"Sister, I still think the rent here is a bit expensive, so I'm sorry, we won't consider it for now!" Qin Man smiled at her embarrassedly, and then prepared to pull Jiang Cong away.

Jiang Cong was a little confused. In fact, he also thought that the house was good. He knew that Qin Man liked it very much, so he thought that he should grit his teeth and persevere. He could afford it at 18 yuan a month.

"Shut up!" Qin Man pulled him out and told him to be quiet.

The little girl saw this and became anxious. She quickly tugged at her mother's clothes and begged:

"Mom, please give me a little more discount! This is my future math teacher!"

It would be so bad to offend the teacher before the school even starts!

Not to mention that she was anxious, the landlady was also anxious. The back door was about to be opened, how could she not be anxious?

So she hurried out before Qin Man and Jiang Cong went down the stairs.

"Teacher, wait a minute, I'll give you a cheaper price, 15 yuan a month, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Jiang Cong finally understood what Qin Man meant, and couldn't help but praise her for being smart.

Qin Man winked at him and asked him to continue.

Jiang Cong coughed awkwardly and spoke hastily without organizing his words properly.

"Uh... um, Manman! I think this place is pretty good, and it's close to school, so why don't we stay here!"

"Okay, if you like it, let's stay here!" Qin Man hurried down the stairs.

So, the couple decided to live here. According to what the landlady said, the rent was fifteen yuan a month and the deposit was ten yuan, so the total was twenty-five.

I had fifty left on me, and after giving twenty-five I still had twenty-five left.

The landlady wrote a deposit slip and required that the deposit would only be refunded if the tenant had lived there for a full year.

"Water is 50 cents per ton, and electricity is 8 cents per kilowatt-hour. Don't waste the water you use for washing vegetables and clothes. Save it for flushing the toilet!"

Also, here is the address of the Fengwo Coal Factory. You can go buy Fengwo coal to boil water and cook. There are two stoves ready, so you don’t need to buy more. Just buy pots, bowls, and spoons. Here are the keys. You’d better buy two more as spares. I have a spare one here, but I’m afraid I’m not at home most of the time, so you might not be able to go back without your key!"

The landlady kept mumbling to herself, and it seemed like she was a nice person.

"Okay, we got it. Thank you, big sister. Sorry for bothering you!"

"No trouble. I hope Teacher Jiang can pay more attention to my daughter Qiaoqiao in school. She is not good at math!"

"Of course, she will be my student in the future, and I will definitely do my best for my students!" Jiang Cong said with a smile.

"Okay, Teacher Jiang, you guys clean up first and we'll go downstairs!" The landlady said hello and left.

"Take care. Come up and play when you have time!" Qin Man smiled sweetly as she sent her out.

"Goodbye, teacher. Goodbye, mistress!" Qiaoqiao waved obediently.

"goodbye!"

The kids in this city are different, they are sweet-mouthed and good at talking. It’s really thanks to her sudden appearance, otherwise I would not have been able to save the three dollars.

"A Cong, let's go back to the guesthouse and move our things! If we go back now, we can get a refund for one day's room!"

I hadn't checked in yet the next day, so I could get some of the money back.

These days are really a frugal life.

"Okay, let's go!"

The young couple locked the door, then went out hand in hand and returned to the guesthouse to pick up their things.

When it came to the check-out fee, the front desk clerk at the hotel seemed a little reluctant.

Even if you were not happy, you had to return it. We returned one dollar for each person.

After moving your luggage to the rental house, you will start buying daily necessities for the home.

Out of habit, Qin Man made a list to avoid missing anything and having to make extra trips.

The first thing that is indispensable is a quilt for sleeping, followed by a bucket and basin for bathing and washing clothes, as well as towels and toothbrushes.

Broom and dustpan for sweeping the floor, soap for washing clothes, and soap for bathing and washing hair.

The last thing is the pots, bowls, pans, and utensils. Buy these first, and then go and order the honeycomb coal.

I went to a home textile store in a department store and bought a set of quilts. All the money I spent on the store totaled six dollars.

The honeycomb coal at the Fengwo Coal Factory is sold by the piece, five cents a piece. Honeycomb coal is more durable. Usually four pieces can burn for two days, and one hundred pieces can burn for more than a month. One hundred pieces of honeycomb coal cost five yuan.

After finishing everything, I only had fourteen dollars left.

On the second night after moving in, the couple had their first homemade meal. Jiang Cong cooked the meal himself, and although it was just some side dishes, the couple was very satisfied.

"I have to find a job as soon as possible, preferably one that pays by the day, otherwise we won't be able to pay the rent for next month!" Qin Man started to worry again when she thought about these things after dinner.

It would take more than two months for Jiang Cong to get his salary, and the rent had to be paid monthly, so she had to find something to do so that she could pay the rent for next month.

"I'll find something to do as well. There's still a week left before school starts!"

Jiang Cong naturally expected these things. It was like this when he first started working.
