Wu Ren saw that Meng Haisheng didn't want to rent his house, and his face looked a little unhappy.

"Why would it be cold? It won't be cold in winter if we light the stove in the house. Besides, you guys who came from the countryside are all hardworking and can endure hardships. Why don't you just do it yourself and take a rest?"

"But if you think the price is expensive and want me to lower the price, I will definitely not lower it. This is already the lowest price."

Meng Haisheng glanced at the rotten window with holes and sneered in his heart.

Good guy, rural people are just like steel and iron. In winter, the strong north wind blows, and they rely on their righteousness to resist the severe cold?

"It's not a matter of price. I just dislike the house is too broken."

Meng Haisheng was too lazy to pay attention to Wu Ren and came out of the house directly.

He didn't come here to help the poor. Since he spent money, he definitely didn't want to spend more money to repair the house.

Wu Ren saw Meng Haisheng leave, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He came out of the house cursing.

"If you can't afford the rent, just tell me earlier. It's a waste of my time. I came here in a hurry from the newly built staff quarters of the machinery factory. I was almost killed by the heat."

When Wu Ren was talking, he was locking the door. Perhaps he was too angry and used too much force when locking the door.

With a sound of a bang, the wooden door, which was not very strong to begin with, was pulled down by Wu Ren.

From the cross section, the whole wooden door was probably bitten by rats.

"Oh my God, how did the door fall down."

Wu Ren was completely dumbfounded. His house had been without an owner for only one year. How could it feel like everything broke overnight?

When he lived here, he didn't feel anything was wrong.

Originally, Meng Haisheng wanted to say something to Wu Ren, but seeing the miserable appearance of his door, he couldn't help laughing and left.

"Haisheng, I'm sorry to make you come for nothing. When I came here a few days ago, I didn't ask for the key, so I just looked outside."

Things got so out of hand that Meng Jincheng felt very uncomfortable.

"It's okay. Renting a house is not like going out to buy a steamed bun. You can just make do with it. If you don't like it, just find another one."

The two were talking downstairs when an auntie suddenly came over.

"Little comrade, I just heard you say you want to rent a house?"

"Auntie Du, this is my cousin."

"Hey, it turns out to be Jincheng. I didn't recognize you just now."

Auntie Du is Meng Jinfeng's neighbor in the same building. She is also an old worker in the textile factory. Last year, the textile factory built a batch of new staff quarters. Auntie Du's family had a quota, and they moved there.

Originally, his son lived here, but he didn't seem to be seen recently.

"You know my house, my son doesn't live there anymore, so I've been thinking about renting it out these days."

"Aunt Du, how much do you want to rent it out for? I remember your house is a big two-bedroom apartment."

"Yes, my house is at the edge, and there's an extra storage room. We're old neighbors, so I won't ask for much from you, just give me five dollars a month."

Meng Haisheng was immediately attracted when he heard that it was also a first-floor house with a yard, and it was also owned by the owner.

"Aunt Du, can I go see what your house looks like?"

"Okay, even though my house is on the first floor, I've kept it very clean."

Aunt Du took Meng Haisheng to see her house, which was very close to Meng Jincheng's house.

Meng Jincheng's house was on the third floor of the same building, and Aunt Du's was on the first floor.

Aunt Du's house was on the east side, and the location was very good.

"I wanted to leave this house to my son, but he was ambitious and gave up such a good job in the textile factory. He followed others to the south to make a living, so the house was empty."

Aunt Du opened the door and the house was clean. Although the furniture was a bit old, the floor and walls were spotless.

The house was also a two-bedroom apartment. There was a small storage room at the entrance to store some sundries.

The balcony was connected to the small courtyard, which was at least 20 to 30 square meters. There was a door in front for easy access.

There should have been some vegetables planted in the yard before, but now there are only some weeds in the vegetable field.

Standing in the yard, you can just see the main road of the community.

Meng Haisheng was very satisfied with this yard. Not to mention the location, the house was clean and tidy, and he could move in directly, which would save a lot of effort.

"Aunt Du, let's sign a two-year contract first, and I'll pay you two years' rent at a time."

"Okay, we're old neighbors, no problem, you live here, and if you have any problems, you can come to me directly."

There was no real estate agent at the moment, let alone a rental contract.

Meng Haisheng wrote a contract in duplicate, and the two signed and stamped on it, and it was done.

Meng Haisheng paid two years' rent to Aunt Du on the spot, and Aunt Du gave Meng Haisheng the key to the house.

After seeing Aunt Du off, Meng Haisheng went into the house again to see if Meng Xuan wanted to live in the house.We need to clean up again.

During lunch, Meng Haisheng talked about Meng Yu with Meng Jincheng and Li Guixiang.

"I don't think this is very reliable. The textile factory hasn't recruited people from outside for a long time. Besides, Meng Yu has a rural household registration. Even if the textile factory recruits people, she won't be able to get in."

"Sister-in-law, is it possible that my sister got into the textile factory through connections?"

"Even if Meng Yu knows the factory director, it won't work. Now the children of the factory employees can't be arranged to work. Do you think Meng Yu can easily get into the textile factory?"

Meng Haisheng nodded slightly. What Li Guixiang said was right. There was no family planning in the 1960s. At that time, every family had three, four, or five children.

Now the children have grown up, and it is impossible to get all of them to work in the factory.

That's why the crazy family planning started in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Meng Haisheng felt a little cold in his heart. The Qiao family was deliberately fooling their family.

It is very likely that the Qiao family knows Meng Yu's whereabouts, but they don't want to tell.

They are afraid that the Meng family will find Meng Yu back.

The more Meng Haisheng thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

When he returned, he had to discuss with his parents and see when to go to the Qiao family again.

After lunch, Meng Haisheng did not rush back to the village, but looked at the house inside and out again.

The small storage room at the door can be converted into a toilet.

Because it is on the first floor, he led a sewer pipe from the house to the public toilet, which is still no problem.

There is a toilet in the house, which is more convenient to live in.

The house is a bit old, and the cement floor is somewhat damp. The most popular thing now is floor leather.

Meng Haisheng thought about it and felt that it would not cost much to lay floor leather. It can prevent moisture and look beautiful, so it is worth considering.

He checked the doors and windows again. They are all relatively solid, and there are even anti-theft windows installed outside.

It can be seen that Aunt Du was quite attentive when she lived here before.

Renting a house and moving in to live here still requires a lot of chores.

Meng Xuan will have to cook when she comes to live here, and the children will have to study when they come here, so Meng Haisheng will have to buy a few more desks.

So many children can't stay in the house all the time, and they have to clean up the yard outside later.

Meng Haisheng plans to cover the entire yard with wooden boards.

Then make a climbing wooden frame in the yard, and then make a goal so that the children can play football.

He tries to leave space for the children to move around, so that the children don't get bored in the house.

Meng Haisheng only made a little plan here, and it was over in the afternoon. In order to open the small nursery class as soon as possible, Meng Haisheng came early the next day.

Renovating the storage room, laying floor leather, and laying wooden floors in the yard, as long as the money is in place, all things can be done together.

However, Meng Haisheng just decided on the wooden climbing frame and goal today, and he has to wait another four or five days to get the finished products.
