Chapter 0009 A Human Face

　　Yin Jun was a very careful person. 　　When he came in, he saw the large variety and quantity of seasonings, the large gas stove, and the two large pots on the ground floor, and thought that this was not for the residents' own use. 　　Even if there were a family of three living in one of the rooms, they would not be able to eat so much, and would not be able to use so many seasonings - the meals of an ordinary family are naturally as simple as possible, as long as they can fill their stomachs, and they don't have to put so much thought into their diets. 　　There was also another point, the hall that served as a kitchenette had a small table on the side. 　　But there were only two chairs next to the small table. 　　If Yin Jun expected correctly, either one of the house is a husband and wife, the other house is a single person does not eat at home, or here two rooms are only one person living. 　　Of course, there is also the possibility that one of the family is cooking and eating in the house, but Yin Jun would not think that such a small house can be placed under the dining table and other things, in the case of enough common space, there is no need to squeeze the space of their own private house. 　　As his thoughts passed, Yin Jun turned to ask, "What do the other tenants of this house do?" 　　"One works in a cafeteria, the other does odd jobs, both are honest people." The agent laughed, "You have to hurry, this place is in high demand, if it hadn't just been vacated, you wouldn't have seen this house before it was rented out. Such a cheap and cozy room, where are you going to find it?" 　　Yin Jun nodded and suddenly pointed at the gas stove and asked, "This lady over here, how is the taste of the cart snacks?" 　　"Good ...... uh!" 　　The agent subconsciously just answered one word and immediately reacted with embarrassment. 　　"This house is really good, but if there is an older woman who makes semi-finished products at home and then carts them out to sell them, the flavor is definitely great." Yin Jun said in a flat voice, "If you live here, you will definitely be affected. And another resident, who can actually tolerate such a thing, then one reason could be that he has a big heart, and another reason could be that he also has some unknown hobbies or habits, so that they can put up with each other ...... Am I right?" 　　The agent sucked in a breath of cold air. 　　After carefully sizing up Yin Jun, he laughed bitterly, "If it wasn't for the fact that your ID card is only 16 years old, I really thought you were an undercover agent. How do you know that this stall is Auntie, not Uncle?" 　　"If it was an uncle, it wouldn't be cleaned up so neatly. Look at how even the countertop is wiped clean and every bottle is neatly arranged, that means it should be a woman." Yin Jun replied. 　　"Sharp!" 　　The agent gave a thumbs up before saying, "I'll be honest with you, this house over here is inhabited by an older woman who makes some fishballs and chee chai noodles at home and takes them to the neighborhood to sell them; while the other house, indeed, is inhabited by a fat man who works at the nearby teahouse. Although it's a bit of a big smell, but at least the rent is cheap, I think you can still rent it, otherwise if you're so young and you've just come out to do something, where would you get so much money to rent an expensive house?" 　　"There's another problem." Yin Jun ignored his persuasion and asked straight away, "You still haven't answered me, why does the other tenant put up with this smell? What bad habits does he have?" 　　"Uh ......" 　　The agent was asked and had no choice but to whisper, "His hobby is singing opera, so he often hangs his voice, and with the door to the room closed, the surrounding area is still tolerable, but the people who live together on this side of the house have a hard time tolerating it. Auntie goes out early in the morning and doesn't come back until the afternoon, and he's long since finished hanging his voice and gone to work, so naturally he doesn't bother. Other people would have a hard time accepting it, with all the noise in the morning and such a big briny food processing smell at all times ......" 　　"I see." 　　Yin Jun slightly jawed and pondered for a moment. 　　Just as the agent sighed and felt that his agency fee had gone down the drain again, Yin Jun smiled and said, "Then, I'll rent this house!" 　　"Ah!?" 　　The agent couldn't believe it but was overjoyed, "I did tell you the situation, the lease period is at least half a year, and if you move out without completing the lease period, then the deposit is not refundable!" 　　"No problem." Yin Jun said. 　　"Can I ask you something?" The agent really couldn't help himself, "Why are you willing to live in the house even though you know about the situation?" 　　"I like to find places with a human touch when I rent an apartment." Yin Jun replied in a peaceful voice, "The habits of Auntie and the opera lovers will both cause problems for others, but they can both put up with each other, so that proves that they aren't fickle and harsh people, and they even have a human touch. Subletting under the same roof with them, at least I don't have to worry about bickering over trivial things day in and day out. And that's what I need, an environment like this, where the smells and sounds and all that don't matter." 　　The agent sighed as he listened, and took Yin Jun to sign the housing contract, saying this to him before he left, "Teenage boy, if someone like you doesn't grow up to be a genius, it's really God's lack of eyes!" 　　...... 　　After paying the money and signing to rent the house, Yin Jun ran to the grocery store and supermarket not far away under the guidance of the agent and bought bedding, water bottles, toothbrushes, and some other daily necessities back. 　　Just after returning to the room and cleaning the house for a while, the outside door was opened. 　　Yin Jun walked to the door and looked out, only to see a skinny old woman in her fifties, strenuously bending down to lift a large soup pot, trying to carry it in. 　　"Oh, Auntie, put it down!" Yin Jun watched with trepidation, fearing that she would break a bone in such a single stroke, and hurriedly called out. 　　When the old woman heard the unfamiliar voice, she could not help but be appalled for a moment, and when she looked up and saw Yin Jun coming out of that unoccupied house, her eyes were also filled with caution. 　　"Let me help you!" Yin Jun put down the rag in his hand and said as he walked over, "My name is Yin Jun, I'll be living here starting today....... Auntie you can call me if there's anything in the future." 　　Between words, he took the big soup pot in the old woman's hand, only to see that there was quite a lot of soup inside, but there was nothing left, fishballs, radish, beef mince and so on, only stars could be seen. 　　The large soup pot was not heavy, Yin Jun also saw a cart parked outside the house with a similar soup pot on it. 　　If both soup pots were filled with things and wanted to push them out, it would all be a laborious job as well. 　　"Put the soup pot on the stove?" Carrying the large soup pot, Yin Jun asked the somewhat dazed old woman. 　　"Oh, yes ...... ah, thank you ......" the old woman thanked as if she had woken up from a dream. 　　"It's okay, that soup pot outside, bring it in too, right? You sit down first!" Yin Jun put down the soup pot in his hand, turned around and went out, and brought back a second large soup pot. 　　Incidentally, there were also some fresh ingredients in the car that had not been processed, such as fishballs, radishes, and so on, and Yin Jun helped bring them into the house together as well. 　　The old woman looked very uneasy as she watched Yin Jun busying himself, rubbing both hands together with an awkward look of wanting to say something. 　　"Auntie, you come back at this time every day at noon?" Yin Jun was a little tired and sat down on the chair next to him, asking in passing. 　　During this period of time, in order to seize the time to write down his memories, Yin Jun didn't even insist on running and exercising every day like he did in the past, but fortunately, his body had returned to the state of a sixteen year old, so he didn't have to worry about gaining much weight. 　　"I ...... you ......" the old woman stood and stammered. 　　"My name is Yin Jun, call me Jun. What about you, Auntie?" Yin Jun understood her meaning in seconds and repeated his name again. 　　"I ...... you call me Auntie Zhang." The old woman was embarrassed, "When you ...... you rented the house, you knew that I was here ......" 　　"Know ah." Yin Jun nodded and smiled gently, "Auntie Zhang, it's okay, when you go out, which one doesn't have a little difficulty? The flavor of making fishballs and carboy noodles is not small, but it can still be reduced a lot behind closed doors. I can eat two more bowls of rice with this flavor!" 　　Auntie Zhang sniffed the heart that lifted up also fell, "I'm sorry ...... don't worry, I'll pay attention to lighter, I usually do it in the morning and at noon ...... if you don't mind, I'll do two bowls every day by the way for you, the flavor is It's very good." 　　"No need." Yin Jun smiled, "I've just come from the mainland and I'm preparing to apply for a job at the TV station next to me, so I'll often review some textbooks, read some books, and write a little bit, so my three meals will be a little more irregular, so Auntie Zhang, you can just take care of yourself." 　　Without a trace, Yin Jun told his own history, so that Auntie Zhang could relax her guard even more. 　　Auntie Zhang sold fishballs and carboy noodles over at Wutai Mountain, so of course she knew that people were often recruited there, and with a relieved heart, she suggested, "Wireless, Goodview and Li's, basically their personnel don't need to take much of an exam, so you can just apply for the job directly. Only the salary is less at first, it will be a bit of hard work." 　　"What I'm applying for, it's about writing screenwriting or something like that, it requires some preparation." Yin Jun smiled, "Don't worry, Auntie Zhang, when I came over, my relatives in Xiangjiang gave me some money, so not working for a month or two is no problem. When I learn more fully on my own, then I will be able to find a better job." 　　Auntie Zhang sniffed and revealed a hint of a smile, "Jun ...... Jun, you are really different from those acting people, you look refined, just like those college students in the school next to you." 　　Laughing, Yin Jun stood up, "Auntie Zhang, you're busy, I'm going to clean the house, call me when you need help." 　　"I'm not busy right now." Aunt Zhang hurriedly followed, "Let me help you clean up, when I was at home, the children's nests could all be cleaned up by me ......" 　　Once the barrier was lifted, the two people would be closer, and although Aunt Zhang did not know much about Yin Jun, she wanted to help him out a little more in exchange for his understanding of his processing ingredients in the house. 　　Yin Jun naturally understood this, so he humbled himself and let her work, but the heavier work was still done by Yin Jun himself. 　　After the two of them cleaned up for more than half an hour, the small house was cleaned up, and only then did Auntie Zhang, amidst Yin Jun's thanks, go outside to work. 　　Before going out, she also carefully closed the door to Yin Jun's room. 　　However, a moment later, as the thick aroma of marinade wafted into the room, Auntie Zhang knocked on the door a few more times. 　　When Yin Jun opened the door, Auntie Zhang was holding a very large bowl of Che Chai Noodles, which was very rich in ingredients, with fish balls, beef mince and everything. 　　"Jun, this is what Auntie Zhang just made, not the leftovers from before. If you don't mind, have some, you haven't eaten this noon." Auntie Zhang enthusiastically said. 　　"Thank you Auntie Zhang." Yin Jun brought it over with both hands, "But you don't have to bother in the future, this is the raw material for your business, it's not okay for me to eat it for free, I know how to go out and buy boxed lunches myself." 　　"What's so good about a boxed lunch?" Aunt Zhang looked at him without hesitation to take the bowl, the heart is more comfortable, "Dinner Aunt Zhang can not help you solve, but breakfast and noon meal or can, which does not cost any money, I myself also have to eat ...... I eat alone ah, but also quite lonely, more than one person to accompany, it is good. " 　　Saying that, she pulled the door closed for Yin Jun again, "You are busy with your own, I still have more than an hour to get it done, I am sorry!" 　　"It's okay, you get yours." 　　Before the door to the room closed, Yin Jun only had time to say this.
