Return To 1998

　　 "Master! Do you still have a house to rent here?"

　　 When Xu Tongdao asked, he looked inside the yard. He was the first to knock on the door of the yard because it looked quite big from the outside.

　　 Looking inside now, it is indeed quite big.

Directly opposite the courtyard gate, there is a row of about six or seven bungalows. At this time, an old lady is choosing vegetables under the eaves. With a half-year-old child rolling in the yard with an iron ring, Xu Tongdao visually observed that the boy was about five or six years old, and he looked like a tiger.

　　 "Yes! Yes! You bring all your luggage? Come on! I'll take you to see the room first, and if we are satisfied, we can talk about it, okay? Hehe."

　　 The old man speaks slowly when he gets older, and he speaks slowly, but he seems very kind.

　　 "Okay! Excuse me, then."

　　 "No trouble! No trouble! Young man, don’t be so polite, hehe, come! I have two vacancies here, both of which are on the far west..."

　　 The old man leaned on crutches, and walked in staggeringly while introducing Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin.

　　 Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin followed, listening to the introduction, while looking at the environment in the yard.

　　 The yard is quite clean. The ground is covered with blue bricks, except for a bit uneven.

　　 There is the toilet! To the east is my kitchen. If you want to use boiling water, come to my kitchen to get it! If you rent a house with me, I will provide you with a bottle of boiled water every day, and every family in the yard will receive this treatment, huh..."

　　 Following the introduction of the old man, Xu Tongdao also noticed that the toilet is under the root of the western wall, and it is only about two to three meters away from the westernmost room. In summer, the smell may be a bit big.

　　 After all, the toilets these days, even the toilets in the county, are still old-fashioned. When it is hot, the smell is definitely not good.

　　 may also be because of this, so the two rooms near the toilet are currently empty and no one is renting.

　　Xu Tongdao also noticed that since the two of them walked into the yard, the old lady choosing vegetables under the eaves, the woman drying the quilt, and the little boy who was rolling the hoop all curiously looked at him and Xu Tonglin.

　　 Especially the little boy, staring at them curiously with big eyes, without any concealment.

　　Xu Tongdao saw the iron ring in his hand and the wire hook in his other hand, and smiled slightly, feeling very kind, because he also liked to play with this when he was a child.

　　 even led him to have some affection for the little boy playing with the hoop, so he blinked his left eye at the little boy.

　　 The little boy gave him a bright smiling face, and then ran over with the hoop.

　　 "Grandpa Li, someone wants to rent your house again?"

　　 As soon as the little guy ran over, he talked to the old man.

　　 The old man touched his little head, hehe smiled and nodded, "Yes! Yes! You go and play first, Grandpa Li will take two older brothers to see the house first..."

"Oh fine!"

　　 The little boy ran a little further away, but still looked at this side curiously.

　　 Xu Tonglin suddenly turned his head and made a grimace at him. Not only did he not scare the boy, but he made him laugh instead.

　　 "Come here! Providence!"

　　 The woman who had already dried the quilt frowned and shouted, the little boy looked back at her, oh, and ran over with a grin.

Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin followed the old man into the westernmost room and took a look. This room is not small. According to Xu Tongdao, it is about three meters wide and six meters long, which is much larger than the small single room he wants to rent. .

　　 "This room needs to be bigger. I think the two of you should live together? Haha, so I will show you this room first. How about? Are you satisfied, boy?"

　　 The old man explained with a smile.

　　 There are two windows in this room, so it’s ok! After all, it is a bungalow, and there is a toilet not far in front, so although there are two windows at the front and rear, the lighting is not very good, but it is not bad.

Inside 　　, by the window, there is an old desk and an old wooden bed. The width of the wooden bed...Xu Tongdao's visual observation is about 1.2 meters.

　　 Such a wide bed is more than enough to sleep one person. If you sleep two people, you can only squeeze, and you can sleep well even if you squeeze it down.

　　 These Xu Tongdao didn't care very much. He mainly valued the proximity to the alleyway and the large courtyard outside.

　　 What he cares most about at this time...

　　 "Master, your surname is Li, right? Then we call you Grandpa Li?"

　　 "Hehe, you are free! You are free! How about? Is this room still satisfactory?"

　　 The old man touched the white hair on his head, his face was smiling, and he was talking very well.

　　Xu Tongdao looked at Xu Tonglin next to him, and smiled: "Grandpa Li, this house is pretty good. We like it very much. It's the rent... How much do you want for a month's rent for this room?"

　　 Speaking of the rent issue, Xu Tonglin, who was still looking at the room, also looked over.

　　 He knew that they didn't have enough funds to come to the county seat this time. They not only wanted to rent a house, but also had enough money to set up a stall.

"Hehe, the rent here is not expensive. If you two lads sincerely want to rent, I won't ask you for more, 80 yuan a month, if you decide to rent! You just pay one month's rent plus one month's rent first. The deposit is 160 yuan in total, haha."

　　 "160?"

　　 Xu Tonglin repeated, looking at Xu Tongdao.

　　 This time he came out. He didn't bring much money with him. He was mainly mixed with Xu Tongdao. Therefore, whether to rent a house here, UU reading www.uukanshu.com mainly means Xu Tongdao.

　　 "Grandpa Li, can you show us the empty room next to you again?"

　　 Xu Tongdao didn't make a decision right away.

　　 "Okay! Of course there is no problem, you guys come with me!"

The old man took the two of them to the next room to take a look. As expected, the room next door is indeed smaller. The main reason is that in this row of bungalows, apart from the east and west two rooms, the other rooms have houses more than one meter wide in front of them. Pick the eaves.

　　 Because of the eaves of the house, the adjacent room is a few square meters smaller.

　　 There is also an old desk and an old wooden bed about 1.2 meters in size.

　　 "Grandpa Li, how much is the rent for this room?"

　　 Xu Tonglin asked this time.

　　 "Hehe, this one is 70!" The old man replied with a smile.

　　 At this moment, a strange sound came from the next room. Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin looked at them at the same time, as if something was hitting the wall one after another. The sound was not loud, but it had a sense of rhythm.

　　 Xu Tonglin's eyes were very puzzled, "What sound?"

　　Before he was born again, Xu Tongdao, who was experienced and married, had already guessed the reason, but he was not interested in explaining it to Xu Tonglin. Xu Tongdao looked at his father.

　　 But seeing that the old man seemed to have poor hearing, his face was still smiling at this time, and it seemed that he didn't hear the abnormal noise coming from the next door at all.

　　 Xu Tongdao smiled wryly. He originally wanted to save some rent and rent this smaller room.

　　 But he is afraid that this kind of voice next door will often appear in the future. Both he and Xu Tonglin are still young, and they are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with their nutrition in the future. Don't eat more food in order to save a little rent. It is not worthwhile.

　　 "Grandpa Li! We want to rent the one just now, but can the rent be cheaper for us?"
