Looking at the four people in front of him, Zhao Guoqing thought they all seemed quite outstanding. No wonder they were treated so well by Grandpa Bai. He reached out his hand and walked over with a smile, "Hello, I'm the landlord, Zhao Guoqing! I heard Grandpa mention you earlier. I'm back to take care of some business these past two days, so I'll be staying for a couple of days!"
They shook hands with each other and then introduced themselves.
With Grandpa's introduction, they quickly became acquainted.
At the dinner table, they learned that Zhao Guoqing had now retired and moved to the north to live with his children.
After finishing his meal, Zhao Guoqing deliberately avoided the situation and went to the small room next door.
Lu Zhixia continued to perform acupuncture on Gu Lingxiao. This time, she changed the acupuncture technique, and there was a slight deviation, but the result was good.
After getting dressed and saying goodbye to my grandfather, I saw Zhao Guoqing coming out of the opposite house. He was wearing a coat over his shoulders and a white vest underneath.
"Uncle, we're heading back now!" Lu Zhixia said, taking the initiative to greet them.
Zhao Guoqing said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Lu Zhixia turned back. "What do you want to say?"
Zhao Guoqing put on his clothes and said, "Let's go to Grandpa's room to talk."
Lu Zhixia had a general idea of what was going on, so she followed him back into the house.
As soon as they entered, Zhao Guoqing got straight to the point, saying, "I was thinking about it in the house just now, and I'm considering selling the house. I wonder if you have any ideas?"
Lu Zhixia was indeed interested in the courtyard, but she still had to say, "You'd better think it over carefully, this is your old house."
Zhao Guoqing smiled, "Now my children and grandchildren have their own lives. They've chosen to settle down there, and I can come back once a year when I'm in good health. But once my health declines, this courtyard is destined to fall into disrepair. It's better to hand it over to someone who is destined to have it, so that this courtyard can become better and better!"
Old Master Bai said, "Look at what you're saying! You're only in your fifties, and you're already thinking so far ahead!"
Lu Zhixia felt that if she agreed now, the other party might go back on their word, so she told Zhao Guoqing...
"Uncle Zhao, this way you'll have to stay here for a few more days. Think it through before you talk to me. Don't act impulsively and regret it later."
Zhao Guoqing thought about it and realized that he might indeed regret it, so he told them...
"Let me think about it some more. You guys should think about it too. If I were to sell this house, the money would definitely be over a thousand!"
Lu Zhixia said, "Money is not a problem. You don't need to worry about that. I can come up with the money."
Zhao Guoqing began to look at the girl in front of him with new eyes. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing for him. His son had mentioned it a couple of times before, saying that the house had been sold and he happened to have some money for his retirement.
Then this time when he came back, he didn't intend to sell the house. The reason he wanted to sell the house to them was because it suited his taste.
"Then let's settle on this for now."
“Okay, Uncle Zhao!” Lu Zhixia said, “Then we’ll go home first, and come back tomorrow to cook something delicious for you.”
Zhao Guoqing: "Great! I love the food you made. It's even better than the food I eat in restaurants in big cities. It's simply divine. There's no food in this world that you can't miss. I want to stay a few more days and eat more."
Lu Zhixia: "No problem, eat as much as you like."
Zhao Guoqing felt very pleased; he enjoyed dealing with people like that.
Lu Zhixia lifted the curtain and left, thinking to herself that if she bought this courtyard, she could renovate it properly.
Anyway, I won't sell it anytime soon. After all, the older the house gets, the more valuable it becomes. I'll just treat it like putting money in the bank and earning high interest.
They quickly returned to the car, and Lu Zhixia noticed that her son kept yawning.
"Just a little longer and we'll be home. Don't go to sleep now, or you won't be able to sleep when you get home."
"Okay, Mom, I know." Gu Huailin yawned again after saying that. He was so sleepy that he felt like he could fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Zhou An'an said, "Why did you come out so late! We saw you leave before we went out, and we sat in the car for a while, but you still didn't come back."
Lu Zhixia said, "We were almost out the door when Uncle Zhao called us back. He asked us if we wanted to buy a house."
