Chapter 67: Embracing the lap of the country’s father (4)
Less than two thousand, what can you do with this little money.
Maybe you can rent a house, buy some daily necessities, and then be gone.
After a while, the tricycle soliciting customers parked at the door of the wet market. The driver was an old man, and the fare was based on the distance. Most of the places where tricycles like this go are nearby, so it only costs five yuan a time.
The farther ones cost six or seven yuan.
After arriving at the place, Zhou Jinrou gave the money, and then the mother and son got out of the car.
After dropping the person off, the tricycle left again.
"Mom, it's over there, let's go and take a look."
"Okay, Xiaobei, stay with mom, be careful of the car, and don't run around."
"Mom, I know."
Next to the vegetable market, there is a place specially used for posting small advertisements. This is also to prevent those who post advertisements from posting them everywhere, so this space is free for posting advertisements. Don't think that posting here is free.
, of course not. There is a fee here. It costs two yuan to stick one piece. If you pay five yuan, you can stick it for a week. After the expiration, the aunt will come and tear it off and replace it with a new one.
Standing under the advertising wall.
Xiao Yu looked at the various advertisements above carefully.
Some of the papers posted are printed or written directly with a pen. The colors are different, mostly red and white.
There are quite a lot of advertisements, including store transfers, KTV recruitment, and even hotel dishwasher recruitment advertisements. In addition, there are advertisements for various house rentals. Xiao Yu can understand the contents of these advertisements, of course.
Sometimes, he will also encounter words he does not recognize.
Xiao Yu is only in the second grade now. Without pinyin, it is normal to have unfamiliar words.
"Mom, look here, and here.
“The photos posted here are all for rent.”
Hearing his son speak, Zhou Jinrou walked forward with a cane and said, "Let me take a look."
Zhou Jinrou took a look and saw that it was indeed an advertisement for house rentals. The houses for rent include single rooms and suites.
No. Wenxi Road, second and third floors for rent, contact information?.
"Private houses for rent in Xihe Lane, contact information on the first and third floors?..."
After watching several advertisements in succession, Zhou Jinrou finally saw one that she thought was suitable.
"This two-bedroom apartment seems to be okay, but it doesn't say how much it costs per month. I'll call first and ask."
While talking, Zhou Jinrou took out her mobile phone and started making calls.
The bell rang, and after a while, the call was connected.
"Hello"
The voice is that of a woman.
Hearing the voices, Zhou Jinrou said hello.
"Hello, do you have a house for rent there? I saw your house for rent advertisement in the market, so I called to ask."
"Ah, do you want to rent a house? Sorry, the house was rented out two days ago."
All rented out.
Zhou Jinrou is a little disappointed.
"Okay, excuse me."
"It's okay. Goodbye then. I'll hang up."
"Okay."
Hang up the phone.
Zhou Jinrou continued to look at other things, and then picked the ones she thought were suitable and continued to make calls to inquire about the situation. She contacted several homeowners in succession.
None of them are suitable. Either it is rented out, or the price is too expensive, and the other party wants to rent it for half a year, and she can't afford it.
It might be all in vain.
You can’t rent a house here.
"Let's go look elsewhere."
"There is nothing suitable here."
"Well, Mom, let's look for it again."
"Okay."
At the same time, Zhao’s mother, who was preparing to buy vegetables for dinner, was driving a tricycle to the vegetable market.
She parked her car on the side of the road and was about to buy groceries. She saw three people walking not far away, a woman and two children. The woman was quite pretty, and the two children following her
The boy is even more handsome.
Judging by their looks, they should be a mother and son. But the woman’s legs and feet seem to be inconvenient.
Mother Zhao can't help but take a second look at good-looking people.
When she was looking at the other party, she saw that the other party also saw her.
It was a bit embarrassing to stare at people. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the woman walking towards her with a cane.
Maybe it’s because Zhao’s mother looks very kind.
After Zhou Jinrou saw her, she smiled at her and said hello.
"Hello."
"Sister, may I ask if there is a house for rent nearby?"
Oh, it turns out I want to rent a house.
This is the right person to ask.
"It's true, but what kind of one do you want to rent?"
Ma Zhao has a good relationship with the neighbors. She is very popular, especially the uncles and aunties who sell vegetables on the roadside, and she is very familiar with them. Therefore, she really knows who has a house to rent nearby. p>
Of course, don't look at the uncles and aunties selling vegetables. If you sit on the roadside selling some side dishes, you will feel that they are very poor and pitiful.
No, no, you are overthinking. In fact, they are not poor at all, and may have more money than you. As for selling vegetables, it is because they are too busy and cannot finish the vegetables they grow at home, so they pick them and sell them. Maybe
, this is called low-key.
Don't ask, just ask because she saw it with her own eyes.
That was last year. On a rainy day, she saw an old man wearing a raincoat sitting on the roadside selling onions and vegetables. There were two fish in a pot next to him.
Seeing him sitting there for a long time with no one buying, she felt sad, so she went up and bought them all, hoping that he would go home early. Then the uncle closed the stall, and not only that, because it was raining, his son came to pick him up.
I still drive a BMW.
That day, she stood in the rain carrying vegetables and an umbrella, feeling mixed.
I heard there is.
Zhou Jinrou's eyes lit up.
"Really, that's great."
"Sister, I want to rent a smaller suite, just big enough for the three of us, mother and son. The house is almost okay, the rent can be cheaper."
She is really very poor now and has no choice.
"Oh, I got it."
That is, I want to find a house with a relatively cheap rent.
Looking at her expression, Zhao's mother could tell that the other person's family situation might be the same as hers, poor and without money, so they couldn't afford to rent a good house.
Oh, I almost forgot, she seems to have some savings now.
"Yes, but I don't know if it has been rented out."
"The tenant of Aunt Liu's house next door to me checked out last week. On the third floor, there is one bedroom, one living room, and a large balcony where you can dry clothes. The rent is cheap, RMB 333 a month, starting from three months.
”
That is indeed cheap.
The rent is very reasonable.
It's just that there is only one room in a room and a living room.
"Is there only one room?"
"If so, and the father of the child is included, it is indeed a bit small."
"No, my husband has passed away, so we, mother and son, live together."
"Ah, this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
What she said was talking about someone's sadness.
"It's okay, sister."
"If it were just you, mother and son, it would be enough. Although it is a one-bedroom apartment, the living room is relatively spacious and can accommodate a bed."
