My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 462 Rent
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, Xu Dong drove out the door early in the morning. The streets were deserted, and there was no Chinese New Year atmosphere at all.

A few years ago, he was still lamenting that the "flavor of the year" had returned, but he didn't expect that it is not as good as every year.

Running down a lap, the time has come to noon.

This year's New Year's greetings, each of his families gave a catty of sugar and a catty of dried shrimps. Although the gifts were not many, they were definitely a great gift.

In order to avoid suspicion, several companies insisted on paying.

Several other families gave some gifts in return. For example, Director Su gave a bag of shredded squid weighing half a catty, and Song Lin's family gave five catties of dried tofu.

Xu Dong was not polite and took all of them.

Back home, the family was having lunch, Aunt Wang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also there, and the two children were also brought over. Xu Dong smiled and said hello.

"Aunt Wang, Sister Zheng, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Wang Xiujuan smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, you're back, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, I've been running all morning and I'm already hungry." Xu Dong groaned as he rubbed his stomach.

Yang Lina stood up quickly and went to the kitchen to serve her husband a bowl of rice.

After lunch, Xu's mother stopped her younger son.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Your Auntie Wang helped the boss find a house for his family. Later, you will drive us there to have a look. If it is suitable, we will rent it today."

Mama Xu replied.

"Isn't it good to come to the house on New Year's Day?"

"It's okay. I heard from your Aunt Wang that the family is going abroad soon and wants to rent out the house early."

Xu Dong looked shocked: "There are still people who are eager to go abroad?"

"It's not what you think. They go abroad to work and come back after a few years." Mama Xu explained.

"Work abroad? What do you do? Which country are you planning to go to?"

"I heard it's from a coal company, and they're going to Kangaroo Country, and we're leaving on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

Xu Dong nodded: "It's quite early, okay, it just happens to be fine in the afternoon, so I'll go there with you to have a look."

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Dong drove a group of people to a community called Jingzhi Garden according to the address given by Aunt Wang.

Pointing to a huge arched door, Wang Xiujuan introduced: "This is it. Opposite it is the Yanjing Daily, and the distance is less than 500 meters."

"Not bad, the neighborhood looks new."

Madam Xu nodded in satisfaction.

"Of course, the complex was completed in 20, and it's less than [-] years now!"

Xu Dong frowned: "Why are they all high-level people?"

Although Yanjing does not lack electricity, it cannot avoid power outages, especially as the circuit system ages, power outages will become more and more frequent.

"It's okay, the house your Aunt Wang introduced is on the fifth floor, and you can climb the stairs to go up, so you're not afraid of a power outage."

Mama Xu smiled and waved her hands.

There are guards at the entrance of the community, and the management is very strict. Strangers are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving. Wang Xiujuan made a phone call, and the security guards were willing to let the landlord come down to pick them up.

Xu Ma nodded again and again: "It's better to manage strictly, safety is the most important thing."

"Who says no, the public security is not very good recently." Wang Xiujuan echoed.

After 10 minutes, it's time to go.

The landlord opened the door and took everyone on a tour of the house.

This house is about more than 90 square meters, with a layout of two bedrooms and one living room. The overall decoration is very good, and electrical appliances and furniture are all available.

Xu Bin was very satisfied with it, and asked directly:
"Mr. Li, how much does your house cost per month?"

The landlord was very straightforward: "You were introduced by Aunt Wang, I'm sure I can trust you, so I won't charge you a deposit.

As for the rent, I will go abroad for business soon, and this trip will last for several years, so I can only rent on an annual basis, 60,000 yuan per year. "

5000 yuan per year, [-] yuan per month, slightly lower than the market price.

In the past year, as Yanjing has gradually tightened the settlement policy and increased the supply of public rental housing, the local rent level has declined to varying degrees.

"Can it be cheaper?"

Tan Aifang tried to bargain.

Wang Xiujuan immediately persuaded: "Xiao Li, their house can be rented for a long time, can you offer a little more discount?"

"Well, if you are willing to rent for three years, I can charge you [-] less, but you have to pay the rent in one lump sum."

"No problem, we will rent for three years."

Xu Bin quickly agreed.

Because it was introduced by an acquaintance, it was impossible for Aunt Wang to cheat their family of such a small amount of money, and the group didn't even look at the real estate certificate.

Then the two parties signed a rental contract, and Xu's mother paid the rent for three years in one go.

The landlord receives the rent, leaves the keys and leaves.

Xu Bin was a little embarrassed: "Mom, we have money, so we can pay the rent by ourselves."

"Okay, don't be polite to Mom, save your own little money and live a good life!"

Mother Xu comforted her with a smile.

"Thank you grandma!"

Xu Jingyi looked happy. With a house, their family finally settled down in the capital.

"Thank you for telling grandma, come back a few more times when you have time, grandma will make delicious food for you."

Mother Xu gave a warning.

Tan Aifang quickly promised: "Mom, we will visit you and Dad every weekend."

Xu Jingyi followed suit and nodded.

"Girl, you're not too young. If you find something suitable, remember to bring it back and show it to grandma. Grandma will check it out for you."

"Grandma, am I still young?"

"It's not too young. When grandma was your age, your dad would know how to make soy sauce."

Mama Xu smiled.

Wang Xiujuan took the opportunity to ask, "Jingyi, do you want Grandma Wang to introduce you to a boyfriend? Grandma Wang assures you that he is definitely a handsome guy."

"Grandma Wang, let's talk about it after my job is stable. How can I have the heart to fall in love now?"

Xu Jingyi hastily evaded.

"Okay, Grandma Wang will keep it for you. You can meet whenever you want."

Wang Xiujuan seemed very enthusiastic.

Although the eldest granddaughter of the old Zhang family is not from the "direct line".

But the little girl is a graduate of a famous university, has a good temper, works in the system, and has a good family background. In the blind date market, she is definitely a favorite.

The only downside.

Uh, it's not a shortcoming, it should be called a pity, the little girl's appearance is too ordinary, she can be considered pretty at best, but fortunately she is chubby, which adds a lot of points.

But having said that, some people would rather find an ordinary-looking person than marry a "fox charmer" and make the house restless.

Tan Aifang took a closer look at the two rooms, and found that everything was complete, and she could move in with her bags, so she discussed it with her husband secretly.

Immediately afterwards, she came to her mother-in-law:

"Mom, we plan to move here tomorrow."

Xu's mother complained: "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay at home for a few more days, and I will make up for you."

"Grandma, make it up, I'm almost fat like a pig." Xu Jingyi said coquettishly.

"Mom, it will take at least a few days to tidy up this house. When the third child is at home, I can just rub his car."

Xu Bin also wanted to move out early.

Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is more comfortable to move out. In addition, he also wants to start his own collection business as soon as possible.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
