Chapter 317 317. Renting a House in the County
Yue Wenxuan patiently explained: "Catching fish these days has sold a lot of money, which is enough for our family to live in the county for a few months.

I plan to move to the county seat, one is for the sake of the health of you and your two children, and the other is to consider the needs of several children to study.

It’s fine if I don’t have any money in my hand. Now that I have a surplus, I have to let Jiamin and Jiaying pick up their studies again, and they can’t always be idle all day long. "

If it is for the convenience of children to study, the old lady will not object.

Although these generations of the Yue family have become more and more dilapidated, they are also heirs of poetry and books, and they have always attached great importance to children's reading.

As Yue Wenxuan said, if the family has no money, it will be very difficult to survive, and of course it will not be possible to take care of the children's education.

But now that we have this condition, we must quickly grasp the issue of children's education without delay.

"Fourth uncle, will we live in the county for a long time?" Yue Jiamin asked.

"No, not until next autumn at the most.

Our ultimate goal is to go to Chang'an, or the county below Chang'an. "

"Why do we have to go to Chang'an? We don't lack food now, and we have some savings. Can't we just stay here forever?" Yue Jiamin didn't quite understand.

"Of course not. Luoyang City is a strategically important place. Although it has not fallen now, there is no guarantee that it will not fall next year.

And Chang'an is the rear area, and it may not necessarily fall. If we feel that Chang'an is not safe, we can also consider going to Shuangqing. "

Yue Wenxuan just explained briefly, without saying too much.

Compared with Luoyang, Chang'an is indeed more suitable for a family to live in.

In the year after next, Luoyang City will fall, and this side will be in the flames of war.

And Chang'an has never been occupied. If you choose to live in Chang'an, in addition to guarding against air raids from time to time, it can be regarded as a rare and stable place, which is much better than going to Shuangqing.

When next autumn, when the disaster in Yu Province is over, the train from Luoyang to Chang'an will be smooth. At that time, it will only take [-] hours by train, and the journey will be safer.

Yue Fangqing asked worriedly: "It's so far from Luoyang to Chang'an, do we still have to go all the way?"

"Now that we have money, of course we don't have to walk all the way. We can take the train and get there in fourteen hours."

"That's good! After walking for several months, I'm afraid of leaving." Yue Fangqing was very happy when he heard that.

The next morning, just after dawn, Yue Wenxuan came to Uncle Wang's house in Tianshui Village.

Uncle Wang was already ready to set off, and the two of them rushed to the county without delay.

After walking for more than 20 miles, the two arrived outside the city gate at about nine o'clock.

There are two long teams lined up outside the city gate, looking from a distance, they look like two long dragons.

Yue Wenxuan looked at Uncle Wang, "How much does it cost to enter the city with a few things like us?"

"It seems that I heard that the price has increased again some time ago. If you go to the city empty-handed, you will have to pay [-] cents to enter the city. If you bring a small amount of items, you will have to pay [-] cents per person."

"It's really black-hearted to have to pay so much!"

Uncle Wang sighed and said: "In this world, the officials above are trying their best to extract more from us ordinary people, wishing to suck the blood and extract the marrow.

I went to the city once at the beginning of the year. At that time, I only charged [-] cents, but now it has grown to [-] cents.

If this is nothing important, we ordinary people really dare not enter the city. "

The two waited in line for about half an hour. Yue Wenxuan paid one yuan in French currency, but he didn't feel any trouble. He simply looked through it and let the two of them in.

After entering the city, Uncle Wang walked with Yue Wenxuan for about ten minutes and arrived at Qingniu Lane in the west of the city.

In this alley, there are ordinary one-story houses on both sides, and they don't seem to be large in size.

After walking into the alley, Uncle Wang began to introduce the situation of his cousin's house to Yue Wenxuan.

Uncle Wang's cousin is named Luo Kaiyin. He is in his 40s this year. He has three sons and two girls who are married. Like him, his son is a carpenter.

He is a family handed down craft, well-known in the local area, and his life has always been good.

The door of Luo Kaiyin's house was open. After entering, Uncle Wang shouted loudly, "Cousin, is cousin at home?"

After a while, Luo Kaiyin and his three sons came out to welcome him.

"Cousin, why are you here so early? Are you okay at home?"

Luo Kaiyin was inevitably worried when his cousin came to the door suddenly.

"It's all right at home. I'm here to introduce a friend to you."

Uncle Wang pointed to Yue Wenxuan and said: "My nephew is called Yue Wenxuan. He has settled down in Sanjia Village in our town during this period. The relationship between our two families is very good, but the village is too deserted. He is going to move to the city. Come and settle here.

I'm worried that he came to rent a house by himself, doesn't know anything about the situation, and is bullied, so he came here to find you. "

After listening to his cousin's introduction, Luo Kaiyin said enthusiastically:

"Just look for me, Wenxuan, right? You are my cousin's nephew, if you don't mind, just call me uncle.

Just leave the matter of renting a house to me, and I promise to handle it properly for you. "

"Uncle Luo, I have caused you trouble. I came here in a hurry, and I didn't have any preparations. Be careful, don't dislike me."

Yue Wenxuan handed the door-to-door gift to Luo Kaiyin.

"Just come to the door, why do you still bring something, don't be so polite in the future."

The two gave way for a while, before Luo Kaiyin handed over the basket to the elder son.

A group of people entered the house, Luo Kaiyin made the eldest son make a pot of tea, and began to ask Yue Wenxuan about his housing requirements.

Yue Wenxuan said: "There are eight people in our family. We don't need a big house. Three or four rooms in the main house are enough. A little bigger is fine. It's better to have a single-door courtyard, so it's quieter.

Of course, the current world is so chaotic, it's better to choose a place with better law and order, and the neighbors around are better to be responsible, so that there will be less disputes and troubles.

If I have such a request, if I want to rent a house in our county, I don't know if it is easy to find it? "

Yue Wenxuan has a system mall, so if he wants to inquire about rental information, he doesn't need to ask someone.

But the current world is too chaotic, and his family is old and young, so not all kinds of houses can be rented.

How about the law and order around the house, whether the surrounding neighbors are doing their duty or not, are also factors that must be considered.

He could only ask the locals about these factors, and the information in the system mall did not include these contents.

Yue Wenxuan stated his request for renting a house, but before Luo Kaiyin could speak, his eldest son was winking at him.

Luo Kaiyin glared at the eldest son, and said, "A year ago, if you want to rent the whole yard, you really have to bother to inquire about it.

At that time, landlords who rented a whole house were really rare.

Since the drought this year, the war in our province has become more and more serious. Some well-connected families have moved to safer big cities.

As a result, more and more large houses are vacated, and the rent is getting lower and lower.

Your requirements are not too many. In our county, there are many choices.

Not to mention, in the alley where I live, there are three houses for rent.

There are also many vacant houses for rent in the nearby alleys. "

"Then I don't know how the public security is around here?" Yue Wenxuan asked quickly.

"These few alleys nearby are basically houses like my house, and those who can afford such a big yard, in our county, the conditions are not bad, they can be considered a well-off home.

As far as security is concerned, although it is not the best area, it is still considered stable. "

"What about the rental price?" Yue Wenxuan asked further.

"For a yard as big as ours, starting from this month, the rent is generally around [-] to [-].

Because the current legal currency is getting worse and worse, the rent also rises every month, which is different every month. "

The rent is not low, but the main reason is that the yard is large and there are many houses, which Yue Wenxuan can fully afford.

In the courtyard of Luo Kaiyin's house, there are five main rooms and three west wing rooms for sundries. It is quite a large courtyard.

The houses near Luo's house basically met Yue Wenxuan's requirements, so he simply said:
"Since there are houses for rent nearby, Uncle Luo and I will be neighbors, and then refer to the situation of the neighbors on the left and right. Why don't you recommend one to me."

Luo Kaiyin was silent for a moment, and finally said: "What do you think of our yard?"

"The courtyard of Uncle Luo's house is spacious and grand, so it's naturally the best."

"Nephew Wenxuan, I won't hide it from you, my yard is also going to be rented out, which is the one adjacent to the east.

The two courtyards in my house have the same size and layout.There are five main rooms and three west wing rooms for storing sundries. There is a well in the yard, so it is convenient to drink water.

In addition, my two sons originally lived in the east yard, and none of the daily furniture has been moved, and you can use them all.

The rent of other people's houses is more than two hundred yuan per month. Because of my cousin's relationship, I definitely can't charge you more money, just two hundred yuan per month. "

Renting the courtyard of Luo Kaiyin's house is of course also possible, but Yue Wenxuan didn't immediately agree, but asked:

"Since it was originally the two Luo brothers who lived here, why did they make room?"

Luo Kaiyin sighed, "It's not all because of lack of money.

Now that there is war and drought, it is really difficult to find a livelihood.

Our whole family is carpenters, and now it is good to find work one day out of three.

If you don’t work, you can’t earn money. Now that the prices are so high, it’s hard for us as a family to have enough food, so we can only find ways in many ways.

So the east yard was vacated, and the whole family lived here. After the east yard was rented out, it could more or less supplement the household income. "

Uncle Wang has always felt that his cousin's family is doing well. This is the first time he heard his cousin complaining about his grievances. He couldn't help asking:
"Why did it come to this point? Didn't I go on a bustling trip last time?"

Luo Kaiyin smiled wryly: "Cousin, the last time you came, was it a few months ago?

The current world is changing every day, and in a few months, maybe our family will also go out to escape, which is also uncertain. "

"If you really can't live in the city, then go to the countryside. Although life in our village is hard, we still have something to eat.

After the beginning of spring, dig some wild vegetables, plant some melons and fruits, and continue to boil. "

Regarding his cousin's suggestion, Luo Kaiyin was noncommittal, "It's just a day, it's hard to go anywhere in the current world."

Now that Luo Kaiyin had reached this point, Yue Wenxuan said cheerfully:
"I have to give money to anyone who rents a house. If I rent Uncle Luo's house, I can have a photo, and I have the relationship with Uncle Wang, so I will rent Uncle Luo's house.

Now go to the east courtyard to take a look, Uncle Luo, is it convenient for you to take a look? "

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient, I'll lead you there now."

Luo Kaiyin was very happy to get Yue Wenxuan's affirmative answer.

The rent he wants is indeed not high, or even low, but now it is getting harder and harder to rent houses, and more and more vacant houses are available.He is already very satisfied to be able to rent out at this price.

Several people came to the courtyard next door, and Yue Wenxuan looked inside and out, and was quite satisfied.

The five main rooms were all cleaned up, and all the furniture inside was there. After the family moved here, there were very few things to buy, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Uncle Luo, I'm quite satisfied with the yard to the east, but I don't know what's going on with the neighbor next door?" Yue Wenxuan asked.

"The family in the east is also an old resident, and their family runs a tailor shop, and they can get by.

The family further to the east, for so many years, the whole family has been working as servants for wealthy families. In our alley, life is considered to be good.

Residents further to the east opened a grocery store on the street, and their lives were okay. "

Luo Kaiyin did not hide anything, and gave a brief introduction to the situation of several neighbors.

Yue Wenxuan didn't have high demands on his neighbors, as long as he wasn't a member of a gang, a local bully, or someone with dirty hands and feet, then that would be fine.

"I'm quite satisfied with your East Courtyard. Why don't we sign the contract now so that I can take over my family as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Of course Luo Kaiyin was happy, and said repeatedly: "The contract has been prepared a long time ago, and it is in a common format. I will let someone get it now."

The boss of the Luo family brought over the rental contract, and Yue Wenxuan reviewed it. There was no problem, and both parties signed and stamped their fingerprints.

The rent is not fixed at [-] yuan per month, the price has to be renegotiated every month according to market conditions.

The main reason is that the depreciation of legal currency is too fast, and no one knows what the price will be like next month, so we can only make constant adjustments according to the actual situation.

After signing the contract, Yue Wenxuan was eager to take over his family, and politely declined Luo Kaiyin's invitation to stay for dinner.

It was almost noon, and he must finish his lunch before rushing on his way. Yue Wenxuan found a small restaurant, ordered braised pork and sweet and sour fish, and treated Uncle Wang to a big meal.

On the way back, Yue Wenxuan went to Chenji Town first, and he still found the handlebar style last time. He told him that he would come to Sanjia Village first tomorrow morning, and left after paying the deposit.
