The girl named Linda was very enthusiastic and said that she could take Luo Qiao to a real estate agency to have a look, as there was more information about properties available there and it would save a lot of time. Luo Qiao thought so too.
After looking at the time, Linda said that they should not be off work yet, so if you are in a hurry, you can go over now. Even if you can't see the house, you can make an appointment and go to see it tomorrow.
Luo Qiao wanted to find a suitable house as soon as possible, so she left the school with Linda. The real estate agency was not far from the school.
A young man named Bai Xi received them. As soon as the two sat down, Linda received a call from home: "Sorry, Miss Luo, I have something to do at home, so I have to leave first."
Luo Qiao did not correct her address and smiled lightly: "It's okay, see you tomorrow."
Linda gave Luo Qiao her phone number and told her that she could contact her anytime if she had any questions before she said goodbye and left.
After Linda left, Luo Qiao told Percy about her requirements. She wanted to rent a house with a lawn. It would be best if there was a backyard where she could grow some flowers, plants and vegetables.
Percy shook his head. There was definitely no such house near the school. If he wanted such a house, he would have to live farther away from the school. In that case, he would have to drive or take the bus to school.
Most of the houses available nearby are apartments, many of which are shared by several people because the rent of houses near the school is not cheap.
Percy was not satisfied with any of the places she had been introduced to. She wanted to find a relatively quiet place where her children could live more comfortably. If they lived in an apartment, not only would there be a mix of people, but they would also have just arrived and could not speak foreign languages, which would be very inconvenient.
Luo Qiao apologized and told Bo Xi that none of them were suitable and she planned to go look somewhere else tomorrow.
Bo Xi politely sent Luo Qiao to the door and said that he would help her keep an eye out for nearby housing. Luo Qiao left the phone number of the school apartment.
School will not officially start for another three days, so Luo Qiao's task for the next few days is to find a house. She bought the necessary items at the grocery store near the school. There are no single rooms in the apartment now. The best one is a double room, and the rest are four-person and six-person rooms. Luo Qiao directly asked for a two-person room.
I went back to the apartment and put my things away. I had checked them carefully when I moved in and arranged everything. Then I prepared to go eat.
Along the way, I was thinking whether to rent a yard with a lawn somewhere farther away or to rent a larger apartment. But if they lived too far away, I would be a little worried.
After dinner, I strolled around the campus. It was almost eight o'clock, so I prepared to find a public telephone booth to make a call. The phone in the apartment here can only receive calls and cannot make outgoing calls.
She thought about taking some time to buy a mobile phone tomorrow. She heard that the current price of Motorola MicroTAC9800 is around US$2,500 (approximately RMB 15,318), which is really expensive.
But in order to facilitate communication, I have to buy one no matter how expensive it is.
I picked up the phone after just one ring: "Hello, is this Mom?"
"Yes, Yanyan baby, you answered the phone really quickly."
"Yes, it's already dark over here. It's eight o'clock in the evening now."
"Mom, why is it different?"
"Because of the time difference, to put it simply, we see the sun first there, and the United States is about twelve hours behind us. What is the specific reason? Mom will explain it to you in detail when we meet, okay?"
"Okay, Mom, have you eaten yet?"
"I have eaten. Did you eat well?"
"Yes, my sister and I are very good. Mom, you talk to my sister."
Yanyan actually wanted to continue talking to her mother, but her sister was watching her all the time, so she felt a little embarrassed. Yueyue took the phone and said, "Mom, have you found a house?"
"Not yet. Mom went looking for one today, but didn't find the right one. I'll go out and look again tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as I find one, okay?"
"Okay, Mom, don't worry too much. Don't get too tired."
"Okay, thank you my baby Yueyue, you know how to care for your mother."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Mom, do you want to talk to Grandma Rong?"
She had heard from Grandma Rong that this was called an overseas call and was extremely expensive. "Grandma Rong, answer the phone."
Aunt Rong picked up the phone and said, "Qiaoqiao, everything is fine at home, don't worry."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. It's okay then. I'll hang up now."
Aunt Rong quickly said to the two children, "Say goodbye to your mother."
The two children said to the microphone: "Goodbye, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, I felt refreshed and thought about looking for a house early tomorrow morning. I must find a suitable house as soon as possible and take them in.
