There is another family living on the left side of the third floor. The stairs are in the middle. After the separation, there are areas on both sides where you can put anything.

At the door of that house, there were dozens of piles of honeycomb coal covered with snakeskin bags, and at the end was the cooking area.

In the 1980s, city dwellers generally used honeycomb coal to cook, boil water and stir-fry. It was not until the 1990s that gas became popular. Later generations began to use induction cookers, and then natural gas, and technology became more and more advanced.

Of course, there are people who use gas now, but ordinary people, especially working people like them, cannot afford it.

The landlady opened the door and let the couple in for a look. The entrance was the living room, which was very large, with a dining table, two red-painted wooden sofas and a mahogany table. The furniture was relatively simple. Then inside was the room, with a toilet separated from it. The cement floor was relatively flat, and the walls were whitewashed, so it looked clean and tidy.

The toilet in the cubicle was also relatively clean, though you had to flush it manually after using it.

But this already made Qin Man very satisfied. At least she could completely accept this toilet.

She had visited a few good ones before, but was persuaded to give up because of the toilets. Two households share one toilet. What if she gets very uncomfortable and there is someone else inside?

The bedroom has a 1.8-meter-long wooden bed. The walls are relatively clean without any scribbles. There is also a rectangular table, which is very convenient for daily work, especially for a teacher like Jiang Cong. A desk is a must. There is also a large cabinet with two doors with a round mirror that can reflect above the knees. Qin Man likes it very much.

What satisfied her most was the balcony, which had plenty of sunlight and was convenient for drying clothes. Most importantly, the kitchen was located outside, so she didn't have to worry about the house being filled with fumes from cooking.

At this time, there was no range hood, so the whole house was filled with the smell of cooking fumes, which was really unpleasant.

"What do you think?"

Qin Man pulled Jiang Cong out and stood on the balcony to discuss.

Seeing this, the landlady did not disturb the couple from discussing the matter and waited quietly inside.

Jiang Cong didn't care. The house was indeed nice. It was about a 20-minute walk from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, which was not far for him.

The most important thing is that Qin Man likes it.

"I'm fine with anything, as long as you like it!"

"I think it's not bad! I just don't know if the rent is expensive. I expect it should not be more than fifteen dollars a month. How about we ask first?" Qin Man asked several families yesterday. For a one-bedroom apartment, it would be around fourteen or fifteen!

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You make the arrangements!" Jiang Cong bases everything on Qin Man's wishes.

He could also see that Manman liked this house.

"Sister, how much is your rent?"

"Eighteen yuan a month, deposit of ten yuan, minimum lease term is one year!" The landlady was very confident that everyone who had seen her house liked it.

Eighteen yuan a month was three yuan more than Qin Man had expected.

"Can it be cheaper? We are both new to work and our financial situation is not that good yet!"

"It's not that cheap, girl. My location is near the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and it's very convenient to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. It's just a few blocks away. And look at my house, it's so tidy. Eighteen yuan a month is really not expensive!" The landlady was reluctant to give in.

At this time, a little girl about twelve years old ran up.

"Mom, it's time to eat. We're all waiting for you!"

"You silly girl, why are you rushing me? Can't you see that your mother and I are negotiating business?" The landlady glared at her.

The little girl pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Sister, my husband is a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in the city. This place is close to the middle school. We will live here for a long time in the future. Can you see if you can give us a little less?" Qin Man was prepared for a protracted war.

In short, she really likes this house and wants to live here, but it would be better if the rent could be cheaper.

"Hmm? Are you a teacher at No. 1 Middle School? Which class are you in? Do you teach Chinese or math?

"After the summer vacation, I am in the first grade of junior high school in the city!" The little girl was inspired when she heard it.

Jiang Cong smiled and replied, "I am a recent graduate from the Normal University and was assigned to teach at the No. 1 Middle School in the city. I teach mathematics in the third grade of the first grade!"

As early as when he received the notice, Jiang Cong knew which class he would teach.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl became even more excited.

"Teacher, I'm from Class 3, Grade 7!" The little girl was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.

Wow, she is so lucky to have such a good-looking math teacher teaching her.

"Really? This is such a coincidence! You actually get to meet your future math teacher!" The landlady couldn't help but laugh out loud.

My good friend, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. From now on, the teacher will live in your home, and if your children have something they don’t understand, they can ask him at any time. This is like opening a back door!

Seeing this, Qin Man couldn't help but feel overjoyed. It really was God's help.
