"Someone in my dad's unit wanted to immigrate abroad and wanted to sell all the houses in our family. When my dad knew we wanted to buy a house, he went to tell them, and they were happy to sell the house to us," said Gu Zhao.
"Your father?" Tian Tian was a little confused. "Can people from your father's company go abroad?"
She remembered that the people in Gu Xingshu's unit didn't have a high level of confidentiality, but they were considered relatively important people.
Gu Zhao sighed, "That uncle used to work in administration. His parents were also sent down to the countryside during those ten years. Later, when they were rehabilitated, his parents didn't come back. Although they gave him a lot of money and returned his previous house to him, the uncle didn't want to stay here anymore and wanted to go abroad, so he sold all his houses."
"In fact, he hasn't been exposed to any confidential information for more than ten years. Otherwise, the leaders of his unit wouldn't have let him go abroad so easily!"
Tian Tian nodded in understanding, feeling a little emotional in his heart. No wonder he wanted to go abroad. After all, his parents were all dead, and they died because of that movement. In his eyes, the money and house returned were like compensation for his parents. But his parents were dead, what was the use of the money?
"Are you free tomorrow? If you are free, let's go take a look tomorrow and settle this matter as soon as possible. It's almost May now." Tian Tian asked.
Gu Zhao nodded, "I have time. I will come to you tomorrow morning and take you to see the two houses."
He cleared his time for tomorrow in advance. Even if Tian Tian didn't go, he would still go over and take a look to see if there was any problem with the house.
The next day, the two of them went house hunting together. They first went to the house of Gu Xingshu's colleague. It was an apartment building, and what was different from the ones now was that it was not the common tube-shaped building. It was a very normal apartment building like the modern ones, with two families living on one floor.
Although Tian Tian had seen this kind of house on the street, she had never been inside to take a look. Now after taking a look inside, she was somewhat surprised. Except for the furniture style which was a bit like that of the 1970s, there was actually no difference from other modern buildings. The house had three bedrooms, a living room and two bathrooms, with an area of nearly 100 square meters, and there was no public area. There was a small balcony, which was not big but could be used to plant flowers and plants. The bathroom also had a toilet and a shower.
What surprised Gu Shuang the most was that this house actually had floor heating.
Although floor heating is not common nowadays, it is not unavailable in every household. At least in the small Western-style building where Gu Zhao and his family live, there is floor heating. Although it is not available in every house and only in the few rooms where they live, it is much better than burning fire.
Tian Tian actually doesn't like it very much. Now she has to burn the stove in the room to keep warm. Not only is the room not warm, there is even the possibility of gas poisoning. There is also a lot of dust in the house, and it has to be swept away every day.
It is much more convenient to have floor heating. Although she has to pay heating fees every winter, Tian Tian feels that she can afford it.
Moreover, two of the three bedrooms are very large, and although the other bedroom is only nine square meters, it can accommodate one person. This way, when someone from her hometown comes to visit in the future, there will be no place left for them to stay.
This house is also very quiet. Maybe because it is relatively expensive, there are not many families living in this small building. Most of them are people from Gu Xingshu's unit. At least Tian Tian has stayed here for such a long time and did not hear any running sounds upstairs.
After seeing the house, Tian Tian liked it very much and decided to buy it on the spot. The house is good, but the price is not cheap. Although the seller lowered the price partly because he was going abroad, the price is still not low.
It cost them a total of 700 yuan. Since this was the wedding house for two people, the money was all paid by Gu Zhao. Tian Tian actually wanted to pay part of it as well.
