Reborn as a rich woman: rich and leisurely

Chapter 157 Cheap accommodation



The ice cream seller asked cheerfully: "I see you are here to study in college, right?"

Lin Yun said proudly: "Yes, my sister is going to school here."

The ice cream seller said, "Well, you are here early. There are still several days before school starts."

"Also, you guys have a lot of things to bring. The school dormitory is only so big, and each person only has half a bed. I'm afraid you guys won't be able to put these things in."

Lin Jing looked at Lin Yun, and Lin Yun looked at Lin Jing. He was holding the kimchi jar and the net bag containing the chicken in his hand. The chicken was still alive with difficulty.

A polite but awkward smile.

A few people chatted for a while, and the ice cream seller continued: "You two are really early. Even if you sign up in advance, you can only register three days in advance. You have to find a place to stay by yourself during the rest of the time."

"You two look like brother and sister, right?"

The two nodded honestly.

The ice cream seller said regretfully: "It's not cost-effective to stay in a guest house and have to rent two rooms. When the school officially opens, it will cost at least several hundred yuan."

Lin Yun thought about it. He came so early and said he wanted to find a house, but if he couldn't find a house, he had to live in a guest house. Wouldn't it cost money?

Lin Jing guessed something from the expression on the ice cream seller's face and asked, "Uncle, do you have any good suggestions?"

The old man selling ice cream said: "My house is nearby. Everyone who sets up a stall here all the year round calls me Uncle Yichen Song. If you can trust me, I can rent you the second floor of my house for half a month. I don't need more than two rooms. Total." How about fifty bucks?”

It is indeed much cheaper than staying in a guest house.

A room in the hostel costs fifteen yuan a day, and two rooms cost thirty yuan. If it is cheaper, staying in a multi-person room costs eight yuan a bed, which costs at least sixteen yuan a day. After all, it is the beginning of the school year, and it is next to the school. It is impossible to reduce the price of a guest house.

Seeing the brother and sister's hesitation, Uncle Song looked at the lifeless chicken in their hands and said, "You can still keep this chicken in my yard. If you live in a guest house, you will definitely not survive today."

So, for the chickens that the brother and sister had worked so hard to bring, they lived in Uncle Song's house.

Uncle Song's home is very close to Mingda, only a hundred meters away, and the conditions are hard to describe.

It's a yard. I occupied a larger open space in the courtyard and built a wall to squeeze it into a palm-sized yard. Once the chickens were let out, the yard felt crowded.

It was said to be on the second floor, but at first glance, there were two rooms built illegally on the first floor. There was only one empty room, but there was room to put a lot of things they brought.

There is no air conditioning, TV, or Simmons, just an incandescent lamp, a ceiling fan, and a mat on a wooden board.

Lin Jing's first instinct was to run. She really didn't want to accept such difficult conditions.

Lin Yun thought it was nothing. After all, it was cheap. Even if they stayed for less than half a month and ten days, it would only cost five yuan a day for two people on average, and they didn't have to worry about things being stolen.

He heard someone say on the train that it was very chaotic outside, and many people bullied people from other places and stole things from guest houses.

Especially when school is about to start every year, train tickets are hard to buy and many parents send their children to school early. These people are most likely to be targeted.

Uncle Song naturally saw Lin Jing's dissatisfaction, and his enthusiasm continued, "Classmate, don't look at me, I'm missing something."

Lin Jing...is it a little missing? Is there nothing?

"But my place is clean and tidy. Look at my mats, which were washed and dried by the old woman at home. They are much more hygienic than that of the guest house."

"If you want to wash your face and hands, there is running water downstairs. You can also use the basin at home. It's really no worse than a guest house."

Clean is indeed clean.

The walls of the house may not necessarily be clean. The large white walls painted by the Song family have some traces of time, but there are no traces of spider webs. The bed and floor are also clean, without a trace of dust.

Thinking about Simmons in the guest house, many people have slept there, and the sheets may not be cleaned in time, so it is not as clean as here, so Lin Jing accepted it.

If she was asked to carry so many things on her back to find a place to live from house to house on a hot day, she really didn't want to move.

The business was settled, Uncle Song was very happy, and the listless chicken became energetic.

It was already getting late, so Lin Jing spent another two yuan to have dinner at Song's house.

Uncle Song sells ice cream at a stall outside, while Aunt Song mainly picks up rags. Logically speaking, their living conditions should not be bad, but they have two children.

The daughter married out of town and came back only a few times throughout the year, while the son went abroad.

"Things abroad are expensive, a cup of water costs several cents. My child is sensible and studies while working, so we don't have to worry about it, but we parents have to save some money for him to find a wife, right?" said Uncle Song. My son, who started studying abroad, looked proud.

If you can go abroad, your ancestral graves will be smoking. If you can go abroad at public expense, your ancestral graves will be smoking.

"This is just a year of hard work. When he comes back after graduation and finds a good job, we will be able to enjoy a happy life." Aunt Song narrowed her eyes when she talked about her son.

Uncle Song looked like he couldn't see his mother-in-law being proud, "When he comes back, he will get married and take a wife. Then you will have to take care of their children. How can you enjoy such happiness?"

The couple just bickered, and Lin Jing and Lin Yun quietly acted as qualified listeners.

Even the trivial things sound full of warmth.

In this way, Lin Jing knew that there were more than a dozen families living in this large courtyard. Some families' children had a new partner, some families' daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and some families made stir-fried pork belly today and the aroma could be smelled all over the yard. Whose child failed the exam and was called as a parent...

Nowadays, there are quite a lot of illegal buildings in large courtyards. If there are too many people in the family, there is not enough room for them, so they can only find ways to expand. Some people expand horizontally to occupy the road, and some people expand vertically to increase the height. It is a good idea. A large courtyard is like a hodgepodge.

When eating, the smells of cooking from various families were strung together, and Lin Jing felt that she was some kind of ingredient in the hodgepodge.

The first floor of Uncle Song's house is almost fifty square meters, which is considered a large house in this large courtyard.

There are two bedrooms and a foyer on the first floor. The kitchen is together with the foyer. When eating, the folding table is spread out to form the dining room.

The upstairs area is almost 40 square meters, and the two rooms are more than 10 square meters each. It used to be for my son and daughter, but is now vacant and rented out from time to time.

The old couple has pensions and can make money by setting up a stall. Their daughter will send money from time to time. They are really not short of money, but they are used to living a hard life and are reluctant to spend lavishly and want to save more money.

Even if the young people hear and believe the bitterness of the older generation, they still cannot feel it.
