Chapter 49 Rent
He saw that Bai Zirui had just returned to the courtyard on his bicycle, and he walked up to him and asked with concern, "Zirui, where have you been? Why are you back so late? It's dangerous not to come back so late alone in the future."

Seeing his sincere concern for him, Bai Zirui was still very moved. He said earnestly, "Thank you, brother, for your concern. I'm going to my uncle's house. My cousin joined the team as an educated youth in Xiaoqinghe, Fangshan. He came back today to visit relatives." , Uncle called me to have dinner together, let our cousins ​​get to know each other, so I came back late."

"Brother, are you in a hurry waiting for me so late?" Bai Zirui asked.

He Yuzhu said: "I came back from get off work to see that you didn't lock the door at home, and after I took a walk after dinner, I came back to see if you still didn't come back, so I will wait for you at the door.

Let me tell you, I have found the single-family house that you asked me to find for you near our courtyard two days ago. Tomorrow, we brothers and sisters will have a look to see if it suits you. If not, I will help you find it again. . "

Bai Zirui said emotionally: "Thank you, brother, I have troubled you about my affairs."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said: "My brother, thank you, this is what I should do as a big brother. I have been confused and failed to take good care of the rain all these years. Now that I think about it, I feel like a jerk.

I haven't fulfilled my elder brother's responsibility to my younger sister. If I can't take good care of your younger brother now, how can I have the face to see my father when he comes back. "

Bai Zirui said: "Brother, it's not all your fault! You were also deceived and didn't take good care of Sister Yushui."

He Yuzhu heard Bai Zirui's comforting words to him, sighed and said with emotion: "Zi Rui, you don't need to comfort me, I did make a mistake before, and I will naturally apologize to him when I get my father back."

The two said a few words at the gate of the courtyard, and agreed to go to see the house tomorrow morning, walk side by side to the yard and then go back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Bai Zirui had just finished two sets of boxing and was about to eat breakfast. He Yuzhu came to him to see the house, and learned that he hadn't had breakfast yet. Bai Zirui invited him to eat together. After breakfast, the two brothers went out together. Go see the house he's looking for.

The house He Yuzhu was looking for was two alleys away from the courtyard house where they lived, and they rode bicycles to the place very quickly.

When Bai Zirui saw the place, he looked around and saw that the trees were shady here, and the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed that time had stood still... As if one movement could break this rare calm, "Noisy cicadas, Lin Yujing "Niaosing Mountain is more secluded" should describe this environment!
He immediately fell in love with the environment around the house. The house was in the forest. When he and He Yuzhu walked to the door of the house, they saw that the walls around the house were covered with creepers.

The two long-standing stone lions in front of the gate can be seen from the color of the stones that they have gone through vicissitudes, and a strong sense of vicissitudes comes over us.

The gate of the house is an ancient board door with two rings for easy knocking. He and He Yuzhu parked the car, and He Yuzhu took a step forward.He picked up the iron ring and knocked on the door.

Soon someone came to open the door, and a sleepy young man in his 20s opened the door. He saw a glimmer of surprise in the eyes of He Yuzhu and Bai Zirui, and instantly became full of energy.

He said very attentively: "Master He, you are here! Come in quickly."

After speaking, he opened the two board doors, and greeted the two of them into the courtyard with smiling faces. As soon as Bai Zirui entered the courtyard, he saw some grape trellises built with wood, and green grapeberries were climbing on these On the grape trellis, it looks very vibrant.

Walking through these grape trellises into the living room of the main house, there are roughly three rooms, which are similar in layout to their ancestral house.

It’s just that the main house of their own family leaves a little space in the living room for the kitchen, while his family directly built another small house in the yard as the kitchen.

Bai Zirui liked this house very much when he saw it at first sight, and decided in his heart to rent this house, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would buy it directly.

Entering the room, He Yuzhu introduced each other to each other. The young man was named Jin Guocheng, who was the child of one of his apprentices. His ancestor was a relative of the emperor. One generation is not as good as one generation, and in the end there are only two ancestral properties left.

This elegant detached house is one of them. The other is a courtyard house with five entrances at the foot of the Forbidden City. He is a single seedling.

The street saw that he was pitiful and arranged for him to sweep the streets. He earned 28 yuan a month, but he usually idled around and often drank with his friends, which made his life difficult. It would be better to rent out this property every month and pay more for drinks.

He Yuzhu's apprentice heard that the master wanted to rent a house, so he introduced Faxiao to him out of the desire to help Faxiao, and brought He Yuzhu here. After seeing it, He Yuzhu felt that the elegant environment of the house was very suitable for Bai Zirui According to the request, I made an agreement with Jin Guocheng to bring someone to see the house.

After Jin Guocheng knew that it was Bai Zirui who wanted to rent a house, he said enthusiastically to him: "Brother Bai, please take a look at this house handed down by my ancestors. I usually live near the Forbidden City and rarely come here. Come, so the yard looks a little deserted.

If Brother Bai rents it out, I will immediately find someone to help you clean up all of these, so that Brother Bai can move in easily. "

Bai Zirui stood up and walked around the two rooms on the left and right. One of the beds was covered with quilts. Obviously, Jin Guocheng lived here temporarily yesterday, waiting for them to come to see the room today.

Although Bai Zirui was very satisfied with the house, he asked calmly, "Brother Jin, how much rent do you plan to charge this house for a month?"

Jin Guocheng rolled his eyes and said slyly: "Brother Bai is Master He's younger brother, and I and Fa Xiao are his apprentices. In this way, we can be said to be a family. I don't want this house too much. Sanyuan How about a month? Enough for me to drink."

Bai Zirui had learned before that the market price of renting a house in this era was 2 to 3 yuan a month, and Jin Guocheng's rent was also within this range.

As the saying goes, start the price on the ground and pay back the money on the spot. After some bargaining, Bai Zirui rented this house that he was very satisfied with at a price of 2.5 yuan per month, and the right to use the house belonged to him.

After Jin Guocheng settled the matter of renting a house, Bai Zirui paid one month's rent, which gave him money to drink again. He enthusiastically expressed that he would immediately find someone to help Bai Zirui clean up the yard.

But this original ecological environment was what Bai Zirui was satisfied with, so he politely declined his kindness, and he happily left with the rent paid by Bai Zirui.

After he left, He Yuzhu said, "Zi Rui, do you use this as a place for you to assemble bicycles and radios?"

Bai Zirui nodded and said: "That's right! The environment here is elegant and few people come, which is suitable for me as a secret base.

Brother, wait for you to help me, and bring here all the bicycle parts I brought back from the recycling bin these days. "
