Daily life of world cleaners [Comprehensive]

The price of the small courtyard at the entrance of the Hutong is much higher than expected.But you get what you pay for, and the area of ​​the small courtyard is larger than what Ji Yue and the others rented. There are three main rooms, two side rooms, two east and west wing rooms, and three inverted seats.

There are two more east wing rooms than the small courtyard they rented, and the courtyard is larger than the small courtyard they rented.However, the house price is not expensive because of the house, but because there is a well in the yard. Although it is not a good-quality sweet water well, it is not a bitter water well either. With this well, there is no need to buy water at all in the future.

There are many bitter water wells in Beijing, but sweet water wells are rare.The water in the Kushui well can only be used as domestic water for drinking, not for cooking.In the small rented courtyard, there are two large water tanks, one for the bitter well water for washing and the other for cooking water (those who have money can use the water from the sweet water well, and those who have no money can not use it. Bitter and not sweet bisexual water).The Guarjia family will also buy a piece of sweet well water to make tea.

There is a well at home, which is very convenient in life.For this well, the Guarjia family bought the small courtyard for 500 taels without much bargaining.Very quickly, I went to the Yamen to complete the deed on the same day.

Although I have my own small courtyard, the newly purchased small courtyard is empty, not to mention the furniture, even the sweeping is not left.Ji Yue also admired the level of relocation of the previous residents of this small courtyard.

It is also beneficial to move cleanly, at least it is really convenient for Ji Yue and her grandparents to clean up.It only took half a day to clean the inside and outside of the small courtyard, and all the corners and corners were cleaned.

After the grandparents and grandchildren finished cleaning the small courtyard, they walked to the entrance of the small courtyard they rented, and saw that the landlord was already waiting for them at the entrance of the small courtyard.

The landlord's family also lives in this alley, and the old lady of the landlord's family is always inquiring.What happened in the alley, no old lady of the landlord's family didn't know.The Guarjia family bought the house and went to the government office to apply for the lease, and then the landlord got the news.

It was also a coincidence that I found out that the Guarjia family bought a small courtyard, and there were people from the landlord who wanted to rent a house, and they were still willing to pay a high price - five taels of silver a month, the kind of long-term lease for two years (the one rented by Ji Yue's family) It's two months and seven taels), but there is a condition that you can move in at the latest tomorrow morning.Of course, the landlord and his family are happy with one tael and a half more silver a month.Not to mention that the Guarja family has already bought a house, even if they haven't bought a house, the landlord's family plans to let the Guarja family vacate the house today.

Let’s talk about the house that the Guerjia family bought. Bao asked the old lady very clearly. Although there is no furniture, it was built on a kang, and the people in front of it moved away for a few days. living.In this way, the landlord's family didn't feel guilty at all about evicting the tenant.

The landlord's family discussed it, as long as Ji Yue's grandfather and grandson can move out today, it's okay to not charge the rent for these few days.Of course, if you can charge more, that would be the best.

The old lady of the landlord's family asked her son and daughter-in-law to keep the guests who rented the house to entertain, and went out to find Guarjia by herself.After waiting at the gate of the small courtyard for less than a quarter of an hour, they saw the two grandchildren of the Guerjia family who came back from the Yamen after completing the house deed.

"Old sister, you have a really good vision. That yard is one of the best in our alley. Not to mention anything else, just the well in the yard is very convenient." The old lady of the landlady saw Gua Erica said with a smile.

"I was thinking of going to your house to discuss it! I didn't expect you to come here first." Guarjia said with a smile while taking out the key to unlock.After buying the house, although there is no furniture, it is still possible to make ends meet by buying some ready-made ones on the street.If we discuss checking out now, I don't know if it will be possible to pay one and a half months' rent.

The old lady of the landlady's house was also very agile. After entering the yard, she directly explained her intention of coming without any further wording with the Guarjia family.Although I feel a little distressed about the rent that I gave up, compared with that five taels a month, the rent for these five days is nothing.

After hearing this, Mrs. Guarjia really felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to move at first, but even if she moved, she had to wait for the place to be tidied up before moving!But the landlady said that as long as she moved today, the rent would be forfeited.The Guarja family was a little embarrassed.

"Moving also depends on the day, especially when you move into a new house. You have to choose a good day, right?" Living in your own house is not renting a house. This is a new house, so you have to choose a good day .

"Old sister, it's also a coincidence, today is an auspicious day, everything will be fine!" the landlady said again.

Everyone has said that, what else can the Guerjia family say?It's obvious that even if the rent is not collected, the grandparents and grandchildren will have to move today!

never mind!Guarjia didn't bother to argue with the landlady, so he took 12 taels of silver (two months' rent plus five taels of deposit), and said to the landlady: "Please, old lady, call me a car, we will move right away."

"Okay! I'll call a car for you right away." The landlady walked out quickly.

Ji Yue also stayed in the Qing Dynasty, so she knows the rules of moving house very well.It is always time to move house sooner rather than later, the sun is almost setting, so why move!

Ji Yue knows the truth of this, but the original owner who is only 12 years old has never encountered such a thing as moving. The original owner does not know all the details.When the landlady left, Ji Yue asked, "Ma'am, shall we move to our own yard?"

"Stupid boy, we don't charge rent anymore. We have to move if we don't want to. My wife didn't say that I want to move to my own yard! You have to choose a date for moving, and you have to come sooner or later. The rent is saved. Enough for us grandparents and grandchildren to live in a hotel before we move. There is a wife! Don’t worry about this for children, go and put the things in the kitchen into the food box." Guarjia directed Ji Yue to the kitchen Clean up, go to the house where you live to clean up.

Fortunately, the two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, have only lived in this small courtyard for five days, and many things are still in the boxes, so it is convenient to pack them up.Although I have added some things these days, they are all small items for the kitchen.

In the next few days at the inn, most of the things will not be needed, but you can put these unused things in your own courtyard first.

When the landlady called the car, Guarjia and Ji Yue had packed up.Two people, one with a small carry-on baggage.The other salutes are all packed in the box, which is convenient to carry.

From carrying the salute to the car, to putting the salute in the small courtyard and locking the door, the courtyard door, and getting on the car to the inn, it took less than an hour in total.

This time, the inn Ji Yue and the others stayed in was still the one they used to stay in.

"Auntie, didn't you just rent the small courtyard a few days ago! Why is it not good to live in the small courtyard?" The shopkeeper of the inn asked curiously when he saw the Guerjia family.The shopkeeper had already thought of countless reasons for Guarjia's withdrawal of the lease, and even wondered if there was something wrong with the house.There have never been many legends about haunted houses in this capital city!Could it be that my aunt met this kind of house this time?

"It just so happened that there was a house for sale in the alley where I was renting. The size and price were suitable, so I bought it. I wanted to wait a few days and choose an auspicious day to move in. It happened that the landlord had a new tenant who was eager to move in. I have been exempted from the rent for the past few days. Thinking that the days that are suitable for moving into the house are only a few days, I will come and live in the newly bought courtyard on an auspicious day. This is also convenient, isn’t it?” I bought the yard by myself There is nothing to hide, Guarja said it straight.

"Congratulations on getting a yard you like. If you need any help, just ask."

"Thank you very much. I am looking for a carpenter with good craftsmanship to make some furniture! Do you have a good introduction?" After all, the Guerjia family has been away from Beijing for a long time, and she is still familiar with the geographical environment of the capital. Carpenters who make furniture, etc., really have to rely on the shopkeeper to guide them.

"The furniture that is commonly used in this house, the craftsmanship of the old Zhangtou in the back alley is pretty good. He also has some ready-made furniture over there. If you are not in a hurry, you can buy it now. I will let the six sons lead you to have a look later. "The shopkeeper thought that there were many old furniture from rich families over there. "He still has some refurbished old furniture from rich families. Although the style is a bit old, the materials of these furniture It’s really good. Two days ago, I just heard that he has received a batch of furniture with good materials, but the style is a bit simpler, which is not what everyone likes now. You can go and have a look.”

Now the furniture is getting more and more complicated, more and more rich and luxurious. Compared with the carved patterns and jade inlaid, the original old furniture is like the difference between a farmer's wife and an official's wife.Except for those old furniture made of red sandalwood, golden nanmu, huanghuali, and other woods, those big families have all emptied out and replaced them with the latest styles.These old furniture are out of fashion for rich families, but for ordinary people, there is no difference.As long as the material is good, it is also good for home use.

What the shopkeeper thought in his heart, the Guerjia family also thought the same way.Except for dowry, if it is for home use, as long as the material is good and the price is right, the Guarjia family really doesn't care if it is old furniture or something.The tables and chairs for eating in this house are second-hand, so it doesn’t matter.What their house lacks now are these tables, chairs and so on.

"Success. Then let's go to the house to tidy up first, and call me at our house when Liu Zi is free." Guarjia saw that there were guests wanting to stay in the shop, so he hurriedly took Ji Yue out of the house.I've been busy for a long time, and I'm tired enough.
