Along the way, the short fat man was bragging about the extraordinary features of the small courtyard. Listening to his description, Xue Xiang felt extremely satisfied.
Sure enough, it is not far from the Reform Commission compound. It is about 500 meters southward after turning around Yuetan Park. From here, it only takes a few minutes to ride to the Reform Commission.
First of all, Xue Xiang was satisfied with the geographical location.
The house is at the corner of the street, and the gate faces the street. On the left is the north wall of Yuetan Park, and on the right is the dense woods, which is also a scenic area facing the lake. Go around the back of the house, and you will reach a bay in just ten steps.
Haizi is clear and blue. Although it is not vast, it is very quiet. At that time, the setting sun is shining brightly, and the water is reflected diagonally. Half of the bay is rustling, and the other half is blood red. It is extremely quiet and beautiful.
Xue Xiang fell in love with this courtyard as soon as he laid eyes on it, feeling that it was a gift from heaven.
After walking around the front and back of the house for a long time, I walked around to the main door. General Tie was still holding the door.
Before Xue Xiang could ask questions, the short fat man became anxious and stamped his feet, "Damn it, I agreed to do something today, but I haven't seen anyone for a long time. I really don't take us seriously. Just wait, her house is not far away.
It's just next door." As he said that, he ran towards the west, and in a blink of an eye, he jumped into an alley and disappeared.
Xue Xiang was not worried that he would run away. He waited in front of the door for a while, but when no one came back, he moved to the back of the house, looked back, and suddenly found two old locust trees planted close to the back wall.
It is as thick as a hug, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and is so majestic that it even penetrates the inner wall of Yuetan Park at its height.
The two old locust trees are only four or five steps apart. They are both connected by a rope as thick as a thumb. A wooden board is connected in the middle of the rope, which is a simple swing.
Xue Laosan suddenly felt like a child. He walked over, sat on it, and began to wander leisurely. The sunset was over the water, and the wind was blowing on the ground. If he held Xiao in his mouth and the cave was leisurely, he would be independent from the world and become an immortal.
We were facing the lake at night, and when I suddenly felt deep in thought, I heard the sound of the door opening. Knowing that someone was calling me, I quickly got off the swing and walked back to the front door. Sure enough, the door opened. The short fat man was standing at the door.
Look left and right.
Xue Xiang said hello to him, walked in, and began to look at his future residence.
The house is made of blue bricks and red tiles. Facing the main entrance is the main house, which is about forty or fifty square meters in size by visual inspection. Next to the left side of the main house, there is a slightly shorter house with a tall chimney. It must be
kitchen.
This is all the houses. For normal people, it will undoubtedly seem cramped, but for Xue Xiang, it is perfect.
He is really not very diligent. The fewer houses he has, the easier it is to clean. Moreover, he lives alone, and as long as he has the basic functions of living, he doesn't care whether the house is big or small.
If the main house only satisfied Xue Xiang, then the courtyard impressed him.
In the courtyard, which is about the same size as the main house, a road about two meters wide is paved with green bricks, facing the main house. Over time, thick moss has grown on the green bricks, which is green and lovely, soft and soft when stepped on.
Like stepping on a carpet.
There are soil foundations on the left and right sides, with vegetation growing on each side.
On the left side, forty or fifty green bamboos were planted sparsely, all of which were as thick as two fingers. During the planting process, they were carefully laid out, tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Especially in the center, there was a space about the size of a summer bed.
space.
If it's midsummer and the night never ends, put a bamboo bed here, light a plate of incense beside the bed to drive away mosquitoes, lie on the bamboo bed, shake the cattail leaf fan lightly, and look at the starry sky.
, to realize the infinity of the universe, there is nothing more leisurely and comfortable than this.
On the right are two gardens surrounded by flowers and plants. The former owner here was unique and elegant. The two gardens are also arranged like a bamboo forest. The outer circle is dense, covered with red flowers and green leaves, and the middle is hollow.
Each has a round table.
Next to the kitchen is a stone table, with four stone benches placed around the table. Facing each stone bench, a narrow path is opened for entry and exit. With this arrangement, I am afraid that the previous owner of this elegant house would not eat while dining.
location.
The reason for this judgment is that in the center of another adjacent garden, there is a main table, with only two bamboo chairs facing each other.
With this comparison, it is easy to judge that the main table is elegant and is used for drinking tea, and the drinker must be a close friend. One close friend is enough, and the bamboo table is simple and elegant, which is consistent with the charm of tea.
The stone table is stable and stable, suitable for placing four dishes and one soup, and a family of four sitting around it to eat.
In short, whether it is drinking tea or dining, the amazing ingenuity in designing such a situation is really amazing!
The more Xue Laosan looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. He really wished he could move in right away.
He had already thought about it. In the summer, he would stay on a bamboo bed, just drink and drink tea, and live in the shade of flowers. Only in this way could he live up to the ingenuity of the previous owner.
With a creaking sound, the main room opened. Xue Xiang then remembered that he had not seen the landlord. The person who walked out of the main room must be him. He looked over and was stunned immediately. He couldn't help but rub his eyes.
What you see is still the small face as big as a palm, with a straight nose, big eyes, and wet hair covering the head. Who else could it be if it wasn't the annoying and arrogant subordinate, Director Mu Xuefeimu?
"Are you the landlord?"
"Are you a tenant?"
Xue Xiang and Mu Xuefei asked in unison.
The short fat man was surprised and happy, and said, "You two know each other, so that's good. Renting the house to an acquaintance will make you feel more at ease. Boss Mu, I brought him here, do you want to sign the contract?"
Mu Xuefei sneered, her nostrils turned upward, and hummed, "What kind of contract are you signing? Wu Yingxiong, you are not mistaken. You said he was the one renting the house? Then I am very sorry, and I can only refund your deposit!"
As he said that, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out three big unity pictures, and slapped them into the short fat man's hands.
Xue Xiang didn't have time to be surprised by the unfamiliar name of the short fat man. He said coldly, "Comrade Mu Xuefei, what are you doing? Public is public and private is private. You can't even tell the difference between public and private."
If he had known it was Mu Xuefei's house, he wouldn't have come to see it no matter what, but now that he has walked around this small courtyard, he is satisfied to the core with this small private courtyard. In other words, he is determined to win it.
Mu Xuefei sneered and said, "Leader, to tell you the truth, no one has taught me what is public and what is private. I really can't tell the difference. I only know that this is my house and I am willing to rent it to whomever. No.
I am free to rent to whomever I want, and you will not intend to force the rent. This is not good. We all know each other well. If I can't help but talk nonsense in the unit, it will not be good for your reputation."
Suddenly, she found that bumping into Xue Xianglai when renting a house was no longer so annoying, but rather a bit relaxing.
Today, she was quite frightened by the man named Xue, but he was the leader. Once he had the power, he would issue orders. She didn't know that she would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to regain her position.
Who would have thought, God is with you, the June debt must be repaid quickly, the big revenge will be avenged in less than a night. (To be continued...)
