Chapter 0010 Rent

At noon, in dormitory 412, the four roommates were packing their own things. Except for Zhang Zhenyu, Pang Jie and the other three were talking about the morning's estimation.

According to the morning's estimation, they all performed normally. Pang Jie estimated that his score was around 660, and with the 10-point minority bonus points, he should have a score of over 670.

The estimated scores of Wen Zhou and Feng Xiuyang are around 590 and 570 respectively, and they all have minority care points.

Zhang Zhenyu did not participate in their discussion and tidied up his things alone.

When Pang Jie and the others saw that Zhang Zhenyu was silent, they thought he had failed the exam and felt sad, so they kept looking at him carefully but did not ask.

In the end, Pang Jie, who was still a little impatient, spoke first because judging from Zhang Zhenyu's performance two days ago, he didn't seem to have failed the exam.

"Zhang Zhenyu, how are you? Why don't you talk?"

Zhang Zhenyu nodded and said casually: "It's okay."

Pang Jie patted his chest, stirring up a wave of flesh, and said with a big sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death. Seeing you silent, I thought you failed the exam. Tell me, what's the okay? How many points are there?"

Wen Zhou and Feng Xiuyang also looked at Zhang Zhenyu without blinking, obviously very concerned about his rating.

They became roommates in their senior year, but because they both had good grades and had a common language, they all had a good relationship.

Zhang Zhenyu thought about it and decided not to lie to these roommates, so he said, "It's about 680!"

The next moment, a "piapia" sounded in the dormitory, and someone's call for help. It was obvious that some people who were pretending to be beaten up by his three roommates.

……………………

At 2:00 p.m., the door of dormitory 412 was knocked on. Zhang Zhenyu, who was still condemned by three roommates, got up and opened the door, with a rescued and free expression on his face.

According to the previous agreement with his father, he should be coming to the school to help Zhang Zhenyu move things.

When he opened the door, standing outside the door was a man in his fifties. He was not tall and thin. It was Zhang Zhenyu's father Zhang Chengpu.

Zhang Zhenyu called "Dad", while Pang Jie and others called "Uncle Zhang".

The old man nodded to Pang Jie and others, and then asked Zhang Zhenyu: "Have you packed up all the things?"

Zhang Zhenyu patted the two woven bags beside the door, pointed to a large denim backpack and two large plastic bags placed on the lower bunk, and said, "All are all done."

The old man nodded, picked up a woven bag and put it on his shoulder, picked up another one in his hand, nodded to Pang Jie and the other one again, and turned around and left the dormitory.

While carrying a big denim bag, Zhang Zhenyu said to several roommates: "Brothers, I'll go first, see you later!"

Wen Zhou and Feng Xiuyang said goodbye to Zhang Zhenyu one after another, while Pang Jie said, "Don't forget what happened tomorrow! Remember to call me!"

Zhang Zhenyu stood up, picked up two large plastic bags, and said while going out: "No problem, I'll call you at nine o'clock tomorrow."

……………………

As they went downstairs and left school, students and parents kept coming in and out. All the students in the third year of high school were cleaning up their departure. Some of them were Zhang Zhenyu's acquaintances, and he greeted him all the way and followed his father all the way.

When he arrived at a secluded place, Zhang Zhenyu said, "Dad, let's discuss something with you!"

Zhang Chengpu continued to walk forward and asked without looking back: "What's the matter?"

"We have some students in our school who plan to organize a cram school together to give tutoring lessons to those first-year high school students and earn some tutoring fees by the way." Zhang Zhenyu said.

Zhang Chengpu, who was walking forward, stopped and said, "That means you can't go to your Uncle Bing's construction site?"

Zhang Zhenyu nodded.

Zhang Chengpu was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, it's easier to run cram schools, and it's safer than going to the construction site."

"In addition, because we have to spend money to rent a house and buy some information, each of us has to raise some money first." Zhang Zhenyu continued.

"How much do you want?" Zhang Chengpu continued to walk forward and said, "I don't have much money at hand. If I want more, I have to ask you uncle to advance it."

Zhang Zhenyu thought about it. Although he still had more than 200 points in his hand, because he had to rent a house and keep some living expenses, he had to ask his father for the 1,000 yuan investment funds. He said, "The minimum investment funds are 1,000 yuan."

Zhang Chengpu did not say whether it was OK, but asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Zhenyu shook his head and said, "There is nothing else. I still have some money in my hand, and there is enough other ones."

……………………

The father and son moved their things to Zhang Zhenyu's uncle Zhang Chengbing's home in the north of the city, halfway up the mountain hundreds of meters above the city.

Dongjiang City is located in a mountainous area. The urban area is a dam with an area of ​​less than ten square kilometers surrounded by several mountains. Therefore, once the urban area is slightly developed, it is likely to reach the surrounding mountains.

Zhang Chengbing is a small contractor. After working in the construction site for several years, he bought a piece of land on this mountain in the north of the city and built his own house.

Because Zhang Chengbing has limited educational level, he likes Zhang Zhenyu, a nephew with particularly good academic performance. During middle school, during holidays, Zhang Zhenyu often stays at their home.

Zhang Zhenyu's father Zhang Chengpu has also worked in the construction site under Zhang Chengbing for three or four years. In addition to his own work, he also took care of the construction site for Zhang Chengbing and earned an additional 300 yuan a month.

The extra 300 yuan salary after more than ten years is not worth mentioning. However, in 2006, most of the wages of migrant workers in these construction sites in Dongjiang City are still at the level of fifty or sixty yuan per working day, and 300 yuan is a considerable number.

In Zhang Zhenyu's memory, his father would have worked on this cousin's construction site until three years later. That time, Zhang Chengpu, who was almost 60 years old, suffered a serious work injury and could no longer engage in heavy physical work like a construction worker, so he left Zhang Chengbing's construction site.

After arriving at Zhang Chengbing's house, Zhang Zhenyu went to the kitchen to help aunt Gong Fengxia cook. Zhang Chengpu called Zhang Chengbing aside and talked about Zhang Zhenyu's intention to hold cram school with his classmates.

Zhang Chengbing was a little surprised when he first heard this, but when he called Zhang Zhenyu out of the kitchen and asked about the specific situation, he still supported Zhang Zhenyu very much, and he happily took out two thousand yuan to ask Zhang Zhenyu to invest more, and then he also gave him more red.

Obviously, Zhang Chengbing is also very optimistic about the cram school run by Zhang Zhenyu and others. They are all the best students in Dongjiang No. 1 Middle School. They themselves are the best persuasion to parents who want their children to become successful.

……………………

In the evening, Zhang Zhenyu borrowed Zhang Chengbing's cell phone, called Pang Jie, and agreed to meet up the next morning.

When Zhang Zhenyu learned that Zhang Zhenyu was going out to rent a house, Zhang Chengbing and Gong Fengxia advised Zhang Zhenyu to live in their house. However, after Zhang Zhenyu said that their cram school was opened at the Municipal Power University, they did not insist anymore. Because their home is in the northeast of Dongjiang City, while the Municipal Power University is in the southwest of Dongjiang City. If Zhang Zhenyu lives in their house, he would have to cross the entire city to attend classes every day and then cross the entire city to come back, which would be really troublesome.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Zhenyu greeted his aunt Gong Fengxia and left. As for Zhang Zhenyu's father and uncle Zhang Chengbing, he had already driven to the construction site last night.

Zhang Zhenyu took the bus twice and finally arrived at his destination.

This is next to Dongjiang TV University. This is the decision made by the two of them considering the convenience of commuting and commuting at the beginning of the cram school later.

Pang Jie obviously went here first to step on the spot. After Zhang Zhenyu arrived, he called first and then took Zhang Zhenyu into a community that looked a little old.

On the way, Pang Jie probably talked about the situation of the house he was going to see. The house is located in the family district of the Municipal Education Commission, and it is the housing of a retired elderly man from the Municipal Education Commission. However, last year, the old man's children bought a new house in other parts of the city, and the family moved to the new house. The old man decided to rent out the old house.

……………………

While talking, the two entered a six-story dormitory building and met the landlord at the stairs on the third floor, an old man with a little gray hair.

As the old man entered the unit, Zhang Zhenyu discovered that although the house looked a bit old outside, the furnishings inside were good and very clean. Although it was a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room, there was actually a small study room, which could be seen as a three bedrooms and one living room layout. There was also a separate kitchen and bathroom.

After the old man learned that Zhang Zhenyu and Pang Jie were high school graduates of Dongjiang No. 1 Middle School and rented a room to facilitate the work-study work during the summer vacation, he was very happy to say that he could reduce the rent to 300 yuan per month.

In addition, the old man was very enthusiastic about introducing the situation near the community to Zhang Zhenyu and the others, such as which store’s goods are good and cheap, which store’s owner is suitable, and even the situation of neighbors nearby, he roughly introduced Zhang Zhenyu and the others.

Finally, after learning that Zhang Zhenyu was planning to start the fire and cook by himself, the old man enthusiastically told him that there was a secret path here to go to the nearby vegetable market, which was much closer than going to the main road, and could save several minutes.

After communicating with the old man, Zhang Zhenyu and Pang Jie quickly made a decision to rent this house. The main reason is that the conditions in all aspects of this house are really good. In addition, the price is also very suitable, even if you continue to look for other houses, it is difficult to find a better one than here.
