秀秀一个好房客——杰瑞

没有故事就是好故事,把没有的故事说出来也是好故事。

前几年,正逢美国房价最低时期。我换工作后,找不到住的地方,就在公司附近租房,花500块租了一个房间,和很多人合用厨房,大家排队煮饭,冰箱里的东西也不分你我,好像一家人,每天围绕在一个方桌子上吃年夜饭,很温馨。房东察觉有人煮饭,就每天傍晚来这里蹲点,躺在一个房间里,把门开一条缝,对着厨房。大家吓得不敢再煮饭共进晚餐了。失去了自由,就失去了幸福。有人搬走,我也企图买一个小房子租给自己。

很快经纪人萝卜先生找到一个两房2卫的抗都,客厅,院子,车库齐全,1238尺,只售8万9,于是就把所有的钱全部奉献出去,连下个月的工资也借出来交给了它!管它房市上涨下降,我知道自己不可能赢得全世界,在智者们深思熟虑的休克中,无知者无畏,我轻易地得到了它。

这个房子里天花板上有几个园洞洞,楼上的马桶不见了,衣厨门也都不见了,地毯很脏,抽油烟机 一边已经掉下来,眼看就要砸到炉头,只有冷气热情地工作着。

Open Escrow 的时候,经纪人就把钥匙给了我,经过察看盘算,这房子可以租1200,我又动心,自己继续当房客,把房子租出去,赚点钱留着日后安全。于是我开始登广告偷偷找房客。大胡子墨西哥人杰瑞来到这里,他们4口之家,一个人工作。我说:“房子还没准备好,很多问题,你会修吗?”。

大胡子洪亮地回答:“我会,什么都会,以前我就做过装修工。”

他的押金不够,要分两次交给我,我担心着,可他总是哈哈大笑着:“不要担心!我是好人,我在那里住了三年了。”。

我迷茫着,其实买房子的钱还没有到位,钥匙是经纪人萝卜先生偷偷给我的。(不要骂我,已经来不及了)

想着可以偷懒,就同意租给了他,是祸是福全然不知。

Close Escrow 那天,我依然是人家的房客,而我倾家荡产买的房子钥匙就交给了大胡子,他们全家搬进去。房客找房客,还不是二房东,这样的关系有点复杂,但还是可以进步的,我收到了第一个月的房租和半个月押金,干枯的银行里流入涓涓细水,滋润起来。

大胡子承诺的,全部兑现,他修复了天花板上的洞洞,装了一个顶灯,还买来马桶装上,不断安慰我:“不要担心!我会做的。” 我带着他们一起去红地炮买材料,那个19岁的儿子非常懂事,会抢着搬东西,杰瑞的教育是我要学习的。装满了一车,送到他家,儿子帮他一起刷墙,修理房子,而家里的女人们穿得漂漂亮亮很有女人味地站在一边。

给了他们一个星期的时间,让他们修整,搬家。他们自己借了机器洗地毯,刷了墙,装马桶、衣橱门,补洞,换抽油烟机……一个房子复活了!他们把家弄得很整洁,分两个月支付了押金。这房子就算租了。

旧房子总是有些新问题,住在里面的人就是最真实的inspection 人员,只要他说,我就修。车库门上一个零件坏了,杰瑞拍张照片,自己买零件修好;电门漏电冒火,他换了开关;楼下的马桶墙上漏水,他挖开墙换了铜管;……,我只管支付材料费和很便宜的人工费。他解除了我不少烦恼和忧患。我们就这样遥控操作,不用见面,就完成了工作。

杰瑞在一家食品公司工作,收入不高,工作很忙,我的房子修理工作也常常找不到合适的人,于是他就成了我的帮手,我们一起换过地板,他充当两天“奢侈品”改天换地。他还帮着换房客时刷墙,他和儿子晚上周末来帮忙,赚外快,我省下不少修理费用。有时候朋友的房子需要修理,我就介绍杰瑞去,每次工作完毕,我都会受到两份感谢。这些杂活就像帮杰瑞找到第二份工作,我的房租也有了保障。这样的关系就是人类进步关系。

前不久的光头专业恶房客,赖房租,合伙城管做假证扰乱法官判决,还把房子弄得很脏,是杰瑞和儿子一起来帮助刷墙,现在的房子焕然一新,新房客就要搬进来了,如果没有他们,我会很辛苦的。我支付给他们的工钱,又变成房租交回给我,货币就是这样流通的。其实拥有房产,总需要一个好帮手,杰瑞就是一个典型的好帮手,我很幸运认识了他们一家,希望天长地久和平共处。

由于遇到杰瑞这样的好人,我放松了警惕,把光头瑞曲也当作杰瑞,让坏人钻了空子,“人和人是不一样的”,这句话充分体现在杰瑞和瑞曲身上。我愿意去帮杰瑞的儿子支付部分学费,这样年底还可以抵税,我祝愿这个男孩健康成长,将来能有份好工作,让父母过上好日子。社会上多一个有用的人,是对人类的贡献。

我要有这样的一个房客就好了。加州不错呀,人工居然比俺住的大农村要便宜!记得有次潇潇说,她花了大约$80左右请专业水管工通室外下水道。几个月前,也请过,问遍了,至少$200。是潇潇请的好,还是普便就这价?等发达了俺就搬到加州去。

潇潇,好样的。

我宁可施人以劳动,不愿施舍给懒人。

我这大农村都找不到可以通外面排水管的华人水管工,没工具也没人愿干。有限的几个华人装修工半路出家,手艺麻麻,边学边做,价格还和专业的靠齐。1500 sf,请华人,包材料,没有上千元是下不来的。
