The next day, Jiang Baige was already up while Jiang's mother was making breakfast. She wanted to go out and look for a house today. If her job was sold, the house allocated by the company would definitely be taken back, and then their family would have to move out.

"If I don't have a house, where will I live if I move out?"

Grandma Meng now has acupuncture once every two days, so she doesn't need to go today. She left Grandma Meng at home and asked her mother to help take care of her, and then went out.

Their home is some distance from the city center, and she wants to buy a house in the city center first.

The location in the city center provides convenient transportation and everything is easy to do. Moreover, as the city develops in the future, the price of houses will rise rapidly.

Taking the bus to the city center, she was surprised to see trams and old antique cars, which seemed exactly the same as those in the book she had seen.

The houses here are all single-family three-story villas with large courtyards at the entrance. The large European-style iron gates look very heavy.

She thought there wouldn't be many people on the street, but she didn't expect there were quite a lot of people on the street.

Jiang Baige found a phone booth and called Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan left her his phone number and asked her to call him if she had any problems.

On the other end of the phone, a man's voice asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Baige asked, "Hello, I'm looking for Chen Yuan. Is he here?"

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed out loud, "That's me! You're Bai Ge, right?"

Because the tone of the phone was different, I couldn't recognize the other person's voice.

Jiang Baige was also a little embarrassed and quickly put on a smiling face.

"Brother Shen, are you available to come out now? I have something and I'd like to ask for your help."

Chen Yuan said: "Wait for me for a moment! I'll be there soon."

Jiang Baige quickly told him where she was.

Shen Yuan came quickly, stopped his bicycle in front of Jiang Baige, and made a handsome move.

"Bai Ge, if you have any problem, your brother has people around here."

When Jiang Baige heard this, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes and he quickly spoke.

"Let's find a place to sit for a while and tell you slowly."

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "There's a park just ahead. Let's go sit there."

Jiang Baige nodded, "Let's go!"

Jiang Baige didn't expect that there was already a park at this time, and the environment was so good.

In the park, Jiang Baige and Shen Yuan stopped their bicycles and found a stone bench to sit down.

Chen Yuan said: "If you have something to say, tell me. If it can be done, I promise to help you."

Jiang Baige took out two bottles of water and handed one to Chen Yuan.

"Have a drink of water!"

Shen Yuan glanced at her and took the bottle of water from her hand.

"Wow! This water is so good! It's the first time I've seen it. Where did you get it?"

Jiang Baige unscrewed the lid and took a sip: "You wouldn't know even if I asked you, so drink it!"

Chen Yuan followed her example, unscrewed the lid and started drinking.

He took a sip of the water and was shocked again. It was delicious! But since the other party didn't tell him, he didn't ask. Otherwise, he could have gotten some back to drink for himself.

Jiang Baige took a sip of water before speaking.

"Brother Shen, do you have any connections? Please help me find a house. It's best to have a place with a hospital, a school, and a supply and marketing cooperative nearby. It should be convenient for transportation, quiet, and free of messy people."

When Shen Yuan heard this, his mouth opened wide.

"Are you living here by yourself? Places like this aren't cheap."

Jiang Baige nodded, "Money is not a problem. It would be better if it was a bigger house with a yard so the whole family can live in it."

After hearing this, Shen Yuan took another breath.

"It won't take three or two days. You have to wait."

Jiang Baige replied, "It's okay. Take your time looking. The most important thing is to follow our instructions. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you go in vain."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Look at what you said. Can I ask for your reward? Okay, I'll remember this. Go back and wait for the letter!"

Then he asked, "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."

Jiang Baige nodded, "Okay! But this time, I'm the one who's treating you. I'm the one who asked you for help. How can I let you spend the money?"

After reaching a consensus, the two men rode their bicycles towards the state-owned restaurant.

Jiang Baige ordered several dishes, including braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of dumplings for each person.

I don’t know how it tastes. It’s the first time that Jiang Baige ordered so many dishes.

When Shen Yuan heard the dishes she ordered, he quickly stopped her from ordering.

"I think this is enough. If you add more, you won't be able to finish it and it will be wasted."

Jiang Baige said, "It's okay. If you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it home."

The dishes were served quickly, and they started eating only after the dumplings arrived.

The dumplings are made with cabbage and pork, not much filling and the skin is quite thick.

There is not much lean meat in the braised pork, it is quite fatty.

Jiang Baige said, "Brother Shen, please eat!"

Chen Yuan said: "Then I won't be polite."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Jiang Baige asked again: "Brother Shen, does anyone you know look for a job?"

Shen Yuan looked up at her: "What's the matter, where do you still have work to sell?"

Jiang Baige nodded: "My father has a back injury, so my brother is doing all the work at the steel mill. He is still young and can't do this job at all."

"My mother is old, she can't do this."

"So we want to sell our job and find an easier job for my brother."

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, "It seems someone wanted a job, but I can't remember where. I'll ask my mother when I get home. She'll definitely know."

Jiang Baige clasped his fists in thanks, "Brother Shen, I'd like to thank you in advance."

She acted like a man, which Shen Yuan found very cute.

"Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll go ask for you."

After exiting the state-owned hotel, the two of them separated. Jiang Baige took out a bicycle and rode it alone to the riverside, asking for directions along the way.

That was the most prosperous place in the city in the future. She wanted to go and see what it looked like at that time.

After arriving at the riverside, the scenery here has begun to take shape. Many houses that will become famous in later generations have begun to be built on both sides of the river.

There were several ships loaded with cargo passing by on the river.

Jiang Baige thought that if she bought a few houses here, she would have money in her pocket even when she lay down.

She snapped her fingers and waited for Shen Yuan to find a house for her. She would ask him to help her buy a few more houses nearby.

When she has money in the future, she wants to invest here.

She rode her bike around again and then went back the same way.

When passing by the post office, she suddenly remembered that she had a fiancé named Chen Jianguo. She seemed to have forgotten to write to him after being back for so long.

He quickly took out the paper and pen from his bag, wrote a letter to Chen Jianguo and sent it back. He also sent them some things that represented Shanghai, such as White Rabbit milk candy.
