Chapter 23 Urban Village (2)
Wei Dong laughed proudly and pulled Li Tianchou to sit on the steps in the yard to smoke. Not long after, there was footsteps outside the door opening. From far to near, Wei Dong looked back and said, "Oh, Wang Po, you're here to wait."
An old woman with heavy makeup appeared at the entrance of the door. The old lady was not tall and looked quite rich, but she was too thick in makeup, especially the two circles of thick and black eye shadows, which reminded Li Tianchou of the owls in her hometown.
"Ah, you scared me to death! You little bastard, why are you doing such a loud voice? Why are you running back again?" The old lady covered her chest with an exaggerated expression.
"Hehe, I miss you now. I'm so impressed. So I come and pay my respects." Wei Dong smiled and said slick, and was obviously very familiar with the old lady.
"I'm using honey on my mouth? I miss me, too, I'm so sorry. I've moved out and never came back to see me once a year. I'm thinking about me this time? Do you have no place to go? Tell me if you have something to say, and let go if you have farts." The old lady didn't even please Wei Dong.
"Looking at what you said, am I such a person? But there is indeed something wrong, are there any available rooms? Oh, I forgot to introduce this. This is my brother Li Tianchou. This is the old lady of the landlord here. We all call her Wang Po." Wei Dong said a little confusedly.
Wang Po nodded symbolically at Li Tianchou, then looked at Wei Dong with his eyes slanted, "If you rent it, there is really no house. If someone else rents it, it's another thing to say."
"Oh, Cao. I said Wang Po, I'm not favored by you? To tell you the truth, it's not me who rented it. I saw that it was my brothers who rented it. I'm introducing the business and I don't know the good people's hearts." Wei Dong shouted, with dissatisfaction on his face.
"This young man, do you want to rent a house?" Wang Po ignored Wei Dong and asked Li Tianchou directly.
"Yes, aunt, I wonder if there are any available rooms?"
"Don't call me aunt, just call me Wang Po. It's a coincidence that there is an empty room on the second floor. If you are sincere, I'll take you up and have a look." Wang Po was very happy.
"Wait, Wang Po doesn't look at monks and Buddha's faces. Just because I introduce the business to you, I will first implement the rent and try to be cheaper." Wei Dong interrupted hurriedly.
Wang Po glared at Weidong, continued to ignore him, turned to Li Tianchou and said, "Look at the house first. If you are satisfied, then talk about the rent, otherwise it will be nonsense."
"Okay, I'll trouble you." Li Tianchou had no objection.
Wang Po turned his head and led the way. The three of them climbed the steep wooden stairs to the second floor. A narrow corridor upstairs was connected to eight rooms. Each door was very close to each other. It can be seen that the room was very small and should have been separated again.
The landlord used the key to open a door on the right side of the stairs, which was a stretched bed, a small wooden table, and a chair. Behind the door was a simple clothes hanger made of canvas. A few things filled the hut, and the three of them stood inside and couldn't turn around.
"How is it? With this condition, it's already very good in this area, young man." Wang Po was very confident.
"It's not bad, let's talk about rent, Wang Po." The conditions were much better than expected, and the cleaning was clean. Li Tianchou was quite satisfied, so he stopped talking.
"Well, the young man is very happy. I won't lose money to you, Wang Po, you won't be able to pay 90 yuan a month. If you don't bargain, you will calculate the water and electricity separately."
"Oh, my wife, my dear grandma. Didn't you just say it? Give some face and be cheaper, okay?" Wei Dong shouted from the side.
"Ye, little bastard, don't be rude. Go and ask, what is the monthly rent for a house like me, and you can't even talk about it if you lose 120 yuan. Why do you think of your face? I saw that this young man was good, so I gave such a low price. You are still here, are you renting a house or he renting a house?" Wang Po's eyebrows stood up, and his heavy eyeshadow almost turned into a semicircle.
"90 is 90, please ask, how many months does the rent pay?" Li Tianchou stopped Wei Dong, who was still about to speak.
"Don't pay once every three months. If it's pay once every month, you have to add another month's deposit."
"Okay, then I'll pay for three months first. It may take a few days to come here." Li Tianchou paid without hesitation.
Wang Po took the money with a smile and said, "Young man is just happy. It doesn't matter. Calculate it on the day you moved in. Remind that this small building is pure wood and you are afraid of fire, so don't cook inside. Also, there is no toilet in the house, so you have to go outside. Tap and boiling water are all public, just downstairs, and nothing else is left." After saying that, Wang Po handed Li Tianchou a brass key.
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to give me a copy of your ID card when you come next time. It's strictly forgot to remind me now." Wang Po did not forget to remind him when she went downstairs.
On the way back, Wei Dong kept complaining that Li Tianchou was too hasty, otherwise he could still quarrel. Li Tianchou smiled faintly, "A house like this is worth the price."
Li Tianchou did not break his promise. Sure enough, he invited Weidong to have a big meal in the evening. He left a large food stall at the intersection of Chengzhong Village. He had fat intestines, pork head meat, mushroom fried pork slices, and rice. The dishes tasted very good and were cheap enough.
Wei Dong touched his belly with satisfaction and burped from time to time. He was embarrassed to tell Li Tianchou that this was the only meal that he had eaten with plenty of oil and water in the past few days.
Li Tianchou was about to settle the bill and leave. A bearded man on the table next to him kept drinking, but suddenly stood up and escaped from the gear at a speed of sprinting a hundred meters. He was extremely fast and there was no sign in advance.
"Stop, a numb bastard!" The owner of the shop immediately shouted loudly. The little boss jumped out of the back hall after hearing the sound, holding a kitchen knife in his hand and chasing him out, but not long after, he returned dejectedly.
"Didn't catch it? Run away?" The boss lady stared at her man with an angry look on her face.
"I ran away, faster than a rabbit. It's this bastard again. I'll give him a discount next time I see him." The boss gritted his teeth.
Wei Dong shrugged a little awkwardly, "I'm having a bastard meal, but the security here is generally good."
Li Tianchou smiled and didn't mind.
After coming out of the food stall, the two pushed their bicycles and took a few steps, a sweet voice came from the side of the road, "Are you two brothers, do you want to play?" Looking in the line, a woman dressed in charmingly and couldn't tell the age of the woman was posing hard at the two of them. Li Tianchou was stunned and looked around. There was no one except Wei Dong, and then his face became a little hot. He had seen reports that this woman seemed to be a street girl who was catching guests on the street.
Wei Dong is not as muscular as Li Tianchou. He has obviously seen the scene. He also said in a coquettish voice: "How much does it cost to play with sister?"
"Yeah, my brother is still a chewy guy. Fast food is forty at a time. If two brothers come together, I will give it a discount here."
"Brother, I... um..." Before Wei Dong could finish his coquettishness, Li Tianchou hugged his neck and pulled it away, dragging it far away. The woman's giggle came from behind.
"I'm telling me if you are? You've strangled me to death." After finally breaking free from Li Tianchou's arm, Wei Dong started to complain.
"Next time, you can play with yourself, don't take me with you." Li Tianchou jumped on the bicycle in anger.
"Is the village in the city fun? Haha, this is paradise, my paradise. Haha... My enthusiasm is like a fire burning the entire desert..." Wei Dong followed closely behind, chasing Li Tianchou's joke. (To be continued)
