Chapter 62: Persistence and Concession
"Young man, let me tell you, this is already the cheapest rental house in the neighborhood of ten miles, and I promise you won't find a second one cheaper than mine."
The intermediary with heavy makeup rubbed two or three catties of powder on his face, his face was white like a snake spirit that ran out of a cave, and a pair of squinting eyes were a little terrifying, so that Xia Ye grabbed the hem of Xia Xin's clothes in fear and hid behind him, only revealing half of his small face staring at this woman who was as white as white bones.
And the sight of the summer night shuttles back and forth in the room.
To be honest, the room is really too small, it is estimated that it is not even 20 square meters, the only furniture is a bed, a table, a wardrobe, two people go into the room is full, there is no kitchen, only a super small bathroom, one person can just enter, two people can not stand.
The price of such a small room is 700, and at least one payment of three, 2800 yuan.
Prices here are really much more expensive.
"Oh, don't hesitate, young man, I might as well tell you honestly, this is a college town, and there are universities nearby, and as soon as school starts, the rental houses will be full, and you know, aren't these rooms just for you young couples to come out for fun, and you will care about that little money?"
The intermediary said with a flattering smile on his face.
"When school starts, you can't rent it if you want to, my sister won't lie to you, I'm the cheapest, the building next door, it's less than 5 square meters bigger than me, and the asking price is 900 January, and now it's almost full, you won't have a chance to wait a few days."
Xia Xin said expressionlessly, "I'll go back and think about it." ”
"Really, 2800 is already very low, if you really want to rent, 2600, my sister will sell it at a loss."
"Well, I'll call you if I need to go back."
As soon as he walked on the street, Xia Xin breathed a long sigh of relief, this is already the sixth store today, and before he knew it, the sky was already dark, and even the stars came out.
Xia Ye blinked her clear eyes and asked, "Brother Ge, do you want to rent it, the price of that snake-faced old woman seems to be the lowest today." ”
"Think about it."
In fact, they can't rent it, the two of them still have to eat, and they have to buy some rice cookers and the like, according to past experience, the money to pay for the start of school on summer night is more than that tuition, and if she can't pay the money at that time, she will be laughed at by her classmates.
Xia Xin's brows furrowed tightly, thinking about what to do.
Suddenly found that Xia Ye had his eyes open, and he was also looking at himself worriedly, Xia Xin hurriedly cheered up and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't worry about leaving it to me." ”
Looking up at the sky, "Oh no, it's already so dark, we haven't eaten dinner yet, you must be hungry." ”
At this point in time, the summer night was hungry on the table.
"No," Summer Night shook her head slightly, "I'm not hungry." ”
Xia Xin smiled, "Let's eat first." ”
The two sat down at the roadside noodle stall, Xia Xin ordered a bowl of ordinary white noodles, didn't add anything, asked for 5 yuan, Xia Ye also ordered a bowl of white noodles, Xia Xin helped her add a 2 yuan poached egg, Xia Ye struggled to split the poached egg into 2 parts, and clumsily sandwiched half into Xia Xin's bowl.
Xia Xin smiled, "We're not here yet, we just have to plan it." ”
"Hmm." Summer Night answered softly with a low face.
"I'll send you back to the hotel after eating, and you can rest early."
"No, I'm going to follow you." Summer Night looked up at her little face and replied firmly, with a bright glint in her beautiful eyes.
This made Xia Xin unable to refuse.
After eating, Xia Xin found a few more.
To put it mildly, it's nothing more than "We're definitely the cheapest in the city, boy, and I'm not going to lie to you." ”
"We have good facilities, complete hardware, and a convenience store right out of the door, which is definitely the most convenient."
If you are unhappy, that is, ", stinky boy, I have no money and waste so much time,." ”
Came down all night and found almost nothing.
The housing prices here are a bit beyond Xia Xin's expectations.
Walking on the moonlit and starry streets, the bright neon lights are constantly flashing, but there are many fewer pedestrians on the side, and Xia Xin knows that it is almost 11 o'clock without looking at the time.
A thousand thoughts turned in his mind, holding the little hand of the summer night, and walking aimlessly on the street.
When I was tired of walking, I pulled Xia Ye to sit down on the steps on the side of the road to rest, Xia Ye was very well-behaved, and I just quietly didn't say a word along the way.
Xia Xin looked at the fallen leaves fluttering in the wind under the dark night in front of him in a daze, and fell into deep thought.
For a long time, in the middle of the summer night, in a childish child's voice, he asked timidly, "Brother Ge, do you want to ,...... I won't read anymore. ”
Xia Xin replied without hesitation, "Don't say this kind of thing again." ”
"As long as ......"
"I'll beat you up again."
Summer Night suddenly didn't dare to say more.
Indeed, the tuition fee for Summer Night is too expensive, if Summer Night doesn't study, Xia Xin will definitely be a lot easier, it is no exaggeration to say that he can almost no longer worry about money, and even have a lot of room to watch a few movies, visit the amusement park every day, and soak in a girl by the way,...... If Shu Yuewu agrees.
Summer nights' tuition has always been a bottomless pit.
But this is Xia Xin's bottom line, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.
Some people may say that Xia Xin is not able to do his best, he slaps his swollen face and becomes fat, and he looks for a random elementary school, are you afraid of three or four thousand? There are always five or six thousand, seven or eight thousand.
This is also Xia Xin's stubbornness and persistence.
His parents died in a car accident when Xia Xin was only 13 years old.
Left 13-year-old Xia Xin and 7-year-old Xia Ye.
Then, due to humanitarianism, several relatives had to adopt them until they could work and earn money, and they were gossiped about by others.
But of course, no one wants to bring two oil bottles that are not their own, and a few relatives push them around with disgust, you push me and I push you.
This one said, "Why should I raise it, your family is closer." ”
The one said, "Your family had a good relationship with his family when he was alive, but now I want to admit it." ”
Another said, "Whoever should be adopted according to generation." ”
In the end, it was decided to divide the two children, and one family would raise them for a few years, which would be fair, so that no one took advantage.
Xia Xin will always remember the disgusted eyes of his relatives who were pushed around in the hall at that time.
Then he stood up, said solemnly in a childish voice, "We are not kittens and puppies, we don't need anyone to raise them, I will take care of my sister." ”
After saying that, he left with the summer night.
The relatives were also happy, but this stinky boy who didn't know what to do left took the initiative to leave, but it wasn't that they didn't talk about relatives, and it had nothing to do with them.
With the money left by his parents, he can barely live for a few years, but the childhood of a child without a father and mother can be seen.
In the three years from the age of 13 to 15, Xia Xin had to fight twice in almost three days.
There are always people who come to laugh at him, ridicule him, he is not cowardly at all, come to fight one by one, come to two to fight a pair, usually one person beats several people who are higher than him, he also summed up the experience, to be fierce, to be ruthless, to beat people to be afraid, he will not dare to come next time, the more you coward, the more people think you are a bully.
This style has also been continued by him into the game, if you want to fight, you will hit until you are afraid, if you want to press, you will not dare to go out of your house.
Absolutely no one thought how terrible Xia Xin was at that time, it was completely different from the kind and docile appearance now, and even went to collect protection money from classmates, fight, drink and smoke, etc.
But soon, he found out that his sister was also fighting at school.
My sister is learning from him.
He beats, a summer night, not cowardly at all, and fierce.
At that time, Xia Xin suddenly found that he had always been a role model for his sister, what he did, his sister would do too, even if his heart was rotten, he had to take care of his sister.
Having made up his mind, he vowed never to fight again.
So it has evolved into the current Xia Xin.
In a popular phrase, it is - he wants to be a good person, he has a heavy responsibility, and he must be an example for his sister.
This decision changed him, made him a lot gentler, and also changed Summer Night, he watched some interesting comics, movies, and games with Summer Night every day, so Summer Night is now a bit of a secondary two, but he thinks it's not bad.
Xia Xin vowed to take care of her sister and give her a good childhood.
Higher primary schools are not only expensive tuition, but also the environment inside is more important, everyone's good heart, kind classmates, excellent teachers' all-round education, excellent teaching environment, these are more important for the cultivation of people's heart and morality, vision and thought.
So Xia Xin doesn't want to back down this step, it doesn't matter what he does, he has to let his sister grow up healthily when he dies.
I suddenly regretted that I really shouldn't have acted rashly in the first place.
He thought that he had matured a lot and calmed down a lot, but in fact, he was still like a child, and he couldn't stand it in one breath, and whoever wanted to commit it would have to return it, but now he was not as impulsive as before, but he knew that his essence had never changed.
If you hadn't been rash at the beginning, endured it, and helped Wang Xue finish the list, you should have a sum of money.
At least it's enough to help pay the tuition fees night and night.
Xia Xin covered his forehead with one hand, sighed deeply again, simply lost his face, swallowed the words of self-reliance back into his stomach, and borrowed it from those relatives, he was also quite familiar with Han Fei, he seemed to ......
Xia Xin was thinking about it, and suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, and he was pulled over.
Along the slender and slender fingers, there is an arm that looks like a snow-white melt, a slender silk dress wraps her slender and soft body, a graceful and delicate body like a cold plum blooming in the wind, and an angelic face glowing with a slight halo under the reflection of the white moonlight, which looks so beautiful.
Xia Xin thought for a moment that this was an angel or just his own delusion.
Until the other party pulled it down again, he found that he didn't even move, and said dissatisfiedly in a cold tone, "Let's go, what are you still doing in a daze, do you want me to carry you away!" ”
