Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 15

After packing up his belongings, Cheng Nuo said goodbye to Wen Cong after getting dressed.

"Wen Cong, I'm going out to look at the house today, and I'll come back tonight. You have to take on the responsibility of a good brother, take medicine for your sister on time, and take good care of her."

"I put some broken money on the desk. You can buy something for breakfast and lunch. If I come back too late, you can also settle for dinner."

After patting Wen Cong's head and instructing him, Cheng Nuo turned his attention to the bed, still worried about this little patient.

However, this movement woke up Wen Hui who was lying on the bed, out of shyness, she still dare not open her eyes, but her eyelashes twitch nervously.

Cheng Nuo smiled slightly when he saw it, and decided to play tricks on the little girl, so he gave Wen Cong a silent gesture.

Then he deliberately made a sound, opened the door and then closed it, making the noise that he had gone out, but in fact he was still in the room.

Wen Hui thought that the tension would not be so tight after her husband left, so she stood up to take a look.

This scene happened to be bumped into by Cheng Nuo, his eyes met, and he quickly hid his head under the blanket with an ah~ sound.

At this moment, Cheng Nuo laughed like a bad uncle who had succeeded in his scheme.

Before leaving, I did not forget to ask: "Wen Cong must remember to take medicine for my sister on time, and I will check when I come back."

After finishing speaking, he walked away.

When talking about houses in the old Beiping City, the first impression of ordinary people is courtyard houses, so Cheng Nuo went straight to Peking University after going out, wanting to see if there were any suitable houses in the nearby alleys.

In fact, apart from courtyard houses, guild halls are also a good choice.

Originally, the building of the guild hall was just to serve the fellow countrymen who came to Beijing for the imperial examination, to establish emotional bonds, and to develop official contacts.

However, with the development of the times, the form of guild halls has also changed, evolving into commercial guild halls, industrial and commercial guild halls, industry guild halls, etc. After investigation on the eve of liberation, there were still nearly 400 guild halls in Beiping City.

At the same time, the size of each clubhouse varies greatly. The small clubhouse only has a three-in-one courtyard house for several years. In addition to the large rooms, the large clubhouse also has primary and secondary schools, theaters, clinics, cemeteries, etc., and various infrastructure facilities. Everything that one expects to find can be said to be the size of a small county town.

Among them, the most famous of these guild halls is the Shaoxing guild hall. Mr. Lu Xun lived there for seven consecutive years. In order to avoid the hustle and bustle, he even moved to a haunted house and named it "Bushu Bookstore".

Cheng Nuo also thought about whether to live in a guild hall, but he thought that there might be more and more students in the family in the future, and the guild hall would be full of people talking, and one day he might get angry, so it would be better to find a private house.

When they came near the destination, they found an alley at random and got in.

It's a pity that renting a house or buying a house is not an easy task no matter in the previous life or in this life. Cheng Nuo went around the alley several times but didn't find a suitable one.

It’s hard to think that it’s good, either the interviewer’s quotation is too high for you, or there are other tenants in the house, it doesn’t matter what happens.

Just when he felt helpless and wanted to have a few sips of tea at a tea stall, a person came from behind and caught Cheng Nuo's attention.

I saw this man wearing a toad mirror, a mandarin jacket on his upper body and a long robe on his lower body, with a birdcage in his left hand and a pot gourd in his right hand. No matter how he looked, he looked like the eight-banners boy boy on TV.

The guy went straight to Cheng Nuo, sat down side by side, and said, "My lord, I see that you have walked around the alley a lot. Do you want to buy a house or rent it?"

Cheng Nuo was a little vigilant when he came up from an unknown source and asked, but he didn't want to go against each other directly, so he prevaricated: "Oh, I'm from out of town, I just came here to have a look and enjoy the scenery of the old Beiping city."

"Yo, that's kind." The mysterious man smiled cheerfully, put down the bird cage and grasshopper gourd in his hand, and took out a small bag of tea from his arms and handed it to the stall owner: "Brother, please give it to me. Soak it."

This scene stunned Cheng Nuo, and he choked on a mouthful of tea.

How thick-skinned this person must be to play like this.

Cheng Nuo shook his head, asking himself that he couldn't do it.

The mysterious man was obviously a frequent customer of the tea stand, and the stall owner just smiled helplessly after hearing this, and brought a pot of boiling water over to him to brew it for him.

"Thank you brother, I wish you better and better business and make a fortune."

"No, I'll be satisfied if I keep the stall and don't lose money."

Cheng Nuo had almost rested here, so he didn't ask the boss to refill the water, so he was about to get up, thinking that he could take a look at a few more alleys while he had time.

At this time, the mysterious man spoke suddenly and drank the tea in his hand.

"Sir, if you want to buy a house or rent a house, you can find me Wu Youde. If you can't find what you are satisfied with, I won't charge you anything until you find the right one."

Cheng Nuo hesitated for a moment. Renting a house is really not an option. His experience in the morning made him pessimistic about the results of the house inspection in the afternoon. Now it seems that it is a good choice to have an agent.

Wu Youde saw that Cheng Nuo paused for a while, and there was only something interesting to do, so he got up and said, "Sir, if you don't believe me, I can go to the surrounding area to inquire about the business of pulling Fangxian. My old Wu has never cheated anyone. I have always only done Open things up."

Lafangxian is the old name of housing agency.

Seeing this scene, the stall owner who was running around over there stopped and stood up, wiped his face with a towel, and said teasingly: "Mr. It’s a bit thick-skinned, and there’s nothing else, it’s really good at looking at houses.”

Wu Youde was a little embarrassed, but he didn't panic in the slightest. He took off the toad mirror and said plausibly: "Based on your elder brother Sun's fair words, I won't bring tea tomorrow. I'll drink from your stall."

"Bah, you should wipe off last month's account first."

From the laughing and cursing of the two, Cheng Nuo could tell that Wu Youde had some abilities, and his shortcomings were not of great influence, so he could definitely invite him to find a house.

In the end, if you really can't find a suitable house, you don't have to pay, and theoretically you can't lose anything.

After thinking about it, Cheng Nuo cupped his hands and said, "Then Mr. Lao Wu will find a house for me to rent, and I will never lose you."

As long as he finds a suitable house, commissions and so on are trivial things in Cheng Nuo's opinion. After all, he has to live for several years in a row, so the less worry he has, the better.

"Just waiting for your words." Wu Youde is also a wonderful person. He took the bird cage and the grasshopper cage and put them next to the stove of the stall owner, winked and said: "Brother Sun, please take care of me, and I will give it to you when I come back." Erase the account."

"What about this time?"

"Hey, write it down first."

At this time, a gust of wind blew off the cloth covering the bird cage, Cheng Nuo took a closer look, okay?

Not to mention birds, they don't even have a single feather.

The whole thing is used by Wu Youde to support the scene. As for the grasshopper gourd, oh, then there is no need to guess.

"Wu Youde, you are really wicked."
