Chapter 290 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (5)
Xu Youwei saw that Gu Yanxi didn't say anything, and was about to explain a few words, but before she opened her mouth, he spoke first: "Granny Yu, her name is Xu Youwei, she is a freshman at S University this year, and she wanted to come here early to familiarize herself with the environment.
But I didn't expect that the dormitory of S University was not open in advance today, so I have no place to live. I remember that you seemed to have posted an advertisement for renting out the house some time ago. Have you found a tenant now?"
When Granny Yu heard this, she looked at Xu Youwei with some curiosity: "Is this little girl a college student?"
There were universities in her time, but many of them were "workers, peasants and soldiers" universities, and they were often recommended by the village or factory, and they were relatively old.
In addition, there are no children in Yu's mother-in-law's family, so she is somewhat out of touch with society.
She doesn't know much about the current educational situation, so she is a little skeptical.
"Yes, mother-in-law, I passed the exam this year." Xu Youwei said as she took out the admission letter to prove her identity.
Grandma Yu smiled and said, "No need, girl, I believe you. My house was originally for my husband and me and our son to live together.
It’s just that he’s been away all year and there’s no news from him, so we want the house to be empty anyway. If you don’t mind, you can live here first.
I think you are quite attractive to me, and you are also well-educated. I will charge you 150 yuan a month for rent, and 50 yuan for water and electricity, a total of 200 yuan. Is that okay with you?"
Only two hundred?
Xu Youwei is at an age where she can't hide her thoughts anymore, and when she heard the price, she was delighted.
"It's not a very big room." Grandma Yu explained, "It's just one room. It used to be a storage room."
When Xu Youwei heard the word "storage room", she felt a little bitter and asked cautiously, "Does that room have windows?"
She was afraid that there was no window, as it would make her feel as if she were back in that dark and depressing little room.
She was even more afraid that a room with windows would exceed her "budget".
"Yes!" Although Grandma Yu was a little puzzled, she still explained, "The place under our feet used to be a river, and this foundation was filled in from the river. Although the river is gone now, the moisture is still quite high.
Without windows, the house is likely to be filled with musty smells during the summer rainy season, so ventilation is very important.”
After hearing this, Xu Youwei felt a lot more at ease, and then followed Grandma Yu to see the room.
Grandma Yu brought Xu Youwei to a small bungalow.
The outside of the house looked a bit old, with vines all over the walls.
When I opened the door, the house looked rather simple, but still tidy.
The room was not big, with only a bed, a table and a chair. There was not even a wardrobe, but there was a large wooden box next to it.
"This is a camphorwood box. It won't smell moldy if you put clothes in it." Grandma Yu introduced, "I have a wardrobe here, so several people came to see it but didn't rent it."
Then she looked at the luggage in Gu Yanxi's hand. Grandma Yu could conclude that the little girl probably didn't have many clothes and it was unlikely that she needed a wardrobe.
"It's just that there's no wardrobe." No one expected that Xu You didn't say anything, but Gu Yanxi said it, "If there's only one box, it's still a little inconvenient even though it's enough to put everything in."
Granny Yu looked at Gu Yanxi with some “unhappiness” and said, “Little Gu! Do you also want to dislike this place of mine?”
"No!" Gu Yanxi waved her hands quickly, "I just think that little girls still need a place to hang their clothes."
Then he turned to Xu Youwei and said, "I have an unused simple wardrobe over there. It's not very big and will fit right here. I'll bring it over to you in a minute."
After listening to what Gu Yanxi said, Grandma Yu could basically guess what this young man was thinking.
At this time, Xu Youwei was not thinking about the wardrobe. She was looking at the window in the room.
Although the window is small, the sunlight shines through it onto the ground, bringing a touch of brightness to the entire room.
In addition, there is a storage rack next to the wall. Although there is some dust on it, it looks like it should still be very useful.
Although the conditions here are average, Xu Youwei feels satisfied because at least she has her own space here.
She decided to settle down as soon as possible and start a new life.
"Mother-in-law, I like her very much." Xu Youwei said to her mother-in-law, "Can I pay one month's rent and utilities first? As for the deposit!"
"No need for a deposit. You were brought here by Xiao Gu, and you're a college student. I trust you." Grandma Yu was very straightforward and enthusiastic.
Xu Youwei was deeply touched by Grandma Yu's enthusiasm and quickly expressed her gratitude.
Gu Yanxi was very satisfied with the result, and then he said, "You sort it out first, I'll go get you the simple wardrobe."
After saying that, he walked out the door.
He moved so quickly that he didn't hear Xu Youwei's words to stop him.
"Let him go!" said Grandma Yu disapprovingly, "He lives across the street, it's very convenient!"
Huh? Xu Youwei was even more surprised. She and Gu Yanxi actually became neighbors.
