Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 488
At the same time, Yan Bugui and the second aunt were also looking around in the yard, with an inexplicable reminiscence on their faces, as if returning to their old place.

When Director Wang and Lin Tieniu came out of the room, they immediately couldn't help showing a hint of jealousy.

snort!
A brat who just popped out of nowhere, what qualifications does he have to live in such a nice house?

If it weren't for the fact that Director Wang was still present, I'm afraid they would all want to speak directly and force Lin Tieniu to give up the house.

Director Wang stood at the door of the house, glanced at Yan Bugui and the second aunt intentionally or unintentionally, and then said loudly: "Little Comrade Tieniu, since you are willing to accept this house, there are some things I have to explain to you first. gone."

"First of all, this house is not for you to live in for free. From now on, you will have to pay 10 yuan in rent every month, and you will have to pay for water and electricity by yourself."

"In addition, if the ZF needs to take the house back in the future, then you have to move out unconditionally, but don't worry, if your work unit has not allocated a house for you by then, the ZF will arrange another house for you to live in of."

"The situation is probably like this. If you think there is no problem, then I will go through the procedures for this house for you when I go back."

"No problem, Director Wang, I will pay the rent on time in the future."

Lin Tieniu was not surprised after hearing this, and immediately agreed.

After all, there is no reason for the country to give houses to individuals for free. If everyone did this, wouldn't it be a mess.

Just like the side room of more than ten square meters that he was allocated last time, he also had to pay the rent, but the monthly rent was only more than three yuan, which was much cheaper than this house.

At this time, Yan Bugui and the second aunt also heard Director Wang's words, and their dizzy minds were instantly cleared.

Yup!

This house has to pay rent!
10 yuan a month, almost catching up with half a month's wages of ordinary workers.

After paying the rent, how can we live?
Conversely, although the houses in their respective families are not enough to live in, at least they don't have to pay rent every month!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and even a little gloating, thinking that Lin Tieniu, a silly boy, must have been tricked by Director Wang.

Is it necessary for a loner to live in such a nice house?
If you have that money to pay the rent, why not save more money to marry yourself a daughter-in-law!

Even if you don't marry a wife, wouldn't it be nice to use this money to buy a few more catties of meat on the black market?

You know, once the rent is paid, it is paid, and it is impossible to get it back in the future, and the house is not your own in the end. Isn't this a waste of money?

Ugh!
After all, this Lin Tieniu is still young and inexperienced!

Just when Yan Bugui and the second aunt were looking for a sense of superiority in their hearts, Director Wang saw Lin Tieniu agreeing so readily, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Although the rent is a bit expensive, it also depends on who it is for. I don’t know how many people want such a house but can’t afford it.

If it wasn't because she was more optimistic about Lin Tieniu, she would not have allocated this house to Lin Tieniu.

Not to mention, behind Lin Tieniu, there is such an old chief.

Give me a favor now, maybe I can borrow some light in the future.

So, there is no love for no reason in this world.

Lin Tieniu knew this well, otherwise, he wouldn't have to tell the old chief about taking care of him and arranging work for him.

Not long after, Director Wang gave a few more instructions to ask Lin Tieniu to go to her again if he had any problems, and then he said goodbye and left. He didn't take the initiative to take Lin Tieniu to buy furniture at the second-hand goods store like last time.

Perhaps, this is because Yan Bugui has not heard of Lin Tieniu selling his family's old bed, or because he does not want Lin Tieniu to misunderstand that she wants to take advantage of it.

In short, this is different from what happened last time.

Lin Tieniu didn't take the initiative to ask about this matter either, he sent Director Wang outside the iron gate with a grateful face, and made an appointment with Director Wang to visit him after he settled down.

Then, he turned his head, looked at Yan Bugui and the second aunt who were still in the yard, and hurriedly showed an apologetic smile, and said, "Well, third master, second aunt, you see, I have just moved here too. , there is no place to entertain you, sorry!"

"It's okay, we will all be neighbors in the future, if you need help with anything, don't be polite, just ask."

The second aunt heard the words and said with a smile on her face.

Although she didn't welcome Lin Tieniu's arrival very much, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face with your hand. Seeing Lin Tieniu's sincere attitude, she couldn't get angry, so she could only say some scene words along the way.

At the same time, Yan Bugui squinted his eyes directly, and said with a smile: "Yes! I am the third master in our courtyard, and I have the responsibility to help the residents of our courtyard solve some problems in life."

"Look, you don't even have a bed in your house now. How can you sleep this night? Otherwise, we just replaced a bed in our house not long ago. It's quite strong, and it's probably worth a dozen or so. 20 yuan."

"For the sake of our neighbors, I'm at a disadvantage. You only need to give me ten yuan, and the bed will be given to you, and you won't have to spend a lot of money to buy a new one."

"Really? That would be great, I'm worrying about it!"

Lin Tieniu was happy when he heard Yan Bugui's words, and then he pretended to be pleasantly surprised and said.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly frowned again, and said hesitantly: "However, Third Master, my room is not only missing a bed, but also missing a lot of things!"

"Why don't you just forget it! I'll go to the second-hand goods store to have a look later, maybe I can buy all the things in one go, there's no need to make you suffer!"

When Yan Bugui heard that Lin Tieniu agreed, he was really happy in his heart!
However, when he heard what Lin Tieniu said later, he was immediately stunned.

How can this cooked duck still fly?
He wanted to fight for it again, but Lin Tieniu was blocked from talking, unless he could give Lin Tieniu all the things in one go, otherwise he would not be able to speak.

After all, he can't just say that he won't lose money!
"Well, Tieniu! I still have something to do at home, so I won't bother you!"

At this time, the second aunt suddenly spoke.

After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Lin Tieniu to reply, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Because she was worried that if she stayed here again, she would not be able to help but laugh out loud.

She also didn't expect that Yan Laojia, who can usually blast a drop of oil out of a stone, would be held back by Lin Tieniu's hands, and he was the kind who had nothing to say.

Yan Bugui looked at the second aunt's shoulders that were still shaking as she walked away, and his face darkened immediately.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, how could he not understand what the second aunt was thinking.

This time, the hawk was really pecked at by the hawk, and he was ashamed.

He originally thought that Lin Tieniu would be easy to fool at such a young age, but he didn't expect that he was also a f---ing little fox.

Got it!
Anyway, the future is long, so he doesn't believe that this little fox can't be cured.

Soon, Yan Bugui showed another smile on his face, then waved his hands, and said with feinted anger: "Look at what you said, we are all neighbors in the neighborhood, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little bit!"

"However, since you want to go to the second-hand goods store, then go there quickly! It won't be dark for a while, and you won't be able to find your way back."

"By the way, do you know where the junk yard is?"

"I know, I know, I already asked Director Wang just now!"

Lin Tieniu hurriedly nodded and smiled when he heard the words, not giving Yan Pugui any chance to take advantage of it.

"Oh! That's good, that's good, then I won't keep you busy, and I'll come over tomorrow to congratulate you when you settle down."

Yan Bugui replied with some disappointment, and then left an excuse somewhat unwillingly.

"Okay, okay, when I'm settled, I'll definitely invite you over for a light meal."

Lin Tieniu frowned, then nodded in agreement with a benevolent face.

After being honed in the previous few film and television worlds, he knew that if he wanted to live a more stable life, he had to do some things on the scene well.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Living alone in this world, unless you hide in the deep mountains and old forests and live a life of indifference to the world, you will inevitably have to deal with people.

If you want to deal with people, you have to make people look good, otherwise, once you tear your face off with people, you have to always be on guard against others doing bad things to you.

In this way, if you are not exhausted, you will be bored to death.

Of course, if a person has the ability to kill all the people who make him unhappy, then he doesn't need to care about these things.

It's just that if this is the case, there will not be many people left in this world in the end.

Moreover, this is a bit too extreme, and sooner or later he will become a demon who only knows how to kill.

When Yan Bugui saw that Lin Tieniu agreed, he felt a lot better instantly, and even looked at Lin Tieniu with him.

Then, he said a few more polite words, and quickly left with his hands behind his back, staggering away.

Lin Tieniu sent Yan Bugui out politely, and then, taking advantage of no one's attention, he directly closed the big iron gate again, so as not to let people from the courtyard randomly run in.

Then, without wasting any time, he quickly walked into the house and put his luggage away.

Not long after, with his only 552 yuan in his pocket, he opened the door behind the house and walked towards the junkyard in his memory.

At this time, because it was already off-duty time, the streets were full of workers returning home from get off work.

Among them, most of the workers are on their legs, and only a small number of workers are riding bicycles, which has become the most beautiful scenery on the street.

Lin Tieniu looked at the bustling scene on the street, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid he has to spend the rest of his life here.

In other words, he can no longer regard himself as a passer-by, but must truly integrate into this world and grow old like everyone else.

Perhaps, in his lifetime, he can still see Wan Wan return, and he can also travel to space!

Thinking of this, his mood improved instantly, and he stopped worrying about this matter. Anyway, he was alive wherever he was, as long as he lived happily.

Not long after, a house with a plaque of Dongzhimen junkyard appeared not far away.

Lin Tieniu looked at the muscular, dark-skinned figure at the door of the second-hand goods store, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Afterwards, he went straight forward, laughed and shouted, "Qiangzi!"

"you are?"

Hearing the shout, Wu Yongqiang hurriedly turned his head to look at Lin Tieniu, then thought about it carefully, and found that he didn't know this person, so he immediately asked with some doubts.

"Oh! My name is Lin Tieniu. A neighbor in the neighborhood introduced me to buy furniture from you. Your name is Qiangzi, right?"

Lin Tieniu explained with a calm smile.

"That's right, I am, you want to buy furniture, right! I'll take you in and have a look!"

Wu Yongqiang nodded in amazement when he heard the words, and then took Lin Tieniu into the second-hand goods store without asking any more questions.

Because there are usually some people who listen to other people's introductions and take the initiative to come to buy things, so he doesn't think it's strange.

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu didn't say anything more, and followed Wu Yongqiang silently.

The reason why he made such an excuse was just to save trouble, and at the same time, he wanted to tease Wu Yongqiang, an "acquaintance".

Soon, with the help of Wu Yongqiang, he selected a complete set of furniture, commonly known as 36 legs, including a bed, a three-door chest, a chest of drawers, a dressing table, a sofa, and four stools.

Then, he went on to choose tableware and kitchen utensils, planning to get everything he needed.

Seeing that Lin Tieniu wanted to buy so many things, Wu Yongqiang hurried into the office to report to the station master Xu Guochang.

When Xu Guochang heard this, he immediately went out to help.

After all, thrift stores are also about efficiency. If things don't sell well, he, the station manager, doesn't have the confidence to apply for bonuses and benefits from the above.

In this way, it didn't take long for Lin Tieniu to pick out all the things to be used, and then followed Xu Guochang into the office to check out.

Although there are quite a lot of things, but because they are all second-hand goods, the price is not very expensive, and the final total price is 99 yuan.

You know, if these things are bought new, and only 36 legs are made up, it will cost nearly 200 yuan, and the quality is still average.

If it is of better quality, it can’t afford it without 300 yuan.

Just like in the 21st century, even if the industry is already very developed, if an ordinary family buys a complete set of furniture, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan, which is equivalent to half a year's salary for ordinary people.

At this time, the average monthly salary of ordinary workers is only more than 30 yuan. If you want to buy a complete set of decent furniture, you need at least half a year's salary.

Therefore, many families have a bed and a table, which have been used for more than ten or twenty years in a row. Only when they marry a new wife, they will find a way to buy new furniture.
