"Ms. Yulia, before I look at the room, I want to find out how much the rent is."
Dong Qiangqiang made his worries clear and straightforward: If the rent is too expensive, he will not rent it.
But the old man only smiled slightly in response to his question and did not answer. Then he stood up and walked towards the house, while whispering a noun.
"radar."
Before Dong Qiangqiang could figure out what the old man was talking about, a black shadow rushed over from a distance like an arrow, and arrived in front of several people in the blink of an eye.
Neither Dong Qiangqiang nor Zheng Chunhua reacted. The old man's right hand had already landed on the trouser line of his right leg. The black dog's originally high head immediately dropped, but its tail swayed from side to side like a small flag, and it followed the old man happily. From left to right, they stumbled towards the house, looking back at Dong Qiangqiang and Zheng Chunhua as they walked.
Zheng Chunhua and Dong Qiangqiang looked at each other and had no choice but to follow in.
The interior decoration of the villa is very simple. The walls are off-white with a very light yellow. All furniture and accessories are made of wood and painted with original wood paint. The windows in the house are bright and clean, and it can be seen that the owner is a clean person.
"If you move in, the kitchen and laundry room are shared. The kitchen is on the first floor." The old man explained. "The laundry room is on the underground floor. Although it is underground, it is not damp at all. There is also an independent drying room in the laundry room. You can use a dryer. But when the weather is nice, it’s better to let it air dry naturally, which is more environmentally friendly.”
Although he lived under the same roof with his former landlord for more than a year, he was not a native German. Today was the first time Dong Qiangqiang saw a real German kitchen.
The kitchen area occupies almost half of the area on the first floor, which is 50 square meters if not 60 square meters. When the lights are fully turned on, the room is bright. There is a square bay window above the sink, and you can have a panoramic view of the backyard while washing dishes. In the kitchen, you can only see obvious appliances such as ovens, dishwashers, double-door refrigerators, and high-end coffee machines. As for pots and pans, there are no kitchen utensils. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that those things should be lying around in the kitchen at the moment. Various storage cabinets.
Dong Qiangqiang noticed that although the kitchen was large, it was spotless, with no signs of accumulation of oil smoke or smoky fire. He thought to himself: No wonder the elderly and compatriots who love to cook don't deal with it. People who cherish their own kitchens like this may really not be able to accept the Chinese cooking style. It seems that he will have to be extra careful in the future to avoid exposure to oil fumes as much as possible.
The single room that the old man wants to rent to Dong Qiangqiang is a corner room among the three rooms on the second floor. Although it is not as big as the kitchen, it is almost 30 square meters: a single bed the same size as a double bed, 2 meters long A large desk, a floor-to-ceiling three-door wardrobe, and an ultra-high bookshelf make this room absolutely ready for move-in.
In addition to the guest rooms on the second floor, there is also a very large guest bathroom of more than 20 square meters at the other end of the corridor. Dong Qiangqiang was confused: The bathroom is almost as big as the room. Do you want to do juggling in the bathroom?
"Last time, someone peed all over this place and didn't clean up the bathtub in time after using it. I criticized him but he didn't admit it, and he didn't take it seriously when I asked him to clean it. So I had no choice but to kick him away." Although the old man The tone was calm, but Dong Qiangqiang could imagine her anger at that time, "I hope you are a hygienic person. I will tell you what to pay attention to. I can also accept you making mistakes, but I cannot accept you knowingly making mistakes." The old man emphasized.
While the old man was not paying attention, Dong Qiangqiang quietly asked Zheng Chunhua: "How much did you say the rent here was? 90?"
Zheng Chunhua smiled and said nothing, motioning for him to ask the old man directly.
"Ms. Yulia, I'm very satisfied with your room. Can you tell me the rent now?" The better the room, the more uncomfortable Dong Qiangqiang looked, and decided to go straight to the point and give himself a good time.
"This is a warm rent, every month..." the old man was obviously thinking, "65 euros. But I hope there will be no waste of water and electricity, that is, when you are not in the house, don't turn on the heater and lights. .If you leave the room for more than 1 minute, you should have the habit of turning off the lights."
The price was much cheaper than what Zheng Chunhua said. Dong Qiangqiang glanced at Zheng Chunhua in surprise, and the other party was also looking at him in surprise.
"Are you saying that the warm rent is 65 euros?" Dong Qiangqiang felt unbelievable and unbelievable. Isn't this just pie in the sky? He couldn't help but confirm again, "Then do you charge any other fees?"
"There is no cost," the old man smiled kindly, "but if you can do farm work, such as helping me mow the lawn and yard when you are free, chopping firewood or feeding animals, repairing broken farm tools, etc., I will also I can pay you some fees. Besides, I have a lot of animals here, and I hope you can take care of them and don’t hurt them.”
"I'm very happy." Dong Qiangqiang wanted to laugh while agreeing: now it's better, he even has part-time workers, it couldn't be more perfect. Maybe he can earn pocket money while living for free, but Du Lan and the others will definitely not believe it.
"What about the deposit?" he asked again.
Contrary to Dong Qiangqiang's expectation, the old man thought carefully for a few seconds before answering: "500 euros."
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned when he heard this: "500?"
"Yes, the person who stayed last time destroyed the bathroom, and I hired a housekeeping company to clean it again. If you don't destroy the room, the money will be returned to you when you leave."
When Dong Qiangqiang thought that this was indeed the case, he did not argue anymore and continued to ask: "Can I keep pets in the room?"
"What pet?"
"Parrot. If that doesn't work, I can release it or give it to you."
"You can keep it. But you have to pay attention to keeping the room and corridor clean. Maybe it is more suitable for it outdoors."
"Do you provide parking spaces here? Do I need to pay you monthly rent if I park my car every day?"
"I have two parking spaces. I usually only park my car there, and there is another parking space that is empty. If you use it, tell me your license plate number and you don't have to pay anymore." The old man said with interest. He asked, "Any other questions?"
Dong Qiangqiang wanted to ask all the questions clearly, so as to avoid the trouble of moving in and arguing.
"I see you don't have a router installed here. If I want to install broadband..."
"You can pretend, but if you want to drill a hole in the wall, you must discuss it with me in advance and you can't make the decision without permission. If I find you doing these things privately, I will let you leave."
Dong Qiangqiang nodded in agreement: "Ms. Yulia, you and I live under the same roof. If I don't know what to do, I will ask you first and will not make the decision privately. You can rest assured about this.
"Very good. There are two more points that I hope you can pay attention to." The old man was extremely satisfied with Dong Qiangqiang's attitude. "I like to be quiet when I am older. I know that young people like to have parties, especially since there are many and big houses here. , but I definitely can’t do this here.”
"Understood. I don't have a party. But my girlfriend might come over to see me once in a while."
"Girlfriends are welcome." The old man smiled, "Also, I hate politics, so I don't want to hear any politics-related topics at home. You can have your beliefs, but don't talk about them with me. Neither do I. Will talk to you about me. Remember?"
"You made it very clear."
"With these conditions, if you decide to move in, please let me know at any time. This is the phone number." The old man handed Dong Qiangqiang a piece of paper and pointed at Zheng Chunhua, "Of course you can also contact her, she also knows (phone number Number)."
Dong Qiangqiang pinched the piece of paper, and Du Lan's words rang in his ears: If you want to know more about Germany and integrate into Germany, you should live in a place with many Germans and improve your language skills and social skills in dealing with different people.
"I've decided, I want to move in as soon as possible." Dong Qiangqiang's attitude was very determined, "I can transfer the money to you tomorrow."
"Okay, you come over at 9 o'clock tomorrow, we sign the housing contract, and then I give you the key." The old man smiled and clapped his hands, and suddenly opened his arms and hugged Dong Qiangqiang.
Dong Qiangqiang was caught off guard by the other party's move, and it was inappropriate to refuse, so he could only return a crude hug in a careless manner.
Zheng Chunhua on the side looked dumbfounded.
The old man sent the two people out of the door, then turned and entered the house.
"The house is done, now you are at ease?" Zheng Chunhua put on her helmet with a smirk on her face.
"Well, come here tomorrow to sign the contract and then transfer the money, and then hurry back to Hannover to collect your luggage." Dong Qiangqiang also put on his helmet, "Next week is the German National Day. After the National Day, I should study hard."
"You're really lucky this time." Zheng Chunhua teased in an exaggerated tone, "She definitely gave you a discount just now. In my opinion, it's still a fracture."
"I don't know what's going on, but her rent is indeed the cheapest I've ever heard of." He said as he sat on the back seat of his motorcycle, "Although economics says 'there is no such thing as a free lunch', But I really can’t care about that much now. No matter what kind of motive she has, I will settle down first and then look for her later.”
Zheng Chunhua started the motorcycle engine: "Did you see the photos hanging on the wall when we were in the kitchen just now?"
"I didn't read it." Dong Qiangqiang asked curiously, "Is there any problem?"
"You look very similar to the person in the photo. I mean, the eyebrows are very similar." Zheng Chunhua gestured with her hand in front of the helmet visor, "Maybe she feels the same way."
"I don't know, it doesn't matter." Dong Qiangqiang let out a long breath, "In short, I don't have to worry about finding a house anymore. I really want to thank you this time. You helped me a lot, thank you."
Zheng Chunhua smiled and said: "Then the errand of the Propaganda Minister will be left to you, classmate Dong Qiangqiang."
"I hope I won't disappoint you."
"Where to now?" The roar of the engine grew louder and louder.
"Go to your favorite restaurant and have a good meal." Dong Qiangqiang waved his hand, "I'll treat you."
The red taillight of the motorcycle drew a coquettish arc in the night. Looking at the fields on both sides of the road, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but think to himself: "Do I really look like someone?"
