Chapter 96 Smelly River
As he said that, Katie took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, and pointed it at the house and continued, "The house price in this suburb is more than 10,000 yuan per foot. If it were in the city, it would cost 20,000 yuan per foot. This is still the financial crisis. The economy of Xiangjiang is in a low period, and the price after the house price has dropped a lot. Otherwise, Ali and I can't afford to rent such a unit. Since you came from a foreign country, of course you may feel that the house here is very small, but for Xiaoli and I, you also need a monthly rent of 10,000 yuan to rent it."
Link, who remembered something, asked: "Xangjiang? I smelled smelly when I crossed that river."
Katie: "It was a few hundred years ago when I named it, and it was fragrant at that time. At that time, there were rice flowers on both sides of the river that were fragrant for several months..."
"What about now?"
"The farmland has become a factory for sewage discharge. It's much better, and now factories require sewage purification facilities."
"Ah, right." Katie said, warning here: "Everyone lives under the same roof and helps each other if you have something to do. If you need to find Xiaoli and me, don't scream chickens, be careful of being fished by sticks."
"Thanks."
For Katie, it doesn't matter whether Link, a new resident, has an identity. The rent of more than one million yuan is evenly divided, which is enough for her and Xiaoli to pay for the down payment for her house. In the past decade, the housing prices in Xiangjiang have already risen to the sky. For example, the two-bedroom and one-living house that she rented is only 500 square feet. Katie didn't dare to think about it.
It will cost at least six million to get a house like this, but the interest rate for loans in thirty years is doubled, that is, at least ten million to get such a house. In addition to the down payment of about one million yuan during the thirty-year repayment period, it also requires an average of more than 20,000 yuan to repay the bank every month.
Katie's own income is not over 10,000. Even if her husband's future income exceeds 10,000, the income of the two of them is just enough to repay the loan every month. Moreover, the high prices in Xiangjiang are not only the housing prices, but also the prices are also high. A chicken weighing two or three pounds costs 100 yuan, and a pound of fresh pork costs 100 yuan.
Katie's own dream is to be satisfied with her husband's one-bedroom apartment of three or four hundred square feet in the future. In fact, such a one-bedroom apartment is the most common type in Xiangjiang. Those with two-bedroom apartments are often rented out at a price of several thousand yuan a month - otherwise the owner will not be able to pay the interest on the bank.
There are even many people who rent their own toilets to others. In Xiangjiang, survival is the first priority, and everything else must give way to survival.
As for catching a rich son-in-law, it is naturally the dream in the hearts of many girls. However, Katie, who has graduated and has encountered obstacles in society, has long understood that elites will naturally marry each other. Cinderella becomes a princess and an ugly duckling becomes a swan is a fairy tale after all.
Adults should forget fairy tales - although the soap operas on TV play every day are fairy tales about adults like Cinderella, a rich family, who ends up marrying ordinary women.
Before leaving, Katie turned on something called a TV for Link. It was like the magic crystal influence, and it could play various recorded influences. According to Katie, "It would be better to have an understanding of society. Don't let the notes catch them when you go out. You are deported, and we will not compensate for the gold bars."
Link sat by the bed and watched TV for a while. Not long after, Xiaoli also took a taxi home. When she entered the door, she said, "It cost me two hundred yuan to take a taxi."
But when Katie took out the gold bricks, she finally smiled happily.
Xiaoli greeted Link, who was open, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Link closed the door and turned down the volume of the TV.
It was midnight and the two women talked for a while and fell asleep on a single bed four feet wide.
Link began to practice meditation. After that, Link turned on the TV again to digest the knowledge here bit by bit, at least common sense.
Link, who watched TV all night, gained a lot. First of all, dragons and giants may have had them in ancient times in this world, but now they are no longer visible. The same is true for monsters. Even most of the beasts have become rare animals and disappear in nature with certain numbers every day.
The most common people in this world are humans, with a number of more than 6 billion. The super city of Xiangjiang alone has a population of more than 6 million, accounting for more than one thousandth of the world's population.
As there are more people, there are more contradictions. This is Link's intuitive impression. The major countries in the world broke out in two wars that affected the world within thirty years. Hundreds of millions of people died and were disabled in the war, but this did not affect the baby boom and population growth after the war. In the decades after the war, the world's population still decisively doubled.
The world is better now. All the great powers have realized the risk of a full-scale war. Now only some small countries are still fighting. Those small countries use both airplanes and cannons, as well as long guns and short guns. Sometimes there is no reason at all, it is to fight.
There may have been magicians in this world in ancient times, but now there are basically no such thing as magician legends. Of course, it is also possible that the magicians chose to hide.
Finally, the plunder and pollution of nature over the past hundred years with the fastest development of science and technology in the world has exceeded the total plunder and pollution of nature in human history in this world by hundreds and thousands of times.
If there were elves in this world, I would have been in a full-scale war with humans in this world. Since there was no fight, it means that there was no elves in this world.
Compared with this, Link remembered that the population in his world is growing slowly. When he reaches the point where he can no longer ask for the monsters, will the humans in his world choose to kill each other? This question is indeed too heavy, but there is a saying in this world that the sky falls and the sky is high. There will naturally be a way.
The next morning, shortly after dawn, Katie opened the door and watched Link still watching TV: "I'm so energetic, watch all night. Come and have a drink of porridge."
Link first went to the weird bathroom, cleaned his hands, face and teeth, and sat down in the room that was integrated with the living room and the kitchen to drink porridge together.
Link took a sip of the porridge and asked, "What kind of porridge is this?"
Xiaoli: "Shrimp egg lean meat porridge, why aren't you used to it?"
Link picked up the bowl and drank it all and said, "No, it doesn't feel nutritious."
Link took out the cooked dragon meat, dragon-slashing blade and dining plate from the storage wrist guards, and cut the meat on the dining table.
