Chapter 227
It was already noon when I got home, and I didn't have time to cook, so I went straight to the inn to pack some food and eat it. After eating, I picked up the mushrooms in the yard one by one.
There were too many to eat, so I saved some for dinner and put the rest in the yard in a dustpan to dry. The sun was very strong today, so a day of drying would be enough. Tomorrow I will dry it completely after another sun exposure.
"It looks like it will rain in the next few days, so we won't have to worry about mushrooms. Next time, I'll pick more for my aunt and they can send some over as well."
"Yes, sure."
After drying the mushrooms, the two of them accompanied Wanbaobao to the village to look at houses.
The village has set up a group. Although not everyone is in the group, at least one person from each household is in the group. She just asked in the group who has a house for rent or for sale. There are quite a few houses for rent, but not many for sale, only two.
Lin Nanzhi's home is at the innermost part of the village. There is no idle house in the village. Every household is at home. Only the houses near the school and along the road are rented out. The houses for sale are all on the mountain behind the village near the road.
The house is a stepped type, but because of this, there is basically no small garden in the house. The house is a small western-style building with two and a half floors.
The rental house with a garden is at the foot of the mountain, right near the school.
The school was not very big before, but now it has been renovated because there are more residents.
The school is located between two small hills. In the past, there were residents living in front, behind, and on both sides of the school, and there was a large piece of land. Now the land has been expropriated to build the school, and the excess land has been made into a park.
Apart from a highway passing through the school gate, there are no other roads.
In other words, the school is backed by a mountain, there is a mountain in front of the school gate, opposite is a park and a hill, the hill has also been transformed into a viewing mountain. On the right are the houses where villagers live, and on the left are the same. The right side is basically the aboriginals, and the left side is mostly relocated households.
The road was still a bit far, and the three of them came on electric donkeys.
The owner of the house was not at home, so the tenant was received by the village chief.
The village chief was a young girl, about 25 or 26 years old, wearing a floral dress and a sun hat. When she saw the three people, she immediately smiled and greeted them: "Come on, have some water."
"Thank you. Can I go see the house first?"
"Of course you can!"
The village chief led the way forward, constantly introducing: "The houses of these families are similar, all two and a half storeys, with a yard in front and back, and a small river, very beautiful.
I heard from Zhizhi that you want a bigger, flatter, quieter house for one person, so don’t consider the other houses for now, you can take a look at this one.”
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the door.
Wanbaobao took a look and found that the house was still quite far from the school. There was a road in front of it, and then there was a yard, and there was another yard in the back. The house was a modern-style small western-style building with a large balcony and a French window. There was a river next to it. There were weeping poplars by the water, and there were mountains behind it. If you walked up the river for a distance, you could see the stepped houses on the hillside.
"It's relatively quiet here, and there's a vegetable market and a big supermarket not far away, so it's very convenient to buy things. It doesn't take more than ten minutes to walk there."
The door opened and Wanbao looked at the situation inside.
Because the owner has no one to take care of it, there are no green plants in the yard, it is completely bare.
The house is two and a half stories high, about two to three hundred square meters in size, and has furniture and everything, but not much, but it is enough for one person.
Wanbao was not satisfied and went to look at other places. Finally, the four of them came to another place, which was on the highway. There was a highway in front of the door, and houses and a secondary highway opposite. There were also many businesses here.
But because it is near the highway, it is not quiet.
Suddenly, Wan Baobao seemed to see something and stared at that direction. Lin Nanzhi looked over there and saw a man in casual clothes busy in the house opposite. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes and not dressed up, he looked dignified and elegant.
Isn't this her elder brother?
"What are you looking at?"
"Nanzhi, is that handsome guy from your village too?"
The village chief looked over and spotted Lin Nanye, so he nodded and said, "Yes, that's Lin Nanye, Zhizhi's elder brother."
"Nanzhi, I didn't know you had such a handsome brother." Wanbaobao excitedly pulled Lin Nanzhi's hand. Lin Nanzhi's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wanbaobao say, "Village Chief, I want to be here."
"Are you sure?"
"Confirm and be sure."
Lin Nanzhi: “…”
Wen Jiunian: “…”
Village Chief: “…”
Do you have to be so lustful?
Wanbaobao had no idea what the three people were thinking, and urged the village chief to sign the contract.
The rental contract had been prepared long ago and was carried with it whether to be signed or not. Unexpectedly, it would actually be used. The two of them signed it and also asked Wen Jiunian and Lin Nanzhi to sign it as witnesses.
The houses here are mainly modern in style.
There is a highway running through the building, with houses on both sides. The first floor is used as a shop, and the second floor is a residence with a rooftop garden.
Lin Nanzhi thought Wanbaobao would go over and say hello to Lin Nanye first, but she didn't go over. Instead, she looked carefully at the house she had just signed to rent.
Because the first floor is a shop, there is no need to build a garden at the door for business, so a row of trees are planted on both sides of the door, trimmed like mushrooms. The door on the first floor is made of very thick tempered glass wall with rolling shutters installed.
When the roller shutter door is raised, you can see the scene inside through the glass.
Maybe this store has never been opened, so the first floor is still a mud house, which is simply painted white. There is nothing else and it looks empty.
There are no other rooms on the first floor except a bathroom.
The second floor was a little better. The house had been renovated, but apart from the necessary furniture such as the TV, refrigerator, sofa and table, there was nothing else.
The layout is two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, with two balconies, one balcony facing the door, and the other balcony is behind the house, which can be used to dry clothes and enjoy the view.
Because there is a canyon and a mountain behind the house, the scenery is particularly good and the air is much better than in front.
Only half of the third floor is occupied by two simple rooms. The rest of the space can be used as a garden or for other purposes.
Overall, Wanbao is quite satisfactory.
"At first I thought this was good, but after seeing your house I don't like this style that much anymore. It's a pity that outsiders can't build houses here."
Outsiders can rent or buy houses without any requirements, but they cannot build their own houses because there are no building standards.
Not to mention outsiders, even the local city dwellers have no standards. After next year, I guess the villagers won’t be able to meet the standards either.
