No. 2, 4 and 6 of Narcissus Street are townhouses, with polygonal four-slope roofs, with an overall appearance of gray and blue, and three chimneys stand out.
Of course there is no lawn or garden, nor porch, and the entrance faces the street directly.
Scarter, of Tingen City Housing Improvement Company, took a string of copper keys and introduced as he opened the door:
Our townhouses have no foyer, and the living room is just entering. There is a convex belly window facing Daffodil Street, which has a very good lighting...
Crane, Benson and Melissa's eyes were a set of cloth sofas bathed in golden sunshine and a spacious space comparable to their previous two-bedroom apartment.
This living room can also be used as a living room. On the right side is the dining room and on the left wall is a large fireplace for you to keep warm in winter.Scarter pointed familiarly.
Klein glanced and confirmed that it was a rough open-plan layout, with the dining room and living room without any partition, but it was far away from the convex belly window, which looked quite dull.
There is a small red rectangular wooden table surrounded by six upholstered hardwood backrest chairs, and the fireplace on the left wall is the same as the foreign movies and TV series Klein has seen in the past.
The kitchen is behind the dining room, but we do not provide any utensils. Opposite the living room is a small guest room and a bathroom... Scarter took a step forward and introduced the rest of the layout on the first floor in detail.
The bathroom is divided into two rooms inside and outside. On the outside is a washing place, inside is a toilet, separated by a folding door. The guest room is said to be very small, but it is also as big as the compartment where Melissa currently lives, which makes her a little stunned.
After seeing the first floor, Scarter led the brother and sister to the stairs next to the bathroom:
Going down is an underground storage room, the air inside is very dull, remember to ventilate before entering each time.
Benson nodded quietly and followed Scarter along the steps to the second floor.
On my left side is a bathroom, and there are two bedrooms on the same side as it. On my right side, there is the same layout, but the bathroom is close to the small balcony.
While speaking, Scarter opened the bathroom door and turned his body sideways so that Crane, Benson and Melissa could look at it without any obstacles.
This bathroom has more bathtubs than the first floor, and there is also a folding door next to the toilet. Although there is some dust, there is no other dirty place, it is neither stench nor crowded.
Melissa stared at this place in a daze, until Scarter walked towards the bedroom next to her, then she kept her eyes closed and followed slowly.
After walking a few steps, she looked back.
Klein, who has seen the world, is also very happy and looking forward to this, because even if the landlord often supervises everyone to clean it, the public bathroom is still not clean enough, which often makes people feel urged to vomit, not to mention that when they are impatient, they are prone to queuing.
The other bathroom is the same as this one. There are only one of the four bedrooms with a slightly larger one, with bookshelf, and the rest are about the same area, with a bed, a table, and a wardrobe.
The balcony is very small and you can't dry too much clothing every time.Scarter stood at the end of the corridor, pointing to the path separated by doors and locks. There are also complete sewers, gas pipelines and billing machines, which are perfect for gentlemen and ladies like you. They only need 13 sulle rent and 5pc furniture usage fees per week, and a deposit of four weeks is required.
Before Benson could speak, Klein looked around curiously and said:
If you want to buy it, how much does this house cost?
As a time traveler in a big foodie country, his desire to buy a house and buy a property always exists in his heart.
When Benson and Melissa were both startled and looked at Klein with the look of looking at the monster, Scarter replied firmly:
purchase?No, we will not sell property, we only provide rental vouchers.
I just want to know, do you understand?Learn about it.Klein explained awkwardly.
Scarter hesitated for a few seconds and said:
Last month, the homeowner at No. 11 Narcissus Street happened to sell a similar house, which was 300 pounds in 15 years in the form of a land deed, which is much cheaper than renting directly, but not everyone can afford such a large sum of money at once. If you want to buy it completely, the homeowner's price is 850 pounds.
£850?Klein quickly started mental arithmetic:
My weekly salary is 3 pounds, Benson is 1 pounds and 10 pounds... The rent is 13 pounds, and I eat well every day. I have to spend about 2 pounds a week, as well as the sharing of clothing, transportation costs, interpersonal expenses, etc. I can save at most a dozen pounds a week. A year, about 35 pounds a year, and 850 pounds will take about 20 years... Even if it is just 300 pounds a year, it will take at least 89 years... This does not consider getting married, dividing up, having children, traveling in the future...
In this world without personal housing loans, most people should have to choose to rent a house...
With some clarity, he took a step back, glanced at his brother Benson, and signaled him to negotiate the rent price.
As for Melissa's wishes, just looking at her bright eyes, you can understand!
At this moment, Klein had the illusion of closing the door and letting Benson go.
Benson pointed with his silver-free cane and looked around and said:
We should go and see other houses. The lighting in the restaurant here is too poor and the balcony is very small. Look, only that bedroom has a fireplace, and the furniture is too old. We have to change it to more than half of it when we move in...
He spoke slowly and found a lot of problems, and in ten minutes he successfully persuaded Scarter, asking him to reduce the price to 12 sulle rent, 3 pence for furniture usage, and the deposit was also collected at 2 pounds.
No more wasted time, the three brothers and sisters followed Scarter back to Tingen City Housing Improvement Company, signed a double contract, and went to Tingen City Notary Office to notarize.
After paying the deposit and first week's rent, Klein and Benson's remaining money combined will have £9,2 Suller and 8p.
Standing at the door of No. 2 Narcissus Street, they were holding a string of copper keys, but they couldn't move their eyes for a moment and rolled up all kinds of emotions.
It felt like a dream... After a while, Melissa raised her head and looked at the Moretti's house behind her, and said in a low voice.
Benson gave out and smiled:
Then don't wake up.
Klein was not as touched as they did, and nodded:
We have to replace the locks of the main door and balcony door as soon as possible.
There is no need to worry about this, the reputation of Tingen improvement housing company is very good.What's left is the cost of your formal wear, but before that, we have to go to Mr. Frankie's place.Benson pointed to the direction of the apartment.
…………
When they got home and ate the rye bread, the brother and sister went to the townhouse apartment on the street on Iron Cross Street and knocked on the landlord's door.
You should know my principle and never allow rent arrears!Mr. Franke, the short, sat on the sofa and declared imposingly.
Benson leaned forward and said with a smile:
Mr. Franky, we are here to cancel the lease.
So direct?Is this negotiation really good?Klein was surprised to hear it.
On the way here, Benson said that his bottom line was to compensate 12 Suler.
Refund the lease?No!We have a contract, and there is still half a year left!Franky glared at Benson and waved his arms.
Benson looked at him seriously and said calmly after he calmed down:
Mr. Franky, you should be clear that you should make more.
Earn more?Franky touched his thin face and asked back with interest.
Benson sat upright and explained with a smile:
The two-bedroom rental for three of us is 5 sul 6p, but if you rent it to families with five, six, and two or even three working and paying, I think they are certainly willing to pay more for it, rather than going to a place where the security is very poor in the Lower Street, 5 sul 10p, or 6 sul, which I think is a reasonable price.
Seeing Franky's eyes shining and his throat squirmed, he continued:
And, you surely know that rents for homes have been on an upward trend in recent years, and the longer we live, the more you lose.
But... I need time to find new tenants.Mr. Franky, who inherited the estate, was obviously moved.
I believe you will find it soon. You have this ability and resources. Maybe two days, maybe three days... We will compensate you for your losses during this period, just use the deposit we paid, 3 Sule, which is very fair!Benson immediately made a decision.
Franky nodded with satisfaction:
Benson, you are such a conscientious and honest young man, well, we sign the ‘stop contract’.
Klein was stunned by the side, completely understanding Mr. Frank's ease of persuasion.
This is too convincing...
To resolve the problem of the previous contract, the three siblings went to help Klein buy formal clothes and then started to move in a busy manner.
They didn't have any heavy and huge items, and they all belonged to Mr. Landlord, so Benson and Melissa jointly rejected Cline's idea of hiring a carriage, did it themselves, and went back and forth between Daffodil Street and Iron Cross.
The scorching sun sets west outside the window, and the golden smell of burning passes through the convex belly window and sprinkles on the surface of the desk. Klein looked at the neatly arranged books and notes on the shelf, and gently placed the ink and pen on the wiped table.
Finally finished his work... He let out a sigh, felt the gurgle in his stomach, and walked towards the door while lowering his rolled cuffs.
He had a bed that belonged only to him, and the sheets and quilts were white, old but clean.
Klein twisted the handle and walked out of the bedroom. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw the two doors opposite him open, revealing Benson and Melissa's figures.
Looking at the gray dust and dirty stains on each other's faces, Klein and Benson suddenly laughed, laughing extremely happily.
Melissa bit her lip lightly, gradually getting infected by them, and she expressed her smile in a low voice.
…………
Early the next morning.
Klein stood in front of the dressing mirror without cracks, carefully tidying up the collar and cuffs of his shirt.
This included a set of white shirt, black tuxedo, half-height silk top hat, black vest and trousers, leather boots, and bow tie. It cost him a total of 8 pounds, which made him feel extremely distressed.
But the effect is also very good. Klein only felt that his bookish temperament in the mirror was stronger, and he seemed a little handsome.
Click!
He closed his pocket watch, put it in his inner pocket, then took his cane, hid his revolver, and arrived at Zotland Street in a track public carriage.
When he was about to enter Black Thorn Security Company, he realized that he had been used to his previous lifestyle. He didn't give Melissa any extra money this morning and allowed her to continue walking to school.
Shaking his head and recording the matter, Klein stepped into the Black Thorn Security Company and saw the brown-haired girl Rosan making coffee there, making the fragrance full of fragrance.
The hem of the short skirt was slightly raised and rolled up, revealing a piece of fair thigh skin between the black cotton socks and the hem of the skirt.
Good morning, Klein, the weather is nice today.Luo Shan smiled and said, "To be honest, I have always been very strange. In such weather, won’t you men feel hot when wearing formal clothes?"I know that the summer in Tingen cannot be compared with the south, and it is not hot enough, but it still belongs to summer Ah.
This is the price of demeanor.Klein replied humorously, Good morning, Miss Luoshan, where is the captain?
Old place.Luo Shan pointed inside.
Klein nodded invisibly, and through the partition, knocked on the door of Dunn Smith's office.
Come in.Dunn's voice and tone were as quiet and gentle as ever.
Seeing that Klein had indeed changed into a good formal outfit, he nodded slightly, and smiled with a grey eyes:
Have you considered it?
Klein took a deep breath and solemnly replied:
Yes, I've made the choice.
Dunn sat up straight slowly, his expression quickly became serious, and his gray eyes remained unchanged:
Tell me your answer.
Klein answered without hesitation:
Divinationist!
Of course there is no lawn or garden, nor porch, and the entrance faces the street directly.
