"Brother Gao, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Gao Yan arrive, Zhao Jingchu's eyes and expression revealed joy and delight.

"How is Auntie recovering?"

Gao Yan asked.

Zhao Jingchu said, "The doctor just came to check on my mother and said that she is recovering very well. She can now eat some liquid food. I was just about to go and buy some porridge for her."

"That's perfect, I've made some chicken soup!"

Gao Yan handed the lunchbox to Zhao Jingchu: "I added some nourishing herbs to this soup, which will be good for Auntie's recovery. However, she can't eat meat yet, so give Auntie the soup and you can take care of the meat yourself!"

"Brother Gao, thank you for your trouble!"

Zhao Jingchu said, moved.

"Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I have to go to work at the factory!"

After leaving those words behind, Gao Yan hurriedly left the hospital and returned to the factory.

He then led a few members of his hunting team to Chenjiagou for a hunting trip.

During this time, he asked his five team members to inquire around and see if anyone was planning to sell their house, preferably a detached house!

Hearing Gao Yan say he wanted to buy a house.

Hu Shengli quickly said, "Captain, what a coincidence! I happen to know someone who wants to sell a house, and it even meets your requirements quite well. However, the old man is rather stubborn and is asking for a high price!"

"Tell me what happened!"

Gao Yandao said.

So, Hu Shengli briefly explained the buyer's situation.

The buyer was an old man in his sixties from Northeast China. He owned a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) in Beijing.

The old man had no children, but he recently got in touch with his nephew in Northeast China and said he would take care of him in his old age.

For this reason, the old man even made a special trip to Northeast China.

He was also very satisfied with his nephew.

So, I decided to sell my house in Beijing and move to Northeast China to retire.

The old man had kept that courtyard house quite well; it had more than ten rooms of various sizes.

In addition, there is a lot of old furniture in the house.

He can't move it either, so he plans to sell it along with the other items. Therefore, the asking price is 6,000 yuan.

These days, an eighth-grade worker only earns a little over 100 yuan a month.

It would take several years of saving up 6,000 yuan without eating or drinking.

Therefore, how could an ordinary person possibly come up with so much money to buy his house?

And the wealthy don't lack houses.

So even though the old man had lowered the price from 6,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan, no one was interested.

Moreover, people these days have this mindset: housing is allocated by the work unit, and even if the work unit doesn't allocate housing, renting a house for a certain number of years will make it their own.

There's absolutely no need to buy a house outside!

After hearing Hu Shengli's description, Gao Yan had an idea and asked him to take him to the old man's house after get off work!
