The meal was almost finished, and it was still early, so Ding Xiu immediately decided to take a look.

When they went out, the three of them took a taxi to the intermediary company and went to see the house with the intermediary.

"Two-bedroom, but also have a courtyard, only the courtyard that meets your requirements, everyone knows the price of the courtyard in Beiping, a few years ago Cheng Long bought eight sets of old and dilapidated and spent four million."

"But don't worry, it's a good location, we just live in it every day, and it's not a big problem if the location is a little off."

"The alley in front of it is convenient, the supermarket is a few minutes away, the bus stop, and it only takes half an hour to run to the park in the morning."

"The people who come here are college students, white-collar workers, teachers, artists who play music and art, and the relative environment is not so bad."

In the depths of the alley, the intermediary pushed open two gates, and a small courtyard appeared in front of Ding Xiu.

The place is very small, there are three houses in total, one in the middle, one on the left and one on the left, the house is very old, I don't know how many years it has not been repaired, and it doesn't look beautiful at all.

The yard is not big, more than 20 flat, the bluestone slabs on the ground turn uneven and convex, and you will break your feet if you are not careful.

"Don't look a little broken, but it's not me who blows, if you buy this yard, you can't get it without more than 200,000 yuan."

"Just more than 200,000?" Ding Xiu said subconsciously.

The house price in Beiping is more than 3,000, and a house is generally more than 200,000 yuan.

Because of the same price, people can live in a new house, who lives in this old broken yard, the car can't get in, and it's not safe to be dark at night.

Of course, more than 200,000 yuan is not expensive based on Ding Xiu's income, and paying a part of the down payment first and the rest in installments is not much pressure on him.

For ordinary people, it takes more than 30 years without eating or drinking to afford it.

"Brother, don't be impulsive." Hearing Ding Xiu say that it was not expensive, thinking that he was going to buy it, Wang Baoqiang stopped him: "It's not cost-effective to buy this house, Beiping is building real estate everywhere, and the new community comes out, and it will be worthless here in a few years." ”

"If you really want to buy it, wait, we can rent a house first, and then buy it when the price is lowered."

"Okay, Baoqiang, I didn't expect you to understand houses." Ding Xiu was a little surprised.

Wang Baoqiang scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Actually, I don't know much about it, I read what experts say in the newspaper." ”

The corners of Qin Gang's mouth twitched, and he was embarrassed to ask which expert said it, will the housing prices in Beiping fall, this is really not necessarily, anyway, it is now a price for half a year.

"Okay, let's rent it first." Ding Xiu calculated, plus the salary and mahjong winning, he has a total of 30,000 yuan, and after paying the down payment, he will have to find a job tomorrow, don't want to rest in the next few years, this is not his character.

The intermediary smiled knowingly: "This yard costs 1,000 yuan a month to rent." ”

Hearing this, Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang turned their heads and were about to leave, and Qin Gang's eyes widened.

What is the concept of a thousand dollars a month? The salary of ordinary teachers is only five or six hundred, and fools rent here.

"But the hut on the left has already been rented, he is three hundred yuan a month, and the two brothers only need seven hundred yuan to get the other two."

Ding Xiu thought about it for a while, and rented two rooms for seven hundred yuan, although it added a yard, it was not cost-effective.

It's not that he's too expensive, it's not that he can't afford it, everything has to be worth it.

"Let's see."

"Brother, don't look at it, I can't find such a cheap house in Beiping." The intermediary said bitterly: "Why don't we take a look at the house first, it is wide and bright, and I guarantee that you are satisfied." ”

The first thing to look at is the right room, push open the door, there are eight or nine square meters inside, and you can put a bed visually, and there is very little space for activities.

The main house is larger, two-thirds larger than the right room.

"Xiao Zhang, it's cheaper." After entering the door for so long, Qin Gang spoke for the first time: "Both of them are my friends, give face." ”

Gritting his teeth, the intermediary said: "I really can't do it any less, but if you can pay a year's rent at once, you can get a nine-percent discount." ”

Ding Xiu nodded: "Okay, then rent for a year." ”

Eight thousand two a year, seven thousand three hundred and eight discounts, which is equivalent to a little more than six hundred yuan per month, which is more than one hundred yuan cheaper, within the scope of his acceptance.

Looking at the locked room on the left, Ding Xiu said, "Who lives here?" ”

"An artist who plays music." The agent replied with a smile.

……

In the afternoon, Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang cleaned their new home.

After mopping the ground of the main house, seeing Ding Xiu enter the door, Wang Baoqiang took out a thousand yuan from his pocket in embarrassment: "Brother, I will pay three months' rent first, and I will give the rest later." ”

"You can keep it for now." Looking at the house with his hands behind his back, Ding Xiu said: "I want this house, count it as four hundred, and you have two hundred." ”

Wang Baoqiang understood that he was taking care of himself, so he couldn't help blushing and said, "Brother, I must pay back this money." ”

"It's fine."

"I must pay it back!" Wang Baoqiang raised his voice.

Ding Xiu was speechless: "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you return it, what are you yelling at." ”

After the two of them finished cleaning, Qin Gang drove over in a pickup truck with two beds and pots and pans, saying that it was to congratulate them on their housewarming.

Taking advantage of Qin Gang's car, Ding Xiu asked him to take him to the mall.

He bought a TV, a 21-inch TCL brand, and a DVD for a total of 3,000 yuan.

When he was in the crew, Yuan Bing told him that actors can only play dramas, and they have been supporting roles all their lives, and if they want to improve their performances, they can pull more films, that is, watch more movies and learn the advantages of others.

Therefore, the TV set must be bought, it is convenient to watch movies at ordinary times, learn more about the teacher's skills, and use it sooner or later.

I cleaned up, bought furniture, bought a few electrical appliances, and it was already dark after all this.

A lot of money was also spent, and less than 20,000 were left in the 30,000 deposit.

Ding Xiu was washing his face and wiping his sweat in the courtyard, Qin Gang and Wang Baoqiang were in the house to help him pack his luggage, and suddenly, a photo album fell out.

"!"

After a glance, the old driver Qin Gang exclaimed, he didn't expect Ding Xiu to be this kind of person, usually inconspicuous, and he couldn't see it at all.

"!" Leaning over, Wang Baoqiang also glanced at it, and admired Ding Xiu.

The eldest brother deserves to be the eldest brother, and he is not idle when he goes out to film.

Outside, Ding Xiu's voice came: "Who are you scolding?" ”

Qin Gang was excited, picked up the booklet and stuffed it back.

After a few seconds, Ding Xiu didn't come in, and Wang Baoqiang said, "Let's go down to the restaurant at night, I'll have a treat." ”

"What kind of restaurant, I'll take you to Houhai Bar for a drink, don't worry, I'll treat you."

Someone invited a treat, but Wang Baoqiang didn't insist anymore, Ding repaired the wine, and when he heard that the Houhai bar was famous, he didn't refuse.

At eight o'clock in the evening, on a street in Houhai, the lights were bright and people came and went.

This is a famous bar culture street, a small alley, gathered near the sea, no noisy music, only melodious singing, deeply loved by young men and women born in the 80s.

Randomly picked a bar and went in, Ding Xiu heard the singing from the stage.

It was a shoulder-length man who looked like he was thirty years old, not handsome, and a little ugly.

It's hard to sing yet.

"One wrong step is a lifelong mistake, going to the sea to dance with you for life, dancers are also people, who do you say to the pain in your heart...... Dancing and shaking, swaying and hugging, the personality has long been full of wine......"

"Thank you Huang Bo for bringing you the tears of dancing girls, applause and encouragement."
