"Xia Xia, I don't think college is actually that interesting. Don't you have to work in the future?"
Ren Jingxiao felt like he had lost his mind. What if Xia Xia really asked him to go? He quickly changed the subject.
"Let's go find out if there are any houses for sale in that row we saw yesterday." The two people had a clear goal: they only wanted houses like that.
Ren Jingxiao was afraid that Ningxia would talk about studying, so he found a car before she could react.
Although he didn't understand the local dialect, he could probably guess it now.
Ningxia didn't take Ren Jingxiao's study seriously at all. He just wanted to accompany her. Studying was his life.
Looking at this purely European-style building up close, Ningxia was no less shocked than Ren Jingxiao.
It is so romantic. Even though some places have been smashed and damaged, it would be more unique if it could be kept as it was.
Compared with the houses that were renovated later, they have more historical beauty. Ningxia feels that many things have lost their charm after being restored.
"Excuse me, sir, do you know someone named Sun Qiang?" Ningxia saw someone in front of him and walked forward politely to ask.
"What do you mean by strong?" The old man was obviously a little hard of hearing, but he was very kind.
"Sun Qiang." Ren Jingxiao shouted loudly.
"Sun Qiang? We don't have that person here. I know everyone who lives here, but there's no one with the last name Sun. Did you come to the wrong place?"
The old man spoke very standard Mandarin, and he shouted very loudly, as if he was afraid that they couldn't hear him.
"But the address he gave us is here. He asked us to come here to deal with the house and said he couldn't come back." Ningxia looked at him in confusion, observing the person carefully.
"That's impossible. How could the people living here sell their house? Even if they moved, they wouldn't sell it. You must have come to the wrong place." The old man was stunned and waved his hands as he spoke.
The people living here are not ordinary people. Even during those turbulent years, they were fine. Why would they ask someone to deal with their house?
"Did we really make a mistake? That shouldn't be the case, but the houses here are so beautiful. It would be great if someone was selling a house." Ningxia looked over here with envy in her eyes.
"That's right, there are many people here... There are too many people who envy them, so there is nothing to sell. Except for the useless Ju family. Anyway, there is no one as strong as the Sun family you are looking for here." The old man muttered.
Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao looked at each other, got the information they wanted, and continued chatting with the old man calmly.
"Uncle, what happened to the Ju family you mentioned earlier? Are they selling their house? We were so excited when Sun Qiang said he was going to sell the house here, but it seems he was lying to us. Our trip was in vain."
"I just heard you mention the Ju family. Are they going to sell their house here? If so, could you help me find someone to buy a house? I have a big family and we're going to live here in the future. We definitely need a big house."
"I'm old now, and I always want all my children to live together. My grandparents are about your age. And there's my father and his family, and a few other children. This house is not big enough for them all to live in."
Ningxia stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the old man's hand. These cigarettes were foreign cigarettes he bought at the Friendship Store yesterday.
She just took the opportunity to take it out of her pocket, actually from the space.
When the old man saw the smoke, his eyes disappeared with laughter. Those who can live here are not ordinary people.
However, this high-end product is not easy to buy even for them because they have money but no tickets.
This little girl was able to take out the cigarette without making any noise, it seems she is not an ordinary person.
The old man rolled his eyes, put the cigarette in his pocket, and took Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao home.
Ningxia was not afraid and followed the old man. Ren Jingxiao was there!
"Sit down. My family is all at work and busy, so I'm home alone during the day. I'm old and my legs aren't very agile, so I can only wander around the house. I can't meet anyone for a long time, so it's fate that I met you."
The old man looked at the couple and found it really interesting. The girl was smart and the boy was steady.
When girls go out to socialize, boys only have eyes for girls and don't feel embarrassed at all.
"I'm not old at all, uncle. Besides, an old person in the family is like a treasure. My grandparents are the same age as you. I feel close to you when I look at you."
Ningxia looked sincere, and even though he had a purpose, he didn't seem annoying.
"Haha, I see you're relieved too. Just now you asked about the Ju family. It's not complicated at all. It's just that there are too many children and they're making a fuss. The old couple in the Ju family gave birth to nine sons and three daughters. It's said that having many children means more blessings, but they didn't expect such a blessing. They were almost pissed off to death."
"After getting married, everyone with a job lives in a family building, but which of the children wouldn't miss the house? As the elderly couple get older, the ownership of the house becomes a matter of debate. No one wants to give up the house, and both want to keep it all to themselves."
"I won't go into the details of the commotion in between. In the end, the old couple decided to sell the house and split the proceeds equally. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to live comfortably. Speaking of selling the house, they're worried."
"The old couple of the Ju family are researchers. This house was awarded by the state, so they can only live in it. Even if they wanted to sell it, it would be difficult to sell."
"The children have all realized it. They're afraid that if the old couple passes away, the government will take the house back. They just want to sell it while they're still alive and get the money."
"It's just that the price is a bit high. Everyone wants to sell it at a high price, but no one is stupid. Who can come up with that much money now?"
The old man sighed as he spoke, saying that the house was a good house, but no one dared to buy it, and no one had that much money.
After hearing what the old man said, Ningxia thought of him. In later generations, the property rights of many Western-style buildings in Shanghai still belonged to the government.
Only in a few cases did people pay money to handle the property rights, and only later did it become under their name.
However, few people would do this at that time. The cost of property rights processing would be almost as much as the cost of buying a house, which is equivalent to buying the house yourself.
Everyone can already live in it, so who would want to spend money to buy it? Just like the collective housing of those units, they want to get the housing for free.
If I had to spend money, I could buy anything with it. Why would I have to wait for the company to give me money?
In other words, if they want to buy this house and want it to truly belong to them without any trouble in the future, they will have to give the Ju family one part of the money to buy the house and another part of the money to obtain the property rights.
Ningxia hesitated for a moment, but in the end she couldn't bear to give up the house here. Suitable houses are hard to come by, so she wanted to go and see the house first and hear the price offered by the Ju family.
"Uncle, can we go and see the house first?" Ningxia thought about it and said to the old man who was still sighing.
