August 16, Friday, cloudy.
The weather is a bit different today.
It was cloudy and windy when I woke up in the morning, as if the ghosts from the Ghost Festival had come out for a stroll and had not left yet.
Xiaoqi wore his school uniform and pants and went to the Cultural Palace to learn Japanese in the morning.
Zhou Meiling, who was called Zhou Chu, was stunned when she saw Su Xiaoqi in school uniform. She really had to admire her.
She knew that little girls nowadays would never want to wear school uniforms once they left the school gate.
I was the same at that time, unless I really had nothing to wear.
Last time she asked Su Xiaoqi where her family was from, and Su Xiaoqi said Gumula Village, so she specially looked up that village. It was too poor. The average annual income of the people there was only two to three thousand yuan. It was incredible. She didn't know there was such a poor place in Lushan City.
Located in a high-altitude area deep in the mountains, transportation is particularly inconvenient and the population is small, giving it a feeling of being isolated from the world.
Therefore, the probability of having nothing to wear is relatively high.
Zhou Meiling is a person who has seen the world. She has high material demands. Although she works at the Cultural Palace now and does not earn much, her clothes are almost never the same. She likes the brand of Gedi Amash. Almost as soon as new clothes of this brand are released, the clerk will call her and ask her to try them on.
She originally looked down on such local brands, but in Lushan City, Gedi Amash is already considered the highest-end brand. A windbreaker costs more than 5,000 yuan, and a shirt costs 1,000 or 2,000 yuan. She spends a lot of money on clothes and it is almost her largest expense.
She is now single and divorced. Her ex-husband was quite rich, but he later had a mistress, so she divorced him and he gave her a house and some money.
She has no children, and there are piles of clothes at home. She doesn't know how much she has to clean out and throw away every year.
She looked at Su Xiaoqi. The sleeves of her clothes were pilling, and her sportswear was also pilling, which showed that she wore it every day.
Although the school uniform doesn't look ugly on her at all, on the contrary, it looks very good, like a little girl in a movie, young and lively, and it is easy to associate her with first love.
She originally wanted to ask if she could give her some clothes, some of which she had worn almost once, and some of which she had bought but didn't like even before removing the tags, but they were all better looking than the school uniform on the little girl.
But after thinking about it, she gave up. Children nowadays have a lot of self-respect, and the little girl in front of her has a kind of temperament. At first, she thought she was the child of a high-ranking official, and she felt that she was particularly unattainable. Even now, she was still the same even in her school uniform.
It's just that as a woman who has experienced things, she is more careful and thinks so much.
In the last class, she found that the other party had a very good sense of Japanese. She spoke Japanese sentences without any stuttering, as if she had been to Japan. She had also memorized all the 50-kana charts and was not unfamiliar with them at all. Her learning progress was no slower than Guan Jingzhi's, so she sped up the pace a little in this class.
She started the class normally, talking about Japanese culture and customs, some embarrassing things that happened to her when she went to Japan, combined with Japanese grammar and sentences, and the class passed quickly.
She found that during class, both students were very focused and serious. Su Xiaoqi took a lot of notes, while Guan Jingzhi took fewer. In fact, Guan Jingzhi was only interested in Japanese class, so he didn't set very high standards for himself. He thought it didn't matter whether he studied or not.
Xiaoqi wanted to learn, thinking that the opportunity was hard-won, and now she had a buff that doubled her efficiency. She cherished this feeling of full efficiency and listened very carefully, so she would work harder and more seriously when studying.
After finishing a class, my brain feels a little exhausted.
Now she realizes that the brain really needs to be used more often. The more it is used, the more proficient it becomes. She even feels that she is smarter than before. If she doesn't use it, she will become numb.
Until the end of the class, Zhou Meiling did not mention sending her clothes, but instead gave her several books.
"Three Prime Ministers from One Family", "Made in Japan: Akio Morita's Japanese Management Philosophy", and "A Day in Edo".
"Take these books and read them. You don't have to return them to me. If you're still interested, I recommend The White Tower and The Badlands. They're both very good."
Xiaoqi didn't expect that Teacher Zhou would send a book to him alone, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
When I first met her, I always felt that she was the same type as my Chinese teacher, not a very friendly person. In the second class, when she asked about my family background, I felt that she was obviously much colder towards me. But today she actually gave me a book.
Xiaoqi was a little nervous about this unexpected kindness. He felt that he was a little biased and judged people by their appearance. He thanked Teacher Zhou sincerely and wrote down the titles of the two books that Teacher Zhou mentioned.
Unexpectedly, the mechanical voice next to my ear rang again: "The host has received a book from a teacher I met by chance. With gratitude, I inspire more kindness in my heart and reward the host with a regular study card, which can be used in any of these three books."
After class, Xiaoqi separated from Guan Jingzhi. She went swimming, and Guan Jingzhi had other things to do.
After swimming, Xiaoqi found two missed calls on his phone from unfamiliar numbers.
The other party called twice, so something must have happened. Xiaoqi called back.
"Little girl, last time you said you wanted to look at houses near No. 1 Middle School, I've made appointments with two for you. Both are in a hurry to sell their houses. Whenever you're free, you can go and look at the houses."
Xiaoqi thought about it and made an appointment after lunch.
After dinner, I cleaned up a bit and left.
It was a bit hot at noon, so Xiaoqi took off his school uniform jacket and wore school uniform pants and T-shirt without changing his clothes.
When I arrived at the agency, it was the same middle-aged man from last time.
His last name is Wang, and I heard others call him Lao Wang. I saw him making a few phone calls, then he stood up and walked out.
Xiaoqi was a little nervous because she was about to go house hunting, which was a big deal. Apart from that, she didn't consider what problems might arise if a little girl like her followed a stranger into someone else's house. She didn't think about these things at all.
"Are you still in school?"
"Graduated."
"You're too young. If I take clients your age to look at houses, the owners will think I'm bringing an employee to look at houses. They'll be unhappy if I deceive them. But I think you're sincere about buying a house. After you've looked at it, just let me know if you have any questions."
On the way, Lao Wang talked to Xiao Qi for a few words, asking and answering. Xiao Qi didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything more.
After walking a short distance, we arrived at the halfway point of the No. 1 Middle School, which was quite close to Liang Jiajia's home. However, it was not her high-rise building, but the low house opposite the high-rise building.
There is a big iron gate at the entrance. Xiaoqi has walked through here before. This is the back door of No. 1 Middle School, the faculty and staff family area. It is closer to the school from here, but students are usually not allowed to walk here, and the gate is always closed.
Xiaoqi was quite satisfied when he saw this place. Although it was a low building, it could actually be considered part of the school. The yard inside was very large, with lawns and big trees on both sides. It was very spacious.
The only thing is that the building is quite old and the outside is covered with ivy.
The house is on the first floor.
When Xiaoqi walked in, he felt that the house was a little dark because there were big trees outside that blocked the sunlight. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room house. He didn't expect that there was a small courtyard at the back. The oblique triangle shape was irregular, but the place was quite large, like a small living room.
A small patio was built in the kitchen area, which also became a storage room.
Xiaoqi likes this place very much. The school is quiet and has a large area with a patio and a yard.
Moreover, other people may find the first floor dark and damp, but my father has poor legs and feet, so if he lives here, it will be very convenient to go in and out without having to climb stairs.
Dad can continue to weave bamboo in the small yard at the back.
Xiaoqi was quite satisfied, but she didn't show it. She had an unattainable buff about her, so the landlord didn't think she was an agent's agent. Seeing that she was wearing school pants, he was very friendly and asked if she was a student of No. 1 Middle School.
Although I really wanted to settle down, I still went with the agent to look at another apartment. The other apartment was also a multi-story building with no elevator, but it was on the fifth floor, with better lighting and closer to the school. However, it was on the outskirts and there was no yard downstairs. It was facing the street. There seemed to be many tenants in the building, but not many residents.
Of the two apartments, Xiaoqi naturally likes the first one.
I told the agent Lao Wang as soon as I came out.
"That one is a downsized house. It was originally issued by the school. The property certificate only shows an area of 50 square meters, but the actual area is 70 square meters. Adding the extra patio and yard, it's nearly 100 square meters. The only problem is that it's a bit old, and the lighting is average. But the price is also very reasonable. The landlord is in a hurry to sell it and is willing to sell it for 350,000 yuan, which means that the actual price per square meter is less than 5,000 yuan."
Xiao Qi looked at his interface. It was over 190,000, but less than 200,000...
I asked how much the other one cost, and it turned out to be 400,000.
Su Xiaoqi: ...
