Chapter 172 Renting a House

In fact, Li Wen had already inquired about the job of a buyer, otherwise he would not have rushed to work as a buyer!

It’s not easy to be a buyer these days. You have to run around doing business all day long. The key is that the transportation is not very good. You can ride a bicycle if you are close, and you can ride a car or train if you are far away, which is really miserable.

Xie Fangfang probably gave Li Wen an extra apple, so she explained it in detail to Li Wen. Of course, Li Wen was not a noob, and he would occasionally ask some questions or praise Xie Fangfang.

Under Li Wen's humbly asking for advice and flattery, Xie Fangfang let out goose-like laughter from time to time. This is how society is, everyone likes smooth and sweet-tongued people.

If someone says that he doesn't like others to praise him, it means that this person is not familiar with you. All fools like others to praise themselves.

"Sister Fang, do our temporary workers have any work assignments?" Li Wen said with a smile.

"Temporary workers do not have specific tasks, and their work is relatively simple. They mainly follow the regular workers to purchase and run errands. You first run the business with your sister. When you are proficient in the business and can run the orders yourself, then you will start working.

"Xie Fangfang said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll ask Sister Fang for your support in the future." Li Wen chuckled and cupped his hands.

"You have a smooth tongue and are not stingy with your actions. You will definitely be an excellent buyer in the future." Xie Fangfang smiled and rolled her eyes at Li Wen.

"By the way, Sister Fang, does our unit have staff dormitories? I just came to Chang'an City and I don't have a place to live yet." Li Wen asked with a smile.

"The unit has accommodation for employees, but only two to four people live in one room, which is very inconvenient. If you have money, I suggest you rent a room outside, which only costs 2 yuan a month." Xie Fangfang smiled.

said.

"Sister, after you become a full-time employee, will your unit give you a house?" Li Wen asked with a smile.

"You have to work for five or six years before you can allocate a house, and it has to be necessary for marriage, so you can apply for a house allocation."

"The workplace has also been difficult in recent years. Many people are waiting to be allocated a house. New employees should not think about it. Unless you have made great contributions or become a model worker in the workplace, you will have a chance to be assigned a house."

"Moreover, the houses allocated are relatively small, each measuring thirty or forty square meters, which is not enough for a family." Xie Fangfang said with a smile.

Li Wen thought that in the early 1960s, when the population was relatively small, there were relatively more housing units. Unexpectedly, there was already such a shortage of housing at this time.

Finally, when I think about the situation in the past few years, and based on the history of later generations, I feel relieved. The country has only been established for 13 years, with many wastes waiting to be revitalized, and the national system has not yet stabilized.

Over the years, large and small purge wars have never ceased. They targeted bald heads, bandits, and gangsters. In the past few years, they also fought against the so-called half of the world represented by Chou Country.

He still clearly remembered that the country was going to fight Erhei again in a month. This time, Erhei almost called him daddy, and he was intimidated for more than half a century after that.

For a time, Li Wen felt proud and praised the rise of Daxia in later generations. At the same time, he also felt a little sad after being proud. The road to the rise of the country was really full of thorns!

Through the chat just now, Li Wen also learned that Xie Fangfang is a native of Chang'an, a dual-income family, and her husband is a transportation driver.

This is a very wealthy family. In this era, drivers are a special type of work and their income is not low. No wonder they look down on the dozens of square meters of houses allocated by their work units.

"Sister Fang, you are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is. Thirty or forty square meters is a lot. You have a house in the city, but we rural people can only dream of it." Li Wen said with a smile.

"You're only 15 years old, you're still young! Work hard and try to become a full-time employee as soon as possible. Then you can save money to buy a house by yourself." Xie Fangfang joked with a smile.

"Sister Fang, do you know anyone who rents a house? I would like to rent a small yard." Li Wenyan returned to the subject.

"Hey! You really know this."

"Sister Tao, stop knitting sweaters. Don't you have a vacant house at home? Have you rented it out?" Xie Fangfang turned to the female colleague knitting sweaters and asked.

"Xiaowen, do you want to rent a house?"

The female colleague who knits sweaters is named Tao Hong. She is about forty years old. She looks like she belongs to a cadre family. She wears a girl's coat and leather shoes.

"right!"

"Sister Tao, I just came to the provincial capital and I don't have a place to live yet. If you want to rent out your house, you can rent it to me." Li Wen said with a smile.

"You brat, my eldest son is almost 20 years old, and you still call me sister." Tao Hong scolded with a smile.

"Haha! Don't you look young? I think it's more appropriate to call me sister." Li Wen flattered you.

"I'm young and glib, so I can rent it to you, but my house is a small courtyard with two rooms and a kitchen. I don't want to sublet it for fear of trouble. It's still vacant for the time being. It won't be cheap for you to rent it." Tao

Hong finished laughing and said seriously.

"That's perfect. I'm just thinking about renting a small courtyard with one or two rooms! It seems that your house is just for me." Li Wen was also very happy after hearing this.

Li Wen is used to living alone, and he has a lot of privacy, but he is not used to living with others. Renting a single room is also troublesome. He often cooks by himself, and the big fish and meat are not good.

"The overall rental price of my yard is 10 yuan a month. Xiaowen, it's not easy for you when you first come here. I'll charge you eight yuan!"

"But we agreed in advance that the rent will have to be paid on time in the future." Tao Hong said with a smile.

"Okay, Sister Tao, we'll go look at the house after get off work. If it's suitable, I'll pay to rent it today." Li Wen thought about it and decided to rent it. Although eight yuan is not cost-effective, Li Wen is not short of money.

, it feels very worthwhile.

Tao Hong was also very happy. Although it was two yuan cheaper, she finally rented out the house that had been vacant for more than half a year.

Her yard is too small for two families and too big for one family. No ordinary family would be willing to spend ten yuan to rent a house!

Hearing that Li Wen, a rural man, was willing to spend eight yuan a month to rent a house, several other colleagues in the office dared to look down on him.

This is the case these days. If you have a rural registered permanent residence or are a temporary worker, you will definitely be looked down upon by others.

Tao Hong looked at the lady's watch on her wrist and put the wool in her hand into the drawer. "It's almost time to get off work. Xiaowen, please pack up. Let's go see the house!"

"Sister Tao, please wait at the door while I say hello to Section Chief Sun." Li Wen looked at the time and saw that it was almost six o'clock. It was indeed almost time to get off work.

"I asked your aunt to clean up the room at noon, you kid." Sun Lianying heard that Li Wen had made an appointment with someone to rent a house and persuaded him.

"Uncle Sun, I can stay at your house for two days as a guest. I have to find a place to live when I go to work. Your house only has three rooms, which is not enough." Li Wen waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, but you have to stay at your uncle's house tonight. Your aunt and I will go over there tomorrow to help you clean up." Sun Lianying didn't try to persuade him to stay.

"Ha ha!"

"That's for sure. I have to go to your house to have dinner tonight! Uncle, I won't stop. Sister Tao is still waiting for me." Li Wen walked out of Sun Lianying's office with a smile.

When he returned to the office, all his colleagues had left. Li Wen did not stop, but went to the yard and pushed his bicycle out of the department store.

"Hey! Xiaowen, you bought a bicycle just after you got to work." At the gate, Tao Hong was already pushing a women's bicycle and was waiting. She was also surprised when she saw Li Wen pushing the bicycle.

"Sister Tao, my family sold the pig and bought it because of the famine caused by others, just to prevent me from being looked down upon when I go to work." Li Wen started to talk nonsense.

"You talk so much about trains, don't think I don't know how rural families can afford bicycles!" Tao Hong rolled her eyes at Li Wen.

"Hey! My family is related to Director Sun, so I borrowed it from him." Li Wen knew that he couldn't fool anyone, so he pulled out Sun Lianying as a shield. After all, the matter of Sun Lianying bringing him into the company would be made public sooner or later.

"That's pretty much it. Let me just say, it turns out you and Xiao Sun are relatives." Tao Hong had completely figured out that Li Wen could come to work with a rural registered permanent residence.

The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and rode their bicycles to a village in the south of the city in less than 20 minutes.

"This is my small yard. How about Xiaowen? It's not bad, isn't it?" The two came to a private house, and Tao Hong pointed to a blue brick door and said.

"Yes, it's a blue brick and tile house. The door is very well built. It seems that Sister Tao's family used to be a wealthy family!" Li Wen looked at the blue brick and tile house in front of him and said with a smile.

"What! You can't talk nonsense. This is what my husband's uncle left for him." Tao Hong rolled her eyes at Li Wen.

"I haven't been here much for half a year. The house is a bit dirty. You need to clean it up when the time comes." Tao Hong felt a little embarrassed when she opened the courtyard door and looked at the leaves all over the courtyard.

"It's okay, as long as the house doesn't leak from the air or rain, I'll just clean it up when the time comes." Li Wen didn't care about these little things.

Li Wen walked around and found that the yard was not big, only half the size of the yard where he usually lived in the county town. However, it was built with blue bricks and blue tiles, and the house was very solid.

"Xiao Wen, the house is fully equipped with tables, cabinets and iron pots. You can move in directly with your bedding and dishes." Tao Hong checked whether the house was leaking, and then looked at Li Wen expectantly.

"Sister Tao, your house is very nice. I'm very satisfied with it. This is two months' rent. Please keep it." Li Wen understood what Tao Hong meant and took out 16 yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

"Xiao Wen is so generous. If you give me two months at a time, I will accept it!" Tao Hong counted the money, put it in her pocket with a smile after it was correct.

"Here, Xiaowen, here is the key. I won't stay any longer. I have to cook for the children when I get back. If there is any problem with the house, please tell me anytime." Tao Hong greeted her and left the yard with a smile.

"It seems that landlords in that era were all the same! They smiled when collecting the rent and immediately moved out after collecting the rent." Li Wen looked at Tao Hong who was walking quickly with emotion.
