2206 Landlady
2206 landlady
Early the next morning.
Li He opened his eyes and woke up, and saw that the time was less than 6 o'clock.
He washed his face, brushed his teeth, got dressed and went out.
At this time, he used to rush to work for breakfast. He was always in a hurry on weekdays, causing many scenery worth admiring to be missed.
In fact, the scenery in this area of farmers' houses in the north of the city is quite charming.
The road is straight and the ground is clean, but because maple trees are planted on both sides, fiery red maple leaves will fall into the flower beds at the bottom of the trees from time to time, or float to the sidewalk.
It gave the sanitation master a headache, but it captivated Li He's eyes.
On both sides of the alley, some flexible stalls have been put out, and in this early morning, white smoke is floating in the air.
The pancake cart that had just come out of the stall had half a basket of shredded radish pancakes priced at 1 yuan in the blink of an eye, and was sold out by the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Not far away, there is a diligent breakfast shop. The shop that claims to be "authentic" Henan beef spicy soup has opened its rolling shutters.
There are only a few plastic benches in the store, with black stains showing through the gaps, and people are always sitting on them.
Bowls of hot and spicy soup are poured out one after another and carried away. People who take the hot and spicy soup often can't find a place to sit, so they just eat while walking. Some people don't even use a spoon, sucking in big mouths and making loud noises.
sound.
Li He made a special trip to the breakfast shop next to his home.
It doesn't refer to a certain breakfast shop next to his house, but to the breakfast shop named "Next to Home" on the roadside.
To be honest, the price/performance ratio of that breakfast shop is not very high, resulting in relatively few people consuming it.
Most people who get up so early to catch the bus are forced by life.
Because poverty can make most people diligent.
The food at "Homeside" is as flashy as the decoration in their store.
The walls should be dug into various fancy shapes.
Full of decorative lights that will never be turned on.
Poached eggs should be fried into various fancy shapes.
Sprinkle with pieces of the petals that must be discarded.
The reason why Li He came to this homemade shop was because the only thing he liked was their special soy milk.
Grind it as it is, add milk and water and slowly prepare it. It has a light sweetness and a light bean flavor and milky aroma. It tastes soft and not greasy when you drink it.
His favorite thing is to take this cup of extremely delicious soy milk and go to the bun shop behind the bus stop to buy two meat buns to eat.
Sometimes I buy three.
Such as today.
Had a wonderful breakfast.
Li He went to the hospital to see his mother as usual.
With the help of the nurse, I helped my mother clean up. The whole morning passed like water.
After coming out of the hospital, I contacted Lin Kai and learned that Ye An was still asleep. They continued to move around freely and waited until he woke up.
So I went home directly and prepared to calm down and clean the rental house.
It's really an unbelievable mess.
If you don't clean it up, your mood will get worse.
When I arrived at the door, I found an aunt standing at the door, wandering back and forth hesitantly.
Li He stepped forward and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The aunt turned around, and he felt that she looked familiar.
When the aunt saw him, she was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "Ah, are you at home? I just knocked on the door and no one answered. I thought you all went to work on Tuesday, and I was hesitating whether to call or not, because I was afraid of disturbing your work."
Li He finally remembered that the person in front of him was the landlady Wang Liqin. Since he had always dealt with the landlady directly in the past, except for the initial house viewing and a few limited meetings, he rarely had contact with her, so he didn't recognize her for a moment.
"What's wrong, Aunt Wang? What do you want from me?" Li He took out the key and opened the door: "I think I paid the rent last week, right?"
"Oh, I won't go in." Wang Liqin looked through the door and saw the mess on the bedroom floor at a glance. She was a little dazed. Then she saw Li He inviting her in and quickly waved her hand and said: "It's not about the rent...
Well..."
Seeing her very embarrassed look, Li He asked in confusion: "What on earth is going on?"
Wang Liqin looked up at him, then looked at the room behind him, gritted her teeth and said, "That's it...Actually, I also find it difficult for you to do this...But, I'm really sorry, this house...
I don’t plan to continue renting, you see?
..Do you want to find another place? Of course, you can move after you find it. I won't rush you. You can look for it slowly. The rent during this period will not be counted. I will refund the deposit, so don't say anything.
I broke the contract or something, I really had no choice..."
"No more renting?" Li He asked strangely: "Why not? No, logically, the landlord should come to talk to me about this matter? There is no other meaning. I mean, Aunt Wang, can you
Call the shots?"
Wang Liqin's eyes dimmed and she said calmly: "I can make the decision... He, he can't come."
Li He's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong? What happened to the landlord?"
A slight glimmer of water appeared in Wang Liqin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She sniffed, turned around and went down the stairs: "Oh, don't ask so many questions. I am his wife. Can I not make the decision? I'm leaving."
You take your time looking for a house, don't be in a hurry, and tell me when you find it."
Li He chased out and asked: "Aunt Wang! Don't leave yet! Tell me, what happened? I won't move unless you tell me clearly!"
"Oh, why are you so stubborn?" Wang Liqin stood at the top of the stairs, frowning displeased.
Li He looked at the entire corridor and said with some emotion: "I have lived here for so many years. I am familiar with the neighborhood, used to the routes, and have a lot of affection for this place. It is difficult for me to accept that I was asked to move for no reason."
He looked at Wang Liqin and said, "Do you think the rent is too low? I agree to increase the rent! I think two thousand is no problem! Three thousand is fine!"
"You..." Wang Liqin was stunned.
She has rented a house with her husband for many years and has never seen a tenant proactively ask for a rent increase.
When Li He was alone, he always thought about moving.
But when I was about to leave, I found that there was reluctance everywhere.
Those accustomed colors, accustomed corners, accustomed lights.
It has become tightly integrated with my own life.
Hard to let go.
And he wanted to persist and inquire about the landlord's situation.
He still remembers his guess and what happened in the mission world. If it is true as he guessed, the landlord may have met with misfortune at this time.
But he couldn't ask directly.
How to ask?
Should we say "Is the landlord dead?"
So he could only find ways to make insinuations and hope that Wang Liqin would explain the situation herself.
For this reason, he even took the initiative to ask for a rent increase.
Wang Liqin stayed for a long time. Finally, under Li He's gaze, she sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "That guy from my house is gone..."
When Li He heard the beginning, his head exploded with a bang.
really!
Indeed it is!
landlord.
The landlord is really dead!
Die on his behalf..
Die for him Li He!!
"How could this happen..." Only he himself knew what he was asking in this sentence.
Wang Liqin thought he was asking about the cause of death, so she choked and said: "The old guy has always had high blood pressure. The doctor has long told him to quit smoking and drinking, but he just didn't listen. No, he fell asleep at night and suddenly fell ill."
