Chapter 1959 80s 8
Su Yan smiled and said, "My fiancé is here. I don't want to live in his house. I'll find a place for myself first."
"Oh, I see."
When you are away from home, you have to find your own fiancé. Just because you don't have one now doesn't mean you won't have one in the future. So she said it without blushing or getting nervous, and she was not worried about being exposed at all.
I thought that after the meal, we would probably never see each other again.
Jiang Hong then kindly said, "I have a distant cousin of a relative who is said to be going abroad. He still has two rooms. How about I ask for you?"
"Haha, what a coincidence, no need to bother."
"It's not a trouble. You are my daughter's savior. How can such a small matter be considered a trouble? By the way, Su Yan, where do you live now?"
"I'm staying in a guesthouse for now. It's not far from here."
"Okay, I'll go ask for you tomorrow. Don't worry, we'll look for it slowly."
"Uh, haha, thank you in advance."
"We are friends, and you are still being polite to me."
"hey-hey......"
Jiang Hong's family was overly enthusiastic, and Su Yan had a hard time saying goodbye. Jiang Hong originally wanted to ask her lover to see her off, but Su Yan had to persuade her to give up this idea.
Jiang Hong and her husband Gao Zhenhua are a dual-income family. Jiang Hong works in a department store and her husband Gao Zhenhua works in a state-owned restaurant.
They are all locals, and the small courtyard house just now is also a house passed down from generation to generation.
Originally, there were three families living in the house. One of the families went abroad, so they sold the house to them.
Both the Jiang family and the Gao family live there. Now Jiang Hong and Gao Zhenhua have formed a new family, and they just happened to use the neighbor's house they bought as their wedding house.
Originally, they wanted to make room for Su Yan to live in, but Su Yan strongly refused, which discouraged their good intention.
Su Yan knew that it was somewhat inconvenient for her as an outsider to live in someone else's house. What's more, she was not used to this way of life. She had many secrets, so it was most convenient for her to live alone.
She still wanted to buy a house. Besides, houses were cheap now, and it was the best time to buy one. Why should she squeeze with others?
What's more, Jiang Hong really wanted to repay her, and she came to tell her the news about the house at noon the next day.
"My distant cousin's uncle said he could take you to see a place first. He's in a hurry to go abroad, so the rent can be cheaper. But there's one thing: he wants a long-term lease, not a short-term one. It depends on when you and your fiancée plan to get married. If you can't stay here for long, you can look at other places and I'll ask around for you. Originally, I wasn't planning on taking you to this house, but after seeing it, I think it's clean and cozy, perfect for you. It also has all the furniture, so you don't have to buy anything yourself."
Su Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, if it's suitable, I can rent it long-term. After all, my fiancé doesn't have a house yet and lives with his parents."
"That's great, let's go, while he's here, let's go take a look."
Jiang Hong is indeed worthy of being someone who works in a department store. She is very proactive and good at speaking.
There was no dull moment along the way.
After walking for about twenty minutes, we arrived at the place she mentioned.
There are courtyards all around here, the alleys are very clean, and there are even ivy growing on some of the walls.
After Jiang Hong knocked on the door, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came to open it. He had an elegant temperament and looked very knowledgeable and well-educated.
"Come in, please come in."
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the yard full of well-trimmed flowers and plants. These flowers and plants are very common, but they are trimmed very delicately.
The only orchid was planted in a corner with little sunlight.
Although it is a corner of the wall, it is just right for the growth of this orchid. This variety of orchid is called Spring Sword, and it likes semi-shady environment. It is an orchid that originally grows in high-altitude areas. Although it is cold-resistant, it still cannot withstand the cold weather like that in Beijing in winter.
Now it is growing so well, and you can tell at a glance that it is the result of careful cultivation.
There is also a small pond less than five square meters in the yard, with little koi playing in it.
You can tell the owner’s character by looking at the layout of the house.
Although the house is small, it has everything.
There is a living room, a study, a spacious living room, and a separate toilet and kitchen, which is more than enough for one person to live in.
Sure enough, when talking about the issue of renting a house, the other party's attitude was always gentle, and he did not show any neglect because of her clothes.
"Although I am anxious to go abroad, I will not rent it unless I find a tenant I am compatible with."
"Yeah, I understand."
"I see that you are dressed neatly and tidy, so you must be a clean girl. Although my house is not big, it still takes some time to clean it."
"Of course. If you live by yourself, you have to live in a clean and comfortable place. I also like to do housework. And when I have nothing to do, I like to trim the branches and leaves of flowers. The flowers and plants here are all well-maintained. I think Mr. Li is also a flower lover."
Hearing this, Mr. Li smiled gently, and he felt that he liked her even more.
After learning that her renting the house would not change a single flower or plant in it, he readily agreed to rent it to her.
Five dollars a month in rent is quite cheap, it's like asking her to look after the house for free.
Maybe he had the same idea. After all, he was going abroad and he certainly couldn't afford the rent.
Originally, Su Yan wanted to buy a house, but now it’s also nice to rent such a cozy house.
After signing the rental contract, the other party gave her a door key.
He will be going abroad for another half month and cannot hand over the house to her for the time being.
But he could waive the first month's rent and let her live in the guesthouse temporarily.
Su Yan felt that he was a really nice person. He even included the cost of her staying in the guesthouse for the past half month.
Jiang Hong was very happy to be able to help Su Yan, and invited Su Yan to her house for dinner in the evening.
Su Yan really couldn't resist her enthusiasm, but he was embarrassed to go to her house empty-handed, so he bought a roast duck from the state-owned restaurant and took it with him to add to the dishes.
"Look at you. I wanted to treat you to a meal, but ended up making you spend the money."
"It's a give and take, and besides, you've helped me a lot, and I haven't thanked you yet."
"That's not much of a favor. I guess he should thank you for looking after the house for him."
"Mr. Li is a good man."
"Hahaha, anyway, everyone is happy. The most important thing is that everyone is satisfied."
Su Yan nodded, looking at Jiang Hong's bright smile, thinking that it was probably because she was such an optimistic and positive person that God couldn't bear to see her sad.
There is a saying that goes, smile often and good luck will come naturally.
Maybe that's just the kind of person she is.
