Coming out of the south gate of No. 5 Middle School, there is a very busy street with many shops along the street.
Wang Chen was originally going to catch a bus at the bus stop in front of him, but he stopped at a bicycle shop on the roadside.
"Classmate, do you want to buy a bicycle?"
The boss had just opened the rolling shutter door and was about to take out the new bicycles in the store for display. When he saw Wang Chen who was stopping to watch, he immediately showed a big smile.
Wang Chen pointed: "Boss, how much does this car cost?"
The owner of the bicycle shop looked in the direction of his finger and was suddenly confused: "Ah? You want this car?"
What Wang Chen was referring to was an "antique" 28-inch sedan!
"That's right!"
This kind of bicycle has been popular for decades in the last century. At first, its status in people's minds was no less than that of the current BBA. However, with the development of the times, it has long been eliminated.
Only some elderly people and people with nostalgic feelings will keep it.
It is rare for Wang Chen, a teenage boy, to look at a 28-inch big bar instead of looking at those red and green mountain bikes.
At least the shop owner had never seen it before, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "This car is my treasure!"
The treasure of the store is of course a joke. In fact, his father bought this 28-inch big bar from someone else at the beginning of the year. He almost broke his bones after riding it once.
The shop owner threw it in the shop to see if someone would take advantage of it.
It turns out!
Wang Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense to the other party: "I want three hundred yuan."
"Tsk!"
The shop owner smacked his teeth and said, "Classmate, my 28-inch big bar is an original product from Phoenix. It is at least 80% new. Isn't 300 yuan too little?"
Wang Chen turned around and left.
"Oh!"
The shop owner quickly shouted: "Here you go, I'll sell it to you for three hundred!"
The main thing is a shuttlecock.
Wang Chen took out 300 yuan and bought this 70% new Phoenix brand 28-inch big stick.
The Alipay QR code scanning service has just been launched in 2012, and it is still several years away from being fully popularized. It is naturally impossible for such a street store to have a QR code for payment.
Before Wang Chen went back to school last night, he found an ATM machine and withdrew 10,000 yuan.
Riding on this 28-inch big bar, Wang Chen immediately became the most handsome guy on the street!
The return rate is quite high.
He rode to the International Cyber City, which was not far away.
The mobile phone Wang Chen is currently using is second-hand. Not only is it in excellent condition, but it is also very laggy in daily use.
Changing the machine is necessary.
Wang Chen originally planned to change to a kidney machine. After all, the kidney machine is now the best in every aspect.
But when he saw the "MEIZU" sign hanging on the door of a store, as a former "kerosene", he turned directly in.
Then I spent 2999 to buy the latest Meizu mobile phone.
Meizu MX quad-core 32G version.
Classic black and white, classic dots, and classic Flyme...
Familiar taste.
In fact, there is also a 64G version for sale in the store, but the price is 1,000 more, so Wang Chen thinks it is better to save money.
He doesn’t play mobile games anyway.
After buying the new phone, Wang Chen transferred the address book of the old phone to the store, installed various commonly used software, and also set up a 3G data plan.
As for the original worn-out mobile phone, Wang Chen replaced it with a mobile phone holder.
When he rides the 28th bar again, he will be able to enjoy high-tech mobile phone navigation services.
Speeding all the way, Wang Chen rode for more than ten kilometers and arrived at Shangma Village next to the Pegasus River.
This area was originally a rural area, but with the continuous expansion of the main urban area of the provincial capital, it has now been included in the new urban area.
The Pegasus River, which originates from Pegasus Lake, meanders eastward, nourishing vast areas of land on both sides of the river, as well as villages.
Shangma Village is a very large village, and there used to be an industrial zone nearby, so it is very prosperous and lively.
Now that the entire industrial zone has been relocated, the land in the village has been included in the requisition scope, and the villagers have also moved to well-off new homes a few miles away, so the old village is much deserted.
Only some old villagers still stay in their old homes and will not leave until official demolition begins.
But Wang Chen knew very well that they could still live there for three or four years.
He found a local agency nearby and proposed to rent a house in Shangma Old Village.
The agent was surprised.
Not only because of Wang Chen's young age, but more importantly because the old village of Shangma is about to be demolished. Will renting a house at this time get kicked in the head?
Out of good intentions, he explained the situation to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. You can live here as long as you want. I'll move out as soon as it's demolished!"
He emphasized: "This can be written in the contract."
Since Wang Chen didn't care, the intermediary couldn't push the business out and immediately picked up the phone to contact the landlord.
The agent himself is from Shangma Village and is very familiar with the local situation. After understanding Wang Chen's requirements, he quickly found a suitable house for Wang Chen.
After making an appointment with the landlord on the phone, he took Wang Chen over to view the house.
The main focus is efficiency.
The landlord is a gray-haired old man, who the agent always calls "Grandpa" whenever he sees him. His home is a two-and-a-half-story rural house. Not only does it have a spacious front yard and backyard, but there is also a three-quarter vegetable patch next to it.
.
The old man is getting older, and his family has moved to a new village, so he is worried about him staying alone in his hometown.
However, this old man felt that if no one lived in his home, it would quickly become overgrown with weeds and become ruined. Regardless of whether it was going to be demolished, he stubbornly stated that he would not move unless someone came to live in his home.
As for the rent, it is a trivial matter.
The landlord's requirements coincided with Wang Chen's needs, and the two parties hit it off.
Wang Chen rented this house for 1,000 a month, which also comes with the right to use three-thirds of the vegetable patch next to it. No deposit is required to pay for the electricity bill, and the furniture and appliances inside are also free to use.
Live there until demolition.
Wang Chen paid the first month's rent and agency fee, and got the house key and a contract.
Everyone is happy.
After the landlord and the agent left, Wang Chen walked around the house and finally came to the third floor terrace.
The terrace is large, with some flowers and plants placed in the corner, and two tables and chairs.
Sitting on the chair, you can not only enjoy the pastoral scenery on both sides of the Pegasus River, but also enjoy the scenery of the Pegasus Lake Wetland in the distance, bathing in the wind from the wilderness, it feels really comfortable.
With such a good location and such a big house, if it is converted into a B&B ten years later, it will probably cost one thousand yuan to stay there for one day.
After admiring the scenery of the countryside, Wang Chen went downstairs and left.
Before leaving, Wang Chen hung a new door lock on the door.
In the next two years, this will be his comfortable home in the provincial capital!——
