personally came down to pick up people, and the security guard was willing to let him go.
Xu Ma nodded again and again: "Good management, safety is the most important." ”
"Who's to say it's not, the security hasn't been very good lately." Wang Xiujuan echoed.
Ten minutes later, it was time to get to the place.
The landlord opened the door and took the crowd on a general tour of the house.
This house is about more than 90 square meters, with a two-bedroom and a living room layout, and the overall decoration is very good, with all kinds of electrical appliances and furniture.
Xu Bin was very satisfied with it, and asked directly:
"Mr. Li, how much does your house cost a month?"
The landlord was very cheerful: "You were introduced by Aunt Wang, I must be trustworthy, so I won't take your deposit."
As for the rent, I'm going to go abroad for business soon, and I'm going to go for several years, so I can only rent it on an annual basis, 60,000 yuan a year. ”
60,000 yuan per year, 5,000 yuan per month, slightly lower than the market price.
In the past year, as Yanjing has gradually tightened its settlement policy and increased the supply of public rental housing, the local rent level has decreased to varying degrees.
"Can it be cheaper?"
Tan Aifang tried to bargain.
Wang Xiujuan immediately followed and persuaded: "Xiao Li, their family can rent for a long time, can you give a little more discount?" ”
"Well, if you're willing to rent for three years, I can charge 10,000 less, but you have to pay the rent in one lump sum."
"No problem, we'll rent it for three years."
Xu Bin hurriedly agreed.
Because it was introduced by an acquaintance, it was impossible for Aunt Wang to cheat their family out of such a small amount of money, and the group didn't even look at the real estate certificate.
Subsequently, the two parties signed a rental contract, and Xu's mother paid the rent for three years at one time.
The landlord received the rent, left the keys and left.
Xu Bin was a little embarrassed: "Mom, we have money, we can pay the rent ourselves." ”
"Okay, don't be polite to your mother, keep your own money, let's live a good life!"
Mother Xu smiled and comforted.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
Xu Jingyi looked happy, with a house, their family finally settled down in the capital.
"Say thank you to grandma, come back a few more times when you have time, grandma will make you something to eat."
Mother Xu admonished.
Tan Aifang hurriedly promised: "Mom, we go to see you and Dad every weekend." ”
Xu Jingyi nodded.
"Girl, you are not young, if there is a suitable one, remember to bring it back to grandma, grandma will check it for you."
"Grandma, am I still young?"
"It's not small, when grandma is as old as you, your dad will make soy sauce."
Mother Xu smiled.
Wang Xiujuan took the opportunity to ask: "Jingyi, do you want Grandma Wang to help you introduce a boyfriend?" Grandma Wang assures you that he is definitely a handsome guy. ”
"Grandma Wang, let's wait until my job is stable, how can I have the heart to fall in love now?"
Xu Jingyi hurriedly excused herself.
"Okay, Grandma Wang will help you keep it, you can see each other whenever you want."
Wang Xiujuan looked very enthusiastic.
The eldest granddaughter of the old Zhang family, although she is not from the "lineage".
But the little girl is a graduate of a famous university, has a good temperament, works in the system, and has a good family background.
The only drawback.
Well, it's not a shortcoming, it should be said that it's a pity, the little girl's appearance is too ordinary, at most it's delicate, but fortunately, it's white and fat, but it's a lot of extra points.
But then again, some families would rather find an ordinary-looking one than marry a "fox girl", which makes the family restless.
Tan Aifang carefully looked at the two rooms, the things were very complete, and they could move in with their bags, so they secretly discussed it with her husband.
Immediately after, she came to her mother-in-law:
"Mom, we're going to move in tomorrow."
Mother Xu complained: "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay at home for a few more days, and I'll make up for it. ”
"Grandma, make up for it, I'm almost fat into a little fat pig." Xu Jingyi said coquettishly.
"Mom, if you want to clean up this house, it will take at least a few days, while the third child is at home, just enough to rub his car."
Xu Bin also wanted to move out early.
Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time, it is more comfortable to move out and live, and in addition, he also wants to start his collection business as soon as possible.
