After lunch, Zhang Tan left with Xiaobai, while Ding Jiamin and Tan Jiner met to see the house.
Tan Jin'er wants to change her house. The living conditions now are much better than when she first came to Pujiang. She just wants to change to a better house. The hardware of the house should be similar to the current one. It doesn't matter even if it is a little worse. She is more concerned about it.
What’s more important is that the surrounding environment of the community cannot be like where we live now, where people are mixed and people are always on tenterhooks.
Last time, a drunkard banged on the door and scared her and Xier so much that they finally asked Ding Jiamin to come and deal with it in the middle of the night.
After that, there were no more door knockings, but occasionally strangers would knock on the door and ask who it was without telling them who it was. They just knocked on the door, which was very scary.
The little sisters of the Tan family placed a stick and a small water gun behind the door in case of emergency.
The current rental house was rented by Tan Jin'er and Xi'er when they first came to Pujiang. At that time, she only had 3,000 yuan, which was the entire Tan family's net worth. She didn't dare to spend it randomly until she found a job.
If you usually live frugally, renting a house is your biggest expense, so when choosing a rental house, price is the biggest deciding factor.
Now she has been promoted at work and received a salary increase. After attending the one-week training last time, depending on the situation, she may still have the opportunity to be promoted and receive a salary increase, so she has the confidence to change her house. Even if she does not think about herself, she must do it for Xi'er.
For this reason, the little guy feels very insecure living in the current environment. He dares not go out at night, and sometimes even fights with the bad guys with his sister.
Considering Xi'er's schooling and her own work, Tan Jin'er's first choice was Huangjiacun. Not only is it close to the village, it also has a good environment. The village has complete supporting facilities, including food and drink.
Although it is a village, it is very old, but it has a sense of life, the environment is very good, the sanitation is very clean, the people who live here are also very civilized, and there is a strong neighborhood committee. You can often see the neighborhood committee aunt wandering around the streets and alleys
, roar when you see injustice.
Tan Jin'er and Ding Jiamin took their children and rode two small motorcycles to Huangjia Village to look for a house. There were many rental advertisements in the alleys of Huangjia Village. They found the landlord based on the phone number above to view the house. They looked at three houses.
Take a closer look at Doubi's mentality and find a fourth house.
The rental advertisement states that this house has one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, and is located on the third floor and the top floor.
Tan Jin'er thinks it's good. The one bedroom and one living room are not big, smaller than the one she lives in now, but it is enough for them, and the rent is only a little more expensive than the current one.
She called the landlord, who asked her to wait for 5 minutes and come over immediately.
Xi'er and Xiaomi got off the back seat of their scooter and looked around in the alley.
“Look, there is a dog~~~”
Xi'er saw a chubby little puppy emerging from the corner of the alley. When the puppy heard her voice, it stopped warily and looked at her.
“Come here, little dog, hiahia, little dog.”
Not only did the little dog not come over, but he took a few steps back, a little scared of her enthusiasm.
Xi'er ran over and when she reached the corner, she suddenly froze on the spot.
“Xi’er, did the dog run away?” Xiaomi asked.
Xi'er turned around, frowned, shook her head, and slowly backed away. After taking a few steps, seeing that the dogs didn't chase her out, she quickly quickened her pace, hid behind Tan Jin'er, pointed to the corner and said, "There are so many dogs."
~~~~"
Many dogs appeared one after another and looked at them.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7...and a little milk dog, 8!
The dogs did not come over, but stood not far away, looking at the strangers curiously.
At this time the landlord came, "Are you the ones who want to see the house?"
Tan Jin'er: "It's me, hello landlord."
The group of people walked through a narrow alley and came to the main entrance of the house. They walked upstairs to the third floor. The landlord introduced: "There are two households on the first floor. The one on the east side is already occupied, and the one on the west side is empty.
"
He opened the door and found that the house was very clean, but there were very few furniture. If he moved in, he would have to add furniture himself.
However, Tan Jin'er likes the environment here. It is quiet and private, and has good lighting. It is transparent on both sides and has a large corridor. You can plant flowers, green plants and succulents. When you are free, you can walk around the village after meals. This is a village in the city.
It is a treasure place with all kinds of interesting shops hidden inside.
Someone at the other end of the corridor had dried their clothes in the corridor and hung a giant panda doll to bask in the sun. Xi'er and Xiaomi ran to play with the giant panda doll.
Tan Jiner and Ding Jiamin negotiated the price with the landlord. The landlord said that if they could settle on it now, they could give her a 10% discount.
Tan Jin'er thought for a while, and after comprehensively considering all factors, he decisively chose this place and signed a contract on the spot for one year.
“This is the key to the house. If you have anything, you can contact me at any time.”
The landlord left, and Tan Jin'er looked around the house. Although it was still very simple, it would be her and Xi'er's home from now on.
“Xi’er, come here quickly and take a look at our new home.”
Xi'er walked around pretending to hold her little hands behind her back, looked at it, and said it's a good duck, a good duck here, such a good domestic duck, she likes it so much, hiahiahiahia, and then excitedly took Tan Jin'er out and pointed to the end of the corridor.
She said that the giant panda was too cute and she wanted to hug it.
“It belongs to someone else, so you can’t hug it.” Tan Jiner said.
Xi'er nodded, feeling regretful, but quickly said happily that there must be a little sister there with whom she could make friends and play with her giant panda.
“Let’s go, we’re going to move in the next few days.”
Xi'er ran to say goodbye to the giant panda.
“Xiaobai also lives here.” Suddenly Xiaomi said.
“Is this here?” Ding Jiamin asked.
When she asked, Xiaomi became confused. She was originally a road addict, and she could never tell the difference between east, west, north, and south in the criss-crossing Huangjia Village. Moreover, she had only been to Xiaobai's house once, and it was at night. After so long, she forgot
It's almost done.
She shook her head and whispered that it was not here.
But this reminded Tan Jin'er that Xiaobai also lived in Huangjia Village. If they were close, Xiaobai and Xi'er might be able to play together more often in the future.
The group of people returned to the community where they originally lived. Tan Jin'er was just about to call the landlord to check out. As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw the landlord there.
“Jin’er, just as I was looking for you, you showed up. It’s time to pay last month’s rent,” the landlord said.
“How much does the water and electricity cost? I’ll give it to you. Oh, by the way, landlord, I have something else to tell you. After this month, I won’t rent anymore and I’m going to move out.”
“Move? Aren’t you living well? Why are you moving? Where to move?”
“Moving to Huangjiacun is closer to where I work, and it’s also convenient for Xi’er to go to school.”
“hiahiahia~~~”
The landlord looked down at Xi'er who was smiling and said, "That's okay, but Jin'er, I've been living there for more than ten days this month, so the rent still has to be paid for the whole month."
“Okay, landlord, let’s go through the formalities today. We all happen to be here.”
“Wait a minute, I’ll get the rental agreement.”
The landlord left. Tan Jin'er opened the door, welcomed Ding Jiamin and others in, poured water, and turned on the TV for Xiaomi and Xi'er to watch.
Ding Jiamin looked at the house and said, "Jin'er, when are you going to move? Remember to call me when the time comes and I will help."
“Don’t bother, I’ll hire a moving company.”
“Then you have to pack it, and I’ll pack it for you. Although you don’t have any big items at home, there are quite a lot of small items. If you have more people and more hands, don’t refuse.”
“I don’t refuse, I’m just surprised that you said so many words at once.”
Xiaomi raised her head from the TV, looked at them and said, "Sister Xiao Min tells stories very well."
Tan Jin'er smiled and asked, "Really?"
"it is true."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi'er ran up to Ding Jiamin and sat down, folding her hands on her knees and looking at her expectantly with her little head raised.
Ding Jiamin: “??”
Xi'er hiahiahia smiled and said: "I don't watch TV anymore. There are no good stories on TV. Sister Xiao Min tells stories."
Ding Jiamin: “???”
Millet:"???"
Only Tan Jiner is not surprised.
Ding Jiamin liked Xi'er very much and did not refuse the children's request. She sat down and told them stories.
“What do you want to hear?” she asked.
"Princess and the Pea." Xi'er said impatiently.
“Princess and the Pea? I haven’t heard of it. I’ll look for it first.”
Ding Jiamin looked up Princess and the Pea on her mobile phone, but there was no one. She asked Tan Jin'er, who said she didn't know either.
“Xi’er, where did you hear about Princess and the Pea?” Tan Jin’er asked Xi’er.
“Boss Zhang, Boss Zhang is great at telling stories. I like him so much.” Xi’er was full of praise for Boss Zhang.
Tan Jin'er: "Let's change it, we don't know the story of the Princess and the Pea."
"You are not as powerful as Boss Zhang. Sister Xiao Min, you need to study more."
Ding Jiamin: “……”
Tan Jin'er smiled and said: "Yes, yes, we need to read more. In the evening we will ask Boss Zhang about the story of the Princess and the Pea."
Unexpectedly, Xi'er said: "Sister, you don't need to study more, you are so awesome. Sister Xiaomin, you need to study more."
Ding Jiamin: “????”
I have never seen such a protective kid!
Ding Jiamin was telling Xier and Xiaomin the story of the little crocodile, when the landlord came into the house.
“Yo, are you telling a story?”
He is a middle-aged man, not a local, but a migrant worker. He contracted this residential building and made a living by collecting rent.
