This actor needs more money

The meal was almost done and it was still early, so Ding Xiu immediately decided to go take a look.

After going out, the three of them took a taxi to the agency and went to see the house with the agency.

"A two-bedroom apartment with a courtyard. The only one that meets your requirements is a courtyard house. Everyone knows the price of a courtyard house in Peiping. In the past few years, Cheng Long bought eight old and shabby houses for four million."

"But don't worry, it's a place with a good location. We just live there on a daily basis. It's not a big problem if the location is a little bit off."

"The alley is right in front of us. The transportation is convenient. There is a supermarket and a bus station within a few minutes' walk. It only takes half an hour to run to the park in the morning."

"The people who live here are college students, white-collar workers, teachers, and artists who play music and art. The environment is not that bad."

Deep in the alley, the agent opened two doors, and a small courtyard appeared in front of Ding Xiu.

The place is very small, with a total of three houses, one in the middle and one on the left and right. The house is very old and has not been repaired for I don’t know how many years. The appearance is not beautiful at all.

The yard is not big, just over 20 square meters. The bluestone on the ground is uneven and uneven, and you may sprain your feet if you are not careful.

"It may look a bit shabby, but I'm not bragging. If you buy this yard, you won't be able to get it for more than 200,000 yuan."

"Only more than 200,000?" Ding Xiu said subconsciously.

The house price in Peiping is more than 3,000 yuan, and a house generally costs more than 200,000 yuan. The price in this area is only more than 200,000 yuan, which is not expensive, but young people may not like it.

Because people can live in new houses at the same price, but who can live in this old shabby yard? Cars can't get in. It's pitch black at night and it's not safe.

Of course, more than 200,000 yuan is not expensive based on Ding Xiu's income. It is not a big pressure for him to pay part of the down payment first and pay the remaining installments.

For ordinary people, it would take more than thirty years without food or drink to afford it.

"Brother, don't be impulsive." When Ding Xiu said it was not expensive and thought he was going to buy it, Wang Baoqiang stopped him: "It's not cost-effective to buy this house. Real estate is being built everywhere in Peiping and new communities are coming out. In a few years, this house will no longer be valuable. "

"If you really want to buy it, wait. We can rent a house first and then buy it when the price drops."

"Okay, Baoqiang, I didn't expect you to know about houses." Ding Xiu was a little surprised.

Wang Baoqiang scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Actually, I don't know much about it. I just read what the experts said in the newspaper."

The corner of Qin Gang's mouth twitched, and he was too embarrassed to ask which expert said whether housing prices in Peiping would fall. This is really not certain. Anyway, the price is now every six months.

"Okay, let's rent it first." Ding Xiu did the math. Including the salary and winnings from playing mahjong, he had a total of 30,000 yuan. After paying the down payment, he would have to find a job tomorrow. He wouldn't even think about taking a break in the next few years. , this is not his character.

The agent smiled knowingly: "It costs 1,000 yuan a month to rent this yard."

Hearing this, Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang turned around to leave, while Qin Gang's eyes widened.

What does one thousand yuan a month mean? The average teacher's salary is only five to six hundred, so only fools rent here.

"But the cabin on the left is already rented by someone. He pays 300 yuan a month. The two brothers only need 700 yuan to get the other two."

Ding Xiu thought about it for a moment. Renting two rooms for seven hundred yuan, even though he added a yard, was not cost-effective.

It’s not that he thinks it’s expensive, or he can’t afford it, everything must be worth the money.

"Lets see."

"Brother, don't look at it. You can't find such a cheap house in all of Beiping." The agent said earnestly: "How about we take a look at the house first. It is spacious and bright. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

The first thing I looked at was the room on the right. When I opened the door, I saw that it was only eight or nine square meters, and visually I could put a bed in it, so there was very little room for movement.

The main house is larger, with two-thirds more area than the house on the right.

"Xiao Zhang, make it cheaper." Qin Gang spoke for the first time after entering the house for so long: "They are both my friends, please give me some face."

Gritting his teeth, the agent said: "It really can't be any less, but if you can pay one year's rent at once, you can get a 10% discount."

Ding Xiu nodded: "Okay, let's rent it for one year."

8,200 yuan a year, 7,380 yuan at a 10% discount, which is equivalent to a little more than 600 yuan a month, about a hundred yuan cheaper, and within his acceptance range.

Looking at the locked room on the left, Ding Xiu asked: "Who lives here?"

"An artist who plays music." The agent replied with a smile.

…

In the afternoon, Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang cleaned their new home.

After mopping the ground in the main house, Wang Baoqiang took out a thousand yuan from his pocket when he saw Ding Xiu coming in: "Brother, I'll pay three months' rent first, and I'll pay the rest later."

"You can keep it for now." Looking at the house with his hands behind his back, Ding Xiu said, "I want this house, let's count it at four hundred, and you have two hundred over there."

Wang Baoqiang understood that he was taking care of himself, so he couldn't help but blush and said: "Brother, I must pay back this money."

"fine."

"I must pay it back!" Wang Baoqiang raised his voice.

Ding Xiu was speechless: "I didn't say I wouldn't give it back, so why are you yelling?"

After the two of them finished cleaning, Qin Gang drove over in a small truck with two beds and pots and pans, saying he wanted to congratulate them on their move.

While Qin Gang had a car, Ding Xiu asked him to take him to the mall.

He bought a 21-inch TCL TV, including the DVD, for a total of three thousand yuan.

When he was on the set, Yuan Bing told him that actors can only act in dramas and will be supporting actors all their lives. If you want to improve your performance, you can do more movies, that is, watch more movies and learn from the strengths of others.

Therefore, a TV set is a must to buy. It is convenient for watching movies on a daily basis. If you learn more about the teacher's techniques, you will be able to use them sooner or later.

After cleaning, adding furniture, and buying a few electrical appliances, it was already dark the day after.

I also spent a lot of money, and I had less than 20,000 yuan left in my savings of 30,000 yuan.

Ding Xiu was washing his face and wiping sweat in the yard. Qin Gang and Wang Baoqiang were helping him pack his luggage in the house. Suddenly, a photo album fell out.

"Fuck you!"

After taking a look, the old driver Qin Gang exclaimed. He didn't expect that Ding Xiu was still this kind of person. He was usually so quiet that he couldn't tell at all.

"Fuck you!" Wang Baoqiang came over and took a look, admiring Ding Xiu.

The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother. He is not idle even when he is out filming.

Outside, Ding Xiu's voice came: "Who are you scolding?"

Qin Gang was excited, picked up the book and stuffed it back.

After a few seconds, Ding Xiu didn't come in. Wang Baoqiang said, "Let's go out to the restaurant tonight. I'll treat you."

"Where are you going? I'll take you to Houhai Bar for a drink. Don't worry, I'll treat you."

Someone was treating someone, but Wang Baoqiang stopped insisting. Ding Xiu drank well and heard that Houhai Bar was famous, so he didn't refuse.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a street in Houhai was brightly lit and people were coming and going.

This is a famous bar and culture street, a small alley with water, gathering near the sea. There is no noisy music, only melodious singing. It is deeply loved by young men and women born in the 1980s.

Ding Xiu randomly picked a bar and went in. He heard singing coming from the stage.

It was a man with shoulder-length hair. He looked like he was thirty years old. He was not handsome and a bit ugly.

Singing is not easy to listen to.

"One wrong step leads to a lifetime of mistakes. Dancing in the sea is for a living. Dancers are also human beings. Who can tell me the pain in my heart... The dancer shakes her arms and hugs her, and her personality has already been drunk..."

"Thank you Huang Bo for bringing you the dancer's tears, please give me some encouragement."
