Chapter 44: Is this house for rent?
As expected, Liu Meng pretended to be calm and walked forward, handing over the note: "This is from Zhang so-and-so, he wants to make friends with you."
Tao Bao couldn't help but laugh inwardly and didn't take the note, just smiling and saying: "Be friends? No problem, it's just that once we're in high school, studying will be very busy, and he's not at Number One Middle School, so I'm afraid there won't be opportunities to meet."
Liu Meng awkwardly withdrew his hand and, after a while, mustered up the courage to ask Tao Bao: "Then can you leave me your phone number? Can I call you in the future?"
"Of course!" Taobao couldn't help but laugh, Liu Meng was also a shy and lovely boy.
As Liu Meng waved goodbye, Tao Baobao left and still heard Zhang Moumou's complaints from the class: "Who has a brother like you? The love letter wasn't sent out, but you went up to get close to her yourself!"
……
The next day, Tao Baobao told his parents and left with his luggage to attend the so-called 'English Summer Camp'.
A hutong in the suburbs of Beicheng District, with a poor environment. There is a vegetable market here and many small restaurants nearby.
At noon, Tao Baobao ate a bowl of noodles in a ramen shop in the alley and then walked into a courtyard next to a tobacco stall.
There were about four or five families living in the courtyard.
At this time, a middle-aged woman pushing a bicycle walked past Tao Baobao's eyes and pushed the car into the yard. Although she had seen Mrs. Wang on TV once, she couldn't remember what she looked like, but the person just now was very familiar.
Tao Bao hesitated for a moment before quickly following into the courtyard.
"Excuse me," Tao Baobao said, looking at Wang's back, "Are you Auntie Wang?"
Ms. Wang had just locked her car and opened the door when she heard someone calling her. She looked back, glanced up and down at Tao Baobao and said, "Who are you?"
"I'm here to rent a house, I heard you're renting one out, so I came to ask about it." Tao Baobao said with a stroke of luck.
Mrs. Wang was taken aback, walked into the house, and threw the key chain onto the windowsill: "No, who told you that?"
Taobao exclaimed and took advantage of her opening the door to quickly scan the interior, the floor was spotless with no signs of digging.
"That might be a mistake on my part, sorry about that. Uh, may I ask impolitely, are you planning to rent out this house? The price is negotiable."
Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "You girl, I live well with my lover, why rent a house? Go ask others, we don't rent."
"Alas, it's not that easy." Tao Baobao said unwillingly: "I'm also in a hurry to move in, so every month I'll give you two thousand yuan as rent, will you accept?" You know, the houses around here can only be rented for six or seven hundred. Two thousand is almost equal to someone else's monthly salary.
Mrs. Wang was stunned: "That's not for rent either, it's been rented out. Where are the two of us going to sleep?"
Tao Bao didn't dare to bid too high again, otherwise the other party would definitely notice something was wrong. If she were to think of something and dig up the floor in the house ahead of time, then Tao Bao would be out of luck.
"I particularly like the geographical location, orientation and layout of your house. To be honest with you, I only want to rent it for a month to entertain a friend from out of town who doesn't like hotels and wants to experience our local courtyard houses. After a month, my friend and I will move out immediately, no questions asked. What do you think?" Tao Baobao's ability to talk nonsense was getting more and more impressive, even she herself was sweating.
"Don't blame me, everyone is here to get rich anyway." Taobao thought to herself in self-consolation.
