Chapter 1275 Since they helped me, I should naturally give them a proper thank-you gift.
The first snow swept over them one by one; one book was about medicine, and the other two were about machinery.
She had no experience in medicine, so she naturally chose mechanical engineering, since she had previously translated some documents for a steel rolling mill.
After seeing that she had made her choice, Director Wu told her about the compensation.
Chu Xue didn't show it on her face, but she was overjoyed inside. After saying goodbye to the director, she went downstairs to greet Sister Zheng and walked home with light steps.
After resting at home for a while, and calculating that Aunt Fang would be getting off work soon, I took out a fish from my space, along with some dried fruit she had made there, since it was hard to explain the fresh fruit at this time of year.
I rode my bicycle directly to the Houhai Subdistrict Office where Aunt Fang works.
She arrived at just the right time; Aunt Fang had just come out of there when she arrived.
She stepped forward with a smile: "Auntie, I'm here."
Fang Ruyu saw the fish in her bicycle basket: "You promised your aunt would cook you something delicious, why is this happening?"
Chu Xue laughed and said, "That's right, my aunt is making me delicious food, so it's perfect that I brought the ingredients."
Fang Ruyu was not one to mince words: "Alright, then I'll show you my skills today. Come on, let's go home. I happen to have a piece of cured meat at home."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked home.
As soon as we entered the courtyard, Fang Ruyu said, "Your house has been rented out. The rent was agreed to start from the 20th. They have started moving in these past few days. Since the entire courtyard is being rented out, and it's only used for office purposes, the rent is 100 yuan per month for the entire courtyard. For a three-courtyard house, it's 300 yuan per month in total."
I brought back the rental agreement. Take a look, and if it's okay, I'll go and sign it with them in the next few days. After all, it's a government-run organization, so the procedures are more formal than renting to an individual.
He pulled the person into the house and took out the agreement from his bag: "Take a look at this agreement first. If you feel there's anything you don't like, you can bring it up later, and I'll talk to them about it."
Each agreement was two pages long and contained the same content. After reviewing them, she didn't find anything wrong with them: "Auntie, there's nothing wrong with the agreement, but there's one thing we need to discuss with them again."
Fang Ruyu handed her a glass of water: "Go ahead."
Chu Xue considered for a moment: "It means that if the house is damaged by human intervention during the rental period, they will be responsible for repairs."
Fang Ruyu nodded gently after listening: "Yes, what you said makes sense."
Chu Xue took a sip of water from her glass before saying, "To be honest, I was being a bit cynical. I included it in the agreement just in case, so that if something happens, we won't have to argue about it."
Fang Ruyu thought about what happened in their neighborhood not long ago. It was because of a fight between two households that the other household felt that the neighborhood had handled the matter unfairly. The man from that household grabbed a wooden stick and rushed into the neighborhood office.
Although he later realized he had acted impulsively and even lost money because of it, the office window was not only broken but also had marks on the frame: "Okay, I'll remember this. I'll talk to them about it when I get to work tomorrow."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie. My hometown is calling me to go back and get some honey. I'll bring you some to try."
Although this was an excuse, it was true. Xiao's father said that the village secretary had sent word that the beehives back home were full and that it would be time to harvest the honey in the next few days, so they should go home to get it.
Since Aunt Fang helped us, we should give her a proper thank-you gift. We think honey would be a good choice.
