Lin Min and Gu Jingqi went out together to look for a house in town.
Gu Jingqi is familiar with this area.
Their school does not have accommodation, and some students from mountainous areas who go to high school rent houses in the town.
Gu Jingqi specially took Lin Min to look for her at a house closer to the school.
Some walls will have rental information.
The two of them walked around for a long time and finally found a family.
The landlord said that all the empty rooms in his yard were rented out to students. However, a relative of his moved to Xinjiang to grow cotton, leaving the yard empty.
We are planning to recruit students next semester. If they rent the place, we can go and have a look.
When Lin Min heard that there was an entire empty yard, he immediately asked the landlord to take them over to see the environment.
The yard is in an alley and is a quadrangle.
There is a brick house on the north side, and the west and east houses are adobe houses, but they don't look very old.
There is also a small garden on the south side.
Because no one has lived here for a long time, a layer of moss has grown in the yard and spider webs have formed under the eaves, making it look rather desolate.
It’s totally okay to tidy up!
"This house looks good, but it's a little old. If we rent it, we want to rent the whole yard. I don't know the exact rent and whether we can afford it.
rise. "
The landlord thought for a moment and held up three fingers, "This is the number for a year."
Lin Min and Gu Jingqi looked at each other.
Three hundred dollars a year!
A bit expensive!
Along the way, Gu Jingqi told Lin Min that their classmates were renting a house in town.
At this point, both families probably have some idea of what's going on.
"See if you can accept it?" The landlord looked at them and asked tentatively.
"Brother, this price is a bit high." Lin Min looked around the yard. "This yard is far from the street, quiet, and not convenient in any way. It's also quite shabby. Three hundred yuan is really too much.
A bit too high.”
"Then how much can you offer? Tell us and we can discuss it."
Lin Min pondered for a moment and held up two fingers. "Two hundred yuan a year. We will take good care of this yard and ensure that not a single brick or tile in the yard is damaged."
The landlord hesitated, "Add a little more, I can't decide the price."
"Brother, we really can't add more. We are not rich. Anyway, your yard is empty. We will give you 200 yuan a year. If someone lives in the yard, there will be fireworks and it will be fine.
It’s not so depressed. If it stays empty for a long time, it will really become dilapidated.” Lin Min didn’t plan to add another penny.
It can be seen that the landlord's expression has relaxed.
They offer a price, which is totally acceptable.
The landlord thought for a long time and suggested, "Two hundred and fifty."
Lin Min's mouth twitched slightly, "Look at the number you gave me! It's just two hundred yuan. If you agree, we can sign a lease contract, pack up and move in. If not, we can go to
Look somewhere else and find a place that works for you.”
The landlord saw that they seemed to dislike the house. If they didn't give in, they might not be able to keep the tenants. So he made a decision immediately, "Let's do this."
The yard was vacant after his family moved out. He was just asked to look after it and didn’t rent it out. His house was big enough for him to live in. So the yard was idle and he rented it out.
Go and earn as much as you can.
The key point is that this girl looks like she can make a living, so it's more reliable to rent it to them than to students.
The key is to clean up.
"Hey, I'll give you 50 yuan as a deposit first, and we'll decide on this house. In the afternoon, we'll each bring our ID cards and come over to sign a contract." Lin Min was actually quite interested in this house.
The wife was very satisfied and was afraid of any changes, so she paid a deposit and booked the house directly.
The landlord naturally agreed, "䗽."
On the way home, Gu Jingqi kept glancing at Lin Min's face.
That look showed undisguised admiration.
"Jingqi, why are you looking at me?" Lin Min glanced at him.
Gu Jingqi was caught while peeking and scratched his head in frustration.
He chuckled, "Second sister-in-law, how come you are so capable?"
Lin Min smiled and said, "Just rent a house and you can do it?"
"You would rent it even if you were paid."
"That's different." Gu Jingqi said confidently, "I mean, my second sister-in-law, you are not an ordinary person in terms of your speech and behavior."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Lin Min looked at him, "Jingqi, that house is quite big and not too far from the school. If you want to move in, we welcome you."
"Second sister-in-law, I won't cause you any more trouble. It's hard enough for you to take care of my second brother."
Gu Jingqi is a sophomore in high school. He has a heavy workload and someone has to take care of his meals.
Living at home, his mother takes care of his daily life, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable.
But he felt a little uncomfortable asking his second sister-in-law, who had just married into the family, to cook for him.
Afraid of causing her disgust.
I was even more afraid that it would affect her relationship with my second brother.
"It's nothing wrong. If you want to stay here, you're always welcome." Lin Min didn't think much about it. They had to eat anyway, so he added a pair of chopsticks.
After returning home, Lin Min told Gu Jingchuan about the rental house.
Gu Deyu and Wang Guixiang did not go out in the morning.
Absent-mindedly, I was waiting for them to come home.
To be honest, they would be happy to let the eldest couple move out.
But the second one...
After all, I am still worried.
"Dad, Mom, we've finally found a house. We found a courtyard house in an alley on South Street."
"Jingchuan, have you really decided?" Gu Deyu's face was solemn, he looked at them and asked without giving up.
Gu Deyu kept sighing, and Gu Jingchuan comforted him, "Dad, this is not a big deal, you don't have to sigh so much."
If you move and change your living environment, perhaps, life will be very different.
"Well, how about we build a few houses in our yard, and then you can move in. No matter what, it's always more secure to live in your own house. What's the point of renting a house?"
"
Gu Deyu was really unwilling and worried about letting them move.
If relatives and friends knew about this, what would they say to them?
Gu Jingchuan said, "Dad, let's talk about building the house later. This is settled. If you are worried, go over with Lin Min and Jing Qi this afternoon to take a look."
Gu Jingchuan had made up his mind, and Gu Deyu had no choice but to compromise.
Wang Ying and Gu Jinghui were listening at the door of the east room.
I wonder what kind of house they rented.
However, things were quite tense right now, so they didn't come over to ask questions openly.
Lin Min pushed Gu Jingchuan into the house and said to him excitedly, "Two hundred yuan a year. The yard is very large and quiet, and there are many rooms. When the time comes, we will build a special physical therapy room for you.
Put a bed in there, do acupuncture, and then when the weather gets cold you can exercise inside.”
"After I pay the rent and clean up the yard, I'll take you over to see it tomorrow."
"My dear, you have worked hard." He looked at her with a beaming face and said, his eyes full of tenderness.
It really feels like his new life is about to begin.
