"Xiao Zhou, let me know that the rent will increase by 500 yuan next month. If you continue to rent, you will have to sign a new contract. If you don't rent it, tell me in advance and I will refund you the rent. Now the market is like this, you can understand it!"

Looking at the message sent by the landlord on WeChat, Zhou Fan felt speechless.

"Md, a single room separated by a pestle wooden board can be placed in tm, and I am going to ask me 2,500 yuan. I licked my face and asked me if I would rent it. I *******," Zhou Fan cursed at the news.

This kind of curse can only make Zhou Fan feel a little better. These words cannot be said in front of the landlord. After all, there is still a deposit in their hands, unless Zhou Fan doesn't want the two thousand yuan!

Zhou Fan had a headache. Zhou Fan could not afford the rent at this price. With Zhou Fan's courier's monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, he had to find a place to live again.

Zhou Fan has been working as a courier for half a year. The deposit he has in his hands for half a year is 5,000 yuan. Just this 5,000 yuan deposit must be included in the rent deposit of 2,000 yuan in the landlord!

When I thought of how hard work every month, Zhou Fan was always sad and helpless.

But now he has not gotten off work yet, so he has to deliver the express delivery in his hands first. After all, he still counts on this salary next month and survives in this bustling metropolis...

After delivering the express delivery, Zhou Fan, who was no longer motivated, was also ready to get off work early...

I turned on the electric tricycle, ignored several red lights and returned to the site, charged the battery of my tricycle at the site, and chatted with my colleagues for a while. It was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Fan found the webmaster and asked for a day off for himself. He said he wanted to find a place to live again, and then he clocked in and got off work.

Back at the rental house, I washed myself briefly, Zhou Fan lay down on the bed, opened WeChat, and sent a message to the landlord that he was not renewing the lease, put down his cell phone, and looked at the roof without focusing on his eyes in a daze.

I remember that I have graduated from high school and I am 24 now. I have neither education nor a wealthy and powerful parents. In this S city, which is full of opportunities, Zhou Fan, who is alone here, is unspeakable in his heart!

The passion and dreams that have been shattered after leaving school have been shattered by the experiences of these years!

Zhou Fan used to work as an apprentice in the kitchen, worked in the factory, worked as a security guard in the community, and worked as a security inspector in the subway...

Although work is said to be free and low, the original ideals are far from the current actual situation!

Thinking back to the past, the ups and downs, it seems that I am working hard in S City, and the only thing I bring to Zhou Fan is bitter but not sweet. He is just surviving here...

Zhou Fan turned to look at the pitiful rental house, and the feeling of loneliness, frustration and powerlessness surged in his heart.

…………

The ringtone of the cell phone pulled Zhou Fan back, looked at the caller ID, and it was the call from the village chief. Zhou Fan smiled bitterly. He knew the purpose of the village chief calling him!

Zhou Fan took a deep breath and answered the phone. The familiar local accent on the phone reached Zhou Fan's ears.

"Is it Fanfan? I'm your uncle." He said loudly with a smile on the phone.

"It's me, how are you doing recently? Is there anything wrong with calling?" Zhou Fan greeted respectfully.

"It's great! I called to tell you that the village homestead has a certificate, the village committee has measured it, your land certificate has been issued, and now it is in my hands!"

"The mountain behind the village, your grandfather opened up, and the pond in front of your house are so big, and there are certificates. In our village, your house is the largest area," Zhou Fan's uncle said with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle, if you don't help me, my family won't have so many land. Let's put the certificate there first. When I go back for the New Year, you can give it to me again, no hurry," Zhou Fan said in a compliment.

The old man said in a slightly deep tone: "Why are you thanking me? The village is not gossiping, who doesn't know your situation? The land in the circle is what your family deserves. You are pitiful and have no parents! I am still your uncle, this is what your uncle should do!"

The old man's tone slowed down and continued, "Also, the rent for someone else to rent your land has also come to me. In addition to your poverty subsidy last year, the money has been transferred to you, and the total is 4,360 yuan, check it."

"Uncle, I checked it and received it," Zhou Fan replied with a smile.

A trace of doubt flashed through Zhou Fan's heart. Why is it nearly 400 yuan more than last year? However, he didn't ask the old man about the reason on the spot.

After all, it is a good thing to have too much rent, and Zhou Fan trusts the village chief very much.

After that, the old man talked to Zhou Fan about the recent situation in the village and talked about some preferential policies for returning home to start a business, Zhou Fan had to hang up the phone.

Zhou Fan, who was lying on the bed, smiled bitterly at the old man's phone number. He understood the last call of the village chief, who had not given him five blessings, that was, he wanted to return to his hometown to start a business, but Zhou Fan had his own concerns!

Village chief Zhou Xinmin is a conscientious and responsible old Communist Party member. His current idea is to lead his village out of poverty and become rich!

However, in Zhoujiawan, most young people go to cities to work, and those who stay in the village are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. It is too difficult to get rid of poverty and become rich by relying on these elderly, weak, sick and disabled people!

Only by finding ways to make young people from other places return to their hometowns to start businesses and rely on young people can they have the opportunity to get rid of the poverty hat and become rich, and not become a ghost village in ten or twenty years!

This is the only idea of ​​an old man who has lived in Zhoujiawan for his whole life. Zhou Xinmin learned that the national poverty alleviation policy was tilted to the local area and supported young people to return to their hometown to find jobs and start businesses. Village chief Zhou Xinmin thought of this poor junior Zhou Fan in his mind.

Zhou Fan, who was lying on the bed now, was also thinking about whether to listen to the old man, put aside his worries, and try to return to the village to start a business.

He was accomplished in S City, and a call from the old man gave Zhou Fan an extra choice. Instead of living here, he would try going home.

Recalling the recent pressure of work and life, Zhou Fan's mind began to sway between S City and his hometown.

…………

The next morning, Zhou Fan, who was wearing two dark circles, greeted the female neighbor who was a KTV waiter next door, and sat in the living room and ate the breakfast I bought from downstairs. At the end, Zhou Fan did not sleep well and was thinking about the uncle's words.

"Oh, Zhou Fan, you're resting today. Don't you go to work?" The female neighbor greeted Zhou Fan.

"Yes, Miss Xiaoli, I'll take a break today!" Zhou Fan replied while having breakfast.

The name of Xiaoli in Zhou Fan is Zhang Xiaoli, who is from SD Province. She is married. Her husband works as a property security guard in a high-end community in S City. The couple said that there is also a son who is in kindergarten in his hometown.

Why is Zhou Fan so clear? It is not easy to meet a neighbor sister with a good looks in such a rental house!

24-year-old Zhou Fan is young and energetic, and Zhang Xiaoli is also his target when the night is quiet...

Moreover, the rental house is not very soundproof. When her husband reunited with her every now and then, Zhou Fan could hear the singing. Zhou Fan used to secretly pay attention to this neighbor's sister!

Until one time, Zhang Xiaoli accidentally sprained her ankle downstairs, Zhou Fan carried Zhang Xiaoli back to the rental house. In order to thank him, his husband, who was a property security guard, invited Zhou Fan to have a meal.

Zhou Fan felt that Zhang Xiaoli's husband was quite in line with his appetite. He made good friends and thoughts of holding his brother and wife and not riding them. Then he gradually lost those dirty thoughts about Zhang Xiaoli...

"Zhou Fan, did the landlord tell you that the rent has increased by 500. What do you think?" Zhang Xiaoli asked in a low voice.

"What else can it be done? Sister Xiaoli, you don't know how much my monthly salary is. After paying the rent for half of the month, I became even more nervous about food, clothing and use. I am planning to rent a house again." Zhou Fan frowned.

"I'm not going to live here either. My husband said he was going to quit his job and go back to his hometown. He said he didn't want to be a security guard and was going home to catch the sea and fish. He heard that someone in my hometown was rushing to catch the sea and fishing at home. He could also record it into a video and upload it to a video website. He earned more money a year than we were outside. My husband also wanted to go back to make videos. Maybe he could become an internet celebrity and make a lot of money!"

"Is that true? Sister Xiaoli, you and Brother Cheng combined the salary of more than 10,000 yuan, and it is stable. I heard that the luck of fishing at sea is relatively large." Zhang Fan replied.

"My son is about to go to elementary school. Your Brother Cheng's parents are not in good health. There is no one to take care of your son at home. Moreover, your Brother Cheng and I don't want him to suffer the hardships we had when we were young. I want to be with my son," Zhang Xiaoli said, and she felt a little emotional.

Zhang Xiaoli just turned 30 this year, and her husband is one year older than her. She has caught up with the national rural support city barrier and is a left-behind child at home!

Zhang Xiaoli and his wife don’t want their son to lack education. After all, the older generation is a little worried. Besides, they have already tasted the childhood of lacking fatherly love and motherly love when they were young. The couple doesn’t want their son to experience the sins they suffered again!

"Yes, I am also half a left-behind child. If my parents had nothing to do, I might be another life by my side." Zhang Fan said with some self-deprecating self-deprecation.

"You are very good now, working steadily and spending money randomly. Brother Cheng and I were not as honest as you at your age. Although our uncles and aunts have passed away, we will feel at ease to see you like this now." Zhang Xiaoli comforted.

"It's okay, it's okay, Miss Xiaoli, have you decided to go back to my hometown with Brother Cheng?" Zhou Fan asked.

"Well, I decided to go back to my hometown!" Zhang Xiaoli seemed to be thinking about something, looking a little happy.

"Okay, then Sister Xiaoli, come home and send me those videos of rushing to the sea, and I'll like and forward it to you!" Zhou Fan joked.

"Okay, don't you sleep in when you are resting? Why are you getting up so early today? And looking at your eyes, you didn't sleep well. What's wrong? What did you do yesterday?" Zhang Xiaoli said with a wicked smile.

"No, no, what's wrong? I'm going to rent a house again? How difficult is it to find a cheap and affordable house here? Sister Xiaoli, you are worried all night, so you didn't sleep well at night." Zhou Fan hurriedly denied.

"Haha, did you watch a small movie a few days ago? I heard it all, and you just came here a few days ago, don't think I don't know... And I introduced my colleague to you last time, you didn't even see me. How great is it to have a girlfriend, how lonely you are..." Zhang Xiaoli said seriously to Zhou Fan without any teasing expression.

Zhou Fan looked embarrassed: "Sister, when is that going on? I'll go out to find a house first!"

As he said that, he walked out of the rental house quickly. Listening to the laughter coming from Zhang Xiaoli behind, Zhou Fan's old face turned red...

A man of Zhou Fan’s age, he would definitely not be able to talk about these topics with such a young woman, so he would be the best time to leave!

When I went out, I turned on my phone and looked at the rental information of 36.com. Zhou Fan felt a pain in his heart. There was no single room below 2,000 nearby!
