Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Chapter 276

"Here we are, this is it. Professor Jin should be at home at this time!"

With that said, the staff member raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Song Xiuxiu looked up and saw the Guangliang gate and the drum stone, which represented the identity of the owner.

The blue brick and red door is antique and has a sense of historical vicissitudes and heaviness.

It didn't take long for the courtyard door to be opened from the inside, and an old lady with gray hair and a childlike face was seen standing there.

Although the old man has silver hair all over his head, his skin is fair and his face is smooth, without many traces of time.

"Professor Jin, I will bring someone to see your house today. Can you take a look?"

The staff asked cautiously.

Professor Jin stood in the door without speaking.

Instead, he turned his attention to Lu Aiguo and Song Xiuxiu, and glanced up and down.

Seeing this, Song Xiuxiu said, "Hello, Professor Jin, my wife is a retired soldier and is scheduled to work here. Our family has a large population and it is really inconvenient to live in a family home, so I want to rent a house."

"I heard that your yard is for rent, so I wanted to come and take a look."

After finishing speaking, he said to several children on the side: "Say hello to Grandma Jin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several children shouted respectfully to Professor Jin: "Hello, Grandma Jin!"

Professor Jin took one more look at the children before saying, "Come in!"

After saying that, he turned aside to make a way for them.

Song Xiuxiu warned several children before entering the door: "You are not allowed to make a fuss, you are not allowed to run around, and you are not allowed to touch other people's things, you know!"

Several children nodded in agreement.

After the instructions, the family entered the gate with the staff.

The courtyard faces south from the north and has a green brick floor.After entering the gate, there is a screen wall. Maybe it is too old. You can still vaguely see the shadow of the landscape painting on it, but it is also covered by the big word "Fu".

There is a moon gate on the west side of the screen wall. After entering, you will enter the courtyard. On the south side of the courtyard, next to the courtyard gate is a row of houses called reverse houses, which were used for servants to live in the old days.

There are two wing rooms in the east and west parts of the yard, which have now been converted into kitchens and toilets.

On the north side of the yard is a wall that separates the front and back yards. In the middle of the wall is a hanging flower door leading to the second yard.

In the old days, the second entrance to the courtyard was the main courtyard where the owner lived.

The yard is about as big as a basketball court and very spacious.

On the north side is a tall and spacious main room with five rooms, and three wing rooms in the east and west. The rooms are independent but connected by long verandas, making it easy to go to and from the rooms even on rainy days.

There are trees on both sides of the yard, a pomegranate tree and a persimmon tree.

In the middle of the yard, facing the gate, there is a large water tank. Maybe because it has been left unattended for a long time, there is only a little rainwater in it.

There is a pool in the southwest corner of the yard, connected to tap water.

In the northwest corner of the yard is another hanging flower door, which leads to the backyard.

The entire courtyard is spacious, spacious, and highly private. When the courtyard door is closed, it becomes a world of its own.

Seeing that his wife's eyes were full of love for this courtyard, Lu Aiguo asked Professor Jin.

"Excuse me, Professor Jin, how much is the monthly rent for your yard?"

Professor Jin said calmly: "It's 20 yuan a month. Pay a two-month deposit first. Pay the rent before the 15th of each month. You can't default. If you default for more than two months, you will move out."

Upon hearing this, the staff who came with them were very surprised.

He brought several houses over to view the house, and some of them didn't even let them in. The better ones walked in and took one look at Professor Jin before issuing an eviction order. This was the first time that the price could be negotiated.

“20 yuan is really not expensive. Although it’s a bit higher than other places, it’s definitely worth it for this yard!”

The staff explained on the sidelines.

Song Xiuxiu also understood that considering this courtyard, 20 yuan a month was really not expensive.

"Professor Jin, let me ask you whether you rent all the three courtyards to us, or rent part of them!"

I heard from the staff before that Professor Jin himself lived here, so Song Xiuxiu had to ask if he wanted to live together.

Professor Jin raised his finger and pointed at the hanging flower door in the northwest corner, and then said: "I live in the backyard and only rent out the two front yards. There is a back door in my yard. If you move in, I usually use the back door. We don't know each other. disturb."

Upon hearing this, the staff's eyes widened in shock, this is it!

Song Xiuxiu: "Then when can we move here?"

Professor Jin: "Just sign the contract."

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff member immediately said: "I brought the contract, just sign it now."

After saying that, he took out a few contracts from the briefcase he carried with him.

The rental contract is drawn up in advance by the housing management office, but the address and rent are left blank and filled in according to the specific situation.

Professor Jin invited the group into the room.

Lu Aiguo and Professor Jin sat at the table and read the contract, while Song Xiuxiu wandered around the rooms.

Apart from an Eight Immortals table and a few chairs, there was nothing else in the main room, making it look empty.

The main room is connected to the houses on both sides of it, while the easternmost and westernmost rooms are independent.

At this time, Song Xiuxiu was already secretly thinking about what furniture to add and how to arrange the room.

She planned to live with Lu Aiguo in the room on the east side of the main house, while the room on the west side would be used as a study.

Let Zhao Xuewen and his two younger brothers live in the easternmost room, while Yaya and Miaomiao live in the westernmost room.

As for the east and west wing rooms, they can be left empty for now, and when Sanhong and Sihong come back, they can live there.

The contract is signed for three years first. After three years, it will be decided whether to renew the lease depending on the situation.

Fortunately, Song Xiuxiu had 100 yuan in cash and counted out 60 yuan and gave it to Professor Jin.

Seeing that the matters on both sides had been completed, the staff of the housing management office planned to go back.

When Lu Aiguo sent her out, he said, "Comrade, I still have something to trouble you with."

"what is the matter!"

"Please help us pay attention to whether there is a similar yard for sale. If there is, I would like to buy it."

"OK, no problem."

"There's no rush about this. Please help me find it slowly. If you have any, please contact me!"

"Ok!"

Regarding the house, Lu Aiguo and Song Xiuxiu had discussed before that they would first find a house to live in, and then slowly search for it. After their jobs stabilized, they would buy a yard.

Today, Lu Aiguo saw that his wife liked this old-fashioned courtyard house so much, and he became interested.

If you want to buy this kind of yard, now is the best time, otherwise when the price becomes sky-high in the future, you won't be able to afford it.
