Chapter 381: House Viewing (Additional Update)
In order to keep the room warm for the time being, Fu Jingyou put on his clothes.
I originally wanted to go downstairs to wash up first, see what I was busy with, and let Lu Miao sleep more.
Unexpectedly, there were a few clangs of iron outside the window, followed by a long shout:
"Sharpening the scissors and the knife for cutting vegetables~"
“Ding-dang——”
"Sharpening the scissors and the knife for cutting vegetables~"
Accompanied by the sound of "clang clang", the shouts from the authentic old alleys spread over and over again throughout the streets and alleys.
The person in the bed pulled down the quilt, and his delicate face was sleepy and lazy like a cat.
"Do you need scissors sharpened? Ask Auntie?"
"Get up as soon as you wake up."
Fu Jingyou gathered her loose hair and said, "We both heard it on the second floor. Can they hear it on the first floor?"
"Yeah...that's right, haha."
Lu Miao laughed in confusion, dragged Fu Jingyou to the bed and played with him for a while, and finally made up the bed.
Dabao and Erbao also got up. Tang Mei dressed them and put them on the sofa.
Knowing that they were going back to Beijing, the Lu family prepared a lot of little things in the morning.
There are rattles, nesting dolls, building blocks that can be put together to form little people and houses, small railway trains, and even a miniature version of a children's hand violin.
Many of them cannot be bought outside. You need foreign exchange coupons and foreign investment coupons to buy them at Friendship Stores, and the prices are not cheap.
Tang Mei didn't have access to those things, so it must have been Lu Yuanzheng who did it.
The two little ones were attracted by the new toys. When they heard the sound, they looked up and called out "Mom and Dad".
He got off the sofa and spent some time with his parents, then ran back to the sofa and started playing with his toys.
As long as they can stay and not cause trouble, it's fine. Lu Miao was always worried that they wouldn't be able to stay.
After having breakfast, Lu Miao told the eldest and second children to listen to their grandparents at home, and then he went out with Fu Jingyou.
Tang Mei and Lu Yuanzheng originally wanted to drive them there, but Lu Miao refused.
If you walk by yourself, you can recognize the route and remember the bus number, but if the elders are around, they will feel uncomfortable.
Metro Line 1 has been built for many years, but currently it only allows sightseeing at specific times and has not yet been officially opened to the public.
The school is on the West Second Ring Road. The two of them went there from the South Second Ring Road and took three buses. Without a clock, they had no idea how long it took.
Anyway, when Lu Miao got off the car, his legs were numb and he squatted on the side of the road for a long time to recover.
The temperature difference between day and night in Beijing in early spring is very large. Sometimes it is still a bit hot when walking in the sun during the day.
Lu Miao unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, while Fu Jingyou completely opened his military coat.
At present, the area outside the second ring road in Beijing is all rural and suburban areas.
Within the Second Ring Road, most universities are clustered around West Second District.
Lu Miao had been to the Military Region University before, so he was familiar with the route.
After getting off the bus, she asked an old man passing by, walked to a fork in the auxiliary road, and then became familiar with the route.
School hasn't started yet, so the school is sparsely populated.
Lu Miao took Fu Jingyou to the door to look around to get familiar with the way, then turned around and went back to Beijing Renmin University.
The two schools are not far from each other, but the alleys in between are intricate and complex.
I asked for directions, and the old man passing by said that young people have good legs and can get there in half an hour.
As a result, they were like wandering around in a ghost wall in the alley, and it took them more than an hour to reach their destination.
Lu Miao's legs were almost broken from walking.
If it weren't for the conservative and strict customs of the people today, she would have wanted to act coquettishly and ask Fu Jingyou to carry her on his back.
The Military District University is an old campus and did not experience the ten-year suspension of classes, so some of the buildings and facilities still retain their retro style.
Renmin University was closed for many years, and many of its buildings were dilapidated. Many of them were rebuilt and renovated last year.
So from the outside, Renmin University looks newer and more impressive.
The school gate was locked, and Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou couldn't get in.
However, even if you are just at the door, you can vaguely see the towering buildings inside and the long rows of five or six-story teaching buildings.
Fu Jingyou stood at the door and watched for a long time, feeling deeply moved.
Xi County Middle School is one of the few imposing buildings in the county, but compared with the campus in front of us, it is just a corner of it.
Having a good life in the city is one thing, but how many people dream of going to a school like this to study and learn skills?
Don’t blame those people for trying their best to take the exam again.
If it were him, I'm afraid he would also run for it.
Fortunately, he passed the exam.
His Miaomiao helped him pass the exam.
A ball of heat gathered in his chest. Fu Jingyou tilted his head and looked at his wife with eyes that seemed to be filled with gentle spring water.
"The two places are not far away. I will pick you up and drop you off when you go to class."
Lu Miao laughed at him with his lips pursed:
"What if I have an early class and you also have an early class?"
"When things settle down, I'll get a bicycle and leave early for class. I'll take you to school over there and then come back here."
Fu Jingyou didn't know what the university courses were like, so he could only make an estimate.
Lu Miao was amused by him and shook his head and said:
"Let's first sort out the current situation!"
"Um."
After checking out the schools, the first issue to be resolved was housing.
Lu Yuanzheng mentioned the Housing Management Office last night, and Lu Miao subconsciously looked for a nearby Housing Management Office.
Lu Miao has requirements for the geographical conditions of the house.
It would be best if it was between the two schools, so that they could take a halfway route, making it convenient for her and Fu Jingyou to go to school and saving some time.
After listening to the description, the comrades from the Housing Management Office arranged for the housing management station in charge of this area to come over for the liaison.
The people from the housing management station took them to see a house. It was a red brick tube-shaped building that had been built not many years ago in an old courtyard in the hutong.
It is a six-story building, located next to the south road, closer to the Military Region University.
The person from the housing management station looked at their clothes and introduced them as they went upstairs:
"This place is called the Ma Family Courtyard. They got a water connection last year, so they have water and electricity now. The monthly rent is 12.8 yuan, but water and electricity are charged separately."
Lu Miao nodded.
They were shown the room at the north corner of the second floor. As soon as they went upstairs and even before they saw the room, Lu Miao frowned.
Fu Jingyou knew her personality best. With just one glance, he knew in his heart that this house was definitely not suitable.
The building faces away from the sun, and although there is electricity, there are no lights in the corridor. Even though it is daytime, the corridor is still pitch black.
Moreover, the aisle is very narrow, and it is difficult for two people to walk side by side.
Even so, many residents have small tables, stoves, pots and pans placed in front of their doors, making it even more difficult to walk.
The sanitary conditions are also very poor...
Fu Jingyou pulled Lu Miao and said, "This place doesn't look good. If it doesn't look good, then forget it."
It wastes other people's time and your own time.
Lu Miao shook his head:
"Let's see first."
It’s definitely not easy to find the place you like, so take a look first.
At least you should understand what it's like to live in a house that costs $12.80 a month.
