Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 560 My neighbor is a female star?

"No, Mr. Tomioka, is this the house you found for me?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned subconsciously as he looked at the somewhat familiar building.

"That's right, this is the house I'm looking for for you." Nobuo Tomioka chuckled, "According to your requirements, this house here is the most qualified house."

"Is there no other choice?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Nobuo Tomioka smiled and shook his head: "Cao Sang, renting a house is not that simple, it doesn't mean that if you want to rent a house, you can rent it immediately.

What's more, you have many requirements, and the price must be suitable. This is already the best house I can find so far.

Besides, we have already come, and the landlord has also made an appointment, and they are all waiting for us to come to the door. It seems that it is not good if we don't go now.

Why don't you go and have a look with me first, and let's talk if you are not satisfied, okay? "

After hearing what the other party said, Cao Zhiqiang didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

However, after Cao Zhiqiang followed Nobuo Tomioka up to the third floor and saw a familiar house number, his expression finally changed.

That's right, the room 3301 near the stairs is exactly the house where Akina Nakamori lives.

The last time Cao Zhiqiang was here, it was only a few days ago, so he is quite familiar with this place.

Fortunately, Nobuo Tomioka did not stop in front of Room 3301, but continued to walk until he reached Room 3302 next door, then stopped and rang the doorbell.

"Mrs. Matsumoto!" Nobuo Tomioka who rang the doorbell said loudly, "I am Mr. Tomioka who had contacted you before, and now I am bringing someone to see the house."

Soon, a young woman's voice came from inside: "Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Soon, the door opened, and a woman in her early thirties, who was a little over 1.5 meters tall and looked ordinary, but exquisitely dressed, dressed in gold and silver, and from a good family background appeared.

Seeing that woman appear, Nobuo Tomioka immediately bowed lightly, and then said with a smile: "Mrs. Matsumoto, I am Mr. Tomioka. This time I am here to show someone the house. I am really sorry for your inconvenience."

"Ah, yes, yes." Mrs. Matsumoto smiled and nodded, then looked at Cao Zhiqiang next to Nobuo Tomioka, her eyes lit up immediately.

There is no way, although Cao Zhiqiang is only wearing a simple white shirt and jeans now, but he is fair-skinned, tall and thin, and has a very handsome appearance, which is especially loved by this kind of housewives.

Especially the height of 1.8 meters [-] is rare in Japan at this time.

"Is this the gentleman who wants to rent my house?" Mrs. Matsumoto looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a smile and asked.

Tomioka Nobuo chuckled: "Yes, that's him."

Mrs. Matsumoto blinked, then said with a smile: "That's it, please come in quickly, come in and talk."

After speaking, Mrs. Matsumoto opened the door completely.

"Then excuse me!" Tomioka Nobuo nodded again with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang could only nod along.

There is no way, do as the Romans do, sometimes others bow and nod, and he will subconsciously follow suit, maybe this is conformity.

After Cao Zhiqiang followed Tomioka Nobuo into the room, he immediately looked around.

How should I put it, the decoration of this house is really good, it is a classic Japanese modern style decoration.

To put it simply, a sunken porch is made at the entrance door, and the height difference between the upper and lower floors of the porch is at least ten centimeters.

The sunken entrance is covered with coffee-colored floor tiles, changing shoes and clothes is all done in this sunken entrance.

The top of the porch, that is, the interior floor, is paved with wooden floors. The texture of the wooden floor alone can tell that it is most likely to be solid wood.

Also, there are no slippers and no shoe covers, which means you have to take off your shoes at the entrance and go in with socks or bare feet.

Regarding this design, Cao Zhiqiang didn't know whether to say yes or no.

From a cleanliness point of view it's nice, but not so good in case guests have smelly feet like athlete's foot.

Fortunately, Mrs. Matsumoto, Nobuo Tomioka, and of course Cao Zhiqiang himself have no athlete's foot, so there is nothing wrong with taking off your shoes and entering the house.

After entering, it is directly the living room. The living room is decorated in a modern style. It is not the traditional Japanese style tatami. The coffee table does not need to kneel down, but there is a sofa and a coffee table. Opposite the sofa is a TV cabinet. The TV cabinet is empty. There should be a TV somewhere.

Behind the sofa is the dining room, with a dining table and chairs, and behind the dining room is an open kitchen.

Off-white wallpaper is pasted on the wall, ceiling lights are hung from the ceiling, and there are white energy-saving light tubes inside, which is not bad in this era.

Surprisingly, there is an air conditioner here, but the air conditioner is a window type air conditioner, which is installed next to the window and looks like a large ventilation fan.

It seems that the air conditioner should be made a hole in the wall alone, not installed on the window.

In short, it is a Japanese-style home style with a relatively modern decoration style according to current standards.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang is actually very familiar with this style of decoration. After all, he often saw similar decoration styles in his island country love action movies in his previous life, but it looks more lifelike here.

Soon, several people were invited to sit at the table.

Yes, it's the dining table, not the sofa.

Because of the habit here, when outsiders come to visit, they always go to the restaurant to sit on the chairs, and only close family members will sit on the sofa.

In fact, this is also very good, sitting at the dining table looks more formal, and it is not easy to get dirty when serving tea and snacks.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Zhiqiang and Tomioka Nobuo sat side by side at the dining table, Mrs. Matsumoto began serving tea and desserts.

After some busy work, when the tea and snacks were served, Mrs. Matsumoto sat across from Cao Zhiqiang and Nobuo Tomioka, and started a formal negotiation.

At the beginning, it was Mrs. Matsumoto who asked him where Cao Zhiqiang was from, what he did for work, and how many people lived there.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the other party's house seemed to be the kind that he loved very much. It was normal to be picky about guests.

When she heard that Cao Zhiqiang was from China and came here to be an artist and lived alone, Mrs. Matsumoto just nodded without commenting.

The next thing is to talk about money.

Mrs. Matsumoto's request is 40 yen per month, and three months' rent must be paid first.

Other utility bills, gas bills, and garbage bills are calculated separately and paid by Cao Zhiqiang alone.

What's more, the house must be cherished and cleaned frequently. Mrs. Matsumoto will come to check once a month. If it is found that Cao Zhiqiang does not pay attention to hygiene and the house is in a bad condition, she has the right to terminate the lease contract in advance.

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang said that he could accept it, but he did not talk to Mrs. Matsumoto directly, but quietly told Nobuo Tomioka to let Nobuo Tomioka talk to her.

Nobuo Tomioka began to bargain with Mrs. Matsumoto, and finally paid 36 yen a month, paying three months' rent first, and other conditions remained the same.

After the talk, Nobuo Tomioka took out a contract from his briefcase and asked Mrs. Matsumoto and Cao Zhiqiang to sign it.

This made Cao Zhiqiang very surprised. He thought that signing a rental contract would require the presence of a real estate agent.

As a result, Nobuo Tomioka said that this kind of housing lease contract is legally valid as long as both parties agree, sign and seal or press their fingerprints, and no intermediary is required.

What's more, there is a third person, Tomioka Nobuo, present, so it's no problem.

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang can only lament that the Japanese people in this period are really big.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang and Mrs. Matsumoto signed and sealed the agreement.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang does not have a personal seal in Japan, he has his fingerprints, but Mrs. Matsumoto has a private seal.

After signing and stamping the contract, Mrs. Matsumoto was obviously much happier, and then began to chat with the two about her family affairs.

It turned out that Mrs. Matsumoto's husband was away on business trips for a long time, and she and her children were the only ones here.

Originally, Mrs. Matsumoto was quite satisfied with living here, but she had to change places for her children to go to a better school.

Maybe Cao Zhiqiang is Chinese, Mrs. Matsumoto also explained the concept of school district housing here.

It turns out that at this time, public schools in Japan are all enrolled in the nearest public school. If children want to go to public schools, they don't need any household registration, it just depends on your place of residence.

If your place of residence is near the school and belongs to the school zone, then you can enroll in this school.

Although Japanese public schools do not distinguish between key points and non-key points, the teaching equipment of different public schools is roughly the same, and the teacher rotation system has even been implemented long ago. Both the principal and the teacher have to go to different schools on a regular basis. In terms of scope, it has reached a very fair level, but it still has the concept of school district housing.

The so-called school district housing in Japan is actually calculated according to the school district.

That is to say, in general, areas with relatively high housing prices and relatively high household class have better quality of students.

After all, the richer the family, the higher the emphasis on children's education.

And anyone who really understands knows that for a school, the most valuable thing is the quality of the students, not the hardware facilities and the strength of the teachers.

If a school has a good source of students, and they are all good children with high IQ and love to learn, then naturally their grades are generally good, and vice versa.

Otherwise, Hengshui High School and the like would not appear in the country. It is really a way to gather high-quality students together. In terms of the efficiency of entering a higher school, it is really great.

In the same way, a school in a good school district has a good source of students, a high admission rate, and high-quality classmates. If you can grow up with good classmates, when your child graduates and becomes an adult, these former classmates can help.

Although Shibuya looks good now, it is not a good school district after all.

The place in Tokyo that can be called a good school district has to be Bunkyo District where famous schools gather. For example, the University of Tokyo is located in Bunkyo District.

At the same time, the law and order in Bunkyo District is also the highest in Tokyo. It is like this now and will remain like this in the future.

Especially when a woman like Mrs. Matsumoto is raising children, she pays special attention to security. She doesn't want her children to be bullied by classmates when they are in school, or blackmailed by peripheral members of the Yakuza organization.

After saying this, Mrs. Matsumoto started to talk about how hard it is for a woman to take care of a child. By the way, she showed off her superiority in a subtle way. For example, her husband's monthly income is 100 million yen.

100 million yen, calculated now, is almost 8000 yuan. If it is changed to 2023, it will be more than 5 yuan.

Whether it is now or in the future, this level is a proper high income.

No wonder she is so proud, and she is willing to stay at home with her children like a widow. It is really too much money.

But hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang always felt weird.

My husband is on a long-term business trip, and the rich wife stays at home alone with the children, and the children go to school, while the wife stays at home alone...

Hey, this plot is somehow familiar!
Sure enough, art comes from life, honesty does not deceive me.

Interestingly, a telephone was also installed here, but the telephone was not removed.

Mrs. Matsumoto told Cao Zhiqiang that when he lived here, he had to pay the monthly phone bill, but he could use the phone here, but in case someone called Mrs. Matsumoto, he had to inform the other party of his rent. and tell the other party Mrs. Matsumoto's new phone number.

In other words, Mrs. Matsumoto gave Cao Zhiqiang the number of her new phone, and told him with a smile that she could call her anytime if something happened.

For some reason, when he heard this, Cao Zhiqiang always felt his heart fluttering, and even felt that Mrs. Matsumoto's eyes on him were not quite right, and he always felt that she was pointing something.

Of course, this may be Cao Zhiqiang's illusion. After all, he watched too many movies in his previous life, and it's normal to think too much sometimes.

After all, this is a conservative 80s, so it shouldn't be.

In this way, the contract was signed in a daze, and the money was paid in a daze.

After Mrs. Matsumoto and Mr. Tomioka left, leaving only Cao Zhiqiang at home, he suddenly woke up.

"Hey, that's not right, why did I choose this place in a daze? Didn't I just come up to take a look? How did it get done so quickly?"

After thinking about it again with a frown, Cao Zhiqiang recalled what had happened before, and suddenly realized that Mrs. Matsumoto seemed to be talking to Nobuo Tomioka all the time, and he couldn't get in the way.

Then he said a few words, under Tomioka Nobuo's enthusiasm, he signed a contract with Mrs. Matsumoto in a daze, and pressed his fingerprints.

But in fact, at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang didn't think about living here.

The reason is very simple, not because I think there is something wrong with Mrs. Matsumoto, nor because the house is not good, nor because the price is too expensive, but because of Akina Nakamori.

Yes, Akina Nakamori lives next door, so why does he move here?
You neighbor sister さん?
My neighbor is a female star?

Hiss... Another very familiar plot.

After raising his eyebrows, Cao Zhiqiang gently touched his forehead, always feeling as if he had been tricked.

After the forehead support, Cao Zhiqiang decided to accept the reality.

After all, the money has been given and the contract has been signed, so I can't go back on my word now.

If you go back on the contract, you will lose your money.

That's three months' rent, [-] million yen, not a lot!

"Forget it, if you come here, let's settle down, let's stay and have a look," Cao Zhiqiang said with a sigh, "It's just Akina Nakamori, he's just a neighbor, it should be fine... right?"
