Return To 1998

Chapter 42: Renting

   Xujia Village is far away, and the black-topped boat rang suddenly, cutting through the waves in the middle of the river. The speed is not slow, but it is very steady.

  Because there were more people going to the county in the morning, the cabins were full at this time. Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin, who had just boarded the boat, could only sit on the bow. Both seemed a little silent and did not speak for a while.

   This is Xu Tonglin’s first time to go out for a break, and he hasn’t had a stable job yet. This trip to the county is to set up a stall, it’s really a break!

   It's the first time to leave home and go out for a break. For him, that feeling is naturally complicated.

   Of course, it is not the first time that Xu Tongdao went out. Before he was born again, he had done too much work, and sometimes he himself couldn't remember how many kinds of work he had done.

  He was silent at this time, more thinking about what to do when he went to the county seat...

   Although he has thought about this problem many times in the past half month, he really went to the county town today. In order not to waste time and energy, he thinks it is better to do it again.

   "Trail!"

   Xu Tonglin suddenly called him.

   "Huh? What?"

   Xu Tongdao heard the sound and turned to look at Xu Tonglin beside him.

   Xu Tonglin grinned reluctantly, "Let’s go to the county today... the first thing is to rent a house, right?"

   Xu Tongdao told him about this a few days ago.

  Xu Tongdao nodded slightly, "Yes! Do you have any ideas?"

  Xu Tonglin: "Did you think about where to rent it? Let's save enough money to set up the stall. Is the money you earned recently really enough?"

   He is only worried about this problem at this time, is it a bit late?

  Xu Tongdao smiled slightly, "Enough! Renting a house in the county is not expensive. For a single room, dozens of dollars a month should be enough."

"how do you know?"

   Xu Tonglin felt strange.

  Xu Tongdao smiled, "I heard what people said."

   It is naturally impossible for him to tell Xu Tonglin the truth, for fear of scaring him.

   The two chatted without a word, time slowly passed, and when the sun quietly emerged from the clouds, the boat stopped at the pier in the county seat.

   Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin carried their luggage in large and small bags, and went ashore with the crowd.

   "Which way to go?"

   After walking the dozens of steps at the dock, and looking at the T-shaped intersection in front of him, Xu Tonglin stopped and asked Xu Tongdao.

   At this time, he may have regretted coming with Xu Tongdao.

   This county is too strange for him. Although he has been with his parents more than a dozen times since he was a child, every time he comes home he buys something near the dock. He has no idea what the rest of the county is like.

   He guessed that Xu Tongdao, who was his age, was the same.

   Under such circumstances, can they really make a name for themselves when they come to this county seat?

   Rent a house?

  Do you know where to rent?

   "Here! Come with me!"

   As Xu Tongdao said, he followed the road in front of him, all the way to the west.

   "Do you know where is ahead?"

   Although Xu Tonglin followed, his expression was very puzzled.

"heard about it!"

   Xu Tongdao answered casually.

   Xu Tonglin frowned, "Then where do you think the front is?"

   "The wind and moon are boundless!"

   Xu Tongdao is still concise and concise.

   "What? What is boundless? What name is so strange?"

   Xu Tonglin looked dazed.

  Xu Tongdao was carrying luggage in his hand at this time, walking a little bit of breath, where is the mind to talk to him forever?

   So this time he glanced at Xu Tonglin and said, "You'll know if you go with me, don't have so many questions! Save a bit of effort, you!"

"Oh oh!"

   After this time, Xu Tonglin finally did not speak for a while, and honestly followed Xu Tongdao with his luggage.

   Just like that, the two of them walked forward at two traffic light intersections, and Xu Tonglin suddenly noticed that most of the shops in front were closed.

   One after another, the rolling shutters were put to the end, and there were no pedestrians on the street, but there were quite a few cars parked on the side of the road.

   "Why don't the shops here open during the day?"

   He finally couldn't help it, and asked Xu Tongdao.

   "The doors are open most of the afternoon!"

   Xu Tongdao casually explained.

"how do you know?"

   Xu Tonglin felt strange again.

   "Guess it!"

   Xu Tongdao casually perfuse.

   "Huh? There are so many ballrooms here! There are also a lot of barbershops. Why are these barbershops closed this morning?"

   Not long after, Xu Tonglin spoke again.

   Xu Tongdao hummed, and led him to move on.

   Xu Tonglin is probably a little tired from walking, "Trail, how long do we have to walk?"

"Soon!"

   "How long is it coming soon?"

   "If it's fast, it's fast."

  ……

   walked a little further, Xu Tongdao looked at a small alley on the side of the road, took a few glances, and suddenly turned into this alley.

"follow me!"

"Where is this?"

   "I don't know!"

   "I don't know? I don't know where it is. You brought me in?"

   "Stop talking nonsense! Help to see if there is anything for rent on the doors and walls on both sides, rent a house! What do you call this place for?"

   "Huh? Rent a house here?"

   "How about? Let's look for cheap ones, of course we look for remote alleys!"

  ……

   Not to mention, there are really many rental houses in this small alley.

  In about half an hour, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin saw more than a dozen rental notices one after another, and some notices were written directly on the wall with red bricks.

But for half an hour, Xu Tongdao just watched, and didn’t knock on any door to ask for the price~lightnovelpub.net~ Xu Tonglin was puzzled, "Xiaodao, aren’t we renting a house? So many rental houses, why are you? Don't knock on the door and ask? Can we just rent it?"

   "Let’s look at it outside first, okay! Now it’s almost time to see it, let’s go back! Go to the alley entrance and ask! I remember there are several yards there, let’s mainly ask those!"

   Xu Tongdao said, turning around and walking back.

   Xu Tonglin was stunned, "Isn't it? Go back again? You said it earlier!"

  Xu Tongdao ignored him, and strode towards the alleyway. He had just walked so far along this alleyway. He has roughly figured out the situation here, and it feels best to live in the alleyway.

   Not only is it close to the main road along the river, but there are also several yards there. If they return to barbecue, they must be mainly engaged in business at night. During the day, they need a place to prepare skewers. If there is a yard, it will be much more convenient.

   Besides, people with yards here are usually bungalows.

  The rent of a bungalow is generally cheaper than that of a building.

   took Xu Tonglin, who was almost immobile, to a courtyard gate near the alley. Xu Tongdao finally put down his luggage and patted the door knocker.

   "Who?"

  Xu Tongdao took several shots, and compared them with each other, and finally there was an old man's voice in the yard.

   "Master! Is the landlord here? We want to rent a house!"

  Xu Tongdao shouted inside.

   "Oh, rent a house... Wait a minute! I'm getting old and can't walk fast, huh."

   Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin waited outside the door for a long time, before the courtyard door was opened, and in front of them was an old man with snow-white hair with a cane in his hand.
