The house Zhang Youqian said is about a kilometer away from the residential area of Hongxing Primary School, and there are basically double-storey buildings nearby.

However, after a special wave, the appearance of those small buildings is a little gray and dilapidated.

Although the turbulent situation is over, no one dares to repair it with great fanfare, so it can only be left to be dilapidated.

Although the exterior is not very good-looking, the quality of the houses inside is still good.

Zhang Youqian went all the way and briefly introduced the situation of the owner next door to Meng Chuntao.

is a lonely old lady in her sixties, surnamed Jie, who has been living alone in a two-story small building.

Some time ago, I don't know where some remote relatives came out to occupy the house.

The two sides had a fight, and they almost didn't make Mrs. Xie angry, so in order to prevent shameless relatives from coming to rob the house, they had to think of renting out the house.

"That's it, I'll knock on the door." Zhang Youqian stopped and went to knock on the door.

Meng Chuntao stood in place, looking up at the pink wall and green tiles, the horse-head wall with high eaves and flying ridges, a typical Hui-style dwelling. Although there is a fence around the outside of the house, and a large arched iron gate is set in the middle, it does not affect the beauty of the house in the slightest.

Although there are traces of black smoke burned by the fire in the corner of the wall, you can still feel that this house must have been a scholarly family back then.

I knocked on the door for a while, but no one came to open it.

Zhang Youqian was surprised: "This door is not locked, why didn't anyone answer when I knocked on the door for a long time?" ”

"Will it be out and not at home?" Meng Chuntao said.

"No, the door will definitely be locked when the old man goes out on weekdays, and if he doesn't lock it, he will definitely be at home." Zhang Youqian said, and slammed the door several times, and the iron door was slammed.

"It can't be an accident, right? Do you want to go in and have a look? Meng Chuntao suddenly had this thought.

Hearing this, Zhang Youqian was startled, hurriedly turned around and went home, carried a ladder and put it on the wall outside the door, slowly climbed up, and jumped into the courtyard.

He opened the iron door and took Meng Chuntao into the house.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw an old lady in a gray coarse cloth dress lying on the ground, her face flushed and unconscious.

Meng Chuntao was shocked, and hurriedly went over to pinch the old lady's people.

It took a while for the old lady to wake up.

"Who are you? How is it in my house? "Although Mrs. Xie woke up, she didn't have much strength.

"I am a tenant brought by Brother Zhang to rent a house, and I shouldn't knock on the door, I am afraid that something will happen, so I came in over the wall. Don't talk too much, you're still very weak, so let's take you to the hospital for a check-up. ”

Meng Chuntao explained simply, and then helped to help Mrs. Xie up.

Zhang Youqian suspected that the two of them were slow, so he picked up the old lady and walked out of the door.

There was a lot of movement between the two of them, and the neighbors nearby were all around the door and rubbing their heads to observe the situation, and they suddenly realized when they saw the two of them coming out with Mrs. Xie on their backs.

It turned out that Mrs. Xie had an accident.

Meng Chuntao locked the door, and the two hurriedly sent Mrs. Xie to the hospital and accompanied her for an examination.

The doctor examined it, and found out that Mrs. Xie was a high blood pressure offender, and exclaimed: "Old lady, you are really fateful!" If it weren't for these two people to save you, I don't know what would have happened later. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later, so be sure to take it on time. ”

After prescribing the medicine, Meng Chuntao and Zhang Youqian sent Mrs. Xie home again.

As soon as Mrs. Xie sat down, she raised her eyes and looked at Meng Chuntao: "Are you going to rent a house?" ”

"Yes." Meng Chuntao originally wanted to rent a house for Xia Yumei, but when she entered the house and saw the whole picture of the house, she instantly moved her idea of renting a house.

Anyway, she has to do business in the provincial capital, so it's not bad to have a foothold.

"Cheng, just give a rent a month. The rent is paid once a year, the deposit is ten yuan, and the upstairs rooms are for you to live in. Mrs. Xie said, seeing that Meng Chuntao didn't move, she pursed her lips slightly, "Don't you know what's wrong, I have more than one room in the upstairs house, and you can't rent it elsewhere at this price." ”

"The price is fine, but I can't move here yet, can I move in a few days?" Meng Chuntao asked.

"No problem, when are you going to give the money?" Mrs. Xie stretched out her hand impatiently.

"Don't worry, it just so happens that Brother Zhang can be a witness here, let's simply sign an agreement. Sign and pay. Meng Chuntao said with a smile.

Mrs. Xie pouted in disgust, although she was disgusted, she still turned around and went back to the house to get a pen and paper.

Meng Chuntao was not polite, took the pen and paper and simply wrote a few agreements.

For example, the amount of the rent deposit during the rental period, the length of the lease, and the subsequent termination of the agreement.

Meng Chuntao was particularly careful to change the lease period of the house to ten years, and the rent could not be increased in the first five years, and the rent could be increased as appropriate, capping 10% of the annual rent.

With the wave of reform, people's incomes have risen, but house rents and the like have also risen.

Meng Chuntao can also make Mrs. Xie not be able to raise the rent for ten years, but it is a bit unkind to think about it later.

After all, she is self-employed, and she can't make money if she wants to, and she doesn't need to search in front of a sixty or seventy-year-old lady in this regard.

Thinking about it this way, Meng Chuntao changed the rent from not being able to increase the rent for five years to three years.

After Meng Chuntao finished writing, Mrs. Xie picked up the paper and glanced at it, glanced at Meng Chuntao meaningfully, and then wrote down her name: Xie Yanzhi.

After signing the agreement, Meng Chuntao handed over the rent and a year's rent to Xie Yanzhi.

Xie Yanzhi received the money, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Meng Chuntao.

"This key has a big iron door at the door, and the two rooms upstairs, as well as the kitchen, and the toilet. I have only one request for you, the room must be full, and then don't bring strangers in, I'm not welcome! After Xie Yanzhi finished speaking, he turned his head and went directly to his room.

Leaving Zhang Youqian and Meng Chuntao alone, they stared at each other in the hall.

Zhang Youqian didn't expect this house to rent so smoothly, so he didn't make any effort.

Seeing that there was nothing to do with him, he turned around and thought about leaving.

Unexpectedly, he didn't take two steps, but was stopped by Meng Chuntao one step ahead.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Zhang Youqian was puzzled, obviously the house was settled, why didn't he let him go?

"Well, I originally wanted to rent a house for a relative who could go to school nearby with her children. It's just that I think the environment here is good, and I want to rent it and live by myself. Do you know anyone who has a house to rent elsewhere? Meng Chuntao asked.

Zhang Youqian breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head with a smile: "No, I know that it is for rent here for the time being." If I had found out, I would have told you. It's not early, I have to go back to the hotel, and we'll get in touch later. ”

After saying that, Zhang Youqian said hello to Xie Yanzhi's closed door again, and went back.

Before returning to the hotel, Zhang Youqian sent the ladder in the courtyard back home.

"You're still going to rent a house?" As soon as Zhang Youqian left, the door of Xie Yanzhi's room opened in the next moment.
