Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

"...It's me! Someone has looked at your house, yes, come here quickly! It's the same for you when your parents go on a trip! Hurry up!"

After hanging up the phone, I started calling the next landlord. I pressed twice and then stopped. I guess I forgot the number.

Sure enough, the uncle stood up, walked around the counter, opened the drawer and took out a small notebook, opened a few pages, found the number he was looking for and pressed the keys again.

"Someone came to see the house, right... you didn't give me the key, how can I take it to see it? Hurry up, we're waiting!"

Shen Xiaojun waited for almost 10 minutes before he saw two people on bicycles rushing over one after another. The two arrived less than 2 minutes apart.

There is a man and a woman. The woman is old and should be retiring soon. The man is still young, about 30 years old.

The two of them greeted each other first, and the man called the woman's aunt. Listening to their conversation, it seemed that the man's parents were colleagues in the woman's generation.

Without further ado, the two led Shen Xiaojun and the others towards the back.

After walking for more than a minute, I entered a community. There was a large iron gate at the entrance of the community. There were a few chatting old men sitting at the door. The two of them greeted them as they passed by.

Someone asked: "Why did you bring people here?"

The man said: "We are here to see the house. Our house is for rent."

The few people looked at Shen Xiaojun and Zhao Ya and saw that they were two young lesbians, well-dressed and not like those who didn't work well, so they didn't ask any more questions.

There are two apartments, one on the second floor and one on the third floor. We looked at them in order, first looking at the landlady’s house.

The two-bedroom house has a kitchen, a toilet, and a small balcony, which is convenient for drying and other things.

When they were observing the house, the landlady asked: "Are you renting it for yourself? Just you two?"

"It's for employees. We opened a clothing store on a nearby commercial street. This is rented as an employee dormitory."

Shen Xiaojun patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder, "This is the manager of our store, she also lives here."

The landlady nodded. If she could afford to open a store in a commercial street and have a store manager, she would definitely be able to pay the rent.

He asked with some worry: "Will there be a lot of people living there? We are an old community here, and there are more elderly people than young people. If too many people live there and make it too noisy, it will be difficult to explain to the neighbors." .”

The young male landlord didn't think of this at first, but after hearing her reminder, he nodded quickly, "Yes, it must not be too noisy."

Shen Xiaojun smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be many people living there, no more than six people. Our working hours are normal, not very early or particularly late. It will be quiet around ten o'clock. I Employees will also be asked to try to be as quiet as possible after ten o'clock."

"That's good."

After reading it, I went upstairs to see another one. The layout of the two houses was similar. They were neatly tidied up and had a small amount of furniture and furnishings. They were very old.

The walls are also old, and the wall coverings are peeling off in many places. Shen Xiaojun plans to paint them white before moving in, so that the employees will feel comfortable looking at them.

"Do you want to move this furniture?" Shen Xiaojun asked.

"If you don't move, I will throw it away if you don't need it. It's old furniture from many years ago, and no one wants it when selling it second-hand." The ones that can be used were moved to the new house as early as the move.

Shen Xiaojun said: "I can keep the one in the living room, but I don't need the bed in the room. It takes up too much space."

There are two rooms for six people. Xiaoya is the store manager, so each person has to live in one room. The other five live in a large room with bunk beds. There is enough space. There is also a wardrobe in the room so that they can have space to put their things.

The arrangements in the boys' dormitory are similar to those here.

After looking at the house, we started negotiating the rent. The prices offered by both houses were the same, one hundred and eighty-one months, with one deposit and three payments. The price was very reasonable. Shen Xiaojun did not lower the price anymore, signed the contract and took the keys.

When I went to pay the agency fee to the uncle, I asked him if he knew the painter.

"You want to paint the wall?"

"Yes, whitewash the walls."

"I know all the workers. Let alone painting the walls, you can do the knocking and redecoration. How about this? I'll give you a phone number and you can contact them yourself. No agency fee is required."

Shen Xiaojun smiled: "Thank you, uncle."

The uncle waved his hand, feeling that this man was so rich that he was in a panic. It was not his own house, so why should he paint the walls?

To paint two houses, materials and labor should not cost more than five or six hundred!

Shen Xiaojun didn't know that the uncle was complaining about her, so she took the phone number and dialed it, and contacted the person. They would come over tomorrow, and she didn't need to buy the materials. They would do the work and materials.

The price of subcontracting work and materials must be a little more expensive. Shen Xiaojun doesn't care about the money. She is happy and relaxed if she can have less things to do.

"Let's go, let's buy a bed first, and then we'll have it delivered after the walls are painted and dried."

Zhao Ya nodded and followed her closely.

After running with her aunt, she felt that she had learned a lot.

If she were to come by herself, she wouldn't know who to look for to rent a house. This small shop didn't advertise any houses for rent, so it would be time-consuming and laborious to ask them one by one.
