I took my little one and boarded the bus I had checked last night, heading to the house I had arranged with the first agent to view.
The first house was scheduled for nine o'clock, but the mother and son didn't arrive until eight fifty, and it took an hour just to get there by car.
There was no way. The houses within Zhou Xiao's budget were all in the suburbs. The original owner rented in the city, and the driving time alone would definitely take this much time.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiao made good arrangements. The five houses we visited today were not far from each other, and we visited one community in the morning and one in the afternoon, so there was definitely enough time.
So, Zhou Xiao took Xiao Baozi to two restaurants in the morning. The price was right, but Zhou Xiao was not very satisfied with the environment.
Zhou Xiao prepared to eat lunch and then go visit the other three companies he had arranged to meet in the afternoon before making a decision. If it didn't work out, he'd have to try again tomorrow.
Zhou Xiao took out the wet wipes from her bag and pulled out one to wipe the sweat off the little bun.
The little guy felt the wet tissue rubbing across his forehead, and he immediately closed his eyes in comfort due to the cool feeling.
"I'm sorry, baby. I made you suffer by following mom!" Zhou Xiao looked at the little guy with sweat on his forehead, feeling guilty.
House hunting is tiring in itself, and even she, as an adult, would be a bit tired, let alone a child. And it was such a long way.
The little guy shook his head and said, "Mom, Hanhan is not miserable. With mom, Hanhan is very happy!"
Knowing that the little guy was comforting him, Zhou Xiao touched the little guy's head with relief.
After taking out a water cup and letting the little guy drink some water, Zhou Xiao took the little guy to eat nearby.
After a quick bite at noon, the mother and son started their long journey of house-hunting again.
Fortunately, the day was not completely fruitless. Zhou Xiao was interested in two sets in the afternoon, especially the last one. He made up his mind that if he didn't like any other set tomorrow, he would decide on this one.
So after looking at houses for another day, the mother and daughter, exhausted from all the travel, finally collapsed. When they got home, Zhou Xiao cooked a meal for the little bun, ate it with her, and then forced herself to give the little bun and herself a bath before falling asleep on the bed.
The little guy even fell asleep while taking a bath. During this period, Zhou Xiao was still worried about the little guy's injury. He got up to check on it several times and found that it had begun to scar. He felt relieved.
Then, another day of house viewing.
Because of the experience of the previous day, the mother and son were not so tired this time.
Especially after finding one he liked, Zhou Xiao looked at the two houses in the morning and felt that the one from yesterday was better, so he decided not to look at any more and just decided on the one from yesterday.
So I took out my cell phone and rejected the afternoon appointment, found the phone number of the previous agent, and signed the contract with the help of the agent.
The new house is in the suburbs, in an old community, but the surrounding facilities are okay and the location is a bit remote. Although it is not as good as the current one, the monthly rent is only 2,400.
Thanks to the fact that it is still the beginning of 2015 and the national housing prices have not yet seen a big jump, 2,400 is enough for Zhou Xiao to rent a two-bedroom, one-living-room house in the suburbs of Shanghai.
Zhou Xiao's main reason for choosing this house was that there was a public kindergarten within half an hour's subway ride of the community.
It is said that it is not bad. Zhou Xiao considered that the little guy is five years old and should go to school long ago, so he decided to let him study here.
But the rent was a one-month deposit and three-month payments, and even after a lengthy negotiation with the agent to change it to a one-month deposit and one-month payments, she was running out of money. With 4,800 yuan in rent gone, Zhou Xiao was left with just over 3,000 yuan.
We have to find a way to make money!
But even if I go to work now, I won't get paid until next month. That means I only have more than 3,000 yuan to live on for at least a month and a half. It's a bit difficult to support myself and a child with more than 3,000 yuan.
What should he do? Zhou Xiao anxiously stuffed the rental contract into his shabby bag. Suddenly, he spotted a certain logo on the bag and had an idea.
