Chapter 63 Renting a House
There are many vendors on the street, which makes the street very lively.

When he got home, he asked Yang to take out the glutinous rice and boil it into a paste. I took out a stack of red paper and wrote: Rent a house for 50 cents per month for a single room, 100 cents per month for a large room, 200 to 300 cents per month for a small courtyard, and 500 to 800 cents per month for a large courtyard. Words such as month.

I wrote ten sheets, poured the glutinous rice paste into a wooden bucket, and holding a small brush, posted the first rental notice on the door of my house. People passing by stopped to watch.

Some people passing by saw this and asked, "Girl, what are you posting?"

Gu Yu pointed to a few big characters and said: "That's it. My family has bought a house and I plan to rent it out. So I found this way and posted a rental notice."

"Leasing information?" The person who asked the question asked curiously: "The girl's family has a house for rent!"

Everyone in the neighborhood knew that there was a large house for sale in the street behind. The house was luxurious and magnificent, but its price was so high that it was beyond the reach of the residents on this street.

For those wealthy families, this street is full of common people, and it is not worth buying such an expensive house here.

Unexpectedly, this house was bought by Gu Yu.

A young man wearing a white robe said at this time: "I know that house. My family also visited it. The price was too high and I couldn't get the money to buy it."

Gu Yu nodded matter-of-factly and said, "The price is indeed too high. It costs my parents' lifetime savings!" Then she said to Li An sincerely, "Brother, I have a house for rent here. If you are with me, If you know someone who wants to rent a house, can you recommend me? The price is absolutely fair.”

Li An's house is near Gu Yu's house, and his house also has a yard for rent. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, if there is one, I will introduce it to you." Then she asked Gu Yu if she bought the shop.

Gu Yu said yes, and also said that he planned to open a fast food shop. Li An smiled more sincerely and said, "Okay, your shop will open tomorrow, and Li will come to visit."

People who lived nearby and passed by heard the two talking and asked Gu Yu if it was true.

Gu Yu said yes, and after dealing with the new neighbors, she continued to take the red paper to the street in front and put it up.

Along the way, someone asked what the paper was for. After the explanation, someone asked, "You said you have a house for rent there?"

Gu Yu looked at the person in front of him with clear features and clear eyes, giving him a sense of stability, and replied calmly, "Yes, I have a house for rent here, are you interested?"

Yu Hua was worried about not being able to find a suitable place to live, so he immediately responded, "Of course, I want to rent a few houses. Can you show me some?"

"Okay." Gu Yu, carrying a wooden bucket in one hand and red paper in the other, took Yu Hua to the rental house and asked him what kind of room he wanted to rent. Do you want to rent short-term or long-term?

"I work as a bookkeeper at Hui'an Tea House. I have to pick up my wife and children, and I want to find a place to live. If possible, I will rent it long-term." Yu Hua's salary is only 20 to 30 taels a month, and he pays half of it to the public. Part of it goes to his wife and children to support their three children.

In the past, he lived alone in the county town and could just find a place to sleep. His wife and children could not live anywhere they wanted when they came out, but they still had money left in their hands. Excluding food and clothing, there is not much left.

He wants his wife and children to live a good life, but he has no ability! He said: "I have two daughters, one son, and we rent three houses together."

Gu Yu glanced at him, then pointed to the rows of houses in the backyard and said, "The backyards are all single rooms."

Yu Hua followed Gu Yu into the single room. The space inside was about fifty square meters, which could accommodate a bed, a wardrobe, a table and chairs, and a dressing table.

Looking at the clean and tidy house, Yu Hua asked with satisfaction, "This house costs fifty cents a room, right?" "Yes." Gu Yu replied. He then showed Yu Hua the two rooms next door. Yu Hua pointed to one of them and said, "I don't live in this room. Can I cook?"

Gu Yu: "..."

Cook? ?
Oh, no, no, no, cooking is not allowed in her room. "...There is a kitchen in the backyard. You can cook in the kitchen. If you find it inconvenient to share the kitchen with other people, buy a stove yourself and put it in front of your house." Yes, you can’t cook in the room.”

When he went to the kitchen, he saw that it was not small, with two large stoves, but there were so many rooms in the backyard, and people must have moved in one after another. It would be difficult to cook, and he had other plans, saying: "There will be many people there then." , the kitchen is only so small, it’s hard to arrange it!”

Gu Yu put her hands behind her back and said, "If there's anything you can't do, you can put away your own firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. Whoever's cooking time stipulates will do it."

"And you can also do it in front of your house, so you don't have to crowd in here!"

Yu Hua still felt something was wrong and hesitated and said: "...If you encounter a sneaky, cunning and cunning person, it will be difficult to deal with!"

Gu Yu: "..."

She didn't rent to someone who looked mean, sinister and cunning, so Yu Hua's worries were purely unnecessary.

But no matter what she said, Yu Hua just said it was inappropriate. Gu Yu said with a numb face: "It's okay if it's inappropriate. Anyway, the arrangement in my backyard is like this. There is absolutely no cooking in the room."

When it gets cold in the room, you can light a fire in the brazier to keep warm. If she wanted to cook, she was afraid that someone would not pay attention and start a fire, so she really couldn't do it. "Actually, it's not me who said it. Your two daughters are thirteen or fourteen years old, and your son is ten years old. They are the age to take a break."

"One hundred and fifty cents for three single rooms. Your monthly salary is not low. Even if you pay half of it to the public school, you still have a little on hand."

"Since your wife and children have followed you to the county town, they will definitely not be able to stay at home all the time waiting for you to support them. Your family must use the kitchen a lot. Why don't you pay a few dozen more coins and rent a small courtyard with a door? Guan, no matter how much you do, you won't hurt anyone else. Your three children have more room to move around, and your two daughters don't have to avoid others all the time."

Although men and women are equal in Daqi, some special families still have a patriarchal attitude.

Moreover, men and women should be careful. Unmarried men and women should take some time off, otherwise it is not good to spread some gossip.

Of course, it is impossible for Yu Hua's wife and children to come to the county town to enjoy the blessings. The couple agreed that when his wife and children came out, he would go to work during the day, while his wife would take her two daughters to cook food at home and sell it outside.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep saying that the kitchen was not right and wanted to dedicate a room to cooking.

After thinking for a long time, I felt that Gu Yu's words were not unreasonable. Not only did his two daughters grow up to be beautiful, they were also Xiaojiabiyu.

There are rows of houses like this in the backyard. Who knows whether the people living in the back are men or women.

It's okay if it's a woman, but if it's that kind of wretched and thoughtful man, the reputation of his two daughters is not good. He said, "My host, can you take Yu to see the small courtyard you mentioned?"

The front yard of this house was negotiated with Gu Wu Yang not to rent it out, but to keep it for his own use.

Taking people to the second courtyard, he came to a small courtyard and said: "Although this courtyard is a bit small, it only has one wing room, one main room, and a small kitchen. The rent is two hundred yuan a month. See if you are the second one." For a tenant, if you rent, it will be 180 fen this year, and I will return it to the normal price of 200 fen later."
