Chapter 40 Renting a Room
The place Zhang Jing said is not far from the Chinese opera, less than 200 meters away, only two streets apart.
"This is it!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the door, and when he pushed it open, he was faced with a shadow wall, and there were crane reliefs on it, and he could see the age at a glance.
This is a set of unconventional courtyard houses, and every place makes Zhang Chu feel very familiar.
In the past, one of his colleagues spent many years of savings to buy such a small courtyard in the capital, and when he got married, he visited it.
After reading it at that time, Zhang Chu was still envious, and even thought about buying such an industry.
It's a pity that he can't save money, and whenever he has more money, he spends all day drinking.
If he can learn to save money, let alone this kind of small house, he can afford it even if it is bigger.
But now it is also worth rejoicing that the money was not spent on buying land and property, otherwise, once the dream is back, in this era, the family property does not know who will be cheaper.
"There are two households living here now, the main house is the owner's relatives live, the east wing is rented out, and now the west wing is still empty, if you are willing to rent, I will help you contact the owner."
Zhang Chu listened and looked around, although the house was a little old, the environment was not bad.
You can see it clearly through the window, and the empty west wing is not cluttered.
"You rented the east wing?"
Zhang Jing was stunned, and then smiled: "How do you know?" ”
With the keys in hand, I am still familiar with the place, either the landlord or the tenant.
Although Zhang Jing's official language is good, it still has a bit of an accent, and even in the past, it was not cheap to buy such a house in the capital, and it was obviously impossible to be a landlord.
"That's right, I rented the east wing, how about we be neighbors?"
Zhang Jing also made a temporary decision and took Zhang Chu to her rented place, Zhang Chu saved her yesterday, and it was nothing for her to do a small favor.
Moreover, she is a girl from other places, living alone in the capital, and having a neighbor like Zhang Chu is also guaranteed.
"Always let me meet the landlord first."
"No problem!"
Zhang Jing said, took out her mobile phone from her bag, found the landlord's number and dialed it.
When he heard that someone was going to rent his house, the landlord quickly rushed over.
Opening the door of the west wing, Zhang Chu took a closer look inside, this room has not been empty for a long time, it is also very clean, and the furniture is complete.
"How much?"
After a brief look, Zhang Chu has already decided to rent it.
"300 a month, bet one and pay three."
The host quoted a very fair price.
"Young man, my price is not high, if you don't believe it, you can inquire, this piece of courtyard house rented out, but if there is a cheaper one than me, the house will be for you to live in, and you will not be charged a penny."
The landlord was telling the truth.
The basement where I lived before cost 160 yuan a month, although it was a wing room, it was very spacious inside, and it was separated from the bedroom and the hall, and it was enough for Zhang Chu to live alone.
Zhang Jing still wanted to speak, but was preempted by Zhang Chu.
"Yes! Rent for a year first! ”
Just settled the account with the crew, Zhang Chu's pockets are generous, and he is too lazy to bargain.
I paid directly and counted out 3900 and handed it to the landlord.
The landlord is also a bright person, so he immediately wrote a receipt to Zhang Chu and gave him the key.
"Young man, I usually live and care about it, although the furniture inside is not an old object, but it is made of good wood, if it is really broken, it will be difficult to say anything when the time comes."
For Zhang Chu, the tenant, the landlord is not satisfied, a young man lives alone, don't ruin his house anymore.
"Don't worry!"
Zhang Chu is renting a house, and he is not here to raid the house.
The landlord explained the places that need attention again, and also moved a small stove from the upside-down room for Zhang Chu to use, the house is heated, and this small stove is usually used for cooking.
It's just that......
Cook?
Mr. Zhang has always only eaten ready-made.
As soon as the landlord left, Zhang Jing frowned and said.
"You promised too quickly just now, renting for such a long time, you should bargain, and it must be cheaper."
Zhang Chu didn't care, he was very satisfied with this house, even if the rent was more expensive, it didn't matter, not to mention that the price given by the landlord was already very fair.
Instead of talking more and cheaper for dozens of dollars, it is better to have a good time, and it is easier to talk to the landlord in the future.
put the travel bag on the table, Zhang Chu can be regarded as a home in this era, but unfortunately, this house is not his.
Thinking of these, Zhang Chu also made up his mind, he really became a big star in the future and made a lot of money, and the first thing he did when the time came was to buy a set of courtyard houses in the capital.
Seeing that Zhang Chu didn't speak, Zhang Jing didn't say anything, the money belonged to someone else, so what did she worry about.
"It turns out that the family living in the West Wing has moved away for several months, and I'll help you clean up!"
Put in order?
What's there to do with this?
Without waiting for Zhang Chu to speak, Zhang Jing had already left the house and returned to the east wing where she lived, and after a while, she came out with a basin in her hand, took water in the yard, and began to clean the house regardless of Zhang Chu.
It turns out that women have an unparalleled talent when it comes to cleaning up.
You can always find dead corners that men can never see.
The house, which was very clean in Zhang Chu's eyes, was cleaned up by Zhang Jing from the edge of the edge after a while.
Zhang Chu wanted to help, but Zhang Jing was directly "invited" out on the grounds of "repaying his kindness".
"I'll do it all by myself."
Zhang Jing insisted, and Zhang Chu was not good at brushing off people's kindness.
"Only this once, don't say anything to repay the favor in the future, otherwise, how will you be a neighbor."
Zhang Chu has never been a person who wants to repay his kindness, not to mention yesterday's incident, he didn't make a move for Zhang Jing.
If the long-haired thief hadn't stolen from him, perhaps he would have pretended not to see anything, just like the rest of the people in the car.
He's never been a nosyman.
Back then, he was sent to Liaodong for the first time to investigate the collaboration of Yuan Dujun's army, and he also encountered Jianguo Tucun on the road, and he was angry and angry, and finally Tu Village's Jianguo was killed by him more than ten people, but it also caused Jianguo Xingjun to retaliate.
In the end, the people of that village were slaughtered, and because he exposed his whereabouts, he was chased and killed by the Jianyu masters, and almost lost his life.
Some time ago, Zhang Chuxian was bored and borrowed a novel by Huang Bo, mainly about the story of Kangxi, the second emperor after Jianyu entered the customs.
The book also mentioned the master of Jianyu who chased and killed him, but he didn't expect that person to become a minister of life, because of his arrogance, he was captured by the little emperor, and finally died of illness in prison.
Far from it!
Anyway, since then, Zhang Chu has not been nosy, and even if he encounters it, as long as it does not affect him, he will pretend not to see it.
No matter what happens to others, how can their safety be more important than their safety?
Yesterday's incident, it can only be said that the two thieves were unlucky, and they actually found Zhang Chu who couldn't die.
"That's it!"
Zhang Jing walked out with a basin, just finished work, sweating a little, and her face was flushed.
"Don't say anything just once, even if it's not to repay you for saving me, we are neighbors, and it's nothing to usually take a hand and clean up the house."
As he spoke, he poured the dirty water into the pool.
"You just said that the main house is a relative of the landlord, why didn't you see anyone?"
"Their family? I've been uncommon lately, but when I first moved here, there was an old lady with a little granddaughter, so I might have something to do when I went away! ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
According to what Zhang Jing said, doesn't that mean that there are usually only two of them in this house?
Having a beautiful woman as a neighbor is indeed a great joy in life.
But Zhang Chu couldn't be happy at the moment.
Although his temperament can afford to take it and put it down, Tang Wei ......
Zhang Chu still can't help but be nostalgic.
Not counting the previous youth and ignorance, who was blinded by a woman in a green building, Tang Wei was the woman Zhang Chu was attracted to for the first time.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Jing saw that Zhang Chu didn't speak for a long time, looked over in surprise, saw that his brows were deep, and asked curiously.
"Nothing!"
After speaking, Zhang Chu went back to the house, and the moment he closed the door, he saw Zhang Jingzheng looking at him curiously.
I slept too late yesterday, got up too early today, and after sitting for a while, Zhang Chu felt sleepy, and he was in a daze.
"Zhang Chu, I still have classes in the afternoon, so I'll leave first, and I'll invite you to dinner in the evening, don't shirk!"
After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Chu to respond, so he packed up his things and went out.
Zhang Chu didn't care, he was very sleepy at this time, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, it was dark.
I didn't eat lunch, and I felt hungry at this time.
Just as he was thinking about going out to find a place to eat, he heard a noise in the courtyard, and through the window, Zhang Chu saw that it was Zhang Jing who came back.
Tuk, tuk, tuk!
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang Chu got up and went over and opened the door.
"It's getting dark, why don't you turn on the lights?"
Zhang Jing came in with two plastic bags.
"Just woke up!"
Okay! I slept all afternoon.
"Take it, I'll go find something!"
Zhang Chu subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, there were vegetables in one bag, and raw meat in the other plastic bag.
It didn't take long, Zhang Jing came back again, and there was an extra copper pot in his hand.
"It's cold, let's eat hot pot today!"
After saying that, he was busy, cutting meat slices for a while, washing vegetables for a while, mixing dipping sauce for a while, and going to the yard to burn charcoal for a while.
Zhang Chu didn't do any of these things, looking at Zhang Jing's busyness, he suddenly realized that the only thing he could compare to this young girl was probably the killing technique.
Such a capable girl, if anyone can marry home, it will definitely be the ancestral tomb that is smoking.
"Alright, alright, you sit down!"
Zhang Jing said, and stepped forward to pull Zhang Chu's arm and pressed him to the chair.
Then he filled Zhang Chu's cup with wine and poured himself a drink.
"Yesterday's incident, I still have to say thank you, if it weren't for you, I would really have had a big incident yesterday!"
The big thing Zhang Jing said was not her graduation work, but her own life.
"This cup, I salute you!"
Zhang Chu also picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhang Jing.
After waking up, Zhang Chu's mood also adjusted.
Tang Wei wants to leave, naturally she has a reason, and there is really no need to worry about anything.
Water under the bridge!
