The Pentium Era - South to North

After deciding to rent a house, the next question was where to rent it. Haicheng was not familiar with the place. The three of them opened the map of Haicheng with a flashlight and looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out the reason.

"We definitely can't afford to rent here. Let's go to the old town, where we eat pig's trotter rice, and we will definitely be able to find a house." Jin Lili said.

"No." Zhang Chen said, "This neighborhood must be expensive. Think about it, if people like us are more or less the same, they come here to find a job as soon as they get off the ship. If they don't find a job, they will definitely look for a house nearby. Just think It’s convenient to come to work every day, and there are many people renting houses nearby, so the rent won’t be cheap.”

"It makes sense." Jin Lili nodded and said, "That shabby hotel is so expensive."

"By the way, when I came here by motorcycle in the morning, I saw a house for rent sign on the side of the road." Liu Ligan said.

They opened the map, first found Xiuying Pier, and then walked along Binhai Avenue to the city. Liu Ligan shouted: "This should be here."

Zhang Chen saw that the place he pointed at was Binhai New Village. From the map, it was already on the edge of the city. Zhang Chen said yes, this place shouldn't be expensive, and we would go here tomorrow.

After everything was settled, the three people were sleepy. They fell down and fell asleep. After sleeping for a short time, they woke up again. They were woken up by mosquito bites. The three people sat on the sheets, grabbing them with both hands. Lily almost cried:

"My face is swollen from the bite. It's ugly. How can I have an interview tomorrow?"

Zhang Chen hurriedly comforted him. We are looking for a house tomorrow, and there will be no interview. You look bitter and resentful, maybe you can arouse the sympathy of the landlord, and the house price will be cheaper.

"Get out!" Jin Lili cursed.

She took out the Fengyou Essence from her bag and sprinkled it in a circle around the bed sheets. Not worried, she simply sprinkled it on the sheets as well, finishing the entire bottle of Fengyou Essence.

Liu Ligan thought of an idea. He picked up the flashlight and searched for a long time but couldn't find the rope. He simply took off a shoelace from his foot. He ran to a tree more than two meters away from them and used the flashlight. The shoelaces were tied to the tree trunk, opened, and the light beam faced the grass, and then came back. Zhang Chen asked him what he was doing, and Liu Ligan said proudly:

"You don't know that mosquitoes tend to light? So they all go there."

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili thought it made sense, then fell down again and continued to sleep peacefully.

She didn't know how long she slept, but Jin Lili was woken up by a mosquito bite again. She sat up, looked around, and called Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan.

"What for?" Liu Ligan asked.

Jin Lili pointed with her finger: "Your flashlight is gone."

Sure enough, the tree where the flashlight was tied was dark. Zhang Chen said, maybe the battery had run out.

Liu Ligan stood up and walked over. After a while, he came over with a shoelace and told them that the flashlight was gone, but he met a moral thief and he kept my shoelace.

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili laughed wildly.

The three of them sat with their hands together and scratched a lot of itches. Jin Lili sighed: "I really don't understand how I got through those ten days."

Zhang Chen suddenly thought of a question and said, "Pole, I remembered it. If you tied the fucking flashlight there, would it attract all the mosquitoes in the park?"

"Hmph, I think it's the whole Hai City!" Jin Lili cursed.

Liu Ligan was stunned for a moment, and then said, well now, the flashlight is gone, and the mosquitoes in Haicheng should follow suit and go to sleep.

The three of them fell down. After several struggles, they were no longer sleepy, so they simply sat up and chatted.

After finally waiting until dawn, Jin Lili said, can we go?

Zhang Chen looked at his watch: "It's only five o'clock, which landlord would get up."

At around six o'clock, Jin Lili said again, can we go?

Zhang Chen looked at his watch, but before he spoke, Jin Lili shouted: "It takes time for us to ride a motorcycle, and it takes time to find a place. When we arrive, it's time for the hard-working Hainan people to get up."

"Let's go, let's go, the worst we can do is sleep in front of someone else's house." Liu Ligan also shouted, "Let them see our sincerity in renting a house."

The three of them got up, hung their bags back on their bodies one by one, and walked out of the park gate. They didn't see any motorcycles, so they walked towards the open space. When they got there, there were already many motorcycles parked there.

Jin Lili told a motorcycle driver to go to Binhai Avenue. The other person said three yuan. When asked again, it was also three yuan. Jin Lili asked curiously, do the motorcycle drivers in this place not know other numbers?

When we were ready to leave, the motorcycle driver asked where to go to Binhai Avenue.

Jin Lili said a place to rent a house.

"There are houses for rent in Binhai New Village and Binya Village. Where to go?" the driver asked.

“Where is the cheapest house?”

"That must be Bin Ya Village."

"Okay, then let's go to some village like Hama."

"Four dollars."

"Didn't we agree on three yuan?" Jin Lili shouted.

"Binya Village is far away," the driver also shouted.

"Four yuan is four yuan. If the road is far away, the house will be cheaper. Let's go." Zhang Chen said.

"Yongcheng is still far away, and the house is free. Are you going?" Jin Lili rolled her eyes at him, but still got on the back seat of the motorcycle.

Liu Ligan and Zhang Chen told their drivers respectively to follow the car in front.

"That fierce woman?" the driver asked.

Zhang Chen laughed: "Yes, that very fierce woman."

"Why didn't you hit her?" the driver asked confused.

"I don't dare." Zhang Chen said.

The driver said disdainfully: "You mainland men are really useless."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Chen nodded quickly.

When they arrived at Binya Village, there were indeed many houses for rent. They saw a rental note posted on the door of a house. A woman was sitting at the door. Jin Lili asked her if there were any houses for rent here.

The woman didn't say anything, stood up and walked towards the door. Zhang Chen and the other two stood there, looking at each other in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

The woman walked into the yard, looked back and saw the three of them still standing there, so she waved to them. The three of them were stunned for a moment before they realized that she was calling them. They walked in, and the woman walked upstairs. The three people followed them to the stairs. The woman had already reached the second floor. She was so fast. She stood at the stairs of the second floor and still waved to them.

When the three of them walked to the second floor, she was already on the third floor. Still waving, the three of them followed to the third floor. There was a corridor on the third floor facing the yard. There were four doors on this side of the corridor. The woman walked to the second floor. In front of the door, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. Zhang Chen and the others saw that this was an empty room of 14 to 5 square meters. There was nothing in the room, but it had been cleaned very well.

At that time, when renting a house, you had to buy your own furniture, so the three of them were not surprised at all when they saw an empty room, but it was the clean floor that made Jin Lili like it immediately. She said that lying on the floor was better than It’s much more comfortable on the grass in the park.

Jin Lili asked the landlord, where is the toilet?

The woman looked at her, wondering what she was talking about.

Jin Lili said it three times before the woman understood. She walked out of the door and led them into the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a pool. There was a door beside the pool. The door was open. They saw a squatting pit inside. Above the pit, there is a bent water pipe for showering. It seems that in this toilet, standing in the same place, you can solve all the problems in your body.

As soon as Jin Lili saw the shower pipe, she shouted, rent it, I want to take a shower.

After calling, I realized that I didn’t even ask how much the rent was.

Liu Ligan asked the landlord, how much does this room cost?

The woman held up two fingers.

"It's cheaper." Liu Ligan said.

The woman looked at Liu Ligan and said nothing. Instead, she leaned out of the corridor and shouted down: "Yi~ah~!"

After a while, a little boy of eleven or twelve years old ran up from below. He seemed to be a primary school student who was at home during the summer vacation. When he saw Liu Ligan and the others, he said, "Two hundred."

"A bit cheaper."

"One hundred ninety-nine."

"Cheaper."

"One hundred and ninety-eight."

"Cheaper."

"One hundred and ninety-seven."

…

Liu Ligan paid one hundred and nineteen, and if he said it was cheaper, the little boy kept shaking his head and said, no, if it was cheaper, my mother would beat me.

The woman didn't understand what they were talking about and stood on the edge. Every time the boy looked at her, she nodded.

Jin Lili said: "Forget it, that's it, I want to take a shower."

"The shower is over there." The little boy pointed to the end of the corridor.

Jin Lili smiled and said, I know. She remembered something and discussed with the boy, "Look, there are three of us. Can we stay in this room for the time being?"

The boy looked at her strangely, wondering why she asked this question.

Jin Lili spoke again, and the boy shouted impatiently:

"You can do whatever you want in your room, you can even raise a pig."

Jin Lili was overjoyed. She urged Zhang Chen to quickly hand over 190 yuan. The woman took out two keys from her pocket and gave them to them, then went downstairs with the little boy. Jin Lili threw the bag on the ground while cried:

"Don't fight me, I'll be the first to take a shower!"
