Rebirth: I Have a Spiritual Spring

Chapter 32 Rent issue, a bunch of trivial matters

Zhang Wanwan and Zhang's mother stayed at home to rest. Too many things happened today. Once they relaxed, they realized that they were exhausted both physically and mentally.

The mother and daughter were sitting next to each other on chairs with blank eyes. Mother Zhang suddenly asked, "What do you think of the house we went to see this afternoon?"

"It's okay." Zhang Wanwan said a little feebly. To be honest, that house is really nice compared to their home. Moreover, it is in the city center, so there is no need to worry about public security. People are coming and going, as long as they don't come out late at night. What danger could there be?

Mother Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then we've decided on that place. It's 1,200 yuan a month, which is more than 14,000 yuan a year. To be honest, I really couldn't bear the money before, but now if I don't move for your sake, I will Not at ease either!”

Zhang Wanwan's heart changed, and she stood up and looked at Zhang's mother, "Mom, I think 1,200 yuan a month is a bit expensive. I went to the agency today and saw the price list hanging on the wall. The large apartments in the relocation house only cost one month. One thousand, when the agent calls, tell him that my dad thinks one thousand two a month is too expensive and ask him if he can negotiate with the landlord to make it cheaper. If so, we can rent it for one year and pay it in one go. "

"Is this good?"

"What's wrong? We didn't settle on 1,200 a month with the intermediary. We just asked him to contact the landlord to discuss it. I thought about it. Obviously that building is similar to Wanjia Xinyuan. The conditions are the same but the price is worse. So many, do you know why?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked knowingly.

Mother Zhang really didn’t think about it, “What should I say?”

Zhang Wanwan took a piece of paper and drew a picture to show to her mother, "This is Century Plaza, the city center. A little further away is Wanjia Xinyuan. A street across is the Honor Community. The closest relocation house to Wanjia Xinyuan is just past it. Among the four high-rise buildings, Wanjia Xinyuan is expensive because it originally specializes in mid-to-high-end suites. The community is equipped with the best facilities and security, and the rent is naturally not cheap.

Honor Community is different. When everyone hears about Honor Community, the first thing that comes to mind is that it is a resettlement housing community. We only found out about these four high-rise buildings when we went to transfer. You have also seen the rental prices in the resettlement housing. Then It is impossible to rent out the four buildings at a high price, otherwise there wouldn't be so many houses for rent. Just bargain with the agent and see if one thousand a month is okay. If not, it can't be more than one month. 1100 yuan. "

Zhang's mother was still confused at first, but she felt that she was being valued by Zhang Wanwan, so she secretly decided to bargain with the agency.

After the two agreed, Zhang Wanwan went to take a shower. Zhang Boyan went out early to deliver food, but did not come back with Zhang's father until almost ten o'clock.

When Zhang's mother saw the sweating father and son, she quickly went up to help and urged Zhang Baiyan to take a bath. After Zhang's father sat down and drank the cold water, Zhang's mother told Zhang's father about the house viewing, "All three of us have seen it." Yes, that community is pretty good. It mainly has elevator rooms. Every household can live peacefully behind closed doors. It’s a new community. The sound quality is much better than here. In addition, the high-rise building has strong wind, good lighting, and quietness. I am very satisfied with it. Moreover, the furniture and other items are all ready. You can move in with just a bag, which is 1,200 yuan a month. Your girl said it’s too expensive and asked me to haggle over the price and sign a contract if possible. What do you think?”

Father Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "As long as you all think it's okay, what do I have to say? You see, I'm almost never at home setting up a stall now, and I can't help in time if anything happens. If you think it's good to move, we'll move it." ! By the way, did you say how much you have to pay?”

Zhang's mother shook her head, "We haven't talked to the other party yet. We'll wait until the agent makes an appointment with the landlord. What Wanwan means is that if possible, we can rent it for one year and then lower the price. We also need to sign the contract carefully so that we don't have to pay for it again soon after we move in." Move." Father Zhang didn't have any objection to this, so he took out the pile of change he earned today and forgot about it. After a while, he said, "There are more than three thousand here. I spent three thousand on renting a warehouse out of the five thousand I left at home. The rest needs to be bought for fried chicken ingredients. I can't move it. I will go to the bank to withdraw some money tomorrow. If I really want to move, I still need to buy some things, including a freezer, and there are a lot of things.”

Zhang's mother thought about the situation at the warehouse and reminded: "The warehouse needs to be installed with water and electricity, and you need to come with the pipes and so on. You can see if you want Wanwan to set up a stall tomorrow. You can go to the bank to withdraw money, and by the way, you can install the water and electricity in the warehouse." The water and electricity over there are ready, and if we have time, we will also buy a freezer. There is no rush to rent a house, we can make an appointment the day after tomorrow. "

Father Zhang nodded, "This is the only thing we can do. If we finish the warehouse earlier, we can also put up the fried chicken stall earlier. Have you told me about your resignation?"

"Tell me tomorrow!" Mother Zhang lowered her eyes and the scars on her face looked a bit shocking under the light.

Father Zhang frowned and sighed, but didn't say anything else.

The next morning, Zhang Wanwan got up and prepared the items for the stall. Seeing that she still had time, she fried the marinated chicken wings and legs last night.

Early in the morning, the aroma wafting from the Zhang family's kitchen spread throughout the community. People passing by downstairs couldn't help but look up to see which family was so unkind as to "put poison".

Zhang Baiyan tasted a piece of chicken wings each, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his thumbs up and boasted: "It's so delicious! This is definitely easy to sell! It's suitable for carnivores like me!"

As Zhang Baiyan gnawed on another chicken leg, Zhang Wanwan marinated four chicken legs and four chicken wings in total. Zhang Baiyan ate most of them directly, but she was extremely happy. The recognition from Zhang Baiyan made her more confident. Thinking that Zhang Baiyan had nothing to do today, he said: "Brother, I will write you a spice list. If you have nothing to do today, just go Purchase a batch from the wholesale market and bring it to the warehouse. Dad is going to get water and electricity there today. You go there and he happens to be there. By the way, you can go to the freezer with Dad. With the freezer, you can go directly to the farmer's market to wholesale some slaughtered and processed chickens. Chicken wings and drumsticks are the ones I bought yesterday. There are large stores that specialize in wholesale. You can shop around before deciding."

Zhang Baiyan was not stupid, and he knew what to do after Zhang Wanwan gave him some advice.

The brother and sister went their separate ways after leaving the house.

Zhang Boyan first went to the wholesale market and bought a lot of seasonings according to Zhang Wanwan's request. There were so many things that he couldn't fit on his bicycle. When the store owner saw that he bought so much, he readily offered to deliver the goods for him. Zhang Boyan was relieved and felt helpless. He scrupulously bought all the remaining items, paid, left an address for the store owner, called Zhang's father, and ran away on his bicycle.

Because things went more smoothly than expected, Zhang Boyan simply went to the home appliance market to look at freezers. The price difference between different brands of home appliances was not small. There were also second-hand resale shops here. Zhang Boyan walked around and found that there were five brand-new ones with high prices. The ones that cost more than a thousand, the ordinary ones cost more than two thousand, and the cheaper ones are less than two thousand. The second-hand ones are relatively much cheaper. Some brand ones that are 80% new only cost more than one thousand, and the ordinary second-hand ones only cost eight or nine hundred.
