No. 2, No. 4 and No. 6 of Narcissus Street are townhouse buildings with a polygonal four-sloping roof. The overall appearance is gray-blue and the three chimneys stand out.

There is of course no lawn and garden, no porch, and the entrance directly faces the street.

"Tingen City Improvement Housing Company" Skate held a string of copper keys and opened the door to introduce:

“Our townhouses have no foyer, they are living rooms, there is a convex window facing the Narcissus Street, and the lighting is quite good...”

Reflected in Klein, Benson and Melissa are a set of cloth sofas bathed in golden sunlight and a spacious space comparable to their previous two-bedroom.

“This living room can also be used as a living room, with a dining room on the right and a large fireplace on the left wall for your winter heating.” Scat pointed with a familiar look.

Klein glanced at it and confirmed that it was a rough open layout. The dining room and the living room were not cut off, but they were far from the convex window, which was quite bleak.

There is a small red rectangular wooden table surrounded by six hardwood armchairs, and the fireplace on the left wall is the same as the foreign movies and TV shows that Klein has seen before.

“The back of the restaurant is the kitchen, but we don’t provide any utensils. The living room is opposite the small room and bathroom...” Skater took the step and introduced the rest of the layout on the first floor.

The bathroom is divided into two inner and outer rooms. The outside is the place to wash. The inside is the toilet. There are folding doors. The room is small, but there is also the size of the room where Melissa currently lives. She is a bit worried.

After reading the first floor, Skater led the brothers and sisters to the stairway next to the bathroom:

“There is a underground storage room. The air inside is very dull. Remember to ventilate before you go in.”

Benson nodded quietly and followed Skater to the second floor along the stairs.

"I have a bathroom on my left hand side and two bedrooms on the same side. I have the same pattern on the right hand side, but the bathroom is near the small balcony."

During the conversation, Skater opened the door to the bathroom and leaned over the body, allowing Klein, Benson and Melissa to look at them without hindrance.

This bathroom has more bathtubs than the first floor. There are also folding doors next to the toilet. Although there is some dust, there are no other dirty places, no stench and no crowding.

Melissa looked at it until Scare walked to the bedroom next to her, only to converge and follow.

After a few steps, she looked back again.

Klein, who has seen the world, is also very happy and looking forward to this, because even if the landlord often supervises everyone's cleaning, the public bathroom is still not clean enough, often people have the urge to vomit, let alone some impatience. queue.

The other bathroom is the same as this one. The four bedrooms are only slightly larger and have bookshelves. The rest are almost the same size. There are beds, tables and wardrobes.

“The balcony is small and you can't get too much clothes at a time.” Skate stood at the end of the corridor, pointing to the place where the door and the lock were separated. “There are also complete sewers, gas pipes and meters. Ideal for gentlemen and young ladies like you, you only need 13 Sule rentals and 5 pence of furniture per week. In addition, a two-week deposit is required."

Without waiting for Benson to speak, Klein was curious and looked around:

“If you want to buy it, how many pounds does this house need?”

As a traversal of the big country of eating, the desire to buy a home is always in his heart.

After hearing this question, both Benson and Melissa were shocked. Looking at Klein with the look of the monster, Scart replied firmly:

“Buy? No, we don’t sell real estate, we only offer rent.”

"I just want to know, understand? Look." Klein explained.

Scart hesitated for a few seconds:

“Last month, the owner of No. 11 Narcissus Street just sold a similar house, in the form of a land lease, £300 for 15 years, which is much cheaper than direct rent, but not everyone can come up with such a big one. If you want to buy it completely, the price of the homeowner is 850 pounds."

£850? Klein quickly started his mental arithmetic:

My weekly salary is 3 pounds, Benson is 1 pound and 10 sul... The rent is 13 Sule, and when I eat well every day, I have to use nearly 2 pounds a week, as well as clothing sharing, transportation expenses, interpersonal expenses. , etc., etc., at most, you can drop a dozen Sule in a week, about 35 pounds a year, 850 pounds, it takes about 20 years... even if it is only 300 pounds in the land lease, it is at least In 1989, this does not consider things such as getting married, separating, giving birth, traveling, etc...

In this world without personal housing loans, most people should only choose to rent a house...

He realized that he had taken a step back and aimed at his brother, Banson, and signaled him to negotiate the rent price.

As for the wishes of Melissa, it will be clear to see her nephew!

At this moment, Klein had the illusion of "closing the door and putting it in the middle of the class."

Benson clicked on his cane without silver, and looked around:

"We should go see other houses again. The restaurant is poorly lit and the balcony is very small. You see, only the bedroom has a fireplace, and the furniture is too old. We have to change more than half of it..."

He quickly picked a bunch of problems and quickly "convinced" Skate in ten minutes, letting him lower the price to 12 rents for the rent, 3 pennies for the furniture, and the deposit was rounded up. 2 pounds

No more wasted time, the brothers and sisters followed Scare back to the "Tingen City Improvement Housing Company", signed a two-fold contract, and went to the Notary Public Office in Tingen to find a notary public notary.

After paying the deposit and the first week's rent, Klein and Benson's remaining money add up to 9 pounds 2 Soller zero 8 pence.

Standing at the door of No. 2 Narcissus Street, they held a string of copper keys, and they could not move their eyes and roll their emotions.

"It feels like a dream..." After a while, Melissa looked up and looked at the "Moretti House" afterwards, and the voice was low and said.

Banson gave a sigh of relief and smiled:

"Then don't wake up."

Klein didn't feel so touched, nodded:

"We have to replace the locks on the doors and balcony doors as soon as possible."

"This is not anxious, the creditworthiness of the housing company in Tingen is very good. The rest is the cost of your dress, but before that, we have to go to Mr. Francis." Benson pointed to the direction of the apartment.

............

Going home to make up the rye bread, the brothers and sisters went to the townhouse on the street of Iron Cross Street and knocked on the door of the landlord.

"You should know my principles and absolutely not allow rents to be in arrears!" The short Mr. Francis sat on the sofa and declared very aggressively.

Benson leaned forward and smiled and said:

"Mr. Franche, we are here to rent out."

So direct? Is this negotiation really good? Klein was amazed at the side.

On the way, Benson said that his bottom line is to compensate 12 Sule.

"Retirement? No! We have contracts, and half a year!" Frankie glared at Benson and waved his arms.

Benson looked at him seriously and waited until he calmed down and said calmly:

"Mr. Franche, you should be very clear, you should earn more."

“Make more?” Francie touched his thin face and asked with interest.

Benson sat up straight and explained:

"The two-bedroom rent to us three people is 5 Sule 6 pence, but if you rent it to those who have five people, six people, and two or even three people who are at work and are paying, I I think they are willing to pay more for it, instead of going to the street where the security is very bad, 5 Sule 10 pence, or 6 Sule, I think it is a reasonable price."

Seeing that Francis’ eyes were bright and his throat was squirming, he continued:

“And, you know for sure, in recent years, rents for homes have been on the rise. The longer we live, the more you lose.”

"But... I need time to find a new tenant." Mr. Francis, who inherited the estate and got the apartment, was obviously moved.

"I believe that you will find it soon. You have this ability and resources. Maybe two days, maybe three days... We will compensate you for the loss during this time. We will use the deposit we paid, 3 Sule, which is fair. "Banson immediately "clad".

Francis nodded with satisfaction:

"Banson, you are a young man with a conscience and an honest person. Well, we sign a 'stop contract'."

Klein looked awkwardly and thoroughly understood Mr. Franche's easy "convincing."

This is too convincing...

To solve the problem of the previous contract, the three brothers and sisters went to help Klein to buy a formal dress, and then began to move busy.

They don't have any heavy and huge items, they belong to the landlord, so Benson and Melissa jointly "rejected" Klein's idea of ​​hiring a horse-drawn carriage, and did it himself, going back and forth between Daffodil Street and Iron Cross Street. One after another.

Outside the window, the sun was slanting, and the golden color of the burning smell passed through the convex window and sprinkled on the desk surface. Klein looked at the neatly arranged books and notes on the shelf, and gently placed the ink and the pen. Wiped the table clean.

It was almost finished... He vomited and felt the groan of his stomach, and put down the rolled cuffs and walked to the door.

He has a bed that belongs to him, the sheets and quilts are white, old but clean.

Klein twisted the handle and walked out of the bedroom, waiting for the opening, and saw the two doors on the opposite side open, revealing the appearance of Benson and Melissa.

Looking at the gray dust and dirty stains on each other's faces, Klein and Benson suddenly laughed and laughed very happily.

Melissa bit her lip and gradually became infected with them, whispering a smile.

............

Early the next morning.

Klein stood in front of the mirror without a crack and carefully arranged the collar and cuffs of the shirt.

This included a white shirt, a black tuxedo, a half-high silk hat, a black vest and pants, leather boots, and a bow tie. It cost him 8 pounds in total, which made him feel very distressed.

However, the effect is also very good, Klein only feels that the volume of his own book in the mirror is more intense, it seems a bit handsome.

Hey!

He closed the pocket watch, put it in the inside pocket, then took the cane, hid the revolver, and arrived at Zouteland Street on the track public carriage.

When he entered the "Black Thorny Security Company", he thought that he was used to his previous lifestyle. He didn't give Melissa extra money this morning, let her continue to walk to school.

Shaking his head and jotting down the matter, Klein stepped into the "Black Thorns Security Company" and saw the brown-haired girl Roshan being brewing coffee there, making it full of fragrance.

"Good morning, Klein, the weather is good today." Luo Shan smiled and said, "To be honest, I have always been very strange. In this weather, do you guys wear formal clothes and don't feel hot? I know, Tingen's summer. It’s not hot enough compared to the south, but it’s still summer.”

"This is the price of grace." Klein replied humorously, "Good morning, Miss Rosanne, what about the captain?"

"Old place." Rosanne pointed to the inside.

Klein did not see the dagger, and through the partition, knocked on the door of the Dunn Smith office.

"Come in." Dunn's voice and tone were as gentle as ever.

Seeing that Klein had changed a good suit, he nodded slightly, and the gray smiled:

"Do you think about it?"

Klein took a deep breath and solemnly replied:

"Yes, I have made a choice."

Dunn sat up straight, his expression quickly became serious, and his gray eyes were deep and unchanging:

"Tell me your answer."

Klein replied without hesitation:

"Divination!"
