hope for redemption

After Jiang Xi hung up the phone, he was bored with the rim of the plastic water cup in his mouth, waiting for the old lady to come down and open the door to look at the house. For some reason, he suddenly caught a glimpse of himself in the shadow of Xiao Jiujiu, and shook his head. Gently tugging at the scalp flickering, the tension of the scalp making Jiang Xi a little excited.

Jiang Xi squatted down, the head in the shadow was magnified, and even the little Jiujiu on his head was also magnified.

Jiang Xi shook his head, and the little Jiujiu in the shadow also shook, Jiang Xi could even see the shaking of every strand of hair.

This sense of clarity made Jiang Xi a little inexplicably happy, and he swayed to the rhythm while playing the rhythm of 857.

"hehe"

Jiang Xi was taken aback by this laugh, and then another burst of embarrassment struck, mainly because of the embarrassment of being seen when he made such a silly action in retrospect.

Jiang Xi looked up to find the owner of the laughter. At some point, the iron door of the building was opened, and a boy dressed all in black casually leaned against the door with his mobile phone.

Jiang Xi somewhat admired him for wearing all black on such a hot day.

True warriors brave the scorching heat.Jiang Xi thought to himself.

Seeing Jiang Xixi coming over, the boy raised his eyebrows, stood up straight and smiled and asked, "A house looker?"

Jiang Xi immediately stood up, smiled awkwardly at him and said, "Yes."

The 'man in black' heard that he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers at Jiang Xi, "Let's go."

Jiang Xi hurriedly followed and walked into the corridor, the boy's slender and well-articulated fingers and his resolute face unconsciously appeared in front of his eyes. It has to be said that this face can be classified as "super handsome" in Jiang Xi's eyes. The facial features are clear and deep, but under a pair of sword eyebrows are a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, different from his slightly round eyes, the opponent's eyes are more deep, with a tall nose, and moderately thick lips. A half-smile look.

The opponent is taller than him, at least 185 by visual inspection.

Jiang Xi sighed in his heart, thinking that God was unfair.

"Grandma Du, that is, the landlord, probably has a big order to make and won't be free to come here. I just happen to be here, so let me show you, is it okay?"

"No problem, but can you finalize the rent?" Jiang Xi thought for a while, and felt that it was still necessary to finalize this issue before viewing the house.

Lin Wang couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard him ask such a question, thinking: This kid should be as smart as he should be.

"I can." Lin Wang led the people to the second floor: "My name is Lin Wang, what's your name?"

"Jiang Xi..." Jiang Xi followed Lin Wang and stopped. There was only one room on the second floor, and the door faced the stairs.

"Well, Jiangxi? The west side?" Lin Wang twisted his handle and pushed open the door and walked in: "This room has two bedrooms and one living room. Take a look."

"Hopeful Xi" Jiang Xi answered while looking at the room. The room was clean and tidy, without any peculiar smell, and the initial impression was very good.Jiang Xi was about to go into the room to have a look, but the door was blocked by most of Lin Wang's body, "Excuse me!"

Hearing this, Lin Wang turned his body and signaled Jiang Xi to go in.

When Jiang Xi passed by, she could smell the lavender washing powder on Lin Wang's body mixed with the scent of tobacco. nice smell.

When standing at the door, Jiang Xi had already taken a rough look at the living room. As soon as he entered the door, turn left to the toilet, and turn right to the two bedrooms.After roughly looking around, Jiang Xi felt that the overall situation was okay, but he was not particularly satisfied. The toilet was too small to fit a bathtub, and the master bedroom faced the toilet.

Since the housing prices here are within the budget, Jiang Xi wants to choose the house that best suits his wishes.

"Is there anything else?" Jiang Xi looked at Lin Wang

"Well, there is still on the third floor." Lin Wang typed a few words on the phone screen, and led Jiang Xi up to the third floor.

Jiang Xi followed Lin Wang, looked at Lin Wang carefully, and clicked his tongue. He really felt that God was unfair. It’s okay for this man to look tougher than himself, and it’s okay for him to be taller. Why is his figure better than himself? Lin Wang When walking around, you can vaguely see the muscle lines on the waist through the fabric, full and explosive.

I have practiced my abdominal muscles for half a year, but I haven't reached this state.

The design of the whole building is simple. The handrails of the corridors are dark red wood, and the material is neither visible nor touchable. The height of each staircase is just right, and the tiles with black background and white lines are paved.

Jiang Xi once saw in a family in Australia that the height of the stairs in their house was designed to be high, and it took two floors of stairs to cross one flight of stairs. This is an insult to short-legged people

There are no other imprints on the white corridor walls except for the slogans of "don't litter and keep clean".

This increased Jiang Xi's favorability for this house a lot.

When we reached the third floor, the house on the third floor was still unlocked, so we could just turn the handle to get in.

Lin Wang was still leaning against the door and playing with his mobile phone, without saying anything unnecessary.

The house on the third floor is still a two-bedroom, one-living room. You don’t need to look at this room. The toilet and the kitchen are built together. Jiang Xi hates this design the most. How can the food and toilet be in the same direction.

Jiang Xi frowned, looked at Lin Wang and asked, "Is there any more?"

Lin Wang raised his head from the phone screen and looked at Jiang Xi: "Don't like it?"

Jiang Xi smiled embarrassedly and nodded.

Lin Wang put away the phone, smiled casually, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're quite picky. How old are you? What do you do?"

Hearing Lin Wang asking Jiang Xi's smile, he immediately withdrew his smile, frowned, looked at Lin Wang with vigilant eyes, and pursed his mouth in silence.

"Don't think too much, this is a routine inquiry. If I don't ask you now, I will ask you sooner or later. My mother-in-law doesn't rent the house to dubious people." Lin Wang saw the vigilance in Jiang Xi's eyes, and thought that the child was quite cautious.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The owner had never asked this question when he was looking at the house before. Jiang Xi didn't think about it for a while, but he suddenly remembered it when Lin Wang mentioned it. He didn't want the rent to be unclean. The house, the owner certainly does not want to rent the house to unreliable people.

Jiang Xi felt that she was a little too nervous, and she was still influenced by the previous woman, and felt that anyone who asked about these things had bad intentions.

"17, I'm going to transfer to No. [-] Middle School." Jiang Xi smiled apologetically at Lin Wang, and replied softly.

"No. [-] middle school, which class is it?" Lin Wang raised his eyebrows again when he heard this, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, the result hasn't come out yet."

After Jiang Xi finished speaking, Lin Wang was silent for a while, looked at him for a while and said, "Okay, follow me, there is still a room on the fourth floor."

After speaking, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked upstairs.

As soon as you go up to the fourth floor, you can feel the difference between the fourth floor and other floors. First, there is a fingerprint lock at the entrance of the stairs on the fourth floor. Second, there is only one room on the other floors, but there is more than one room on the fourth floor.

As soon as you go up the stairs, you face one, and you can see the door of another house when you turn right on the stairs. There is also a small hall with two iron clothes racks in the middle, and a balcony connected to the outside of the hall.

Lin Wang directly turned the handle of the room directly facing the stairs. As soon as the door was opened, Jiang Xi was overwhelmed by the kitchen of this room.

The kitchen in this room is open. As soon as the door is opened, you can see the white cabinets. The cabinets are directly connected to the glass windows. Through the glass windows, you can see the large golden wheat fields behind. Rippling man-made fish ponds, and earthen farmhouses.

Facing a horizontal and straight road, both ends of the road are hidden in the woods, looking to the right is a winding upward road, leading to the end of the woods.

You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while cooking. Jiang Xi is very satisfied with such a kitchen and hall, and his wet peach eyes are full of smiles.

This room is a room type with one bedroom and one living room.

Jiang Xi walked into the master bedroom, which was very large, with two wooden double beds and a small single wardrobe.Made a whole wall of bay windows, on sunny days, sunlight can fill the whole room through the windows.

What satisfied Jiang Xi most was that there was no anti-theft net in this room. Jiang Xi hated the addition of anti-theft nets on the windows of the house, which felt like living in a prison.

Jiang Xi walked out of the master bedroom and was about to ask Lin Wang where the bathroom was, but when she raised her head she caught Lin Wang's playful eyes unexpectedly.

"Uh, I didn't see the bathroom. Where is the bathroom?" Jiang Xi looked away, blinked quickly to cover up the panic in his eyes, and licked his lips nervously.

Lin Wang leaned forward, left the wall he was leaning against, walked to the end of the wall, reached out his left hand and knocked on the door, then turned his head sideways to signal Jiang Xi to come over.

The end of this wall is probably in the center of the entire living room. When Jiang Xi first looked at the living room, he thought that this wall was used to increase the sense of space, but he did not expect that there was a bathroom inside.

Jiang Xi pushed open the door, and seeing the bathroom, the whole person was so happy that he soared. Before returning to China, Jiang Xi had already prepared for the life without a bathtub, but he didn't expect that there was a bathtub in this room!

Jiang Xi felt that this room was tailor-made for him. The kitchen, master bedroom, and bathroom were all exactly on Jiang Xi's point.Jiang Xi felt that regardless of the rent, the room had to be settled by himself.

"How much is the rent for this room?" Jiang Xi asked Lin Wang with a smile.

"Satisfied?" Seeing the smile in Jiang Xi's eyes, Lin Wang already had confidence in his heart, but his face remained calm: "1200 a month, pay three months' rent first."

"Yes." Jiang Xi nodded, 1200 is about the same as what Jiang Xi estimated in his heart, and the price is very reasonable: "WeChat or Alipay?"

Lin Wang was a little surprised by Jiang Xi's straightforwardness, thinking that this house should suit his appetite, and he is a master who is not short of money.

"It's all right, you live alone? Do your parents know?"

"One person, I know."

Lin Wang saw the flash of pain in Jiang Xi's eyes when he mentioned his parents, so he understood and stopped asking.He took out his mobile phone, opened the WeChat QR code and handed it to Jiang Xi, saying: "Add WeChat friends, you can ask me if you have any questions, I will live next door to you, pay me the rent and I will transfer it to your mother-in-law."

Jiang Xi turned on the phone, and neatly scanned the QR code to add friends.

"The dream of a girl in Lin County?" Jiang Xi looked at the friend's profile on the phone screen, and confirmed to Lin Wang with the corners of his mouth.

"Well, it's me." Lin Wang leaned against the wall again and replied lazily with a yawn.

This man has a thick skin.Jiang Xi thought to himself.Swipe your finger to send a friend request.

"Is this bunch of garbled characters you?" Lin Wang asked Jiang Xi, pointing the screen of his mobile phone in front of Jiang Xi's eyes.

Jiang Xi looked at Lin Wang calmly and nodded.

Jiang Xi's WeChat application was urgent, and he had just returned to China in the past few days and didn't have time to change his name, so he kept it in the most original state.

Lin Wang took back his phone and clicked to confirm: "Okay, three months' rent, 3600."

After transferring the account, Lin Wang confirmed the amount, and said to Jiang Xi: "Come here tomorrow with a copy of your ID card, and I'll give you the key. Before you come, send a WeChat message or call. Do not damage the walls and circuits, and the rest You can decorate as you like. Double compensation for damaged furniture.” Lin Wangshen pointed to the back and signaled Jiang Xi to turn around: “The road on the right at the back leads directly to the vocational school. It may be noisy when the vocational school leaves school at night. There are always some idiots There are racing cars and fights there, but it is estimated that when you come back from self-study next night, everyone will be gone. The road in front of you leads directly to the ecological development zone of the back mountain, but it is not developed after half of the development. There is a temple on the back mountain. If you believe in Buddhism, you can Go and say goodbye. There is a reservoir behind the road, where you can fish. The farmhouse next to you is a farm, and some weekend evenings will hold bonfire parties. If you cook, you can go there to buy seasonal vegetables. The fingerprint lock on the fourth floor I will record it for you tomorrow."

Lin Wang paused, pointed his finger at his forehead, and continued: "That's about it for the back of the house. If you have any questions, I'll talk to you later. Go out from the gate and turn right for about 300 meters. There is a street for night snacks, crayfish barbecue and so on. There are. Oh, speaking of the gate, the gate must be closed when entering and exiting, and you will be given a key for the gate lock and a room key. The mother-in-law lives on the first floor. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you don’t bring the gate key, the mother-in-law will give it to you Open the door. My mother-in-law is at the tailor shop in front of you. If you need dry cleaning, you can find her if your clothes are torn or torn. Tenants will get a [-]% discount.” Lin Wang paused again, as if he was thinking about where he left off in his last topic.

"Supper is a street." Jiang Xi reminded.

"Oh, yes" Lin Wang was reminded by Jiang Xi, as if waking up from a dream, he snapped his fingers and continued: "There is a community in front of it called Fuyuan Community, if you order takeaway, the address is best written at No. 117 after the upper level of Fuyuan Community , otherwise the takeaway may not be able to find a place. Walk straight out of the main road and there is a crossroad, where it is easy to hail a taxi. Go left to the station, and go right to the bustling area. No matter where you hail a taxi in the county, it costs 15 yuan. Except that it will rise to 5 yuan around the Spring Festival. The straight road in front of the gate goes directly to No. [-] Middle School. It takes about [-] minutes to walk. You can buy a bicycle and get there in [-] minutes. There is a place for bicycles downstairs, but they must be locked. It's our responsibility. Well... that's about it."

Jiang Xi knew that Lin Wang was instructing him about related matters, so he listened quietly without interrupting his train of thought before asking his own question: "Can I change the lock?"

Lin Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, but the key must be backed up by the landlord."

Jiang Xi looked at him helplessly: "I want to change the fingerprint lock, which is the same as the one in your room. I'm too lazy to go out and bring the key."

"Hey, your eyes are quite sharp." Lin Wang was amused, "Back up fingerprints"

"Then do you have a backup?" Jiang Xi asked back.

"No."

"Then why should I back up?"

"… .."

Lin Wang pinched the center of his eyebrows helplessly, and said, "It's okay not to back up, but you have to pay three months' rent in advance every time."

"Yes" Jiang Xi readily agreed, Jiang Xi has a high awareness of precautions against his own territory, and the fact that the door key is in the hands of a stranger makes Jiang Xi very insecure.

"Okay, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"I don't need the furniture in the room, where are these things?" Jiang Xi thought of the furniture in the master bedroom, feeling a little disgusted.

"There is a warehouse next to the first floor. I will ask someone to move it out tomorrow."

"Are the hall and balcony outside shared by the whole floor, or are they shared by our two rooms?"

Lin Wang was a little surprised at Jiang Xi's keen observation and analysis. He looked at Jiang Xi and felt that this person was really amazing. From the appearance alone, you would think he was just like a rabbit. During the conversation, you can see Showing his mature and cautious side, sometimes he inadvertently reveals his childlike innocence.

Lin Wang touched his cheeks, and said with a light smile, "Our two rooms share the same room, neither of which has a balcony."

Really interesting people.Lin Wang thought to himself.

Jiang Xi nodded to indicate that he knew.

"No more?" Lin Wang asked, twisting his neck and stretching his shoulders.

"It's gone." Jiang Xi looked at the phone.

19:57

"Okay, let's go." Lin Wang stretched out his hand towards the door, signaling Jiang Xi to go first.

After Jiang Xi walked out, Lin Wang stretched out his hand to close the door, and then followed Jiang Xi downstairs.Every time Lin Wang passes through a floor, he will close the door that was not closed when he inspected the house just now.

Looking at his movements, Jiang Xi thought to himself that this person is quite meticulous.

When he arrived at the gate, Lin Wang looked at Jiang Xi who was standing under the street lamp. The orange light of the street lamp shone on Jiang Xi's face. The lines of Jiang Xi's facial features were softened by the light, with a hazy charm. A cuteness was added to this charm, and the two were perfectly integrated in Jiang Xi.

"Where are you going? Do you want me to see you off?" Lin Wang leaned against the wall, melting himself into the darkness, unable to see his expression clearly.

"No, the taxi is here." Jiang Xi looked at the reply on the phone screen. It was the driver in the afternoon. The other party helped him, and he should give him something in return.Jiang Xi doesn't like to owe favors to others, whether they are acquaintances or strangers.

"Thank you for today, I have time to treat you to dinner another day."

"Okay. Be careful on the road."

The taxi beeped a few times by the side of the road, Jiang Xi waved Lin Wang goodbye, and immediately ran to the taxi, got in the car and closed the door.

Lin Wang looked at the taxi leaving in the distance, squinted his eyes, then turned and walked into the corridor.

Don't worry, it's a long time coming.
