56, New Hope
There is also a secondary road in front of the door, and after the road is the embankment of the canal.
Enron often passed by here to get to and from the library, knowing that it was a one-way street, and there was a bus stop not far from the store, and there were a few people waiting for the bus standing on the platform looking in the direction of the bus.
To be precise, the store was converted from a residential building facing the street.
This residential building is quite old, gray color, and the age of the building is also a bit old, it is said that in the early days of liberation, it was specially built for those Soviet experts who came to China to assist in construction.
It's not this one, but from this building, there are six along the banks of the canal.
If you can ignore their dirty colors and the messy appearance that has been changed by the residents - for example, these shops on the street are remodeled from the original residents.
From an architectural point of view alone, in fact, this row of old buildings with a clear Soviet-style architectural style is quite tasteful.
Although both the pedestrians passing by them and the residents living in them are now dismissive of them, and even wish to get a notice from the municipal government to arrange demolition, so that these old buildings can be demolished and rebuilt.
Others may not know, but An Ran clearly knows that the city government did not issue a notice of demolition until she was reborn.
Perhaps even in many years, the residents' wish for demolition will not be realized.
Because in a few years, a new mayor of the city will vigorously develop tourism in this small town, and some old buildings that can find even a little bit of character and history have been vigorously repaired and developed.
This row of old buildings has become a key development project because of its distinctive architectural features, as well as its unique history, and along the canal.
The old buildings were renovated and reinforced, so that the mess is gone, and the buildings are decently tidyed, and seem to have been rejuvenated, with a bit of the aristocratic air of the old tsarist era - this is not Enron's statement, but a city newspaper at the time praised the renovation.
Whether there is aristocracy or not, Enron can't be seen, anyway, in the modern more and more cookie-knit matchbox-like buildings, these old buildings are really good-looking.
Coupled with the renovated canal in front of the door, the branch of a university in the province built just one stop away, and the library with a beautiful courtyard where Enron borrowed books every week, it has formed a famous scenic and cultural area in the city.
Today's mahjong clubs, steamed bun shops, Internet cafes, and snack bars will gradually be replaced by coffee shops, bakeries, bars, book bars, high-end Internet cafes, western restaurants, galleries and other shops in the future, attracting petty bourgeois white-collar characters in the city and other cities.
Housing prices here will also soar from almost no one at this time.
Anyway, the trend after many years is like that, there is a collection craze everywhere, some people collect calligraphy and paintings, some people collect porcelain, some people collect jade, and some people are happy to collect old buildings.
For example, to get a set of courtyard houses in the imperial capital, it is said that it can only be done with power, money and luck.
In such a small town, it is also a beautiful thing to collect an old house where you can see the river, hear the whistle of barges, and be located in the cultural circle.
Of course, Enron only sighed.
If you have the money, it is a good investment to buy a set at this time when the housing prices here are incredibly cheap, whether it is for your own residence or selling and subletting in the future.
But now, all she cares about is how much rent is here.
She walked over to the door and pushed the glass door, only to find that it had been chained from the inside.
In front of the dusty glass door, An Ran tried his best to look inside, and after roughly estimating the area of this store, he didn't delay too much, pushed the bicycle parked on the side, and rode quickly towards home.
Panting and pushing open the door, she was greeted by the coldness of the room.
An Guoqing and Li Caifeng were not at home, and they were probably wandering around the streets again, looking for a store for rent.
An Ran put the book on the shelf, opened his English textbook, sat at the table but couldn't settle down, and from time to time he turned to her loud alarm clock on the table.
I waited for more than an hour in such a daze, and the door of the house was opened by An Guoqing and Li Caifeng with a key.
Before they could push the door open, she immediately ran to the door calmly, so that her parents, who had just entered the door, were startled by her.
"Ouch, it scared me, this kid has been quite stable lately, what's wrong today, so hairy." Li Caifeng gently patted An Ran's back.
An Ran smiled embarrassedly: "Isn't it like I haven't seen you for a day, think?" ”
An Guoqing and Li Caifeng both laughed: "Don't see someone who talks nonsense with such eyes, most of the time it takes a while, it's just a day?" ”
"How's it going, Dad, Mom, have you gained anything?" An Ran asked pretending to be relaxed.
An Guoqing was fine, and shook his head as if he didn't care: "It's so easy to find, take your time." ”
Li Caifeng sighed: "Alas, don't mention it, your father and I have almost run most of the city, but we haven't found a one that suits us, either too big, too expensive, or the location is not good." ”
When An Ran heard this, he didn't say much: "Dad, Mom, on the way back from borrowing books today, I saw a shop for rent, and I looked okay." You are not tired, if you are not tired......"
Before she finished her words, she was immediately interrupted by Li Caifeng: "What are you tired of, how big can that store be, where is it, and how much is the rent a month?" ”
As soon as he heard that there was new hope, Li Caifeng, who had just been weathered and tired, immediately came to his senses.
An Ran knew her mood, so she simply walked back to the house and put on her coat as she spoke: "It's on the edge of the canal, where the row of old Soviet Russian houses is, as for the size, I look okay." However, there was no one in the house at that time, and the door was plastered with a rental post, and there were phone numbers and contacts. ”
After saying this, her coat was also put on, and she wanted to push the door and go out when she put on her shoes, but she was pulled by Li Caifeng, who was still in a hurry just now, and carefully brought her a hat and scarf to put on, and took gloves for her to put on: "Look at you girl, you are not afraid of the cold at this time, although you are in a hurry, but you are not in a hurry to this extent." ”
An Ran smiled embarrassedly, her heart was really anxious.
Before An Guoqing and Li Caifeng agreed to her plan, she could still maintain a calm and casual mentality, feeling that it didn't matter if her parents were opposed to her plan.
