Chapter 11 Renting a house, little girl, dreams like a tower
In this way, I looked at the houses that several agents did not like.
The owner of the last intermediary was a middle-aged woman who saw Sha Zhendong's embarrassment.
He told him that if the price of these houses is unacceptable, he can look for them himself, and there are still many houses in the city that will not be rented through intermediaries, especially self-built houses.
Although the infrastructure of the house is not very good, it has the advantage of being cheap.
So Sha Zhendong could only go out on his own, try his luck, and see if he could rent an affordable house.
Fortunately, Sha Zhendong's luck was not bad, and it didn't take long for him to find a house on Big Bend Street.
The house is not big, it is an old house with two bedrooms and one living room, and it can be regarded as Sha Zhendong's luck, this house is a school teacher's family home.
It just so happened that this teacher got married, felt that the house was small, and bought a new house, so this old house was ready to be rented out.
happened to meet Sha Zhendong, and this female teacher saw Sha Zhendong's honest appearance, and she didn't charge him expensive.
It's 200 yuan a month, but you have to pay for heating and water and electricity.
I looked at the house with the female teacher, signed the contract, and paid a month's rent.
It can be regarded as Sha Zhendong's arrival in this city with a temporary place to stay.
Sha Zhendong looked around the house, and one bedroom was empty without putting anything.
However, in the master bedroom, the bedside table and wardrobe are basically complete. There are coffee tables and sofas in the living room, but they all look old.
I think it was the female teacher who got married and bought a new house and bought new furniture, so she simply left the old ones and didn't move them out.
Sha Zhendong put down his luggage and prepared to go out to buy some bedding and pots and pans.
Out of the gate of the family home, there is a vegetable market and a supermarket on the right.
Sha Zhendong chose a store called Xiao Li and walked in.
The owner was very welcoming, and when he saw a customer coming, he walked up to say hello.
Little brother, what do you want to buy?
Whether you want to have something to eat or something to drink, although there are all kinds of snacks and drinks in the shop, you can choose whatever you want.
I look at the bedding, is there a cheaper fellow?
There are a lot of cheap ones, you come here to look, the boss took Sha Zhendong to the corner, only to see all kinds of goods such as bed sheets, quilt covers, pillows, etc., pillows stacked on the shelves more than two meters high.
Sha Zhendong picked a set of dark colors, which are more resistant to dirt.
I bought two beds of cotton wool casually, after all, the bed is not soft and not very easy to sleep on at all.
Sha Zhendong also took some pots and pans by the way.
I picked out the things, bargained with the boss, and finally took everything in the end.
Sha Zhendong thinks it's quite cost-effective, although it's not too good, but it's good to be able to meet daily requirements.
Sha Zhendong has grown up in the countryside since he was a child, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with these cheap things, but he thought it was more appropriate.
Besides, the conditions are not allowed, after buying these things, Sha Zhendong has little money left.
After buying things, Sha Zhendong walked back with a bunch of things, although the things seemed to be a lot, but this weight was a piece of cake for a dark master like Sha Zhendong.
On the way back, Sha Zhendong wanted to buy some vegetables by the way, bought a little meat, and of course green vegetables were indispensable.
It is worth mentioning that the vegetable seller is a little girl.
Probably seven or eight years old.
Sha Zhendong walked to the little girl's vegetable stall.
Big brother, do you want to buy some greens? My food is very good, the little girl is very shy, and her face is fat, but the whole person does look very thin.
There are not many dishes on the vegetable stall, just a few handfuls of celery, a little oil and wheat cabbage, and some wilts.
Brother, buy some.
Although the little girl was shy, she still mustered up the courage to speak to Sha Zhendong.
Sha Zhendong put down his things.
Little sister, your dishes are a little unfresh.
Sha Zhendong saw that the little girl was very cute, so he teased her.
No, big brother, my food is grown in my own house, and I came out in the morning to carry a long distance, and I didn't fetch water, so it will look a little wilted.
My food is really good, big brother, you have to believe me, the little girl is in a hurry, and her big eyes are shining with tears.
Good, little sister. Don't cry, my brother didn't say he wouldn't buy your food.
How much do you have for these dishes, I want them all.
Really, brother, do you really want all of these dishes?
Uh-huh!
I didn't lie to you, I want it all, you see how much it costs?
If my brother wants them all, it's only 5 yuan, okay?
Sha Zhendong took a look, and he didn't know how the little girl sold these dishes, but the little girl said that she wanted five yuan, and Sha Zhendong didn't bargain, so she took five yuan from her pocket and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl carefully put the money in her pocket, and then took out the convenient bag to put the dishes up for Sha Zhendong.
Little sister, aren't there any adults coming with you?
Well, I'm a big brother alone.
Oh, is your home far away?
Why don't your parents come to sell vegetables, and it's not safe to let a little girl come to buy vegetables.
I don't have a father, a mother, or an older brother.
The little girl lowered her head and said a little lonely.
Don't have mom and dad?
So who else is in your family?
And grandpa, I was picked up by my grandfather, and my grandfather brought me up.
Is there anyone else in your family?
No, just me and grandpa, we depend on each other together.
Now that grandpa is sick, all of them come out to sell vegetables to make money to buy medicine for grandpa, but fortunately, brother today, you bought all my vegetables, and the money to buy medicine for grandpa is enough.
The little girl carefully touched the pocket of her jacket containing money and said.
Uh-huh, little sister, what's your name, can you tell my brother?
The short communication made Sha Zhendong feel a little emotional, this little girl's life was strikingly similar to his own, and he couldn't help but feel some pity for this poor little girl.
My name is Duoduo, my grandfather calls me Duo'er, and my eldest brother can call me the same.
Uh-huh, Duoduo, nice name.
Okay, my brother is going back, your vegetables are sold out, you hurry home, you are out alone, it's not all late.
Sha Zhendong said with concern.
Mmmm, I know, I'm going back, and I'm going to buy medicine for my grandfather.
Uh-huh, okay, I'm leaving.
Sha Zhendong waved at Xiao Duo'er.
Uh-huh, goodbye, big brother.
Mmmm, goodbye little Duo'er.
Sha Zhendong returned home, which was the rental house he had just rented.
I cleaned the inside and outside of the rental house casually. When I was cleaning, I found that not only the dishes were in the cupboard, but also the condiments were all available.
There is even half a handful of noodles. Fortunately, the landlord gas stove did not move away.
After this round of busyness, Sha Zhendong really felt a little hungry, so he washed some vegetables and cooked a bowl of white water.
Sprinkle some chopped green onions, pound some minced garlic, not to mention that this white water surface is quite delicious.
A bowl of white water was under the stomach, and Sha Zhendong's stomach was swollen.
Sha Zhendong burped, rose up, and went to the bedroom to lie down.
The bed left by the landlord was relatively large, and there was a Simmons mattress, Sha Zhendong put a big word, and fell asleep after a while.
Well, where is this?
Sha Zhendong felt that he had come to a vast, yet hazy space.
The whole space is not topless, and the surroundings are boundless, and there is a twilight.
The only thing that was visible was a tree in front of me, a quaint little house, and a well in front of the house.
There is also a small open space under his feet, and the rest of the place is basically unclear.
Sha Zhendong tried to walk, but he couldn't get through, just like these hazy twilight hazes were covered by a large net of super elasticity.
As soon as he got closer, he was bounced back by a soft force.
Sha Zhendong was very confused.
Damn, where is this, it won't be the Netherworld, is it that Lao Tzu slept and died, and arrived at the Netherworld.
"Hee-hee"
Who?
You come out, are you a human or a ghost?
The sudden laughter made Sha Zhendong feel a little creepy.
Hee-hee, aren't people ghosts?
The laughter came again, and Sha Zhendong was a little frightened.
You're not a ghost, so where are you? Why are you hiding to scare me?
I'm not hiding, this is my territory, I just laugh and you're scared? You're not so cowardly, are you? A soft voice came, like a clear spring flowing into Sha Zhendong's eardrums in the mountains.
Isn't this the Netherworld Territory? How can it be your territory? Could it be that the Lord of the Yama Temple is a woman?
Sha Zhendong was skeptical.
Hee-hee, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, people just joked with you.
