The father of the Beijing circle asked to recognize me, and then scolded me for leaking air

As for a place to live, Jiang Tiange certainly wanted to find a place with a better environment.

Therefore, she had no interest in those alleys that were littered with garbage, noisy, and looked messy at first glance.

After walking through four or five alleys, Jiang Tiange finally found one that he was satisfied with.

This alley has a very poetic name, Xuehua Alley.

The alley was not spotless, but it was very clean. Not far away there was a sturdy tree with lush branches and leaves. Three or two elderly men and women gathered together and sat under it to enjoy the coolness.

There was a ping-pong table under a big Koelreuteria tree, where a group of children about thirteen or fourteen years old were playing.

The younger children were chasing each other and playing in the alley. Although it was lively, it was not noisy.

Jiang Tiange decided, this is it.

She walked towards the old men and women who were sitting in the shade of the trees, greeted them with a smile, and then asked, "Grandpa and grandma, do you know anyone nearby who has a house for rent?"

An old man waved his hand and said, "No, no, we have barely enough space for our families to live in, where would we find a spare house to rent out?"

The lady next to him wanted to echo the old man's words, but just as she opened her mouth, she paused, frowned, recalled something, and said:

"Hey, didn't Jianguo's mother mention it a while ago, saying that when Jianguo and his family move to the apartment allocated by the company, they should rent out the vacant house at home? Have Jianguo and his family moved yet?"

The other lady thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I heard Jianguo's mother say that too."

"A few days ago, Jianguo moved to a building with his wife and children. Now his mother lives here alone."

"Little girl, you want to rent a house, right? Just keep walking along this road, and when you see a fork in the road, turn left. Walk a few more steps and you'll see a Chinese toon tree in the yard. That's it. Go over and ask for it yourself."

"Okay!" Jiang Tiange smiled with his eyes curved, "Thank you, grandparents!"

"Hey! This girl is so pretty and has a festive smile!"

Jiang Tiange was always generous with her kind words to those who were well-intentioned. She smiled and said, "Grandma, you are so kind when you speak, and you look so happy when you smile. You can tell at a glance that you are blessed!"

Jiang Tiange's words naturally made the old men and women laugh out loud. The old lady who was praised even stood up and said that she would take Jiang Tiange over personally.

But when Jiang Tiange saw that she was leaning on a cane, he politely declined.

The old lady smiled and said, "That's fine, you can just go over there. Jianguo's mother's surname is Li, you can just call her Aunt Li, she's a very nice person."

-

Following the old lady's instructions, Jiang Tiange walked in the alley for a few minutes and found the yard with the toon tree.

The outer door of the yard was open. When I looked up, I could see a lot of things placed in the yard, and I could also hear the noise of ping-pong from inside.

Jiang Tiange stood at the door and called out, "Is anyone home?"

"Who?"

After a while, a woman wearing sleeves, an apron, and a tattered straw hat on her head came out. She looked at Jiang Tiange and asked in confusion, "Comrade, who are you? What's the matter?"

Jiang Tiange said: "Auntie Li, I heard that you have a house for rent? I want to rent a house."

Hearing this, Aunt Li was delighted and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I have a house for rent, come in and take a look."

Leading Jiang Tiange inside, Aunt Li said with a smile, "I told my son a few days ago that after we cleaned up the house, we would go to the entrance of the alley to post a notice for renting the house. I didn't expect you to come before I posted it."

Then he asked, "Girl, how did you find this place?"

Jiang Tiange said that it was an old lady who was enjoying the cool air at the entrance of the alley who told her.

Following Aunt Li into the yard, Jiang Tiange saw the whole picture of the yard. Unlike those large courtyards where dozens of families lived together, this was a courtyard with a separate entrance and exit. Although the yard was not big, it had all the necessary facilities, and it was also quiet and tidy.

The house has a very common layout, with a main room, two bedrooms, and three small rooms on the left and right, which are the kitchen, utility room and bathroom.

There are two bedrooms, one for Aunt Li and the other for her son and daughter-in-law. Some time ago, Aunt Li's son's unit allocated housing, so her son, his wife and children moved to the building.

The house that Aunt Li wanted to rent out was the one her son had lived in before. "I've cleaned it up. If you want to rent it, you can move in today."

After the inspection, Jiang Tiange was satisfied with both the interior and exterior environment, so she asked about the rent.

Aunt Li smiled and started to speak:

"Look at my place. The location is good, the yard is nice, and my house was renovated just two years ago. If ordinary people want to live here, I may not give them a place to stay."

"I saw that you were a young girl, and you looked clean and tidy. You didn't look like someone who would waste things or be sloppy. That's why I agreed to let you live here. I won't charge you more, just ten dollars a month."

After saying that, she smiled and observed Jiang Tiange's reaction.

In fact, some days ago, she discussed the rent with her son and asked people who had rented out their houses. She had an idea of the current rent situation, which was seven or eight yuan a month, at most.

But, who doesn’t want to make more money?

Anyway, a deal can’t be done all at once. So just name your price first, and then talk about it later if it doesn’t work.

Jiang Tiange knew that Aunt Li's asking price was too high, but she didn't bargain. First, because the environment here was really good, and second, because she wouldn't stay here for long.

Jiang Tiange said, "Auntie, ten yuan a month is fine. I won't live here long, just a month or so. While I'm here, I want to eat with you, and I'll pay for the meal separately. Is that okay with you?"

Aunt Li was ready to haggle over the price, but when she heard that Jiang Tiange didn't bargain at all and had other business for her, she agreed without a second thought.

As for whether they stay long term or not, she doesn't mind. There are many people who want to rent the house anyway. She will post the notice after Jiang Tiange leaves.

The most important thing is to make money. As for the future, we will talk about it later.

Aunt Li had no objection, so Jiang Tiange paid this month's rent on the spot and said, "I'll move in tomorrow."

Aunt Li nodded readily, "Okay, I'll be home all day, just call me when you get here and I'll open the door for you."

After leaving Auntie Li's house, Jiang Tiange did not leave directly, but walked into the alley. She would be living here for more than a month, and she wanted to memorize all the roads around here.

After walking for a while, I unexpectedly discovered that there was a different world in this alley.

When she first arrived at the entrance of the alley, she thought the environment here was nice. But she didn't expect that there was a house with a guard standing guard at the door in the alley.

Some important person lives in this alley.

Looking at the majestic house, Jiang Tiange felt it was great.

In this way, the public security here will definitely be very good.
