The next day, Qi Taiguo took Cheng Su to the train station on his bicycle to look at a house. The couple went out the door laughing and talking joyfully, a scene that many people witnessed, including Chiang Qing.
As she watched the two of them disappear into the distance, Chiang Qing almost snapped her well-maintained fingernails in the palm of her hand.
After inspecting the house, a square single-story with two rooms, including a bathroom and kitchen, they found that the monthly rent was ten yuan.
It was a bit more expensive than other houses, but considering the prime location and how new and tidy it was, not to mention roomy enough for a couple and even children, it seemed perfectly suitable.
Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo were both very satisfied and, after discussing, decided to sign the lease so that Elder Sister and her family could settle in when they arrived.
